I have a project that is drawing ~10,000 small tiles into one large bitmap container - it's a mosaic. In Flash proper and in FireFox it takes about 20 seconds to complete the drawing. Very acceptable. In Chrome it takes about 1:30 and in IE it takes roughly 3:00 - both too slow to be acceptable to the client - who of course reviewed with IE. I have Flash set to run at 45 fps - and the images are populated by a Timer - at 2 ms intervals. Maybe 2 ms is too fast? But in my testing 1ms was slower as was 3ms, so I kept it at 2. And it works fine in FF and Flash...

View 2 Repliesi sort of asked this before but never got a clear responce to it. this is sort of a two part question. one i have a dynamic gallery of images with a small picture that you click on that loads a bigger picture. I would love to be able to just have one photo that loads into the bigger mc and also the small mc. right now what i am doing is making two size photos a small 47x47 and a large141x141. does anyone know how i can use the same photo for both mc's second question. if that works will it make the small photos take forever to load since their sorce is a large photo?
View 5 RepliesI'm using a 3800x3000 bitmap as a background of a game.
Now, I first show the whole bitmap - the landscape -, and than zoom in at the characters. I'm using TweenMax from GreenSock, but even with this advanced tween class my bitmap doesn't move and scale smooth.
I'd like to work with smaller bitmaps too and scale them, but than I'll lose the quality, and I can't blur the bitmap to hide the quality loss, since there's a terrain in the bitmap too, and I don't want to blur that.
Let's say I have some background made up of 4,000 small vector images (doesn't matter what they are, say flowers or stars or something). Once this background is set, these small items won't move or animate. The background will stay the same.What I would do, rather than keep 4,000 sprites on the stage, I would create one single background "Bitmap" which has all the sprites drawn onto it once.Is this still a good idea if that Bitmap is so large it covers the entire stage (which may be quite large for larger monitors if using NO_SCALE and fullscreen or something), or is it better to break that large Bitmap into 4 or more smaller ones placed seamlessly alongside eachother to seem like a large one?

Requirement: Create single very large bitmap data which contain some 30 PNG images loaded and for each image it should have some text. Images and text are loaded dynamically (AS2 code. Images are stored in a remote server). The bitmap data display should show 8 images at a time and corresponding text. We can see rest content by scrolling (kinetic scroll is implemented). How can I go for it?Some questions:Is there any limit for size of bitmap data ( As per link there is restriction on the height of the bitmap we can create in AS2 (max value is 2880 which is not enough for some 30 element list If we create individual bitmap data for 30 individual PNG files, we find some jerks in scroll. How can we have smooth scrolling?
View 5 RepliesI have a preloader and 10 swf that needs to be cache. My problem was that when the preloader started, it was not only caching the swf, but a lot of .flv and a lot of the same player skin (flvplayback component). I don't need and don't want to preload or cache those .flv. They need to be load only when someone is on the page not before (in real time, not preload).
But the problem is that the videos (flv) are on the first frame of every swf cause I need the video to start when they enter the page. So when the preloader start, it starts to preload the videos too (since they are on the first frame).Is there a solution to change the behavior of the preloader or restrict what he can load ?Is there a better way to make my video start on enter frame without putting it on the first frame ? Something that would not be preload and cache but that would start when the user enter the page ?
I'm trying to export to PNG from the JSFL document.exportPNG function with 'bCurrentPNGSettings' but it fails. Flash keeps complaining that "The bitmap is too large.The largest bitmap that can be created is 8000x800 pixels."The width x height of the document is set to 1920x1080 and I've tried modifying the publish profile appropriately.Still no-dice. If I set 'bCurrentPNGSettings' to false so that the export dialog appears it pops up with the correct width and height; clicking OK exports properly.
View 2 Replies[URL]This site loads in all of the large images behind the scenes, so once you click through a project, the images appear immediately.
Ben.
I am creating a Flash site for a client who wants to display many (about 15) fairly hi-res photos as well as a video. I am using the Video class to display and control the video, and the Loader class to load the photos. I preload them from an XML file up front, while "loading..." is displayed.
The video plays immediately after the loader finishes, and the user can also choose to view the slideshow, which has left/right arrows which show each photo with a simple fade tween between each one.
The problem I am having seems to be that when all these assets are loaded, the video and the "fade" effects are very choppy. If I cut down on the number of photos, everything works fine; but I have to include all of them, plus the video.
I am storing all the Loader instances in an array, and when they are requested, I add them to the stage and fade them in. When it finishes fading in I remove the previous one from the stage. So they are all stored in Flash's "memory", but there is only one Loader or Video instance on the stage at any given time. Is there a better way to handle this? Perhaps some way to cache the images but not bog down Flash's memory? I would prefer to have everything loaded up front in order to avoid needing a "loading..." for every slide.
I coded a multiple file uploader using the FileReferenceList and PHP. It works great for me all the time on my Fios internet connection, which is by far faster then DSL, etc... So my issue kinda went unnoticed until I got on a DSL connection. Now, many of the files I was uploading seem to be timing out, but there is no indication of this. No errors, etc... just stops its progress and NEVER finishes. Tried bumping up the script execution time on the server
View 6 RepliesThis is absolutely driving me crazy. While I'm a fan of the availability of asynchronous calls in AIR, I'm finding that being forced to use them for something that should be SUPER simple is a severe limitation. So severe that I may end up abandoning AIR and writing native Android and iOS apps instead of using the shared AIR platform.
OK, now that I have that off my chest, here's what I'm trying to accomplish. I have an app that, when deployed, is relatively small. But once deployed to a user's device that user will log in using a login name/password. Once they log in, content specific to that user needs to be downloaded and saved to the local device. Since the content varies by user I can't include it in the package for deployment.
But I cannot figure out how to accomplish this: say I want to download 10 files and each file is 2-3mb and I want to show a "Downloading, please wait..." view during the download. The application cannot proceed until all 10 files are downloaded. But since from what I've seen URLStream and URLLoader are both async I cannot figure out how to block the app from opening the "View available content" and say on the "Downloading, please wait..." view.
Is it possible convert 500 bitmap to movieclips at once or did i have convert all one by one.
View 8 RepliesI have created a class called LoadXML that loads an XML file and parses the data returning various arrays consisting of url paths: background urls (called "hintergrund"), image urls ("pfad") etc. In the main class I am trying to load each of these background urls and insert them each in a seperate cover (for a CoverFlow carousel). The images will then be loaded in the same cover and should appear on top of the background.I havent been able to insert multiple images in one bitmap. This is what my image loading methods look like:(I also added my LoadXML class and xml file in the attachments).

I'm building a game that will be using a bitmap to render the environmental scene. the bitmap is a black image with little green squares to indicate x,y place holders for tree locations as i render the scene. i was thinking of looping thru each pixel to find green pixels but this proves to be a performance hit when the image is 2500x2500. then i found what i thought was a handy little method called BitmapData.getColorBoundsRect() that will locate the position of the green box. It does this but it returns me 1 rectangle of all the green boxes inside.
View 2 RepliesI'm cutting my teeth in actionscript 3 on a game that has a character running through a world. So, I have set up my Hit Testing by using the bitmap data hit test method, since I figured my world is going to be destructible - it'd be nice to update the level and then redraw it and have the character interact with the new change. (That works beautifully) I am however; a bit confused as to how I have my hit Testing set up. I've been messing around with it, and it works for now - but I'm not sure why.. currently, I have a character set up by using a class I built and using a series of animations I created. So, this character has a walking and falling animation, etc. This is a movie clip.
Then there's a bitmap 'emptyBitmap' with bitmap data created - however; I never really added this as a child to the character. This is sized to the dimensions of my character. My level is created as a movielip, then it's drawn to a bitmap - when the level movieclip is changed, the bitmap redraws, and that's how this updates.

I know the topic of "duplicating" movieclips is a hot issue with the new virtual machine. Luckily, I understand the implications. I only am [currently] interested in duplicating a Bitmap. See, I load an image from an URL using 'flash.display.Loader.load', which is a non-blocking operation in Flash Player.However,I may use multiple copies of the loaded image (which is reported to be a Bitmap, naturally) in the display list at the same time.Hence, I naturally do not want to load the image from an URL every time, because I don't want to wait for a non-blocking call to complete. Nor do I need to - I mean one copy is already loaded, so it should be possible to just "duplicate" it, right?
My idea is to do use the bitmapData property of a Bitmap and pass it to the constructor of a new Bitmap object. I have not tried the following in action, but I want to hear whether any of you did and if the following would not work, what would:
Code:
var original_bitmap: Bitmap;
var copy_of_original_bitmap: Bitmap = new Bitmap(original_bitmap.bitmapData);
LiveDocs mention that the BitmapData being passed to a Bitmap constructor is "being referenced", which to me might suggest it cannot be used twice? There is also the BitmapData::clone() method, which I am not sure is applicable here or not.I know this is a lot of talk instead of just trying this out, but I test so much Flash Player code daily just to see "what works" (which should be documented instead by Adobe),
If I have a BitmapData that's already been drawn onto a Sprite. Is there a way to redraw the BitmapData onto a Sprites Graphics object without having to invoke beginBitmapFill and passing in the same BitmapData?
View 1 RepliesI'm working on a game, and to keep performance good, instead of addChild'ing 50 new sprites to the stage every second, I decided to have each player draw to their own bitmap, and then to the 'master' bitmap.

Is there a way to write a bitmap font right into the bitmap being desplayed? Mabey better worded: myBitmap.draw(image, t) draws a picture is there a way to draw text? I'm stuck even if its just a work around in some way I would like to know... (the current work around i have in my head is writing it in a movieclip turning that into bitmap data and drawing it... esentially creating a prototype answering my question... but a built in way would be easier probably).
View 2 RepliesIn AS3, I am loading a png from a zip file (nochump's zip library through ByteArray to Loader). The png can be up to 45k pixels wide but only 120 tall. This creates a problem in flash, as images can only be ~8000 pixels wide. A possible solution would be to split the images into 6 columns somehow. This would probably need to be done in the ByteArray state, because the limitation is in Bitmap and Loader.
