im using the pngEncoder from adobe, its working great. But all my .PNG's are saved with a whit bg, how to export with transparent?
ActionScript Code:
function eventPostPictureToServer(e:TimerEvent):void
{
var urlLoader:URLLoader = new URLLoader();
[code]....
I am trying to utilize the PNGEncoder with the dynamicfash Base64 to send a Base64 String to PHP and save the PNG File but for some reason that i cannot figure out, the PNG file is never readable. It is there and has a size (contains data) but cannot be opened by anything so is not a valid png file. Here is my code...
Code:
var target:MovieClip = new MovieClip();
target.graphics.beginFill(0xff0000,5.0);[code]..........
As usual I've come across something easy to do in Flex but not in Flash. Flex has ImageSnapshot and PNGEncoder to get a .png out of a display object. Any way to do this in flash without using a 3rd party API as I can't distribute a license with my app. I'm using Flash CS5. I wish there was as much support for Flash as there is for Flex. I've had to write my own tree component, if I'd have used Flex I could have just used the Flex tree component. I'm hoping I don't have to write my own display object to png class myself.
View 2 RepliesI'm trying to use PNGEncoder to encode a bitmapData object into a png ByteArray so I can send the data to the server. Everything would be peachy except the bitmapData is 4000x4000px and when I run the PNGEncoder.encode function on it the whole app stops (UI is blocked) for 5-8 seconds while it runs. Does anybody have any suggestions on how to not make it block so bad, I read about chunking up the process (since you can't multithread in AS3) but can't find any sample code on chunking up the process.
View 6 RepliesI have a large image that exceeds the bitmapdata limits, so I am trying to break it up into 4 separate images and encode them separately using the PNGEncoder. The first 1 comes out great. The remaining 3 all contain the same bytearray data and result in a blank image.
Code:
public function encodeUsersDrawing():void{
pngImageQuadrant1 = new BitmapData(1875, 2400, true);
pngImageQuadrant2 = new BitmapData(1875, 2400, true);
pngImageQuadrant3 = new BitmapData(1875, 2400, true);
pngImageQuadrant4 = new BitmapData(1875, 2400, true);

Also i understand that i only get 96dpi from image, because of my monitor dpi, but I need to make sure that even it generates 96dpi, it really is 300dpi quality.
I am taking 28 original images from user and making a "thumbnail picture collage" out of it for printing. I dont get the crisp quality in generated collage images, compared to originals. Here are my function, I really need to generate photo quality images for printing.
private function createImages(object:Object):void
{
progress.text = "Start Generating Images ( "+(index+1)+" - 28 )";
images_array.push(ImageSnapshot.captureImage(album.tilesList[index],30 0,new PNGEncoder()));

I'm trying to import an image and assign it to a Loader object, which works just fine, though I want to use the PNGEncoder rather than a the JPGEncoder, because if the source image has an alpha channel (transparency) I want that data preserved. The code, or the encoder, or something is preventing or deleting the alpha channel data. What should be transparent is showing as white.

I am creating a program that is effectively an sprite creator. I'm very new to AS3, but I know JQuery, JS, PHP, etc. After going through multiple steps of selecting pieces to customize a character, you are supposed to be able to download the final product using fileReference(). Everything works, and I can download the image in the end, but the problem is that I cannot capture all of several movieclips on the stage, I can only capture one. Maybe this will help clarify:
[Code]...
Could it be that each of the movieclips I'm adding to the sprite have children of their own?
I'm creating a DressUp kind of game using only external .png files for items (such as dresses, hair styles, bags etc).Some of my image files have transparent space left/right of the drawing itself. What I want to do, is set the hitArea of that certain movieclip (which contains the .png file) only to the visible area (to the actual drawing). This would be a fairly easy job if all the items had have the same size, but sizes are different from item to another.Taking the attached image, the grey area should not respond to mouse events.

View 6 RepliesI created an image in Photoshop that included a gradient layer fading from transparency to a foreground color (in this case, black). I saved this image as a PNG file and imported the file onto my Flash stage. The gradient appears on the image as expected when viewing the stage in the Flash editor, however, when I test the movie, the gradient no longer appears.
View 2 RepliesI have created a swf for the header of my website. On the top layer I have an image that stays static while the rest of the header changes images. I am trying to get the static image to be fairly transparent but am not having much luck. I created the image in PS I saved it with transparency but it doesn't look right in the swf.

clip.addEventListener(MouseEvent.MOUSE_UP, stopDragging);

URL..they rocky frame you see is a PNG and it's converted in MovieClip to be able to change it's index so it's always in front of the other objects.Problem: once I get what I want (MC+png is in front of everything) I'm not able to interact with anything under the MC anymore.I know the problem it's that the png extends for all the MC space but I really need to make those object under the frame interactable.
View 2 RepliesI have a PSD with about 30 layered transparencies. I exported each individual layer as a PNG 24 with the transparent background in tact. I then made identical layers in Flash just like I had in Photoshop, and imported each PNG to it's corresponding layer at which point I converted the graphic to a movie clip for future scripting animations. Once I got to the 24th layer Flash quit recognizing my transparencies and my first Flash layer masked anything else I brought in from layer 24 on....but the layers above remained OK!! I checked and double checked my Photoshop exports and had several Flash "gurus" check my work. Nobody can figure out what is wrong! Is there a limit to the number of PNG tranparencies allowed on seperate layers in a Flash document?
View 7 RepliesI'm working on a project where I want to use a transparent png, and when authoring in Flash CS3 (using actionscript 2.0) the png image appears transparent just as it should. However when I test it the .swf file loses the transparency entirely. The png image was saved for web from photoshop as png-24.

One problem. My background color turned to white. How do I specify a background color, or transparency?
With CS3, when I entered a movieclip, I could see the other movieclips/stage in the background. But now when I enter a movieclip with CS4, I get the stage color as the background. If I try to test that "scene", the objects are in the top left corner.
It makes positioning from within a movieclip very very difficult.
I have a flash SWFObject on a pafge and i want to make the background transparent so that the base HTML background shows through. This is my code:

so.addVariable("xml", "data.xml?time="+new Date().getTime())
so.write("flashcontent");

Is there a way to turn off the transparent appearance of the toolbars when you drag them in Flash CS3. For example, when I drag the actionscript toolbar, it turns transparent and it's really lagging on my system

I'm an art student and have produced some pieces in Flash 8. Now I've been asked for a high-quality (i.e. a letter-sized print at 600dpi) image, but the animation uses transparency.
I've been able to generate vector-based PDFs that I can blow up to as big as I want with no quality loss, but the transparency dissappears.
When I conserve the transparency, I get something that'll print at about 1/10 the size I need at 600dpi.
If it's not possible from the Flash Player (or from Flash 8), then does anyone know of an alternate program that'll do this for me (preferably free or cheap)?
I am trying to get the alpha values in the rect of one (playball_mc) clip inside another bigger clip (dst_mc). The clip dst_mc has a bitmap attatched and also has a shaderFilter that calculates the alpha values.ut I only get alpha values of 0xFF.Does anyone know what I am doing wrong or where the alpha value gets lost?
CODE:var rSource:Rectangle=new Rectangle(playball_mc.x,playball_mc.y,80,80)
dst_bmp.draw(dst_mc);bmd1.copyPixels( dst_bmp , rSource, new Point(0,0) );

I'm using AS2 with Flash CS4. How can I change the alpha of a ComboBox? I tried:
MyCombo._alpha = 25;
// and
MyCombo.alpha = 25;
But both have no effect on my ComboBox, it just appears to have the alpha set to 100.
What's the best way to bring in an image with transparency in Flash CS4?I have a logo in Photoshop that looks great on a black background. But when I bring it in as a GIF or PNG in Flash, the edges get really jagged.Is there a preferred way to import this so the edges are smooth?
View 2 RepliesI need to use te colorTransform to change the color of one movieclip in stage. I can do it, but I loose the original degrades illustration has. How to apply the color transform but defining one alpha to the new color, so what is being fill doesn't looses its appearance?

root[que_tv].tv.alphaMultiplier = 0.5;
If I have a graphic that is fully transparent in places, can I make only the non-transparent portions of the graphic respond to mouse clicks? I realize I can probably do this with a few lines of code, e.g. detect the click and then check the alpha value under the mouse. But I was looking for something simple. For example, in Director there is an "alphaThreshold" in a graphic that determines at what alpha value a bitmap will respond to mouse clicks. Does Flash / AS3 have a similar capability?
