ActionScript 3.0 :: Possible To Copy Pixels Or Handle Image From URL?
Aug 9, 2010
Any way to copy the pixels or handle the image from URL "[URL]" in Flash? It will work fine in FLASH IDE but when I look this in browser, then it crashed. I know that its crossdomain Issue. I always get childAllowParent=false after loading. It always crashed when I want to get event.target.content or
addMC.getChildByName(mcName);
I am loading this image from Google Image search API in Flash CS3 Professional and AS3.
I'm trying to copy pixels from a loaded image. This code generates no errors but there is a missing link between the bitmapData object and the loaded image.
I have drawn something onto a bitmap. But I now want to copy pixels in a shape other than a rectangle (as specified by copyPixels documentation) how would i do it? pull pixels line by line or something?
works: bitmapDatatemp.copyPixels(bitmapData, rectangle, new Point(0,0)); need: bitmapDatatemp.copyPixels(bitmapData, triangleetc, new Point(0,0));
Having trouble trying to scroll BitmapData on a half pixel here is my original code
var speed:Number = 1; _bitmapData.copyPixels(_backgroundParallax, _screenRect, _zeroPoint, null, null, true); _backgroundParallax.copyPixels(_backgroundParallax, new Rectangle(0, 0, speed, _backgroundParallax.height), new Point(_backgroundParallax.width-speed,0), null, null, false); _backgroundParallax.scroll( (speed*-1) , 0);
which works until i change the var speed to .5, which is because .scroll method is expecting int's so i replicated what scroll is doing to try and allow .5 pixels
Some images I load dynamically are too big so I would like to scale them to fit the stage.
[Code]...
this returns 0. Why does it return 0 when the image loaded is obviously much larger then 0 pixels. How do I change the width and height of imgCont to a specified dimension.
I imported and .png (bitmap) and converted it to symbol however when I place it on stage and look at it the corners (marker with red, edit: basically all the corners are somewhat incorrect) appear somewhat ugly, however when I zoom in to 200% I see that everything is correct. I'm also sure that when importing the .png image the pixels were correct. Why is it so and how to fix it?
I actually try to do the following: I have loaded an external image in a bitmapdata object and create a bitmap from it which i attach it to a sprite/MovieClip in order to have mouse events on it. Now under the previous logic i loaded two images (let's say circles) of the same size one that has a particular color and is covered by its black foreground circle. When i press left mouse button and hold it down i want while the mouse is moved to erase the foreground circle's pixels and so the background image starting to appear.[code]...
I have a swf file that loads into my main movie, and within that swf there is a masked image that i would like to scale using zoom in and out buttons and also by using a slider bar.However i cant find any tutorials that will allow me to combine the two.I have used the following code for the buttons. Which seems to work ok but i would like it to be a little smoother. (using speed or some sort of easing??)
I have a movie clip called column1_mc. when I click a button I need to move the movie clip in incremental moves consisting of 30 pixels.
column1_mc._y = 30;
Does not work because that is giving a _y coordinate.For example.I need to make the movie clip jump to _y 300 but make 10x30 pixel incremental jumps. Moving 10 times 30 pixel jumps.
I have a Flash fla file that contains a whole lot of images. The majority of each image is composed of transparent pixels with a visual object in there somewhere. Each image at the moment is at {x:0, y:0}.I want to trim away the transparent pixels of the image down to a minimum bounding box, but keep the object at the same global position. This requires shifting the trimmed image to the global position of the object in the untrimmed image.This is not so much a problem, but the fact that the images are all contained in a fla is the problem. The options I see at the moment are:
investigate JSFL, the Bitmap object has a getPixels, this in combination with a selection and delete operation could work save the fla to xfl and enumerate the images and associated xml with something like Ruby + image processing lib
Questions: Does anyone know upfront if this operation is possible in JSFL? Have anyone done much automated processing of xfl files? Is there an off the shelf image processor that can perform this trimming operation?
Is it possible to detect (dynamically) the white pixels of an image and delete them? Actually i have some images that i load on stage but they are square without the actual image be a square sized. So i want to make the hit area exactly the shape of the image and not the whit border they have.
I've seen this being done before and I thought it would be easy, but got stumped when trying to replicate it. I'm trying to create a function in flash which will take dark pixels of an image of hair and lighten it and maybe add colour too... Is that really tough to do or does anyone have an easy way around it? Example: [URL]
I am trying to load an image of size 6000 × 8192 pixels which cleary exceeds flash platform limitation for an image.
I am trying which doesn't seem to work.
I have had search around the internet and found few components like BitmapDataUnlimited, and BigAssCanvas but I amn't sure if I can use them for displaying a remote image as none of them seem to have a working implemented example and just the class itself.
I want to do a distortion on a image. Something simple, i searched the web for a tutorial but I couldn't find one. What i need to do is to re-arrange the pixels in a video element or in a bitmap element.
I kept on getting: ArgumentError: Error #2015: Invalid BitmapData. error whenever I tried to handle image of 5184†—†3456 dimensions, until I wasn't told by my friend that there is a limit in Flash, but he didn't know what was it exactly and I can't find anything on official doc pages.
I'm creating a scrollbar gallery from a tutorial on this site. Though I've completed the tutorial, and customised the gallery to my own needs, however I'm trying to make a very small change to it - and no matter what I do, keep running into problems. I'm trying to replace the rectangular handle with my own customised handle - a (20 x 20) 'circular' png image that I've imported into Flash, made a graphic and stored in the library (though I understand it can be imported using actionscript, like the other images in the gallery).
I am building a sliding image movie. It takes two photos and compares them by using "startDrag" to slide a "setMask" MC horizontally to reveal one photo under another. The idea here is to compare two photos taken 50 years apart.
[Code]....
As you can see I have two MCs here one is a mask and the other is a handle of sort. They work fine separately but I would like to have the two function in unison or as one MC. The handle MC is just that a handle that appears on the left edge of the masked image. So when user drags the handle the masked image moves as well. (or vice versa)
I'm doing my daily homework at Flashkit, in order to see how other people do certain thint was just the other day when I downloaded the "Fade script image gallery" by Ben Durman, when I stepped into an unsusual? behaviour that I can't get to understand.It's very simple, in the gallery there are 10 pictures. Everytime you click in one number, the previous image fades out and the new image fades in. The AS code is very simple and easy to understand. However, why I can't possibly understand is that when I create a new layer with another image, the whole movie starts to statter, transitions are not smooth any longer and some transitions are not even properly executed. The more layers/pictures I add, the worse it all gets (15 pics is almost impossible to handle)Part of the original code which makes transition between pictures happen is this:
[AS] onClipEvent (enterFrame) { // find alpha of new pic
How can I copy or duplicate the bitmapdata from a mx:image component?
I need to display the same image in multiple screens of my application and don't want to have to download the image multiple times.
I could just use a urlrequest to download the image as a bitmap and copy that but I like the way you can can just set the source of the image component.
Do any one have idea of copying only a small portion of a image, further it could be made as mc. Or any other method to do this in as3? Not manually breaking the image and convert as mc.
I'm looking for a way to select an arbitrary rectangle from a Graphic Symbol (or Movie Clip) in an arbitrary layer and to copy and paste it somewhere else.
I load an png image and add it to the display list. Now I want to add this image more than once, like a pinball game there could be 3,4,5 balls, all with the same image. But I cant add the same image reference more than once to the display list, right? So should I make a copy of it? How can I copy it and add to the display list without needing to load it from file more than once?
I tried using this: [URL] But didnt worked! I use the class Loader to load an png, and I use the Loader.content as a parameter of that function. When I add the result to the displaylist nothing appears!
I have a solitaire game. There's a bug that only shows up in Windows, not Mac. When a player moves a card from one pile to another, a copy of the card image shows up in the left corner and stays there until the player moves another card. When the player moves the mouse over the image the image erases. Here is the game: [URL]
