ActionScript 3.0 :: Sharp Images With BitmapData
Dec 12, 2009
I'm scaling down images loaded from as3 and I want them to stay sharp. They are scaled because I have a liquid layout which resizes a "body" movieclip that contains the images (loaded from xml).
I used code from here to scale bitmap, but I don't really understand it. [URL]
My biggest problem is that since the images are loaded as displayObjects rather than bitmaps, I need to know how to change the bitmapData of each displayObject.
Second problem is that I need the code the change the data, but not scale it down also(it is already scaled down). How do I do that?
Here is my attempt...
Code:
//code is executed when image is first loaded (I don't care if it is resized afterwards)
//thumb is the displayObject that is my image
[Code].....

I'm followed the tutorial from this website about the FLASH and XML files. First of all, good tutorial. But in the .swf I tried to make; my images are not sharp. I double checked the sharpness of the images in Photoshop, but the images are definitely sharp. So the problem is somewhere in Flash.

I am creating an interactive post-it for an upcoming event that allows for us to tap into a sql database and post tweets, survey answers and images. We've already tapped into the Twitter API and the survey, so those are A-OK.The problem lies within loading the images from a location other than the local interactive board's server.If the image itself is locally hosted, it loads just fine.If the image is hosted elsewhere, the image will not load, even though I have a trace on the URL of said image.I'm loading all tweets, surveys and images through an XML load and all the data is loading properly.I AM loading the image through a smoothing filter so that when the "post-its" are slightly rotated, they are not jagged. Here is THAT code:[code]
This is a two part script where the bulk loads in the image and places it into an empty movieclip, then adds the smoothing filter. The second part is a resizer that automatically resizes the image and keeps the aspect ratio.When I test the flash piece (not embedded in HTML) the thing works 100%.As soon as I put the swf into an html and view it on a web page, the remote images will not load.I'm a bit stumped on why this is, could this be a firewall or security issue? Because I work in a high security firewall environment.

As my as3 skills are not good, I stumbled against this problem, my approach in overall will probably not be the easiest, but here it goes:
In the library of my fla file I have imported 4 pictures, in the properties (class) I gave them the name photo0, photo1, photo2, photo3. With my code on the time line I create dynamically 4 movieclips and now I want to attach photo0 to movieclip 1 and photo 2 to movieclip 2 and sofort...
Is there a way to give the bitmapdata name also a dynamic name, something like[code]...

I have an image loaded from BitmapData displayed in an Image control. This Image control has dragEnabled and user can drag and drop small images (from a bunch of images in a TileList) on top of it.
The image loaded from the Bitmapdata can be different every time with different resolution and the Image control scales it down to fit its fixed with/height. But while saving the image after editing I am saving it with its original width/height. For this purpose I am storing the original Bitmapdata in a temp object and applying any edits there before saving.
how to create an image combining the Large image and the small images dropped into it. May be I can use display object snapshot but then I want to save the image with its original with/height and preferably after converting it to Bitmapdata.

When you load an image into a MovieClip then use that as the data source to draw() into a BitmapData object, the documentation says "Optionally, you can specify whether the bitmap should be smoothed when scaled. This works only if the source object is a BitmapData object." To me that implies that a second BitmapData object is needed in order for the optional [smooth:Boolean] parameter to work when set to true.
We found we didn't need to "double buffer" in this way when using MovieClip.attachBitmap() with the [smoothing:Boolean] parameter set to true. We did run into another problem though. This problem only manifests itself when you run the SWF as part of an HTML file running from a local web server like http://127.0.0.1. Here's the problem: images are loaded dynamically (URL's pulled from assets.xml) and the ones that are loaded locally from a directory on the same machine load and are smooth and distortion free. Other URL's point to a remote host. The images loaded via a remote source (example) do not "smooth nicely" running the exact same code as the local images. The remote images are shimmery and exhibit update artifacts. If you run the exact same page not via an http:// web sever i.e. - just loading the html page into the IE, then the remote images do get nice smoothing when animated.
Is there some magic to get BitmapData loaded from a remote source to smooth correctly when run from a local web sever? For our internal demo we removed any remote URLs so we could demonstrate that Flash does provide the ability for nice smooth animations but it would be a good problem to solve.

I am trying to let the user import giant images into a flash application. Unfortunately the BitmapData object's dimensions cannot exceed "8,191 pixels in width or height, and the total number of pixels cannot exceed 16,777,215 pixels" (see Reference)
Obviously with FlashPlayer11 these limitations vanish - BUT: As I only get bytes from the FileReference, I need to convert these via Loader.loadBytes(), to get access to the image data. This doesn't seem to work for images exceeding the old BitmapData limitations.

I think it have something to do with the frames of my movie.. pls help me out on this one.. any resorces on how to make a sharp progress preloader???

I am trying to use the reflect class from "http://pixelfumes.blogspot.com/2007/03/reflection-class-v3-with-source .html" but I keep getting this error:
ArgumentError: Error #2015: Invalid BitmapData.
at flash.display::BitmapData()
at Reflect()
at Site_fla::GalleryPage_29/loadThumbs()
at Site_fla::GalleryPage_29/sortXML()
[Code]...
btw, first I used assigned thumbContainer as the mc argument (outside the loadThumbs() function) and it worked but not exactly what I wanted... because I thought it is supposed to update when the movieclip is animated but it actually didn't... when I use a scroller, only the thumbs that are first loaded to the stage get the reflection..

I've been using BitmapData.copyPixels() to draw graphics onto a canvas (Bitmap).I need to rotate the resulting graphics without the use of draw() because it's vastly slower.How can I rotate the target graphic? I'm assuming that there might be a formula or library that I can use which will first reorganize the pixels that make up a graphic based on an origin (point) and radians.I'm pretty certain that I'm not capable of creating such logic, so if there are any known libraries that do this, that would be awesome.I'd like to achieve something similar to XNA's SpriteBatch.Draw() method, which accepts rotation as its 5th argument.

I'm attempting to "cache images in" upon loading my SWF, and I am not sure what the standard is for this. Basically I have (let's say) 5 buttons and 5 accompanying images. When the SWF is loading on a server, I want all 5 of my images to be loaded into memory, but not copied. Then when I click on one of the buttons it would bring up the corresponding image for that button id. Couple of things to point out: I don't don't if I need multiple clip loaders or one multiple BitmapData instances or one I *do* know that I need multiple movieclips, FWIW. Here's my start:

I've made a mobile version of my software, with low-res images and such, and I can now fully buffer all my content (including a 360 frame animation which is buffered to memory). Problem is, that everytime I update the view, more memory is used.When I write image = new BitmapData();, does it store the previously created BitmapData's in memory? Do I have to flush the memory somehow before I draw my second picture in BitmapData?Example:

The title might be a little misleading. Look at my code and I will explain
public static function loadTile(tileDir:String = "empty"):void
{
if(tileDir != "empty")
{
tPoint = new Point(0,0);
tRect = new Rectangle(0,0,30,30);
[Code]...
I am trying to do tiling with sprites. I want my tiles to be interactive, so that is why I am using the sprite object instead of using regular bitMaps to represent my tiles. You might be wondering why I wouldnt just use graphics.beginBitmapFill(tImage); and graphics.drawRect(0, 0,tWidth ,tHeight ); to pick out the tiles I want to use. Well reason being is because it turns out that drawRect() first and second parameters actually alter the location of where the actual sprite sits at.
So if I set the x and y properties of the sprite to x = 20, and y = 20. then I set my drawRect(20,20). it actually adds an extra 20 pixels to my x and y coords of my sprite. And I know the reason why, I just need to know a better way.

I have a flash file sitting inside of a web page in our company domain. There is another server (used to store images) that is part of the domain but is not running any web services (for security reasons). A folder on the images server is however shared in such a way that any site on the web server can display images from the images server as long as the user is plugged into the domain. For example, both I and my boss can pull up a web site on the web server and see all the information, but only he can see the images
because I have Vista Basic and no domain support. This is done via "<img src='\serverNamedirectory.'/>"
That's ok, but on this particular instance I don't want to display the image on the webpage, I want it in a SWF on the page. However the SWF can't seem to load the images even though the page it's sitting in could. I've tried tons of variations of URLRequests and Loaders, most resulting in security errors. Since most of the online discussions about these errors revolve around cross-domain access, I can't seem to find any tech support for our specific situation.
