ActionScript 3.0 :: Text To Bitmap Error (Creates Rectangle)?
Jul 15, 2010
I'm doing a basic reflection class that will take any MovieClip, create a copy (using BitmapData), and do the flipping, alpha, gradient mask, etc to create a nice reflection.The class works great, with the exception of dynamic text.I've done quite a bit of searching, and I realize that you must put the TextField into a MovieClip and then take the BitmapData of the MovieClip.
Sounds great... but when I actually do this, the BitmapData that is display on the screen is a box (like a bounding rectangle around the text) that is filled with white.
Other relevant info:
1.) The TextField has embedFonts = true;

I was working on some blitting code today and after profiling it found that I was creating 1000s of new rectangles. I was shocked because I only had 1 or 2 different new Rectangle() calls or I was using the .rect property of BitmapData.
I started commenting out huge swathes of code until I was left with this code in my sprite class:
canvas.bitmapData.copyPixels(_bitmapData, _bitmapData.rect, destination, null, null, true);
I cached the result of _bitmapData.rect at object creation and my thousand of new rectangle calls were suddenly gone from the profiler.
Why the heck would BitmapData.rect create a new rectangle? Is there a way to check the core libraries or something and confirm this is true?

Is there a way to avoid this? I import A LOT of bitmaps all the time and it's really really annoying to have to delete the graphic symbol flash creates with it.
Couldn't find a way to toggle this "feature" off in preferences.

For those of you still with me, I am tasked with making some scrollable content in Flash. Load in a TextFile using LoadURL(), then display it. To get the text, we've written our own class TextFieldExtended, which is basically just there to give the textfile location to the constructor and then have the class do the various steps of getting it and loading it for you.So I needed to get a Scrollbar, which I got hereThe thing is, it works with Sprites.After trying to get it to accept TextFieldExtended, I bumped into a block, since the scrollbar relied heavily on a Sprite property that TextFieldExtended didn't have or could have.
So I tried adding the TextFieldExtended instance to a Sprite instance using addchild.A problem occurs here that I do not know how to handle. It seems that a Rectangle is drawn and the Text is drawn on that. I say this because the scrollbar moves the Rectangle up and down a bit, but the text doesn't scroll, just the Rectangle it is positioned in and the text then moves along with it.My question: can this be fixed, or is does this implementation of scrollbars need a lot of adaptations before this is possible?

I just started working with bitmaps and I do not get them at all, I've read the entire page adobe has on bitmap and bitmapdata. I've got this code together but all it does is displays a white rectangle and not my image.
ActionScript Code:
package {
import flash.display.MovieClip;
import flash.display.Loader;
import flash.display.Bitmap;
import flash.display.BitmapData;
This code should load the image into the bitmap (which works), then crop it with the rectangle (which just crops the fill from the bitmapdata)

The following code is supposed to create a rectangle that magnifies the underling bitmap ("island2.jpg", attached) as it is dragged around by the mouse. However, only the upper left portion of the rectangle is functioning.[code]

If I draw a rectangle or trapezium, how might I go about drawing bitmap data into that shape? I need to give a slight perspective to a loaded photo. Native 3D rotations seem to leave the bitmap really blurry, and a full 3D engine is too heavy for this project.

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).

I understand that the code below should work but it doesn't, I have to take the underline before self out, for the hyperlink to work at all, and then it creates another window for the file. There may some sort of glitch that I am not aware of. But the code below does not work as is in my app.
var t:TextField = new TextField();
t.htmlText = "hello world"+ "<a href='weeTestPage.html' target='_self'><u>click here</u></a>";
t.autoSize=TextFieldAutoSize.LEFT;
addChild(t);

I'm creating a quiz that has the user press a submit button.Everything was working perfectly until i tried to make the button look better by going in the clip and converting the rectangle to a movieclip.now the button looks great but says its calling a null reference.if i go in an break apart the mc on the first frame (up) then it works.why is it doing this? is putting a mc in a btn bad? is there a way around this.I really like the way by buttons look but dont know how to get the same effects without it being a movieclip.

Im running a movie clip from an AS class, and simply testing it using the addChild method in the FLA but all my code is in the external AS file. Inside this movieclip i have a my own custom Slider Component. I am using the drag and drop method and i want to constrain the image i am moving to a rectangle. I have drawn the rectangle (called rect) and i am using that MC to get the size and position propities. and my slider is called (slider_mc) anyway here is my code. I am getting the

I am trying to convert a rectangle(actually multiple rectangles) to a curved rectangle. I think it should be pretty easy but I guess i am stupid. Basically I would have a start position and stop position (many of these), and they would be converted to curved rectangles and follow in a cicrle around.

I would like to create a rectangle inside of a rectangle, starting approximately 15% inward from the right side of the other rectangle.
I know how to create rectangles with:
Code:
var newHotRect:MovieClip = new MovieClip();
newHotRect.graphics.beginFill(0x00FF00);
newHotRect.graphics.drawRect(0, 0, 100, 100);
addChild(newHotRect);
But how would I make another rectangle on top of that (the black one pictured) that is approximately 15% from the right?
I toyed around with .right, and .bottomright with no success. Can anyone lead me in the right direction? or even finding the x and y of the upper right or bottom right side of a rectangle?

how to respond when a rectangle hits another rectangle? I already know how to detect the collision, I just don't know how to respond to it. I'm just trying making a simple side-scrolling platform game where I have platforms I can walk on and bump against on all sides. I have searched everywhere and just can't find the tutorials I'm looking for.

which everything seems fine, but when i implement a slider on a page inside a folder in the root (i.e. aboutus/index.aspx) i get that error when the slider is trying to call the images.I have similar slider animations in pages located in the root folder and in those i get no problem at all, seems it only happens when the page is located inside a folder.The website is done using main.master on asp, maybe the cache or rendering of the website is missing something, hope someone has had something similar or know how to get around this.

This is the error I'm getting with my code and I believe it has to do with the sounds needed to be played back. Error #2044: Unhandled IOErrorEvent:. text=Error #2032: Stream Error. at workingg_fla::MainTimeline/stage_EnterFrame()
My code:
import flash.events.ActivityEvent; import flash.events.StatusEvent; import flash.media.Microphone; //line code belowvar container1:Sprite = new Sprite();var container2:Sprite = new Sprite();var container3:Sprite = new Sprite();var container4:Sprite = new Sprite();var container5:Sprite = new Sprite();//random coordinates for container1var corcon1x:Number = Math.round(Math.random()*600);var[code].......
What I need from this code is the following:
a. to pick up the mic activity level, read it, and based on the number put out a line
b. it to be kept to a minute, after the minute the screen is cleared and it plays back the lines and sounds that had been generated.
c. that nothing appears when the mic.activityLevel is 0
d.that when lines hit each other, a sound is made
I don't care if there is no playback, but right now I can't even get the lines to appear and I need the sounds to play when the lines hit each other.

Good guys do not espresei fine, next I have a gallery-shaped grid, when I click on one of the thumbs hold containing the thumbs up to widen the thumb be selected in proportion to the screen, the problem is that if I do that he usually gets caught, then did the following when you click unconsecrated thumb I create a bitmap with the dimensions and position of the holder, so I can make the scale until the ratio of the screen and not get caught, but there comes another bug if I click thumb that at some or the x or y is equal to 0 goes to my bitmap somewhere or walks out the screen

I'm making a system to upload photos to a gallery. I'm using filereference, and it's working alright. I can upload like 20 files fine sometimes.. but when I do like 50, it starts giving me errors on over half the files.
The error is: Error #2044: Unhandled IOErrorEvent:. text=Error #2038: File I/O Error.
This may be a php error, or server error, I'm not sure. Because the file isn't even uploading at all.
