ActionScript 3.0 :: Using .getPixel() To Read Through A MovieClip?
Oct 15, 2009
I have two images, one overlayed exactly over the other. The image in front is what the user needs to see, but the user behind can be considered to be like a map with different fields of color on it representing different things.
What I am trying to do is that when the user mouses over the image, it reads (via .getPixel) the color info of the image behind which prompts certain messages to be displayed.
I am not having a problem with getting .getPixel() to work since when I just have the behind image (colored "map") showing, the color data for each pixel comes up as expected. But, when I overlay the top image, it shields the back image from being able to be "read" by my .getPixel function.
Is there a way to have a movieClip not "interfere" with movieClips that lay behind it in the stack?

I'm building an application where the user can upload a photo of their head, scale it and position it, and then pick a colour from the photo.The photo gets put into a movieclip called 'head'I'm stuck at the colour picker part and I just can't seem to work out the whole bitmapData thing. Here's my colour picker code -
ActionScript Code:
private function beginColourPick():void
{
_bmd = new BitmapData(head.width, head.height);
[code]...
This code kind of works, but not correctly.
Problem #1: The colour picker only works in the bottom right quarter of the image because I moved the head mc so the registration point is bang in the middle. So the problem here is that I can't figure out how to move the bitmapData in line with the head mc.
Problem #2: If the user scales the head mc (even a tiny bit) the colour picker stops working altogether. Now I'm thinking I've got to use a transform matrix - but I read up on it and haven't got anywhere.

I have a greyscale image and I want to scan the pixels out of the Image and this is what I get :
var i:int;
var j:int;
for (i = 0; i < img.contentWidth ; i++) {
for(j = 0; j < img.contentHeight; j++){
pixeldaten.addItem({x:i,y:j,pixel:bmd.getPixel(i,j)});
}}
But the table doesn't look like RGB Values . (R , B , and G must be the same).

So, I'm using the BitmapData class and getPixel to retrieve the colour of a pixel. It works fine and returns a number like "16706965". I'm not sure what kind of value this is? If I place a 'toString(16)' on the end of it, I get a HEX value, but sometimes it isnt 6 digits long, sometimes 5 sometimes 4, so I can't just convert it from HEX to RGB.
I can make this number into a string with 6 digits, but then it doesnt recognise when I try to convert it to RGB

I am having a few issues converting a MC to a bitmap. I have succeeded in loading a graphic from the library, loading that as a bitmap and I can use getPixel to get the color at a certain x,y point.BUT I have another part to the problem. I have a file upload where a user can upload an image and choose a color off that logo. So I have the logo uploading, then getting loaded into an MC on the stage and it all works honky dory.However, when I (thought) I was converting it to bitmap and then use getPixel, every part of it is just returning white.[code]But no matter what co-ordinates I put in, I always get white.

(1) read in a *.png image(2) when the user mouses over the movieclip that contains the image, an RGB value (in 0xFFFFFF format) of the pixel which the mouse is currently hovering over is displayed.Here is what I am doing to try and make it happen:(1) Using the loader class (imageLoader) to load a bitmap (*.png -- no alpha) into a movieclip.(2) Also taking the "imageLoader.conent" and placing it into a "grainImage:Bitmap" object.(3) Using a timer event to fire off data describing the where the mouse is at all times.function readPixelColor(te:TimerEvent):void { trace(grainImage.bitmapData.getPixel(mouseX, mouseY).toString(16));};How can one insert code in these Forums? I used to be able to do that... Oh well, the problem that is happening is that the value that is being returned by this function is off by 010101 (I believe, not certain how hexidecimal works).
Anyway, if the color is really "336699" (as confirmed in Photoshop) my function returns "326598". Which is "336699" minus "010101"why this may be doing this? Are my values "shifted" in some way since there is no alpha? Maybe there is some sillyness behind loading the image into a _mc and also placing the loader content into a bitmap object -- they are interfering with each other in some way?

I'm trying to create a color picker using getPixel. It works wonderfully as long as the image is loaded from a local drive. When I try loading it from the server (a subdirectory on the same server as the SWF), the loaded image doesn't get drawn when I use the draw command. It draws a white rectangle and when I use getPixel, I always get 0xFFFFFF. I also have system.Security.allowDomain("[URL]") in my script, but nothing works.

I am trying to loop through a bitmap and determine if each pixel is lighter or darker than gray using getPixel(). Problem is, I am not sure how to tell whether the value returned by getPixel() is darker or lighter than gray.
Neutral gray is about 0x808080 or R:127, G:127, B:127. How would I need to modify the code below to accurately determine this?

I'm writing an applicaton which acts based on different colour values of pixels in a png image created in Microsoft paint. However, when I load the image into a BitmapData object, and then parse through the pixels reading their values using getPixel() or getPixel32() (I've tried both) I seem to be getting values which are slightly inaccurate compared to what was saved. For example a pure white pixel which should be read as 0xFFFFFFFF often comes out as 0xFFFFFFFE. The behaviour of the program is dependent on the exact value of the pixel so these errors usually break it.
Sometimes the problem is intermittent so seems fixed but actually isn't. Is it to do with the PNG format? I thouht png was lossless so should deliver accurate pixel values at all times?

I've created a simple drag-and-drop dress-up game. The aim is that users will create a monster by dragging and dropping, and that an image of that monster will be sent to me, and I will create a toy that looks like the monster.
So once users are happy with the final look, and have filled in their details on the page, I would like them to be able to click a button that will send me the encoded jpeg of how the swf currently looks. I could then recreate the image using image magick or something similar, I guess?
I realise that this may require PHP, but as I have never used it before I thought that perhaps it may be possible to use getpixel to get an encoded text string of the stage and then send that to myself via "mailto"?

I'm working with a video in Flash where I am capturing each frame and testing the color of a single pixel. I'm using it to determine when a white/transparent background changes to be a color. The following AS2 code works flawlessly when I preview it in Flash and on my desktop in the browser (the direct SWF and placed inside HTML using SWFObject) but as soon as I upload it to my server it fails and produces "FFFFFF" continuously regardless.
this.onEnterFrame = function()[code]..........
There is no difference in the files; they are both pulling from the same video source (hosted on an Flash FLV server).The only difference is one set of files is hosted on my local computer and the other is hosted on my web server.

The task I'm gonna perform should be pretty simple: Inside an object I've created ,which extends MoviClip, I pickup a movieclip that stands on main timeline (root) with the getChildByName() method. Once I picked up the Movieclip I would like to read the width of the movieclip and here comes the problem. The movieclip is composed by two level: A mask level (169px width) and another level with an image of 331px width. When I attempt to get the width of the movieclip it returns the unmasked movieclip width (331px) instead of the maksed size(169px). I also tried with the getBounds() method but it returns the same value.
The movieclip is masked within flash (not through actionscript). A possible solution would be giving a name to the mask inside the movieclip and then perform another getChildByName and read the size of the mask, but this wouldn't be a very clear solution (also because I will have to deploy this to another people not very familiary to flash , so they might forgot to properly name the mask and all this kind of program. The best solution would remain automatically detecte the masked width of the movieclip).
I would like to understand why flash consider the whole Movieclip content width disregard the applied mask.

I had a problem associating with the movieClips (not swf) in the library. I dragged and put all these movieclips on the stage. As u could see from my attached file, all the actionscripts are written inside the movieclips itself individually and none on the stage. The actionscript written in the movieclip is actually to load my CSS file so that the movieclip can change with the css. However, when I first run the fla file as swf, the movieclip appeared initially without css (color change), but after a few sec, the css appeared, which resulted in the "jerky" action.

I'm wiriting some code to read certain properties of a keyframed movieclip animation. The idea is that an animater will create an animation, the code will record the animation as it plays, then the numberd that have been saved can be used later. x, y, rotation, xScale and yScale all did swimmingly well. skewX and skewY come out as undefined, on every frame. They're both used in the movie (typically around 4 - 8 degrees). They're never the same as each other.

I used a movieClip to store the attach movieclip, but How to get back the variable from that movieClip container, such as a I set a array in the exiting movieClip
var m_click:Array = new Array();
for (var f=0; f<=this[mc_name+"_qty"]._totalframes-1; f++)
{ m_click[f] = 0; }
I want the attached movieClip "y_qty" with a button inside to get the m_click for changing each m_click[0]..m_click[1]..value, how to do it?

A friend of mine has a Flash Action script running on a LAMP server that currently reads an xml config file. He's asked me if it's possible to remove the xml file, and replace it somehow with a system (lets call it an 'auto xml generator') that intercepts the request to read that file and generates an output, so it appears to all intents and purposes as if the file still exists and contains the contents that has actually been returned from our auto xml generator'
