I need a Card flip animation.I have a vector "Spade A" in a moviclip named mc.For the flip animation i want to apply "rotationY". When i apply mc.rotationY=45, It automatically converth the vector into Bitmap.i tryed mc.cacheAsBitmap=false;But still it converted to Bitmap.I need the rotationY as well as the card remain Vector.
View 5 RepliesI'm going to create a iOS app in flash and convert. I'm thinking I may want to load graphic assets at runtime. I'd like these assets to be vector graphics so they can be resized easily with no quality degradation. I usually use SWF files ofr this purpose. Unless I'm wrong, a converted iOS app probably does not load SWF files. So I'm wondering what kind of vector graphics file format can iOS load at runtime?

import flash.display.Bitmap;
import flash.display.BitmapData;

the problem is when i make the string longer - there are characters missing in the Bitmap - ive used the TestFormat to no avail
Why would bitmap outperform vector?My Flash is for a large Kiosk, with rich media requirements and must function accurately as a counter. I want to keep everything vector for scalability. When I did a simple FPS test, I noticed my Bitmap version performed perfectly, and the all vector file was noticeably slower.
- only text and bitmap perform well, not vector
- background and clouds OK, but more layers slow it down
We have some very complex animations that, for performance reasons, we want to have them be bitmaps at runtime..
For example, maybe i can write a jsfl script to copy each frame and paste it into a new .fla as a png instead of as vector art, but I haven't explored that option much.
Let's say I have a 100x100 Sprite() and draw vector art into it with the drawing API. I happen to draw outside the 100x100 dimensions, but the vector art will display anyway. But what if I don't want it to be displayed outside of those dimensions?I know I can mask it and the problem is solved, but I was wondering if there was a way to convert the Sprite() to a bitmap() with bitmapData() where I could copy the 100x100 area from the Sprite to the bitmap. I was wondering if this would be easier on the CPU than masking.I've already tried cacheAsBitmap because I'm using it anyway to speed processing up, but as I figured, it doesn't allow you to treat the Sprite() as a bitmap.Just trying to bridge the gap between vector art and bitmap.
View 1 RepliesI am attempting to adapt a face detection application for a project I am working on. It works great, and displays a sprite of a vector square where it detects a face. The problem I am having is that I would like to place a bitmap image (from a source file) instead of a vector square. Here is the snippet containing the drawing of the vector:
Actionscript Code:
/*** Creates a rectangle*/
private function _createRect() : Sprite {
var rectContainer : Sprite = new Sprite();
rectContainer.graphics.lineStyle( 20 , __rectColor , 1 );
rectContainer.graphics.beginFill(0x000000,0);
rectContainer.graphics.drawRect(0, 0, 100, 100);
return rectContainer;
}
I'm pretty sure that this is the only part that needs altering in order to swap the square with a bitmap though.
I have one class called Person that extends a Sprite. First i have a bitmap that i add to the sprite class: This bitmap is a transparent PNG. addChild(_imageBitmap); then i did some drawing in Flash that has the shape of this person and extended this to the SimpleButton. This way, only the edge or the inner shape is clickable. then i add this shape to this Person class too.

I am currently being confused by the Vector class.I wrote a beautiful XML to TypedClass parser. Works beautifully and without fault. UNTIL a co-worker noticed we got a Conversion Error for Vector.<Number> to Vector.<*>.
Every Vector I've ever tested all extend Vector.<*>.
Vector.<Sprite>, Vector.<String>, Vector.<Point>, Vector.<Boolean>, Vector.<TextField>, Vector.<CustomObject>, etc etc etc. ALL of them.
<type name="__AS3__.vec::Vector.<String>" base="__AS3__.vec::Vector.<*>" isDynamic="true" isFinal="false" isStatic="false">
<extendsClass type="__AS3__.vec::Vector.<*>"/>
[code]...
But then when I use describeType on Vector.<Number>, Vector.<uint> and Vector.<int>.
<type name="__AS3__.vec::Vector.<Number>" base="Object" isDynamic="true" isFinal="true" isStatic="false">
<extendsClass type="Object"/>
<constructor>
[code]....
Now I have accounted for these 3 vectors individually as even uint and int does not extend Vector.<Number> as I would have expected.
And my parsing function works for all types correctly again. But my confusion comes as to WHY this is the case, and why I couldn't find any documentation on the subject.
Found an old file and tried to publish it in f7 - as you expected it wouldn't work checked for case sensitivity and all i suppose it's the 'with' line in the code [code]...

I am trying to build a menu. I have created few texts and converted into buttons, which goto some url on click. Now, I have to add "fire burning" animation to these texts on mouseover. I have a movie clip of burning fire. I want to reuse the same movie clip. Also, when the animation plays, I want text to be visible on top of flames.
Can I reuse one mc or should I create multiple clips (or instances)? How to bring the text to foreground? Guidelines and if possible,
We are using Mike Davidson's SIFR implementation and so far so great, however we have noticed that it converts any white space into %20's, unfortunately that breaks any % signs we have in our product descriptions.
View 1 RepliesThere's a ActionScript class which dynamically creates basic UI element.So I create RadioButton as

I have the problem that a video I imported in Flash is visible on my pc but not on any other. I converted the video into the flv format and dragged it onto the scene. So far so good. I created a folder which includes the main swf as well as the video in the flv format. Since this is a University project, I sent this folder to a professor and he could not see the video. I've tried it on any other pc - wouldn't work either.
View 3 RepliesHi everyone, this is my first posting and I need some help on the getURL command. I typed in some text and converted into a button and on the action script I used "on (release) { getURL("http://www.site", "_blank"); }. When I publish it, no errors were stated. Everything work fine but when I clicked on the button to go to the website, it just pop out the browser and the last page that I was looking at. Another word when I clicked the button with the getURL AS, it just open up the browser and didn't go to the link specified in AS.
View 1 RepliesIt's extremely problematic when you're trying to design something. It plays fine when tested, but you cant see anything that's converted to a graphic, button, or movie clip. I tried uninstalling and reinstalling, rebooting, etc.
Also, I got an error message about the classic view not loading correctly, and everything's been goofy since. I still can't edit anything in classic view.
All I'm trying to do is move one graphic (converted to symbol) from one side to another. However, when I try to put in the 'motion tween' it keeps saying "Multiple objects are selected, you must convert them to a symbol in order to tween them. Do you want to convert them and create a tween?" If I click 'Ok' it comes up with "The tween could not be applied to some of the selected frames. This could be due to the frame containing ActionScript, Multiple objects, non-tweenable objects or being on a layer that cannot be a tween layer"
