ActionScript 3.0 :: Add A Bitmap Graphic To A Movieclip?
Dec 1, 2010
I'm trying to add a bitmap to a movie clip in code. However, I'm having trouble getting the bitmap location to go where I want it because it's inside the movieclip and it just shows up at 0,0 of the movieclip instead of the coordinates I want it to be: Here's some of code so you can see what I mean:
imageBitmapData3 = new Lander(63, 53);
_player = new Bitmap(imageBitmapData3);
_gameLevel.addChild(_player);_player.x = 145;_player.y = 90;
-Instead of showing up at 145, 90 It just shows up at the movieclip, _gamelevel, 0,0.
how I could get it to do what I want it to do? I want to add it inside the mc because I need everything to move with the _gameLevel background when I move it.

I have searched several threads, and no answer has been found to apply a bitmap smoothing to an image already inserted inside a movie clip on stage (not dynamically loaded). Any suggestions on what to do to apply smoothing to an image inside a clip? Trying to come up with an answer as I am getting a funny fuzz around a logo that I'd like to see disappear. It appears clean and crisp within the png file, but not in the compiled swf.
I am having a problem loading a bitmap/graphic into the place of a movie clip using AS 2.0 on Flash CS3.You see, I am uploading an image into a library, for example, Bitmap1.jpg, and I upload another image to turn into a movie clip, for example, Bitmap2.jpg turns into Symbol 1.I place Symbol 1 onto the screen and I've been trying code after code and I'm not sure how to load Bitmap1.jpg in the place of Symbol 1 using the 'if statement'. I've tried the 'load' functions, but since I've just bought CS3 and I don't have Flash 8, a lot of the functions have changed.Here's an example of my code:
Cut to the chase, I'm trying to load "Bitmap1.jpg" or my library name (Bitmap) into the place of Symbol 1 (my MovieClip) when Junior is equal to Stranger, using AS 2.0 on Flash CS3. This code doesn't work on CS3.
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.
I am building an RPG type game in flash and have hit upon my first problem.I have created a character out of various different body parts (upper arm, lower arm, hand, head, etc..) I would like to make it possible to change the look of each of these body parts (different types of armor / clothing) whilst maintaining the whole body animations.I'm becoming confused about how many things are inside each other! Rather than recreate a whole new set of animations for every conceivable combination of armor and clothing it should be possible to simply change one of the graphics within the movieclip that is the character.
So the structure I have thought of is like this:Whole body > Changeable graphic > Base Body Part (bare arm for instance)What is a sensible way to go about doing this? I'd like to have a solution that is easily scalable and won't require notably more work if there are 10 different types of changeable graphic or 1000.I think that I need use the event that triggers the armor / clothing to change for that body part, to run a script that either somehow changes which graphic it is displaying, possibly inside the Base Body Part movieclip.
im trying to add to a movieclip called "movimiento"a graphic property.[code]Is there a way to convert the movieclip to a graphic object, or other is there other alternative to control mc movimiento with the faceRectContainer variable?[code]
is there any way to add an overlay image dynamically over a MovieClip? Sort of like a watermark... except that I'm not trying to make a watermark.Let me explain: I'm trying to program a gallery of videos that will be loaded dynamically through XML. Each video will come with a JPG of the same size, which will be the poster frame for said video (and will also be loaded via XML). The user will see a scrollable horizontal strip of "videos" (actually the pictures), and when he clicks on one of them, the poster frame will disappear (_visible=false) and the FLV player underneath will start playing the chosen video.
So far so good. I load the pictures via XML and put each of them in a MovieClip. I distribute the MovieClips in an horizontal strip. I add to each of them an event handler so that they start playing the video when pressed. The only thing that I don't know how to do is: how do I add to each of the MovieClips a semitransparent "Play" button? They are generated dynamically, and I don't know how many of them (i.e. how many videos) will be there beforehand, so I can't simply add them in a layer on the Stage;
I have a blank movie clip that is loaded into my program 40 times. I have several different buttons that when clicked are supposed to change the graphic on these 40 objects to various different things. How do I code a button press to change the graphic in an object like that?
I have a movieclip, which I created with actionscript called canvas_mc, which is where the user can draw on and then export a jpeg. I would like to add a graphic (vector drawn in illustrator and brought into flash) into that canvas_mc as a graphics drawing..[code]...
I have a graphic sitting on my stage that I want to convert to a movieclip so I can change it's alpha with as3. If I change it from a graphic to a movieclip my swf stops working. I have a bunch of code which constructs a dynamic menu and it stops working when the graphic is changed to a movieclip. They aren't related in any way so why would this happen? As a graphic it doesn't have an intance name and nothing is happening to it. It's not animated or anything. It's just sitting on the stage.
the only thing I found in the documentation was loadBitMapdata and methods of that type. Not sure if that's what I want.
In particular, I have an existing movieclip that is linked in my library. It has a graphic, a timeline, etc. However, I want to dynamically change it to another graphic and timeline.
Do i have to create a new movie clip with the new graphic and timeline? But I still want to keep all the attributes of my original movieclip, I just want the new graphic and timeline.
the mouse_over state im doing tweens the alpha of a button to reveal more buttons underneath.The only problem with tweening the alpha of a MC is that I cant click on the buttons underneath, only a graphic. However, I cant figure a way of just using a graphic symbol instead of a movieclip.And I really dont feel like using more than one frame, that is accepting defeat in my oppinion. ha
I imported a swf created in After Effects to Flash CS3 to make it interactive. Flash broke the "swf" movie into a number of keyframes (apprx 65 keyframes) which when previewed, plays all the keyframes one by one. I want it to stop at first keyframe and have a button over there, which when clicked will let the next 30 keyframes run without stopping. Then stop at the 30th keyframe which will have another button to be clicked to proceed to the the next 34 keyframes without stop. I have been trying the stop(), and gotoAndPlay nextFrame, but it stops at the next frame. One more thing, do I need to convert all the imported keyframes to graphic or movieclip ?
I have an image gallery which loads a detail image, then draws a line next to the image on one side based on image dimensions. Clicking on the image returns one back to the main image thumbnail list, then clicking a thumb loads another image into detail holder. Everything works fine with it, except that the lines, rather than disappearing upon detail image unload, accumulate. Is there a way to clear the contents of the lineDrawing MovieClip without removing it from the stage, so that I can draw a new line in it? I've tried removeChild on the MovieClip, but then the lines disappear entirely, same with placing lineDrawing.clear() at the top of the setupDetail function.
var detailImage:Loader = new Loader(); var lineDrawing:MovieClip = new MovieClip(); setupDetail(); function setupDetail():void {
I am working on a project in which I am suppose to maintain an array of movieclips, and I can also convert the movieclips into bitmap data. so I would like to know which one is the best to use either maintaining movieclip array or bitmap data array .
I am wokring on a movie and I want to tile a movieclip instead of a bitmap in AS3. I have figured out masking and the bitmap tiling in AS3, but am still encountering trouble finding a good solution for simply tiling an MC symbol across a set width and height in AS3.
way to turn a movieclip with a complex shape into a bitmap so I can do a BitmapData.hitTestseeing what are the non transparent pixels colliding between two bitmaps?his is about a complex hitTest. (Yes I didnt finished yet )Im trying to make two movieips turn into two bitmaps so I can realize if theres a way tosee if one of the first bitmapīs non transparent pixel is colliding with the second bitmapīs non transparent pixel
I am having ongoing issue with using addChild(). Everything else works. The code below now loads all thirty five images and the addChild command is used directly on the Bitmap in initHandler in the ButtonClass.as excerpt below. Now I commented out the line that I was going to use to add these Bitmaps as children of the MovieClip in placeThumbnail function in the FLA. So I believe the only problem I have left is finding a way to get the Bitmaps to be children of the correct MC //This code excerpt is from ButtonClass.as
public function imgLoad(buttonMC:MovieClip) { imgLoader = new Loader(); imgLoader.contentLoaderInfo.addEventListener(Event.COMPLETE, finished_loading); imgLoader.contentLoaderInfo.addEventListener(Event.INIT, initHandler); var link=buttonMC.entry_thumbnail; [Code] .....
I am building a design your own jewelry, program for a jewelry company. what I want to do in theory is..
after the user finishes, convert the jewelry_mc into a Bitmap, send the bitmapdata byte array to PHP, then on the php side turn the Byte array back into an actual image and mail it in the confirmation page to the user.
I am sure im not the first to want to email an image dynamically created in flash before?
I'm loading bitmaps dynamically using AS3 and I'd like to fit/tile them within a movieclip. (like a texture but in 2D)
However, my movieclip is not rectangular and everything I tried resulted in the texture getting out of the boundaries of my movieclip and being displayed as a big rectangle.
I am trying to replace bitmap with movie clip. I got panorama viewer where bitmap is inserted, I would like to replace with MovieClip, this is the code in AS:
ActionScript Code: import panbox360.PanBox360Component; var panbox360:PanBox360Component = new PanBox360Component(stage.stageWidth, stage.stageHeight); panbox360.data = new Lake2(0,0);
[code]...
when i make movieclip using bitmap and make class from that movie clip with name Lake2, and press ctrl+enter I have 2 errors:
1. Scene 1, Layer 'Layer 1', Frame 2, Line 41136: Incorrect number of arguments. Expected 0.
2. Scene 1, Layer 'Layer 1', Frame 2, Line 41067: Implicit coercion of a value of type Lake2 to an unrelated type flash.display:BitmapData.
how can i replace this bitmap and use movieclip instead?
