i'm trying to make a photo gallery but when i try to scale them, i get this distortions in the thumbs. i try to find how to fix this problem, searching in google, i found that i have to convert them to bitmap, but i can't make it work.

I was working with the XML Photo Gallery Thumbnail Tutorial on this site: http:[url]....
And I modified it for my own usage, making it a vertical gallery instead, and had no problems until I came upon the thumbnail images. When I replaced the original thumbs with my new thumbs (that I sized based on width, as it is a vertical gallery) it got all screwed up. The images are of all different shapes. So when it loads up, some of them had huge gaps in between them, and others were even overlapping. So I fixed it by making the heights of all the images the same, resulting in a working thumb gallery, but now half my thumbs are cropped off by the mask. I'm looking for a way to fix it where I still have the same spacing between the images, and that they are all the same width, but can vary in their height. Here's the section of the code I am using:
function thumbNailScroller() {
// thumbnail code!
this.createEmptyMovieClip("tscroller", 1000);[code]....
I'm also trouble figuring something out from the same tutorial, that I want to change. The tutorial uses these "Next" and "Previous" buttons. On the far right hand side, the half-circle buttons are what I assigned this to, but I don't really want them to have that function. I would rather have them function just like how the mouse functions when it rolls over the thumb gallery, except they scroll the thumbs up and down when clicked.
I have one row of text in a textField with specified height and width.When I set antiAliasType = "advanced"; the top of the text line is cut off. It doesn't matter what I set the height and width of the text field to. How can I solve this problem?
View 3 Repliesit is more or less like this: i have some things drawn into a container sprite; those things may include text and other stuff. then i create a bitmapdata and i render all that stuff into the bitmapdata, so when rendering it does not slow down too much, and i put that bitmapdata into a bitmap, and that bitmap into another sprite (this is because i pass it as parameter to a function set to receive a sprite, not a visual object). when i rotate the sprite that contains the bitmap, the picture looks kinda blocky, and the text appears very ugly, specially when there is rotation, even if there is no angle yet (probably due to rounding it may take as different than zero), the text appears with some lines that crosses it,probably due to rounding problems. i saw there was an option to smooth the bitmap when scaling though i have not read too much into it yet, i have also thought about adding a blur filter if rotation != 0, but i believe it would be making a mess out of it. It is working fine now, but it looks ugly when rotating, how do i set up a sprite so it antialiases when rotating?
View 1 RepliesI'm looking for a good way to antialias a bitmap i'm generating with actionscript3. My goal would be to achieve this processing from scratch.I read a lot on the subject but the most common algorithm are looking too loud (means it's freaky cpu-intensive) to work properly within my swf, because i'm using a scale2x algorithm to smooth the edges of my shape. It doesn't have to be colorfull, since my shape is black and white !
View 2 RepliesI'd like to display antialiased text on a component (in this case, a FB4 Spark Label, but that's irrelevant).
Am I reading the docs correctly, and the only way to antialias the text in Flash Builder 4 is to actually embed the whole damn font, even though it's vanilla Arial which 99.9% of all users have???
As far as I know, smoothing of loaded swf file is not possible?To make loaded bitmap smooth/antialias I use:
ActionScript Code:
_bmp = _adImage.content as Bitmap;
_bitmapNew = new Bitmap(_bmp.bitmapData, "auto", true);
_image.unit.addChild(_bitmapNew);
That of course, works fine.But is there a way to the the similar for loaded swf file?
is there a peice of actionscript which will control the smoothness or antialias of the text? we have:
Text = "page name";
letters = Text.split("");
letterformat = new TextFormat();[code]....
is theree a line of actionscript that i can add in to make the text readable?
I am using embedded fonts in combination with antiAliasType ADVANCED which gives good results for smaller fontsizes.But if the textField contains a lot of text (> 20000 characters) then parts of the text is simply NOT shown. I have experimented with different values of the sharpness, but without results.
View 7 RepliesI've search through all the threads with "scaling" and "resizing" and can't find the solution.
Basically I have a GUI element on a gallery that I don't want to scale, while the rest of the page is free to resize/scale.
I think I need to add a listener of some sort to the stage, but I'm not sure how to do this.
I'm building some navigation that extends all the way from left to right across my SWF. When the window resizes, I'd like the nav buttons to get wider but not have the text on the buttons get wider.
The buttons themselves are rectangles with a vertical gradient and a stroke around the outside. I'm using 9-slice scaling so the stroke doesn't scale, but the middle (gradient) gets wider or narrower.What'd be great is to be able to select an object or layer and say "don't scale, even if the rest of this movie clip scales". Is there a way to do that, or will I have to do it via actionscript?
i have a diagonal movieclip that I am trying to scale along with the background video. The background video scales perfect, I am attaching the diagonal movieclip (br in the code as bottomright) with addChild
Instead of scaling with the window, it seems to repeat such as the image is displaying. this is the main section of the code that is doing the scaling
var br:mc_bottomright = new mc_bottomright();
addChild(br);
//proportional scale
if ((stage.stageWidth / stage.stageHeight)> (owidth/oheight))

I am trying to achieve an effect of scaling a movie clip on click...very similar to [URL] When the user clicks on See, Hear, Play and Shop boxes, the boxes expand. I have created a box movieclip that has a bar on top. This bar is a movie clip inside the box movieclip. When i try to scale the main box movieclip, the internal bar movie clip scales as well. How to stop this?

View 3 Repliesreally sorry to bring this one up again. I've managed to create quite good working gallery. What I'm trying to now is create a menu that is attached to the scaling part but does not scale it self - in other words just changes position. here's an example of what I mean: galleru #1

I am attempting to run the XML Photo Gallery with Thumbnails from the tutorial, but contained within an empty movie clip of another swf. I've been trying to rebuild my website in Flash and I was attempting to utilize this external gallery to keep the file size down. The Test Movie of the thumbnail_initial.swf works perfectly on its own, but the thumbnails no longer scroll when I test the website.swf that I have loaded thumbnail_initial into. I created an empty movie clip (analog_mc) and placed it where I want the gallery to load. On the page containing analog_mc (timeline path is Scene1 / siteContent / analogFrame), I have tried both of the following code in the actions layer:
analog_mc.loadMovie("thumbnail_initial.swf");
and
loadMovie("thumbnail_initial.swf", analog_mc);
I get the same result with either: the gallery loads correctly where I've placed the analog_mc empty movie clip, the first three thumbs appear across the bottom, the Previous and Next buttons function, but the thumbnails do not scroll. I am using Flash CS3 on Vista, my AS skills are elementary as well as my XML.
I'm trying to make a code to load my thumbs 1 by 1. It should start to load the next thumb, once it's ready with the previous one.
I'm reading my thumbs out of an xml. It seems like it's placing them randomly.
Code:
var numPics = galleryList.length;
function placeThumbs() {
var i = 0;

View 5 RepliesI have a master movie clip with a movie clip embedded. This is to create a photo gallery. With in the master movie clip I have "buttons" or thumb nails of pictures to be displayed from the embedded movie clip (which are the pictures). I can't seem to get the thumbs to call on the frames where I want the movie motion tween to start to show a picture (the tween is to give the effect of fading in). Below is the code that I have (note that for the same buttons I have added some effect when the mouse rolls over and out of the thumb so disregard that part of the code)..
ActionScript Code:
thumb1.addEventListener(MouseEvent.MOUSE_OVER,img1Over);
thumb1.addEventListener(MouseEvent.MOUSE_OUT,img1Out);[code]............
