ActionScript 3.0 :: Control The Bitmap Smoothing Levels?
Jan 1, 2011Can I control bitmap smoothing levels, or is it strictly on and off (true, false)?

View 1 Repliesi have made a bitmap over a menu and the only problem is that I made a scale and a rotation over that bitmap and it gets distort and I don't know why, because I use this:
ActionScript Code:
attachBitmap(b, 2, "always", true);
when i attach the bitmap.
I'm doing a simple bkend admin using php for the client to upload images to be displayed on their flash website. ideally if they upload at the correct size, no problem, but sometimes they don't. So my problem comes in when the uploaded images are very big. When they are scaled down, the smoothing makes no difference at all.
I was wondering if there is a work around?
Code:
import flash.display.*;
loadMcListener.onLoadinit = function(){
var bitmap = new BitmapData(mc._width,mc._height,true,0x000000);

I would like to use the smoothing function for my code here below.This is just a slideshow gallery that resize the photos at 100% full page with scaling proportions.=
2 - Another problem issue: this has a little movement effect that moves the photo when the mouse moves. To do this i scaled the images at 110% but it looks a bit streched here.

Trying to set the smoothing of a dynamically loaded, through XML, JPEG set to true using AS2. I've seen an example of that would do this with this code:
createEmptyMovieClip("myMC",getNextHighestDepth()) ;
loadBitmapSmoothed("mypic.jpg",myMC);
In my code I'm loading a series of products from an XML file. Each bit of information for each product gets loaded into a seprate array. I have a 'zoomy box' image, which loads an image, but at 200%, which I want to smooth...
The code:
nZoompic1[i] = (childs.childNodes[EEE].childNodes[i].childNodes[18].firstChild.nodeValue);
What the syntax would be for getting it to work?
I'm using the regular 3D API of flash player 10 and i'm rotating on the Y axis a sprite which contains my bitmap. Although the bitmap.smoothing property is set to true, the bitmap is far from smooth.
View 8 RepliesI'm creating an aerial view style game with the flash player 10 built in 3D, but Some of my sprites are very small, like 32x32 pixels, and when they are placed into the 3D world they become very blurry.
Is there a way to prevent flash player from smoothing the objects?
I need fullscreen gallery and the bitmap smoothing thing. I tried to combine the gallery code and the bitmap code I found in this thread. Well, it's a xml based fullscreen gallery and it works fine but without smoothing . okay, i hope anybody can help - here is an extract of the gallery code:

I set up this sample movie clip in the hopes to figure out a problem I'm having:[code]In the above code, I can add the contents of myImageLoader to myMovieClip with no issues and it resizes as expected (and consequently artifacts appear). With the final two lines of code, apparently myBitmap is not being loaded with the contents of myImageLoader.content which will cause the final line to fail with the following error:Code:TypeError: Error #1009: Cannot access a property or method of a null object reference.at loadImageTest_fla::Main Timeline/frame1()I understand the error, I just don't get why the contents are not being loaded into the bitmap object.
View 1 RepliesI'm having a helluva time trying to figure out the syntax for smoothing of dynamically loaded png's. It's such an easy function for as3, but seems very complicated in as2.

What I am doing now is loading a .png image with a Loader object. After loading the file I cast the loaderInfo's content to a bitmap and set the smoothing value to true. This works without a problem until I reach a ScaleX and ScaleY value less than 0.5.
For example, if I have a 1000x1000 object, scaling it down to 200x200 causes the bitmap smoothing to no longer work.[code]...
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.

For example, if I have a 1000x1000 object, scaling it down to 200x200 causes the bitmap smoothing to no longer work.I can reproduce the problem using all of the following Sizing methods:
Change the scaleX and scaleY properties on the bitmap. Directly change the height and width properties of the bitmap. Add the bitmap as a child of another sprite and change the scaleX and scaleY properties of the sprite. Add the bitmap as a child of another sprite and change the height and width properties of the sprite. Creating a new BitmapData object with a matrix scale and then drawing the original BitmapData onto it.I've also tried some other workarounds that I found when searching, such as:setting the scaleX of the image to 1.001 or 0.999 forcing the height and width of the Bitmap object to be even numbers.
Below is some sample code for reproducing the problem. (I am running this locally so I have a copy of testimage.png in my bin-debug folder)
public class MainObj
{
public var comp:UIComponent;
public function MainObj()

i have a question and a unfortunate problem to report. First my question is how do I apply smoothing to a rotating bitmap asset that is in the flash timeline, (i.e.: not dynamically loaded), I don't like it all jaggy like that. Is there a way I can apply bitmap smoothing to a movieclip with a bitmap in it without going through all the rigamarole of loading the asset eternally? Bonus points for something super simple like MovieClip.forceSmoothing (I need this in AS3).
And unfortunate issue: I have a problem in Papervision. I think it might be a bug, where a plane object with an externally loaded BitmapAssetMaterial makes the computer chug like mad when the plane is viewed edge on or very close to edge on (I am using transparent PNGs). They display fine otherwise.

Is there a way to apply levels to a bitmap like in photoshop?
basically I want to make an image only black and white (I do not mean grayscale I mean only black and white).
In Photoshop there is a tool that lets you adjust the levels of an image. I'd like to be able to do the same thing. I've seen examples online that show the levels but they are for each individual color channel (red, green, blue or alpha or CMYK) but not a combined view like in Photoshop Input Levels (see below).Also, as a bonus is there a way to find the best shadow and highlight input level settings, basically the settings the Auto level button determines?Update:I think I'm closer but I'm not sure. Here is the method I pieced together. The first image is my results and the second is Photoshop results both analyzing the Google logo:Update 2:Ok I think I got it. The code is below. It's mostly working all the time, mostly. Additional credits:Photoshops results:
Levels method:
/**
* Get a histogram of the grayscale levels

I am getting frustrated, because I am unable to tell a range of levels to do something with this actionscript [code]...
View 2 RepliesI want to control elements and movie clips from deep within an another movie clip
for example I have a button inside of a movie clip � So
_root > Symbol 1 > Symbol 2 ( Symbol 2 is the button )
Now I have another MC on the main stage that has an animated MC in it.
So
_root > Symbol 3 > Symbol 4 ( Symbol 4 is the animated item )
So now lets say I want to be able to click ( or rollover ) on the button ( Symbol 2 ) for the animation to go to a specific frame and play
I have this all the time where I am struggling to control stuff deep within from other stuff deep within an MC.
I'm making a slider which will eventually control the alpha levels of a movieclip of mine but I'm having trouble controlling the parameters in the startDrag() function. Here is the code:
[Code]...
This seems to work ok, however, the problem is encountered when I go to drag the MC...for some unknown reason it ventures off its slider bar and goes to the left. I will attach the .fla.
I believe that my question here is a little hard, or maybe impossible. But here it goes:
How can I, in Flash, get the levels of volume (peak levels) of multiple sound frequencys from an audio file, so that flash would recognize them?
I need to create an Image control from a Bitmap because I have an ItemRedender to use in a List control.
I'm trying to show a list of images (Bitmaps) in a List control and I couldn't by now.
Zoom in on the snowboard and drag it around, it appears the low-res image is updated with hi-res patches on the fly. Is this a function tied to the bitmap object... or did they write some fancy code to pull in and assemble a sliced up image, and then replace the low-res slices on the fly. [URL].
View 1 RepliesI'm cutting my teeth in actionscript 3 on a game that has a character running through a world. So, I have set up my Hit Testing by using the bitmap data hit test method, since I figured my world is going to be destructible - it'd be nice to update the level and then redraw it and have the character interact with the new change. (That works beautifully) I am however; a bit confused as to how I have my hit Testing set up. I've been messing around with it, and it works for now - but I'm not sure why.. currently, I have a character set up by using a class I built and using a series of animations I created. So, this character has a walking and falling animation, etc. This is a movie clip.
Then there's a bitmap 'emptyBitmap' with bitmap data created - however; I never really added this as a child to the character. This is sized to the dimensions of my character. My level is created as a movielip, then it's drawn to a bitmap - when the level movieclip is changed, the bitmap redraws, and that's how this updates.

I know the topic of "duplicating" movieclips is a hot issue with the new virtual machine. Luckily, I understand the implications. I only am [currently] interested in duplicating a Bitmap. See, I load an image from an URL using 'flash.display.Loader.load', which is a non-blocking operation in Flash Player.However,I may use multiple copies of the loaded image (which is reported to be a Bitmap, naturally) in the display list at the same time.Hence, I naturally do not want to load the image from an URL every time, because I don't want to wait for a non-blocking call to complete. Nor do I need to - I mean one copy is already loaded, so it should be possible to just "duplicate" it, right?
My idea is to do use the bitmapData property of a Bitmap and pass it to the constructor of a new Bitmap object. I have not tried the following in action, but I want to hear whether any of you did and if the following would not work, what would:
Code:
var original_bitmap: Bitmap;
var copy_of_original_bitmap: Bitmap = new Bitmap(original_bitmap.bitmapData);
LiveDocs mention that the BitmapData being passed to a Bitmap constructor is "being referenced", which to me might suggest it cannot be used twice? There is also the BitmapData::clone() method, which I am not sure is applicable here or not.I know this is a lot of talk instead of just trying this out, but I test so much Flash Player code daily just to see "what works" (which should be documented instead by Adobe),
If I have a BitmapData that's already been drawn onto a Sprite. Is there a way to redraw the BitmapData onto a Sprites Graphics object without having to invoke beginBitmapFill and passing in the same BitmapData?
View 1 RepliesI'm working on a game, and to keep performance good, instead of addChild'ing 50 new sprites to the stage every second, I decided to have each player draw to their own bitmap, and then to the 'master' bitmap. This introduces an issue though: the second player would override all data the first player has put into to bitmap...My basic debugging proof of concept:
Code:
// bitmap test

I have a bitmap which has several frames (packed along the horizontal axis). In order to render them I copy it to the backbuffer (larger bitmap) as follows:

In pure AS3, I have a pixelbender and a large bitmap. The pixelbender is configurable with a distance parameter to affect only a small area of the bitmap. The problem is that the pixelbender is executing over the whole bitmap. What would be the best way to update only the effected region of the bitmap? Given this config:

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).
View 2 RepliesIn AS3, I am loading a png from a zip file (nochump's zip library through ByteArray to Loader). The png can be up to 45k pixels wide but only 120 tall. This creates a problem in flash, as images can only be ~8000 pixels wide. A possible solution would be to split the images into 6 columns somehow. This would probably need to be done in the ByteArray state, because the limitation is in Bitmap and Loader.
