I am trying to create irregular Mask from Bitmap (Who has Alpha) and then apply it to Sprite. Then register mouse hover on sprite. My mask should be made considering bitmap Alpha, I need irregular shape Mask. I read somewhere that I should set cacheAsBitmap = true for Mask, then it will consider Alpha, but I can`t get it to work.

The subject pretty much sums it up; I have a bunch of movieclips on the stage, that are already filled with a bitmap pattern in the IDE. Now I need to fill them with another pattern once they are clicked, and I can�t seem to figure out how to do it.This is the closest yet, but i just get a recangle with the new pattern behind my selected mc. I realize that the rectangle comes from the drawRect method (duh) but I cant seem to find something the will allow me to fill the entire movieclip with the new pattern.in District.as
Code:
public function doSelect(){
_selectPattern = new SelectPattern(0,0); //class from my library

maybe point me towards a better way to mask. png file is way too big. I have been using the mask layer option to create my own mask around a jpg image by drawing around it on the mask layer. There has to be a fetter and faster way to do this. Is it possible to maybe have a specific color range have an alpha value of 0. Similar to green screening whereas If I put the item I want to clip on a green background flash will auto take out the green for me. and by auto I mean action script maybe. I think this can be done but im not finding it.
how are these guys clipping these images [URL] they have the movie clips set up where the black background on the 3 layers of shoes is getting masked out. When I go into the shoe movie clips I see there is a black background but it just disappears when I go back to main timeline.
This work:
var a:BitmapData = new BitmapData(640,480);
var b:Bitmap = new Bitmap(a);
a.draw(movieClip);

How can I draw in my Bitmap just the visible part of a MovieClip that uses mask?
I'm trying to create a AS3 image loader with the possibility of a PNG (transparent) mask...
Tried and searched for hourse, but I won't get it right...
Coding something in pure AS3 (no timeline, etc...) and am hitting a snag with masking a bitmap. Am I missing something here?
[Code]...
End result is nothing shows up whenever I set the mask property. Without setting the mask I see my noisy rectangle just fine. Can anyone see why the mask doesn't seem to be working?
I have a Flash app that loads a PNG as a bitmap and adds it to a MovieClip instance called test_mc on the stage. test_mc contains a placeholder clip that we hide after adding the bitmap. E.g
test_mc.addChild(bmp);
test_mc.placeholder.visible=0;
This works fine. I then move the MovieClip around the stage in the timeline with a lot of keyframes. This works fine.
I then add a layer, called layer_mask, above the layer with the movieclip on. I create a shape on layer_mask and set layer_mask to mask the movieclip's layer. This still works fine. Now I add a keyframe in layer_mask. This stops working. The bmp is no longer loaded into the movieclip, and the placeholder is no longer hidden. The bitmap is actually loaded in and displayed correctly until the keyframe in the mask is hit, at which point it reverts to displaying the placeholder without the loaded bitmap.
Let´s say I have a bitmap with 3 colors: red, green and blue (not mixed)
What if I wanted to make a bitmap of the red part of the first bitmap?
I´d like to take the red pixels from first bitmap (and its positions), and make another bitmap.
I have been doing a search to find out how to create a simple mask using only AS3 but I am not having any luck. Would you be willing to to give me a quick example of how to create a mask with AS3?

I am trying to create a slideshow of pictures, but I want to get rid of the sharp edge that is a result of a mask. I would like the movement of the slideshow pictures to be smoother, that it smooths out when it gets closer to the edge of the mask.

View 3 RepliesI'm dabbling with 3D tweens but I've hit a snag. The tween works fine on it's own and also with a simple mask on it. My issue is when I add a second keyframe to the mask layer to create a different shaped mask. When it reaches that frame my 3d tween goes crazy and flies off.

(I'm using the free Flex SDK and compiling actionscript on the command-line) How can I create interface components around a Bitmap? I'd like to lay out my interface so that the Bitmap is in some sort of container, which interface components above and below it (and maybe to the side) Is it possible for a Bitmap to be the child of some Flex container? I haven't coded Flash since Flash 8. I'm not sure how to go about this at all. I thought maybe the Canvas container might work, but it throws a runtime error

I am loading a fairly large image file and want to create a bitmap of the loader content. I want to then use this Bitmap and resize it according to the current dimension of the stage. However, I also want to keep the loader content as "originally loaded" as a reference in case the stage is resized and the user wants to view this particular image again. The way my AS is written as of now, I am manipulating the loader content. How do I not do this? How do I "copy" the loader content so I can manipulate the bitmap copy while leaving the loader content unaltered?
<AS>
var lightboxImage:Bitmap = new Bitmap();
function resizeLightbox():void{
lightboxImage = myLoader.content;
lightboxImage.width = myLoader.content.width;
lightboxImage.height = myLoader.content.height;

I need to create a lot of custom Flex 4 skins, in most of the examples I found on the web people use FXG in order to create the skins but if a lot of the icons I use are not resizeable should I still use FXG or better use just plain old bitmap images (jpg. png)?
View 1 Repliescan you create arrays of Bitmap and Sprite Objects? or Custom Objects?
if not, how would you typically create multiple Objects of the same type? just a loop with
var enemy:Sprite = new Sprite();
for(var count:int=0; count<10; count++)
{
enemy = new Sprite();

That way could be fine for many things, but theres other things I want to do.. such as, create an array of wav sounds.... and my program could pick and choose them, so they wouldnt need to load them on demand.. midi files too.

View 1 RepliesRequirement: Create single very large bitmap data which contain some 30 PNG images loaded and for each image it should have some text. Images and text are loaded dynamically (AS2 code. Images are stored in a remote server). The bitmap data display should show 8 images at a time and corresponding text. We can see rest content by scrolling (kinetic scroll is implemented). How can I go for it?Some questions:Is there any limit for size of bitmap data ( As per link there is restriction on the height of the bitmap we can create in AS2 (max value is 2880 which is not enough for some 30 element list If we create individual bitmap data for 30 individual PNG files, we find some jerks in scroll. How can we have smooth scrolling?
