ActionScript 3.0 :: Exporting Content Of Bitmapdata Or Movie Symbol To Image File?
Sep 28, 2009
I have an AS3 application where I used the bitmapdata with its copypixels to create a cropping effect on the imported image file (JPEG etc), now I am in need for exporting the resulting cropped data to image file suhc as JPEG, TIFF or any other format. I am actually transferring the content of bitmapdata containing the cropped image into movie MovieClip object therefore, exporting from movieclip containing the image data is another option.
I'm unable to export an animated symbol to image sequence properly because the symbol does not animate.I created the tweens in multiple layers, then cut-pasted all layers to a new symbol.I did this so I could then just do some tween motions on the symbol.The tweening is perfect, but when I export the image sequence, the images do not animate the way it does on the Flash player.All I get is an image sequence with the tweened symbol, but the symbol itself does not animate.how to get the symbol to animate when exporting the image sequence.
Alternatively, is there a way to motion-tween multiple layers simoultaneously? (Layers which are themselves tweened)Any additional info, I'll be checking regularly so I can provide as much description as possible to get this to work.
I need to export an animation from flash as a PNG sequence. I'd like the exported PNGs to be as small as possible so I'm checking off minimum image area instead of full doc size. But this had no effect it still uses the full doc size. I can export a single image and it works then. I deleted anything that could be altering the size. I even tried it with a simple scene with just a box and it still uses the doc size. I can scale down the doc, but that is very time consuming and won't allow for easy iteration so that's not an option. Is this a bug, does it just not work?
Im doing this game as final project for graduation and I want all imagery available and dynamicly loadable from a directory without a need to have it all imported into a library.
So is there a way to load external image and convert it to BitmapData or get its content at pixel level?
[edit]Cause I dont see any. If I load it with loadMovie, it becomes content of a MC and I dont know af any functionality to work with a MC as with a bitmap and any other loading method is not know to me too.[/edit]
I'm making a game in flash, and I want to have a whole bunch of different rooms that I can make and delete with code. Ordinarily I'd just use something like:
var room:Sprite = new room1(); game.main.addChild(room);
but I'd have to export every room for actionscript. Is there a way to get them made just being symbols? If nothing else, I could layer all the rooms on top of each other in one symbol and set all but one invisible, but I'd prefer doing it this way with getDefinitionByName().
I'm trying to get an external image in a movie clip symbol when the movie is opened and I'm having no joy. I can get it to work with a mouse over event...
on (rollOver) { rootObject.activeMouse = true; mcImage.loadMovie( "image1.jpg" ); }
However, I need it to load without pressing / rolling over anything.
I was wondering if anyone know how I could output content from Joomla as XML which I can then use in Flash? I would like to be able to use Joomla as the backend CMS and a Flash frontend which pulls and article's content from the CMS and outputs it as XML. Something like this: [URL]
I'm trying to find out how to instantiate a BitmapData symbol from my library, without manually coding in the height and width parameters.I have a bitmap in my library called myBitmap. To use it in a Flash file I have to "Export for Actionscript" under the class BitmapData. However, BitmapData's constructor needs the width and height parameters! Is there a way to avoid hardcoding values in like this:
Actionscript Code:
var theBitmap:Bitmap = new Bitmap(new myBitmap(19, 27));
Is there a feature in Flash that allows you to export content into Word. I know that Captivate has this feature, but was unaware that Flash did until someone mentioned it recently.
I animated eyes blinking inside of a movie clip symbol and placed the symbol on a face outside of the symbol.The eyes are stuck on the first frame. I am using CS5. What do I do?
I have BitmapData (in short 'bmp') which I use to compare pixels between two, same pictures. When I find my thing, then I load next picture into BitmapData and compare again but here is my problem. Loading picture into bmp only works when I click button which lead to function like that:
Quote:
private function dodaj():void{ bmp = new BitmapData(imedz2.width,imedz2.height); bmp.draw(imedz2) }
[Code].....
doesn't load image. Only thing that works is to use Spark Image component (with already specified source to file) and get picture from it.
I am trying to make a flash file that has wmode=transparent that takes up 100% width and height of the browser. I need to take a copy of the contents underneath the flash (the HTML page its floated over) and use that BitmapData to manipulate the content visually.
So as to make things less confusing (I had a lot of different layers), I made each scene in my animation in its own file. Now I want to put them in the same file, so I thought I could make everything in one file into a movie clip and put it into another file that way.
However, it doesn't seem to work! I can highlight everything, convert it, and paste it into the other file... but when I paste it, it only pastes the first frame of my highlighted selection! How can I convert the whole thing into a movie clip instead of just one frame?
hi guys, i got this image i scaled down by .5. The user is then allowed to add objects to the image such as flowers that are sprites in the library. So basically, a jpeg that is 800 x 800 is down to 400 x 400 on the stage and the user is able to add objects to overlay the image.
i want to save the image with the flowers and objects back to its 800 x 800, how do i redraw this image using bitmapdata properly?
I am having an issue with compiling a .swf. I get the following error on what seems to be related to the images. There is about 40 that are all very similar the the error code listed below:
5000: The class 'com.decalmywall.Emb_EMB_BORDER' must subclass 'flash.display.BitmapData' since it is linked to a library symbol of that type.
i am creating a very simple particle system. My only issue is trying to create a blurry trail effect on the particles in motion. I started by creating a large bitmap container, and applying a colormatrix filter and a blur filter . It seems to do the trick , but the issue now, is i have to make this container cover the stage, which has a two unwanted a effects:
-it's slower
-it covers all the content beneath. Perhaps my approach to creating trails is wrong?
i can post the whole class, but before i litter this post with long lines of code, is there a way to place a bitmapdata drawing over content and still get the desired effect. NOTE, if make transparency false in the bmdata, i loose the effect
I'm trying to export a mov at 60 fps. The trouble is I'm getting weird stuff happening in my exported movies, when I bring one into After Effects it thinks it is 62.5 fps. And the first 10 or so frames of the mov will be of the same image as if frozen.
I'm bringing the mov into After Effects because ultimately I'd like to have an image sequence, but I can't export an image sequence from Flash because it won't recognise the animations inside of my movieclips, so each frame renders out the same.Is there a way to export an image sequence from Flash and have it include the multiple timeline animations inside Movieclips?
Could somebody give a hand with this? I am trying to export a flash image to jpeg. I can do it but the image is cropped when I open it in photoshop. This is the original image (is is an screenshot and not exported with flash): And this is the image exported with flash (as you can see it is cropped on the right): [URL] Why is the second image cropped?
Anyway, I have an animation I made in flash, and when I go to File>Export>Export Image, it doesn't export with the text. Also, depending on the image type I'm trying to save as, it will randomly save an image of different point in the animation than that which I have the playhead on.
I would like to export a movieclip as a gif image. The movieclip contains a circle that fading from grey to transparent. So I wonder if it possible to export this movieclip as a gif to show it in for example photoshop and still have it fading from grey to transparent (not white!!).
in my Asp.net web page (C# on backend) I use a Repeater, whose items consist of a title and a Flex chart (embedded .swf file). I am trying to export the contents of the Repeater to a Word document. My problem is to convert the SWF files into images and pass it on to the Word document.
The swf object has a public function which returns a byteArray representation of itself (public function grabScreen():ByteArray), but I do not know how to call it directly from c#. I have access to the mxml files, so I can make modifications to the swf files, if needed.
I am working on an animation with two masks, which plays in Flash as expected, an exported SWF is ok, an exported Quicktime is ok, except for the dreaded ghosting which renders it useless, but when I export it as an image sequence (gif, png or jpg), one of the masks is consistently ignored, while the other one masks as expected. This already shows when I export one single frame as an image. As a result, I currently have no way to create a quicktime movie for this animation (running CS4 on OSX 10.6.5)
I was wondering what the best way of importing a generated swf file into illustrator is, so i can mess around with the elements, add in backgrounds etc
creating a simple paint application in Flash. My issue however, is being able to export the image from Flash and either uploading it to a server, or saving to desktop. I have Flash CS3, and a PHP server.I've looked around at bitmap exporters and such but I was wondering if there was anything already out there, such as source code? It's a personal project aimed primarily at kids
I have created a character for animation in illustrator and saved each symbol nessesary as a movie clip.After finally coming up with a decent animation everything seemed fine and exporting as a .swf looked great. When trying to export as a .gif however I get a singal non animated image. I've been looking for a simple answer to this problem such as Radtool converting a .swf or.avi to a gif and it give me a file not found error. I've attempted turning all of my symbols into graphics and I get a single image when I try to view it in flash (ctrl + enter). I've tried saving it as a bitmap and batching in photoshop with more error. I've tried going into flashes publish setting and saving an animated gif. Every export format I choose seems to give me a single non animated image except for .swf.
I downloaded the CS4 trial, and im having major problems exporting my flash file into an avi.I have imported an FLV file, and want to export it as an AVI. However when I do this, the screen is blank.
I currently require my flash animation to be exported into format that is compatible for television broadcast. HD would be ideal. I'm getting pretty choppy animations when exporting into H.246 from flash so I've decided to export it into a PNG sequence instead - which I will then import into after effects and take things from there.My flash document comprises of only scripted animations but they are not reflected when I export into a PNG sequence.
I created an animation using movieclips within one movieclip. When I export it as an .mov file, it's only the one frame (the stage which my movieclip is thrown on). I understand now why that is, but I'm close to deadline and can't go around changing things. So to my understanding, when you import a Video to the library, it has to be an .mov file. Then I can convert it to a FLV file, which is an option Flash gives in the dropdown menu. That's the background. Here is my ultimate question: I want to create a FLV file from my SWF or the FLA file. How do I do it?
I've just spent a bit of time making a animation, and created this animation within a movie clip. I did this because i planned to add a button at the beginning to start playing this movie clip, but since then ive scrapped that idea.
Whilst trying to export the file as either .swf/.gif/.avi etc. It's just creating a file with the image of the first frame.
