For the class spark.components.Image
I can access the bitmapData object (readonly) (unscaled). I know the scaling factors of the Image.
How can I get a scaled version of the bitmapData?
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?
How can I copy or duplicate the bitmapdata from a mx:image component?
I need to display the same image in multiple screens of my application and don't want to have to download the image multiple times.
I could just use a urlrequest to download the image as a bitmap and copy that but I like the way you can can just set the source of the image component.
I'm building an application where the user can upload a photo of their head, scale it and position it, and then pick a colour from the photo.The photo gets put into a movieclip called 'head'I'm stuck at the colour picker part and I just can't seem to work out the whole bitmapData thing. Here's my colour picker code -
ActionScript Code:
private function beginColourPick():void
{
_bmd = new BitmapData(head.width, head.height);
[code]...
This code kind of works, but not correctly.
Problem #1: The colour picker only works in the bottom right quarter of the image because I moved the head mc so the registration point is bang in the middle. So the problem here is that I can't figure out how to move the bitmapData in line with the head mc.
Problem #2: If the user scales the head mc (even a tiny bit) the colour picker stops working altogether. Now I'm thinking I've got to use a transform matrix - but I read up on it and haven't got anywhere.
I'm trying to copy the bitmapdata of a movieclip in which i have a mask. And it copies by ignoring the mask. It's there a way to make it copy what i see (including the mask applied)?
View 7 RepliesI have a movieclip with an image that has transparency and filters applied to the movieclip.I know I can use "draw" to copy the movieclip to a bitmapdata object, but it doesn't seem to copy the filters and the transparency of the image. How can I copy these so the bitmapdata matches the original movieclip in appearance?
View 5 RepliesHaving trouble trying to scroll BitmapData on a half pixel here is my original code
var speed:Number = 1;
_bitmapData.copyPixels(_backgroundParallax, _screenRect, _zeroPoint, null, null, true);
_backgroundParallax.copyPixels(_backgroundParallax, new Rectangle(0, 0, speed, _backgroundParallax.height), new Point(_backgroundParallax.width-speed,0), null, null, false);
_backgroundParallax.scroll( (speed*-1) , 0);
which works until i change the var speed to .5, which is because .scroll method is expecting int's so i replicated what scroll is doing to try and allow .5 pixels

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.
View 2 RepliesI am developing an application similar to MS Paint. I am building a Flash Paint application. The basic structure is this. I have two layers namely topLayer_mc and bottomLayer_mc. The actual vector drawing is drawn on the top layer and onmouseUp of the tool, a bitmap copy of the vector graphics on the top layer is taken and added as a bitmap to the bottom layer. The top layer is cleared subsequently. It is working for the pencil tool.
Now I need to create an eraser tool. This is where things get tricky. In the application there is an option to save the image as png, so alpha has top be preserved. So the coventional method of draw a brush using the vector and using the draw method of bitmap will not work. Of course, on a visual level it would work if the brush drawn using the vector is to have the same color as that of the background. The eraser's are rectangular in shape.
The technique I am tring to use is to use the copyChannel method of BitmapData class. Specify a channels (say GREEN channel )hex value as 00 and make it as the source. Then make the destination channel ALPHA. I got it working without using movieclips as shown below.

I'm making a copy of a Sprite via the BitmapData Draw method. It kind of works other than the top portion of the bitmap gets cut off (replaced with transparent pixels). It looks like it's about the same height as the Sprite's y value.
looks like this:

I try to make a simple copy of a flv video in a new MovieClip using the BitmapData class.
Here is my code :

var objVideo = video1.v;
var _nc:NetConnection = new NetConnection();

I'm trying to create in Flex a Tile view that shows some images that a user has. The images don't have the same size, some are small and some are big.
What I'm trying to do is to use a List and create an ItemRenderer that has an Image property which displays the user images (the images are passed to the source property of the Image Object), I want the big images to scale down to the size of the tile so I set the 'scaleContnet' property of the Image Object to true, but this causes the small images to scale up to the size of the tile, this is not the behavior I want.
all the images are Embeded into Class objects and are passed as arguments to the ItemRenderer, how can I know in the ItemRenderer if I need to set the 'scaleContnet' property of the Image Object to true (for big images) or false (for small images)?
When I try to save a cropped image that I have scaled, my save function ceases to work, but works perfectly fine when the image is not scaled.
Here's my code:
var loada = new Loader();

loada.x = 205;
loada.y = 110;
loada.cacheAsBitmap = true;

I made an SWF file (say X) and I have loaded this SWF file into another FLA file (say Y). With help from this forum, I got to do what I wanted - when I click on a button on the FLA file (Y), the SWF (X) shrinks to a smaller size (about half the size) and when I click on that same button again, X enlarges back to the original size. I acomplished this with tweenlite. THe SWF (X) has a slideshow of images. Now, when the SWF (X) shrinks to a smaller size, the images look very distorted and text in the images are not readable (although the text is large enough to be clearly visible).
View 1 RepliesI have a flash application in which I need to scale a MovieClip.This MovieClip contains an image (in a Loader) with a resolution of 1024x768 (which is the size of the MovieClip as well).When I want to scale this MovieClip to 80% I do:
myMovieClip.scaleX = 0.8;
myMovieClip.scaleY = 0.8;
The problem is the resulting scaled image has aliasing and is not of good quality. Is there a way to change the scaling algorithm used to get a better image?Or is there a better way to scale MovieClips? I can't rely on bitmap data because this MovieClip may contain another SWF with video for example and it must scale regardless of its internal content.
How to copy an image in AS3 to the clipboard? For text it works but I can't find a way to copy an image.
View 1 RepliesDo any one have idea of copying only a small portion of a image, further it could be made as mc. Or any other method to do this in as3? Not manually breaking the image and convert as mc.
View 1 RepliesAny way to copy the pixels or handle the image from URL "[URL]" in Flash? It will work fine in FLASH IDE but when I look this in browser, then it crashed.

View 1 RepliesI load an png image and add it to the display list. Now I want to add this image more than once, like a pinball game there could be 3,4,5 balls, all with the same image. But I cant add the same image reference more than once to the display list, right? So should I make a copy of it? How can I copy it and add to the display list without needing to load it from file more than once?
I tried using this: [URL] But didnt worked! I use the class Loader to load an png, and I use the Loader.content as a parameter of that function. When I add the result to the displaylist nothing appears!
I am trying to take a snapshot of the masked region of an image... so, I load my image then perform the following functions:
private function manageLoadedImage(e:Event):void
{
_bitdata = e.currentTarget.content; // get the bitmap
_bithold.addChild( _bitdata ); // add the bitmap to a sprite on the stage
[Code]....
I have a movie, inside that movie I have a thumbnail editor name ThumbEdit.
ThumbEdit has a movieclip on its stage called "holder1". In the document class of ThumbEdit I create a sprite "_bithold" and place it on the stage at holder1.x and holder1.y. When the image loads, I add the image to _bithold and then mask _bithold with a shape. So, I want to grab a snapshot of the masked region of _bithold but I'm not sure how I should go about doing that.
When I drop an image onto my canvas I can get the nativePath to the image but not the bitmapdata wich is the one I need.
In debug mode when I look into the file properties the data is set to NULL.
In my code file.data doesn't give me anything.
protected function creationCompleteHandler(event:FlexEvent):void
{
this.addEventListener(NativeDragEvent.NATIVE_DRAG_ENTER,onDragIn);

The image is already held locally on the client PC and it is an Air application. The image is not embedded, it is in the Application Storage directory.
I have seen this question: How can i get a BitmapData object out of a File object from a local jpeg file in AIR? but it uses URLRequest which I don't think is what I need because the file is local.
This should be a sample question ,, all i want is to import an image from my computer to a bitmapData , knowing that my image is png .. ?
View 6 RepliesIm 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've read some stuff here and there, but I dont really understand how this would work. For example, I have an image of 800x500 and want to break this apart in 40 pieces (100x100), how would I do this using the bitMapData and (probably) draw Rectangles which will hold the pieces?
