I am trying to apply rotationY/X/Z to an externally loaded image. The problem is that when I rotate the image in '3D', it does not appear. When I apply normal rotation, the image does appear. I have verified that the jpg is loaded, just does not display after rotationY/X/Z. The code below are snippets of my attempts.
PHP Code:
//LOAD IMAGE
public function load_img():void

I am trying to use rotationY,X,Z on an externally loaded image. The image is displayed properly when no 3D rotation is applied, but does not appear afterwards. I have tried various things: loading the image into a bitmap, loading that bitmap into a Sprite/MC. What am I missing?Just to be sure, regular rotation works fine, e.g
PHP Code:
pic.rotation = 2;
....axis rotation does not

Im quite new to the ActionScript scene so apologies if thisquestion has already been answered elsewhere. I am creating a 2dshooting game, and Im loading multiple images of various enemiesfrom several jpg files, but when I display these on screen heimages have a big black square round them. Now when I amprogramming in another language such as OpenGL, if I wanted to getrid of this I would enable an alpha blending function and set 100%transparency for the black colour which I want to hide. So I loadthe jpeg file and store it in a BitmapData variable, and then Icopy this into a new BitmapData variable with transparency enabledand set to 0x00000000 (fully transparent black). I thought thiswould solve my problem butt no joy. My code is shown below:public class GraphicsLoader extends Sprite {
public var loader:Loader; // The bitmap loader
public var bmp1:Bitmap;
public function GraphicsLoader(path:String)

I have a flash file that loads jpeg files and runs through each on the timeline. I have nav buttons to go back and forth. Here is the problem, all images load on frame 5 and I do this while another image is displayed so that they are loading in the background. I do this so that my initial file size is small, but I can load images in the background making the flash file appear to load quickly and loading other elements after it starts.
So all images load on frame 5, then I go frame by frame until I hit frame 11. If I click one of my nav buttons to go back to say, frame 7, the jpeg is gone and is no longer loaded. How to load jpeg files into the library, or at least, keep them loaded after they have loaded once? I have attached my fla file for reference. I had to rename the extension to eps, but it's a fla file, just rename the extension.

way to set the quality of a loaded jpeg the way we're able to set the quality on library item? It's pretty neat to be able to set the smoothing, is there a similar way to set quality?? Is there an approach anyone would recommend for dynamically setting the quality on a loaded image?
var loader:Loader = new Loader();
loader.load(new URLRequest("myImage.jpg"));

I was wondering, after looking into loading external images via xml- how you would control the size of those images on resize and on first loading.
Do you define the size of the container mc?
Can you apply the same or similar onresize code as you would when applying it too images on the stage?
I am creating an empty movieclip and loading a jpeg into it. The mc does not seem to resize to account for the jpeg's size, also the parent mc (thisClip) which is also created dynamically (with attachmovie), is set at 500 why:
thisClip.createEmptyMovieClip("theJpeg", 2);
thisClip.theJpeg.loadMovie(url);
thisClip.theJpeg.onEnterFrame = function(){

How can I get a jpeg that loads with the loadmovie command to fit to the dimensions of a movieclip that is being used as its "place holder"? Also if this image starts off initially at a much larger resolution than the place holder movieclip and therefore has to be shrunk down to start with, what happens when browser window is then resized to a larger window? (i.e the whole flash movie is enlarged). Will the image be stretched from the size it has been shrunk down to or will it still reference that external file? So if the image was larger than the site would ever need it to be would it look the best quality at all times?

I'm having trouble getting the _width & _height of a jpeg loaded using loadMovie. I'm trying to reposition it (pseudo-registration point) for rotation in a container movie clip. If I use hard-coded numbers, it works fine. However, if I try to position it based on its _width and _height properties, it's no go... in fact, it doesn't even show up on stage.

View 1 RepliesI have a movie that loads images from an external source based on paths contained within an .xml. As far as I can see, there is no restriction to the size of the loaded image, which are are JPEGs, hence flash will not have these images resized. The images look fine when loaded in Photoshop or viewed separately, but the quality is just awful when loaded within the movie.
I've tried the usual hints like increasing JPEG quality in Publish Settings, but understand that since these images are not imporated into Flash CS5 before compiling, but are instead loaded when the .swf is run, these settings would not have any effect.

I have three buttons, which when clicked load an external file into a movie clip called container. The first jpeg (1.jpg) is loaded into the container when the movie loads and the thumbnail buttons have the files t2.jpg, t3.jpg and t4.jpg loaded. When these are clicked they load 2,3 and 4.jpg respectively into the container. The problem is that I can only have 3 buttons but need to display 4 images. So I want the image that is loaded into the container to swap with the one that is in the button. I can't find any code, either on this forum or on the web, that retrieves the name of a file that is loaded into a movie clip.This is what I need.
Because all the images are named 1,2,3 or 4.jpg and the thumbnails for the buttons are t1,t2,t3 or t4.jpg I should be able to easily write the additional code to change what happens when the button is clicked, because when the picture on the button has changed to what was loaded into the container, the on(Release) code will need to change too.

I'm trying to create flash app where a single jpeg (person headshot) is loaded into the masked movieclip (same size as passport photo) (using loadMovie), then user can edit the image (drag inside mask, zoom, rotate) and then after pressing a button the app duplicates the EDITED image 4 times - to make sort of headshot sheet.
While I know how to load movie, drag single clip or scale it, I have no idea how to duplicate the movieclip once is edited, to make identical copies of it (scaled, rotated...)If I use duplicateMovieClip it won't work since it won't duplicate the loaded image.
Is it possible to dynamically load a jpg into an empty MC and make the jpeg linkable to an outside html file?
View 9 RepliesIs it possible to use rotationY on an MC that has an image inside? I am trying it and it does not seem to work. Is there another way to do this?
View 1 RepliesI have this movieclip which i would like to set an rotationY in 3d space. I want the rotationY angel to have a value so that the right side of my movieClip faces the center of the stage. Like an arrow in a dartboard. I thought this was easy to accomplish using simple trigonometry like this: (before the testMC is rotated in Y space, it has a widh of 1000) testMC.rotationY = -(Math.acos((stage.stageWidth/2)/(1000))*(180/Math.PI));

View 2 RepliesI'm using(tweening) the rotationY and rotationX properties on movieclips a layer above a background, bitmap or video, in two respective projects. There is a flickering of the movieclips and some bizarre distortion going on. I can't seem to find anything on the web about this, -has anyone else encountered this problem? Is it a known bug? Is there a workaround?

Basically I have used PerspectiveProjection so I may rotate multiple images about their centre so they don't appear differently rotated because of their x-position on the stage.My problem is calculating the width of the rotated images. When I rotate an image 45 degrees, my width ends up being ~146, but based on the following (my comments from my code), it should be closer to 141:

When I move a movieclip with the rotationY option around the stage, the other mivieclips are cancelled from the stage when the rotated movieclip pass over the others. I use flash actionscript 3 CS4.
View 1 RepliesI am using the following code to rotate movieclips with a nice 3d flip effect. var flipTween:Tween = new Tween(mc,"rotationY",Strong.easeIn, mc.rotationY,mc.rotationY + 180,time,true)
However the rotationY is relative to the stage not the parent movieclip of mc.I.e: If the rotation effect on the movieclips looks different depending on where on the stage they are. I know that with the roation tool in cs4 you can rotate relative to the parent movie clip, how can you do this in AS3 code.
I'm getting an error of that type, thrown for a variable whose type is Sprite.To me that makes no sense at all because Sprite has a public inherited property of rotationX and rotationY.Just as a test I changed the variable type to DisplayObject and still had the same error returned for both rotationX and rotationY.
var imageC:Sprite = new Sprite();var imageD:Sprite = new Sprite();
.
.
.
imageC.rotationY = 0;
This is the error:
Scene 1, Layer 'Layer 1', Frame 1, Line 149 1119: Access of possibly undefined property rotationY through a reference with static type flash.display:Sprite.
As you can see from the image, even if rotationY property of all 4 items are the same, they do not rotate at same amount. Each image are inside of a container and containers are added to stage. Why is it the case?
