ActionScript 3.0 :: Pass Through Blending Modes?
May 5, 2010
I'm finding a lot of problems trying to do a large-scale and complex 3D interface, and most movieclips are parented once if not several times. This is the only way that I see to be able to manage having a number of movieclips move and rotate together with common anchor points. But one of the problems with this is not being able to set different blendModes of child clips. Yes, yes, I usually try and avoid parenting for that reason which is much easier in 2D. But if there is no way to "force" or "pass-through" blendingModes of clips with parent(s), please explain to me how I can have a number of button objects that I can easily move and rotate together around 3D space, but also have independently changeable blendModes for rollover states etc?

when playing with blending modes I noticed that they affect the background of an html page.To me this says that flash is interpreting the image below and adjusting the pixels in flash. If this were true it would be possible to take screen shots .I tried copying the bitmap of _root and other movieclips but it does not record the html site in behind.

I am learning ActionScript 3.0. Coming from Java world I can easily relate to strict compilation mode. I think having type safety checks at compilation time makes perfect sense. This makes me wonder, why the compiler allows a standard mode were all the type safety checks are deferred to run time? Is compatibility with older ActionScript specification the sole reason for having standard mode?

I have a number of objects (represented as DisplayObjects) that I wish to blend with each other. However behind these objects there is a background that i do not want to involve in the blending. So basically I want to blend these objects with eachother and afterwards use the result of this blending as a new DisplayObject (for example to put it on top of a randomly colored background).
So what I have is:
var obj1:DisplayObject = getFirstObj();
var obj2:DisplayObject = getSecObj();
var background:DisplayObject = getBackground();
obj1.blendMode = BlendMode.ADD;
obj2.blendMode = BlendMode.ADD;
At first attempt I tried was putting these objects into a common DisplayObjectContainer hoping that blending mode would only be relative to all objects contained by the same DisplayObjectContainer, but this does not seem to be the case.
var objectsPool:Sprite = new Sprite();
objectsPool.addChild( obj1 );
objectsPool.addChild( obj2 );
addChild( background );
addchild( objectsPool );

ActionScript Code:
on (release) {
tellTarget ("../music") {
stopAllSounds();
}
}
on (release) {
[Code]...
How do you make that into one script so the on button is the same as the off?

I have a situation where I have to a have a few different sized "cameras" to send over a netstream depending on if its a desktop or mobile connected. Here's how I have it setup:
protected var nearCam:Camera;
protected var nearCamForMobile:Camera;
nearCam = Camera.getCamera();
[Code].....
If i do JUST the nearCamForMobile and send that to the mobile versaion it looks great on the phone and it's not stretched. but then obviously its 480x800 resolution looks stretched on the desktop version which is a 385x240 video box. So if i do just the nearCam it looks great on the desktop but then it looks stretched on the mobile....
So what im curious is why Cant I do both vars the way I showed above, display the nearCam, and then have the nearCamForMobile waiting to be sent when i need it to?
Can you only have one camera mode setup at a time? On the mobile version its setup so the user is holding the phone in potrait and its 840x480. The desktop site looks best when its like a widescreen video.
In the end I'm basically trying to figure out how to have 2 camera vars with 2 resolutions. Display 1 on the near side and attach the other to the netstream in a situation where the far is a mobile client. (I know how to figure out if the far is mobile, im not worried about that part)
I just need to be able to transmit a resolution/aspect ratio that looks good for a mobile client. which happens to be in a different aspect ratio than the desktop cleint.

Below I have actionscript that plays movieclips in my library at random. How can I add to this to blend(fade) the movieclips into each other so that when the movieclip is done, it doesnt fade to white it simply fades/blends into the next movieclip/slide?
Code:
var MCs = new Array("mc1", "mc2", "mc3", "mc4", "mc5");
var selectedMC = MCs[Math.floor(Math.random() * MCs.length)];

So I've been working on an online coloring book, and I've got most of it working for the majority. As you can see from the attached file it is fully functional except for the reset button. Ultimately I'd like you to be able to switch between two modes, a basic click and fill mode, and one that switches to a pencil to draw on the image. When you click on reset it is to clear the drawings, and reset the fills to their original colors.

I am trying to save an image from flash, just load a image into flash place some decorative clip art and then save the image to the disk. I was able to do this via BitmapData + PNGEncoder + FileReference.
Now as an experiment I have introduced new clip sprites for decoration, where in each of these have multiple sprite children with different blend modes say "ERASE", "OVERLAY", etc. As far as the flash runtime is considered I am getting the expected effect for blend modes.
But as soon as I try to save the image, the output is weird, it doesn't resembels what I see in the flash player. I also tried to print the page as pdf using PrintJob class, but the pdf would not show the filter effects or the blend modes ones.
As far as I am using the plain clip arts with no effects, no blur, no blend modes the image is generated. But when i try to use the BitmapData.draw() method with the image that has clip arts with blend mode or blur it fails.
BitmapData.draw() with blend modes, as I feel if the we could possibly see the blending effects in the player then we could possibly print it as well.

When I draw a perfectly rectangular sprite, where all the corners land on perfect integer locations, then there is no problem. However when my sprite as an irregular shape ( with diagonal lines ), or it does not land on perfect integer locations, then Flash does some kind of blending / smoothing around the edges. This is bad.
Here is an example:
ActionScript Code:
var s:Shape;
s= new Shape();
s.graphics.beginFill(0x0000ff, 1);
s.graphics.moveTo(0, 0);
[Code] .....
And here is an image of what the above produces:
From the code, I drew a green rectangle and blue one, both with a slight skew. So the only 2 colors I want to see are blue and green. But you can see from the image, that along the diagonal of the shapes, there is some kind of blending going on. Flash is using a light green, and a light blue in certain places. Presumably this makes things look better, but I need to prevent this. I need each pixel to be either green or blue or nothing (white). How can I stop Flash from blending the pixels like its doing?

I have an app. in which I have placed a ViewStack with (16) Tabs, and Im using a Timer set up to cycle every five (5) seconds through these VS Tabs automatically.
Each VS Tab has an IFrame included to load a particular web site, and I use the auto cycling to not need to go to each Tab manually and wait each time until the page loads before I can use it.
(Note: The IFrame does not need to do anything else other than to show the page nothing else)
All works very well on the work computer running the app. with CPU activity of around 20 to 30%, but when I address the app. on the sever I have increased CPU activity starting with around 30% on the first sequence, and running the second Tab sequence it is going up to around 90% in Semi-auto or Full-auto modes with five (5) seconds beak in between Tab switches and between each sequence.
To explain more in detail I do have six (6) sequences and an arrangement which uses Semi-auto or Full-auto mode (Looping).
I do use (timerName.reset) instead of (timerName.stop) and have also have used (timerName.removeEventListener .) as each Timer sequence get called separately.

I'm new to the whole flash thing and I'm learning on flash 8 - In photoshop you can group layers so that the blending mode you use on a layer will only apply to the layers in that group... I've been searching all over, and maybe it's right in front of me, but does flash have a way of isolating the selected blending mode to just the layers or objects of the user's choice?

Solved HERE: [URL] It's a mashup from two inspirations. Basically I'm using PV3D to add pixels to the scene everyframe and I have an BitmapEffectLayer handling their display. At the moment I am using a ColorMatrixFilter to fade out the pixels each frame and then add new ones. This is great but I also want additive blending (so when many pixels are on top of each other they turn white).
The original 2D version of this basically added the particles color to the original pixel color creating an additive blend. But I can't do that in 3D!!! Once the old pixels have been drawn they go to the BitmapEffectLayerand are rendered in 2D.. but I can go from 2D back to 3D again.. I hope I have explained my problem clearly.. also even if I could my skill doesn't permit me to do it..

Inside movieClip container, there are colored buttons on layer1 and on layer2 there is movieClip square which covers the buttons. I want to use the color efffects and blending options of movieClip square to make layer 1 alpha. There are some blending options called alpha, difference, lighten and substract but Im not getting the right combinations. I want to make layer1 alpha only by using layer2.

I'm having to pass data (originally read via an XML file loaded by the parent class) to a child class upon instantiation, and I can't decide which is the better method.I could parse the XML in the parent and throw the data into an Object and pass that object to the child class....or just pass the part it needs as an XMLList and let the child class do the parsing.Seems like a trivial decision, yes, but I'm not sure of longer-term implications.

Trying to pass a variable as well and cant seem to escape to pass it. How can I pass using window.open as such: Trying to pass (pid) all i get back is (pid) and not actual pid.How to on a jscommand?
Code:
something.onRelease = function () {
var jscommand:String = "window.open('http://www.someform.php?proj= + (pid)','win','height=200,width=300,toolbar=no,scrollbars=yes');"; getURL("javascript:" + jscommand + " void(0);"); }
I can do a standard getUrl("http://www.someform.php?proj=" + (pid), "_blank"); works fine but no control over window properties.

In the past I have created a php file that generates the XML and then referenced it in place of the xml file and it has worked. I am trying this with a precompiled flash app and it is not working.
It works if I run the script, save it and then reference that file to the swf. I would rather not generate a file to the filesystem if possible. Anyone any solutions?

I have this little quiz I made in flash and it's a movie clip. Now I have a variable (score) that I use to tally up the score. What I'm trying to do next is tell ANOTHER movie clip that if the score is a certain number, play a certain frame in the NEW movie clip. So how do I pass that variable from the one movie clip to another movie clip and tell that clip to play at a certain frame if score=x?
