I have two custom as3 classes, TriviaGame and TriviaQuestion, and I am attempting to retrieve a bitmap image stored in TriviaQuestion and have found it impossible thus far.I am attaching the full AS files/SWF/etc in a zip file, but here are the parts I believe are important.[code]The only time I am able to access the bitmap's info (in order to add it to the display) is inside ImageLoaded().
View 3 RepliesI am currently developing an application with a Flashlite frontend which communicates with a C# server. The C# server access a database to retrieve images (stored as byte[]) and feed them to the frontend. The thing is, im using XMLSockets so I tried to convert the byte array into a string which left me with something like "23659256239786107089710981890776178910976". I then send it over to the Flash lite, but how to turn this into an image. I am currently using Flash Lite 3.0 /AS 2.1

View 10 RepliesI'm looking for a good method to compare a single bitmap data instance against an array of stored bitmap data objects. I need to figure out how I can compare and arrive at the conclusion that the result either means that the images are of the same object/aka similar or if they are two totally different images. I tried checking threshold of the result of the compare() function but my efforts have failed so far.
View 5 RepliesI am getting a mysterious result when trying to load profile images from a logged in Facebook user's friends list into an as3 canvas app. In pretty much every (non-facebook) application I've made where loading an image is required I use the following:
private function loadPic():void
{
var url:String = Facebook.getImageUrl(_friendslistObjectArray[_loadCount].id);
_picLoader = new Loader();[code]............
I can't retrieve the image from the event object,and I am given no error at all.It all just fails silently.If I remove the line var image = evt.target.content, the process runs through the whole array.I can't think of any reason this would occur. Furthermore, if I look in firebug's net activity, I see I see the images get loaded as long as I do not have the line I just mentioned included. I just can't seem to get the image data from the event object to add it to stage or a container movieclip.
I package an IPA file including some assets (images). Once installed, I want to load an image in my swf: which is the path of this image? How can I load it?
View 1 RepliesI'm a designer working in tandem with a PHP programmer on a project where we will display a random image via flash from a selection of images stored on a database. Accompanying this image is a tagline and a path for a button and these variables are sent via a php script. The actionscript then picks up these vars via loadVars and displays them on screen - well, almost.
The tagline is displaying in the dynamic text box with no problems, but I'm struggling with how to display the image in the empty MC I've created (called 'pic') and also to attach the path to the button I've created (called 'projectURL_btn'). I'm fairly sure it's something fairly simple but I just can't crack it.

I'm using FileReference to load up JPG or PNG images and I'd like to retrieve the image size dimensions somehow. Is there a way to do this?
Code:
//initialize the fileReference
fileReference = new FileReference();
//add some listeners
fileReference.addEventListener(Event.SELECT, onSelectFile);
fileReference.addEventListener(Event.COMPLETE, onCompleteFile);
[Code] .....
Okay, I know this is a stupid question but, if you bring in a jpg or png image and either convert it to a graphic or a movie clip, or just leave it as an image, is there a way to distort the image other than scaling, rotating and skewing it. For example, I want to change the perspective of an image the way I do in photoshop.Let's say the image is a house, in photoshop, you can take the house and make it look like a trapezoid shape, you know, wider at the bottom than at the top Is there a way to do this using flash tools? Envelope distorting, if you break the image apart doesn't really work.
View 1 RepliesI'm trying to cut up a bitmap image into pieces, and then tween each piece away sequentially. Cutting up the pieces and placing those pieces in an array is where I'm at. But to tween each piece on a timer is where I'm stuck; here's the code:

I need to create an Image control from a Bitmap because I have an ItemRedender to use in a List control.
I'm trying to show a list of images (Bitmaps) in a List control and I couldn't by now.
I'm wondering if there is some library (or maybe tutorial?) which can produce Instagram-like color tweaks for Bitmap/BitmapData objects in AS3. Color Matrix/ColorMatrixFilter will not be probably able to achieve such as results or yes?

I'm loading a list of urls of pics from an fql query, then loading those urls with the loader class using this function:_loc is a MovieClip that holds the picture,[code]In onMyPictureLoaded I would like to get the bitmapdata out of loader.content and scale the image (smooth it too) that way, and then reattach it to the _obj MovieClip, but I'm having trouble reattaching that new bitmap to the object.It seems the problem is more to do with events and not having the ability to pass information (_loc, for example) from:loader.contentLoaderInfo.addEventListener(Event.CO MPLETE,onMyPictureLoaded); to the onMyPictureLoaded function.
View 11 RepliesThe basic concept: I want to at runtime overlay (or paste or whatever) one bitmap image asset onto another. The original image asset is a texture on a 3d sphere.Example:3D Sphere with earth texture applied to it. Put a cloud on the earth texture and have cloud move along the earth.
Caveats:Can't use any composite materials because I take a serious perf hit. Want to try working only with bitmaps to see if it is faster.I've gotten this far but don't know how to fill rectangle with jpeg file and certainly have no idea where to go from here..earthBitmap= new BitmapData( 256, 256, true); fillRect will only do a color ... I need what fills a rect with jpeg image and how to edit a bitmap on the fly.

How can I use a bitmap tile for texturing a vectorial image ?
View 2 RepliesWhat I would like to do is to take a loaded GIF file as a Bitmap and then distort it by stretching and shrinking parts of it, so it would look like it got squished up against the screen. I'm pretty sure that there's no easy way in Flash to go beyond scaling and shearing, but I wonder if there might be some simple techniques to accomplish this kind of effect. By the way, I've also thought of pre-deforming the images in GIMP and saving them there, but I can't find a simple way to do it without learning their scripting language.

Is it possible to iterate each pixel of a bitmap image? Eventually what I'm trying to achieve is that I need to get the coordinate values of each pixel of a bitmap image and change the color of those pixels according to their coordinate values. As I see it, I need to use the getPixels() method but I still did not understand exactly what I should do.

I've been tasked to write a chat engine in actionscript3 (AIR) and every chat message has an image of the poster associated with it. So I have 5 chat messages on the screen at any one time but it will be obvious that the images associated with message e.g. #1 changes all the time because the last person posting is different.
What I believe is wrong is to use the .addChild method every time I need to replace the image because it will just keep creating more stuff on the stage. What I tried to do is the code below but it refuses to update the image. The way I thought it should work[code]...
I have an image, that will be dynamically loaded. I have some graphics drawing tools with which a user can draw something, which is saved on a shape object. Now what i want to make the uploaded pic & drawing pic into one pic. Actually it will be better if i can draw on the uploaded pic.

ok when i say Tweener.addTween(arrayOfBitmaps[i]. the animation is just made from the last part o fthe array and not by the whole group.
I've put together an example of the problem I am having and I've also attached my 2 x 2 image I'm using. The image is linked with the class name of ContentTexture which is referenced in my code below:

import fl.transitions.Tween;

I've tried using different tweening engines (greensock's TweenLite, Tweener, and flash's built in Tweening engine) so I think it's more of a general flash issue...maybe a bug? I'm using Flash CS4 on a PC and I've tried 24fps and 30fps with no difference. Is this a rendering issue/flash bug? or is there another setting I'm missing?

When I created a Bitmap object from drawling the pixels of an image and then scale that Bitmap too large (or even too small) the image disappears or in some cases distorts in what appears to be random pixels barfed all over my screen.
In order to show you this I have made an example: [URL]
(click the plus button any more than 8 times and poof! the bitmap disappears)
And source: [URL]
