I'm trying to take an ImageSnapshot of the whole stage in FlashCS5:
ActionScript Code:
// set up save image
var image:ImageSnapshot;
var fileSave:FileReference;
[Code].....
It works, but it takes the snapshot, that's in the upperleft corner of the image, and has this long black background.
Is there anyway to specify and print everything on the stage, and in the stages bounds?
As usual I've come across something easy to do in Flex but not in Flash. Flex has ImageSnapshot and PNGEncoder to get a .png out of a display object. Any way to do this in flash without using a 3rd party API as I can't distribute a license with my app. I'm using Flash CS5. I wish there was as much support for Flash as there is for Flex. I've had to write my own tree component, if I'd have used Flex I could have just used the Flex tree component. I'm hoping I don't have to write my own display object to png class myself.
View 2 RepliesI can take snapshot of a component. But the problem is the component is lil bigger with scroll bars. The saved image has scrollbars (only the visible area is getting saved). What i need is I want the entire component to be saved as an image.
This exact functionality is available while we print the component using FlexPrintJob, where by setting the FlexPrintJobScaleType.NONE.
I'm trying to set my own icons for Air for Android using Flash CS5. I see the icon tab within the Air Android Settings panel, but it won't let me navigate to my icons. Also, I would add the path to my manifest.xml file, but it gets overwritten while publishing.

View 3 RepliesI am fairly new with using FlashCS5. I just finished the class and created a button with text in it for class but now when I need to do it for a project I can't seem to get it to work.I am trying to create a simple start and stop button to start and stop a Flash movie.I can get the buttons to work without any text, such as the word start and stop in the middle of each.Everything I've tried to do with the text on the button turns out the same.What happens is that in Flash the buttons appear to work fine The little hand with the finger shows no matter where I place my cursor on the button but when I test them the area where the text is does not allow the click to work. I have tried specifying a hit area and made sure that the hit area was larger than the entire button but still the middle where the text is doesn't work.
View 8 RepliesI'm loading and displaying a large image say 6000 x 6000 px using an image tag. I wanted to take a snapshot of the image. But the maximum limit I get is 2880 px dimensions using Flex 4, flash player 10. Didn't the limit of FP 10 increased to 4096 px? Then why am I getting 2880? Is there a way to increase that size.
View 2 RepliesI was wondering what is everyone's experience are on why a network request would work in FlashCS5 and in a browser locally but when i post it online it fails.The survivorId is sent from the string query. Both tests were done calling a network database.I've tried the following:Outputing the survivorId in a text field and seeing if the parameter variables were being sent correctly.Set the "Networking Only" option in the publish settings.Also is there a way to output trace actions from browsers for more in depth debugging?*EDIT: I have recreated the bug locally in a browser. Without trace actions i don't know if i can figure it out.*EDIT2: That bug only showed up because its from localhost (Apolligies, this is just wierd)Heres My Code, There is the "Stage" then it goes "localSurvivor"(movieClip) then in side that localSurvivor movieclip the "lPlayer" class is addChild() to localSurvivor MovieClipStage-> localSurivor-> lPlayer(survivorId);On the stage is this code:
//Set localP Id
var survId:Number = root.loaderInfo.parameters.sId;
//Object(root).informationTxt.text = survId;

I have a website project to finish on monday and I'm with a huge problem. I need to create textFields from AS3, load it's text from xml and use loaded CSS file in it. I've embedded the font but it doen't work, and worst, not working even with Times or Verdana fonts. I have embedded the fonts using default name, "Font 1", etc, since I read those export names must be different then system font name. Here are the code (bad one, only to show the problem), the CSS, and the capture of the swf is here:

I have two dynamic classic TextFields in a MovieClip, one with Arial Regular embedded and the other with Arial Bold, but the second TextField is not showing the bold text. It shows regular text.

View 2 RepliesI am using SWFOBJECT to embed my flash content. I have been worried about stage.stageWidth and stage.stageHeight returning 0 in Firefox/Internet Explorer; this problem is referred to in question #21 on the SWFOBJECT FAQ [URL]..I have been told that this problem is particularly prevelant on Macs. The SWFOBJECT FAQ (question 21) indirectly suggests that this problem does not occur with static publishing. Is this correct? Is it still advisable to implement a solution to this stageWidth/stageHeight problem, even if you are using static publishing?
View 1 Replies- I have A.fla.
- A.fla includes buttons, movie clips and also B.swf is loaded in A.fla using a LOADER
- i want to access elements in A.fla, from the actionscript codes inside B.fla to modify those movie clips and buttons based on actions going on in B.swf
for instance, lets say there is a button X in A.fla, and there is a button Y in B.fla, B.swf is loaded into A.fla, and I want the button Y to erase button X when clicked.
general question: accessing elements in a stage, through a SWF file loaded into that stage.
I'm writing a web based flash app that's written entirely in AS3. I have objects on the screen as part of a GUI. I would like the user to be able to resize the window, or make it full screen. I would like everything to auto-scale with the resize, but also remain in the same relative position on the stage.
View 1 RepliesI have a library swf (asset.swf), it's document class binded to Asset.as, and in the Constructor function of Asset,[code]as known to all, we cannot visit the stage attribute before the display object added to the stage.so, when my loader.swf try to load asset.swf, it throws exception and the loading come to failure is there some one tell me how to load the asset.swf? I cannot modify the asset.swf.
View 0 RepliesI've been working on a project that requires lots of scaling around a center point.
I always thought that stage.stageWidth and stage.stageHeight give you the dimensions of the stage you set in the properties panel no matter what. But when I went into fullscreen mode (with scaling), both the width and the height changed to the dimensions of the screen rather than staying the dimensions I specified.
I have a moving vehicle on the stage, which should change directions according to where I click on the stage.I already made it work using this formula:var angle:Number = Math.atan2(dy,dx)*180/Math.PI+90;However, I need the car to tween to the correct angle, instead of just "jumping" to it. While this is easy enough to do, the car sometimes takes the longer turn (especially when I click in the bottom-left quarter of the stage), and it seems unnatural.
View 0 RepliesIn my AS3 code all the elements on the page are dynamically positioned depending on the current width and height of the SWF - providing it's not under a certain value, then the items are back in their original position.
When debugging in the Flash player the size all reports correctly however when run from a web browser it does not - initially.
This is my HTML & PHP code for the entire page:
HTML Code:
<?php
function hashId($fn) {
$hash=md5_file($fn);
[Code].....
But I cannot get the size to report correctly without, say, clicking a button.
It seems to me like I need to force flash to re-draw the screen, but I had no luck trying to do that.
How do you make a movieclip move horizontally from the start of the stage to 3/4 of the stage. Stage size is 700 px by 600 px i want just one row in the middle of the stage. i want that movieclip to disappear right after it reach the end of the 3/4 mark.

In as3 What is the difference between calling stage.width and stage.stageWidth I read somewhere that if we have nothing on stage then the value of stage.width is 0,but what happen when I have nothing on stage but loading contents dynamically on stage?I have tried this and when i have loaded content dynamically on stage then i have got
stage.width=value; // where value is dynamic number
I created a custom textfield component that I need multiples of in a single swf. I also created a non-visual wrapper component to manage them. I am sending info from the textfields to wrapper. I was planning on using the child index to associate the info with the right component. The problem occurs when I have two instances of the textfield component and one of the wrapper on stage and I use stage.numChildren and it returns 1.

I have 4 movies that need to be loaded in sequence. The first movie loads the second one, the second one loads the third, then the third one loads the fourth. What I can't figure out is how to make sure there's only one movie loaded at any time. I've tried removeChildAt(0) and other methods. What's the best way to load a movie to the stage and wipe out what was on the stage?
