When I publish as a PNG with Alpha there are black pixels that are rendered on the edge of the image near where the text is.If I remove the text from the image the black pixels do not render and the alpha looks as intended.
View 1 RepliesLet say I have a BitmapData with different pixels representing an object, and some black pixels around it that I want to remove.I would like to obtain a new BitmapData, with width and height of the object represented by non-black pixels.For example, let say I have a BitmapData 400x400px, but the object represented by non-black pixels occupies the rect: x=100, y=100, width=200, height=200. I want to get new BitmapData representing that rect, all black pixels should be removed. Of course, i have no coordinates for that rectangle, i need somehow to make difference between a full black bitmapdata and the original one, and construct a new bitmapdata (different width and height).
View 1 RepliesI am using ColorMatixFilter on an Image in Flex. I am really close to getting want I need out of the filter.Basically any PNG file the user uploads I want all pixels that are not transparent to be colored black. I have a function that sets the "brightness" already so I just through a really large negative number at it like -1000 and it does the job but the problem is any pixels that have any alpha to them, say 0.9 or below all end up being white when I encode my PNG file on the server later.
[Code]...
I would like all pixels to be solid black unless the pixel is completely transparent and not sure how to tweak the values to get that out of it.
I'd like to know if there is a way for me to someone create a 1px or 2px black border around only the opaque pixels in my movie clip?
I have a movie clip that has nested inside of it a Sprite that contains a graphic that was loaded up at runtime via Loader object. The graphic is a png image that contains parts of it as transparent.
Sometimes while typing in a textarea in Flex many characters will be rendered at one height then at some point on that same text line the rest of the characters are rendered a couple pixels lower than the rest. Here is an example, look at the last 'I' character, its low:
Sometimes changing the font size will fix this but its not consistent and its not something I can detect (and fix even if I could). Anybody got an idea why this happens? It happens for embedded and non-embedded fonts.
What I have setup right now is one movieClip that is being used to be drawn into a BitmapData object. That bitmapData object is being drawn on the enterFrame and I am needing to clear it so it doesnt have the previous enterFrames information still stored in it, then once it is clear draw the current information. Is there a simple way to clear or erase all the pixel information in the BitmapData object?
If there is a way to set the alpha of the pixels I would really like to know how that is done as well. However, I want to change the alpha level of the entire BitmapData object, not just a few pixels.
I have imported an object "DD_dropdown_clip" from the stage with this code:
[Code]...
The object is a black field. The fn "setup" writes text on this field. The problem with the code commented out is that it changes the alpha of both the black field and the text, whereas I simply want to change the alpha of the black field. How can I do this? Can I do it in the IDE?
I have a dynamic text field which loads data from an xml file, I've embedded the font so that I can tween the motions etc of the text, and so far i've been able to apply a motion tween on the alpha channel and get my text to fade in.The problem is that the UIScrollBar component which is attached to the text field gets stuck at the starting alpha amount and wont tween to the full amount (like the text will) at the moment I'm motion tweening from 33% alpha to 100% alpha and while the text reaches the full 100%, the scrollbar gets stuck at 33%.
is there anyway to get this working?I also have another smaller problem with my UIScrollbar, when it first loads it flickers as a white square in the corner of the text field for a moment before properly rendering. this happens with and without tweening. I've made my own skin for the component, could this be causing the problem somehow?I can work around the alpha issue if it renders properly instantly, and vice versa.
Use line or pancil tool in Flash CS 5.0 or 5.5.Choose pure black color #000000 and zero alpha.Try to draw line on the tage.
result : stage is empty
how to grab the transparency (or alpha value) of individual pixels in an embedded or loaded video? We tried copying over a frame of video into a bitmapdata object with transparency enabled. However, even though we can "see through" the video at certain spots (indicating alpha = 0 there), the alpha value comes back as 0xFF for every single pixel in the BitmapData object.Obviously alpha data is being stored inside the embedded video, but how can I actually get that value?

ActionScript Code:
var Anim:TransitionManager = new TransitionManager(blackbox);
Anim.startTransition({type:PixelDissolve, direction:Transition.OUT, duration:1, easing:None.easeOut, xSections:35, ySections:35});
basically what i would like is the end point to be the start point and the start point the end point.
I have a swf file that loads into my main movie, and within that swf there is a masked image that i would like to scale using zoom in and out buttons and also by using a slider bar.However i cant find any tutorials that will allow me to combine the two.I have used the following code for the buttons. Which seems to work ok but i would like it to be a little smoother. (using speed or some sort of easing??)
ActionScript Code:
zoomPlus.onRelease = function(zoomIn) {
if (test_shirt.shirt._xscale == 400 && test_shirt.shirt._yscale == 400) {[code]....
but for this code it keeps shrinking my initial object down to 10 pixels by 10 pixels..
I have a movie clip called column1_mc. when I click a button I need to move the movie clip in incremental moves consisting of 30 pixels.
column1_mc._y = 30;
Does not work because that is giving a _y coordinate.For example.I need to make the movie clip jump to _y 300 but make 10x30 pixel incremental jumps. Moving 10 times 30 pixel jumps.
Is it possible to convert an image (runtime) in Actionscript 3.0 from black/white to black/*color* ...Does someone know a solution? Matrix? Blending methods maybe? Pixel bender?
View 1 Replies[URL] i want the object to fade out but in the object there's a lot of overlapping pictures and each becomes half transparent. how to make the movieclip to change the alpha as it was without objects?
[Code]....
just spotted this curious trick. If you want to flip something to go invisible on a click, and then reappear on another click (etc etc), try this:
create the sprite, setting alpha to either to 1 OR -1
mySprite.alpha=1; //OR
mySprite.aplha=-1;
[code]....
using AS, on loading a movie a solid shape is there with alpha at 100% then over a period of 5 secs its alpha is reduced to 0.
i'm new to this......please help if you want to if you don't have a good weekend but think of me struggling onwards and upwards...
I want to do aplpha = .5 for the whole app, but then have a MC display at full alpha, is there any way to do this?
View 6 RepliesAs far as I know theres in no way to cahnge the alpha of a dynamic text box. I put one in a movie clip and when i try to change the alpha of it everything else in it changes its alpha but the not the DT box. Could someone plz verify for me that u can't change alpha and help me find a component that allows alpha control with a dynamic text box. thx in advance.

View 4 Repliesi embedded a swf into a page recently. I got it outsourced as i dont know my flash but the guy sent it to me like this.[code]however, the logo was then black in the background. which was really annoying, cause i'd asked for a transparent background and now i had a black one which didnt match the gradient of the header of the page.so i went back to the logo designer and i asked, he didnt know how to make the background transparent with this new code i've used. So, i asked him to make a new one with the gradient in the background. he did, and there are still black bits to the side of the logo..so i thought best to come to a knowledgeable place and ask - how do i set the background for this embedded swf as transparent?URL...

View 2 Repliesif I set the stage to be 800 px X 800 px, it does not appear square, neither does holding shift + drawing a rectangle. However, drawing an oval and holding shift seems to create a circle(though it could be I can't notice it because it's too small). Is there some way to make these appear square?
View 6 RepliesI'm trying to get my program to detect when certain pixels (not shapes) have been hit but don't know what sort of code to use for "reading" pixels. I read about the getPixel method, but it seems that's only for bitmap images?If it helps, I'm trying to put it into use with hitTest, with specific pixels rather than shapes in general.
View 0 RepliesIs there any way of forcing Flash 8 to use full pixels like photoshop?for instance. I want a button on X: -140 & Y: -30. This is the way I'm used to in photoshop but in Flash you can use (X: -140.5). It takes so much time to remove all these half pixels.
View 2 RepliesI imported and .png (bitmap) and converted it to symbol however when I place it on stage and look at it the corners (marker with red, edit: basically all the corners are somewhat incorrect) appear somewhat ugly, however when I zoom in to 200% I see that everything is correct. I'm also sure that when importing the .png image the pixels were correct. Why is it so and how to fix it?

PHP Code:
MovieClip.prototype.easingY = function(toY){ this.onEnterFrame = function(){ this._y -= (this._y-toY)/3; if(this._y > toY-4 && this._y < toY+4){ this._y = toY; delete this.onEnterFrame } } }
now i have to provide a Y position to move to...is it possible to change this code so that instead of providing a Y position i give it a amount of pixels to move (up/down)? ex. move 100 pixels UP from current y or move 222 pixels down..
