I am working with some images in my flash file which I would like to have at a high resolution (approx 1280X1024 px or even higher) so that they look good when they take up a full screen, and also when I zoom IN on them.
However, when I import them into flash at this size, they look TERRIBLE when zoomed OUT (eg. to 15%). They look fine in photoshop at this size.
Enable the development of apps that use very large bitmaps. BitmapData objects are no longer limited to a maximum resolution of 16 megapixels (16,777,215 pixels), and maximum bitmap width/height is no longer limited to 8,191 pixels.Does this mean that limit does not exist anymore, or it just has been raised to a greater value (as it used to be in previous versions)?
View 1 RepliesBasically I want to know if there is a way to go from a zoomed in version of something, and then seeing the whole image in another frame. (By pressing a button)
Let's say there's a tree, I would bascially like (upon pressing a button which I can do) to zoom out and see the whole scenery. Is there a way I can do this without actually changing the size of the image?
I look at professional animations and notice the camera-like effects they manage to put into these animations. I'm wondering how I can do the same without having to just enlarge or reduce a movieclip across the stage. Is there any way to add a camera view on your animations or do you just have to bear with Flash's basic necessities?

View 1 RepliesI'm cutting my teeth in actionscript 3 on a game that has a character running through a world. So, I have set up my Hit Testing by using the bitmap data hit test method, since I figured my world is going to be destructible - it'd be nice to update the level and then redraw it and have the character interact with the new change. (That works beautifully) I am however; a bit confused as to how I have my hit Testing set up. I've been messing around with it, and it works for now - but I'm not sure why.. currently, I have a character set up by using a class I built and using a series of animations I created. So, this character has a walking and falling animation, etc. This is a movie clip.
Then there's a bitmap 'emptyBitmap' with bitmap data created - however; I never really added this as a child to the character. This is sized to the dimensions of my character. My level is created as a movielip, then it's drawn to a bitmap - when the level movieclip is changed, the bitmap redraws, and that's how this updates.
[Code]....
I know the topic of "duplicating" movieclips is a hot issue with the new virtual machine. Luckily, I understand the implications. I only am [currently] interested in duplicating a Bitmap. See, I load an image from an URL using 'flash.display.Loader.load', which is a non-blocking operation in Flash Player.However,I may use multiple copies of the loaded image (which is reported to be a Bitmap, naturally) in the display list at the same time.Hence, I naturally do not want to load the image from an URL every time, because I don't want to wait for a non-blocking call to complete. Nor do I need to - I mean one copy is already loaded, so it should be possible to just "duplicate" it, right?
My idea is to do use the bitmapData property of a Bitmap and pass it to the constructor of a new Bitmap object. I have not tried the following in action, but I want to hear whether any of you did and if the following would not work, what would:
Code:
var original_bitmap: Bitmap;
var copy_of_original_bitmap: Bitmap = new Bitmap(original_bitmap.bitmapData);
LiveDocs mention that the BitmapData being passed to a Bitmap constructor is "being referenced", which to me might suggest it cannot be used twice? There is also the BitmapData::clone() method, which I am not sure is applicable here or not.I know this is a lot of talk instead of just trying this out, but I test so much Flash Player code daily just to see "what works" (which should be documented instead by Adobe),
If I have a BitmapData that's already been drawn onto a Sprite. Is there a way to redraw the BitmapData onto a Sprites Graphics object without having to invoke beginBitmapFill and passing in the same BitmapData?
View 1 RepliesI'm working on a game, and to keep performance good, instead of addChild'ing 50 new sprites to the stage every second, I decided to have each player draw to their own bitmap, and then to the 'master' bitmap. This introduces an issue though: the second player would override all data the first player has put into to bitmap...My basic debugging proof of concept:
Code:
// bitmap test
import flash.display.Bitmap;

I have a bitmap which has several frames (packed along the horizontal axis). In order to render them I copy it to the backbuffer (larger bitmap) as follows:

In pure AS3, I have a pixelbender and a large bitmap. The pixelbender is configurable with a distance parameter to affect only a small area of the bitmap. The problem is that the pixelbender is executing over the whole bitmap. What would be the best way to update only the effected region of the bitmap? Given this config:

Is there a way to write a bitmap font right into the bitmap being desplayed? Mabey better worded: myBitmap.draw(image, t) draws a picture is there a way to draw text? I'm stuck even if its just a work around in some way I would like to know... (the current work around i have in my head is writing it in a movieclip turning that into bitmap data and drawing it... esentially creating a prototype answering my question... but a built in way would be easier probably).
View 2 RepliesIn AS3, I am loading a png from a zip file (nochump's zip library through ByteArray to Loader). The png can be up to 45k pixels wide but only 120 tall. This creates a problem in flash, as images can only be ~8000 pixels wide. A possible solution would be to split the images into 6 columns somehow. This would probably need to be done in the ByteArray state, because the limitation is in Bitmap and Loader.
View 2 RepliesI'm using Sandy to animate some objects in 3D. What I currently do to images which are EXPORTED in the library, I want to do to some bitmaps that I create using the DRAW technique. But it wont work :-(

Sandy doesn't seem to treat the 'created' bitmap the same as those that are exported from the library.
how to zoom into(hence zooming the map outward) set locations on a map, yet only those locations. I have a script which will zoom to your mouse location and also if I set the specific x and y, but still zooms when clicking on any other spot.
how do I zoom to only a set location and nothing else within a map/image.
I'd like to have my viewers mouse over any of the MovieClips on the scene and using the keyup / keydown have only that MC scale up or down. The scaling should only effect the moused over MC.Here is what I'm using for the scaling on one MC now...

View 2 RepliesI need some help with creating two buttons that zoom in and out of a movieclip.I have seen some tutorials and tried them, but got really confused.My problem is that the movieclip i want zoomed (in & out) is embedded inside another movieclip, so don't know how to refer to it.
also where should i declare the zoom function?? on the movieclip or on the main timeline?? the buttons that control the zoom in and zoom out are on the main timeline.
I am a really new flash beginner, and I am trying to write a site that can do this scaling in/out effect (Not an image) after when a new file is loaded into the page. I've googled and searched everywhere and couldn't find a possible solution to this.You can see the site, there is a zoom in and moving effect after a button/new page is loaded.

I've been racking my brain for the last week, and Im trying to use a map to zoom into certain city locations on the map. I believe each city locatio needs to be its own mc on the map, but don't know if I need to zoom into the coordinates of that mc? Here's what I have so far which zooms in on the appropritea x/y coordinates. Does anyone have any advice as how to change this or some other way to zoom into certain locations on a a map?

View 2 RepliesI am attempting to create a map that has the ability to zoom in and out as well as a click and drag feature.What I need help on is setting boundaries for the map. I can set them for the map when it is zoomed out, but they need to change as the map zooms in. I've been searching lots of forums lately to see if anyone can help, but no luck yet...

View 2 RepliesLetīs say I have a bitmap with 3 colors: red, green and blue (not mixed)
What if I wanted to make a bitmap of the red part of the first bitmap?
Iīd like to take the red pixels from first bitmap (and its positions), and make another bitmap.
I haven't worked very much with bitmap manipulation and I need to create an app that can find a bitmap (or a pattern of pixels really) in another bitmap.Are there other methods of doing it besides iterating through the pixels and using getPixel()?I'm of course looking for the most effective solution.
View 14 RepliesI have an image that is loaded into a scrollpane, which works fine. I have two buttons on the stage that I want the user to be able to click on in order to zoom in or out of the image that is loaded into the scrollpane. I can't seem to get these zoom buttons to work on the movieClip with the image that is loaded into the scrollpane.
Lastly, I don't know if this makes a difference, but this swf file is loaded upon release of another button on the root timeline of another swf.
I tried attaching a simplified version of this file to this message but even zipped I cant get it lower than 380kb. I can email it to anyone if they are interested.
Being adventurous I've got (all built in AS1) a masked area that you can view an image in. I'm trying to make it so you can zoom it in and drag it around, within the masked area, but the dragging locks it so that you can't drag it to the point where it leaves the edge of the masked area - if you follow. So when you're zoomed in, the iamge is never allowed to be dragged off so far that it's not filling the masked area. I've tried all sorts of code and the following code seemed to work well
Code:
// imageMC = the clip being scaled/repositioned/dragged
limitLeft = 0-Math.round(imageMC._width-maskWidth);
limitUp = 0-Math.round(imageMC._height-maskHeight);
limitRight = 0;
limitDown = 0;
imageMC.startDrag(false,limitLeft,limitUp,limitRight,limitDown);
But since the border size around the image is adjustable (it could be 2, it could be 20) and that eats into the area used to show the image (eg image is offset by imgBorderSize and shrunk by imgBorderSize*2) I tried to factor that into the formulas because once I turned the borders up the above formulas wasn't working right anymore
Code:
// imageMC = the clip being scaled/repositioned/dragged
limitLeft = 0-Math.round(imageMC._width-maskWidth)-(imgBorderSize*2);
limitUp = 0-Math.round(imageMC._height-maskHeight)-(imgBorderSize*2);
[code]....
I also tried to make it so when you zoom in, it zoomed in on the center of the area you can see through the mask, not on the top left - so repositioning is occuring alongside the scaling for the zoom to try and acheive that. Nothing clever, just :
Code:
// ZoomCalc range = 0-100;
// imageMC = the clip being scaled/repositioned/dragged
imageMC._xscale = 100+(2*ZoomCalc); // 100% - 300%
[code]....
When it zooms out however it'd be nice if it didn't snap back to center via the above code, eg if yu're zoomed into bottom left it would stay viewing bottom left as it zoomed out - yeah?If anyone has ANY input to this I'd greatfuly welcome it :/ If I manage to get it working then I have to figure out what my layer above all these layers with clickable buttons don't work as soon as I implemented the dragging of the image layer Is there no way to have buttons on something that is being dragged? ((
I'm panning on an image 2kx2k pixels. Panning is working wonderfully. I added a scrollRect to the image container and test the mouse position. I'm trying to add zoom:
Main Movie -> PanClass Object -> Image
Container -> External Swf.
I have a couple test buttons that simply allow a user to zoom in or out on that image. I figured that by zooming in (adjusting x and y scale) of the external swf that my movie would scale and continue to pan which it does, but it is still panning at the original size of the image. I need it to pan in the same size window as before but with the new scaled dimensions. I've included the panImage function.
I have 23 keywords in an XML file. In an area of 1600px by 500px there should be zooming in and out (for about 5,6,7 sec which depends on the number of letters) 10 keywords, randomly chosen from the XML file. Each keyword may appear in different spots in the area, it doesn't matter.
how to fix this zooming in and out keywords?
