IDE :: Changing The BitmapData.rectangle - X And Y Locations
May 2, 2009
I'm trying to take a 'snapshot' of a movieclip that i've got on the stage with "BitmapData" and then starting a "draw()" command on it. I'm able to get it drawing.. however.. it only takes the things from (0,0).( the upper left corner of the movieclip. Doing a trace on "BitmapData.rectangle" gives me it's X and Y coordinates .. and it's width and height..
How do I change the X and Y locations of the BitmapData for it to start the drawing from? As I have some stuff on the negative side of x.

I need to move a movie from let's say '_root' and put it into '_root.source.pages.ph' on level 0 in the current state that it is in....is there anyway you can do this using actionScript? DuplicateMovie starts the movie over at frame one and doesn't delete the old movie and swapDepths require the movie to have the same parent.

I'm using following code:
ActionScript Code:
var bd:BitmapData = new BitmapData(stage.stageWidth, stage.stageHeight);
bd.draw(stage, null, null, null, new Rectangle(tmpX - (tmpW/2), tmpY - (tmpH/2), tmpW,

I was working on some blitting code today and after profiling it found that I was creating 1000s of new rectangles. I was shocked because I only had 1 or 2 different new Rectangle() calls or I was using the .rect property of BitmapData.
I started commenting out huge swathes of code until I was left with this code in my sprite class:
canvas.bitmapData.copyPixels(_bitmapData, _bitmapData.rect, destination, null, null, true);
I cached the result of _bitmapData.rect at object creation and my thousand of new rectangle calls were suddenly gone from the profiler.
Why the heck would BitmapData.rect create a new rectangle? Is there a way to check the core libraries or something and confirm this is true?

Is there a way to apply a colorTransform to a BitmapData in a circle rather than in a rectangle?
Instead of erasing rectangular parts of an image by reducing the alpha channel as in the code below, I'd like to do it in circles.[code]...

After seeing the I've been told that movieclips aren't suited for games, what do you use? thread, I thought I would try to incorporate the approach into a game I'm currently programming to make it a little less processor intensive.
I have a giant movieclip of a football field, of which only 5-10% is shown at any given time. I'm guessing that flash still has to make calculations for the other 90-95% of the field every frame, even though it's of no use. From what I understand (not much), copyPixels seems like the perfect candidate for such a situation.
It seems simple, but I'm having trouble actually implementing it, and I'm not sure which actions are needed and what might be introducing unnecessary work. I have a movieclip (mc_field, exported for as), but if it would save the processor some effort,I could easily save this as a bitmap and export that for actionscript. The width and height of the final product (bitmap/BitmapData) will be Stage.width, Stage. height,respectively,and I can handle making the calculations of the x,y coordinates of the rectangle cropping (which part of the source bitmap I want to crop).I'm sure it's only 3 lines of code, and I know that there are a few examples online, but for some reason.
Say, for frame one, I want to take the field (either mc_field or bm_field) and copy 500px x 300px, starting at 140,230 from the source bitmap to mc_container.Then, for frame two, I want to copy 500px x 300px starting at 240,540 from the source bitmap to mc_container.

I have a rectangle drawn
Code:
line1.clear();
line1.beginFill(0xFFFF00);
line1.lineStyle(4, 0x000000);
line1.moveTo(_root.point1._x, _root.point1._y);
line1.lineTo(_root.point2._x, _root.point2._y);
line1.lineTo(_root.point3._x, _root.point3._y);
line1.lineTo(_root.point4._x, _root.point4._y);
line1.lineTo(_root.point1._x, _root.point1._y);
line1.endFill();
line1._alpha=10;
updateAfterEvent();
After the rectangle is drawn I have a button that inactivates the points. I can now change the alpha of the rectangle but not the color. Is there a way to change the color of the rectangle line1? I have tried with
line1._color=0x000000;
But it doesn't work.

Anwyay, what I want is for the user to hover over an object, then there is this a rectangle to the left that I want to change size. Is there an easy way to do this? I want the rectangle to become greater in width but maintain the same hieght/stroke and everything.Also I don't want it to just "pop" to the new size I want it to ease to the new size. Does that make sense? Like I want the user to see the rectangle grow in size depending on what object they hover over.

I have a rectangle and I want to change its border colour on mouse over, I have found a way to make it work but that redraws the whole rectangle, i am wandering is it possible to only manipulate border colour without redrawing rectangle?
PHP Code:

rect.graphics.beginFill(uint("231f1c"), 1);
rect.graphics.drawRect(0 , 0 , 60 ,10 );
rect.graphics.endFill();

I'm blitting a map onto the screen with tiles.. and the source of these tiles are BitmapData objects.I know you can change the alpha of a bitmap.. but I'm not too sure if it can be done on the BitmapData object itself.I want some tiles to have less alpha than others. Applying the alpha to the Bitmap.. makes everything on the current screen have an alpha.. but I only need one tile of it..

For those of you still with me, I am tasked with making some scrollable content in Flash. Load in a TextFile using LoadURL(), then display it. To get the text, we've written our own class TextFieldExtended, which is basically just there to give the textfile location to the constructor and then have the class do the various steps of getting it and loading it for you.So I needed to get a Scrollbar, which I got hereThe thing is, it works with Sprites.After trying to get it to accept TextFieldExtended, I bumped into a block, since the scrollbar relied heavily on a Sprite property that TextFieldExtended didn't have or could have.
So I tried adding the TextFieldExtended instance to a Sprite instance using addchild.A problem occurs here that I do not know how to handle. It seems that a Rectangle is drawn and the Text is drawn on that. I say this because the scrollbar moves the Rectangle up and down a bit, but the text doesn't scroll, just the Rectangle it is positioned in and the text then moves along with it.My question: can this be fixed, or is does this implementation of scrollbars need a lot of adaptations before this is possible?

I am trying to convert a rectangle(actually multiple rectangles) to a curved rectangle. I think it should be pretty easy but I guess i am stupid. Basically I would have a start position and stop position (many of these), and they would be converted to curved rectangles and follow in a cicrle around.

I would like to create a rectangle inside of a rectangle, starting approximately 15% inward from the right side of the other rectangle.
I know how to create rectangles with:
Code:
var newHotRect:MovieClip = new MovieClip();
newHotRect.graphics.beginFill(0x00FF00);
newHotRect.graphics.drawRect(0, 0, 100, 100);
addChild(newHotRect);
But how would I make another rectangle on top of that (the black one pictured) that is approximately 15% from the right?
I toyed around with .right, and .bottomright with no success. Can anyone lead me in the right direction? or even finding the x and y of the upper right or bottom right side of a rectangle?

how to respond when a rectangle hits another rectangle? I already know how to detect the collision, I just don't know how to respond to it. I'm just trying making a simple side-scrolling platform game where I have platforms I can walk on and bump against on all sides. I have searched everywhere and just can't find the tutorials I'm looking for.

I am trying to use the reflect class from "http://pixelfumes.blogspot.com/2007/03/reflection-class-v3-with-source .html" but I keep getting this error:
ArgumentError: Error #2015: Invalid BitmapData.
at flash.display::BitmapData()
at Reflect()
at Site_fla::GalleryPage_29/loadThumbs()
at Site_fla::GalleryPage_29/sortXML()

btw, first I used assigned thumbContainer as the mc argument (outside the loadThumbs() function) and it worked but not exactly what I wanted... because I thought it is supposed to update when the movieclip is animated but it actually didn't... when I use a scroller, only the thumbs that are first loaded to the stage get the reflection..

I've been using BitmapData.copyPixels() to draw graphics onto a canvas (Bitmap).I need to rotate the resulting graphics without the use of draw() because it's vastly slower.How can I rotate the target graphic? I'm assuming that there might be a formula or library that I can use which will first reorganize the pixels that make up a graphic based on an origin (point) and radians.I'm pretty certain that I'm not capable of creating such logic, so if there are any known libraries that do this, that would be awesome.I'd like to achieve something similar to XNA's SpriteBatch.Draw() method, which accepts rotation as its 5th argument.

Problem is, that everytime I update the view, more memory is used.When I write image = new BitmapData();, does it store the previously created BitmapData's in memory? Do I have to flush the memory somehow before I draw my second picture in BitmapData?Example:

I am having an issue with using BitmapData.draw(stage). I am getting the following error:
SecurityError: Error #2123: Security sandbox violation: BitmapData.draw: file:///C|/Documents%20and%20Settings/bla...bla...bla.swf cannot access null. No policy files granted access. Here is a portion of my code:
var bd:BitmapData = new BitmapData(2800, 2100); bd.draw(stage);//this is where the error happens All of the files referenced (.xml/.jpg/.swf) are located in the same local folder as the main .swf. How do I get around this error? The main objective is to print the stage using PrintJob(). I am using Flash Professional CS5.5 and publishing to Flash 10.0/10.1.

I've also created a scroller so when you click the arrows the map scrolls left to right except I want to make it so that when you click the arrow right for example when the map gets to the far right edge the arrow greys out (to signify that you can no longer move to the right) It's complicated to explain so here's the assets in a zip file: [URL]

there are two icons that become visible when a mc is selected, a small crosshair and a small circle. Sometimes they're in the same place, sometimes not. I understand the small crosshair is the origin, where all transforms originate from, but what's the circle, and what does it mean when the two icons are in different locations?
