Actionscript 3 :: Replacing Bitmap In A Movieclip In Flash?
Nov 14, 2011
But now the tracks are objects in an array, that will grow larger and larger (and slow down the game over time). How can I paint them on the level bitmap? And how to reload the bitmap when you restart?Have searched for an answer for days but have not found one.I know how to combine a bitmap and add it to the stage, but not how to replace it in the movie clip object:
var newLevel:BitmapData = new BitmapData(grassLevel.width, grassLevel.height);
var newDebree:BitmapData = new BitmapData(debree.width, debree.height);
newLevel.draw(grassLevel);
I have a lot of bitmaps in my library, used by several movieclips.Now I got a new bitmap, and I want it to replace all the other bitmaps.
For example, I have 20 movieclips that internally use 20 different bitmaps. Now I want to replace all these different bitmaps to a single new bitmap.I don't want to go after each movieclip and replace manually the instances of the bitmaps, because there is a large number of them.
I am trying to replace a movie clip image with a bitmap image and now the code to fire the image(missile) doesn't work. I get these errors:1119: Access of possibly undefined property dx through a reference with static type flash.display:Bitmap.1119: Access of possibly undefined property dy through a reference with static type flash.display:Bitmap
I've got music player and one of the controls is a movieclip which acts as a PLAY and PAUSE button. What I would like is to swap the image of this movieclip everytime it's clicked. How would I go about doing this?
Here's my code...
ActionScript Code: playPause_btn.addEventListener(MouseEvent.CLICK, onPlayPause); function onPlayPause(event:MouseEvent):void{

I'm creating a platforming game, and I have a fun little water thing set up. My goal is to be able to drag a water object from the library to the scene, and have the water physics kick in when the game starts.
To do this, I made the water object a black line, because width is necessary to know how wide I'd like the pool to be. Within the class I have a heightmap, so then I can connect all the heights together with lines using the drawing API.
The problem is, I can't get the original black line to disappear while still displaying the new lines and points Setting the alpha to 0 will permanently make everything invisible. I'm kind of new to this so maybe it's a dumb question.
Hi there I am still a novice to Actionscript 3 and would like some help please. I am creating a grid style image gallery that is XML driven. What I need help with is getting my images to, at random times, swap out with another image. Each image is added inside a Movieclip and can be unloaded. What I need is to load another random image into the now empty MovieClip. Hope this is ok description.
I would like to be able to draw a simple box as a background/placeholder, dress it up with buttons and movie clips at design time, and at runtime call a function to replace the simple box with a new design. How would I go about doing this? I have a graphic design that is too complicated to make with flash. So i made a piece of actionscript that can restyle any existing movieclip. This piece of code works. It basically gets the coordinates of the specified mc, creates a new one in it's place and deletes the original. Unfortunately this also removes any nested movieclips and buttons and breaks animation tweens of this mc. So if the original mc would have a button on it and animates from left to right, the new one doesn't. mc.clear(); looked very promising, but it only clears stuff you put on it at runtime while I need to clear the stuff from design-time. (= the simple box drawing object)Creating a movieclip with the same name, at the same depth doesn't seem to work. oldbox.parent.createEmptyMovieClip(oldbox._name, oldbox.getDepth()); The old movieclip keeps existing and neither of them animates.So I'm searching for a way to replace a movieclip or clear it's content at runtime.

I am developing a Paint Application is AS3. What I am trying is to basically mimick the MS Paint. I am using vector graphics to implement tools like pencil,line,curve and bitmap to implement bucket tool,spray and eraser. But I faced a problem. While its possible to draw bitmap over vector its not possible to draw vector over bitmap if every drawing is in the same layer.
So the idea that I have is to make it into two layers Top layer where the vector drawing is done. In the bottom layer layer after each vector drawing on MOUSE_UP a bitmap copy of the top layer is made and kept on the bottom layer. Keep the top layer fully transparent so that bottom layer is always visible. Things like flood-fill(bucket tool), spray and eraser will be directly applied to bottom layer. After each vector is drawn on MOUSE_UP the top layer will be cleared but everything will be visible because it has been re created in the bottom layer and the top layer is full transparent.
My questions are: Is there any flaw in my logic. How to make a bitmap copy of the movie clip on top. I tried but maybe I am stupid it does not work. The name of the MovieClips are topLayer_mc and bottomLayer_mc. What is need to have is to have a function to create a bitmap copy of topLayer_mc on every MOUSE_UP of pencil,line and add it to bottomLayer_mc. I mean create a bitmap copy of topLayer_mc on every MOUSE_UP of pencil, line and add it to bottomLayer_mc. A function will do.
This is my first question here :D, first sorry about my english. My question is basically how can i save a flash Movie Clip to FLV. The Movie Clip is generated by users and it has various sounds and animations and i need to save an FLV to send it to Youtbue. What have I tried: I found some question here about using an Alchemy Lib that I am using to grab the Movie Clip frame to frame and save it to Bitmap. The Alchemy Lib converts those frames to FLV like a charm and supports saving chunks of sound using ByteArray.
In this situation my Problem is, how can i grab the sound of Movie Clip to send it to Alchemy Lib? Iīve tried using:SoundMixer.computeSpectrum(sndData, false, 2); Witch returns me a byteArray in sndData variable but is useless since itīs used for render Audio Wave forms on screen. Thougth aboud using Sound.extract(); but i believe the sound class is used only for one MP3 sound and I need to grab the mixed sounds generated by Movie Clip.
I've got a code, which caches loaded resources (both images and swfs) and saves its bytes to flash SharedObject:
var cache:SharedObject = SharedObject.getLocal('dataCache'); cache.data[url] = (loader.contentLoaderInfo as LoaderInfo).bytes;
When there's a query to load new resource, the code checks if the resource is in cache and then loads its bytes:
var loader:FlexLoader = new FlexLoader(); // handlers skipped var lc:LoaderContext = new LoaderContext(); lc.applicationDomain = new ApplicationDomain(ApplicationDomain.currentDomain);
I have a MovieClip inside a stage that is mostly(not accurately) centered to the middle of the stage.
When I try to save the MovieClip into a bitmap in order to upload it to facebook, I either get a cropped image or a white image(blank). Here is the code for generating the bitmap:
var source:BitmapData = new BitmapData(board.width, board.height); source.draw(board); var bitmap:Bitmap = new Bitmap(source);
The result I am getting is the yellow area in the following image:
So I'm Bitmaping some heavy stuff to try bring down the [pre-render] and [render] which is quite high according to FlashBuilder's profiling. I thought this was going well until I realised that as soon as you change a MovieClip to a Bitmap, you lose the pixel based accuracy of the mouse move events (Over, Out, Move...), all your left with is the entire bounding box of the Bitmap, something which is less than desirable. I've got a game where many Bitmapped assets would be on top of each other in a scene, on the stage, arranged in various ways and need to have that pixel accuracy moving between each one and have exhausted my efforts as to how to achieve the same mouse move results with the Bitmapped guys as normal.
This, [URL], is a FLA which shows this operation, and you can see how it works here, [URL]. When it loads up, both items on stage are drawn Shapes, encapsulated in MovieClips, both that get a glow, if you hover over them. If you click the stage at all, the purple guy gets turned into a Bitmap and now, his 'hit area', when it comes to MouseEvents is his whole bounding box and you can only get through to the back green item at the edge slivers.
I'm also tracing the pixel which the mouse is over, so I can clearly tell when the mouse is over a transparent area, it's 0, but how can I tell the event to forward itself on down the chain to the green MovieClip?
Below is how it's now pretty much working for me,
var bitmap:Bitmap = this['bitmap']; var shouldMouseOver:Boolean = bitmap.bitmapData.getPixel(event.localX - bitmap.x, event.localY - bitmap.y); if(shouldMouseOver)
[Code].....
I shut off mouseEnabled for my item, when I know it's wrong, then I search for another item that properly fits the bill and if there is one, send an Event to that and break. If that one's also wrong, it'll do the same again, but each time taking themselves out of the loop.
This does work exactly how I want it to, but I'd always prefer to keep things like globalToLocal and looping, and reading from arrays for not frequently updated methods like listeners to MOUSE_MOVE. Is there a more efficient way to do this?
I have a 50x50 fixed rectangle in the center of the stage. I am using this rectangle as a "hit area" to copy pixels of a bitmap that is draged by the user to line up an area of the image he/she would like to crop.I have preview of the hit area displayed while the bm is being dragged which works well. However, once the bitmap is scaled using the slider component the preview area no longer reflects what is in the hit area.
Code below:
function mouseDownHandler(e:MouseEvent):void { // Contraint #8 - Define drag bounds[code].....
automatically replacing a flash file with a jpeg, for non flash users.
I also am looking for some scrpt which tells users if they haven't got a/the correct flash plug in. My site uses a flash 5 file as well as flash mx 2004.
There's a SWF file on one page that, when you click on a 'Start' button loads some image. The URL to this image is passed as a SWFObject variable. I would like to change this image to one I have uploaded on my host. have tried setting a breakpoint on the line that pushes the image URL variable to the object and setting my URL, but the image wouldn't load because of cross-domain policy.Now I am thinking of writing a simple c# proxy which will return my image instead of the real one when Flash requests it .To sum it up, I want to replace an image that SWF loads from a constant URL to a custom image of mine. Decompiling is not an option.
I am working on a project in which I am suppose to maintain an array of movieclips, and I can also convert the movieclips into bitmap data. so I would like to know which one is the best to use either maintaining movieclip array or bitmap data array .
I'm creating a Flash movie that loads some XML containing details of some text and a image URL, that needs to replace a existing MovieClip in a Flash movie. Is there a way in Flash to replace a existing MovieClip or to update it so that the updated/new display object keeps the original look of the original display object and any Tweening for the original display object still works we the new or updated display object.
Here is the code I'm using to load this: import flash.events.IOErrorEvent; import flash.net.URLLoader; import flash.net.URLRequest; import flash.events.Event; import flash.display.DisplayObject; [Code] .....
I am wokring on a movie and I want to tile a movieclip instead of a bitmap in AS3. I have figured out masking and the bitmap tiling in AS3, but am still encountering trouble finding a good solution for simply tiling an MC symbol across a set width and height in AS3.
way to turn a movieclip with a complex shape into a bitmap so I can do a BitmapData.hitTestseeing what are the non transparent pixels colliding between two bitmaps?his is about a complex hitTest. (Yes I didnt finished yet )Im trying to make two movieips turn into two bitmaps so I can realize if theres a way tosee if one of the first bitmapīs non transparent pixel is colliding with the second bitmapīs non transparent pixel
I am having ongoing issue with using addChild(). Everything else works. The code below now loads all thirty five images and the addChild command is used directly on the Bitmap in initHandler in the ButtonClass.as excerpt below. Now I commented out the line that I was going to use to add these Bitmaps as children of the MovieClip in placeThumbnail function in the FLA. So I believe the only problem I have left is finding a way to get the Bitmaps to be children of the correct MC //This code excerpt is from ButtonClass.as
public function imgLoad(buttonMC:MovieClip) { imgLoader = new Loader(); imgLoader.contentLoaderInfo.addEventListener(Event.COMPLETE, finished_loading); imgLoader.contentLoaderInfo.addEventListener(Event.INIT, initHandler); var link=buttonMC.entry_thumbnail; [Code] .....
I'm trying to add a bitmap to a movie clip in code. However, I'm having trouble getting the bitmap location to go where I want it because it's inside the movieclip and it just shows up at 0,0 of the movieclip instead of the coordinates I want it to be: Here's some of code so you can see what I mean:
imageBitmapData3 = new Lander(63, 53); _player = new Bitmap(imageBitmapData3); _gameLevel.addChild(_player);_player.x = 145;_player.y = 90; -Instead of showing up at 145, 90 It just shows up at the movieclip, _gamelevel, 0,0.
how I could get it to do what I want it to do? I want to add it inside the mc because I need everything to move with the _gameLevel background when I move it.
I am building a design your own jewelry, program for a jewelry company. what I want to do in theory is..
after the user finishes, convert the jewelry_mc into a Bitmap, send the bitmapdata byte array to PHP, then on the php side turn the Byte array back into an actual image and mail it in the confirmation page to the user.
I am sure im not the first to want to email an image dynamically created in flash before?
I'm loading bitmaps dynamically using AS3 and I'd like to fit/tile them within a movieclip. (like a texture but in 2D)
However, my movieclip is not rectangular and everything I tried resulted in the texture getting out of the boundaries of my movieclip and being displayed as a big rectangle.
