I rotating some bitmap data in AS3. When ever I start rotating the bitmap the corners get cut off. I'm trying figure out what size the bitmap should be to fit the newly rotated bitmap.
[Code]...
it is more or less like this: i have some things drawn into a container sprite; those things may include text and other stuff. then i create a bitmapdata and i render all that stuff into the bitmapdata, so when rendering it does not slow down too much, and i put that bitmapdata into a bitmap, and that bitmap into another sprite (this is because i pass it as parameter to a function set to receive a sprite, not a visual object). when i rotate the sprite that contains the bitmap, the picture looks kinda blocky, and the text appears very ugly, specially when there is rotation, even if there is no angle yet (probably due to rounding it may take as different than zero), the text appears with some lines that crosses it,probably due to rounding problems. i saw there was an option to smooth the bitmap when scaling though i have not read too much into it yet, i have also thought about adding a blur filter if rotation != 0, but i believe it would be making a mess out of it. It is working fine now, but it looks ugly when rotating, how do i set up a sprite so it antialiases when rotating?
View 1 RepliesI have a bitmap which has several frames (packed along the horizontal axis). In order to render them I copy it to the backbuffer as follows:
ActionScript Code:
public override function copyToBackBuffer(db:BitmapData):void

This code
trace ("--before-- "+sprite.width + "," + sprite.height);

Obviously there are 9 instances. So 18 lines output. note that the width and height getting swapped randomly for some only.
I'm trying to create a website for my wife. Everything is completed and it looks great. The only problem I'm having is that when my wife goes to view the websit on her computer (much smaller size). The page cuts off and there's no scroll bar feature which I thought was like a fixture on websites. I've been looking for hours on how to add a scroll bar to my entire website .. like the standard browser scroll bar but I can't seem to find it anywhere.
I have two files, one is the index.fla file which i used to create my page in using Flash CS5 and the other is the index.html file which I can edit in Dreamweaver.
I'm having this annoying proble with BitmapData. I try to turn a movieclip into a bitmap, but there is always white space to the right and bottom. At the top and left, it is obvious that part of the movieclip was cut off. However, the width and height of the bitmap are correct. In other words, white space takes up where the rest of my movieclip should go. About 30% of the bitmap is white.I have a method that creates a grid based on an array. The Wall class extends MovieClip. Each wall is a 70 x 70 movie clip that looks like a stone (its x and y are established within the class itself).[code]I have messed around with changing the registration using a class I found online, but it didn't fix anything. In fact, changing the registration made no difference. Also, I have called addChild(walls), and everything is displayed correctly. But for performance reasons, I need to make it a bitmap.
View 2 RepliesI just purchased and installed FMS for my music streaming service. I got the streaming set up fine so that it streams mp3s using the VOD application, but quite regularly the stream will just cut out and the VOD application in the administration section will just disappear and restart with 0 clients. It doesn't even happen when I have that many connected clients, at times it's happened with just 15 users, and i've had Red5 running over 200 clients at a time.
View 23 RepliesI'm writing a flex app, which must record an audio and then playback. It records just fine, I can hear the flv on the server, but when it comes to the playback it cuts the end a little bit, and each time I ask to reproduce again it cuts a little bit more. I guess it's something related to buffer management, but I don't know exactly.
Here's the code I'm using to playback. It is called from a mediator:
var streamPlayClient:Object = new Object();
this.stream.client = streamPlayClient;
streamPlayClient.onPlayStatus = function(infoObject:Object):void {
if (infoObject.code == "NetStream.Buffer.Flush") {
stopPlayback();
}} this.stream.play("flv:" + this.streamName);
I have a problem with the TabNavigator. The labels of the tabs are getting truncated and once the user places their mouse over the tab it redraws again. Is there anyway to redraw the label of the tab programmatically?
View 2 Repliesgot a little flex application where the content is zoomable.first of all some code

The zoom just works fine by changing the value from 1 up to 3 with a slider. Midpoint of the zoom is the center of the container (map).My problem: when i zoom, the scroller cuts a part of the groups. it zooms out of the window?!
I've attached some images for reference, but as I make my window larger the bottom of my stage gets cut off. I'm working off of a website template and am not particularly sure how the elastic function works. I've had some success changing the code to
Code:
Stage.align = "T"; and Stage.scaleMode = "showAll";
but then there are just solid blocks on either side of the background image that don't look very good.
so the bottom will be locked in place and not get cut off when resizing the window.
mainpage, Frame 1
Code:
Stage.align = "TL";
Stage.scaleMode = "noScale";
_quality = "BEST";

I have a movieclip on my main timeline. Inside of the movie clip are a few goodies which load in a sound clip. I'm using this code to play the sound:
Code:
// create sound object
loop = new Sound(this);
loop.attachSound("muzak");
[Code]....
This works great, until the main timeline is navigated backwards. For example I have web pages on frames 146,147,148, 149, etc... The menu links go to anyone of the given frames/pages. If I navigate so that the timeline is advancing, the muzak keeps playing. However, if I'm on frame 150 and use a menu button which takes us back to 147 (or anything before 150 on the timeline), the sound quits.
I have a rotating menu that sets the selected button to the 3:00 position once clicked. I need the labels for the buttons to stay in the upright position as they rotate with the button. I have attached an image. Anyone know of an action script that would keep the labels upright?
View 8 RepliesI'm displaying a 720x1280 image in a 720x1280 SWF. My screen is 1366x768.The visualization is awful since my image is cut off (although internally the image's size is still 720x1280 when I do trace() ).Everything is suitably displayed on Firefox.
View 2 RepliesI made a movie in Flash CS3. The exported SWF shows that the right hand side of some of my letterforms (made from a non-converted font) are clipped off. Switching fonts produces similar results. Is there some glitch in the program that I am no aware of?
View 9 RepliesFor some reason, if you add an image to htmlText, like the following:
myText.htmlText = "<img src='"+dataProvider.bodyImage.getUrl('original')+"' align='left' />" + dataProvider.bodyText;
The image will be successfully added to the htmlText, but it seems to measure the sizes completely wrong. At times, the actual text (dataProvider.bodyText) will have part 'hidden' under the image. At other times, there are anywhere from 1 to 4 lines cut off at the bottom. However, if you select the text and drag your mouse down, you can see the bottom lines. It appears the text is all there, but the mx:Text component is not including the image in the textHeight, so it doesnt resize the componenet to the correct size.
My mx:Text's htmlText is the following:
mainText.htmlText = "<img src="breadmaker.png" width="339" height="275" vspace="0" hspace="0" />" + "Lorem Ipsum is simply dummy tex......(more here)"
However, the result looks like the following:ScreenshotAs you can tell, it cuts off the first few characters in the text after the image tag (Lorem Ipsum is sim), but it is only because the image is full width. If I change the img tag to width="200", it shows the text floating to the right.However, as you can tell with a full width image (because the Text component's width is 339), it seems the text is still floating to the right, but it's hidden off to the right side of the image.
I have a series of mp4 videos (H.236 @ 22 fps) streaming from an akamai FMS serve via RTMP protocol in flash player 9+ with AS 3.My goal is to create client side playlists that smoothly switch from one stream to another. I am creating these playlists using a series of netStream. play (filename,start,len) methods. If I don't use an offset for the start parameter, then the stream switches smoothly from one video to the next with not noticeable jump or jerkiness. However if I introduce a start offset, say a few seconds in, I start to see a quick little hiccup or pause between the seams as it switches from one playlist stream to the next.

Using CSS, I can set the corner radius of the top corners of a tab in a tabnavigator:
<mx:Style>
.tabstyle {
corner-radius: 10;
} </mx:Style>
<mx:TabNavigator tabStyleName="tabstyle" />
However, I also want the bottom corners to have a radius.
When I use <s:Rect> to create a rectangle, I use radiusX to get rounded corners. Problem is all are the same roundedness. Is there something similar to Rect that lets me control the radius for each corner separately? If not, what's the best way to create this from scratch? graphics library or what?

I'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.

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),
I am working on a draggable triangle in AS3 and the corners must be interactive. To each corner a bitmap will be attached (in my example for now it's just a name of a city). When dragging a specific corner, the bitmap/cityname (attached to it) should fade in from 0 to 100 alpha. If the bitmap/cityname won't reach 100 of alpha, when Mouse Up, then it should fade back out to 0 opacity. If it does reach 100 alpha when Mouse Up, then it should stay that way. However, if another corner is dragged, then the cityname which is currently at 100 opacity should fade out again. Well I've got the draggable triangle figured, I've got the corners citynames appearing and disappearing when they don't reach 100 alpha. What I can't get to figure out is the last bit - the cityname currently at 100 opacity fading back out to 0 when a different corner is dragged. Hope it's at least a little understandable. I'm not sure my code is perfect (this is my first time in AS3) so don't mind if something is not the way.[code]
