If you have an image whose sides are even for example 48 x 24 you may do this and you are just fine:
matrix.translate(-24, -12);
matrix.rotate(Math.PI);
matrix.translate(24, 12);
But if you have an image of size something like 49 x 25, then there is a problem with those odd pixels, how to compute when and where to add or remove those odd pixels so image gets allways perfectly rotated?
I can obtain the number of characters in a string using the 'length' action script command. However, I need to know the pixel width of this 'length'?
View 1 RepliesI'd like to know a way to measure the real length of a text string in pixels. The problem is that every character has a different width.The length property informs us of how many characters does the string have...but how do we measure the pixels (x space) in a precise way?

View 1 Replieshow i could make the transition from my last photo to the first photo a more correct transition. maybe my explanation was difficult to understand?? take a look at these two sites(owendawsonphotography.com / owendawsonpga.com) and look at the rotating slide show. when the last image fades out it goes to complete white and the first image comes in at full opacity. I want it to look like the other transitions in the slideshow.

View 1 RepliesAble to direct me in the right direction as to how to go about adding preloaders for images on a rotating menu.
I am not after any kind of complex animation loader, just simple text that says 'Image Loading'
I have a few thoughts which are;
1.create moveclip with the words 'loading Images' some how load this in the background of main holder that loads images in so that when image loads it loads over the text 'Image loading' technically not a loader just text in the background.
2.create moveclip with the words 'loading Images' that when image loads in the text is replaced by image that loaded in? [code]...
I built one of those click-and-drag rotating images. basically you click on it and drag left to right and it will scroll through a series of images in the timeline to make it appear like the object in the images is rotating he problem is I want to be able to click-and-drag the mouse up-and-down, AND left-and-right. Right now I can program it to do one or the other, but not both. if i put left,right,up,AND down in the code it ignores one or the other.
Code:
photos.stop();
var startX:Number;

I want to create the same effect that is on this website: [URL]. There are four links below the rotating images. when you mouse over each button the image changes. It changes over top of the previous one. When I create this effect, it seems to jump back to the background and then it fades to the image. I want the image to fade over top of whatever image is already there.
I tried using loadMovie and have each image load on top of the other level but the only problem is that once a movie is loaded on top of another you can't call that previous image up again. It's like once you load level 10 over level 5 then level 5 can't be seen again until you refresh the page. Is there a way to just tell it to loadMovie over the current level without actually calling that level?

How can I swap out the images & the links based upon what site it is showing on in terms of a template. Currently we utilize one main template across 50+ sites & each of them would like 4 different images/links rotating - is this possible and if so how in the world would I do it?

I have multiple angle images of an object and I want the result to be the same as the link here. [URL] I don't know flash at all but it seems like there would be a simple program (even if I have to pay) that allows me to import the images, set the rotation speed and other settings and then hit export to .flv file or something. Does anyone know of a program to do this, or a simple method?

I am having a quality issue when rotating images dynamically loaded into movieclips. I am not resizing them. I am only rotating them. I have tried applying smoothing to the bitmaps, but that has not helped.
View 2 RepliesI am following the 3d flash panels tutorial located here. My ActionScript matches exactly to the tutorial at 11:54 excepting the document size because it is different in my document.
Code: Select allpackage [code]..........
I have the TweenLite com folder in the folder that the FLA is located in, and my document class is named PhotoPanels as in the movie, but my images are not rotating as they do in the tutorial at this point.
I am creating an animation for a client.I have images of a statue from different angles.I am rotating the images in '3D', similar to a merry-go-round or how the planets circle the sun.I have five separate images, all separated equally by degrees on the circle path (orbit, if you will)
Code:
onClipEvent(load){
y=200;
speed=1;[code].....
Each image is on its own layer on the stage inside the same swf/fla. I'm using the actionscript to animate them. It works, however, I'm having issues with swapping with layers.Basically, imagine that the images are like planets orbiting the sun (the sun would be the center point of the z axis). Right now, the layers are determined by the stacking order I have in the fla file. So, when the first images moves in front of the 'sun' - it should be the top layer, and then, when it circles behind the 'sun' - it should go to the bottom layer. I need the image to be the top layer for 180 degrees, and then the bottom layer (when it goes behind the 'sun') for 180 degrees.
The image also needs to be behind the next images starting to circle the front of the 'sun'. (remember, I'm using the word 'sun' as the center of the z axis).The above code is placed on the instance of the first movie clip which contains the first statue image.Similar code (with different angles and different swapDepths statements) is placed on each instance for the remaining four movie clips. I have 5 total. (see link for swf file)I do need to keep the stacking order somewhat intact, based on the order the statues rotate - but I do need for each one to go to a different lower layer when going behind the 'sun' and then moving up to a higher layer when going in front of the 'sun'.
I am looking for a fairly simple image comparison method in AS3. I have taken an image from a web cam (with no subject) passed it in to bitmap data, then a second image is taken (this time with a subject) to compare this data, from these two images I would like to create a mask from the pixels that match on both bitmaps. I have been scratching my head for a while, and I am not really making any progress. Could any one point me in the right direction for pixel comparison method, something like getPixel32()
View 2 RepliesI need to include a feature on an app I'm building that allows the user to upload an image and manipulate it in various ways including adding text. This is basically a way to design custom printed merchandise as is already found on many websites and will be overlayed on a background image of whatever is being customised e.g. T-Shirt.The basic requirements are: resize, crop and rotate image against background. Overlay and change position/colour/style of text against image. Preview the final design against the background.
I know that flash is possibly the best solution but I was really hoping to avoid it and use Jquery instead. While there is plenty out there for resizing and cropping images with javascript there doesn't seem to be anything that fits my needs.
I have a 100x100px image. I want to get 1 pixel vertical line from x- 1 to 100. How can I do that?
View 7 RepliesI'm looking to create a rotating set of images, simulated to look 3D... that can rotate either left or right, reactive to someones mouse location.
The path of the images would look like a flat oval, and as the images came to the forefront, they would be at full scale, have the lowest position (high _y), have the highest depth (appear in front of everything else) and be dead center _x.
As they slide left or right, they would reduce everything by a relative 50% to the final shift (scale, _y, and depth) until they got to the end, moving in an upward arc following the oval path. When they got to the end, and kept rotating beyond (move in the opposite _x. but appear to follow the flow of the arc), continuing to decrease in scale, _y, and depth.
Let's say I have array foo and a positive integer y, where foo.length > y.I want to remove elements from foo so that foo.length becomes y (or very close to it).Also, I need to preserve the first and last element of foo. The indices of the removed elements must be spaced apart as equally as possible. Foo can be sliced, or it can be used to create a new array.
Example: if foo = [a,b,c,d,e,f,g,1,2,3,4,5] and y = 6, then trimmedfoo could be [a,c,e,g,2,4,5] or maybe [a,c,e,2,4,5], but not [a,c,e,g,2,4] because the last element of foo is missing.
how to do this
function foo(x:*, ...args):* {
}
function bar(x:*, ...args):* {[code].....
how to expand args ? when I call bar(1,2,3), I wish it call foo(1,2,3), but it call foo(1,[2,3])
Is there any way to determine if a (anonymous) function has defined the ...(rest) parameter in ActionScript 3? I know there's the function.length property, but it only counts the explicitly defined arguments.
