I want to store the bitmap data from _sampleTile in array, but I was wondering how to increase the performance. If I do it like this:
var _sampleTile:BitmapData;
var _arrayLenght:int = _tileClipArray.length;

Here's a piece of script I would like to condense into a single loop where the number of instances created would be dynamic:

why does this not working?
for (i=0; i<=numVoices; i++) {
var this["voice"+i]:Sound= new Sound();

I have created a banner in Flash CS5. It starts with a blank stage and an image tweens on to stage from the right edge. The image stays on the stage for a few seconds and a 2nd image tweens on to the stage and completly covers the 1st image. Similarly 3rd and 4th image cover the preceeding images. When I play the animation, before the 1st image covers the stage, there is nothing prior to it. When the 2nd starts tweening over the stage, the 1st image is still there.
Similarly for the 3rd and the 4th images, there is an image covering the stage. But after 1st loop completes, the animation goes back to a blank stage and the 1st image starts tweening on to the stage. Iwould like to have the 4th image stay on the stage while the 1st image starts tweeing on to the stage. I have started using Flash recently and am not very skilled with the program or ActionScript.
Exactly this doesn't work but is there a way to do it?
Code:
for ( var i = 0; i < 10; i++ )
{
var ["object"+i]:MyClass = new MyClass();
// would create object1, object2, object 3, object 4, ...

Macromedia says "...Avoid attaching code in a object...". The question is: how to integrate this code to the code of the main timeline? This is the code inside a the MovieClip named "dot":

clearInterval(countDown);

I need to make a dragable button but I need this object to stay clear from other objects on the stage so to act like pushing away other objects on the stage.
View 7 RepliesI have function init, which runs on the creationComplete of the application. The init calls get_login_share_object funtion, in which objects are created, which are null.
Now my problem is that, I get a null object reference error on the Alert in "init()". How can I avoid that. Is it possible that I can have a check to see, if the objects are null the program should just skip reading the objects.
private function init():void
{
var stored_credentials:Object = get_login_share_object();

I am trying to do tiling with sprites. I want my tiles to be interactive, so that is why I am using the sprite object instead of using regular bitMaps to represent my tiles. You might be wondering why I wouldnt just use graphics.beginBitmapFill(tImage); and graphics.drawRect(0, 0,tWidth ,tHeight ); to pick out the tiles I want to use. Well reason being is because it turns out that drawRect() first and second parameters actually alter the location of where the actual sprite sits at.
So if I set the x and y properties of the sprite to x = 20, and y = 20. then I set my drawRect(20,20). it actually adds an extra 20 pixels to my x and y coords of my sprite. And I know the reason why, I just need to know a better way.
I want to capture a change in a property of an item as follows
myItem.addEventListener(PropertyChangeEvent.PROPERTY_CHANGE,listener);

3D movement in Flash. Basically what i want is to have 2 or > objecton the stage placed on different z axis and when u click on one object it brings the camera forward to the specific coordinates. Then you can also click on another object and it will bring to the new object that you just clicked on.I can do half of it, but actually when one object's z coordinate reaches 0, it flip around and then go at the back.what i want to achieve but how can avoid making the object flip or just tell him to stay where it is so i can always go back to initial position of the camera and then click again on it.
View 3 RepliesI'm trying to trace the path of an object by using setPixel on the object's position every frame in a BitmapData/Bitmap pairing. These pixels aren't showing up normally and I suspect I have a fundamental misunderstanding of the BitmapData class. Here's what I'm doing:
public var contrailBase:BitmapData;
public var contrail:Bitmap;
private var contrailColor:uint;[code].....
Using this code, the red pixels don't show up. If I initialize contrailBase to 0xFF000000 instead then I get a black screen on which the red pixels DO draw, but I need the bitmap to be transparent except for the contrail. What am I doing wrong?
I'm using jQuery Autocomplete just as in this example: [URL] The problem is, the area where you see the Result box in that example - that's where my flash object is. So, when the autocomplete dropdown appears, most of the text is concealed by the flash object (which I can't move). How can I make the autocomplete text appear over the flash object (concealing its view rather than vice versa)?

I have been pulling my hair out on this one for too long. I have a web banner that uses Erik Hallander's Pixelator Class. Everything works fine when the timeline plays just once, but as soon as it loops I get error:
ArgumentError: Error #2015: Invalid BitmapData.
I have tried removeChild, removeEventListener, nulling the variables involved, disposing of the BitmapData. I also tried some conditional statements depending on the loop but no success. The actual class code is beyond my experience.
I would like to create a loop so the icons in the menu continually loop indefinitly.[code]
View 2 RepliesI am attempting to use a loop to create text field with the loop's current value. The code looks like this:
ActionScript Code:
for (var i = 1; i<=10; i++) {
var 'nameHolder'+[i]+'_txt':TLFTextField = new TLFTextField();
'nameHolder'+[i]+'_txt'.x = 40
'nameHolder'+[i]+'_txt'.y = 40
'nameHolder'+[i]+'_txt'.text = "Hello World"
}
So essentially what it should do is create 10 text fields at 40, 40 with the text: "Hello World".

I have a picture in a BitmapData object. And an array of points. I nead to erase the part of the picture inside a polygon specified by the points. In other words, draw a polygon specified by the points and fill it with transparency.
I have 3 objects. One BitMap that acts as my canvas. And 2 bitmapDatas. One is my buffer and another is my tiles. I am creating a tiling effect for a game. I would like to take my tile:BitMapData, and turn it into a custom object. reason being is I want each tile to be interactive. So I can click on each one. Is it possible to turn my bitMapData that represents a tile, into a custom object that has properties and methods. Sort of like a movie clip. and draw it into my buffer ?? Could I create a new class that extends bitMapData ?? Or would I have to get rid of the buffer and draw the tile objects directly into the BitMap ??
In other words, what is the best way to put Sprite or a tile into a BitMapData object or even a Bitmap.
I have converted a PNG into a bitmap, then converted that into bitmapData.
I have a object called _player, and I wish to add collision detection, however I can seem to get it to work.
my code is:
if(bmd1.hitTest(new Point(_player.x, _player.y))){
trace("hit");
}
bmd1 is my bitmapData,_player is the object is wish to test against.
I am getting the following error:
1136: Incorrect number of arguments, Expected 3
I have looked around but cannott find what argument I am missing
I have tried
if(bmd1.hitTest(new Point(_player.x, _player.y), 50, _player)){
trace("hit");
}
I should mention that the reason for me taking this approach is that I have a PNG, with transparent areas, I need to test for collisions in the non-transparent areas, which is why I was using this approach
I have a PNG, i import that and convert to bitmap, then convert to bitmapData
I'm really struggling to work out how to split a BitmapData object into two separate bjects, and eventually add them to a mc and animate them.I can successfully create a new Bitmap out of the left half, but when I try changing the Rectangle props for the second Bitmap draw method to make a Bitmap out of the right half, it doesn't work?Here's my code:

I am trying to create a BitmapData object of a jpg that is loaded into a movieClip, so that I can then remove the jpg and have just the BitmapData of the image to manipulate. I have the original image loading into my temporary MC without any problems..and am using a listener to check to make sure that the image has been fully loaded before it moves onto creating an empty movie clip for the BitmapData... but for some reason the BitmapData isn't working as nothing shows up in my holderMC.. and it says the width of the holderMC is 0 when it should be something liek 367 for the 'surf.jpg' test image I am using. My code is below..

import flash.display.BitmapData;
stop();

I have a BitmapData object with an alpha channel. I'd like to know the fastet way to offset that alpha channel in ActionScript3 (FlashPlayer10). By offsetting I mean shifting all pixels of that channel in one direction (wrapping around the image borders) while leaving the color channels as they were.Is there a good way to apply a such a transform to one channel only?
