I am trying to grab part of stage area using BitmapData and copyPixels method:
bmd = new BitmapData(stage.stageWidth, stage.stageHeight);
bmdRect = new BitmapData(320, 240);
rectangle = new Rectangle(360, 20, 320, 240);
bmdRect.copyPixels(bmd, rectangle, new Point());
[Code].....
The result i get is an empty .jpg I m pretty sure that the error is in the Bitmap procedure and not the saving one...
I have this function:
public static function cloneDpObj(target:DisplayObject):Bitmap
{
var duplicate:Bitmap;
[code]....
to clone target displayObject (MovieClip or Sprite) and return Bitmap Object.
It can get bitmap from the target object, but it seem don't get all the area of the image.
By give the width and height of target object, but the target object in design was applied by Glow Effect, so my question can we get the all view of bitmapdata from a displayobject?
I'm trying to use BitmapData Class to capture an animated movieclip and adding it to the display list by using addChild, but it's causing my computer to bog down because it's adding a zillion children. what do I do to remove the old, or rather, update the current child with the new one?
View 1 RepliesI'm trying to use BitmapData to capture a movieclip that has been created dynamically.
Here's my code:
Code:
on(release)
{
import flash.display.BitmapData;
[Code]....
As u must have noticed, the movieclip i wanna draw, namely _root.VESSEL, itself contains several other clips (eg _root.VESSEL.db). The problem is that the clip doesnt get drawn at all! All i get is a white rectangle of the size i've created the bitmapData. But nothing of that movie clip has been captured.
is it that the BitmapData cannot capture the details of a clip if it has child clips?? Coz here, VESSEL itself was created empty, and all the new shapes are actually being placed as movie clips inside other empty clips that were created in VESSEL.

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'm using a transform matrix as part of a bitmap draw to select an area of my target rather than drawing from 0,0:
var bmd:BitmapData = new BitmapData(target.width,target.height,true,0);
var mat:Matrix = new Matrix(1,0,0,1,-target.x,-target.y);
bmd.draw(this,mat);

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. Let me know if I need to supply any more info.
I have a BitmapData with 2 red circles. I want to find the rectangle area or each circle. If i use [B]getColorBoundsRect[/B] I get the smallest area enclosed by the 2 circles. How can i go about this and get individual area of the circles?
View 1 RepliesI am using the floodfill method to colour-in sections of a bitmap image. That part is easy enough but the issue comes in with the way I am adding an effect to the colour fill routine.
To add the effect, first a copy of the bitmap data is created and floodfill is used on that instead of the original bitmap. Then the bitmapdata.compare method is used to set the alpha value of everything apart from the filled-in section to 0 and the result is saved in another bitmapdata. After that, a 1 px radius circle sprite is added to the stage and is being tweened to the image dimensions and its mask is set to the sprite which contains the result of the compare operation.
This works perfectly except for the fact that the fill sprite has to be tweened to the complete image dimensions irrespective of how small the area is being coloured-in since I am not able to find a way to get the dimensions of the fill area. I am doing an bitmap image update at the end of the tween and I have to disable user interaction till the tween is complete to avoid the errors which come in if another fill-in operation is started before the base image has been updated. If I could somehow get the dimensions of the fill area then the time during which I have to disable the user interaction will go down considerably.

I am working on a project that requires the stage (and everything on it) to be captured, converted to a bitmap and then that data to be posted to another domain. I have looked at the .getPixel method but that creates a ridiculously long string and more often than not, will crash the swf in the browser. How I could possibly approach this. Oh, I need to do this in AS2 too.
View 1 Replieswhat I'm trying to do is allow the user to pick a section of the stage, click, and have the region defined be copied and show up on the other side of the stage. It may be better explained to think of it like a camera game. The player has cross hairs, can move the square (which tracks the mouse) around the stage, and click to capture that square's pixel information, store it to a new movieclip and display it on another area of the stage.
I've found many resources online about capturing BitmapData, including capturing from embedded FLV videos, but I haven't seem to be able to find anyone who has created something like this which captures from a moving region. However, I have seen it done before in a game that is no longer online from PBSkids.org.
Here is what I have so far. Right now, when I click the movieclip loads all white pixel data and I'm not sure why.

Yet nothing appears on the stage, yet there are no errors (I'm in strict mode with debugging enabled).
I'm working on a project that requires more than a simple hitTest. Bitmap collision seems the best way to go. My end goal is to be able to determine which side a rectangle was hit: top, right, down or left. If there is a way to do this with a simple hitTest I'd love to hear about it. The problem I'm running into while following the Flash Example with bitmap.hitTest is that as soon as I apply BitmapData to an mc that already exists on stage the collision detection stops working. I am wondering if this is an inherent issue and I have to rely on creating the movieclips via script then attaching BitmapData.
The Flash example is as follows, this code works correctly:
ActionScript Code:
import flash.display.BitmapData;
import flash.geom.Point;
var myBitmapData:BitmapData = new BitmapData(100, 80, false, 0x00CCCCCC);
var mc_1:MovieClip = this.createEmptyMovieClip("mc", this.getNextHighestDepth());
mc_1.attachBitmap(myBitmapData, this.getNextHighestDepth());

View 5 RepliesI want to place my duplicates about one third down from the top and in a small bit from the left. Roughly centre them on stage. My code so far:
for (var i = 1; i <= 6; i++){ duplicateMovieClip ("fish_mc", "fish_mc" + i, i); _root["fish_mc" + i]._x = 500 * Math.random (); _root["fish_mc" + i]._y = 350 * Math.random ();}
I currently have an small animation job that involves an enormous zoom out. To do this I need to scale the symbol containing all the animation out in the main timeline, from extremely close to quite far away.
I have two problems that are preventing me from doing this satisfactorily.
Firstly, the transform panel doesn't work. Specifically, entering scale values only seems to work beween 0 and 100%, anything larger gives unpredictable results.
Second, the symbol has become too large for the work area (I have zoomed out as far as I can go) - how can this area to spread out to the whole of the graphic editing area, instead of the third of it that is on the left side?
For example, I have used the Free Transform tool and scaled the item up 2500%, and now it's too big for the limited work area. To scale it further, or scale it back, I need to enter scale amounts into the Transform panel. After doing this, the figures I enter turn into arbitrary other values and my symbol either warps or disappears entirely.
Ideally, I should be able to look at the stage itself, click on the symbol, scale it in the Transform panel to 3000% and be done with it.
Once again i'm a bit lost XD. The deal is, that i'm making a dynamic "blog like" news viewer, so, when i got more than 2 news (sometimes even with one), all the rest of the news get out of the stage and are not seen.
I have been reading methods about changing the stage size but the question is here, if i manage to change the stage size, all the content will be scaled too, isn't it? That's exactly what i don't want.
then, how do i change the "view area" of the stage.
I am copying a bunch of shapes from my stage to a set of bitmaps for filtering.
Is there a faster way to do this? Is there a way to copy everything over together from the stage rather than how I'm doing it by copying the shapes in my array one by one?[code]...
I have a mini-game where I have three movieclips:The player (controlled by mouse); A random object that moves around the stage (like the arkanoid ball without the paddle and the blocks); A simple power up.The game is simple: hitting the power up increases your scoreThe game ends when the object hits the player.The question is:How can I spawn the power-up (randomly) on the stage area, every time the player hits it?When that happens I want the following events to occur:1) The power-up to be removed;2) Increase the score by 1.3) Place a new power up randomly on the stage.4) Rinse and repeat.
View 12 RepliesI was at a friend's house and wanted to show him our website. When I navigated to it, about 10% of the area outside of the stage was visible. It was almost as if the swf had been shrunk by 10%, but still within the stage area (750px x 600px). I'm not sure what's causing it, but I've seen it happen once before with a computer here at our office.
It always seems to happen with Internet Explorer. When we right-clicked on the swf and choose "show all" it filled the area and looked normal. I've never encoutered the problem using Firefox and only some of the time when using Internet Explorer. Not sure if it just happens with a certain version of IE or what.[URL]..

View 6 RepliesI want to load some mcs randomly on the stage, except for a footer area at the bottom of the stage. Is there a way to exclude just a certain part of the stage using something like Math.random()*Stage and then specifying the bottom 300 pixels as off limits?
I'm using the whole stage because the swf is embedded 100% across the browser, so I can't restrict the dimensions.
Code:
onClipEvent (load) {
x = this._x=Math.random()*Stage.width;
y = this._y=Math.random()*Stage.height;
}
