I am loading a jpg into my Flash. When I zoom into the flash in the browser (for example, setting the zoom to 125%) the jpg in the flash starts to distort and pixelate. How do I get Flash to not pixelate the jpg?
View 1 RepliesOkay, I know this is a stupid question but, if you bring in a jpg or png image and either convert it to a graphic or a movie clip, or just leave it as an image, is there a way to distort the image other than scaling, rotating and skewing it. For example, I want to change the perspective of an image the way I do in photoshop.Let's say the image is a house, in photoshop, you can take the house and make it look like a trapezoid shape, you know, wider at the bottom than at the top Is there a way to do this using flash tools? Envelope distorting, if you break the image apart doesn't really work.
View 1 Repliesi used the code for loading an image into a MC and it makes the image look really compressed by changing the colors. i checked the image from where the code is pulling it and its fine.[code]
View 1 RepliesI want to do a ZOOM functionality in Flash cs3/cs4. I will tell you how it has to work. On left side of the stage there is an image, and on top of the image there is a square shape of movieclip will be there and we can able to drag that sqaure on top of the image. so according to that dragging position, i need show a respective zoomed image on right hand side.
View 7 Repliesthis might have been handled somewhere else, I just didn't know how to word this error properly. Type is distorting randomly. This is happening with multiple fonts (and will show up in exports). I'm running Flash CS5 on Snow Leopard.
View 2 RepliesI'm currently testing various ways to zoom images (or rather, whole DisplayList hierarchies). Using scaleX and scaleY works quite well, but when I use the z property to zoom the image (by placing it further away) the image gets blurred when returning to z=0. The image is put in a Sprite ("groundLayer") and that Sprite itself is put in another Sprite ("zoomLayer"). Whenever I'm zooming I'm manipulating properties of the "zoomLayer" only. This image was taken right after returning scaleX and scaleY back to 1.0: This image was taken right after returning z back to 0.0:
I've tried searching for information about this phenomena but couldn't really find anything useful. Can anyone explain what's happening there? Why is Flash blurring the image after manipulating the zproperty? Is there a way to prevent that (well, other than obviously leaving z alone)?
I have a swf page that I would like to convert to a png file. Before I convert the file, I would like to zoom in to the swf file so that I have a larger image. I try swftools to convert, but the png image quality is not good enough: Zoomed-in png image looks too blurry.
I should do to capture/use a zoomed-in version of a swf file. A linux compatible command line tool would be great as I am thinking of converting hundreds of images.
I have a SWF file that is loading text from an xml file. The text loads and animates fine when viewing it embedded in an html page zoomed to 100%. It even looks fine when loading at 100% and then zooming in. My problem is that the text field will not display when the page reloads while zoomed at anything other than 100%. It gets even weirder because everything is fine if I set the text of the dynamic field via a static string, the same string as in the xml file.
View 1 RepliesI'm using flex. The flash object is remain the same size and not scaling when zoom in/out from browser. So the swf is not properly displayed in the given div. I'm wondering how this example could scaling nicely when zoomed in/out.
View 2 RepliesMy website is already done, however I found some sad property right after completion and publishing. When I zoom out (with ctrl+mousewheel or ctrl+-) my content which should be hidden is revealed which looks terrible and ruins whole effect (as you can see in the link below).

I did not use any mask, as I could not overcome the issue that I needed 2 masks actually - one for the whole opacity in the middle, and second for the rest with slight opacity and I believed flash CS 5 does not allow this.Therefore I used simple layer with low opacity and small cut window in front leaving my moving pictures in the back.Now is there any way I prevent either browser from zooming out or zooming in(javascript perhpas?) or Flash from showing off-document content?I think I've tried every combination of Flash publishing. Every time after zoom out the space between flash object and the rest of the html are enlarged and pictures off-screen are shown.
I am trying to put together my portfolio and nomatter what it will load as a zoomed in view. It is always cropped on this file and won't do anything different aside from zooming in further than it is.
View 2 RepliesI'm loading an external .jpg into a mc. I have the code listed below, the problem is when I try to load another image the first one disappears before the second one is completely loaded. What I'm trying to accomplish is the first image will stay on the screen until the second one reaches 100% then they will simply switch.
ActionScript Code:
var backgroundloader:MovieClipLoader = new MovieClipLoader();
backgroundloader.addListener(this);
function onLoadInit(_mc:MovieClip) {
_mc._height = Stage.height;
_mc._width = Stage.width;
[Code] .....
So again this works fine, but now i have a button that onRelease has :
backgroundloader.loadClip("2.jpg", bgholder_mc);
So how can I keep 1 on the screen until 2 is completely loaded then switch them out ?
I've made a simple portfolio web site which loads a swf file containing the navigation at the top and then the navigation loads individual swf files containing full page images.The problem is the full page images are distorting very slightly when they are loaded in. I've attached two images, the first image (picture2.png) is how looks when I just open the image's swf file, and the second image (picture3.png) is how it looks after its loaded in by the navigation.

View 2 RepliesI need to achieve the image scaling done here (not copying the site, just need that image scaling technique)[url]...
i've got the listeners in place, and have no problem getting images to fit the browser windows. the problem is stopping the distortion, while also making sure at least 1 dimension fits the browser's dimensions (ie no borders appearing along one direction). i don't mind the browser 'cropping' the image.
how you would go about making a movieclip span 100% width of the stage?? for example in a full browser flash site?

View 2 RepliesI have a problem when one B.swf file is loaded to another A.swf file.A.swf file size is 400x400.B.swf file size is 100x100.B file has a movie clip (MC) which is animated and position of this movie can be from Y:-100 to Y:200. B file is loaded into the center (X:150, Y:150) of the A file.When B file is loaded, then animation starts. I have a problem: I can see animated movie clip B out of B screen scope (for example: when B.swf file movie clip has _y = -100 I still can see that movie clip in A.swf). I am expecting that movie clip will not be shown if Y position becomes negative
View 1 RepliesI'm finding that in flash (10.x at least) and ie (7, 8, 9) that if I try to load an image url that contains escaped utf-8 characters (p%C3%83%C2%A5) that the characters get decoded before it makes the url request, even if I double or triple encode them. Is there any way to prevent this so the url (with escapes) the way I want it is actually what is requested?
The problem its causing is we give a http status of 301 on utf-8 decoded url requests to the encoded url which flash then tries to request (but ie decodes it again) and I get stuck in an infinite loop because of the 301 + ie auto-decoding.
EDIT, adding code sample:
var url:URLRequest = new URLRequest('http://mydomain.com/p%C3%A5.jpg');
var loader:Loader = new Loader();
loader.load(url);
Now I want the request to go over the line as [URL] (and it does in other browsers), but in IE it goes over the line as [URL]
EDIT: replacing % with %25 (double encoding the %) but that didn't work, it just caused this request to go over the wire: [URL]
When Im loading an xml document, it's as if flash caches this document, and uses that cached version all the way (disregarding how many times I open and close the app) ... well, that's so until I open the xml file inside the browser (IE) and ctrl-F5 to refresh; that's when flash starts getting the updated xml. What's up with that? Is there a way to prevent flash from caching??

I have a web page where users can play flash games. We are now making some changes to the page which requires the games to be embedded with wmode=transparent or wmode=opaque so that we can show HTML elements on-top of the flash games. The problem is that in Internet Explorer (on all versions) the whole page scrolls if a user presses the up/down arrow keys. I've tried everything I can think of and I've spent a whole day searching for a solution without success.o far I've tried putting the game inside a iframe and I tried disabling the up/down keys with JS, none of which solves my problem.
View 4 RepliesI have multiplayer flash game (AS3) and I would like to prevent multiboxing, e.g. prevent user running two (or more) instances of my game at one computer. Is there simple and reliable way how to do that? I don't want to filter them based on IP address.
I tried to use LocalConnection, but it was unreliable. It worked most of the time but for some reason it failed sometimes.
Then I tried to use SharedObject to write random value to it and than check for change in periodic interval. Idea is that when second instance starts, it will overwrite previous value and check in first instance will fail.
public function MultiboxPreventer(callback:Function)
{
uniqueKey = Math.random() * uint.MAX_VALUE;
so = SharedObject.getLocal("prefs");
