Actionscript 3 :: Specify The "background" For BlendMode.ADD?
Mar 12, 2011
I am developing a flash game entirely in FlashDevelop, i.e., only with AS3 code.I want to do the following: blend, as ADD (adding their colors), a couple of moving DisplayObjects, such that the blending occurs only between them, and not with anything else in the screenWith no success, I've tried to do this: insert the moving DisplayObjects in a parent DisplayObject named container with blendMode as ADD, while all the rest of the game has blendMode NORMAL.I've also tried to set the blendMode of the moving DisplayObjects as ADD, with ontainer.blendMode == NORMAL, with also no success.Adobe's AS3 API mentions that the ADD Blend mode "Adds the values of the constituent colors of the display object to the colors of its background"

Does Flash Player 9's BlendMode ability transpose to normal bitmap data (JPG, PNG, etc.) outside or beneath the SWF? I have a movieclip that I'm trying to blend with an HTML background like Photoshop. It currently doesn't react to the options I've tried.

So you've got a transparent png. Rather than importing that png with its alpha channel, I've always assumed it's better to import it with a black or white matte, then use Flash's blend modes (lighten, darken, screen, multiply) to show the transparency.Am I right on this, or does it make no difference in terms of cpu usage?I do believe that in terms of filesize, the matte saves quite a bit over the alpha channel.

Set 2 MovieClips on the stage each having a rectangle in it which have different colors. Put them one over another and apply to the top one some blend mode that shows some visual difference. Ok so what I need to do now is grab the bitmapData from both and redraw it into a single MovieClip, so what I need is to merge the 2 bitmapData, which worked fine without a blendMode, but I can't get it to work right with blendMode[code]...

I've been searching for the formula used intrinsically in Flash but I couldn't find anything. Does anybody know how the result colors are obtained when the 'layer' blend mode is chosen for the upper object? I thinks it's done separately in each channel using the transparency values.There might be some bitwise operations going on there but I'm not sure.

I am trying to erase one movieclip from another using the blendmode="erase" setting, but can only get it to work on the stage as the parent. This means it erases a hole through everything! The attachmovie also doesn't seem to work as I was expecting and I was hoping that when you drag the movieclip, the attached clip would move with it? If you check out the FLA [URL] you can see whats happening right now and what I want to achieve (diagrams provided in FLA).

Overlay blending mode in flash on trasnaprent, imported images, doesn't work properly! It leaves dimmed black background instead of transparency. Same thing is in CS4 and in CS5. What is even more weird is that in Flash preview stage window everything is fine, and it works, but after publishing the SWF, you can see black background.I looked for workaround that...no success. No one answeres to this question.
-I tried with 24png, 8png, gif with different settings. No success.
-Tried also with After Effects, and then export to SWF, it works surprisingly.

I'm loading a batch of 50 jpgs and once loaded, on enter frame, I'd like to change their alpha individually and apply BlendMode.ADD to all of them (also individually).
I can do this easy using normal Sprite objects, but this is not efficient enough (processor wise). I've played a bit with BitmapData.draw(source, null, null, BlendMode.Add) and that's still not efficient enough.
So I was wondering if I could achieve similar effect using copyPixels (which I know should be more efficient). Still, I'm a bit clueless on how could I apply BlendMode and alpha on a bitmapData object (I mean, I know I can't, but I was wondering if I could make this work using Matrix and filter manipulations).

so, a blendMode seems to break on a nested movieclip in FP10 when you change a 3d propery of the parent clip? rotationY, rotationZ, etc...Example here (sorry, not enough posts to actually link):

import flash.utils.*;
import flash.display.*;

i need to mix two images one photo and a placeholder. The idea is that we see the placeholder except where the palceholder has a particular color, in that case the user sees the photo. Something like chroma key.For this purpose i wrote a Pixel Bender shader that acts as a BlendMode. If the background is in the right color output the pixel image otherwhise output the pixel from the placeholder.
<languageVersion : 1.0;>
kernel Crossfade
< namespace : "mynamesp";
vendor : "Artbits snc";
[code]....
Everything works fine except for the fact that i had multiple placeholder, one over the other and my shader don't check the color of its own placeholder but the color of everything under the photo.Is there a way to force BlendMode to consider only a layer or a specific background color ?Is there a smarter way to obtain the same result ?

I want to embed some video into my HTML page. As background I want to use big picture. And above it I want to insert loop video with (i.e.) walking man.So, can I embed video (without flash and any player controls) in page?Can I decode video with transparent background? Is there any codecs which support transparent background (alpha-channel)?

I've designed a Flash site in CS3 using Action Script 2.0 that has a main flash movie sorta floating in space over a gradient background. I want the gradient background to re-size with the browser, so I thought that the easiest way to do this would be to delete the gradient background in Flash and instead recreate the background in Dreamweaver using the repeat background option and then make the Flash movie's background transparent. (I hope I'm making some amount of sense here).
I've found a few tutorials on how to do this, but so far I just get a white background instead of transparent. I've tried choosing "Transparent - Windowless" under Window Mode on the HTML tab in Publish Settings. And I've tried selecting the movie from within DW and clicking the parameter button and adding a "wmode" parameter with "transparent" as its value.

trying to print a movieclip with a white backgroundwhile keeping the stage background black.The movieclip,printResults_mc has a white rectangle in the bottom layer, 850pixels x 1100 pixels. The following function scales printResults_mcto the printers printable area but because isimpossible to predict the aspect ratio of the printable area someblack background always leaks out. I tried making the whitebackground 20 pixels larger than I need (870 x 1120) and thensetting a crop rectangle in addPage of (10,10,850,1100), no luck,the black stage background just fills in the area outside the crop.A simple solution would be to temporarily set the stage backgroundcolor property to white, print, then set it back to black, but I

I have converted a large background image (much larger than the stage) into a Movie Clip. I did this so I can make it scroll as the player traverses to the edge of the scene.This appears to make the player free to roam the entire background image.I have a tree symbol with a class attached to it that blocks player movement.Here is my problem:
When I drag and drop instances of the tree symbol onto the background, the trees are stationary and do not scroll with the background.I do not want to have to implement code to make the trees scroll when the background does.I was wondering if there was a way to simply attach the trees to the background so that if the background moves, the trees move with it and appear to be part of the background as if they were drawn into it.It is convenient for me to be able to drag and drop as many trees as i need to block certain routes on the background from the player.I tried writing code to make the trees move but it was only working for the very last tree that I added to the scene.

I really don't know much about flash or swf files but in updating my portfolio I came across Polaroid gallery. I have managed to update the background jpeg with my own picture and remove the fade effect. However in the original program the background was tileable so when seen in a full screen browser looked fine. As my picture is not tileable I would like to know if it is possible to scale the background or the whole swf object without tiling the background.

I am relatively new to Flash CS3 and i have been learning Action-script 3 over the past week. I have come quite a long way and i have made a site in flash but i just have a question.I have been using an image as my background and i am happy with the way flash automatically scales all the objects in my file but the background image does not scale. Is there a way to do this? I have found out things online which show me how to add auto-resizing to the background but this knocks off the flash auto scaling/resizing for everything else.

I have a series of background MCs, all different coloured gradients (pretty!), and a series of corresponding buttons elsewhere on the stage. On a press of each button I would like the corresponding background MC to come to the top of the pile of backgrounds, then fade in above the previous background. The background that was previously on top, needs to stay next-to-top.If the corresponding background is already at the top of the pile, then nothing needs to happen.
At the moment I am using swapDepths(1) which brings the target to the top no problem, but it may also send the previous top layer MC way down the pile.This is what I'm doing at the moment:
on (release) {
if (_root.BG.colour2.getDepth()<=0) {
_root.BG.colour2._alpha = 0;[code].....

I'm making a Flash Trivia Game in AS2 for my school US History project, and I need to make 50 or 100 questions, 2 options each, one correct answer, one incorrect answer.I made 100 blank keyframes, is there anyway to add a background to all of these? And what's the easiest way to make two options, one correct, moving you on to the next question and giving you one point, one incorrect, taking away a point, playing a noise, and not moving on to the next question?

i embedded a swf into a page recently. I got it outsourced as i dont know my flash but the guy sent it to me like this.[code]however, the logo was then black in the background. which was really annoying, cause i'd asked for a transparent background and now i had a black one which didnt match the gradient of the header of the page.so i went back to the logo designer and i asked, he didnt know how to make the background transparent with this new code i've used. So, i asked him to make a new one with the gradient in the background. he did, and there are still black bits to the side of the logo..so i thought best to come to a knowledgeable place and ask - how do i set the background for this embedded swf as transparent?URL...
