Actionscript :: Draw Sprites To A BitmapData When They Have Crazy Origin Points?
Feb 9, 2012
I am facing a real nightmare. I have many Assets which use strange origin points. I need to essentially draw these assets to a BitmapData, but the origin point causes all kinds of problems. StackOVerflow does not let me attach an image so I will try to describe. Imagine you have the shape of a digit "8". You have 3 of these shapes.... Each shape has a different origin:
1) The middle of the "8" shape
2) The centre of the top "o" part of the "8" shape
3) The centre of the bottom "o" part of the "8" shape
How, with a single drawing routine, can I correctly draw each of these instances to a BitmapData? Ideally I want to find the top left part of any Sprite bounding box, and bitmapdata.draw() from there. But after 2 days, all of my attempts either get clipped.... or using matrices, they do not work for every origin point and different drawings get clipped in different locations.

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've been using BitmapData.copyPixels() to draw graphics onto a canvas (Bitmap).I need to rotate the resulting graphics without the use of draw() because it's vastly slower.How can I rotate the target graphic? I'm assuming that there might be a formula or library that I can use which will first reorganize the pixels that make up a graphic based on an origin (point) and radians.I'm pretty certain that I'm not capable of creating such logic, so if there are any known libraries that do this, that would be awesome.I'd like to achieve something similar to XNA's SpriteBatch.Draw() method, which accepts rotation as its 5th argument.

I am using the draw() method of the BitmapData to encode a jpeg of part of the image. Now this should be easy enough given the object I want to draw to the bitmap is on the stage at design time so I know its location and dimetions exactly! Heres the code I have in place.
Code:
var myBitmapSource:BitmapData = new BitmapData ( street.width, street.height, false, 0x333333);
myBitmapSource.draw(street, null, null, null, new Rectangle( 96, 5, 571, 450 ), true );
I know for a FACT that no part of the street clip I am drawing out is in negative space, and it's registration is (0,0). However, it cuts off A lot of the top of my image. y=5 in the above rectangle is where I need the top to be, but it cuts the top off of the image... even if I change it to 0, it has no effect.

I'm trying to do some lean blitting for an object that rotates by rotating it once at startup and capturing a BitmapData snapshot of each 5 degrees. The problem I'm having is that the draw() method of the BitmapData object is only picking up pixels in the MovieClip that are below and to the right of the registration point. If I change the MC so that the registration point is in the top left corner, I sometimes get what looks like most of the pixels, but the entire object rotates into and out of the frame, since it's rotating around the corner and not the center.

I'm currently building a slideshow application using the MVC pattern, as it stands the application works by going to the next picture by clicking the photo or controlling the slides with a next/prev button.
i am trying to add additional navigation so that there are thumbnails of the images loaded with XML so the user can click the image and go straight to the image clicked on.
thats easy enough i could add buttons manually with thumbnails in them but it would tedious to update the photography or artwork when it comes to increasing or reducing the number of photos.
so what i plan is that ,when the application loads it reads and counts the images Thumnails in the XML file,then the AS3 generates thumbnail icons according to the amount of images counted in the XML File, then places them on the stage in a sequence next to each on the stage. as a sequence of thumnails with can then be used to navigate around the library with more control and is easy to update simply by changing the XML file.[code]...

I have a big code, but essentially, this part comes to transformation of a BitmapData to triangle points, using affine transformation. Also - I know that BitmapData is rectangular - the last, fourth point of the transformation is just the first one reflected over the axis defined by the other two points.
A small thing so you can see which point is which one:
1........2
. / / / /|
./ / / /
. / / / |
./ / /
. / / |
./ /
. / |
./
3 - - - -4 - 4th point reflected
This whole process would come to scaling, rotating and skewing the BitmapData based on the angles between the points... But somehow my code still does not work. Looking at a similar thing in PaperVision 3D - still didn't work?

I have an array of points and I need square planes to be drawn between these points and distorted if points change their coordinates (see what I mean in the attached file).So what is the best practice I should use to create such set of planes knowing just coordinates of the points (planes vertices)?

I'm projecting some vectors using the Utils3D.projectVectors() method. This gives me the (x,y) screen points. Then I'm using graphics.drawGraphicsData(); to draw a GraphicsTrianglePath containing these points.
The points are drawn at the top left (0,0) of the stage, but I want them to be at the middle (275,200). I know there are several ways of doing this, like for instance, adding 275 to all the screen points x values, and adding 200 to the y values, but I think that would be a massive operation.I can also set the sprite containers x and y, but I want its position to stay in the top left.
Simple way of drawing it in the middle?

the problem may be a simple one but I can't figure it out. I have an image loaded into BitmapData. now I want to take text from a textinput and put it on the BitmapData. Basically it's drawing a text on the BitmapData and get the result as another BitmapData that will consist of the original BitmapData with the text drawn over it on a specified position

I am trying to copy an image.The green stuff on the first image is a mask(which is not set, its just there to show it)Everything works fine when I dont set a mask to an image (picture 1)But when I set the mask I get picture 2.What I want is to copy a part of the image which is visible when the mask is set. I know what size the mask and image are going to be so I can calculate the size of the area which i need to copy.This is the code I am using, image has registration point in the center, thats why i use matrix.translate (not sure if its the right way).Also there is no image scaling applied (there might be later), thats why I am using matrix.scale.
Code:
var _reflectionHolder:Sprite = new Sprite();
addChild(_reflectionHolder);
_reflectionHolder.y =_targetObject.y + _targetObject.height / 2 + 10;[code]......

I am trying to draw a continuous curved line in flash. There are many methods but none of the ones I have found so far quite fit my requirements. First of all, I want to use the flash graphic api's curveTo() method. I DO NOT want to simulate a curve with hundreds of calls to lineTo() per curved line segment. It is my experience and understanding that line segments are processor heavy. Flash's quadratic bezier curve should take less CPU power. [code]...

I'm attempting to make a curve drawing tool a bit easier to use.Rather than drawing a basic curve and then clicking on the control point to change it, I would like the user to be able to click on the curve itself to change it, much as you do in the FlashIDE.So, given start and end points, and a point on the curve, how do you determine the control point for use with the MX API?(I googled this, but found mostly info on cubic rather than quadratic curves)

I have a sprite with some objects in it which are transformed in 3D (positioned and rotated). The objects form a coneshape in such a way that the objects that make up the back are hidden.When I use that sprite as a source for the bitmapData.draw() it is drawn from another viewpoint so it seems. In my case the copy is viewed slightly from the bottom and right.
Bottomline:Does anyone know of a way to duplicate the image of a sprite which contains 3D manipulated graphics?

I am using NetStream.appendBytes() to play a local video (no server involved) in Adobe AIR. I would like to use BitmapData.draw() to take a picture of the video output, but I am getting this error:
Error #2123: Security sandbox violation: BitmapData.draw: cannot access null. No policy files granted access.
Here is some sample code:
package
{
import flash.display.Sprite;
import flash.filesystem.File;
[Code].....
This is only sample code use for an explanation. The error would happen when calling the getImage method while the video is playing. The error mentions a policy file not found. Since the file is loaded locally there isn't really a place to put a policy file. Is there a policy setting somewhere that needs to be set or is the BitmapData.draw feature just not available when using appendBytes?
