Actionscript :: Get Transformations From Transformation Matrix In Flash?
Sep 1, 2010
I have transformation matrix properties (a,b,c,d). How to calculate scaleX, scaleY, scewX, scewY and rotation angle from those values?
When only one type of transformation is applied, I can figure out that:
scaleX = a
scaleY = d
scewX = c
scewY = b
rotation = arccos(a) or -arcsin(c)
But when multiple transformations are applied at once I don't know how to calculate those values.
I need to do this outside of flash so I can't use any flash helper methods.

I have some problems with doing Matrix transformations on a MovieClip with a Textfield. As soon as I make a matrix transformation the textfield of the movieclip disappears. And I can not get it back.

How can I, if it's even possible, use this transformation table provided in my question's accepted answer here in Actionscript 3 in Flash? I understand it might have something to do with Matrix, but I really have no clue if that transformation provided in the answer is possible to implement there. Is it? If so how?

I am doing a matrix transformation on a Display Object. I got this function from another site, but basically it scales a display object around any point.
ActionScript Code:
public static function scaleAroundExternalPoint(m:Matrix, x:Number, y:Number, multiplier:Number):void{
m.translate(-x, -y);
m.scale(multiplier, multiplier);
m.translate(x, y);
}
But my problem is that I have to do multiple scales in a sequence and after scaling, the points defined in the XML no longer correspond. Let me first say that all the points being scaled around are located in an XML file. They are all relative to the display object's registration point (0,0) when it is normal, i.e. a scale of 1. Also, I have created a class that retains the target object's original Matrix so that the percentage you pass in is relative to the original scale instead of the scale after each call. But basically, with the scaleAroundExternalPoint function by itself, if I have an object that I scaled to twice it's size, the multiplier would be 2. but say I want it back to it's original size. The multiplier would NOT be 1 since that would just leave it at a scale of 2x. It would have to be .5. The important parts of the class are below.
ActionScript Code:
public function ZoomUIComponent(isKeyboardControlled:Boolean = false, disabledAlpha:Number = .25,
max:Number = 2, min:Number = .5, precision:uint = 2,
seconds:Number = 1, step:Number = .1):void{
this.disabledAlpha = disabledAlpha;
this.inControl = InteractiveObject(getChildByName("zoomIn"));
_isKeyboardControlled = isKeyboardControlled;
[Code] .....
It's retaining the original matrix and then calculating based on that EACH TIME. So how would I find the new X and Y values of the original points so that I can scale around them?

I have a UI component that I wish to relocate and scale, but in a rather complex way. I've figured out the necessary transformations using the transform matrix, to which I applied several translate and scale operations. I can set the new transform matrix for this UI component to be the above calculated matrix, and the results are accurate; but I need to animate the transition. I can't use the Scale/Move effects alone because they aren't as powerful when it comes to calculating the necessary transformation as the matrices are.So how can I animate the transition of an object given a source and a target transform matrix?Figured it outUsing a tweener and its onUpdate event to reassign the matrix with each intermediate value:
var animMatrix : Matrix = gi.transform.matrix;
TweenMax.to(animMatrix, 1, {
a : m.a,

i've filled a circle shape with the bitmap data of a bitmap asset.i need to rotate the circle from the center, so i added the bitmap to the center of the circle and used a matrix transformation to shift the bitmapdata upward and leftward so it appears centered.
now i'm trying to read the bitmap data with getPixel() but the return value is off since it is returning the untransformed position of the bitmap data instead of the visible transformed bitmapdata.
Bitmap(Sprite(evt.currentTarget).getChildAt(0)).bitmapData.getPixel(evt.localX, evt.localY)
how can i get an accurate reading of the pixel data from a bitmap with a matrix transformation? updated with code. assume the redCircleData in my example is more colorful and something worth retrieving pixel data.
var redCircleData:Sprite = new Sprite();
redCircleData.graphics.beginFill(0xFF0000, 1.0);
redCircleData.graphics.drawCircle(0, 0, 100);[code]............

When I right-click a symbol the options "set transformation point" and "reset transformation point" come up. They don't seem to do anything for me. I thought it would center them or something. This is not the case. I have the white transformation point in one corner in one keyframe and a different corner in another keyframe I click "reset transformation point" on both frames and they don't move.

Has anyone here ever developed a function (or general library of relevant functions) that will allow one to find the inverse of a matrix? I've searched the forum archives, as well as the internet more generally, but haven't found anything. If anyone has some leads, I hope you'll pass them along.
If I don't hear anything within the next few days, I might try to develop something on my own, but I'd hate to do so if someone has already done the dirty work.
A solution to this problem would be very useful for 3-D work or anyone doing mathematical programming more generally.

Place a 100px by 100px box on the stage (not a movieclip, just a simple shape).
Now apply a vertical skew of 30 degrees. You should get this...
Click outside of the shape to release the transformation data. The degrees for skew resets to 0 (this is expected), see image below
But What skew would you apply to the shape to return it to its original shape. Initially I would've thought it was -30 in the vertical skew, but this seems to return a weird hybrid shape.. See below:

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?

chip1_mc.onRollOver = function() {
this.onEnterFrame = function() {
myColor = new Color(myPic);
myColorTransform = new Object();

I have a number of display objects drawing to the stage, including bitmaps, graphics/shapes, and text. What I want to do is put a layer on top of this that "grabs" or copies the image resulting from all the rendered objects below it.That is, I want to get a bitmap object that contains an image of the all the rendered objects beneath it in the display list. Consider it as taking a screen grab of the stage.The ultimate goal is to be able to then apply transformations on this bitmap, giving the appearance of transforming all the objects that draw under it.Is there a way to get such a bitmap? Or if not, is there a way to apply an image transformation (e.g. rotation, etc.) to the stage after a bunch of objects are drawn onto it?

Most often, questions are asked about how to scale a DisplayObject, and the answer is usually to use a Matrix.
My question is, how to you GET the scale of a Matrix (scaleX and scaleY)?
There's a Matrix.scale method to set the scaleX and scaleY, but it doesn't return a value, and no other properties exist to read it back.
The reason I ask, I'm using object burried deep down into a Display list, and each may be transformed. So I use the child object's sprite.transform.concatenatedMatrix getter, but am stuck at this point on how to read the scale from it.

I have to use Flash CS3, so I can't use the properties rotationX, roationY and rotationZ.I have a movieclip, that looks like this. It is now flat, no 3D rotation or shearing But what I want is that this movieclip has a rotationX, or that it is a bit in perspective like this: As I said, I can't use rotationX, so I have been playing around with Matrix. But I can not get it right.Here is how I try to do it
myMC.transform.matrix = new
Matrix(1,0.15,0.35, 1, 0, 0);
And this is the result get the matrix right, or is there another way?

In the 4 * 5 array that makes up a colour matrix, what do ALL the values do? All I have found is basically this:
0, 0, 0, 0, 0 <-R
0, 0, 0, 0, 0 <-G
0, 0, 0, 0, 0 <-B
0, 0, 0, 0, 0 <-A
What does each thing do?

We have discovered that when we draw one bitmapdata into another bitmapdata using draw, there is an upper bound on the scaling transformAt some point the IBitmapDrawable parameter ceases to be rendered on the target bitmap.Does anyone know what the parameters of this upper bound are? Is this documented somewhere?

I'm working on a project wherein a user can take a snapshot of themselves using their webcam and then edit this image by transforming scale and rotation and save the result.
I've got most of it working, the user can take a snapshot of themselves, transform the object using Senocular's Transform Tool and i'm using .draw() to then save this transformed object. The problem is .draw() is only grabbing data from the top left corner of the stage. It is drawing the transformed object but only from the top left corner.
Why does it only draw from the top left corner and how can i get set the coordinates to only draw from the area where the captured image is set?

I've been working on an FXG Editor, and I'm using the the senocular transform tool to move, rotate, scale and skew an object.
Is it possible to detect if the the Display object has been skewed just from inspecting the matrix of that DisplayObject? even if said object has been move, scaled and rotated as well.
I want to only serialize the matrix of an object to FXG if has been skewed and not if it has just been rotated, moved, or scaled.

I'm playing around with Flash CS4 trial and tried to 'compose' a 3d Box by putting 6 MovieClips as the side elements of the box in one clip which represents the whole box. (only using the Flash Tools, no Actionscript). Within the BoxClip (after doubleclick on the BoxClip on stage), all sides look right, each side is positioned with the correct angles and coordinates. Outside the BoxClip, back on root stage, the box sides are not parallel anymore, the angles are not 90 degrees, there is no 'box' actually. So I guess, one of the problems is the 3D Center point of the objects which is absolute to one point in coordinate space. The other problem is the faulty '3D' display in Flash, that is, changing from inside to ouside a clip changes the view also. So far, the Flash GUI seems quite useless for doing some '3D'. How to improve the workflow?
