Flash :: Draw Multiple Bitmaps Onto A Single Sprite In Different Locations?
Feb 8, 2011
I have many base images that I need to combine to construct larger images to draw on Sprite objects. I understand that the beginBitmapFill() method of the Graphics class renders a bitmap on a Sprite's graphics object. So I figure that I need to manipulate the BitmapData object, adding the base images to produce a composite image that I can then draw on my Sprite.
My question is: Is there any clean and relatively hassle free way of doing this? Is there a way to draw Bitmaps to certain locations in a Sprites graphics context? Could you copy a Graphics object onto another at certain coordinates and build it that way?
Is it possible to allocate multiple media locations to a single VOD application? I'm about to exceed the 2TB volume limitation of my SAN, yet the quantity of content that needs to be available for a given clients FMS application exceeds that.
how to animate a simple sprite for the 100th time, I hope I might found I more specific, and better explained answer to my problem. I'm trying to make a flash game, of course, and I want my main Player sprite to be able to play multiple animations based on specific input. So, a running right animation, a running left animation, a jump animation, and an attack animation.
I have a single texfield. I want to set the default format of that textfield to a certain value and alignment. Then, draw the text onto a bitmapdata. Then, I want to change the default format of THAT single textfield to a new format, change the alignment, and change the text contained in it. Then draw it at a new location.I want to do the above many times to use the same textfield to draw in multiple locations in multiple styles.
Code: var bmd:BitmapData = new BitmapData(500,300); var tField:TextField = new TextField();
I've been working on a simple mosaic generator for a project and have been crashing Flash consistently by trying to add too many bitmaps to a Sprite. I can crash Flash every time with the following:
for(var i:int = 0; i < 10000; i++){ var d:BitmapData = new BitmapData(20,20); addChild(new Bitmap(d)); }
I get a 2015 error - invalid BitmapData.9000 works without issue... 10000 crashes. Problem is I need 10000.Is this a known limitation? I could try using multiple sprites and adding say 5000 to each, but that wouldn't be easy with this project. But if I have to I have to...
I am trying to create a flash wich will have multiple dots to indicate locations, on mouseover to these dots a panel will appear on the right hand side showing some related information.
I'm Trying to develop a small game where the user chooses from a range of boxes of the left of screen and can drag 3 of them separatley to 3 holding boxes on ther right. each box can be dragged to any location and the order is not important. Once the 3 holding boxes are all full I want a new button to appear. I completed a tutorial and I've got one box working perfectly but no matter what i try I can't get it working with multiple boxes and locations. Below is a list of the instance names of the movie clips plus my actionscript. I've attached a link to the flash file.

INSTANCE NAMES
box 1 = "circle_mc" box 2 = "circle_mc2" both the grey boxes are called = "targetCircle"
I have stuck a bitmap into a display object container (Sprite). On a given mouse event (i.e. mouse click), I would like to display the x and y coordinates of the bitmap. However, I've realized upon clicking on the bitmap, the event is only recognizing the higher level Sprite container. I suspect this could be attributed to the simple fact that bitmaps are not InteractiveObjects.If it's I have attached the code. I am loading a master image and cloning it to produce a thumbnail image (bitmap). Mouse events with the container holding the master image recognize the image itself while the container holding the thumbnail only recognizes the Sprite container.
Code: var ldr1:Loader=new Loader(); var url1:URLRequest=new URLRequest("PhotoGallery0/picture0.jpg");
I'm trying to draw a series of external bitmaps descriped by an XML file.
[Code]...
Rather than draw out all of the images described in the XML file, it draws out the last file as many times as there are keys in the XML array (in this case, it draws the last image three times). When I just add it as an image, without having to load them as bitmaps objects, it works fine, but then it won't let me adjust the width and the height of the images.
I usually created a movieclip in flash and assign it to actionscript class(using export for actionscript method in its property panel) that exteds movieclip.but sometimes movieclip is just too heavy for that,is there any possible way to draw a sprite directly in flash(not by code),and control it in actionscript-3
I have a custom Image class that I am using to store individual image information for a gallery application:
package mtm.test { public class Image extends Object {
[Code]....
This is how I would implement the above:
var image:Image = new Image(); //I would be loading external bitmaps but for the example I'll just create new ones: image[BitmapThumbnail] = new BitmapThumbnail(new BitmapData(65,65,false,0x000000));
[Code]....
Is there a simpler way to do this? I feel that there is a lot of repeated code within the BitmapType sub-classes.
At the least, this helps to avoid a bunch of for loops trying to find the requested size, and it seems portable to situations where more or less sizes of Bitmaps are required.
I am trying to make a frame arround an uploaded picture by repeating 1 image over and over again. The user will have to enter the real dimentions of the picture and the image will be scaled acordingly so that the frame will look as big as it should. The problem is that when I get a bigger pickture and I scale the images something goes wrong and there is some smearing in the movie clip. When I move it to X:0 and Y:0 all is well. When I move it to the center of the screen the smearing is there. Here's the code I use:
I have noticed that calling a function from a mouse event requires just that event as a parameter in the function declaration function doSomething (evt:MouseEvent):void{} I would like to call the same function from different places like so
function doSomething ():void{ trace("doSomething") }
I have a doubt: When you open various flash pages in tabs, for example in Firefox, all those pages share the same Flash instance or each one use an instance of flash??
I've multiple videos stored as MovieClip objects and would like to merge them into a single MovieClip video object in order to play all of them in sequence (so that a user thinks it's a single video).
I'm working on a Flash project that deals with multiple files. There is a main file that loads in individual SWF files as they click on different buttons. The course has dynamic text Fields that are populated via XML. So right now, my idea is to give each page it's own XML file? Would this be better suited to have one single XML file for all the pages, and the container file or multiple files?
Also, this is going to be a multilingual project. EDIT: The XML files will just be storing text information to populate the text fields, and some links to load in images. Also, the loaded SWFs will never be accessed without the use of the main "container" SWF.
I was wondering which method would be the most efficient (run faster)...Lets say I have multiple layering of animations, say a moving sky, then birds, then fireworks ordered respectively. Is better to have one bitmapdata (called BD) then do a copypixel of sky, then bird, then firework at every tick (I'm using a timer) and put it in one bitmap.
Or is it better to have 3 bitmaps (and put into 3 different sprites) with the animations separated, so when I update the birds I don't have to update the sky.share any knowledge on pros or cons of using multiple bitmaps vs using one bitmap in that situation. Aside for the increase of initial memory used.
I'm wondering (based on scoping rules) how I might do the following: I want to draw to a sprite that exists on the main stage in which I have a class instantiated.
So something like
public function MyClass(reference:String){ this.reference = reference; }
[Code]...
Would I use super() in this case, or what's the usual methodology?
I have a rectangular sprite and I would like to add a "X" on top of the rectangle. How would I go about to do this? I am happy to either draw two lines to form a "X" or to draw the letter "X" on top of the sprite. I would rather draw the "X" programatically than to use some embedded image in the library.Here is the code I am using to draw the rectangle.
... // Draw rectangle var rect:Sprite = new Sprite(); rect.graphics.lineStyle(1, 0x000000, 1.0);
I have a swf file, which plays 6 videos one after the other in a loop. This file is very huge so it is taking more than a minute for it to start playing after the page finished loading. I have taken the original video file, and split it into 6 files. I plan to have 6 tiles in the flash file as soon as the page loads, and when some tile is clicked, the video is loaded dynamically only that video or swf file so that it saves the loading time and once this is done, i want it to revert back to the main page with tiles. I am just starting off with flash and I have no clue how this is possible in flash. I am not asking for code, i need some tips to get started.
I have two buttons on a single frame that each play seperate sounds when clicked though actionscript is throwing up this error and I have no idea how to fix it.

The next bitmap I have is the problem. I started with working on creating the playable avatar. He is on the same layer, but he only works if I add him AFTER the tile bitmap has been completed, AND if I call him with a listener.Call me crazy, but this seems to be when it works. The main class builds the tiles into the bitmap data, and while this is running, if the certain tile is where the main character starts, it calls the Hero class, and that class creates the new bitmap data. Doesn't work before running the loop that adds the tiles, nor after. weird right?
I want a chart that has several separate series running in rows across. They are largely separate charts and should not overlap, but all share the same horizontal datetimeaxis. They don't share the same y-axis, however and that's where I'm getting stuck.I have tried having a linechart series and then a plotchart series, but it will only allow a single <mx:series> per chart without having them inside the same series which as far as I can tell will place the charts on top of each other in the z-axis. I can stack them and have them completely separate charts, but it was proving to be somewhat irritating having them align correctly.
Is there any reasonable way of combining multiple charts into one like this? Basically having rows in a table where each row is a different chart but the columns are consistent. or am I going to be best served just by stacking separate ones? an illustration of what i'm going for is here: http:[url]........
