I'm using a Bitmap cache that stores down a few Bitmaps. I called scaleX/scaleY on some of them, but the next time I retrieve from the cache, the Bitmap is screwed up. How does scaleX/scaleY work with Bitmap?
View 1 RepliesI am trying to create a Japanese map where on mouse over prefectures (states) would zoom in by some 1.2. If I make every prefecture_mc as a separate layer, then they scale on under another which, when I create all 47 prefectures within one layer, then prefecture_mc:scaleY=1.2; is ignored. It was simple in AS2. besides it was scaling from the center
View 1 RepliesI have one Sprite which acts as a container for two other Sprites. One has a picture the other has a series of hotspots.
If i change the scaleX and scaleY of the picture, the hotspots don't line up anymore. Do you know the correct equation so that any scale i set will always make the hotspots appear at the right place?
I'm trying stuff like this:
hotspot.x *= scaleFactor;
hotspot.y *= scaleFactor;
but i can't quite sort it.

View 2 RepliesI'm using a tween on an imported file on MOUSE_OVER and MOUSE_OUT that will scale it X/Y up by 1.2. The problem is that the scaling starts in the upper left hand corner and moves out from that point. I want the scaling to start from the center.
Code:
new Tween(clipT,"scaleX",Elastic.easeIn,this.scaleX,1.2,.5,true);
new Tween(clipT,"scaleY",Elastic.easeIn,this.scaleY,1.2,.5,true);
i have a textField wherein i uses embedded fonts, the problem is when i change its size and i do not set the SAME scaleX and scaleY value, it seems to compress the letters inside it when i make it smaller, and stretch the text when i make it bigger... i tried using width and height values (instead of scaleX and scaleY but its the same result)... it seems that the embedded fonts are maintaining some kind of aspect ratio or whatever, and again this only happens when embedFonts is set to true

For a class project I'm working on "Pissed Off Pigs" (I think you get the idea, the pigs get revenge, don't worry, I'm not going to release it!) and I want to create circles with a fill from a bitmap (circles because the collision math is easier). Here is how they look now.
Of course, the white is the problem. Below is my "pigs" class. I've tried gif's, pngs, 8-bit pngs, etc and it seems to make no difference. The image itself is 20px square and the radius of the circle is 10px (so a 20px diameter). Here is the image I'm using:
And I know I should probably load the image outside the class and just pass the BitmapData when I make a new pig so I don't have to load the image every time I create a new pig but for now it works! (Sorta).
Oh, and I have checked bmpImage.transparent and it returns true (even when I don't specify true in the constructor).

Flash MovieClip scaleX not Scaling?
View 1 RepliesI can't seem to get bitmap.draw() to work. I've used it before in exactly the same way but this time Flash decides to put out this error:
"ReferenceError: Error #1069: Property draw not found on flash.display.Bitmap and there is no default value."
With the following code, tile1-5 are movieclips in the library consisting of a few instanced movieclips inside them.
Code:
// Add the tiles from the library into arrays for each area.
private var a1Tile1Bmp = new Bitmap();
private var a1Tile2Bmp = new Bitmap();
private var a1Tile3Bmp = new Bitmap();

I have uploaded a test here
Code:
a2.width = 300;
a2.height = 300;
b2.width = 300;
b2.height = 300;
Both clips in library have scale9grid enabled, but it just wont apply to the imported bitmap, just vector.
If there is no way around it, I cant imagine it is too hard to write a custom class that applies scale9grid to the bitmap aswell, maybe someone know if it has been made already?
trace(a1.scale9Grid); and chop the bitmapdata manually?
how a ScaleX/ScaleY event propagates down to the children of display object? I want to step in at some point and "re-scale" one of the children of a display object that has just been scaled with it's parent. I can't find any event that is fired, and ScaleX and width setters don't seem to be getting called on the child objects. I'm working on an ActionScript Project (not Flex) in FlashBuilder.
View 2 RepliesIn my current project I need to create a bitmap from the last frame of a video. For this I use:
Code:
var _vidBitmapData = new BitmapData(video.width, video.height, false, 0x0000ff);
_vidBitmapData.draw(video);
var bmp:Bitmap=new Bitmap(_vidBitmapData)
This works like a fairy in wonderland if I create the video with dimensions matching the stream:
Like
Code:
video =new Video(1280,800)
However, when I change the Video's size on receiving the onMetaData Event according to the actual streams width and height properties, the capture i get from _vidBitmapData.draw is still in the dimensions of how I created the Video. So if I do
Code:
video =new Video(10,10)
and then
private function onMetaData(metadata:Object):void {
video.width=metadata.width;
video.height=metadata.height;
}
I get a nice display of the video.
However when doing the
Code:
var _vidBitmapData = new BitmapData(video.width, video.height, false, 0x0000ff);
_vidBitmapData.draw(video);
var bmp:Bitmap=new Bitmap(_vidBitmapData)
I get a 10 x10 px image....
Checking Cache as Bitmap doesn't work, you have to .cacheAsBitmap = true with actionscript?
View 2 RepliesMy site is set up with next and prev buttons on the right and left sides respectively, and as you roll over either of the hit areas around the buttons a Sprite fades in which contains a TextField that describes the next page. Said Sprite calls the StartDrag() method, so it follows the mouse within the bounds, which is all fine and dandy on the left side of the page. Adobe, however, seems to have forgotten to put a way to dynamically alter the registration point of a Sprite, MC, whatever else, so when you roll over the right side of the page, the sprite is displayed from the top left and is mostly off the stage.
Trying to hack this problem I have tried numerous things ( classes written by others, other hacks) and the best that I have found is to use the scaleX method on the Sprite, changing the scale to -1. This, of course, makes the Sprite seem like it's reflected from its normal point, which means all its children show up backwards.
Is there anyway I can use this hack without it altering the text?
OR
Does anyone know a different way to go about displaying a Sprite from another corner? Any way to make a Sprite fade in and follow the mouse on the LEFT HAND side of the mouse pointer?
Here is a snippet to give an idea of what's happening:
naxtPage.labelBG.scaleX = -1;
nextPage.labelBG.startDrag( true, nextHitRect );
nextPage.labelBG.x = nextPage.labelBG.parent.mouseX;
nextPage.labelBG.y = nextPage.labelBG.parent.mouseY;
Im trying out some basic OOP.. and cannot understand where I am going wrong. It works within the timeline - but when I transfer to Packages It doesnt work where concerning the property of the bitmap. I have a 'MyClip' instance in the library. here is my bask Document Class package::
[Code]...
This is a two fold query involving the same issue. As you know, if you attempt to use bitmap.draw() with an object (image or swf) that is not in the same domain as the calling swf the bitmap will not draw. As described by Adobe livedocs, if Security.allowDomain() is setup in the calling swf then draw() will work. However, I cannot get this method to work. I have supplied an example fla (make sure to get the .as for it too).
1. How do I get Security settings right to permit bitmap.draw() to work with objects from another domain? (not any domain - just the domain I define in the allowDomain parameter)
2. How do I setup an event handler (listener) for bitmap.draw() so I can detect when it doesn't draw?

Use the flash CS4 tool's on a bitmap image after tracing the bitmap image and applying my settings?
View 10 RepliesI'm scaling onstage MovieClips via AS properties "scaleX" or "scaleY", which kills any kind of animation the clips have within their container MovieClip, be it Classic or Motion Tweens. When I don't scale the MovieClips, they animate fine. I'm able to tell the clips to "gotoAndStop" on their own internal frames, and that doesn't affect their animation within their container clip. I'm referencing the clips via AS w/ their instance names defined in the IDE. I've also tried different clips and recreated them, getting the same behavior.
Is it possible to scale a clip via AS and still have it animate within its container timeline?
Does applying an AS property to an onstage instance somehow dissassociate it from other timeline properties?
I'm probably missing something very basic but when I scaleX and scaleY 1 to 1.01, it sizes much larger than 1% and won't scale bigger by any smaller increments.

Im trying to get a shape i have created to 'grow' and 'shrink as it enters different frames. Ive imported tweenClasses and i think i have everything done properly, only the scaleX and scaleY properties seem to change the position of the shape as well as its size, so instead of it just growing, it moves from the side of the stage toward the centre while growing. Out of curiosty, i decided to try altering just the 'x' and 'y' properties but they dont seem to do anything. heres the code i have:
Code:
import fl.transitions.Tween;
import fl.transitions.easing.*;
var infoBox:Shape = new Shape();

I want to scale the Text in a TextField to 80% width. Problem seems to be that TextFields don't respond to ScaleX. and ScaleY uniformly scales the whole TextField. Does anyone know how I can accomplish scaling the text to 80% width? And I then need to use that TextField as a Mask for a gradient (I know how to do that), so the route of using a TextBlock doesn't work.
View 4 RepliesI am developing a fishing game and I have inside my fla file a movieclip of a pirate ship, one of the bonuses of the game. In certain parts of the game I have to flip the ship horizontally because it depends on the player that he belongs. He can be on the left side or right side of the screen. I have read that to flip a movieclip horizontally the command is:
Code:
mc.scaleX *= -1;
In fact, this command worked for me with a static movieclip that I drew.But with the pirate ship, this line of command makes it disappear. When I remove the line, the ship is in the right place and behaves as it has to behave but is turning to the opposite side.Does it have to do with the fact that the movieclip contains animations?Another solution that I've tried is to flip everything but because there are a lot of keyframes and layers, it is impossible to simply click on modify->flip horizontal. The ship moves with tweens inside the movieclip, so I would have to rebuild all the animations.
When I set the scaleX, it smooths. But this is not as efficient as redrawing the image (at least that's what I've been led to believe). But, scaling the image manually doesn't seem to smooth. Can someone tell me why. I'm using Flex and I add the image directly to a Group, so I have to wrap it in a UIComponent. Oh, and "this" refers to the Spark View component.[code]
