Flash :: Vector Shape Appears Jagged After GlowFilter
Dec 3, 2009
I'm trying to create some MovieClips with a glow effect when you rollOver and the glow effect dissapearing on rollOut. But when the rollOut is finished my background movieclip to which I apply the filter (a simple 20 x 20 vector circle) all of a sudden appears jagged, when before rollOver/rollOut it appeared smooth as it should. What could be going on here? I'm pretty new to AS3, thus the example isn't working properly yet. For instance:
* when you roll over the item the first time it immediately shows the end phase of the glow in stead of animating. I thought I'ld circumvent this with Tween.rewind() in the constructor, but that didn't do the trick.
* also I'm not sure whether the addEventListener for TweenEvent.MOTION_CHANGE is placed in the correct spot. I tried putting it in the constructor, but that resulted in the event being recieved continuously by _onMotionChange.
But the most important part is the jagged circle after the glow filter has dissapeared. This is what I have so far (abbreviated example):

I have 4 shapes which fit into 4 boxes and would like to modify my code so when a shape is placed in the correct box a movie clip appears e.g. if a triangle is placed into a triangle shape the movieclip for triangle appears. if the shape is placed into the wrong box a message appears saying try again.

Is there a way to take a vector graphic and translate it to ActionScript 3 shape code? I'd like to be able to create a graphic in Illustrator, and then instead of embedding or importing it into Flash, I'd like to draw the shape with AS3 shape code.

I create using actionscript to draw dynamic shapes
shape1 = new Shape();
shape2 = new Shape();
and draw some complicated things with actionscript that is done dynamically by user input
I need to save/export the drawing ,these shape as some kind of vector file
so this drawing can be manipulated later on by vector program as flash or illustrator

I have one class called Person that extends a Sprite. First i have a bitmap that i add to the sprite class: This bitmap is a transparent PNG. addChild(_imageBitmap); then i did some drawing in Flash that has the shape of this person and extended this to the SimpleButton. This way, only the edge or the inner shape is clickable. then i add this shape to this Person class too.

I am working on a project that some one else created. There were very orgainized, but my question is this: There is a starburst shape, and in the property inspector it is labeling as yellow burst, and that's how it shows in the library. But one instance of it is red in the movie, and I can not find it to change or delete as they called everything dynamically. how this was done, or how I might locate this object?

I have a code like the one bellow, that adds glow to the text.
var glow:GlowFilter = new
GlowFilter(); glow.color = 0x000000;
glow.alpha = 1; glow.blurX = 5;
[Code]...
The problem is that, I need to find a way, to later be able to get the glow color! I cant's find a way to retrieve the glow color....

I've noticed a bit of discrepancy of using the public AS3 API for the GlowFilter strength property. All the others seem to make sense when comparing the visual effect using the Flash CS5 tool on a MovieClip. However the strength seems to baffle me. The API lists strength being a number from 0 to 255:
http:[url]..........How does a number between 0 and 255 translate to a number between 0 and 100% as listed in Flash CS5. In other words what would be the parameters I should use to repeat the same effect as this:
If I try to apply this using code this is what comes to mind for each of the properties:
blurX = 5blurY = 5color = 0xFF0000quality = BitmapFilterQuality.LOWstrength = 255
So does strength of 100% act the same as the max value of strength allowed by the API, which is 255? Here's what happens when you do this with this code:
clip_mc.filters = [ new GlowFilter(0xFF0000,
1,5,5,255,
BitmapFilterQuality.LOW,[code]............
When I test this I get different results. Here's the filter effect as applied at design time:And here's the filter effect applied dynamically using the GlowFilter class (see code above):
Notice the slight difference in the strength? How can we accurately replicate filters given these two strength scales? I need to apply a class to a load of MovieClip objects at run-time and don't want to have to go into the library and paste the filter preset 100+ times.

Maybe the title is not self explanatory but in most iphone games eg you click the correct example and you see a +100 points mc appear and rise and alpha out. I did this with a png done in photoshop BUT not all goes well - it doesn't work.
[Code]...
It seens perfct but I can't see it work. The funny thing is that the custom currentBubble - with a dot after you see the code hints but a dot after pb100 - you see no code hints. Well not normal.

I am currently working on a flash website that has several flv videos on it. Since the website layout has a slight tilt, I have had to transform the videos to slightly tilt as well. The problem that I am having is that when I do this the image becomes very pixelated and the edges of the video become jagged. I have somewhat fixed the edges issue by making a mask around it but i really dont know how to make the resolution better, or what causes it to loose resolution when slightly transformed. The size of the videos is the same as encoded. All I do is tilt them upwards on the right side a bit.

I have been working on this banner ad using motion tweens (with scaling) for four objects, three road signs and a background. Sometimes it runs very smoothly, but most of the time, the four objects run in a very jagged way? Does it have to do with four motion tweens happening at the same time?

I am facing a curious issue. Generally when we draw lines in Flash either vertically or horizontally or through exact 45 degrees on either of the sides, they come out as straight and anti-aliased. While if they are drawn deviated from either 0 or 45 degrees, they come out as jagged. I want that to be anti-aliased too

I'm getting
ActionScript Code:

__AS3__.vec:Vector.ie.aro.floorplanviewer.model.buildingVOs:ConfigurationVO>[code]....
which surprises me as ConfigurationVO inherits from NodeVO.Is the compiler really not able to figure out that a Vector of a superclass should be able to hold a reference to a Vector of a subclass?

Using FLash CS5 and everything looks jagged when I view hte published version of my movie.Back in Flash 4 there was no jagged edges so what have I missed?Here's an image to show you what I mean.See the Black outline of the movieclip is flipping out. It's a normal vector based movieclip, no image or nothing.

I can't get the GlowFilter to work on a Shape that has already been ColorTransformed. Is there a limitation? They each work fine individually.

I have a file that dynamically loads JPEGs in two sizes (thumbnails and zoom). There is nothing in the AS concerning sizing, only loading and positioning.The site looked fine and now the pictures all have jagged edges to them (it's stained glass and the leading looks edgy instead of smooth). The photos that are loading look smooth upon uploading.I have them Publishing as, Flash Player 8, AS 2.0, JPEG Quality at 100, only Protect from Import is checked, I'm working in Flash CS4 on a Mac.

Flash has some serious problems with jagged edges on curved shapes. When adjusting a curve on a shape, flash shows that it is curved and then on releasing the mouse it turns into a sharp edge

I've tried many alternatives to get a text field to show the glow effect on the iPod, but none worked.
It works when I run a .swf on my PC, but the glow filter will not show up on my iPod Touch after I convert it into a .ipa with Flash CS5.5
Is there a method that will currently work?
Is this a bug or something not implemented yet?

I have an image slide across the screen, depending on where the mouse location is. It looks great in the Flash GUI, but once I publish it, the image appears to blink or go jagged as it moves quickly across the screen. I couldn't figure out if this was a monitor issue, browser issue, or something I'm doing in Flash. It appears to show up differently, depending on what computer I'm using. (tested it on a Macbook Pro, and using a custom windows xp machine) I've tried JPEG smoothing options in the image properties, and setting the quality to "best" in the embed code. (I am not loading these images externally, they're in the .fla)Anyone seen this before? Is it because the image is too large and can't refresh fast enough? (Flash is set to 60fps) [URL](Click on "Let me Play" option, then move the mouse side-to-side)
