Flash :: Converting Code To Pixel Bender Code?
Jul 9, 2010
I'm looking for some help converting as3 code to pixelbender code in an attempt to improve the performance of my application. This as3 code goes as follows. I scan through the Number values of a bytearray in chunks. Lets say this chunk lenght was 100 numbers I read 2 numbers (left and right) and try find the maximum values. The numbers in my bytearray are PCM data so there is millions of them and this code can often take a long time to execute, especially on a low spec machine.
The whole aim of this is to render a waveform as quickly as possible. I know very little about pixel bender. I can basically make a new file and create a shaderJob of it in flash but I'm really uncertain how to approach this...

converting the following code (i got from some site, i can't remember which) to on-frame code:
Code:
onClipEvent (enterFrame) {
with (_root.player) {
// Controls Player Speed
[Code].....
Basically its a movement and hittest script for a maze. It works great but I need it running within an onEnterFrame in the frame code.
Currently the code is on a clip which contains the clip "walls". and player is on the _root timeline.

Working on a Flash iOS app and I need to utilize a couple Apple APIs. I was thinking, would it be possible to write Pixel Bender classes to access their API? If so, could someone provide a small example to get started? Or is there a different / better approach for this?

I write a Pixel Bender kernal for my flash.I know that the pbk would run in another thread.But when I run my swf, the GPU usage shows 0%.I want to know does the Pixel Bender with Flash would use the GPU.

We create Flash games which are embedded within third party wrapper SWF files, which are exported for FP9.
If I create an FP10 SWF which uses Pixel Bender classes (Shader, ShaderData), when I run them in an FP9 wrapper within an FP10 player, an error is thrown
VerifyError: Error #1014: Class flash.display::Shader could not be found.
Is there any way to get access to these FP10 classes - or does the version of the outermost wrapper determine what's available to child SWFs? Is this something to do with applicationDomain?

I want to know relationship between flash cs4 and Pixel Bender Toolkit 2. Now I use Pixel Bender Toolkit 2 to make some effect,and use File->Export Filter for flash player,then it will creat a .pbj file. I don't know how flash cs4 use .pbj file? I use google to search it,but I don't find answer. Anyone could give me detail example about flash cs4 use .pbj file?

I am building a Flash Application which will allow a user to mix two mp3 files and send the mixed result to our server.
Using Pixel Bender I am already able to create a mix:
public class Mixer
{
[Embed(source="mix.pbj", mimeType="application/octet-stream")]
protected var NewFilter:Class;
[Code].....
Not sure if the event.byteArray can be transformed to an mp3 file? Ideally we'd send the mp3 to our server for uploading.

What is the best way to turn turn off (using PixelBender) colors that fall within a certain range. For example, turn off all colors between 0x0000FF and 0x00FFFF. This has to work in Flash.

I am writing a pixel bender filter to be used in Flash. When I run the kernel in Pixel Bender I can see and change all my parameters (float and float2), but once exported to a .pbj and embedded in Flash I get a "TypeError: Error #1010: A term is undefined and has no properties.". I have run a loop tracing the shader data and it does not show that the parameters are there I change the version number for each export and I am surely embedding the latest version.

i have a .swf which i have downloaded on the internet it is a animation that i would very much like to have it in my .swf however, when i am loading it and trying to control the .swf i get a error code.TypeError: Error #1034: Type Coercion failed: cannot convert flash.display::AVM1Movie@10d52701 to flash.display.MovieClip.
i searched the net for this error and it is because the .swf is compiled in as1/2 therefore i am unable to get it's "object" and control it.i have also decompiled the .swf and read the codes, but the codes are mostly done in as1/2 and i have no clue what it does, as i just started learning as3 , and have never touched as1/2.the below is the code decompiled, from what i understand it is used to "shift" the parts of the animation. which is a "fish" body part, to create a very smooth, swimming action. i have tried converting it to as3 code but i get errors where it cant find the variables.
function corps(objet)
{
i = 0;
for (;;) [code].............

According to the pixel bender specs a shader can have one or more outputs. The pixel bender toolkit, whose "export to flash" option tends to be preety strict about the flash specific do's and dont's, would even compile such a shader without complaints.
However actionscript's shader related classes seem to be geared toward single output shaders. Is there any way to have multiple shader outputs in flash?

I haven't seen many Flash games on facebook or other applications really utilize it yet (or appear to utilize it).
Are there some good professional examples of its use?
Is pixel bender just too slow for practical use on today's web hardware? I read that Flash will fallback to interpreted mode on older Macs (PowerPC), for example, but is that a deal killer?

I've seen some example of using a Pixel Bender for mixing two tracks together (per shader passes). However, would it be technically possible to write a Pixel Bender kernel that could do this?

Here's a snippet of a pixel bender shader that I'm using in Flash:
parameter float2 srcSize
<
parameterType: "inputSize";
inputSizeName: "src";
>;
input image4 src;
The width and height of the source image are filled in correctly in the Pixel Bender Toolkit, but when I run this shader as a filter in Flash Player 10, the srcSize value is not automatically filled in.

I converted a .swf file into .fla file using Sothink SWF Decompiler. I can open the file with Adobe Flash Professional CS5, but I cant see the source code. The only thing that I see is the timeline layers. I want to change the background picture of the Flash and save it as .swf.

I was wondering what the code to get something to go to a whole pixel value is. I'm using pixel fonts inside of a movieclip and when the movie clip is moved through actionscript and lands in a different spot with easing, the fonts look bad because i suspect that they are no longer on pixel values.

I'm doing a flashlight in pixel bender and works great. I pass, as parameters, the center of the flashlight.Now, I want to have more than one flashlights (n value).I don't think so I can use Arrays in Pixel Bender, so I thought about ByteArrays but I don't know how to use it in Pixel Bender.

The problem is I've created a nice elastic menu which I want to use with the rest of my project, but the menu only works if I publish to Flash 5, but I need it to be Flash 6.I've attached the file, maybe someone who knows a bit more than me can spot the problem. The file menu works perfectly in Flash 5, so I'm assuming there's some deprecated in the code that doesn't work with 6.

Simple question here, lets say you have a color in RGB, white:255, 255, 255Pixel bender needs values between 0-1 not 0-255.So white = 1, 1, 1What about:134, 132, 123I dont know how to work it out.

I am trying to create a custom blend mode much like the blur blend in Windows Vista, where all the of the contents in the windows behind the one on top are blurred. (I hope you understand what I mean.) I would like to accomplish this using a pixel bender effect, naturally. Unfortunately I can't get any kind of blurring (or for that matter, any image distortion at all) to work when I use a pbj file as a blend mode. These kinds of effects work fine as a filter, and seem to work fine in the toolkit as well, but don't seem to work at all in flash as a blend mode. it seems that flash doesn't allow you to sample any points except the current x and y that it is working on when used as a blend.[code]

Does anyone know why this code won't work in Flash Player 10, yet it does in the Pixel Bender Toolkit?The output is that there is no change to the movieclip I attach it to.I have verified that I can get other pixel bender filters to work.I can even do other things like force outPixel's channels to specific values.[code]

Since Action Script is an interpreted language, and it is clear by decompiling animations that the code is still in there, is there any function that lists the code of a function or class as a string?asically, I want to create a suite of components for developers that lets them make modifications to or at least view the code behind a component while the animation is running, and that way make it easier to find bugs, instead of having to stop the animation, dig up the code for that class, and recompile it. It would be even handier if it was possible to edit code while the code was running, so the next time Flash encounters that code, it will instead run the new code. Yes, if used unwisely, that could cause a lot of problems, but the benefit outweighs the risk, and that feature is used in such development environments such as Visual Studio.
Likely, the only solution to that would be to give each class a "code" variable, likely a String. Then when the users click the button to view that certain source, it checks for the "code" variable and displays the contents. The problem is that you have to remember to update the variable each and every time Perhaps I can write an extension for FlashDevelop that does that automatically? It could just update that variable at compile time.

Are there any other swf to HTML converters, I know there is Wallaby and Swiffy from Google, but does anyone know any others, that support ActionScript. I want to convert a swf file to HTML, but the swf has some ActionScript (AS3) code inside it that is used to populate the swf. I want to be able to convert this into HTML and use JavaScript to populate the HTML version.
