Hi;
I'm trying to tweak a script I found online to work for my application. The
problem I am having is to make a certain part of the bitmap that is created by
code transparent...but only a certain part of it. The code has the following:
_fire = new BitmapData(865, 92, false, 0xffffff);
Note
the alpha flag must be set to false, which is the source of my problem,
or nothing prints to screen at all. I need to make certain pixels
transparent. _fire is added to the stage and then called thus:
_fire.paletteMap(_grey, _grey.rect, ZERO_POINT, _redArray,
_greenArray, _blueArray, _alphaArray);
at the end of the script. The colors for the arrays are created thusly:
private function _createPalette(idx:int):void {
_redArray = [];
_greenArray = [];
_blueArray = [];
_alphaArray = [];
for (var i:int = 0; i < 256; i++) {
var gp:int = new int();
gp = _fireColor.getPixel(i, 0);
if (gp < 1050112)
{
_redArray.push(255);
_alphaArray.push(255);
} else {
_redArray.push(gp);
_alphaArray.push(0);
}
_greenArray.push(0);
_blueArray.push(0);
}
}
I
added that if clause to capture when the color is black because that's
where I need to make it transparent. The problem is that where I need it
to be transparent, it's blue (why blue I don't know). Is there any way
to make it transparent? The entire code follows.
TIA,
George
