[Flashcoders] flash internal bitmap to PNG format ..
hi list - I have extracted some pixels from a bitmapData object... can someone tip me off how to convert this into a PNG file, or some other simple high quality format? Ideally i dont want a complex JPG encoder in AS, just a way to get data out that can be read by photoshop etc. bitmap.getPixel( --x, y ).toString(16) + | ; gives this in string format: ff|ff|ff|ff|ff|ff|ff|ff|ff|ff| ff|ff|ff|ff|ff|ff|ff|ff|ff|ff| thanks! /dc ___ Flashcoders@chattyfig.figleaf.com To change your subscription options or search the archive: http://chattyfig.figleaf.com/mailman/listinfo/flashcoders Brought to you by Fig Leaf Software Premier Authorized Adobe Consulting and Training http://www.figleaf.com http://training.figleaf.com
[Flashcoders] parsing XML RPC responses in AS...
hi - I am trying to display results of a web service app that is returning data in the XML-RPC format as per below. This seems very hard to parse in any of the tools I've found... XPath seems useless against it since the only thing different is the _contents_ (value?) of each name node. The node names themselves are all the same... Am I missing something? Can anyone suggest better ways to work with this type of data? methodResponse params param valuestruct member nameSCRIPT_NAME/name valuestring/index.php/string/value /member member namerequests/name value struct member namemsg/name valuestring//value ... membernamec_member/name valuestruct membernamec_member_id/name valuestring2/string/value /member membernamenickname/name valuestringoga/string/value /member membernamebirth_year/name valuestring1982/string/value /member membernamebirth_month/name Thanks! /dc ___ Flashcoders@chattyfig.figleaf.com To change your subscription options or search the archive: http://chattyfig.figleaf.com/mailman/listinfo/flashcoders Brought to you by Fig Leaf Software Premier Authorized Adobe Consulting and Training http://www.figleaf.com http://training.figleaf.com
[Flashcoders] grabbing bitmapdata from a vector movieClip...
Hi List - using the BitmapData class, its possible to read pixels from the screen, and save to a file. However, this only seems to read the pixels that you have drawn into the bitmap object. Is there anyway to capture the actual vector data on the screen? eg other movieclips etc. What i want is a way to basically do a screen capture, outputting the SWF /flash data to a file. thanks, /dc ___ Flashcoders@chattyfig.figleaf.com To change your subscription options or search the archive: http://chattyfig.figleaf.com/mailman/listinfo/flashcoders Brought to you by Fig Leaf Software Premier Authorized Adobe Consulting and Training http://www.figleaf.com http://training.figleaf.com

[Flashcoders] setInterval
hi list - i have some weirdness with setInterval, wondering if someone could suggest solutions? code: var intId:Number; img = new ImageLoader( imgUrl, tgtMc ); intId = setInterval(img, checkLoading, 100 ); // doesnt work intId = setInterval( checkLoadingFunc, 100, img); // doesnt work trace(setInt= + intId); however, all i get in all cases is undefined for the intId . the object is getting created fine... i also tried setting it within the class itself, still with same problem. the function is defined before this code in question, in case its a compiler/precedence issue. but no effect. have used intervals often before, so maybe there is some weird thing i never ran afoul of before...

Re: [Flashcoders] setInterval
hi - thanks for the help ... if checkLoading is on the root level, then you would say: intId = setInterval(_root, checkLoading, 100 ); great, this works. now i'd like to try and get it working inside an object... The second form is incorrect, no quotes there.. intId = setInterval( this, checkLoading, 100 ); // doesnt work so - this is wrong? Why not just use the built in onProgress event in ImageLoader? good point, but i wanted to write my own stuff first to know whats going on... /dc ___ Flashcoders@chattyfig.figleaf.com To change your subscription options or search the archive: http://chattyfig.figleaf.com/mailman/listinfo/flashcoders Brought to you by Fig Leaf Software Premier Authorized Adobe Consulting and Training http://www.figleaf.com http://training.figleaf.com
[Flashcoders] positioning + anchor points
hi list- I am trying to position some MCs on screen, and they seem to get located based on the top left of the -visible- part of the content. rather than the anchor point, or axis-point of the symbol itself. is there a way to control this? ive tried varoius moving the anchor point around (when i move the little dot in free transform mode). maybe i'm missing something - what is the behavior meant to be? or do i have to put a 1 pixel dot in the symbol to force its bounding box to a certain point? thanks for help! /dc ___ Flashcoders@chattyfig.figleaf.com To change your subscription options or search the archive: http://chattyfig.figleaf.com/mailman/listinfo/flashcoders Brought to you by Fig Leaf Software Premier Authorized Adobe Consulting and Training http://www.figleaf.com http://training.figleaf.com

[Flashcoders] loading a symbol (library item) into a new movieClip?
hiya - i want to have a movieClip symbol in my library of items, and then create an instance of this on the stage. is there a function to do this? I realize i could put an instance on, and then use duplicate with the instance name, but i want to get rid of these dependencies on stuff being onscreen, from the IDE. while we're at it, why does createEmptyMovieClip need so many params? if all i need is a handle to the clip, why do i have to make up a unique name (and make sure its unique) cant flash just create a dummy unique string id on te fly, and assume next highest level when its created? seems odd the programmer has to do this work... simply: clip = mc.createEmptyMovieClip(); would seem to be adequate... ? tx for any suggestions... /dc ___ Flashcoders@chattyfig.figleaf.com To change your subscription options or search the archive: http://chattyfig.figleaf.com/mailman/listinfo/flashcoders Brought to you by Fig Leaf Software Premier Authorized Adobe Consulting and Training http://www.figleaf.com http://training.figleaf.com
