alpha-blecht soup
So I'm trying to make a nice sweet alpha for an image -- I wanted to use a vector.image for the alpha. But the vector doesn't have an alpha to extract. so... how would one CREATE an alpha from scratch? I'm looking at all the docs, createMask(), setAlpha(), createMatte() etc, but I must be missing something... there's no way to set an imageobject's alpha to an image, is there?

scaling images question...
I've been trying to do this all sorts of ways and now my brain is locked. I'm sure once the answer comes back at me I'll feel like a dope. Thanks in advance for killing my self esteem. I've got a bunch of images that I need to scale to fit a maxWidth and maxHeight; trouble is these images are all sorts of possible dimensions. Say we want to fit a 320x240 area, if I request a rescaling for a rect of 640x480, it will of course check for whether the requested rect is landscape or portrait, and scale it to meet the 320x240. This works fine for this: (taken from the handyman's digital portfolio at doug and changed slightly, whereas tMax and tMin are passed in): -- if tMem.width > tMem.height then --newHeight = (tMem.height * pMax)/tMem.width --offset = (pMax - newHeight)/2 --imRect = rect(0,0,pMax, newHeight) --destRect = rect(0,0+offset, pMax, newHeight + offset) -- else --newWidth = (tMem.width * pMin)/tMem.height --offset = (pMin-newWidth)/2 --imRect = rect(0,0,newWidth, pMin) --destRect = rect(0+offset, 0, newWidth + offset, pMin) -- end if but this really doesn't work, as the image passed in might not fit perfectly to a max/min -- it's really got to scale the image to fit whichever - the maxwidth or maxheight, no matter what the image dimensions are, ie: tPerc = (maxWidth/float(theRect.width) return(rect * tPerc) ?

Strangely enough, I opened the same file on the same mac I had a problem with in D8, but now opened it in 8.5.

linking to external files on the fly
I've got a question - built up this entire app that really uses external images as requested by the user. I've been: temp = new(#bitmap) temp.name = requested image's name temp.filenam = path to file Just fine, cept since there's so many to do, I'm afraid that there might be a memory overhead as these are done. Is it better to have a fake image that I copy and link that one rather than create a new bitmap for each one? Or is there just a way -- is it importfileinto- to bring an image into the cast without having a fake bitmap there first?

weird flash thang ...
Ok, I'm using some flash 5 members in an 8.5 project. Basically this flash sprite is being used as scrollbars, turning them off/on based on the amount of text to display. Nothing fabulous or anything, simple. It does this by flipping different scrollbar movieclips on and off. It gets it's directions to flip these from a sprite one channel higher, a text sprite. Both sprites set themselves on beginsprite as to the channel, etc on beginsprite me pBox =sprite(me.spritenum) end And that's fine, nothing more there. Besides the first sprite is set before the higher one is... Now in one case I get a function error, and that's when we jump to this frame with a bunch of text in memory to display. On the flash sprite I've got: on setScrollButtons me, whichBut, whichWay put whichBut && whichWay && pBox && pBox.member.type && ilk(whichBut) pBox.tellTarget(whichBut) pBox.gotoFrame(whichWay) pBox.endTellTarget() end scrollButtons me and the text member does beginsprite finds the text to display. sets its text then tells the flash sprite to flip the movieclips by doing sendsprite. When it does the setScrollButtons call I'm getting a function error, yet in the moviewindow/debugger: --"scrollUpMc off (sprite 10) flash string" pBox is sprite 10 (correct) pBox.member.type = #flash (correct) "scrollUpMC" = movieclip to tell target (correct) "off" = frame to go to (correct). It's almost as if the flash movie (INTERNAL by the way), although set as a sprite's member, seen as flash, etc, isn't seeing it's own movieclips / ability to tell target at the very beginning of it's existence?

problem with png files....
Ok, I've got a few flash members that I'm using as sprites, but not directToStage and I'm flipping through the frames as a behavior. On top of these sprites is a png interface.

Imaging lingo and text members...
I'm curious here - if I wanted to do the file directory viewer like a normal mac view, with little folder open/closed icons -- so I have an offscreen text member that I populate the listing. I'll then create an image buffer that will be the display size for the listing, and do a repeat loop of the lines visible in the member to add to the offscreen buffer, and put the icon next to the line, right (shorhand, sorry...baby getting ready for a bath). So should I create a property list of the lines (if need be) and add each lines rect, then for rollovers checking inside(mouseloc, rectlist[I]) to see if a line should be changed for the rollover, etc. Would I then update the member and redraw the buffer? Does any of this make sense?
