Actually I solved this problem myself. Bitmap.draw(source) has an (undocumented) security restriction: source movieclip has to be loaded from exactly the same domain as the hosted movie (including the subdomain).
Otherwise draw() just silently fails, WITHOUT producing a security warning. -----Original Message----- From: [EMAIL PROTECTED] [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED] On Behalf Of Alec Matusis Sent: Thursday, May 04, 2006 4:29 PM To: [email protected] Subject: [Flashcoders] bitmap.draw problem in flash 8 I need to do the following: 1) load a jpg image into a movie clip A from a remote server (same as the server where flash the movie resides) 2) create a bitmap 3) attach this bitmap movie clip B 4) draw the jpg from movie clip A into the bitmap, so that it appears in movie clip B This works properly in the Flash composer, but stops working as soon as I put the swf file on the server. No security violation dialog appears, and it should not, since the image and the movie are loaded from exactly the same domain. I use this code downloadListener.onLoadInit = function(source:MovieClip){ var bitmap = new flash.display.BitmapData(source._width, source._height); _level0.mcB.attachBitmap(bitmap, _level0.mcB.getNextHighestDepth()); bitmap.draw(source); } var imgLoader:MovieClipLoader = new MovieClipLoader(); imgLoader.addListener(downloadListener); imgLoader.loadClip(image_url,_level0.mcA); When I put the swf on the server, all pixels of mcB (the target) have color value 16777215 , which is clearly an error, since this is 2^24 - 1, maximum color value. In the flash composer, the pixels have correct color values. Any idea why this is happening? _______________________________________________ [email protected] 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 _______________________________________________ [email protected] 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
