Re: [Flashcoders] jigsaw puzzle piece algorithm
Hi, no i dont think its the same. Reading your story it sounds like every piece has a set of neighbours, with a maximum of fours neighbours. Taking your example: Initially each piece group property is an empty array, but for a group something like: A B C D a.group = [a,b,c,d] and b.group = [a,b,c,d] and c.group = [a,b,c,d] etc for : ABCD EF a.group would be = [a,b,c,d,e,f] You dont need to explicitly define a's neighbours, since its a grid, so you know how to find it's direct neighbour if necessary. greetz Hans On 7/28/06, Guntur N.

Re: [Flashcoders] Problems getting the brightness of a color returned from getPixel
to go from a 24 bit number to 3x8 bit colour components you can just shift it and mask the bits you need : var r=color 16 0xFF var g=color 8 0xFF var b=color 0xFF that should do the job.

Re: [Flashcoders] Loading Remote Images Cross Domain files - MoveieClipLoader
Hi all, Just thought I'd post up saying I solved the problem for anyone searching the archives. I was using onLoadInit to make the image fade in once it was loaded. For some reason, when using onLoadInit the whole loadClip called just doesn't get called at all for crossdomain images. When i changed it to onLoadComplete however everything works find. The crossdomain.xml file gets called and everything is fine. I'd been under the impression onLoadInit was better to use that onLoadComplete so i'm still at a bit of a loss in that regard, but the code is working and I'm happy.

I can't see how I should do what you sugest. Pease explain a little further. That number you're getting is a color. You're just seeing it in decimal form, rather than hexadecimal form. It's the same thing. For example, the value for white is either 16777215 or 0xff (the two are the SAME number, just represented in two different ways). On 0xff, the first ff pair is R, then G, then B. Like when you have html color, #ff. To extract the single R G and B values from a color, simply apply Martin's code to the color. var color = 0xffc1e2; // or the one returned by getPixel, same thing var r = color 16 0xFF var g = color 8 0xFF var b = color 0xFF Then R, G, and B will contain the values for each channel, going from 0 to 255. Calculating brightness from that is one whole different matter, though. - Zeh ___ 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
RE: [Flashcoders] Problems getting the brightness of a color returnedfrom getPixel
You seem to be thinking of numbers as if they are stored like strings. They aren't. RGB colors are stored as 3-byte (24-bit) numbers. For example, red looks like this in binary: b ...which is the same thing as this in hexadecimal: 0xFF ... which is the same thing as this in decimal: 16711680 To isolate, for example the red portion, you can use SHIFT RIGHT () to shift all bits to the right by 16 bits. Binary: b 16 = b Hexadecimal: 0xFF 16 = 0xFF Decimal: 16711680 16 = 255 Generally it's a good idea not to presume that there may not be more bits to the left, so you can filter them out using a bitwise AND (). To explain, this better, here's how to extract the green value from bright cyan (0x7F): The binary value of the color: 0111 Split into colors: 0111 Shift right 8 bits: 10111b 8 = In hexadecimal, this result is: 0x In decimal, it is: 65535 Clearly this is too large, because it includes the red value. To remove it, we use a bitwise AND. b 0xFF = b = 0xFF To illustrate, we are taking this value: b (=0x; =65535) ...and doing a bitwise AND with this value: b (=0x00FF; =255) This compares each bit in the first number to each bit in the second number. If both bits are 1 (on), that bit is 1 (on) in the result. If both bits are 0 (off), both bits are 0 (off) in the result. So the result is: b (=0xFF; =255) ...which is, indeed, the green value of the color. So Martin Wood's example (slightly edited): var r:Number = color 16 0xFF; var g:Number = color 8 0xFF; var b:Number = color 0xFF; ... is how to retrieve the red, green, and blue values from a single RGB color number. -- T.
