what henrik said, or stick them in sprites first and mask the sprites...
I'm a little lost. I've followed your suggestion and it *appears* I've
correctly added my sprites to stage, but nothing shows up, which either means
the sprites are not correctly added or, more probably I think, that the mask is
masking everything. Here's my code:
if (_bitmapFlag == false)
{
_fire = new BitmapData(865, 92, _bitmapFlag, 0xff);
_fireSprite.addChild(new Bitmap(_fireMask));
addChild(_fireSprite);
_fireSprite.mask = _fireMaskSprite;
trace(_fireSprite.mask);
_fireSprite.cacheAsBitmap = true;
} else {
_fireMask = new BitmapData(865, 92, _bitmapFlag, 0xff);
_fireMaskSprite.addChild(new Bitmap(_fireMask));
addChild(_fireMaskSprite);
_fireMaskSprite.cacheAsBitmap = true;
}
_createCooling(0.16);
_createPalette(_currentFireColor = 0, _bitmapFlag);
...
private function _createPalette(idx:int, _bitmapFlag:Boolean):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(0);
_alphaArray.push(255);
_greenArray.push(0);
_blueArray.push(255);
} else if (_bitmapFlag == false) {
_redArray.push(gp);
_alphaArray.push(0);
_greenArray.push(0);
_blueArray.push(0);
} else {
_redArray.push(0);
_alphaArray.push(0);
_greenArray.push(0);
_blueArray.push(0);
}
}
}
The trace traces that there is a sprite there, so that would indicate that both
sprites have successfully been added to the stage. Again, the if statement
where the var gp is less than 1050112 indicates that which should appear
transparent. Presuming it is a problem of masking too much, what do?
TIA,
George

[Flashcoders] startDrag stopDrag problem
I have loadbar with scrub point that I want to drag within loadbar

It starts to drag well with Mouse Down but not always stops with Mouse
Up. Sometimes that happened sometimes not. This event not always
appears. How to get it works stable in AS3.

Re: [Flashcoders] startDrag stopDrag problem
Have your mouseUp listener on the stage and not on the scrubber. Or else,
you would have to release on the scrubber for your function to be called.

I did that. I commented out this line:
_fireSprite.mask = _fireMaskSprite;
and nothing prints to screen. Therefore, it would appear that the mask is
applying to all of it. This is where I get confused. I'm thinking I must have a
problem in where I'm assigning my various values:
for (var i:int = 0; i 256; i++) {
var gp:int = new int();
gp = _fireColor.getPixel(i, 0);
if (gp 1050112)
{
_redArray.push(0);
_alphaArray.push(255);
_greenArray.push(0);
_blueArray.push(255);
} else if (_bitmapFlag == false) {
_redArray.push(gp);
_alphaArray.push(0);
_greenArray.push(0);
_blueArray.push(0);
} else {
_redArray.push(0);
_alphaArray.push(0);
_greenArray.push(0);
_blueArray.push(0);
}
}
When _bitmapFlag = true it's the mask; otherwise, that which is masked. When gp
1050112 it's that which should be transparent. Any thoughts?

[Flashcoders] FLAR: accessing the marker rotation properties
Hello, I'm working on a flAR project and I would like to have control over marker's rotation (actually I want the app. to detect the marker, and after that, stop detecting it and the code would tween its rotation properties) I don't need actually to rotate the marker, I could rotate the object that is added to the marker. I could add an object outside of the marker, directly into the display list, but I would then need to get the marker's rotation properties. Does anyone knows how to do it? Does anyone know a good forum focused on Augmented Reality in Flash ? Thanks in advance!

Re: [Flashcoders] How do I debug an Actionscript project in Flex builder?
So you cant compile at all because you have errors? If so, there should be a problems tab or icon, depending on your workspace setup. The icon looks like the top of a stop light - red circle on top of a yellow circle. Mine is on the bottom along with the progress icon. This can be different per user setup/view. Location aside, there will be a list of problems in the problem panel. Also, you should be able to see these problems in your code view as well - indicated by a red X next to your line numbers on the left side marking a line of problematic code. hth, Bob On Wed, Sep 8, 2010 at 9:41 AM, Volkan Unsal spockspla...@gmail.com wrote: I am trying to use Flex builder for the first time in years.

Forget about the mask until you get the output to work without it.
There was a fundamental error, now corrected. However, now what I get is black
fire against a blue background:
if (_bitmapFlag == false)
{
_fire = new BitmapData(865, 92, _bitmapFlag, 0xff);
addChild(new Bitmap(_fire));
_fireSprite.addChild(new Bitmap(_fireMask));
addChild(_fireSprite);
_fireSprite.mask = _fireMaskSprite;
_fireSprite.cacheAsBitmap = true;
} else {
_fireMask = new BitmapData(865, 92, _bitmapFlag, 0xff);
_fireMaskSprite.addChild(new Bitmap(_fireMask));
addChild(_fireMaskSprite);
_fireMaskSprite.cacheAsBitmap = true;
}
...
private function _createPalette(idx:int, _bitmapFlag:Boolean):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(0);
_alphaArray.push(255);
_greenArray.push(0);
_blueArray.push(255);
} else if (_bitmapFlag == false) {
_redArray.push(gp);
_alphaArray.push(0);
_greenArray.push(0);
_blueArray.push(0);
} else {
_redArray.push(0);
_alphaArray.push(0);
_greenArray.push(0);
_blueArray.push(0);
}
}
}
Most important is masking out the blue background. Please advise.

[Flashcoders] Best (fastest/memory efficient) way to animate bitmaps
What is the fastest way to animate a series of bitmaps (say 20 frames). Here's a couple of ideas: A single big image behind a frame sized mask, move it one frame onEnterFrame. A series of memory cached Bitmap objs, swap them using addChild/removeChild (or set visible?) onEnterFrame. A series of memory cached BitmapData objs swap them by resetting bmp.bitmapData onEnterFrame. Anything faster is nice too - particularly on mobile. Thanks!

I think I still don't understand the big trick of value objects. :-(
There really isn't any trick. Maybe that's the trick!
Simply put, a value object is just a container for a bunch of related
properties. Say you wanted to talk about people in your program. You'd
define the properties of a person, and incorporate those properties
within a class that contains nothing but those properties. You'd use
the appropriate data types for each property, of course:
[Bindable]
public class Person {
public var firstName:String;
public var lastName:String;
public var age:Number;
}
Then, when you wanted to talk about a group of people, you'd create
one instance of Person for each person in the group, and store it in
an Array or ArrayCollection. The advantage of this over just using
multidimensional arrays is that you get strict typing and
easier-to-read code.
