[Flashcoders] Using BitmapData to make a mask (AS3)

Hallo, I'm loading transparent pngs in as Bitmaps and placing them within a display object. I'd like to create a mask that is the same shape as the non-transparent pixels, (so that I can overlay a gleam animation). Is there an easy way to use a Bitmap or BitmapData as a mask that respects the

Re: [Flashcoders] Using BitmapData to make a mask (AS3)

You should be able to copyChannel the BitmapDataChannel.ALPHA from the image you loaded onto the bitmap you use for the gleam. However animating this then means moving only a single channel. Which may or may not be possible without reprocessing the bitmapData. It's only a rough idea, but take a

Re: [Flashcoders] Using BitmapData to make a mask (AS3)

Put the bitmap on a display container, set the .mask of the masked object as being that object that contains the bitmap, set cacheAsBitmap of both to true. So it'll be a normal masked object, but it'll respect the bitmap transparency (instead of using the image's box as the transparency mask).

Re: [Flashcoders] Binary Data Question

You can use the getPixels() method of the BitmapData class to get the raw pixel data as a ByteArray. Using setPixels() you can fill a BitmapData object with data from a ByteArray. You can post / retrieve that data from a server using a URLRequest object, specifying that you want to use a binary

Re: [Flashcoders] Binary Data Question

Well, that depends on the picture, but yes, generaly you'd load a jpg, png, etc, which are compressed formats. For instance, right now I'm seeing a 466 x 468 jpg. Its size is 34 Kb. Bear in mind that the compression ratio varies depending on the actual image and the compression rate / algorithm

Re: [Flashcoders] Binary Data Question

Compress it to a PNG or a JPEG - these formats will output a tidy ByteArray for you. If you don't have AMF or trouble with writing HTTP Post headers, you can always pack it into a Base64 encoded string. Use Loader.loadBytes() to load it. This is in fact synchronous but occurs asynchronously. I
