Hi All, I am trying to mask an object on stage with a bitmapData Object that was generated from a movieclip. I am hopeing that this will enable me to use strokes to mask object.. Anyway, I've found an example online that will help me clone a movieclip, to a bitmap, and managed to keep the transparency of the original moviclip.. But not sure how to mask an MC with that...
I've uploaded an example online if it helps: http://www.kurst.co.uk/transfer/copyPixels.fla Here is the code: <AS> _root.createEmptyMovieClip( "container2", 2 ); container2._x = 170; bitmapData1 = new flash.display.BitmapData( 160, 120, true, 0x000000 ); bitmapData2 = new flash.display.BitmapData( 160, 120, true, 0x333333 ); container2.attachBitmap( bitmapData2, 2 ); bitmapData1.draw( container1 ); // container 1 is on stage var rect1 = new flash.geom.Rectangle( 0, 0, 160, 120 ); var rect2 = new flash.geom.Rectangle( 0, 0, 160, 120 ); bitmapData2.copyPixels( bitmapData1, rect1, rect2 ); toMask_mc.setMask( container2 );// this does not work... </AS> Cheers Karim _______________________________________________ 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
