RE: [Flashcoders] Flash security issue

2009-08-23 Thread Chris Foster 
You could also use a standalone webserver - I've used 'Server2Go CD-ROM
Webserver' before, it's quite customisable, and also gets me past all
those annoying security issues.

I like it as a solution because I don't need to do an extra version (as
an .exe) of my projects, and I don't need to force users to change
settings they wouldn't normally need to know about, and my
ExternalInterface interactions will still function as expected.

thats why i'm saying create a wrapper file for that swf.  take the swf
that is given to you from ad wonder and import it into a .fla file.
then make an .exe file out of that.

[Flashcoders] Re: Resizing Bitmap - Preserving Alpha

2009-08-23 Thread Karim Beyrouti 

Hmmm - figured it out a minute after posting...
Conclusion: I am a bit of an idiot... sorry for the noise

Here is the fix for the archives:

	var scaledBitmapData : BitmapData = new BitmapData( newWidth ,  
newHeight , true , 0x00FF );


Hope you are all having a nice weekend...

Hi All - I have this code that resizes a bitmap, which works very

However - it does not preserve the alpha channel. I am not sure

scaleFactor : Number ) : BitmapData{


var originalBitmapData:BitmapData=originalBitmap.bitmapData;

var newWidth:Number=originalBitmapData.width*scaleFactor;
var newHeight:Number=originalBitmapData.height*scaleFactor;

var scaleMatrix:Matrix=new Matrix();
scaleMatrix.scale(scaleFactor,scaleFactor);

scaledBitmapData.draw(originalBitmapData , scaleMatrix);

return scaledBitmapData;

 }

I am more than likely missing something obvious - so any clues would  
be very welcome...



Many kind regards
