Re: [Flashcoders] Screen rendering problem
I've already tried that. All coordinates already are damn round. Anyhow this has to to do something with animation since bug is not present if that sparkle thing is removed. 2011/1/28 Matt Folkard m...@plasticmartians.co.uk Yeah, I agree with Roger, sounds like something to do with cacheasbitmap and moving/placing things in fractions of a pixel rather than whole pixels.

Re: [Flashcoders] Screen rendering problem
Have you tried smoothing on the sparkle thing? Is it a bitmap? Might help.. Sounds like the alpha on the sparkle isn't staying alpha and reverting to black, basically showing the edge of the sparkle that should be transparent? But I am somewhat guessing.. :) Can you post a page for us to see? Best, Karl On Jan 28, 2011, at 5:17 AM, chiek...@gmail.com wrote: I've already tried that. All coordinates already are damn round.

Re: [Flashcoders] Screen rendering problem
That was THE idea. I played with sparkle and found out that it had blur filter attached to it. Bug is gone as that filter is removed. Obviously all object received cacheAsBitmap=true as that clip appeared on stage and now it's gone.

Re: [Flashcoders] Screen rendering problem
Also, if I am not mistaken, you should never cacheAsBitmap on any moving objects. I believe this is a no no on the processing end of flash as it has to cache it every time it moves. Unless it is a very small graphic.. but then why would you need to cache it. :) Best, Karl On Jan 28, 2011, at 6:55 AM, chiek...@gmail.com wrote: That was THE idea.

It is ideal for when the object remains unchanged but has moved to a new position. ___ Flashcoders mailing list Flashcoders@chattyfig.figleaf.com http://chattyfig.figleaf.com/mailman/listinfo/flashcoders
[Flashcoders] interesting discovery: full screen flash + IM
Hi list... I just thought I'd share this tidbit: A colleague was testing a Flash piece I did that goes FULL_SCREEN_INTERACTIVE. We were discussing it over IM (Microsoft Office Communicator). We noticed that when he was in full screen mode of the flash presentation, his status dot on IM went from green to do not disturb. Pretty interesting. - Michael M. ___ Flashcoders mailing list Flashcoders@chattyfig.figleaf.com http://chattyfig.figleaf.com/mailman/listinfo/flashcoders
[Flashcoders] E4X question: a dependency?
Hi list... clickedOne returns an xmlList for me. I can't figure out why, but when I comment out the var c assignment, clickedOne returns null. I don't use var c anywhere except to prevent clickedOne from being null. How can this be possible? Thanks for any replies, - Michael M. var c:XMLList = topicData[0].descendants(*).(hasOwnProperty(@title) @title == String(u[info][text])); // WHY IS THIS LINE DEPENDENT ON VAR C? var clickedOne:XMLList = topicData[0].asset.(hasOwnProperty(@title) (@title == String(u[info][text]))); ___ Flashcoders mailing list Flashcoders@chattyfig.figleaf.com http://chattyfig.figleaf.com/mailman/listinfo/flashcoders
