With the one on the bottom being a lesser z access, and covered by the top (non-distorted view) you then distort just the mc on the bottom. You could even copy the bottom MC into a bitmap image. (hiding the real bottom mc) Then you can put your transformations on that copy and just recreate the bitmap of the bottom mc as you need for updating. Then you only have to update one MCs content and both will populate. Giving you the effect you desire with a little control. Well, something along those lines anyway.

What I would like to do is to have a Stage with a DisplayObject or perhaps several DisplayObjects – which can animate around. When these objects pass a boundary (1/2 of the Stage height), I would like to distort all those images by applying a Bitmap transformation… but only to the portion that crosses that boundary. The bottom half of the Stage would need to update itself constantly to properly display the effect in real time. I’ve done some Bitmap things in the past, but I am not quite sure what the correct approach for this might be. I’ve seen plenty of stuff where you can drag the corners of a photograph around ( http://edvardtoth.com/flash/**flashfun/basic-bitmap-** distortion-using-triangles-**and-uvs-source/http://edvardtoth.com/flash/flashfun/basic-bitmap-distortion-using-triangles-and-uvs-source/ ), but I’ve not seen where this could be applied to something like what I am after. Without digging too deeply I think I just need to update the BitmapData for the bottom Bitmap every frame – *but curious about the offset stuff…* I am looking for sage advice or even some code to get this rolling.

[Flashcoders] Question regarding Bitmap distorting bottom half of Stage elements
Greetings all, I made a quick post about something I'd like to solve and someone out there might be able to help me. http://imagineric.ericd.net/2011/06/16/question-bitmap-distorting-the-bottom-half-of-the-stage/ Here is a near copy and paste of the post describing the crux of what I am after... What I would like to do is to have a Stage with a DisplayObject or perhaps several DisplayObjects – which can animate around. When these objects pass a boundary (1/2 of the Stage height), I would like to distort all those images by applying a Bitmap transformation… but only to the portion that crosses that boundary. The bottom half of the Stage would need to update itself constantly to properly display the effect in real time. I’ve done some Bitmap things in the past, but I am not quite sure what the correct approach for this might be. I’ve seen plenty of stuff where you can drag the corners of a photograph around ( http://edvardtoth.com/flash/flashfun/basic-bitmap-distortion-using-triangles-and-uvs-source/), but I’ve not seen where this could be applied to something like what I am after. Without digging too deeply I think I just need to update the BitmapData for the bottom Bitmap every frame – *but curious about the offset stuff…* I am looking for sage advice or even some code to get this rolling. If it takes a while it might be interesting to see how you landed where you did and how I approached the problem. Thanks for any and all consideration. - Eric ___ Flashcoders mailing list Flashcoders@chattyfig.figleaf.com http://chattyfig.figleaf.com/mailman/listinfo/flashcoders

I don't need an animation package, a class that cuts a displayObject up, disassembles it on a pixel-level basis, explodes it out, and then reassembles the pixels of the displayObject in a different location.

Keep one spot someplace where you keep all your packages (yours and 3rd party). Then link to them there. If you want to use SVN, use that same spot. Keeps things uncluttered.

I think the stage has not yet been initiated, hence the addChild is

working.
Try to get hold of the stage first and then so an addChild.
While that is indeed a common problem, it is not the current problem.

[Flashcoders] AIR - the About Box
I am curious about the default About Box that comes up in OS X... can this be customized in any way? Right now it's app icon, title, version copyright information. One could always make their own native window and use that from a control within the application, but if someone uses the Application Menu to do the about - you get that default About Box. Can this be customized - or can the About app be hijacked to provide a custom native window somehow?

Re: [Flashcoders] Question about approximate vowel detection in AS3

I've tried running software voice vowels through the system and I am able to create signatures for the vowels that's somewhat accurate (depending on how it's influenced in a word or if it's standalone). I've run them several times and my values always seem to match (which is good). I end up with a very long stream of numbers for a signature because of the enter frame. I am wondering what the best way to compare the currents to over a period of time to match known values might be. What's a fast/best lookup means to check against? For instance, a spoken A for me looks like this: speech loaded 0.16304096207022667 0.16304096207022667 0.16304096207022667 0.16304096207022667 0.4167095571756363 1.840158924460411 1.840158924460411 2.3130274564027786 2.7141911536455154 2.7141911536455154 5.49285389482975 8.781380131840706 9.142853170633316 9.142853170633316 ...

Does anyone know how I stop FD exploding my XML when I press return.
If I type this:
var tmp:XML =
eventformathex/formattime{event.time}/timeoutput{event.output}/outputvalue{event.value}/value
/event
FD then changes the formatting to this:
var tmp:XML = event format hex /formattime{event.time}/time
output {event.output} /outputvalue{event.value}/value /event
e.g. adds extraneous whitespace to the XML which breaks it as far as the
compiler is concerned...

That is, even if the proportion of users viewing your site via an iPad is small, the reaction from clients when they realize their content isnt viewable on the magical device will be disproportionally large.

If you're sitting in a conference room in which 90% of the people have iPhones and there are a few iPads sitting on the table, arguing that the percentage of non-Flash users is negligible becomes tougher. That's definitely how Apple views this, anyway. That's the bet they're making. As a Flash developer, though, you are obviously going to bet the other way, right? Fortunately for us, I don't think that's going to happen. While 90% of the people in the conference room may have iPhones, I haven't seen any indicator that leads me to expect that sort of buy-in for iPads. I was just chatting with a creative director I know - a real Apple zealot - and he told me he didn't see any value in the iPad. The people in the conference room will already have MacBooks, etc, and Flash will work fine on those (once they release a version of Flash Player that uses the new hardware APIs that Apple just released - and that have been around in Windows for ages). And, you know, once people see that Flash can work well on other devices, maybe the iPhone won't be as popular as it is.

Remember anonymous functions in AS1/2 and why they were bad? It's not
quite as bad to use generic objects, but still not good practice IMO.
With VOs, you know what properties it contains, and that's very useful
in situations, like for example, when you attach data to an event and
want to use it on the other end. Believe me, VOs are worth the slight
extra effort they are to create.

Hi Jason,
Thank you.
So the personVO.as should look like this:

{
class PersonVO
{
public var firstName:String;
public var lastName:String;
public var phoneNumber:Number;
public var indicatorColor:uint;
}
}
Now I think I understand what you are doing, but I lost to see the
benefit of the VO over doing it with a generic Object.
Because it is now in a public array I can address everything.
Like this:
var personVO:PersonVO = new Object();
personVO.firstName = personnodex...@firstname; etc..
Or maybe I don't understand the VO concept???

Subject: RE: [Flashcoders] Quick question about dynamic groupings
Could you extend this with an example on the part of:
I typically do is load in XML data and create VOs from that (in my
Model
class) to use in my app.
Sure. Here is an example of what the parsing might look like inside
your model class. If your XML looked like this:
xml
people
person firstName=Hank lastName=Aaron
phoneNumber=7043237564 indicatorColor=0xe39132 /
person firstName=Fred lastName=Astaire
phoneNumber=9082321214 indicatorColor=0xe73721 /
person firstName=Judy lastName=Garland
phoneNumber=3107382234 indicatorColor=0xd4e355 /
person firstName=Marilyn lastName=Monroe
phoneNumber=3107673721 indicatorColor=0xbab5ab /
/people
/xml
Then inside your model class, you may have some code like this (which of
course would run after the XML is loaded):
public var personVOs:Array = []; //array of PersonVOs
private function createPersonVOs():void
{
for each (var personNodeXML:XML in myXML.people.person)
{
var personVO:PersonVO = new PersonVO();
personVO.firstName = personnodex...@firstname;
personVO.lastName = personnodex...@lastname;
personVO.phoneNumber =
Number(personnodex...@phonenumber);
personVO.indicatorColor =
uint(personnodex...@indicatorcolor);
personVOs.push(personVO);
}
}
So now, you have personVOs as a public property in your model you can
call and get the people information from their VO class. Does that
help?

Re: [Flashcoders] passing obj name
function shakeBtn(e:Event):void {
e.target.main.rotation+=Math.random()*8-4;
I think that should work

Re: [Flashcoders] passing obj name
Oops - I didn't truly read the email - my apologies. Storing the target is

Create a variable to store the item to shake:
var itemToShake:MovieClip;
flower.addEventListener(MouseEvent.ROLL_OVER,jiggle);
