Re: [Flashcoders] Using BitmapData to make a mask (AS3)
Just wanted to point out that Glen's response is to Omar's (similar) question... so Omar, don't ignore this one!

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 look... You could also copy the alpha channel onto all the other channels of a new bitmapData which will give you a black silhouette which you could use as a mask. 2008/8/14 jonathan howe [EMAIL PROTECTED] Hallo, I'm loading transparent pngs in as Bitmaps and placing them within a display object.

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).
