[Flashcoders] Question on ByteArray acces.

Hello, I have a BitmapData and use the draw() method to add sprite data. Then I get the ByteArray through the BitmapData.getPixels() method. This byteArray is compressed and cached. Then when i need it, i decompress the ByteArray and use the BitmapData.setPixels() and add all that to a new

I've done this before but can't find my file(s). I am currently googling but haven't found the answer yet (I'm sure it's out there, just need to rediscover it). I have a circle, registration at 0, 0. If I have an angle from it's center, I'd like to get x,y where the angle would intersect with the

Hi, From the docs: Generates a byte array from a rectangular region of pixel data. Writes an unsigned integer (a 32-bit unmultiplied pixel value) for each pixel into the byte array. http://livedocs.adobe.com/flash/9.0/ActionScriptLangRefV3/flash/display/BitmapData.html The resulting byte array

I have the angle (say 0 degrees). The length would then be pixels from the center (ie. radius)? Yes, radius is pixel distance from starting point (in your case, the center point of the circle). Then you just need to convert angle to radians and you're good to go. var cartesianPoint:Point =

Okay this thing may be the coolest thing I've seen in a while. However it's acting funny. If I do this: var coord:Point = Point.polar( _radius, angle ); It works great. But I am after a point further out than _radius. So naturally I pad it a little... var coord:Point = Point.polar( _radius +

Hi, You have the position of the point in polar coordinates (radius, angle), so you want to get the point in cartesian (x, y) - this function converts it. You need the angle in radians though. It's shorthand for: x = radius * sin(theta); y = radius * cos(theta); Where theta

After seeing Jason's mail, I notice I should add that the angle is supposed to be in radians (i.e., degrees / 180 * Math.PI). However, he already provided a convenient set of functions, so you probably don't need that anymore... :) Mark On Tue, Mar 17, 2009 at 3:50 PM, Mark Winterhalder

Gustavo, Unlike AS2, in AS3 loading external clips into MovieClips does not add the MovieClip's children/properties to the root of the containing MC. Also, you are essentially adding a Loader component, instead of a MovieClip, you probably want to do loader.content instead (which isn't populated
