I think you might want to look into Papervision3D to get exactly what you want. If not, your math logic is going to have to be crazy to get the results you are wanting. Your spacing stays the same because you are working on a 2D scale. If you use papervision, you might have better luck achieving

Re: [Flashcoders] Changing angle for better arrangement in circle

Hi, aside from the fact that the illusion of perspective depends on the items being scaled and the spacing not being equal, i see two options, a) limit the maximum scale, dirty but might be a quick trick. Either by multiplying it by some root or a hard limit. b) sum the (scaled) width of all

[Flashcoders] Restrict Copypixels to a Specific Rectangle

2010-04-22 Thread Elia Morlin
Say I have a BitmapData that is 500x500 pixels. I want to restrict the area that will be updated in a series of copypixel operations. For example I want to restrict the rectangle that will be updated in the target Bitmapdata to Rectangle(100,100,50, 50). How do I do that without using a mask?

Hey thanks for your response. I haven't tried with a different video or FMS just because of the randomness of the bug. It's not something I can easily reproduce by following certain steps it just kind of happens randomly. I never really thought the problem could be with the video or FMS since

Re: [Flashcoders] AS3 FLVPlayback buffering state never ends bug

2010-04-22 Thread Kenneth Kawamoto
Well the idea is if playheadUpdate is fired it means the buffering has ended even if it says still buffering. (You can monitor playheadTime/playheadPercentage as well for the same effects, as others suggested.) Another option is to use NetStream instead. You can monitor the buffering status

Hey, yeah I set something up so that I still use the buffering state entered event and then once that happens I set an interval to monitor the playheadtime and when that progresses i end the buffering. it works so far but we'll see if this bug pops up again somehow. haha. thanks again for the

sourceRect is one of the parameters of the copyPixels method. It describes which is the rectangle to be used when copying. No masking is necessary. This has the same effect as limiting the target area to a specific rectangle.
