Flash :: Dripping Blood Effect

Dripping Effect.
I am attempting to create a dripping effect (Blood). I did do a search on the forum and locate the following thread.

http://www.kirupaforum.com/forums/sh...highlight=drip

From what I read, I did the following.

Created a Movie Clip . In the Clip I had a shape tween of the dripping effect. Stopping ( stop(); ) the drip on frame 30.

I dragged an instance of the clip on the stage and gave an instance name of "drip_mc".

I wanted the blood to look as it was dripping/streaming down a "wall."

The only script that came to mind..

for (i=0; i<200; i++) {
duplicateMovieClip("drip_mc", "drip"+i+"_mc", i);
_root["drip"+i+"_mc"]._y+=i;
}

I know there is much missing. It is a start. I do get the clip to duplicate but I am having trouble getting the duplications to go down the y axis to form a line. Right now it just layers (one on top of other).

Any Ideas or suggestions?

I am really trying to accomplish what I seen in the "Mr.Clean" effect in the thread link I posted above.

Appreciate any input.

Dripping Water Mask Effect
Hi everyone,

Does anyone know how they created the dripping water mask effect that reveals the images in the swf file located at the following address:

I have no idea how they did it and wondered if anyone could give me any clues.

Thanks in advance.

Blood Effect
Is there anyway to make a realistic blood splatter? I was also thinking about making font drip...how would you do that? I am guessing with a shape tween.

Is there any way to create some blood flow from the upper to bottom from the wall. (like something real)

Another problem is that when I want to change from one frame to the other frame, can flash do the ripple effect to do it?

[F8] BitmapData Ripple Effect
I'm having a bit of trouble coming up with the right approach to achieve a particular effect.

I want to make a "ripple" effect using BitmapData.draw(), such that the final image can be rippled vertically, horizontally, or both. I have written a rudimentary trial version of it that uses a translation matrix in cooperation with the clipping rectangle, but it is too processor intensive to apply the effect using this method at high resolution (i.e. using the clipping rectangle to manipulate each column or row of pixels individually.)

I was considering using a method that would draw all of the slices that share a common translation value along the graph of the ripple (advancing the parameter in multiples of Math.PI), but this would add complexity and execution time to the already sluggish for ... loop.

At this point, I'm looking at using a much lower resolution approach that would use a skewing matrix and a larger rectangle to simulate the ripple in fewer manipulations. Can anyone think of an easier way of making something like this with better resolution without compromising speed?

BitmapData Fire Effect
I'm working on a basic mouse-trailing fire effect. I got it to place I'm happy enough with the fire appearance, and I can get the motion, but I'm finding some strange results in performance. Here is my code:

ActionScript Code:
import flash.display.*;
import flash.filters.*;
import flash.geom.*;

// fire bitmap
createEmptyMovieClip('fire_mc',1);
var bmp = new BitmapData(550,400,false,0x000000);
fire_mc.attachBitmap(bmp,1);

// glow clip
createEmptyMovieClip('glow_mc',2);
with (glow_mc) {
matrix = new Matrix();
matrix.createGradientBox(200, 200, 90, 0, 0);
beginGradientFill('radial', [0xffffff, 0xFFFFFF], [100, 0], [0, 0xFF], matrix, 'pad', 'RGB', 0.3);
moveTo(0, 0);
lineTo(0, 200);
lineTo(200, 200);
lineTo(200, 0);
lineTo(0, 0);
endFill();
blendMode = 'overlay';
}

// track mouse
var prevPoint = new Point(_xmouse,_ymouse);
function onMouseMove() {
// draw a fire sprite
var mat:Matrix = new Matrix();
mat.tx = _xmouse;
mat.ty = _ymouse;
bmp.draw(flame_mc,mat);
//prevPoint = new Point(_xmouse,_ymouse);
noise_bmp.perlinNoise(30,50,1,1,false,true,1,true,new Point(offX+=4,offY+=9));
updateAfterEvent();

// glow
glow_mc._alpha = 100*Math.random();
glow_mc._x = _xmouse-100;
glow_mc._y = _ymouse-100;
}

// flame distortion effects
var noise_bmp:BitmapData = new BitmapData(550,400,false,0x000000);
noise_bmp.perlinNoise(20,30,1,1,true,true,1,true,new Point(0,0));
var displacement = new DisplacementMapFilter(noise_bmp,new Point(0,0), 1, 1, 50, 90,'clamp');
fire_mc.filters = [displacement];
var offX = 0,offY = 0;
function onEnterFrame() {
if (mouseIsDown) {
onMouseMove();

}
// noise movement
//noise_bmp.perlinNoise(30,30,1,1,false,true,1,true,new Point(offX+=4,offY+=9));

// fade the color
var matrix:Array = new Array();
matrix = matrix.concat([1, 0, 0, 0, -15]);// red
matrix = matrix.concat([0, 1, 0, 0, -15]);// green
matrix = matrix.concat([0, 0, 1, 0, -15]);// blue
matrix = matrix.concat([0, 0, 0, 1, 0]);// alpha
var col = new ColorMatrixFilter(matrix);
bmp.applyFilter(bmp,bmp.rectangle,new Point(0,0),col);

// re-apply displacement filter
fire_mc.filters = [displacement];

// glow fade
glow_mc._alpha -= 10;
}
function onMouseDown() {
mouseIsDown = true;
}
function onMouseUp() {
mouseIsDown = false;
}

You'll need a MovieClip which contains a firey colored radial gradient, and name it 'flame_mc'.

The problem is with perlinNoise(). Notice I have it commented out in the onEnterFrame block? That's because it causes significant lag. Not too surprising, but notice I again have perlinNoise() in the onMouseMove block? Well, at least on my machine, it doesn't create any noticable lag. MouseMove even executes with greater frequency than onEnterFrame(so long as the mouse is moving), so why is that? Am I doing something wrong here? I would just leave it in onMouseMove and be done with it, but the problem is then the fire doesn't billow unless you are moving the mouse. It fades(because I have that in the onEnterFrame) but the displacement offset upwards only occurs when you move the mouse.

Any solutions?

BitmapData Signature Effect, Please Help
Hey all,

I've been working on a tutorial for this for the last month, thinking that once I got it mastered, there would be a lot of interest in it.

I just don't get it, though.

Here's the idea:

You have a vector drawing in your library entitled, "signature", that represents the silhouette of a signature to be used as a mask.

You have a MovieClip on Stage entitled "signature_ani" which contains two MovieClips within it: "signature_mc" (an instance of signature from above) and "brush_mc" an instance of the symbol "brush" from the library.

"brush_mc" is tweened for position over a number of frames inside "signature_ani", making sure that there is at least one blank frame between brush strokes (when ever the brush is supposed to lift of the page, say to dot an i or start a new word).

So the idea is that if, on every frame, you add the "brush_mc" image to a BitmapData object called "brushpath_bmp", you should get a lumpy approximation of your signature's shape. However, in order for this to happen, the animation has to be real slow or you get "spots" where no "brush_mc" was copied because it tweened past it.

So, if you add to the tmieline of the "brush" symbol some code that basically looks like this:

ActionScript Code:
import flash.geom.Point;
import flash.geom.Rectangle;
import flash.display.BitmapData;

function initClip() {
this._visible=false;
this.bmp=new BitmapData(this._width, this._height, true,0);
this.bmp.draw(this);
this.canvas_mc=this._parent.brushpath_mc;
this.canvas_mc.moveTo(this._x, this._y);
this.canvas_mc.lineStyle(this._width, 0x00ff00);
this.onEnterFram=function () {
this.canvas_mc.lineTo(this._x, this._y);
this.canvas_mc.bmp.draw(this.canvas_mc);
this.canvas_mc.bmp.draw(this.bmp, this.transform.matrix);
}
this.play();
}
this.onEnterFrame=function () {
if (this._parent.init) {
delete this.onEnterFrame;
this.initClip();
}
}
stop();

and on the timeline of "signature_ani" you put:

ActionScript Code:
import flash.display.BitmapData;
import flash.geom.Rectangle;
import flash.geom.Point;

function initClip() {
delete this.onEnterFrame;
//setup the final masked image
this.source_bmp=BitmapData.loadBitmap("maskedimage");
//setup the holders for the mask and the animation

this.bmp=new BitmapData(this._width, this._height, true, 0);
this.mask_bmp=this.bmp.clone();
this.mask_bmp.draw(this.mask_mc);
this.final_bmp=this.bmp.clone();
this.final_bmp.copyPixels(this.source_bmp, this.mask_bmp.rectangle, new Point (0,0),this.mask_bmp, new Point (0,0), true);
//apply effects like filters and things to this bitmap.

//setup the holder for the brush strokes (which will act as a progressive mask)
this.brushpath_mc=this.createEmptyMovieClip("brushpath_mc",10);

this.onEnterFrame=function () {
this.brushpath_bmp=new BitmapData(this.brushpath_mc._width, this.brushpath_mc._height, true, 0);
this.brushpath_bmp.draw(this.brushpath_mc);

this.bmp.copyPixels(this.final_bmp, this.brushpath_bmp.rectangle,new Point (0,0),this.brushpath_bmp, new Point (0,0));
}
this.init=true;
this.play();
}
this.onEnterFrame=this.initClip;
stop();

What this should do allow you to take any image and mask a signature out of it (so the image is inside the signature). Then use the timeline to tween a movieClip that records not only it's position, but draws a line from frame to frame making the "path" that the brush takes continuous for each "stroke". Then the animation clip copies from the final signature image only those pixels already covered by the brush path.

I've had it working a couple of times, but I am just missing someothing because it is always just bit off.

If anyone has the patience to read through this and see where I have gone wrong, I would really appreciate it. I'm sure it'll be a rreally great tutorial that will really come in handy for a lot of folks, if I could just get the details worked out...

Thanks in advance for any input.

jase

(oh, and if you want source files, lemme know. I've only got about 300 versions that I have tried in various stages....

[F8] Page Turning Effect Using BitmapData
(also posted in the flash 8 thread)

Hello everyone

I need to make an animation of a turning page using bitmapData i guess (the images on the front side and on the back side of the virtual page are BMP's loaded at runtime)

Can anyone suggest a way of approaching this? Is using bitmapData and drawing each pixel going to be fast enough? Is there a better way of achieveing this effect?

thanks

BitmapData::draw(BitmapData) Doesn't Seem To Support Alpha Channels
Hi all,

I have a BitmapData object with alpha channels, bm1, and would like to draw it into another BitmapData object, bm2. While I can draw bm1 into bm2, alpha channels do not seem to work. Here is some code to illustrate what I'm trying to do:

// create an all-green but semi-transparent BitmapData object (all alphas are set to 0x80 in the constructor)
var bm1:BitmapData = new BitmapData(100, 100, true, 0x8000FF00);

// create an all-white BitmapData object and display it
var bm2:BitmapData = new BitmapData(100, 100, true);
addChild(new Bitmap(bm2));

// draw bm1 into bm2 in the onTimer() callback function
bm2.draw(bm1);

I would expect bm2 to be light-green, because it's semi-transparent, but it's 100% green, i.e., 0xFF00FF00.

I already tried all blend modes, but blend modes didn't make a difference.

Any ideas?

Btw, what I'm trying to do is to extract an arbitrary collection of pixels (as opposed to a rectangle) from a bitmap (bm1) by copying it into another bitmap (bm2) and using alphas of 0x00 and 0xff to select the pixels to be extracted. Is there a better way to do this? (or any way for that matter? ;-)

Thanks!

-Bernd

Blood
I have a question..

Probably is this not really hard to do, but anyway..

http://www.thebloodbrothers.com

If you look at this site, when you roll over for example a textfield the background gets in the background so you can read the text... still its not a buttonlayer on the top because you can still mark the text, so there is not a invisible button layer..

do you got any idea how they did that?

How Do I Do Decent Blood
Ive made (this animation/game thing, but im having problems with the blood on it.

Basically i used frame by frame animation for it, but the problems with this is:

1) it takes up loads of space. Eg. the blood for the chainsaw scene is 1mb of keyframes :S

2)It slows the animation down, as it keeps having to redraw the frames with the blood in.

So has anyone got a good way of drawing cartoony/realistic blood which looks good, but doesnt take up loads of space or slow the animation down?

Your help would be appriciated!!!

Flash MX is all jolly nice but what's happened to the dynamic textboxes?

I've got a movieclip called myclip

it's a dynamic textbox, and I've given it an instancename (mytextinstance) and a variable name (mytextvariable)

now I'm duplicating the movieclip and placing a different bit of text in each clip, or at least thats the theory....

myclip1.mytextbox.text = "think nice thoughts";

doesn't seem to work, neither does

myclip1.mytextbox.mytextinstance = "consider career change";

or

Dots Floating On A Wave Of Blood
Hi pals! :-D

Hey I'm trying to make these dots float on this wave script I found. If I can get them too then I'm going to turn them into ships! i also put two buttons in there that increase and decrease the wave height. Eventually I wanna make the ships be drag n drop able or shoot cannons at each other or something. Here is what I got so far.

Code:
kNbrControlPoints = 20;
kStartX = 0;
kEndX = Stage.width;
kBottomY = Stage.height;
kWaterLevel = Stage.height/2;
kWaveHeight = random(30);
kWaveSpeed = .001;

_root.onEnterFrame = function()
{
this.clear();
this.beginFill(0x480000, 100);
this.moveTo(kStartX, kBottomY);
for (x = 0; x < kNbrControlPoints; ++x)
{
var r = x/(kNbrControlPoints-1);
px = kStartX + r*(kEndX-kStartX);
py = kWaterLevel + kWaveHeight*Math.sin(r*Math.PI*1.1 + getTimer()*kWaveSpeed);
this.lineTo(px,py);
}
this.lineTo(kEndX, kBottomY);
this.lineTo(kStartX, kBottomY);
this.endFill();
_root.ship0._y = kWaterLevel + kWaveHeight*Math.sin(r*Math.PI*1.1 + getTimer()*kWaveSpeed + _root.ship0._x);
_root.ship1._y = kWaterLevel + kWaveHeight*Math.sin(r*Math.PI*1.1 + getTimer()*kWaveSpeed + _root.ship1._x);

[as3] Drawing BitmapData To Erase BitmapData
Hey there. I'm still working on my paint program, and I figured I'd try using the open source, raster-based drawing system from Bytearray.org to speed up drawing in some of my paint tools. The Raster class has some drawing functions that don't bother with anti-aliasing, so in some situations, implementing these methods results in faster code than relying on the Graphics package. I've gotten a nice speed boost from my rainbow paintbrush, which is pretty neat. Go open source!

Unfortunately, I can't get the eraser brush to work, even though its code is essentially the same as the other brushes'. And I've figured out why; the "erase" and "alpha" blend modes, which my vector-based eraser uses to erase the drawing surface, don't seem to work when you draw one BitmapData object onto another. I could put the BitmapData in a Bitmap object and draw that, but that's essentially converting raster data to vector, and then back to raster, which is far slower than any speed improvement I'd get from relying on the Raster class in the first place.

Has anyone here succeeded in using one BitmapData object to erase another, without "wrapping" the eraser BitmapData in a Bitmap object?

Bitmapdata
This works by creating a bitmap on the fly then loading 2 bitmaps with copypixels, but how do i work with a bitmap loaded in library from a file?

var bitmapData_1:BitmapData = new BitmapData(100, 80, false, 0x00CCCCCC);
var bitmapData_2:BitmapData = new BitmapData(100, 80, false, 0x00FF0000);

var mc_1:MovieClip = this.createEmptyMovieClip("mc", this.getNextHighestDepth());
mc_1.attachBitmap(bitmapData_1, this.getNextHighestDepth());

var mc_2:MovieClip = this.createEmptyMovieClip("mc", this.getNextHighestDepth());
mc_2.attachBitmap(bitmapData_2, this.getNextHighestDepth());
mc_2._x = 101;

mc_1.onPress = function() {
bitmapData_2.copyPixels(bitmapData_1, new Rectangle(0, 0, 50, 80), new Point(51, 0));
}

mc_2.onPress = function() {
bitmapData_1.copyPixels(bitmapData_2, new Rectangle(0, 0, 50, 80), new Point(51, 0));

[F8] Jpg To BitmapData
Hi,

I am trying to create a BitmapData object of a jpg that is loaded into a movieClip, so that I can then remove the jpg and have just the BitmapData of the image to manipulate. I have the original image loading into my temporary MC without any problems..and am using a listener to check to make sure that the image has been fully loaded before it moves onto creating an empty movie clip for the BitmapData... but for some reason the BitmapData isn't working as nothing shows up in my holderMC.. and it says the width of the holderMC is 0 when it should be something liek 367 for the 'surf.jpg' test image I am using. My code is below...I must be missing something stupid...can anyone spot what's wrong? Thanks! - b.

Code:
import flash.display.BitmapData;
stop();

_root.createEmptyMovieClip("tempMC", 1, {_alpha:0});

//set up MovieClipLoader
var theLoader:MovieClipLoader = new MovieClipLoader();
var theListener:Object = new Object();
theLoader.addListener(theListener);

theListener.onLoadStart = function(mc:MovieClip){
trace("started");
}

theListener.onLoadProgress = function(targetMC, lBytes, tBytes) {
trace("% "+Math.round((lBytes/tBytes)*100));

Bitmapdata
Hi

Lets say I have an image imported into flash of a character ( person ). I convert this to a movie symbol and call the instance "Character". I have the following code which creates a new bitmap movie clip:

import flash.display.BitmapData;

var NewBitmapData:BitmapData = new BitmapData(this.Character._width, this.Character._height, false, 0x00CCCCCC);

var mc:MovieClip = this.createEmptyMovieClip("mc", this.getNextHighestDepth());

mc.attachBitmap(NewBitmapData, this.getNextHighestDepth());

This works great to create a grey box the same size as the character movie. But how do I then copy the the character image to the new clip area?

BitmapData Help
Is it possible to capture part of the screen within a Flash movie using the bitmapData and send the data to a server to be stored as a image e.g. jpeg

This would then be loaded back into Flash later.

The idea is that people can drag and drop items to a location within the movie (a storyboard) and this is then captured. Later they need to see a miniture version of this but cannot move or alter the original image created.

Anyone got any suggestions if this makes sense
thanks

Bitmapdata
This works by creating a bitmap on the fly then loading , but how do i work with a bitmap loaded in library from a file?

import flash.display.BitmapData;
import flash.geom.Rectangle;
import flash.geom.Point;

var bitmapData_1:BitmapData = new BitmapData(100, 80, false, 0x00CCCCCC);
var bitmapData_2:BitmapData = new BitmapData(100, 80, false, 0x00FF0000);

var mc_1:MovieClip = this.createEmptyMovieClip("mc", this.getNextHighestDepth());
mc_1.attachBitmap(bitmapData_1, this.getNextHighestDepth());

var mc_2:MovieClip = this.createEmptyMovieClip("mc", this.getNextHighestDepth());
mc_2.attachBitmap(bitmapData_2, this.getNextHighestDepth());
mc_2._x = 101;

mc_1.onPress = function() {
bitmapData_2.copyPixels(bitmapData_1, new Rectangle(0, 0, 50, 80), new Point(51, 0));
}

mc_2.onPress = function() {
bitmapData_1.copyPixels(bitmapData_2, new Rectangle(0, 0, 50, 80), new Point(51, 0));
}

//i want bitmap_data 1 and 2 to be the bitmaps from the library

BitmapData
I'm hoping somebody can explain why this would work locally, but not online:

Code:
import flash.display.BitmapData;
this.createEmptyMovieClip("holder_mc",this.getNextHighestDepth());
loader = new MovieClipLoader();
loader.addListener(this);
loader.loadClip("photos/Sample1.jpg",holder_mc);
function onLoadInit() {
myBitmap = new BitmapData(holder_mc._width, holder_mc._height,true,0x00FFFFFF);
myBitmap.draw(holder_mc);
holder_mc.attachBitmap(myBitmap,this.getNextHighestDepth);
}
And yes, the image is properly placed on the server.

BitMapData
can anyone help out, duplicating mClips and bitmapdata. cant seem to get it to work when im making multiple movieclips

for (var i:Number = 0; i < $parsedObject.section[0].pic.length; i++)
{
var mHolder:MovieClip = b1.duplicateMovieClip("mClip_"+i,_root.getNextHigh estDepth());
var mHolderBMdata:MovieClip = b2.duplicateMovieClip("mClipBMdata_" + i, _root.getNextHighestDepth());

b1._visible = false;

oListener.onLoadInit = function(mHolder:MovieClip):Void
{
bmap = new flash.display.BitmapData(mHolder._width, mHolder._height, true, _root.getNextHighestDepth());
bmap.draw(mHolder);

mHolderBMdata.attachBitmap(bmap,300+2*i);
//mHolderBMdata._y = mHolderBMdata._x = 160;

mLoader.unloadClip(mHolder);
//img._alpha = 10;
mHolderBMdata._x = i*-33;
//mHolder._visible = false;

}
}

Example About Bitmapdata?
First of all, i am drawing a box with graphics api.....that is moveTo, lineTo,...

The top coordinates of the box are dependent on the distance from mouse thereby making it increase or decrease in size. Now the problem is i want to fill the shape/box/square with a bitmap, so i tried using beginBitmapFill(), but the problem is i don't know how can i make the bitmap always stretch/skew to fill the shape perfectly? That's why i am asking for a example, code, or theory/hint on how to fit the bitmap perfectly within the ever-changing shape! Please help!

BitmapData Help
import flash.display.BitmapData;
import flash.geom.Rectangle;
import flash.geom.Matrix;
import flash.geom.ColorTransform;

myColorTransform = new ColorTransform();
myMatrix = new Matrix();
//area=new Rectangle(0,40,50,50);
myBitmap = new BitmapData(20,20,true,0x00FFFFFF);
var xRect:Number = 0;
// animation_mc is 400 x 200. i am just tring to get the first row of blocks
for(i=0;i<20;i++) {
var area:Rectangle = new Rectangle(0,xRect,20,20);
trace(area);
var t:MovieClip = this.createEmptyMovieClip("holder_mc"+i,this.getNextHighestDepth());

t.attachBitmap(myBitmap, 1);
myBitmap.draw(animation_mc,myMatrix,myColorTransform,"normal",area);
t._visible = true;
//trace(this["holder_mc"+i]);

t._x = xRect;
t._y =20;
xRect += 20;
}
stop();

--------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
I have a movieclip "animation_mc" that i want to manipulate by slicing up the movieclip into individual movieclips. I am using the bitmapdata class to do this but when i run this, the "t" movieclip only slices the first square and then repeats itself. I am using the rectangle class to incremently move this slice over but it does not work. Any ideas? Thanks
