Flash :: Pixels - Have I Got This Wrong?

Pixels
hello!! I have a input field box with a scaling scroll bar. I want the number of pixels to show in the input field box. While I scale the MC, I want the number of pixels to show.
This is the frame action that controls the scaling MC.

screenwidth = "600";
setProperty ("/road", _xscale, getProperty("/x_sc", _x)*(_level0.x_sc/screenwidth));
setProperty ("/road", _yscale, getProperty("/y_sc", _x)*(_level0.y_sc/screenwidth));

Thank you so much for your help
Sonia

Why Not Whole Pixels?
Why does flash use decimal points of pixels? - e.g. you can place a movie clip at x: 32.1 pixels / y: 102.6 pixels.

Is there a way to turn this off? I'm constant having to make sure everything is positioned at a whole pixel or the movie/text becomes pixelated.

Want To See Pixels.
Hello everybody, So, I have these movie clips 250x250, that when clicked on zoom in closer and closer each time so that eventually you can see the pixels jittering around, which works, and looks great,...then I load all of these swf's into a holder swf , where they are on a grid, when you click on em, and you zoom in, but the pixels are no longer there,...instead, everything is kinda blured out. Im looking for the pixels,..where did they go, how did go there, can I go? and how can I get them back?...anyone have any ideas they would be my new bestest friend.

Pixels Are Moving
I'm doing a simple fade in, fade out animation with jpegs and the pixels within the picture appear to shift when I export the movie. This shifting doesn't appear when I play the movie within Flash and the images aren't moving...just the pixels within the pictures. I've never had this problem before. Any advice how to fix it or at least minimize the effect?
Thanks

Placed Images, At Least 2 Pixels Off
I'm working in FlashMX. I placed images in the position I want them and when I run the .swf the images appear at least 2 pixels off.

Why? All the other images appear to stay in place. I don't understand. Even if I position them 2 pixels off, thinking that it will compincate, it does not.

Pixels. Bitmaps. Grr
I've fought the nasty battle of pixel distortion before and won. This time, however, I played with complex masks (i.e., creating masks in symbols and then masking those masks, etc.)

This time, however, pixels don't jump, but there are colored lines through the b/w pix (check out URL)

I use guides, and the lines look like they correspond to where the various guides were, though that's probably my imagination. Checked it out on co-worker's machine -- same prob. Followed advice as seen on http://www.macromedia.com/support/fl...maps_shift.htm as well as from various posts I've found on different threads (i.e., not positioning images like x:100.1 y:50.6, etc.)

Any advice, commiseration, would be appreciated.

It's work in progress -- just need to get this resolved before I put more effort into other scenes, etc:

Pixels Moved
Hi,

I have an app where I show twice the same picture (bitmap). Running directly the swf works fine, but the html version shows one of the pictures with some pixels moved 2 or 3 points but only at certain parts (always the same). If I change the layer where the picture is it happens the same but the pixels are moved on another part of the picture. Help will be much apprecitted with this one!

Scrolling Pixels
Hello!

I have a little problem with regards to scrolling. I want to scroll an image that I don't want to get anti-aliased, and have therefore made a bitmap which I have traced using "pixels" fit mode, and made sure that it is placed on exact x- and y-coordinates (like 17.0 or 45.0). The image/pixels looks sharp and everything is OK.

Then I want to scroll the image, but don't know how to do to make the scoller only stop at exact y-coordinates. Half of the times it seems like the scroller stops at ie y=17.5, and then the image/pixels get blurred. This url shows what I mean...
http://enekull.nordicplaza.com/flashkit/ex.html

Does anybody have any good ideas?

I cannot write actionscripts myself but I have tried several of the ones available at Flashkit, but none seem to be able to give me what I want, and I don't know how to modify them.

With kind regards
Gustav

Fonts And Pixels
Is there a way to make a font snap to pixel like the objects? I guess I would have to edit the font then eh? I try yo have a pixelated font, but Flash MX smoothes even those that are pixelated! I guess that's because the fonts have percentage in their kerning and not pixels... If any one knows how to keep the pixel perfect aspect of a font please tell me! I'm trying to find a font that's similar to either Mac's Chicago or DOS but it is important for it not to be smoothed. I found AmigaForever to be close to that, but if anyone here uses a font in flash that stay pixelated, it's be appreciated.

Thanx!

VB Pixels Vs Twips
Hi, I have a problem with Twips in VB6. How do you convert pixels to twips and set this size upon a "shockwave flash" API?

I tried the following code...

Code:
'Convert to Twip Height/Width
WidthTwips = WidthPixels * Screen.TwipsPerPixelX
HeightTwips = HeightPixels * Screen.TwipsPerPixelY
'Set flash movie size in twips
flash.Width = WidthTwips
flash.Height = HeightTwips
This keeps giving me strange results on the size of the flash movie. Maybe this is a "ScaleMode" Property problem? I have no idea.

Can anyone help me do this?

[F8] HitTest With Pixels? O.O
Hi there, i am starting to get the hang on flash through reading various tutorials but there is one thing puzzling me! I have successfully created a hitTest with 2 movie clips but i am still unsure as to how to hitTest with a bitmap! For example, i want a square in a movie clip, to react when it hits a circle, however if the circle is a movie clip it becomes a square etc. Now what i would like to do it be able to draw various patterns myself with the brush tool and have it so that my square movieclip reacts when it hits this. Please cuold someone explain this as simply as possible to me as all tutorials fry my brain!! Thanks in advance!

[CS3] Refresh Pixels?
Hello,

I am wondering if there is a way through action script to have pixels of an image refresh to 72 dpi?

By that I mean, I have a rotating image (product package)controlled by the drag mouse feature. Thus it is 36 individual shots. I have imported the images in at 2x the size of the stage and scaled in Flash so i don't loose resolution when I zoom in on the image.

When I do zoom, the pixels get a bit garbled in the .swf up to the 2x size. At which point the image looks clear. It really shows on text.

Is there an action I can apply to compensate for this effect? I'd really appreciate an opinion or direction I can go with this.

My other solution was to "Trace Btimap". That works OK but takes a long long time per image. Not worth the time at the price.

Thanks,

Arnolfo

Zooming Out To 'pixels' From Flv
Guys i want to create some kind of zooming out effect from a flv.

I attach a simple example. Quite straight forward the video simply zooms out to individual pixels. It would be quick fast- say about 2 seconds from 100% video to sday 20000% zoom.

There are quite a few ways i could so this and wondered the best.

Prefer to use AS3 but im guessing i could manually tween something with jpgs or make an small video clip. There are a few of these videos so using a script would be more straight forward although it make take up resources to zoom all the way out from a video.

Thanks for any help.

Counting Pixels
Hi all

I’m using the bitmapData class to record movement from my webcam and I’ve stumbled upon a slight problem. I’m trying to get a value that represents the amount of pixels that are of a specific colour in a bitmap. The bitmap is updated every frame and compares the current and last webcam image. It contains 2 colours, the pixels that have remained the same are black and the pixels that have changed are red. I want to count the red pixels.

I had the idea that I could use getPixel to record about 100 pixels in the image but I think this would be fairly inaccurate and CPU draining. Does anyone know an easier method.

Thanks in advance

Missing Pixels?
Hi:
I am having issues with screen clarity at run time.

Background:
SWF A is loaded into movieclip Screener in SWF B. Both SWFs are set for 30 fps. SWF A and Screener measure 922x530. SWF B is about 100 pixels larger all the way around. The target screen resolution is 1024x768. SWF A contains a screenshot of a software interface that takes up the whole 922x530.

Problem:
When the presentation runs and SWF A is loaded and is playing in SWF B, we’ve noticed a slight blur (in some cases). In others, it appears that some of the words (which are on the software interface screenshot) appear to be missing pixels (i.e. parts of some letters are missing).

Efforts:
We’ve tried resizing Screener and have had some success, but for some reason, we cannot get it totally clear.
Any ideas?

Pixels Shifting?
Hello!
I am in the middle of working on a site for a friend of mine. Within his site you can click on Samples and then on an icon that appears, which opens a "window." On his computer, he says pixels are shifting slightly after they load, but only in the center of the image. It doesn't do it on my computer at home, and I don't think it has anything to do with flash...but I have no idea! Does anyone know what it is?
Here's the link to the site:

Unit Mm Vs Pixels
I wondered if someone could please explain something to me which is driving me nuts. If in Flash you change from pixels to mm, the workspace magnification completely changes. I'm basically trying to translate an inDesign doc which is in mm, but mm measurement in inDesign and Flash seems to look totally different. When the doc in flash is set to mm i have to zoom out to 80% to see the document how it displays when exported.

Any advice on this please?

Pixels And Millimeters.
Hi there,

I have a question about using millimeters in Flash.

In Flash (cs3) you can set your Document properties width and height to mm (also the ruler units).

In my movie I would like to set the width of a movie in millimers. So I thought to do it like this:

object_mc.width = 100; // the object_mc movieclip must get a width of 100 mm.

Unfortunately that's not working. It sees this value 100 as pixels. But when I put this number in the width field in the info panel it's just fine. So in the info panel flash sees this number as millimeters.

Is there a possible way to work with millimeters in actionscript? And is there even a way to adjust the DPI of the flash file?

Thanks, Peter

Ease : Pixels Instead Of _y
hi people

i'm using the following code to ease mc's

PHP Code:

MovieClip.prototype.easingY = function(toY){ this.onEnterFrame = function(){ this._y -= (this._y-toY)/3; if(this._y > toY-4 && this._y < toY+4){ this._y = toY; delete this.onEnterFrame } } }

now i have to provide a Y position to move to...is it possible to change this code so that instead of providing a Y position i give it a amount of pixels to move (up/down)? ex. move 100 pixels UP from current y or move 222 pixels down..

thanks

Tween Over 0.x Pixels?
Hiya!

I've noticed that when you tween something, say, an mc 10 pixels in the x-axis over 4 seconds, the animation is really jerky since Flash only moves the object 1 pixel at a time. It is possible to place objects on stage at for example 5.3 pixels though. Can you make flash move objects in 0.1 pixel increments?

I hope you understand what I am saying, feel kinda incoherent

Thanks!

Pixels In Flash
this post is similar to many others about problems with displaying pixels sharply in flash, but most posts rarely address animation with pixel art and how to do it in flash. for example: http://www.tongsville.com/city/

the people on the street have clearly defined pixels, and they're not perfect rectangles, so when they walk over the background street scene, you can see the street scene behind them. but whenever i import any bitmaps into flash, they are not transparent so you cannot see what is behind them if they are any shape other than a rectangle.

how is this done?! how can i make a flash movie like that?

Sizes Are Off By ~0.5 Pixels
No matter what I'm trying to do, I find that typing in sizes of objects or x/y positions, flash mx will randomly append a 0.1 pixel difference.

If I want the X:300, I'll get:

X:299.9

or

X:300.1

Sure enough, this is throwing off my design. The objects I'm positioning are merely rectangles with fills and strokes. Is there a reason for this? Can I get around it? Sometimes, I'll retype in the value and it'll take it the right way. And other times, It'll still stay at 0.1 off from the value I want.

Random Pixels
Hi,

I have a design idea here:
http://closebrackets.com/ext/bitbasic/try.swf

At the moment it is just a bunch of gifs being scrolled through, if you look carefully you will see the same pattern every so often.

I would like to generate this pattern randomly, but my code sucks. I got it working but even on my MacBook Pro the animation is sluggish so my script must really be bad.
http://closebrackets.com/ext/bitbasic/bitbasic.swf

I start by creating 40*40 pixels, each named colour0, colour1, colour2, etc. Each colour has 6 frames, one per each colour.

Code:
_root.artSize = 40;
_root.colours = 6;
///
mouseListener = new Object();
mouseListener.onMouseMove = function() {
for (i=0; i<Math.pow(_root.artSize, 2); i++) {
_root.contents.art["colour"+i].gotoAndStop(Math.round((Math.random()*(_root.colours-1))+1));
if (Math.random()>0.5) {
_root.contents.art["colour"+i]._visible = false;
} else {
_root.contents.art["colour"+i]._visible = true;
}
}
};
Mouse.addListener(mouseListener);
Any suggestions on how to achieve what I want using better code?

Thanks, James.

the images are so much clearer and crisper, and truer to their original form. I KNOW setting quality to low makes them as I need them, but it also makes the vectors look like garbage.... bacardi has it in such a way that the graphics stay bitmappy and the restlooks smooth....
