Glow/Bloom Effect Image Transition?
Hey all,

I'm trying to figure out if anyone knows how to create the glow/bloom effect used on a lot of images as a transition in flash galleries. The whites/lighter colors get amplified and "bloom" out cover the whole image in white and the next image fades in from the white...

Anyhow, does anyone know of an example available of this transition or how one might apply it to a dynamic image gallery? Thanks in advance for any help you can throw my way

Transparent Image Not Recognized As Transparent
I am loading a PNG with transparency into a UILoader. This part works correctly, transparency and all.

Now I need to find out the rectangle that is transparent. I found the getColorBoundsRect() function, and copied the UILoader.content into a bitmapData, but when I run the getColorBoundsRect it comes back with a Rectangle that has no width or height - IE, it finds no transparent pixels.

To test, I tried using getPixel32 on an area of the image I know is transparent, and it comes back to tell me that the pixel alpha is 255?

Applicable code is attached.

Attach Code

function rightImageLoaded(evt:Event):void {
var clBD:BitmapData = new BitmapData(735,600,true);
clBD.draw((evt.target as UILoader).content);
var transparentRect:Rectangle = clBD.getColorBoundsRect(0xFF000000,0x00000000,true);

trace(transparentRect);
}

My Image Is Transparent.
Im very new to flash and have been self taught so I do not know the fine details, but here is the issue I am having.

I have a button which when rolled over causes an image to fade up.

When the button is rolled off a movie plays called a "parked clip"

Im using this tutorial HERE

Well the problem im having is when the button is rolled over the image is fading up and stoping at about 60% fade up. Its playing all the way till the end but the image never becomes fully visable. So once it hits the stop command it should be 100% but is around 60%.

A few details... I have a mask covering a few of the different areas, but have deleted them and tested but had the same issue. I am not very good at actionscripting but I am using the stuff from the tutorial above.

If anyone can help it would be so very appricated. Thank you.

Transparent Image Import
Ok, I *kind* of was able to do this in Flash 5, but I either forgot, never properly learned, or it is different with MX. BUT....I am trying to import some images into my flash movie. They are items such as a snowboard, backpack, etc. I need the background on these images to be transparent.
I saved them as both a transparent .gif and .png using PhotoShop. But when I bring them into Flash, they are transparent, but have a pixelized white border around the product. That looks pretty bad against a black background.
I broke the image apart, and tried to erase the whiteness from the image, but it looks pretty crappy.
Can anyone please tell me if I am missing something, or please let me know an easier, better way to get it done? Thanks.

Transparent Image Importing
First Question: 
I'm currently modifying an existing .FLA file and I'm replacing an image with one of mine. I have created it within PhotoShop and saved it to a transparent Gif, but when I import it into FlashMX workspace it shows some of the background of the image and it looks like crap because you can see this white background around the shadow area I created on the image. How do I import an image into FlashMX without getting a background or partial diffusion of a background. Should I be using a differnet file format when saving my original file within Photoshop, i.e; .PNG or something else. 

Second Question: 
How can I use another music background from one Flash file when all I have is the .SWF file and not the .FLA file. Is there some audio recorder that I can use or audio extractor that i can download? 

Thanks in advance all.

Transparent Image Quality
I have created some text effects within photoshop and i would like to use them in Flash. I save them as a gif and use the transparency option, although it works the quality is not the best (i.e. white bits around the edges.) What is the best way to get good quality?

Please explain how to do this. thx

PLZ HELP Still Image Fade To Transparent
Hi. I am trying to make a still image (1 frame) where the right side of Image1 fades to transparent, so that it blends into whatever bg (Image2) I put behind it. I use FlashMX.

Note that there is no animation, no onEnterFrame, no motion, nothing moves over time. This is a still movie. It has 1 frame and 2 pics.
The topmost pic fades to transparent towards its right side, thereby blending in with the background.

Please explain how to do this. thx (It may not even be possible)

I've been looking for the answer to this problem for a few days now, please, if you can do this, please help.

Let me emphasize again, cuz some ppl aren't understanding:
There is no animation of any kind in my movie.

thx,
miguel3d

Importing A Blurred Transparent Image
Hi all - just upgraded to MX and wanted to see if this was at all possible? A designer has created a menu comprised of about 6 shapes stacked up together, offset along the Y axis by about 20 or 30 pixels or so. Underneath each shape is a small gaussian blur to represent a shadow beneath one item on the other. This menu was designed in Photoshop, so this is easily done. But I want import each shape and it's shadow into Flash seperately to create a dropdown menu that starts with one shape on screen, and when you m/o or click, the items drop into place beneath the first item.

I've having problems with the shadow. The shapes are easily redone in illustrator so that they can be saved as a vector format/swf, but how do I handle the shadow? Can a gaussian blurred shape be saved/exported as an .swf?

cheers

Adding An Image And Making It Transparent
Whenever I add an image, whether it is defined to have a transparent background or not, it always seems to come in with one. Then, typically I can edit it with the default editor (photoed) and define the transparent color. However, today I do not have the edit with PhotoEd option - have I imported it incorrectly or something?

Image Text With Transparent Background
hello flashkit friends,

i have a question in reference to using raster text in flash. I would like to use some stylized text (shadows, bevels, etc) on my site, but it needs to have a transparent background as it will be used on button faces and throughout the flash movie where the background needs to be shown through... now I know that using .gif will hold transparency, but it looks aweful whenever i import it to flash... i see this done everywhere so i know its possible and i was just wondering if anyone had any tips or suggestions for me...

here is a link to an example of what im looking for:
http://www.webfeatsdesign.com/pconf/

after the page loads zoom into the navigation menu and youll see the text is raster overlayed on the vector

any help would be great.. thanks again

Printing Transparent Image Backgrounds
Using: Flash MX 2004 and Photoshop CS2 (but also have Fireworks 8)

What I am trying to do is use GIF images with a transparent background in my animations and they work fine when viewing on a PC. However, when I try to print from the .exe or .swf they show a white background, and when printing from the HTML file, they show a black background.

Is there anyway to print a flash document without a background on transparencies? The only way I have gotten this to work is to use a mask on the image, but it's a pain in the arse and it seems there should be an easier solution. I'm even willing to upgrade (or downgrade) to another version of Flash if neccessary.

Thank you!

Copy An Image With A Transparent Background
So i'm trying to get this image of an abacus...

Apparentl yi can't show the URL..but if you google "abacus" its on the second page for me top row with a white background and a blueish colour..

and i'm trying to remove the background to a transparent state and then move this abacus into flash. So i downloaded one of the imaging tools, Gimp. I used gimp to select the white background, converted it to "Alpha" or transparency or whatever it's called.. and with that I then tried 1) saving the new image and opening it in flash, and 2) cutting and pasting the current image from Gimp into Flash, in both cases I end up with a BLACK background in flash and don't know what to do.

I am a flash novice so your advice would be most helpful in lamens terms, IE step by step. Thanks in advance.
