Flash :: Wavy Wand In Flash

BitmapData Magic Wand
Hello,

I need something to select all similar colors in a movieclip, like the magic wand in your favorite image editor.

I know it's possible with bitmapdata, but the problem is I don't know how.
The way I'm working now: if someone selects a pixel, it goes through the x-line and looks for similar colors, the distance between left x and right x is saved together with y. Then it goes one line down etc

The problem is, the code doesn't do what I want. Maybe someone with experience can help me out?

Here's what I have so far:

Code:
import flash.display.BitmapData;
var bMap;
var deltanr = 1;
var xx = 0;
var yy = 0;
var process:Array = new Array();
var itemMC:MovieClip = img_mc;
var aa:MovieClip = itemMC.createEmptyMovieClip("img_mc", 5);

aa._visible = false;
var mcl:MovieClipLoader = new MovieClipLoader();
var mclListener:Object = {};
mcl.addListener(mclListener);
//
mclListener.onLoadInit = function(mc:MovieClip) {

bMap = new BitmapData(mc._width, mc._height);
bMap.draw(mc);
overlook(4,1);

};
//
function overlook(xx, yy) {
var pixel = bMap.getPixel(xx, yy).toString(16);
var r = parseInt("0x"+pixel.charAt(0)+pixel.charAt(1));
var g = parseInt("0x"+pixel.charAt(2)+pixel.charAt(3));
var b = parseInt("0x"+pixel.charAt(4)+pixel.charAt(5));
var xa = xx;
var right = new Array();
var left = new Array();

while (true) {
var a:Boolean = isSimilar(xa, yy, r, g, b);
if (!a) {
//right boundary has been hit, mark it!
right = new Array(xa, yy);
break;
}
xa++;
}
xa = xx;
while (true) {
var a:Boolean = isSimilar(xa, yy, r, g, b);
if (!a) {
//left boundary has been hit, mark it!
if (xa<0) {
xa = 0;
}
left = new Array(xa, yy);
break;
}
xa--;
}
trace("pushed "+left[0]+"-"+right[0]);
process.push(new Array(new Array(left[0], yy), new Array(right[0], yy)));
upDown();
}
function upDown() {
/* check pixels below the pushed line*/
var sx:Number = process[process.length-1][1][0];
var sy:Number = process[process.length-1][1][1];
var beginx:Number = process[process.length-1][0][0];
var beginy:Number = process[process.length-1][0][1];
if ((sx<=200) && (sy<70) && (sy>0) && (sx>0)) {
for (var i:Number = process[process.length-1][0][0]; i<sx; i++) {
var pixel = bMap.getPixel(i, (process[process.length-1][0][1])).toString(16);
var r = parseInt("0x"+pixel.charAt(0)+pixel.charAt(1));
var g = parseInt("0x"+pixel.charAt(2)+pixel.charAt(3));
var b = parseInt("0x"+pixel.charAt(4)+pixel.charAt(5));
var aa:Boolean = isSimilar(i, (process[process.length-1][0][1]+1), r, g, b);
if (aa) {
overlook(i,(process[process.length-1][0][1]+1));
trace(i + "-" + (process[process.length-1][0][1]+1));
beginx = i;

}
}

}
}
function isSimilar(picx, picy, red, green, blue) {
var pixel = bMap.getPixel(picx, picy).toString(16);
var r = parseInt("0x"+pixel.charAt(0)+pixel.charAt(1));
var g = parseInt("0x"+pixel.charAt(2)+pixel.charAt(3));
var b = parseInt("0x"+pixel.charAt(4)+pixel.charAt(5));
var rb:Boolean = true;
var gb:Boolean = true;
var bb:Boolean = true;
if (r<red-deltanr || r>red+deltanr) {
rb = false;
}
if (g<green-deltanr || g>green+deltanr) {
gb = false;
}
if (b<blue-deltanr || b>blue+deltanr) {
bb = false;
}
if ((bb) && (rb) && (gb)) {
return true;

return false;

How Do I Get A 'wavy Curvy' Motion?
I've seen this in several websites... but am not sure how it's done.
There's a kind of wavy curvy motion... of a plain colour graphic...
It normally starts off covering a whole area... but then in a 'wavy curvy' motion moves up or donw to reveal what's underneath.

Does anyone have a clue what I'm talking about!?

Any help would be appreciated.

Thanks.

Smooth Wavy Movement
I was trying to make some cool looking smooth wavy enemy movement. Kind of something like the enemy movement in Bubble Tanks 2.

I can make my enemys go where I like to and do what I like to, but everything looks very abrupt. I would like to make them curve around when they change direction and even curve around a bit while moving. But I can't seem to figure out how. Any help?

Making A Wavy Mask Using CurveTo
I've got some code that reveals a mask in that swooshy/wavy style, which starts of nice and smooth at the top of the reveal but as it gets further down the page it speeds up and doesn't look smooth.

Here is the code. I've also attached the example of what it is doing. You need to click the pink alien to start the mask.

I've been looking at this code blankly for a couple days now and I'm still no further forward.

I'd really appreciate it if somebody could suggest where the answer to my problem lies.

Code:
//Global vars
mWidth = 600;

//Create movie clip and mask
counter = -1;
createEmptyMovieClip('holder',0);
createMovieClip();
animInt = setInterval(doAnim, 17);
holder._x =25;
holder._y =25;
function createMovieClip()
{
counter++;
holder.attachMovie('pic' add (counter % 2), 'pic' add counter, counter);
holder.createEmptyMovieClip('mask' add counter, counter + 10000);
holder['pic' add counter].setMask(holder['mask' add counter]);
}

function doAnim()
{
var currMC = holder['mask' add counter];

if(animIndex < 15)
{
var time = animIndex/15;
var dist = 0.5*Math.sin(Math.Pi*(time-0.5)) + 0.5;

with(currMC)
{
clear();
beginFill(0x000000);
lineTo(mWidth,0);
lineTo(mWidth,dist*225);
curveTo(250,dist*40,0,10*dist);
endFill();
}
}
else if (animIndex < 35)
{
var time = (animIndex-15)/20;
var dist = 0.5*Math.sin(Math.Pi*(time-0.5)) + 0.5;

with(currMC)
{
clear();
beginFill(0x000000);
lineTo(mWidth,0);
lineTo(mWidth,225);
curveTo(250-100*dist,40+150*dist,0,10+190*dist);
endFill();
}
}
else if (animIndex <= 50)
{
var time = (animIndex-35)/15;
var dist = 0.5*Math.sin(Math.Pi*(time-0.5)) + 0.5;

with(currMC)
{
clear();
beginFill(0x000000);
lineTo(mWidth,0);
lineTo(mWidth,375+75*dist);
curveTo(150,440+10*dist,0,450);
endFill();
}
}

animIndex++;
if(animIndex > 50)
{
animIndex = 0;
holder['pic' add (counter - 1)].removeMovieClip();
holder['mask' add (counter - 1)].removeMovieClip();
//createMovieClip();
clearInterval(animInt);
}
}
What I'm hoping to acheive is a nice smooth mask from top to bottom.

Thanks
Mark

[F8+ MX2004] Wavy Line Affect?
Well I guess I should introduce myself. Names Ryan, Im a psp guy and I want to create a psp flash site. Seems simple right? Well of coarse I want to make the site look just like a PSP's gui. The psp has wavy lines in the background to serve as a screen saver and to look pretty cool. Id lke to copy that idea and incorporate it into the background of my site. Here is a video of it in action (disreguard what the person is doing on the psp, this is just to showcase the gui).

Dashed And Wavy Lines Using Actionscript
OK, I'm stumped.
We have a piece of software created in Director which calls various Flash functions to draw different lines on the fly. These lines demonstrate various movements of football (soccer) players. You can drag a midpoint in a line to create a curved line. Now this is fine to do if the line is solid, so i simply use the curveTo function.

The difficult bit comes when I need to draw a dotted/dashed line along a curved path or even more confusing, a wavy line along a curved path. Can anyone give me any pointers as to where to look for guidance on this. I've trawled the net and can't really find any answers.

If anyone is willing to offer some helping in providing actionscript for this as well we're more than happy to credit you on the software (and give you a free copy!)

Many thanks

Fullscreen Continous Animation Of Wavy Lines
Hi there people!

Allright, here's the problem:

I have to make a fullscreen flash site, with some of the graphics have to do a continous animaton across the screen. The animated items are a bunch of simple wavy vector lines that have to move smoothly across from left to right at different speeds. An example that springs to mind is a heart monitor. Just sevreal lines (4-5) like that on top of each other, moving at different speeds to create a wavy "frequency" look...

My problem is that since we're dealing with 100% width, I dont the width of the clips, plus, I don't have a clue as to how to approach this, other than script it. Should I duplicate clips, attach from library or what?

Any pointer in the right direction is most appreciated...

Text Effects: Pinched, Wavy, Bloated Etc?
ok, i agree i'm posting many questions based on text and fonts, but i cant help it.. these things are making me go crazy.

well, i need to write AS 2.0 code for creating text effects like those we have in ms word clipart.. i dont need it to be all that complex though.
what i need is to make the text pinched.. so that if there's a word, the ends of the word are more in height but in the middle, its slim

then i need to make the text seem bloated.. which is exactly the opposite of pinched. then i also need the word to appear wavy.. as if the word is riding on a wave ya know..
then, i need the word to slant backwards and forwards
i also need it to have a dropshadow but i found stuff by senocular on it. so i guess i'll manage that by the filters and all.

please help me

Making A Flash Website (flash In A Flash In A Flash Etc...)
I am working on a flash "database" as it's called and to make this possible I will need to have multiple flash documents that load within a flash to keep the loading time down, otherwise the filesize would be astronomical!

To see what I am working on go to http://www.axeldesigns.com/h2/helpdatabase then click "menu button" to open the project. Hopefully then you can get a good sense of what I am trying to accomplish...So when you click on the individual links, I want a flash within the main flash to load completely on top with it's own load bar and everything.

I'm not very experienced with action scripting, but I am quite experienced with the animation side of flash and drawing tools etc...

So, if anyone knows of any tutorials or examples that I could work off of, please help me out.

Flash Over Html, Hide Flash Access Html After Flash Movie Ends
We've got a green screened video playing in a flash movie over top of our html content.

when the movie ends, flash uses external interface .api to call a javascript function which swaps the flash movie out with a 5 x 5 pixel flash movie (rewrites the <div>).

this works and you can interact with the html content after the flash movie in all browsers except firefox...!

anyone know of any work-arounds or is there a better way of handling flash over html in this fashion?

any input would be greatly appreciated!

Flash 8 Function Not Working In Flash 8 But In Flash 9

my_matrix2.scale(1, 1);
my_matrix2.tx = -2;

my_matrix.scale(0.25, 0.25);
my_matrix.tx = 0;
my_matrix.ty = 0;

I cant use the functions like flashApp.Getvariable(varName) or flashapp.TotalFrames() as mentioned http://code.google.com/p/flash-selenium/

I see documentation and functions listed at ( http://www.adobe.com/support/flash/p...h/scriptingwit hflash_03.html functions for Flash 5 ), i cant use them . I get exception all the time.

I am trying to access the varibales in the flash movie which is loaded using GetVariable but Selenium throws an exception but no information message.

I want to ask can I use functions listed on above adobe site with Flash 9 movie with Action Script 3.0 ? If not is there any way to get variables inside Flash movie using Flash External Interface and Selenium RC ?

Remove Double Click In XP For Flash & Show Flash In Firewall Protected Environment
Remove Double click in XP for flash & show flash inside firewall protected environment

Here is some code that will disable the annoying double click feature for flash when using XP. This code also enables all viewers to see your flash. For example some firewalls block flash (SO STUPID) but with this code instead of using the embed tags and object tags allows those users behind firewall environments to see your hard worked flash masterpiece.

Okay here is how you do it.
Inside your main file that is calling the flash .swf.
Remove the code that you currently have there and replace it with the code that is inside the putInsideIndex.html (see attachment)
Make sure that you change the name of the movie in that code so that it opens your swf. You might need to change the width and the height too so that you don't have your flash looking like a monster.

Alright then you need to take the other file called RemoveDoubleClick.js
Open it in your editor and change the name to the name of your choosing on line 12. Then post that file (DO NOT RENAME IT) into the same directory as the main file that you edited above. Most cases that would be the index.html or whatever.

So enjoy and start letting EVERYONE see your sites & be more user friendly!
GOOD LUCK!

Outputting Data In Flash To Text Documents, Creating Textdocs With Flash & Mc Filters
Question 1: How do I add a filter to a movieclip from actionscript,
More specificly, the "adjust color" filter, and I want to decrease brightness, saturation, hue, and contrast... by actionscript...
If you dont know what I mean, use the circle tool to create a circle, convert to movie clip, click the "filter" tab, then click + and add a adjust color filter, you'll see what I mean...

Question 2: I need to output text to 'text' documents, no I cannot use shared objects for this, as it is a program for a client, and it isn't safe enough for me...

Basically, this is what I want to do...

Code:
var archive:Array = [];
archive[7] = "Hello I am the 8th archive";

//save to a text document called "archive7" in the directory myProgramfiles
//finished with code...
then

on initilization of my program, it'd do this

Code:
//get text from the text document I saved in the directory "myProgramfilesarchive7"
Thats what I really need

Question 3:Is there a way to create a folder, text document, through flash
//example

Code:
var textdoc:TextDocument = new TextDocument();
textdoc.name = archive7;
textdoc.text = "Hello I am the 8th archive";
Can anyone tell me how to do this

Thanks in advance

I'm creating dynamic html fields within Flash and have been succesful calling javascript functions or launching browsers, but what would REALLY be cool would to actually call Flash functions with those href tags.

Does that sound like a possibility to anybody?

Or, alternatley, could a javascript function in the web page execute a function within the swf?

Create Java Pop Up From Flash Index Site To Standalone Flash Popup
Want bad help to create a javapop up link from index.htm flash movie with a enter button that leads to the other .swf that is a popup window with another .swf. How do I do that.

One more thing is there a real good downloadable on how to make "news" scrolls in flash the ones I have seen did not please me.

And is there a way to connect that "news" feed scroller to a text dokument for easier updates instead of having to redo the thing in the .fla file

Hope you understand my problems and I would really appreciate all help I can get.

Cheers

Best regards

Flash 6 Generator Equivalent To Export Dynamically Populated Images From Flash
I'm trying to do an automatic export of graphics developed in flash, for static site elements- graphic buttons.
Generator used to export images from dynamically populated templates, but MX does not support generator, Also being that generator ran with 4 and 5, dynamic text field sizing was not an option-this is necessary to fit the button graphics to text.

Is there either something that I can generate buttons with flash, or has anyone seen a button generator that can batch export and use imported graphics?

Thanks in advance!!!

Using Flash To Open A New Browser Window - Exact Size Of Flash Movie?
Hi,

In Dreamweaver, I've previously used the 'open new browser window' behaviour from a link to display my Flash movies, and entered the .SWF filename as the URL to launch (this launches a browser window thatls exactly the size of the movie, no scrollbars, buttons etc). Can I do a similar thing with Flash's 'get URL' command, or does that only go to HTML/HTM files?

Cheers, Skratch

Pass Variable To Custom Function Not Working In Flash MX For Flash 6 Player
I have a Flash application that I built in Flash 5 that I want to now output in Flash MX (not 2004, though) for Flash 6 Player. The problem is that part of my code, which works fine if published for Flash 5 Player, breaks if published for Flash 6 Player. I am loading text from an external text file, and then passing the text contents of each variable to a function (to strip line breaks). Following is the code... does anyone know how to rewrite this so that it will work as Flash 6 Player swf? The contents of the variable are not getting passed, and eval does not work on left side of expression... I've tried everything I can think of...

Thanks in advance for help.

-S

PHP Code:

/* content, correct, Q1, Q2, Q3, etc are all variable loaded from external text file. I am trying to pass contents of variables, which is why I need to eval them. This worked in Flash 5, but not in Flash MX if I publish as Flash Player 6 file.  */
temp = stripLineBreak("content");
temp = stripLineBreak("correct");
for (i=1; i<=10; i++){
     z="Q"+i
     temp = stripLineBreak(z);
}

function stripLineBreak(x) {
     tempArray = new Array();
     tempArray = eval(x).split("
");
     eval(x) = tempArray.join("");
     tempArray.splice(0,tempArray.length);
     tempArray = eval(x).split("
");
     eval(x) = tempArray.join("");
     tempArray.splice(0,tempArray.length);
}
