Copying greensock LoaderMax ContentDisplay item

In order to copy a ContentDisplay item and thus be able to use the same bitmap asset multiple times in your application, you need to clone its BitmapData and make a new Bitmap out of it. Like so:


public function getCopyOfAsset(asset:String):Bitmap
{
 // get asset from your LoaderMax queue
 var content:ContentDisplay = myLoaderMax.getContent(asset);

 // access and clone source bitmap's BitmapData
 var bmp:Bitmap = new Bitmap(Bitmap(content.getChildAt(0)).bitmapData.clone());

 return bmp;
}

Play M3U8 HTTP Stream through Flash Player using apple-http-osmf

Tried getting my video player to play back Apple m3u8 formatted dynamic stream. After some hassle with the apple-http-osmf component which reads in m3u8 files and prepares them for playback with OSMF I ended up hearing the sound, not the seeing video. I had been using the MediaPlayer and MediaPlayerSprite classes so far. After reading this issue I switched to using the HTTPNetStream class, as dani at electroteque.net used that to successfully build a HLS plugin for the Flowplayer . Now my stream is played back through a regular flash.net.NetConnection. In order to make it work you need the latest sources from apple-http-osmf and the osmf player 2.0 If you get the "Error: Quality level cannot be set at this time." - just comment that line out in HTTPStreamSource.as:330. Also you want to make sure that within at.matthew.httpstreaming.HTTPStreamingM3U8Handler.as the RATES_READY event is fired before the INDEX_READY event. See the working source below or do...

Drawing a line after an arrow that follows a path in a Flash MovieClip

If you've ever tried to draw a line after a moving arrow you know what a pain it can be to make it look good. Fed up with my cheap animation skills using masks and tweens I decided to do this using Actionscript 3. Turned out to be super easy with pretty result. Basically you have an MC in which another arrow MC moves along a set path. For example going from left to right along some curves. Now I wanted this arrow to draw a tail behind it: In the first mc set the instance name of the arrow to "arrow" and then use this script: var drawpic:MovieClip = new MovieClip(); addChildAt(drawpic,0); function startFollow():void { drawpic.graphics.lineStyle(5, 0xec008c); drawpic.graphics.moveTo(arrow.x,arrow.y); addEventListener(Event.ENTER_FRAME, followArrow); } function followArrow(e:Event):void { drawpic.graphics.lineStyle(ls, 0xec008c); } function killFollow():void { removeEventListener(Event.ENTER_FRAME, followArrow); } to start drawing, call startFollow function, to end it c...

Dropping Clips on Sprite Graphics V2

Follow-up to last post , here's a whole class that randomly drops MCs onto another using a MovieClip with blue graphics as base on where to throw. You would initialize the class like this: var airRaid:AirRaid = new AirRaid(new LandMass() as MovieClip, spots, "MSpot", 40, 40, 25); airRaid.addEventListener(Event.COMPLETE, doSomething); LandMass() would be your Sprite/MovieClip with the blue landmass. Notice the blue part of your land must have the hex code "cc". spots is a MC in the main class onto which "MSpot" named MCs from library get dropped. drops parameter is the amount of MSpots to be dropped, 40 in example. range would be the area to be left clear around each MSpot interval defines the speed in which to drop each one, in milliseconds. The AirRaid class looks like this: package { import flash.display.MovieClip; import flash.display.BitmapData; import flash.events.Event; import flash.events.EventDispatcher; import flash.events...
