Drawing point in flash - actionscript-3

I try to draw some points by coding. But the 1px width point seems has feature at the edge.
Even I try to draw some position ten times.
This is my code:
private function createPoint(radio:Number, rep:int):Shape{
var s:Shape = new Shape();
var i:int = rep;
while( i-- > 0 ){
s.graphics.beginFill(0, 1);
s.graphics.drawRect(0,0, radio, radio);
s.graphics.endFill();
}
return s;
}

private function drawPoint():void
{
this.addChild( createPoint(10) );
}
// param must be >= 1
private function createPoint(radio:uint):Shape
{
var s:Shape = new Shape();
s.graphics.beginFill(0x00ff00, 1);
s.graphics.drawRect(0,0, radio, radio);
s.graphics.endFill();
return s;
}
Will certainly work. You may not of been adding the returned shape into the display list.

As3 hittesting doesn't really work (nested)

I got a tank.
I got a hero (controllable character).
The tank has a nested movieclip which has a very thin surface area.
Yet, the thing detects a collision when it's not even touching the hero.
public class tank_sight extends MovieClip
{
private var _root:MovieClip;
public function tank_sight()
{
addEventListener(Event.ADDED, beginClass);
}
private function beginClass(event:Event):void
{
_root = MovieClip(root);
addEventListener(Event.ENTER_FRAME, loop);
}
private function loop(event:Event):void
{
if(this.hitTestObject(_root.hero.hitbox))
{
this.gotoAndStop(2);
trace("HIT");
fire();
}
else
{
this.gotoAndStop(1);
}
}
private function fire():void
{
var shell:Shell = new Shell(x, y, rotation - 180);
_root.addChild(shell);
}
}
What's wrong? I don't get it.
EDIT: Sight is rotating, so that's probably why. I tried using this code on the player class:
point = _root.tanks.barrel.sight.localToGlobal(new Point());
if(this.hitTestPoint(point.x, point.y, false))
{
trace("HIT");
}
But it doesn't work.. It never traces "HIT", unless I stand in some weird location at certain times.
hitTestObject works with nested objects also (display objects that have different parents), you should check logic of your game, and do some tests.
Simple example:
var squareHolder:Sprite = new Sprite();
var squareInner:Shape = new Shape();
var hitHolder:Sprite = new Sprite();
var hitCircle:Shape = new Shape();
hitCircle.graphics.beginFill(0x990000);
hitCircle.graphics.drawCircle(0, 0, 20);
squareInner.graphics.beginFill(0x009900);
squareInner.graphics.drawRect(0, 0, 40, 40);
addChild(squareHolder);
squareHolder.addChild(squareInner);
squareHolder.x = 200;
squareHolder.y = 100;
squareInner.x = 50;
squareInner.y = 50;
stage.addChild(hitHolder);
hitHolder.addChild(hitCircle);
hitCircle.transform.matrix = new Matrix(1, 0.5, 0.5, 1, 30, 30);
stage.addEventListener(MouseEvent.MOUSE_MOVE, function (e:MouseEvent):void {
hitHolder.x = e.stageX;
hitHolder.y = e.stageY;
if (hitCircle.hitTestObject(squareInner)) {
trace("Ding!");
}
});
Whatever you do with hitCircle (visible=false, trasparent fill, transformations) it will still work.

AS3 - how to get mouse events on embedded bitmaps?

I'm embedding an image, creating a grid, and trying to cast each embedded image as a DisplayObject so I can use MouseEvents on each image in the grid, however, I can't get a mouseEvent to work. Any help is greatly appreciated. I think I'm missing something simple perhaps.
public class ImageGrid extends Sprite
{
private var gridItems:Array;
private var grid:Sprite;
private var sprite:Sprite
private var reveals:uint = 0;
private var exceededNumReveals:SimpleText;
[Embed(source="../Assets/images/tile-grad5-108.png")]
public var imgCls:Class;
public function ImageGrid(tileSize:Number, numTiles:Number, rows:Number)
{
gridItems = new Array();
grid = new Sprite();
addChild(grid);
for (var i:int = 0; i < numTiles; i++) {
gridItems[i] = new imgCls() as DisplayObject;
trace(gridItems[i] is DisplayObject) //true
gridItems[i].rotation = 180
gridItems[i].x = (i % rows) * (tileSize)
gridItems[i].y = int(i / rows) * (tileSize)
gridItems[i].addEventListener(MouseEvent.CLICK, gridItemClick, false, 0, false);
grid.addChild(gridItems[i]);
}
}
private function gridItemClick (event:MouseEvent):void {
trace(event.currentTarget);
reveals ++
if (reveals < AssetManager.numReveals) {
TweenLite.to(event.currentTarget, 0.5, {y:900,rotation:Math.random() * 360, ease:Sine.easeOut});
} else {
exceededNumReveals = new SimpleText ('You have exceeded your number of reveals', false, false, null, true, true, false, null, null, 20, 'right');
exceededNumReveals.y = this.y + 300;
exceededNumReveals.x = this.x + 30;
addChild(exceededNumReveals)
}
}
}
}
Here is how I fixed it:
public function ImageGrid(tileSize:Number, numTiles:Number, rows:Number)
{
gridItems = new Array();
grid = new Sprite();
addChild(grid);
for (var i:int = 0; i < numTiles; i++) {
var imageHolder:Sprite = new Sprite()
gridItems[i] = new imgCls() as DisplayObject;
gridItems[i].rotation = 180
gridItems[i].x = (i % rows) * (tileSize)
gridItems[i].y = int(i / rows) * (tileSize)
imageHolder.addChild(gridItems[i]);
imageHolder.addEventListener(MouseEvent.CLICK, gridItemClick, false, 0, false);
grid.addChild(imageHolder);
}
}
Wrap them in an interactive object (MovieClip, Sprite, etc.) to add a Mouse Click Event to them. Bitmaps are not interactive objects.
bitmaps are not interactive objects, you will have to add the listener to the parent

Converting bitmap to vector in as3

I have been trying to convert a bitmap I've captured from a camera input into a vector to then convert the vectors points into an array for use later.
However I can not find any such functionality within Flash and so I've been trying to use 'Vectorization Package' created by Corey O'Neil. This seems to work but fails to remove the white background on my bitmap (I am capturing a picture of paper with a line on it). Even manually doing this and making the background transparent still yields no results.
Here is my code:
public class DocumentRich extends MovieClip{
public var initBox2D:Main;
var cam:Camera = Camera.getCamera();
var vid:Video = new Video(420, 300);
var myVector:Vectorize;
public function DocumentRich()
{
if(stage){
initBox2D = new Main();
addChild(initBox2D);
//addChild(new movieMonitor());
}
addEventListener(MouseEvent.CLICK, clickHandler, false, 0, true);
StartAnim();
}
function StartAnim():void
{
//SET UP WORLD
initBox2D.isDebugMode(false);
initBox2D.mouseDragEnabled(true);
Main.world.SetGravity(new b2Vec2(0,0));
cam.setQuality(0, 100);
cam.setMode(420, 300, 30, true);
trace(cam.height);
vid.attachCamera(cam);
addChild(vid);
addChild(go);
}
function clickHandler(m:MouseEvent){
trace(m.target.name);
switch(m.target.name){
case 'go':
goButtonFun();
break;
}
}
function goButtonFun():void{
var screenShot:BitmapData = new BitmapData(cam.width, cam.height);
var screenShot_image:Bitmap=new Bitmap(screenShot);
screenShot.draw(vid) ;
ReduceColors.reduceColors(screenShot, 0, true, false);
screenShot.colorTransform(new Rectangle(0, 0, screenShot.width, screenShot.height), new ColorTransform(2,2,2,1) );
///// --------- MAY NOT NEED THIS ----------- ////////////
for(var i:int = 0; i<screenShot.width; i++)
{
for(var j:int = 0; j<screenShot.height; j++)
{
if(screenShot.getPixel(i,j) == 0xffffff)
{
var transparent:uint = 0x00000000;
screenShot.setPixel32(i, j, transparent);
}
}
}
myVector = new Vectorize(screenShot_image, 23, 2, 1, 3, 0xFFFFFF);
myVector.addEventListener(Vectorize.INIT, traceStatus);
myVector.addEventListener(Vectorize.DESPECKLE_START, traceStatus);
myVector.addEventListener(Vectorize.DESPECKLE_COMPLETE, traceStatus);
myVector.addEventListener(Vectorize.GROUPING_START, traceStatus);
myVector.addEventListener(Vectorize.GROUPING_COMPLETE, traceStatus);
myVector.addEventListener(Vectorize.EDGING_START, traceStatus);
myVector.addEventListener(Vectorize.EDGING_COMPLETE, traceStatus);
myVector.addEventListener(Vectorize.DESPECKLE_PROGRESS, traceProgress);
myVector.addEventListener(Vectorize.GROUPING_PROGRESS, traceProgress);
myVector.addEventListener(Vectorize.EDGING_PROGRESS, traceProgress);
myVector.addEventListener(Vectorize.COMPLETE, showVector);
myVector.vectorize();
//addChild(screenShot_image);
addChild(go);
removeChild(vid);
cam = null;
vid.attachCamera(null);
vid = null;
}
function traceStatus(event:Event):void
{
trace(event.type);
}
function traceProgress(event:Event):void
{
var progress:int = event.target.percentDone * 100;
trace(event.type + ": " + progress + "%");
}
function showVector(event:Event):void
{
trace(event.type);
addChild(myVector);
}
}
Any suggestions?
Thanks.
UPDATE:
Sorry for any confusion, basically I would like a way to trace a transparent bitmap, and get an array of the points of the shape in said bitmap. An array of pixel data is simply too large... I'd like 4 points for a rectangle, regardless of it's size...
Apparently you are looking for BitmapData.getVector(). It's available from Flash player 10, so you should have it at your disposal.
EDIT: After I've reread your question, I understand you want your bitmap to be parsed into a vector - and a vector isn't an array of pixels, but instead a start and end of a certain line. Then yes, if you are capable of calling a threshold() so that the line's pixels will be of one color, and the background of another, you then can call getColorBoundsRect() and query all 4 corners of the rectangle. The ones which have the color of the line are your start and end coordinates, store these.

Change Alpha on Rollover; Not Changing Back on Mouse Out?

So I have a Tile class, with a sprite variable that holds the graphic for the tile. On mouse over, I ColorTransform the graphic. Seems to work fine. On mouse out, I try to change it back. Nada. And in fact, rolling over the same tile twice will increase the alpha until eventually it fades totally. Not sure how to fix it. Here's my code.
In the Tile class:
this.addEventListener(MouseEvent.MOUSE_OVER, thisMouseOver);
this.addEventListener(MouseEvent.MOUSE_OUT, thisMouseOut );
public function thisMouseOver( e:Event ):void {
tileGraphic.bitmapData = setAlpha(tileGraphic.bitmapData);
}
public function thisMouseOut( e:Event ):void {
tileGraphic.bitmapData = resetAlpha(tileGraphic.bitmapData);
}
private function setAlpha( bmd:BitmapData ):BitmapData {
var rec:Rectangle = new Rectangle( 0, 0, bmd.width, bmd.height );
var ct:ColorTransform = new ColorTransform();
ct.alphaMultiplier = .65;
bmd.colorTransform( rec, ct );
return bmd;
} //end function setAlpha
private function resetAlpha( bmd:BitmapData ):BitmapData {
var rec:Rectangle = new Rectangle( 0, 0, bmd.width, bmd.height );
var ct:ColorTransform = new ColorTransform();
ct.alphaMultiplier = 1;
bmd.colorTransform( rec, ct );
return bmd;
} //end function resetAlpha
Can anyone point me in the right direction? Thanks!
Replace the resetAlpha with
private function resetAlpha( bmd:BitmapData ):BitmapData {
var rec:Rectangle = new Rectangle( 0, 0, bmd.width, bmd.height );
var ct:ColorTransform = new ColorTransform();
ct.alphaOffset = 255
bmd.colorTransform( rec, ct );
return bmd;
} //end function resetAlpha
You should better change alpha of the container instead of playing with the BitmapData pixels. For example, in your case if your tile bitmap will initially have transparent pixels (fill it with 0x00ff0000 prior to drawing a thing and check if so), they will become opaque with codingbuddha's answer. So, change the listeners to the following:
public function thisMouseOver( e:Event ):void {
tileGraphic.alpha=0.65;
}
public function thisMouseOut( e:Event ):void {
tileGraphic.alpha=1;
}

augmented reality flartoolkit rotation

I'm trying to do some augmented reality projects with flartoolkit . I can now put simple 3d objects on my marker and it works fine , but I wanna give my project some events that the user can interact with . I'm trying to trace the rotation of the marker. there's a container:DisplayObject3D which my application uses to add the 3d objects , I traced this :"trace(container.rotationZ)" but it's just returning 0 . I studied another AR application's source code and it was using the rotation of it's container object without problem .and I think I should mention that I'm using the exercise file of seb lee delisle papervision3d course from lynda.com . anyone has any experience with flartoolkit? the main functions of my my code is as below:
public function AR_AlchemyBase()
{
super(640,480, false);
cameraParams = FLARParam.getDefaultParam(WIDTH * 0.5, HEIGHT * 0.5);
marker = new FLARCode(16, 16);
marker.loadARPattFromFile(new MarkerPattern());
init();
}
public function init():void
{
video = new Video(WIDTH, HEIGHT);
webCam = Camera.getCamera();
webCam.setMode(WIDTH, HEIGHT, 30);
video.attachCamera(webCam);
video.smoothing = true;
camBitmapData = new BitmapData(WIDTH *0.5, HEIGHT * 0.5,false, 0x000000);
camBitmap = new Bitmap(camBitmapData);
camBitmap.scaleX = camBitmap.scaleY = 2;
addChildAt(camBitmap,0);
raster = new FLARRgbRaster(WIDTH *0.5, HEIGHT * 0.5);
detector = new FLARSingleMarkerDetector(cameraParams, marker, 80);
result = new FLARTransMatResult();
viewport.x = -4;
_camera = new FLARCamera3D(cameraParams);
container = new FLARMarkerNode();
scene.addChild(container);
addSceneObjects();
stage.addEventListener(Event.ENTER_FRAME, enterFrame);
}
//the function to put our objects in
public function addSceneObjects() : void
{
var wmat:WireframeMaterial = new WireframeMaterial(0xff0000, 1, 2);
wmat.doubleSided = true;
var plane : Plane = new Plane(wmat, 80, 80);
container.addChild(plane);
var light:PointLight3D = new PointLight3D();
light.x = 1000;
light.y = 1000;
light.z = -1000;
var fmat:FlatShadeMaterial = new FlatShadeMaterial(light, 0xff22aa, 0x0);
var cube : Cube = new Cube(new MaterialsList({all: fmat}), 40, 40, 40);
cube.z = -20;
container.addChild(cube);
}
public function enterFrame(e:Event):void
{
var scaleMatrix:Matrix = new Matrix();
scaleMatrix.scale(0.5, 0.5);
camBitmapData.draw(video, scaleMatrix);
raster.setBitmapData(camBitmapData);
counter++;
if(counter == 3) counter = 0;
var imageFound : Boolean = false
currentThreshold = threshold+ (((counter%3)-1)*thresholdVariance);
currentThreshold = (currentThreshold>255) ? 255 : (currentThreshold<0) ? 0 : currentThreshold;
imageFound = (detector.detectMarkerLite(raster, currentThreshold) && detector.getConfidence() > 0.5) ;
if(imageFound)
{
detector.getTransformMatrix(result);
container.setTransformMatrix(result);
container.visible = true;
threshold = currentThreshold;
thresholdVariance = 0;
if(onImageFound!=null) onImageFound();
}
else
{
if(counter==2) thresholdVariance +=2;
if(thresholdVariance>128 ) thresholdVariance = 1;
if(onImageLost!=null) onImageLost();
}
singleRender();
}
I might not be able to help with the main problem but If you want users to interact with the models you need to set their materials to be interactive, otherwise they don't receive mouse events. Regarding the rotation...I might be missing something but it's the instances inside the container thar you're applying the rotation to, not the the container itself?
This helped me with getting a simple PV3D example running:
