Manipulating images

[OwenAus]

Hi guys.

That is interesting stuff, and thanks.

I need some software that will slice bitmaps into thin strips, in real time, and dish up the bits to flash. Diced images on toast! Might try to use some of the .net stuff available via c# etc.

Actually, first I think I'll try duplicating an MC with a bitmap and see what it does to the swf file size. And to user memory. And if I can get masking working across all those levels.

Have a prosperous 2003.


Addendum: The result - everything is perfect, except ...

The masking should, in theory, work really well with AS to create a tiny swf, smallish image, very good load speed!

Image is loaded into a movie clip.
This is duplicated.
Clips are shifted along a sine wave.
Masking clips are assigned to image clips.
Works great, except ...
... the masking won't work.

lol.

I guess setMask is not yet supported in KM. Putting masked shapes in the clips only seems to mask anything in the clip itself. I don't have a clue what to do to get around this.

hehe - well, it was just a diversion.

Thanks for the ideas, though.
