Import of bitmap images

When you import bitmap images in Flash, when you have a choice of what format use, what format is better and why? Or y at - it a 'best '? I saw advice that PNG is better, but if so why? A minor issue, I admit, but one I've had since I started to learn Flash a few months ago... frank

PNG is not compressed - it is always better to compress once - therefore if you import in JPG format (already
compressed) then flash will apply compression again when exported.

Just like with audio - I import as uncompressed WAV and then adjust the compression level of
within Flash. More control over the sound quality of this way.

PNG supports also - alpha (done but it's GIF GIF.. compressed format).

  • Does anyone has knowledge with the import of bitmap images that display perfectly similar to full screen & small

    I created a file of projection for a cd-rom. In the project file, we have added buttons to display full-screen or return to the screen 800 x 600. I imported our company logo which is only available as a bitmap. In the flash program, I put across the 1200 dpi at reduced size logo. However, I noticed that the logo is horrible when scaled to small. But you click on the button to enlarge to full screen, the logo looks great. Flash seems to understand that big logo real size will be read better in full screen, but cannot manage the bitmap well when you scale to a smaller size. So I did a test where I saved the logo in Photoshop at the small size. It looks very small, but when you expand to full screen, the logo appears blurry. In other words, I don't get the best of 2 worlds. Is it possible to have a bitmap image appear visually crisp at full screen or smallscreen? I tried to save at different resolutions such as 500 dpi, 400 dpi and 300 dpi. 300A almost what I want, but seem sweet when you cut them in full screen.

    Depends on a lot of things. Have you tried the 'use smoothing' option in the import of bitmap window? A logo is also still vector exactly due to similar reasons. If you can recreate it in a vector format you wouldn't have problems.

    Another way to take is to calculate for the highest resolution at which the flash runs (usually 1920 x 1200) (very few people have higher resolution screens, and even 1920 x 1200 is a rare case, 1680 x 900 - more likely) and adapted the logo in Photoshop to this resolution.

    This could also be a bug in the version of Flash you use. Another option is to have 2 images to 800 x 600 and full screen and change them accordingly with ACE (you can detect if the player goes to fullscreen or not with ACE)

    But the most likely reason is that you have a bug in your version of Flash... 1200 dpi also seems too gigantic to purposes not printing, maybe the reason why you encounter the bug.

  • How can I clean the Bitmap Images imported

    Hi, I am using Flash 5. I have imported a .png image sequence and they look pretty rough and bitmap so I wanted to clean them.

    1. what I have to select each frame after import and adjust the settings of the bitmap for each image or I can doo this somewhere so it affects al images?

    2. I can't find the settings to clean up the bitmaps. I thought they would be in the Panel "Properties"?

    3. is it possible to set the pixelation or clean a .swf imported or is it better to clean the sequence before you save it as a .swf?

    Ideally, you should have images cleaned / correctly size / optimised before import you them into Flash.  Once they are in Flash, one thing that you can do that can help how the image appears, especially if manipulate you its size in Flash, is to set the image to allow smoothing.  This can be set using code or can be applied manually to the image in the library do a right-click, selecting Properties and by checking the option to allow smoothing.

  • Can I cut around a path on a layer of the imported bitmap image?

    Hi all

    I work in Illustrator 9 on Windows 7.

    Can I cut around a path on a layer of the imported bitmap image?

    I have imported a Photoshop layer and I have a way of triangle on an Undercoat of the imported bitmap layer I want to select around outside of and then cut around the trail on the imported bitmap layer to make this bitmap layer the shape of my path of triangle.

    But when I select "Reverse" he tries to select other paths out of my way to triangle, it selects only the layer of the bitmap and leaves me to delete only this layer of the entire bitmap.

    I want to choose my path, then do it slightly cut the edge of the track on my imported bitmap layer.

    Thank you for any input,

    Digi

    You can use paths in an artistic form, no pixels, no clipping mask.

    If you need to recreate this in Illustrator. Should be simple enough to create these wavy lines. Their color, the pathfinder to create the triangle. You can then create the art brush.

    This here shows a slightly more complex procedure, because there is a gradient in there: http://www.vektorgarten.de/illustrator-flattening-transparency.html

    For wavy lines, you can use the effect zig - zag (or filter)

  • get the Bitmap Image of the web site or remote location

    Hi, yesterday I asked for some ease of image horizontal scorlling with blackberry. It's work very well. Thank you for all.

    But I could not do my job. What I need, that I have to get the Image from a web site (not in the project of ths) and display it in the BB device. I can do this and I get byte array and show the image using BitmapField. But this installation of scrolling does not work with the bitmap field.

    I suspect that my problem is due to the method of painting or the page layout, I don't know... I hope someone can help me, thank you very much in advance.

    Check if your getBitmapResource returns any non-null Bitmap image.  Specify the path correctly may take a few tries ("' / res/img/icon.png '," img/icon.png", etc.")

  • My Flash is some of my making it invisible bitmap images. Any ideas?

    I created a flash game. Some of my bitmap images that have been copied from images online in Flash are invisible when you test the Flash animation. However, they are normal in trying to edit them in Flash. They have worked before and I don't know what I did to prevent them from working. It is only the images created outside of Flash that do, apparently, although some images from other sources are working normally.

    A bitmap is also being turned into a black box the size of the bitmap image, I don't know why either.

    Any ideas, anyone?

    This happens a bit in several products.

    For example, to copy an image with transparency of Photoshop and paste it into Flash (not more transparency). Several programs have limited the Clipboard feature.

    Although Photoshop shouldn't really have this problem. GIMP can stick an image copied in transparency and stick it in perfectly good Flash.

    The difficulty for me has always been, never copy and paste image data directly. Save the image to your disk, then recorded the import file. This should work much better for you. This avoids the Clipboard entirely.

  • How load and access bitmap images?

    Hey there!

    After a few days of frustration and of searching the Web, I finally understand how to make a sheet of sprite and animate it.  I understand the classes and how to import external actionscript files that contain in my Flash project.  The problem is, I can't understand how to name and load a bitmap from the folder and pass on my functions as arguments.  > _ <

    How load and access an external bitmap in Actionscript 3.0?

    I use a class that I found online here: http://www.bensilvis.com/?p=229

    The problem comes when I try to access my bitmap parts, while he tries to do here: http://www.bensilvis.com/?p=317

    var currentSprite : SpriteSheet = new SpriteSheet (sheet, 20, 20) ;


    It is the only line that confuses me because it uses a variable "sheet", which is a bitmap, and I don't know how to set a name / my external bitmap image as such.

    SpriteSheet(tileSheetBitmap:Bitmap, width:Number = 16, height:Number = 16)
    • tileSheetBitmap: the bitmap of the sprite sheet that we will use
    • width: the width of the tiles in the map
    • height: the height of the tiles in the map

    Thank you!  < 3

    you use the loader class to load a bitmap.  When the loading is complete you can cast content loader as a bitmap for the help of the compiler with more coding.

  • Change the bitmap image, remove background in Flash CS4?

    HI people, I tried to slide in Photoshop, a layer with a transparent background, and image but it becomes white in Flash, so I imported the psd image. However, the black background interfere with the placement of the image. In OLD flash, there was formerly a magic wand and the ability to select areas of the bitmap and delete, but it seems that the feature is now missing or hidden in the new flash.  I transformed the image bitmap and I don't want to follow, because it's a picture. So, without tracking, how you change the image as I am doing?

    Thank you

    Jeff

    The magic wand is in the same place in CS4 (select Lasso, and then it is in the area of the toolbar options).

    Hi sonalnj,

    I understand that you cannot synchronize your iPhone as iTunes is requested it must be updated. I can help you with that.

    According to the technical specifications for a 6 s iPhone, you need a Mac running OS X v10.8.5 or later version with iTunes 12.3 or later. Because you are on OS X 10.6.8 your version of iTunes is up to date with this OS.

    iPhone 6 s Tech Specs
    http://www.Apple.com/iPhone-6s/specs/

    Now to fix that, you need to update your Mac OS X 10.8.5 Mountain Lion or OS X 10.11 El Capitan. If you want to go to the Mountain Lion, you can do it with the first link below. The cost will be $19.99 and a code will be delivered to you if you can download it via the Mac App Store. Once you have upgraded, be sure to make all software updates to go with him to get the latest version of iTunes.

    Now the other option is to move to OS X 10.11 El Capitan, and is a free update that you can do right in the Mac App Store, if you meet the system requirements. Take a look at the following article for more details on how to do it.

    iOS9 on a mobile device requires iTunes 12.3 or higher, which in turn requires a computer running OSX 10.8.5 or higher.  Update of the system only checks the updates for the current version of the system you run, but that itself can be updated.  It may or may not be possible to upgrade your computer to the system requirements. Find your computer on the web site of http://www.everymac.com model and near the bottom of the specification of the system section, he will tell what versions of the operating system, it is able to run. If you can not run a newer system, you will not be able to sync this phone to your current computer. If she can run 10.8.5 or higher, you can either buy a download for Apple OSX 10.8 Mountain Lion code online, or you can try to install the free El Capitan OSX 10.11.  El Capitan can run slower on older machines and require the additional purchase of RAM.  Making a big jump in versions of system is also more likely to affect the old software.
