Android bitmaps have slightly transparent bounding box?

Hi all,
We have just released a game to iOS and Android markets today, compiled with AIR3.2.
On the Android version, on all devices, we notice that all bitmaps (with transparency) have a slight alpha (estimate maybe 5%) white bounding box - this does not happen on iOS.
Every bitmap that is not a solid colour - so that means ALL sprites, background tiles, buttons etc - look like they are sitting on top of a 5% white box.
We use bitmap.draw to draw a MovieClip to a bitmap for all the sprites.
Has anybody come across this before and know why this is happening?
Cheers,
Peter

use inline styling in an html snippet:
<img style=="border:0" src="/image/location/pic.ext" alt="borderless image" />
Remove one of the equal signs '=' from the style so that it looks like style="border:0"
I added two equal signs because when properly written the forum script rewrites the code to look like style="#"

"transparent" bounding boxes appear when printing from InDesign and Acrobat

Hi. I have encountered a problem with both CS4 and CS5 InDesign and Acrobat 9.0. Mac OS 10.5.8. When I print (artwork flattened before I create PDF with standard "Press Quality" from InDesign or Adobe Illustrator default from Illustrator) lighter areas that are rectangular shaped will appear on the color print. We use a rip and this appears to happen randomly. I have spent considerable time troubleshooting this...I have used every work around I can think of—to no avail.
1. What is this?
2. Why is this happening?
3. Is there technical information out there to help me get rid of it?
Thanks so much!

Solid areas of lighter color. I am not sure if our rip can handle live transparency. It is a Fiery 8e Release 2. I tried a solution from a previous post that suggested de-selecting the Pantone match option when I print and that did work.
The PDF's are high res. It has even happened on some PDF's that were created through Distiller as high res. I have seen this at the print shop I work at and also at the college where I teach design.
Thanks so much for your quick response.

Text put into a canvas element with context.fillText() always has a black box where each letter goes. If the text is black you just see the black rectangle. If the text is not black you see it on the black bounding box. Surely this is not right.

This has happened on the last few versions of firefox, as long as canvas has been supported. I see other people's screen shots from canvas tutorials, and the text always looks normal. On my system, any text put into a canvas element via context.fillText() will have a black bounding box for each letter, sized appropriately for the letter. If the text is black, of course you only see rectangles. If the text is a contrasting color, then you can read it, but it looks bizarre.

Thomas...same kind of crap here.
I used Custom Text - entered a sentence, hit return, entered another.
Set to 72 pt.
The default alignment is centred - I want left aligned text...the text start point stays at the centre of frame and the sentence runs off the edge of the bounding box.
There is no settings in the Text or Title inspector dialog to correct that!
Using Transform will not sort it!

Unwanted bounding box resets

I'm having a rather infuriating issue with Bounding Box resets.
Image here:
http://img848.imageshack.us/i/unled3j.jpg/
Sorry—I can’t get it to show up in this message.
The first row of the linked image shows a roughly isometric view of a machine decal, followed by straight on views of a red box and a newer version of the decal.
To turn this new decal into a similar perspective, I normally:
1-rotate the decal using the black/closed arrow hovering over a corner handle
2-use the Free Transform tool on the rotated side handle of the bounding box to skew the rotated image
The second row shows what happens to the red box and its Bounding Box after rotation.I would normally use the handle that had been the middle right to Free Transform this object
The third row shows the new decal rotated. It's bounding box has reset itself automatically and is no longer useful with the Free Transform tool.
These two objects are on the same document, so I'm guessing the Bounding Box reset has something to do with some attribute of the new decal. Whatever it is, an operation that normally take 10 seconds has become suddenly impossible. Anybody know what to do to fix this?
Thanks.
Matt

I had this problem as well, and it was driving me crazy. This happens when you have multiple objects sellected that have bounding boxes set at different rotations. They can be grouped or ungrouped, it makes no difference, and the bounding box will automatically reset. I found that resetting the bounding box (before applying the transform) fixes the problem. This seems counter intuitive, because the bounding box doesn't look like it needs to be reset. It already appears straight, so there is no noticable change after applying the reset bounding box command. However, afterwards the bounding box will stay in the correctly rotated position because all objects have the same bounding box rotation.

My selection tool stopped working, it won't let me resize objects. Yes, show bounding box is on. Please help

The selection tool won't let me resize objects. I have read different forums where they all say I just have to show bounding box, but not even this works. I have been using Illustrator for a long time and never had this problem before. Please help me fix this

kimoen,
In addition to what Larry said, the Adobe team are working on the Live Rectangle bug which is limited to the MAC versions starting with 10.7 and 10.8, but not 10.9 (Mavericks).
So a switch to Mavericks with a reinstallation might be the way to solve it here and now, if that is an option, in which case you should reinstall after upgrading the OS.
But you may get round it in a couple of ways while using your present OS.
In each case, it is possible to Expand the Live Rectangles to get normal old fashioned rectangles, or to Pathfinder>Unite, or to use the Scale Tool.
A more permanent way round that is to create normal old fashioned rectangles, after running the free script created by Pawel, see this thread with download link:

Bounding box around Text Illustrator CS2 12 Windows XP

My computer crashed while using Adobe Illustrator and when rebooting I have lost the bounding box when typing text. Now I am unable to resize my text. Any suggestions on how to get the bounding box back? Clicking the direct selection tool does nothing. I can outline the text but still no bounding box to grab and resize.
Should I reinstall Illustrator? Is there a default setting to go back to? If I shut down and reboot the same problem happens.

Is it just text objects or others, as well?

Lost the bounding box (scale handles)

HELP. I have lost the bounding box (scale handles) for only the Rectangle and Rounded Rectangle Tools. I have tried switching the view options on and off with no changes or improvements. How do I reset the presets or preferences. Will this help? Thanks

Robert,
There are a few more options.
As Larry said, the Live Rectangle bug is limited to the MAC versions starting with 10.7 and 10.8, but not 10.9 (Mavericks) or 10.10 (Yosemite). Hopefully, the bug will be fixed soon.

Illustrator not recognizing my pattern bounding box

I'm trying to create a repeating pattern. I have a pattern bounding box at the bottom of the stack which has no fill and no stroke. However, when I try to define the pattern, Illustrator doesn't seem to see the bounding box, and instead creates a tile which is larger than I intended. I've tried ungrouping everything, putting it all onto the same layer and everything else I can think of, but nothing so far has worked. Any suggestions? Thanks.

I finally solved this - I had to redraw the bounding box. Copying and pasting the original one didn't work, but when I used it as a guide and drew a new one over it, Illustrator finally recognized it. Bizarre.

I have a png that I've placed on a solid color background and it looks fine on the screen. When I print it, I see the faded ghost of it's bounding box.

I have a png that I've placed on a solid color background and it looks fine on the screen. When I print it, I see the faded ghost of it's bounding box. Basically, it losing at least part of the transparency in the file, but only when it goes to print. This happens whether I print it from illustrator, Indesign, or a pdf. If I open and print it from Photoshop it's fine. Is there some sort of setting that needs to be changed?
I'm posting a photo of the result.

Can you post the png so we can take a look at it?

Bounding box prints with a slight shade... Not good!

I hope I can explain this correctly... When I add an effect to text like a drop shadow, when I go to print it out, the bounding box the text it's in prints with a slight shade. This happens with objects also. Is there something that need to be clicked on or off?
InDesign CS5, Mac.

Have a look at this post here and report back here if you have any problems putting it into practise. I'm not sure if that post mentions it but another way that can sometimes work is to make sure you are using process colours instead spots like Pantone, I've found it stops it happening on our Fuji Xerox.

What do you mean a moderator

I should not have to "expand" a rectangle before resetting its bounding box

When you create a rectangle and rotate it, the Reset Bounding Box command is available to you, but selecting it does nothing. To get it to work, you have to "expand" the rectangle first, and then select Reset Bounding Box. This is idiotic. If I've explicitly told the program I want to reset the bounding box of said rectangle, and for whatever arcane reason it can only reset the bounding box of "expanded" rectangles, then it should "expand" the dang rectangle for me and reset the bounding box like I asked.

As it is a Live rectangle and not a Real rectangle it has not been 'really' rotated.
In the same way when you round its corners they are not 'really' rounded until the thing has been expanded.
I am still in the same mindset for this.
Rounded Rectangles should have been changed to live rectangles.
And the Real Rectangle tool should have left alone.
We now have a High End Vector Drawing Program without a simple rectangle tool
I can't work out what the hell they were thinking.
I'm worried about what the next tool to be broken will be.

Forcing onPress to react on the exact shape, rather then on the bounding box

If I have a clip with an imported image then clip.onPress
reacts on the
bounding box of the clip rather then on the exact shape of
the imported
image even if the imported image has a transparent
background.
To make it to react to in image shape only I have to use
Trace BitMap which
results in deterioration of the image quality and if the clip
is moving,
Trace BitMap also slows down computer perfprmance.
Is there other technique to make onPress to react on the
exact shape, rather
then on the bounding box?

An image is always rectangular, it just may have transparent
parts. So an MC containing an image is always as big as the whole
image (at least).
You could use the MovieClip.hitArea property, and create
another MC inside your clip that specifies the active area for
mouse clicks. This is easy if you have the image loaded into the
clip inside the Flash IDE.
If it's loaded on runtime, you might use the BitmapData class
(if you use Flash 8) to get the pixel value of the image at the
position where the image was clicked, check if it's transparent or
opaque, and decide whether to call the onPress action or not.

Bounding box and pdf export

Hi all,
I'm using Illustrator CS4 and I have interest in the bounding box of a figure when I export it as a pdf. I'm using the crop area tool (also called ArtBoard, ToolShift+O) to set-up by hand the bounding box and then export the figure as a pdf. The problem is that I can observe spurious small white margins in the exported pdf. It seems that the bounding box is not perfectly set-up. Are you aware of this problem? Is there a work-around?
Thank you

I don't think there is per se any problem nor is AI doing anything wrong. Sounds like your bog standard antialiasing/ transparency blending, if elements are not placed and shaped in such a way that their rasterized output perfectly coincides with whole pixels plus the usual issues with trapping, overprint etc., which Acrobat will obey based on its own settings and the properties defined in your AI document and which particularly become relevant if blending modes, partial opacity and raster effects are involved. You need to look into those things more than anything else and find the right combination of settings...

Effects change bounding box background color

This is a technical continuation of my earlier inquiry - to which I found a workaround but not the solution.
Create a document with a black background.
Drop a graphic with a transparent background, or a block of white text, on that background.
Print. You have stuff on a black background.
Now apply an effect to that graphic or text - emboss, glow, whatever.
Print. If you're like me, you have stuff in a noticeable dark-black bounding box on a less-black background.
Why?
Despite much discussion and suggestions of the obvious (match color spaces, use CMYK graphic, remove underlying black background, etc.) not one thing I ever tried eliminated this bounding-box shadow, which, oddly, does not seem to appear on other colored background, even dark ones. ID is doing something with the black background... but what?
This also happens when (as in my specific case) a photo with a rich-black background refuses to match with a black background of the same color build. The photo is a deeper, shinier, rich black while the graphic black is colder and grayer.
The only thing I can think of is that it's an artifact of my HP print drivers, so I'd be interested in seeing who can replicate this fault and who can't. ...thanks!

The full-rasterization technique in the original post fixes the problem, yes. I experimented with quite a few other settings along this line including letting the printer handle color and setting the mode to PS2. Nothing - as before - corrected the issue.
So what exactly is the problem here? Is ID sending badly formed PS code? Is there a bug in the PS3 interpreter? Or what? And is there any way to actually fix this, or is the ID-rastering setting the only way?
And, finally, is this only an issue on my printer, or will the magazine's page imager render the same fault? These are pretty expensive ads for the client and I don't want to see these lovely bands when the magazine hits my desk. If it's just my printer, I can live with the workaround. But as this is a high-end HP with genuine PS3, how can a RIP with PS3 handle it any differently?
Thanks for the workaround, in any case. I'd still like to fix the PROBLEM, if I can.
