Breaking apart bitmaps

Hi All,
Not sure if this is the right forum for this question, but I don't see anywhere else. I'm trying to break apart the items on my timeline using code, however some of them have already been broken apart. My question is, how do I test if an object has been broken apart already in JSFL?
Thanks in advance.
Tom

Not sure I totally understand - the point is so you can pick
this swatch "color" again in this
document. If you delete the bitmap from the document's
library it will go away. If you open a new
doc it won't be there because the new doc doesn't contaqin
any imported/broken apart/color-picked
bitmaps.
I have to ask, what were you expecting to happen with this
particular swatch? Or rather, is there a
better workflow solution for you perhaps? Just curious.

  • Breaking Apart Images and Bitmaps in Color Panel

    When I break apart a bitmap and use the eyedropper to sample
    it and then fill in a shape, I notice that the bitmap also stays in
    the color panel as a bitmap. Will this become a permanent part of
    my Flash installation or is it only accessible for this file? I
    opened a new file and it did not seem to appear for it. I just want
    to make sure I understand the purpose of it displaying in the color
    panel. What is the point of this?
    Thanks.

  • Air for ios optimization with bitmap break apart

    Hi,
    I'm developing an ios game with Flash CS5.5, and tries to optimize it as much as possible. I use bitmaps and GPU, but there is one thing I haven't found an answer to. I'd like to fill a background with bitmap tiles. An easy way (for me) to achieve this, is to just break apart the bitmap tile and use the eyedropper tool to fill out the desired background area, but I believe this turns the bitmap into a shape. Do you know if this would be bad when it comes to optimizing? Should I instead lay out the tiles side by side without breaking them apart?

    I did check for that, and rechecked just now, and they're all unscaled.  Plus, the code shows the correct dimensions and the issue doesn't exist on the computer - screenshots from the computer and the ipad don't match.  It's only the ipad that's showing the distortion.
    There must be something wrong with the fla or the ipa.  I created a new fla and tested the same code with just one image and there's no distortion.  I'll try creating a new fla.
    Thanks!

    convert each slice to symbol (graphic or movieclip)
    publish to swf.

    Flash has that sometimes when comes to bitmaps handling.
    Make sure the content is on even pixels X=10 and Y123 not
    123.2
    Also, you may want to rethink the approach. Perhaps import
    separate images to flash rather than one whole one and cut
    it.

  • Premier 3.02 crashes when breaking apart transferred slide show

    Following the instructions in a reply on the PS Elements forum, when I right click on the scene transferred from PSE to Premier Elements and right click in the menu to break apart the slide show for additional editing, after receiving a "low system memory" warning Premier eventually crashes. The error message is "Sorry, a serious error has occurred that requires Adobe PE to shut down. We will attempt to save your current project."
    I'm running PE 3.02
    Vista Business
    3.00GB RAM
    Video card AT1 Radeon HD 3450
    54.3 GB free disc space
    No browser or Outlook is open and have even closed PS Elements before trying to break apart the Premier scene slide.
    I have had no problems, warnings, or crashes constructing a 30 minute slide show in PS Elements.

    Gina,
    >Open Premiere then try to begin my project in from Photoshop and get the same issue. The message from Windows says shut down due to serious error.
    It is not clear to me WHEN the failure occurs in this scenario. Does Premiere Elements start up OK? Can you open a new project in Premiere Elements? And does it then fail when you have do the Send of the Slideshow from Premiere Elements?
    Or like the original poster on this thread, does it fail only when you attempt to Break Apart the slide show?
    And also - have you deleted or moved or renamed any of the photo files or video files included within that slide show?
    A more general question - have you previously done any projects successfully in Premiere Elements?

  • I Can No Longer Break Apart Clip Items??

    For some reason, I can no longer drag a clip from the browser to the main timeline, then lift and then proceed to break it apart into a video and seperate audio tracks. I was doing this all the time, but now this option seems to have disappeared. I tried repairing permissions... I can access the components of the clip with the "open in new timeline" option after dragging down the maintimeline and lifting, but that still doens't explain why I can't choose or shortcut to break it apart in the main timeline, when lifted, anymore??? Anyone else having this issue?
    Thanks,
    Dustin

    Dustin, let me know if I haven't understood your post correctly.
    You create a new project and set the frame rate to 23.98P
    The media in your Events is 30P
    From what I understand, your saying that if you drop a 30P clip in a 23.98P project, your unable to Break Apart Clip Items..?
    Works perfectly fine for me.

  • Why Will Synced clips not break apart on the timeline?

    I have created a number of synced clips in the evnt browser, and added them to my timeline. Now if i try to break aprt the synced clips on my timeline, it no longer allows me to in FCP X 10.0.9. What gives?

    I can't reproduce this. I tried a few synchronized clips, and Clip->Break Apart Clip Items worked as expected.
    Try deleting preferences.

  • Quality of Image after Break apart

    When breaking apart an image, there is sort of a 'residue'
    attached to some parts where the image has connected.
    Problem is explained with a picture below.
    Picture
    The image was imported from a Photoshop CS3 document which
    can be found here for you reference.

    As you can see in the PSD there is no 'residue'.

    Hi,
    How did you import your image into Flash. Some times this
    happened in the crossed sections of the PDS layers, try to expert
    your layers from photoshop as PNGs.

  • "Break Apart" in Premiere Pro CS6?

    I created a title and then duped it. Now I want these two titles to say different things, but position and style to say the same. That's not happening. When I change the wording, it changes automatically in both places.Is there a way to do something like "break apart" in Flash?
    Thank you.

    Jim,
    I agree completely.
    When discussing the Titler and Instances of Titles (as opposed to Title Based On... ), I cite an example using the old cinema Western Title, "Meanwhile back at the ranch," used many times in a Project. Imagine having typed "Meanwhile back at the raunch," and having dozens of Instances of that Title with the typo. One quick change to any would correct that in all Instances.
    Once a user gets their head around Title Instances vs discrete Titles (though Based On other Titles), it's easy to work with the Titles, at least for me.

  • Div layout breaks apart

    I have created a CSS div layout contained within an overall
    div so I can syle layout to a fixed width.
    I have styled container "overflow: hidden" but internal divs
    still break apart in IE.
    I have reduced px width of center content div but that makes
    no difference either.
    Site URL is:
    http://dstall.com/oft/
    Layout should look like this screenshot:
    http://dstall.com/oft/PIX/Screenshot.jpg
    but in IE it's breaking apart like in screenshot2:

  • Filters gone after using "breaking apart" command

    Hi there,
    I spent quite a bit of time enhancing my video with filters. Then I used the "Break apart" command (Cmd-Shift-G) on some clips in order to be able to work on the audio tracks separately on those clips. Strangely those clips seem to have lost their video filters! I think this is terrible. Any advice? TY.
    André Vanasse

    Permanetly gone I'm afraid.... I learned the hard way too. When you break apart a compound clip, you are basically destroying it, not just "opening" it up. you have to double click it to "dive in" to the clip. I realize theres times when this isn't a good enough solution, only work around I have is to copy the clip before you destroy it, make your changes, then remake a compound clip and then "Paste Effects" this kinda does what your looking for. good luck!

  • How can I break apart an iStockphoto PNG file? - Newbie Here

    I've purchased some icon sets from iStockphoto.
    Each set consists of an EPS file containing all 16 icons in a range of colours.
    There are also 7 files in PNG format which contain each icon in a specific colour.
    I have no problem accessing each individual icon in the EPS file but I can't work out how to 'break apart' any of the PNG files in Adobe Illustrator CS5.1 so that I can get to the individual icons.
    Can someone help me with this?
    Thank you.

    If you have the vector versions, you migt be just as quick re-coloring them yourself using the recolor artwork tool...

  • Break apart a small amount of text, or embed font?

    Hi
    I have a small amount of text (20 words) that use a hand written type font.
    This is for a mobile app, so should I embed the font, or break apart twice to convert it to shapes?
    Cheers

    If it is not dynamic text, use static textfields and you should not have to worry about embedding... "should" being a significant word.  If you find that it is not displaying properly as static text then I'd go with the conversion to shapes just to put it to bed.

  • Arabic Data is break Aparted and reverse in chart

    Dear All
    Please Help
    we are working on OBIEE ver. 10.1.3.4.0 but we have face this MAJOR ( Critical ) problem which is
    Arabic Data is break Aparted and reverse in chart
    so waiting your Answers
    Thanks

    Hy Alireza,
    Oracle Business Intelligence Enterprise Edition version 10.1.3.3.1 offers support for Arabic , Thai, and Hebrew. Due to a limitation in the charting engine that is used in Oracle BI EE, bidirectional and Thai language characters do not render properly in charts.
    To overcome this limitation and enable charting in Oracle BI EE for Arabic, Thai and Hebrew, you can use Oracle BI Publisher charting capabilities. BI Publisher charts are based on the Oracle BI Beans technology. A BI Publisher report containing a chart may be embedded in an Oracle BI Interactive Dashboard in order to meet charting requirements.
