Create an image with ActionScript

How do you create an image with ActionScript? The image is
located at an url that is not guaranteed to be on the same server.
I would prefer something that is compatible with previous
versions of the Flash player.
If you could point me to some tutorial or show me how it is
done.
Thanks

This is suuuuuuuuuuuuper basic, you just have a movieclip on
the stage and the URL of any image on the internet/local computer
function loadImage(imageUrl:String,
holder_mc:MovieClip):Void{
holder_mc.loadMovie(imageUrl);
Fill the two parameters with the 1. image url and 2.
movieclip that holds the image
It will load the image into it. Much more in depth tutorials
and stuff can be found all over the place, just google it.

Draw a cloud shape. Fill it with white and add a black inner
glow.
Position the cloud shape over the photo. Press Shift and
select both the
cloud shape and the image. Choose Modify > Mask > Group
as Mask.

Can't create disk image with Disk Utility

I just upgraded to OS X Mountain Lion and i can no longer create disk images with Disk Utility in order to store encrypted data.
The operation fails and ends with the post :
Failed to create disk image, error:
hdiutil: create failed - Resource busy
I use three Macs with Mountain Lion, and this problem occurs only on one of the three.
I check the disk, repair permissions and did a reset of the PRAM. I even did a reinstall of Mountain Lion, without success.
But curiously, using a new user account, I was able to create a first disk image. But no one after.

Launch the Console application in any of the following ways:
☞ Enter the first few letters of its name into a Spotlight search. Select it in the results (it should be at the top.)
☞ In the Finder, select Go ▹ Utilities from the menu bar, or press the key combination shift-command-U. The application is in the folder that opens.
☞ Open LaunchPad. Click Utilities, then Console in the page that opens.
Make sure the title of the Console window is All Messages. If it isn't, select All Messages from the SYSTEM LOG QUERIES menu on the left.
Click the Clear Display icon in the toolbar. Try the action that you're having trouble with again. Post any messages that appear in the Console window – the text, please, not a screenshot.
When posting a log extract, be selective. In most cases, a few dozen lines are more than enough.
DO NOT INDISCRIMINATELY DUMP THOUSANDS OF LINES FROM THE LOG INTO A MESSAGE. If you do that, I will not respond.
Important: Some private information, such as your name, may appear in the log. Edit it out by search-and-replace in a text editor before posting.

Moving an image with actionscript

I'm trying to move an image from position Y:0 to Y:-100 using
actionscript when the .swf file loads, as this is smoother than
conventional tweening??

Well Sim-Enzo is almost correct. You will have some problems
though because it is not really complete.
When you want to do things over time (move, fade, scale,
etc.) with actionscript you have two main choices –
onEnterFrame and setInterval. For the example given by Sim-Enzo I
would rewrite it like this:
myImageClip.onEnterFrlame=function(){
if(this._y>-100){
this._y-=10;
}else{
delete this.onEnterFrame;
this._y=-100
Here are why I would make these changes.
First the onEnterFrame is poorly named and confuses a lot of
folks. So remember onEnterFrame means "do this next bit of code at
the frame rate of the movie – even if the timeline is stopped
or there is only one frame."
Next. Each movie clip instance can only have one onEnterFrame
handler defined for it. So it is a good idea to assign each one to
an appropriate clip to avoid problems. By attaching this one to the
clip you want to move, myImageClip, you will also be able to assign
other ones to other clips and do whatever they need to do.
Then inside the event handler, notice how I refer to the clip
by "this" since the onEnterFrame is scoped to the myImageClip.
Finally, and this is probably most important, I have added an
else to the conditional. This makes sure that once your clip has
move to where it is supposed to go that the onEnterFrame is
stopped. Otherwise the onEnterFrame would just keep going –
it wouldn't move the clip anymore, but it would be using up
processor time. One errant onEnterFrame like this wouldn't probably
bring down your swf, but if you didn't do it with many different
ones you would notice.
I also added a little bit there which put the clip exactly at
the place I wanted. There are times in Flash where rounding errors
or other issues can make for surprises. I think it is good practice
to set the value to the exact required value.

Creating javaFX Image with InputStream

Hi,
I have dataset(Medical Image data), i want to build a javaFX Image,
Can some one help me how can i construct the image from this.
is there any way creating a image other than using url?
Thanks....

Try this:
var stream = A.class.getResourceAsStream( "lion1.png");
Stage {
    title: "Image from stream"
    width: 250

How do I create an image with a transparent shape?

Hi
This should be easy -
The end result I want is this:
a png which is mostly black (or any colour) but with a defined shape in it which is transparent.
I have the shape. I select it. I seem to be able to make a mask from this (a selection which I can copy and move about). But what I can't figure out how
is how to create a new image which is filled except for this masked area.
Any help gratefully received.
Thanks

Open a blank, new file with foreground color green
Type text
Open effects palette, and in the drop-down go to bevels, then select "Simple Emboss" - it is the second one in my program. Apply
Still in he effects palette, in the drop-down, go to visibility, select "Hide". Apply
Double click the f icon on the text layer in the layers palette to bring up the Style settings dialog, and add a small stroke to better define the letters.

What is the most efficient way to create an image with no background?

When I create, or use, a logo, or type, or any graphic image,in a design, I want to import it to InDesign with no background - "transparent", if you will.
The steps involving importing from PShop seem convoluted, at best, with bitmap, greyscale and eps files... I know I am on the wrong track with this process, since it never seems to work.
Also, wish to import from Illustrator and sometimes Painter12.
Is there a quick'n'dirty way, or a best way, to do this?
Thanks, forum people!

First, it's OK to combine responses into a single post. Everything goes to the forum, not the individual, so we all see it all,so to speak.
Double clicking the background or duplicating it are just different paths to the same end, and you pick one based on what you are doing, as much as anything. "Background" in Photoshop is locked for transparency, so if you need a tranparent background you MUST do something. If I know I'm not going to need to do other stuff, I probably would double-click and convert the layer just for convenience and to reduce the file size, but if it's a client file or I know I may need to add adjustments and so forth, I usually will duplicate the background (even if I don't need transparency) and turn off the original. This gives me an untouched backup position and a source for making more copies, if necessary. I don't like doing any sort of destructive edit without using a copy of the original data.

Can't create cd image with any CD

Hi,
I'm having trouble creating a CD Image in Disk Utility. I insert the CD and then open Disk Utility. I then highlight the CD drive and click on New in the menu. The problem is that the "Disc Image from Device" option is greyed out. Does someone know why this option can't be selected?
This happens with any cd
Thanks,
Roby

If you are going to burn copies of the CDs, use the "Importing" pane of iTunes' "Advanced" preference to import using AIFF or Apple Lossless Encoder, so you don't reduce the audio quality. Also check the box to use error correction.

Slice image with actionscript

Hi,
I want to create animation. I want to slice image into random number of rectangles (it can't be squares) and I want to animate all of this rectangles at once.
Any ideas?
Best whishes,
sledz

Use BitmapData class:
read original BitmapData --> read pixels that fit into rectangles (getPixels method) --> create Bitmaps out of individual rectangle's BitmapData --> animate Bitmaps.
Documentation:
http://www.adobe.com/livedocs/flash/9.0/ActionScriptLangRefV3/flash/display/BitmapData.htm l
http://www.adobe.com/livedocs/flash/9.0/ActionScriptLangRefV3/flash/display/Bitmap.html
Also search for BotmapData tutorials - there are a lot of them.

OSD - Creating 1 Image with choice of Software & Driver Packages

I am kindda new to SCCM 2012. I was wondering if it is possible to have like 1 Windows 8.1 Image and when it is being deployed we get a prompt for choice of Driver and Application Packages. The reason is that we have different kind of laptops and different
requirements for software. It would be good to have a prompt where you can choose which Driver Package to deploy based on the hardware and choice of software package that depends of the user's department.

Retrograde_PAK, a good majority of our software deployments occur based on our computer naming convention so having a decent naming convention would
be very helpful. I also create collections for all(most) of my software packages and am able to pull device records into their deployment collections based on membership queries again typically I leverage our naming convention but you could use any number
of things... AD location... Installed OS... basically anything that sccm has stored in its db for those records. then those collection are populated automatically based on those queries and the package is installed.

Create an image with 100% height?

Hi,
I am working on a project and require an image to stretch to
the full height of the table cell.
The width will be fixed at 40 pixels, but I require the
height to always be 100% of the cell.
I have tried simply adding the height tag as 100%, but this
proves inconsistent in various browsers.Is there a way in which I
can achieve this, so it will work consistently on all browsers and
platforms?
Many thanks

Make it a background image and let it tile to fill the space.
Or just use
an HTML color background.

HOWTO and script: create and burn an UDF image with 4+GB files

Most people think, creating UDF images with files bigger than 4GB or even 1GB is impossible, however it's not true! You just need udftools. Also you need to load loop and udf modules. There's a good howto by grigio, I also created an (admitably pretty poor) script to do it automatically, since grigio's howto doesn't include real dvd sizes:
UDFPATH=$HOME
echo -e "By default the udf image will be placed into your home directory. \n Do you want to enter an alternative one? (Enter y or n)"
read yesorno
if [ $yesorno == y ]; then
echo "Please enter the directory you want to use: "
read UDFPATH
if [ -d $UDFPATH ]; then
echo "Using $UDFPATH"
else
echo "Creating $UDFPATH" && mkdir -v $UDFPATH
fi
fi
if [ $yesorno == n ]; then
echo "Using default directory"
fi
if [ $yesorno != y -a $yesorno != n ]; then
echo "Incorrect entry, aborting..." && exit 0
fi
if [ -e $UDFPATH/udf.iso ]; then
mv $UDFPATH/udf.iso $UDFPATH/udf.iso.bak-`date +%y.%m.%d-%H.%M` && echo "udf.iso already exists! Backing up..."
fi
echo -e "Please enter your type of disk: dvd5p, dvd5m, dvd9p or dvd9m:\n(5/9 stand for normal/double layer disk and p/m for +/-)"
read type
if [ $type == dvd5p ]; then
echo "Creating a 4,7 GB DVD+R image..."
dd if=/dev/zero of=$UDFPATH/udf.iso bs=1024 count=4590208
fi
if [ $type == dvd5m ]; then
echo "Creating a 4,7 GB DVD-R image..."
dd if=/dev/zero of=$UDFPATH/udf.iso bs=1024 count=4596992

if [ $type == dvd9p ]; then
echo "Creating a 8,5 GB DVD+R image..."

if [ $type == dvd9m ]; then
echo "Creating a 8,5 GB DVD-R image..."

if [ $type != dvd5p -a $type != dvd5m -a $type != dvd9p -a $type != dvd9m -a $type != cheat ]; then
echo "Wrong type entered, aborting..." && exit 0

echo -e "For burning you may just use 'cdrecord -eject -dao -dev=/dev/sr0 $UDFPATH/udf.iso'\n(the path to your DVD burner may also vary)"

exit 0
fi
EDIT: Some major mistakes solved.

Image with text

I have created an image with text (map with town names). The
text is 12px Verdana bold. When I export to a gif (only a few
colors) and show on a page I want to get the text to show clear
when the page is resized. But it does not it becomes more obscure
as it gets smaller. I have the image which I have styled
{width:100%;height:100%;} to stop the image expanding the td it's
in.
Can anyone advise how best to achieve good font clarity in
images that may be resized?
thanks.

Use Flash format, which is scalable. GIF's are not scalable.
