Surface Object

Also, if you specifically look for the Surface documentation within the Help subdirectory of MMFusion, the documentation should be there. Back in the day, I thought the object had no documentation as well, but the "Help" button within the extension just does not properly link to its documentation. The documentation looks something like "MyMMFusionPath\Help\Surface.chm"

Can you please reupload the surface object's examples zip? The links in this thread are dead!

For all who looking for the example files now, you can find them on Please login to see this link..

how do you blit from active object> active picture? Its not working for me

I've encountered a weird issue with the display of the Surface object.

Here ist an example file: Please login to see this attachment.

The Active is on a layer above the Surface but shown below.
If you click the crop button a callback looks for the outer boundaries. Now the Active comes to the front. If you now move the mouse pointer off the button the Active will be in the back again.
If you delete event line 2 the Active will stay in the front after you clicked the button once.
If you delete the callback the Surface gets invisible.
The behavior changes too if you delete (all) system boxes.

It would be great if you could have a look into this, Looki.

Thanks!

Hi, just wondering if someone could help. Im trying to create an alpha for an image based on colors.

So callbacks seems perfect for this only i cant get the callback alpha working. I can get the callback for colors working, and i can do a callback and base don color set pixels to a certain color. That works. howevr when i try to do the same (set the pixel to alpha) it does nothing. I am doing the callback loop with 16 (set alpha), and i have created an alpha on the image with "keep transparency?" set to 1 (yes)?

What am i doing wrong?

1 other thing i would like is, with the active picture object. If you load an image which is 200px,200px for example, then set an action to resize it to 0,0 then back to 200,200 it keeps it all "intact, where as the surfacedoesnt, its just becomes a big blurry mess when it comes back to 200,200?

and lastly, is there a way to set the hotspot of the surface, for such things like rotating etc?

Thanks
Andy

Looki,

Are there plans to port this object to Android?
I took a look in the pages of this topic, but I just found an old Stephen's reply saying "no".

I've been trying for a while to get the surface object to draw some lines for my vector demo for flash. It works fine when I run it in MMF2.5, but after the build to the swf file it is nothing but a grey screen. For some reason one piece of text shows through. I've tried layers, not displayed on background, bringing the surface object to the back, etc. I've tried various methods of clearing the surface. Nothing has worked.

So, any suggestions would be most appreciated.

Steve

ps: I've attached the mfa file for you to look at.

Hi, Looki!
I'm testing capture to the desktop image by the surface object. It was worked fine in the Windows EXE runtime. But, the image was pressed when it run on the Windows Screensaver runtime.
Could you test my attached file?
Thanks.

Sorry. I think it is due to the Windows Screensaver runtime.
I've reported in the bugbox.
