Language Version: | ActionScript 3.0 |
Runtime Versions: | Flash Player 9, AIR 1.1 |
A helper class used to capture a snapshot of any Flash component
that implements
flash.display.IBitmapDrawable
,
including Flex UIComponents.
An instance of this class can be sent as a RemoteObject
to Adobe's LiveCycle Data Services to generate
a PDF file of a client-side image.
If you need to specify additional properties of the image
beyond its contentType
, width
,
and height
properties, you should set name/value pairs
on the properties
object.
In earlier versions of Flex, you set these additional
properties on the ImageSnapshot instance itself.
This class is still dynamic in order to allow that,
but in a future version of Flex it might no longer be dynamic.
contentType:String
Language Version: | ActionScript 3.0 |
Runtime Versions: | Flash Player 9, AIR 1.1 |
The MIME content type for the image encoding format
that was used to capture this snapshot. For PNG format
images, the MIME type is "image/png". For JPG or JPEG
images, the MIME type is "image/jpeg"
Implementation public function get contentType():String
public function set contentType(value:String):void
data:ByteArray
Language Version: | ActionScript 3.0 |
Runtime Versions: | Flash Player 9, AIR 1.1 |
The encoded data representing the image snapshot.
Implementation public function get data():ByteArray
public function set data(value:ByteArray):void
public static var defaultEncoder:Class
Language Version: | ActionScript 3.0 |
Runtime Versions: | Flash Player 9, AIR 1.1 |
The default mx.graphics.codec.IImageEncoder
implementation
used to capture images. The two implementations are PNGEncoder and
JPEGEncoder. The default encoder uses the PNG format.
height:int
Language Version: | ActionScript 3.0 |
Runtime Versions: | Flash Player 9, AIR 1.1 |
The image height in pixels.
Implementation public function get height():int
public function set height(value:int):void
properties:Object
Language Version: | ActionScript 3.0 |
Runtime Versions: | Flash Player 9, AIR 1.1 |
An Object containing name/value pairs
specifying additional properties of the image.
You generally supply such information
only when sending an ImageSnapshot instance
to Adobe's LiveCycle Data Services
in order to generate a PDF file.
You can either set the entire object
or set individual name/value pairs
on the pre-existing empty Object.
The default value is {}.
Implementation public function get properties():Object
public function set properties(value:Object):void
width:int
Language Version: | ActionScript 3.0 |
Runtime Versions: | Flash Player 9, AIR 1.1 |
The image width in pixels.
Implementation public function get width():int
public function set width(value:int):void
public function ImageSnapshot(width:int = 0, height:int = 0, data:ByteArray = null, contentType:String = null)
Language Version: | ActionScript 3.0 |
Runtime Versions: | Flash Player 9, AIR 1.1 |
Constructor.
Parameters | width:int (default = 0 ) — Width of the image.
|
|
| height:int (default = 0 ) — Height of the image.
|
|
| data:ByteArray (default = null ) — A byte array to contain the image.
|
|
| contentType:String (default = null ) — The encoder format type for the image,
either PNGEncoder or JPEGEncoder.
|
public static function captureBitmapData(source:IBitmapDrawable, matrix:Matrix = null, colorTransform:flash.geom:ColorTransform = null, blendMode:String = null, clipRect:Rectangle = null, smoothing:Boolean = false):BitmapData
Language Version: | ActionScript 3.0 |
Runtime Versions: | Flash Player 9, AIR 1.1 |
A utility method to grab a raw snapshot of a UI component as BitmapData.
Parameters
| source:IBitmapDrawable — An object that implements the
flash.display.IBitmapDrawable interface.
|
|
| matrix:Matrix (default = null ) — A Matrix object used to scale, rotate, or translate
the coordinates of the captured bitmap.
If you do not want to apply a matrix transformation to the image,
set this parameter to an identity matrix,
created with the default new Matrix() constructor, or pass a null value.
|
|
| colorTransform:flash.geom:ColorTransform (default = null ) — A ColorTransform
object that you use to adjust the color values of the bitmap. If no object
is supplied, the bitmap image's colors are not transformed. If you must pass
this parameter but you do not want to transform the image, set this parameter
to a ColorTransform object created with the default new ColorTransform() constructor.
|
|
| blendMode:String (default = null ) — A string value, from the flash.display.BlendMode
class, specifying the blend mode to be applied to the resulting bitmap.
|
|
| clipRect:Rectangle (default = null ) — A Rectangle object that defines the
area of the source object to draw. If you do not supply this value, no clipping
occurs and the entire source object is drawn.
|
|
| smoothing:Boolean (default = false ) — A Boolean value that determines whether a
BitmapData object is smoothed when scaled.
|
Returns | BitmapData — A BitmapData object representing the captured snapshot.
|
public static function captureImage(source:IBitmapDrawable, dpi:Number = 0, encoder:IImageEncoder = null, scaleLimited:Boolean = true):ImageSnapshot
Language Version: | ActionScript 3.0 |
Runtime Versions: | Flash Player 9, AIR 1.1 |
A utility method to grab a snapshot of a component, scaled to a specific
resolution (in dpi) and encoded into a specific image format.
Parameters
| source:IBitmapDrawable — An object that implements the
flash.display.IBitmapDrawable interface.
|
|
| dpi:Number (default = 0 ) — The resolution in dots per inch.
If a resolution is not provided,
the current on-screen resolution is used by default.
|
|
| encoder:IImageEncoder (default = null ) — The image format used to encode the raw bitmap. The two
encoders are PNGEncoder and JPEGEncoder. If an encoder is not provided,
the default is PNGEncoder.
|
|
| scaleLimited:Boolean (default = true ) — The maximum width or height of a bitmap in Flash
is 2880 pixels - if scaleLimited is set to true the resolution will be
reduced proportionately to fit within 2880 pixels, otherwise, if
scaleLimited is false, smaller snapshot windows will be taken and
stitched together to capture a larger image.
The default is true.
|
Returns | ImageSnapshot — An ImageSnapshot holding an encoded captured snapshot
and associated image metadata.
|
public static function encodeImageAsBase64(snapshot:ImageSnapshot):String
Language Version: | ActionScript 3.0 |
Runtime Versions: | Flash Player 9, AIR 1.1 |
A utility method to convert an ImageSnapshot into a Base-64 encoded
String for transmission in text based serialization formats such as XML.
Parameters
| snapshot:ImageSnapshot — An image captured as an
mx.graphics.ImageSnapshot .
|
Returns | String — A string representing the base64 encoded snapshot.
|
