Hi, this version doesn't work with flash 9 alpha, mind to get it working? it looks so nice. Thanks, Jadd.

Hi this is a great package. But where can I get the AS2 class? Is it still available. Best

http://pixelfumes.blogspot.com/2005/10/reflection-class-20-now-for-download.html

i tried your class but i always seems to get the following error. when i run my as3.fla file. when i run check syntax no error occures.

1119: Access of possibly undefined property graphics through a reference with static type flash.display:DisplayObject.

i already imported grahpics a second time:

import flash.display.*
import flash.display.Graphics;

what could be the problem in this? and how come flash has problems with finding it's own classes?

Kris, This article and code are a bit old school now - please try the newest version of this class on the Adobe website here: http://www.adobe.com/devnet/flash/articles/reflect_class_as3.html

If that doesn't work for you let me know!

hi sarge,
i been working with papervision3d classes in AS3..i want to reflect planes in papervision...but it shows no reflection...

//code...................
import com.pixelfumes.reflect.*;
import org.papervision3d.scenes.*;
import org.papervision3d.cameras.*;
import org.papervision3d.objects.*;
import org.papervision3d.materials.*;
var container:MovieClip=new MovieClip();
container.x=stage.stageWidth*0.5;
container.y=stage.stageHeight*0.5;
container.name="mc1";
addChild(container);
this.frameRate=40;

var scene:Scene3D=new MovieScene3D(container);

var camera:Camera3D=new Camera3D();

camera.zoom=10;
//star making planes...
//create material-by attaching bitmap using BitmapAssetMaterial
var bam:BitmapAssetMaterial=new BitmapAssetMaterial("FlashIcon");
//by default material applied to one side of object(here plane);
bam.oneSide=false;
bam.smooth=true;
for (var i:int=0; i<1; i++) {
//new Plane(material,height, width,triangle num,triangle num)---triangle num to control quality
var p:Plane=new Plane(bam,150,75,2,2);

p.x=50*i;
p.y=40;
p.z=40*i;

p.rotationY=45;

scene.addChild(p);
var container2:Sprite = p.container;

}
scene.renderCamera(camera);
var mc1:Sprite = getChildByName("mc1") as Sprite;
var r1:Reflect = new Reflect({mc:mc1 , alpha:50, ratio:100,distance:0, updateTime:0, reflectionDropoff:1});
this.addEventListener(Event.ENTER_FRAME,render);
function render(e:Event) {

scene.renderCamera(camera);
}
//code ends here...............

Hey,
Great Class! - thanks

It works great locally on my machine..however, when I put it online I get a security sandbox error that looks like this:

SecurityError: Error #2122: Security sandbox violation: BitmapData.draw: http://aftertheanthems.com/mainVideo.swf cannot access http://static.blip.tv/Aftertheanthems-AfterTheAnthemsAlbumTrailer959-16.jpg. A policy file is required, but the checkPolicyFile flag was not set when this media was loaded.

at flash.utils::SetIntervalTimer/flash.utils:SetIntervalTimer::onTimer()
at flash.utils::Timer/flash.utils:Timer::_timerDispatch()

Does anyone know why this is?
Thanks
Phil

Phil, that is because you cannot, without a cross-domain policy file, reflect (use the bitmapData.draw() method) on a video that is live or hosted on a different domain.

HI sarge,

is it possible to give reflection for masked area only..

import flash.display.MovieClip;
var A_mc:MovieClip=new MovieClip();
with (A_mc) {
graphics.beginFill(0xFF0000);
graphics.drawRect(0,0,300,100);
graphics.endFill();
x=100
y=100
}
addChild(A_mc);
var B_mc:MovieClip=new MovieClip();
with (B_mc) {
graphics.beginFill(0xFFFF00);
graphics.drawRect(0,0,300,100);
graphics.endFill();
x=120
y=120
}
addChild(B_mc);

Saravanan,
Sometimes the reflect has problems with masks. I haven't had the time to work on masked clips - occasionally it is because the clip height is higher than you think because the masked item actually returns the height of itself vs the height of the mask - that pushes the reflection -does that make sense?

Phil I have make some solution for SecurityError: Error #2122: Security sandbox violation, visit my blog at http://theflashblog-bg.com/index.php?p=40 for more information.

This works great in flash but when I embed the swf in html using the swfObject the reflection does not show up???

Impressive this IT world!! Really cool!!

Hi -

As everybody, I would like to thank you about this "class".
Now, ahemmmm…
When I call it into my own .FLA, I got this error:

ReferenceError: Error #1065: Variable Reflect is not defined.
at untitled_fla::MainTimeline/frame1()

Do you know why?
Thank you, have a nice day…

Nice class man.

One question, I have an array of images(movieclips) which all have instances of the reflect class.

How do I remove all of the reflections in the array properly. I am using imgArray[i].removeChildAt(1); at the moment but it seems to make everything run slow because I have called the destroy() method.

How do I call that method for every movieclip in the array?

Thanks

Nick, sounds like you are going about it the right way. Loop through the items in the array and call the destroy method on each. Also, are you using the latest version of the class from http://www.adobe.com/devnet/flash/articles/reflect_class_as3.html?

Hi,

I am using your reflection class in one of my projects.
When i apply reflection on a movie clip, the reflection is overlapping a button below it in the same flash movie. The overlapping part is fully transparent but it s there, as I am not able to click on the button. I can only click on lower part of the button. I tried using the setBounds() method but then reflection is gone. Can you please let me know what might be ausing this problem?

Set the clip being reflected to mouseChildren = false and mouseEnabled = false. If this isn't viable for you, you can mod the class to apply those properties to the Reflection. Also, make sure you are using the newest version of this class here: http://www.adobe.com/devnet/flash/articles/reflect_class_as3.html
