im working on converting the liquify image tutorial on kirupa, found here, over to AS3. its pretty painless but im having some trouble with converting functions that are in as2 and not in as3. heres what ive got so far…
public class Ripple extends MovieClip{
private var maxImages:Number = 20;
public var game:As3Game;
public var mask_mc:MovieClip;
public var arrHolder:Object;
public function Ripple(g:As3Game){
game=g;
arrHolder = new Object();
arrHolder = dupeAndPlace(game.myBack.gameBg);
}
public function updateMe():void{
makeWaves(arrHolder.masks_arr);
}
public function dupeAndPlace(image:MovieClip):void{
var arrHolder:Object = new Object();
arrHolder.pics_arr = new Array(0);
arrHolder.masks_arr = new Array(0);
for(var i=1; i< maxImages; i++){
var dnm = "image" + i;
var mnm = "mask" + i;
var imgObj:Object = {x:image.x, y:image.y, xscale:100+(i*1.5), yscale:100+(i*1.5)};
var maskObj:Object = {xscale:Math.floor(100/i+3), yscale:Math.floor(100/i+3)};
/*
var theDupedImage = image.duplicateMovieClip(dnm, this.getgetDepth()+i, imgObj);
var theDupedMask = mask_mc.duplicateMovieClip(mnm, theRubberizer.getDepth()+ (i*50), maskObj);
*/
imgObj = game.duplicateMc(image,true);
maskObj = game.duplicateMc(mask_mc,true);
imgObj.setMask(maskObj);
arrHolder.masks_arr.push(maskObj);
}
}
public function makeWaves(masks_arr:Array):void{
for (var i = masks_arr.length; i>0; i--) {
masks_arr*.x += (game.myBack.mouseX-masks_arr*.x)/maxImages*i;
masks_arr*.y += (game.myBack.mouseY-masks_arr*.y)/maxImages*i;
}
}
}
the error i get is telling me
TypeError: Error #1006: setMask is not a function.
at Ripple/dupeAndPlace()
at Ripple$iinit()
whats the best way to accomplish this effect in AS3?
