I am trying to produce some effect by stretching horizontally a bitmap.
Well things really get ugly.
Basically I stretch (multiply the _xscale by 15) once my movie which contains a bitmap. Then i just scroll it horizontally and observe (try it!) …
I notice that there are some discontinuities in the image… it is nice and smooth and stretched for a while but all of a sudden the flow gets interrupted. it is as if another part of the bitmap is showing … something gets clipped off…
My publish settigns are for flash 7.
Here is my code … my movie instance is called “s” and it contains a bitmap … that is all
Ok here are 2 movies,
stretch.swf is the problem … it is flash7
stretch8 is in flash 8, but that does not really solve the issue because:
It is true that the clipping is gone, but flash 8 removes the bitmap smoothing … and i want that smoothing… if i turn on smoothing in flash 8 i get the exact same behaviour as in flash 7 … the clipping is back.
I start to think that it is the smoothing that causes this artifact … but the real question is how do we get rid of the clipping and keep everything smooth ???
