This is a pretty weird problem that I’ve been having with a Flash game I’m making.
For some of the menus and stuff, I have it grayscale the screen with BitmapData.draw and ColorTransform. It works perfectly when played through Flash and Flash Player, and even when played locally through a browser.
However when I upload it to a server and try and play it online, the BitmapData stuff apparently clunks out. It displays a white screen, suggesting that BitmapData.draw isn’t working for some reason.
As it only doesn’t work when on a server, you’d think it was some form of security violation. But I cannot think of anything that would cause this to breach Flash’s security. I’m only drawing the _root of the movie clip, nothing located on another domain.
Even weirder, the exact same code worked a while ago when uploaded. It only stopped working a short time ago after I was adding some menus and such - and as much as I’ve been trying to pinpoint it to an exact moment in time when it stopped working, I can’t.
It’s really starting to get to me. Has anyone ever experienced a similar problem? Or more importantly, does anyone know how to fix such a problem?
