InheritanceRectangleTexture Inheritance TextureBase Inheritance EventDispatcher Inheritance Object

The Rectangle Texture class represents a 2-dimensional texture uploaded to a rendering context.

Defines a 2D texture for use during rendering.

Texture cannot be instantiated directly. Create instances by using Context3D createRectangleTexture() method.

Method detail
uploadFromBitmapData()method
public function uploadFromBitmapData(source:BitmapData):void

Language version: ActionScript 3.0
Runtime version: AIR 3.8

Uploads a texture from a BitmapData object.

Parameters
source:BitmapData — a bitmap.

Throws
TypeError — Null Pointer Error: when source is null.
 
ArgumentError — Invalid BitmapData Error: when source does not contain a valid texture. The maximum allowed size in any dimension is 4096 or the size of the backbuffer, whichever is greater.
 
Error — 3768: The Stage3D API may not be used during background execution.
uploadFromBitmapDataAsync()method 
public function uploadFromBitmapDataAsync(source:BitmapData):void

Language version: ActionScript 3.0
Runtime version: AIR 24

Uploads a texture from a BitmapData object.

Parameters
source:BitmapData — a bitmap. This function asynchronously uploads texture data. Any draw method which attempts to use the texture will fail until the upload completes successfully. Upon successful upload, this RectangleTexture object dispatches Event.TEXTURE_READY. Event.TEXTURE_READY is a callback to indicate that the asynchronous call received for the texture object have been executed successfully. Upon any error during the background upload , this RectangleTexture object dispatches ErrorEvent.ERROR.

Throws
TypeError — Null Pointer Error: when source is null.
 
ArgumentError — Invalid BitmapData Error: when source does not contain a valid texture. The maximum allowed size in any dimension is 4096 or the size of the backbuffer, whichever is greater.
 
Error — 3768: The Stage3D API may not be used during background execution.

uploadFromByteArray()method 
public function uploadFromByteArray(data:ByteArray, byteArrayOffset:uint):void

Language version: ActionScript 3.0
Runtime version: AIR 3.8

Uploads a texture from a ByteArray.

Parameters
data:ByteArray — a byte array that is contains enough bytes in the textures internal format to fill the texture. rgba textures are read as bytes per texel component (1 or 4). float textures are read as floats per texel component (1 or 4). The ByteArray object must use the little endian format.
 
byteArrayOffset:uint — the position in the byte array object at which to start reading the texture data.

Throws
TypeError — Null Pointer Error: when data is null.
 
RangeError — Bad Input Size: if the number of bytes available from byteArrayOffset to the end of data byte array is less than the amount of data required for a texture, or if byteArrayOffset is greater than or equal to the length of data.
 
Error — 3768: The Stage3D API may not be used during background execution.
uploadFromByteArrayAsync()method 
public function uploadFromByteArrayAsync(data:ByteArray, byteArrayOffset:uint):void

Language version: ActionScript 3.0
Runtime version: AIR 24

Uploads a texture from a ByteArray.

Parameters
data:ByteArray — a byte array that is contains enough bytes in the textures internal format to fill the texture. rgba textures are read as bytes per texel component (1 or 4). float textures are read as floats per texel component (1 or 4). The ByteArray object must use the little endian format.
 
byteArrayOffset:uint — the position in the byte array object at which to start reading the texture data. This function asynchronously uploads texture data. Any draw method which attempts to use the texture will fail until the upload completes successfully. Upon successful upload, this RectangleTexture object dispatches Event.TEXTURE_READY. Event.TEXTURE_READY is a callback to indicate that the asynchronous call received for the texture object have been executed successfully. Upon any error during the background upload , this RectangleTexture object dispatches ErrorEvent.ERROR.

Throws
TypeError — Null Pointer Error: when data is null.
 
RangeError — Bad Input Size: if the number of bytes available from byteArrayOffset to the end of data byte array is less than the amount of data required for a texture, or if byteArrayOffset is greater than or equal to the length of data.
 
Error — 3768: The Stage3D API may not be used during background execution.
Event detail
errorevent 
Event object type: flash.events.ErrorEvent
ErrorEvent.type property = flash.events.ErrorEvent.ERROR

Language version: ActionScript 3.0
Runtime version: AIR 24

Dispatched by the RectangleTexture object when an asynchronous texture upload operation fails in some way. The failure code is provided in the errorID field of the error object.

Defines the value of the type property of an error event object.

This event has the following properties:

PropertyValue
bubblesfalse
cancelablefalse; there is no default behavior to cancel.
currentTargetThe object that is actively processing the Event object with an event listener.
targetThe object experiencing a network operation failure.
textText to be displayed as an error message.
textureReadyevent  
Event object type: flash.events.Event
Event.type property = flash.events.Event.TEXTURE_READY

Language version: ActionScript 3.0
Runtime version: AIR 24

Dispatched by the RectangleTexture object when an asynchronous texture upload operation has completed successfully, and the texture can then be used.

The Event.TEXTURE_READY constant defines the value of the type property of a textureReady event object. This event is dispatched by Texture, RectangleTexture and CubeTexture objects to signal the completion of an asynchronous upload. Request an asynchronous upload by using the uploadCompressedTextureFromByteArray() method with a true value for the async argument, or using a method such as uploadFromBitmapDataAsync or uploadFromByteArrayAsync. This event neither bubbles nor is cancelable.

This event has the following properties:

PropertyValue
bubblesfalse
cancelablefalse; there is no default behavior to cancel.
targetThe texture object that dispatched this event.
