Different transparencies in AS or in Moho

p6r · Post by **p6r** » Sun Mar 18, 2007 9:34 am

I have a big problem with the png transparency with AS but not in Moho :
So, what has changed in AS ??????????????

When I import a png picture (exported with the same parameters from AS and from Moho) in my creation program (MMF 2) I have a perfect transparency (= no bad pixels around the outlines) if the picture comes from Moho... and a not perfect transparency (= bad pixels around the outlines) if it comes from AS !?!
With a black or a white background it's the same thing !!!

The best : if I create the file in AS, export the picture in png format and import it in MMF 2 => BAD !
If I only change the extension of the file (.anme -> .moho) and I open the file with Moho... then export... The transparency is perfect in MMF 2 !!!

So something has changed in AS !?! But what ?
Could you "repair" that ???

Can you post some file examples to reproduce the problem???

@ Genete :
You just have to draw a circle with an outline (4, for example) into AS and into Moho... then create a png picture with "export animation" (from frame 1 to 1)...
Then import the picture into MMF 2 if you have it and you will see the big difference of quality around the shape...

To make games I need perfect transparency around the characters or others...
Moho allows that !

AS doesn't allow that !!!

Thanks

I can't help with your problem, but have you posted this in the Bug Report section of the forums so they know the problem exists? If not, please do so they can fix this in later versions of AS.

I've used GameMaker myself. Do you have any games online we could download and play?

I have followed your steps and dont see any difference in the render quality of Moho and AS. I am talking about AS Pro. Perhaps AS lite have some problems that I cannot reproduce.
Here are the files produced by Moho and As opened with Gimp and watched at 800% of zoom. I dont see any difference. Both renders are from the same moho/anme file.

I dont have MMF 2 so I cannot duplicate the error. Sorry.

Perhaps the problem is because of smoothing/anti-aliasing in the other program? This would cause the lines around the edges to have "bad pixels", or rather pixels that aren't fully transparent. Still doesn't explain why it would only happen in AS though...

@ Genete :
Very strange...
Maybe the Gimp doesn't work like MMF 2 with the import of png files !?!
Thnaks to have tried to solve my problem...

@ LittleFenris :
Yes I have made more than 200 (educational or not) games on this website... (http://p6r.free.fr
If you want to test my most appreciated program (an educational version or a normal version) you can go here : http://p6r.free.fr/yannland.htm ! Its' a platform game with more than 40 levels...
To play, no problem (with french) : Only click on the green arrow for the first time... Then start and jump with Shift and move with the arrows !
Every 4 levels you can note a key at the top of the screen to tape on the introduction level to begin (almost) where you stopped the last time you played...

Where are your programs ???

@jhbmw007 :
Maybe...
As you say : It doesn't explain why it only happens in AS !?!
