Parameters
None.
Returns
An object that contains
properties. The
cTab
values of the form
"#RRGGBB"
The byte array is meaningful only when referenced by a DLL or shared library. You typically
use it only when creating an extensible tool or effect. For information on creating DLLs for
use with Flash JavaScript, see
Description
Method; lets you create bitmap effects by getting the bits out of the bitmap, manipulating
them, and then returning them to Flash. See also
Example
The following code creates a reference to the currently selected object; tests whether the object
is a bitmap; and traces the height, width, and bit depth of the bitmap:
var isBitmap = fl.getDocumentDOM().selection[0].instanceType;
if(isBitmap == "bitmap"){
var bits = fl.getDocumentDOM().selection[0].getBits();
fl.trace("height = " + bits.height);
fl.trace("width = " + bits.width);
fl.trace("depth = " + bits.depth);
}
