BitmapFilter

Package	flash.filters
Class	public class BitmapFilter
Inheritance	BitmapFilter Object
Subclasses	BevelFilter, BlurFilter, ColorMatrixFilter, ConvolutionFilter, DisplacementMapFilter, DropShadowFilter, GlowFilter, GradientBevelFilter, GradientGlowFilter, ShaderFilter

Language Version:

ActionScript 3.0

Runtime Versions:

The BitmapFilter class is the base class for all image filter effects.

The BevelFilter, BlurFilter, ColorMatrixFilter, ConvolutionFilter, DisplacementMapFilter, DropShadowFilter, GlowFilter, GradientBevelFilter, and GradientGlowFilter classes all extend the BitmapFilter class. You can apply these filter effects to any display object.

You can neither directly instantiate nor extend BitmapFilter.

Examples How to use this example

BitmapFilterExample.as

The following example shows how several filters may be applied to a given DisplayObject object and tracked using the filters property.

package {
    import flash.display.Sprite;
    import flash.filters.*;

    public class BitmapFilterExample extends Sprite {
        public function BitmapFilterExample() {
            trace(this.filters.length);             // 0

            var tmpFilters:Array = this.filters;
            tmpFilters.push(FilterFactory.createFilter(FilterFactory.BEVEL_FILTER));
            tmpFilters.push(FilterFactory.createFilter(FilterFactory.GLOW_FILTER));
            this.filters = tmpFilters;

            trace(this.filters.length);             // 2
            trace(this.filters[0] is BitmapFilter); // true
            trace(this.filters[0] is BevelFilter);  // true
            trace(this.filters[1] is BitmapFilter); // true
            trace(this.filters[1] is GlowFilter);   // true
        }
    }
}
