Question

Load transparent images from CameraRoll in iOS

Loading transparent images from the CameraRoll works in Android fine, but in iOS, the BitmapData recieved from loading from the camera roll comes in with the transparency stripped out, leaving me with ugly square edges that just won't do. The images show transparent in my photos, but are the transparency is all whited out when I get them in my app.

I have searched and searched for a fix for this bug, but haven't found anything. Is there some way to specify to the CameraRoll or MediaPromise to check for transparency? What have I overlooked?

Thanks a lot for reporting the issue. We’ve been able to reproduce the issue.
We’re investigating it at our end.

Ah thats good to hear somebody is on it, hope you can fix it. That would make some awesome features of my apps much more convenient and user friendly.

Also could you look at this thread while you're here, I don't think it got seen by any Adobe people:

It is a horrid text bug that can make apps that use textfields frustratingly unusable on some Androids that come with custom input methods preinstalled and preselected (Seems to be the case on most Samsung devices to my knowledge, making this a huge issue). The Swype guy claims the bug has to do with predictive text and is on 'my app or the editor used to make it' and not Swype (in which case it may effect other input methods too). I have no way to specify such things within an AIR TextField so it must surly be an AIR editor issue if that is the case.

I have exactly the same problem.

Anyone knows a solution to correct this ?

Thanks
