Pixel Tool in Flash CC?

Community Beginner ,
Feb 24, 2015 Feb 24, 2015

Is anyone here familiar with the extension Pixel Tool v2.0?

I've used it for years in Flash CS3, and held on to that for dear life - but now I'm pretty much forced to start using CC. Unfortunately I can't get this extension to work in CC (Followed all the proper steps).

Does any one know of any other tools for drawing pixels directly in Flash? I know I have the Photoshop alternative, but I'd rather try to create directly in Flash if possible.

Thanks!

this will get you started, or may all you want:

function pixellateF(mc:MovieClip,pixelSize:int=4):void{

    var bmpd:BitmapData = new BitmapData(mc.width,mc.height,true,0xffffff);

    bmpd.draw(mc);

    for(var xvar:int=pixelSize/2;xvar<=mc.width;xvar+=pixelSize){

        for(var yvar:int=pixelSize/2;yvar<mc.height;yvar+=pixelSize){

            var col:uint = bmpd.getPixel32(xvar,yvar);

            for(var xx:int=xvar-pixelSize/2;xx<xvar+pixelSize/2;xx++){

                for(var yy:int=yvar-pixelSize/2

How exactly did you install the pixeltools to get it to work?  Did you use Command line as well?  If not, what was your alternative?

butterflysmasher said he used the command line and the file attached in comment 10 and it worked for him. But for some reason it ONLY worked for him and not for anyone else in this thread, so we're trying to figure it out. Right now it seems he has files that I don't have, maybe that's the reason? I don't know. I really need this tool to save in work time so I hope we can figure this out soon.

How would you be able to access it after installing?  Seems it'd require access to the custom tool panels which was since removed after CS6
