getImageData of specific movie clip

[ed971]

Hi

Is there a way to have getImageData of an specific movie clip instane, without having multiple hidden canvases ?

for example:

var targetData = this.mapMc.children[0].image.getImageData(0, 0, 200, 200);

Best regards

getImageData retrieves pixels from a canvas object. So you're asking if you can get data from a canvas without having a canvas.

No. No you cannot.

Thank You good sir.

Does that mean, if i want to mix pixel data from difrent layers do i need to have multiple hidden cnavases of that objects alone ?

Would that be the only and efficient way ?
