Property Detail

_screenPass

property

protected var _screenPass:DefaultScreenPass

alphaBlending

property

alphaBlending:Boolean

Indicate whether or not the material has transparency. If binary transparency is sufficient, for example when using textures of foliage, consider using alphaThreshold instead.

Implementation
public function get alphaBlending():Boolean
public function set alphaBlending(value:Boolean):void

alphaThreshold

property

alphaThreshold:Number

The minimum alpha value for which pixels should be drawn. This is used for transparency that is either invisible or entirely opaque, often used with textures for foliage, etc. Recommended values are 0 to disable alpha, or 0.5 to create smooth edges. Default value is 0 (disabled).

Implementation
public function get alphaThreshold():Number
public function set alphaThreshold(value:Number):void

ambient

property

ambient:Number

The strength of the ambient reflection.

Implementation
public function get ambient():Number
public function set ambient(value:Number):void

ambientColor

property

ambientColor:uint

The colour of the ambient reflection.

Implementation
public function get ambientColor():uint
public function set ambientColor(value:uint):void

ambientMethod

property

ambientMethod:BasicAmbientMethod

The method to perform ambient shading. Note that shading methods cannot be reused across materials.

Implementation
public function get ambientMethod():BasicAmbientMethod

colorTransform

property

colorTransform:ColorTransform

The ColorTransform object to transform the colour of the material with.

Implementation
public function get colorTransform():ColorTransform
public function set colorTransform(value:ColorTransform):void

diffuseLightSources

property

diffuseLightSources:uint

Implementation
public function get diffuseLightSources():uint
public function set diffuseLightSources(value:uint):void

gloss

property

gloss:Number

The sharpness of the specular highlight.

Implementation
public function get gloss():Number
public function set gloss(value:Number):void

mipmap

property

mipmap:Boolean[override]

Indicates whether or not any used textures should use mipmapping.

Implementation
public function get mipmap():Boolean

specularMap

property

specularMap:Texture2DBase

A specular map that defines the strength of specular reflections for each texel in the red channel, and the gloss factor in the green channel. You can use SpecularBitmapTexture if you want to easily set specular and gloss maps from greyscale images, but prepared images are preffered.

Implementation
public function get specularMap():Texture2DBase
