input property.
The ShaderInput instance representing a Shader instance's input image
is accessed as a property of the Shader instance's
data property. The ShaderInput property has the same name
as the input's name in the shader code.
For example, if a shader defines an input named src,
the ShaderInput instance representing the src input
is available as the src property, as this example shows:
myShader.data.src.input = new BitmapData(50, 50, true, 0xFF990000);
For some uses of a Shader instance, you do not need to specify an input image, because it is automatically specified by the operation. You only need to specify an input when a Shader is used for the following:
- Shader fill
- ShaderFilter, only for the second or additional inputs if the shader is defined to use more than one input. (The object to which the filter is applied is automatically used as the first input.)
- Shader blend mode, only for the third or additional inputs if the shader is defined to use more than two inputs. (The objects being blended are automatically used as the first and second inputs.)
- ShaderJob background execution
If the shader is being executed using a ShaderJob instance to process a
ByteArray containing a linear array of data, set the ShaderInput instance's
height to 1 and width to the number of 32-bit floating
point values in the ByteArray. In that case, the input in the shader must be defined with
the image1 data type.
Generally, developer code does not create a ShaderInput instance directly. A ShaderInput instance is created for each of a shader's inputs when the Shader instance is created.

channels | property |
channels:int [read-only] | Language Version: | ActionScript 3.0 |
| Runtime Versions: | Flash Player 10, AIR 1.5 |
The number of channels that a shader input expects. This property must be accounted for when the input data is a ByteArray or Vector.<Number> instance.
Implementation
public function get channels():intheight | property |
height:int| Language Version: | ActionScript 3.0 |
| Runtime Versions: | Flash Player 10, AIR 1.5 |
The height of the shader input. This property is only used when the input data is a ByteArray or Vector.<Number> instance. When the input is a BitmapData instance the height is automatically determined.
Implementation
public function get height():int public function set height(value:int):voidindex | property |
input | property |
input:Object| Language Version: | ActionScript 3.0 |
| Runtime Versions: | Flash Player 10, AIR 1.5 |
The input data that is used when the shader executes. This property can be a BitmapData instance, a ByteArray instance, or a Vector.<Number> instance.
If a ByteArray value is assigned to the input property, the following
conditions must be met:
- The
heightandwidthproperties must be set. - The byte array's contents must only consist of 32-bit floating-point values.
These values can be written using the
ByteArray.writeFloat()method. - The total length in bytes of the ByteArray must be exactly
widthtimesheighttimeschannelstimes 4. - The byte array's
endianproperty must beEndian.LITTLE_ENDIAN.
If a Vector.<Number> instance is assigned to the input property, the
length of the Vector must be equal to width times height times
channels.
Implementation
public function get input():Object public function set input(value:Object):voidwidth | property |
width:int| Language Version: | ActionScript 3.0 |
| Runtime Versions: | Flash Player 10, AIR 1.5 |
The width of the shader input. This property is only used when the input data is a ByteArray or Vector.<Number> instance. When the input is a BitmapData instance the width is automatically determined.

public function get width():int public function set width(value:int):voidShaderInput | () | Constructor |
public function ShaderInput()| Language Version: | ActionScript 3.0 |

Creates a ShaderInput instance. Developer code does not call the ShaderInput constructor directly. A ShaderInput instance is created for each of a shader's inputs when the Shader instance is created.
