Does anyone know how to create a typographic mosaic in Flash, or if there are any related tutorials? I'm trying to do something along the lines of Amaztype http://amaztype.tha.jp/ except with small-size words filling in the large-size word.
I think the main question is how do you determine the large-size word's area to fill with content (text or photos) without spilling over into the whitespace? I'm guessing it has something to do with hitTest(), but how do you ensure placement and scale of the inner content? Do you randomly place it and scale it down incrementally until it fits? I'm also guessing that the BitmapData class could make things a lot easier, but I'm not exactly sure how. Any thoughts? _______________________________________________ Flashcoders@chattyfig.figleaf.com To change your subscription options or search the archive: http://chattyfig.figleaf.com/mailman/listinfo/flashcoders Brought to you by Fig Leaf Software Premier Authorized Adobe Consulting and Training http://www.figleaf.com http://training.figleaf.com
