[flexcoders] Re: BitmapData from asset embedded in external stylesheet swf

2012-05-11 Thread flexwdw
I should add -- this all works with an image embedded in the code swf...it's 
just when I try to do the same thing from the external swf it doesn't work.  I 
can use the asset as a cursor just fine, so I know there is nothing wrong the 
asset too.

[flexcoders] BitmapData from asset embedded in external stylesheet swf

2012-05-11 Thread flexwdw
I can't seem to figure out how to get the BitmapData for a resource embedded in 
an external stylesheet swf.  I'd really like to have a piece of artwork in the 
swf that I can pull in via code and render into a UIComponent as a bitmap.  
Does anyone know how to do this?  If I use the StyleManager to get a style 
declaration and then pull the embedded asset of it and cast it to a Class, I 
don't seem to be able to use that class to create a BitmapAsset like I'd 
expect.  Any ideas would be greatly appreciated.  (I'm still a sad camper stuck 
on 3.6 btw).  Thanks.

Thanks Rob.

Those last minute changes being easy to make was mentioned in the last 
entry here for a 100 line project...


http://knowledge.robotlegs.org/discussions/questions/898-why-use-robotlegs-more-elaborate-explanation-than-the-book-gives-needed

Because my programs are quite small I wondered if it was overkill but I 
am really attracted by the structure and I am reassured by yours and Rob 
VanCuren's comments, so thank you both.

It has really good reports.
I was trying not to overcomplicate things but it certainly feels like 
a good way to go.

I have used it for pure as3 and flex projects.

As far as using it for small projects, it can be worthwhile because 
of the convenience methods that it provides. It's also pretty easy 
to add robotlegs to a project you have already started.

Hi there.

I am about to start some small AS3 projects.

I do like the idea of the structure that robotlegs offers and am
considering whether to invest the time to get into it.

Please let me know if...

a) you use robotlegs and like it.
b) you consider it worthwhile for small projects.

Thanks

Whoops.   I once asked a guy about "gun control", but I used a "B"
instead and was told to go to the gym.

I spoke too soon.  We are suing ClearCase and I can't check out and
update a module now without the error.
