Re: [swfmill] newbie: creating animation from a series of jpg files various timings

From personal tests I've seen a request for 30fps actually yield 25fps even when nothing is being drawn and the cpu is 90% idle. Just something to remember if you experience timing problems. My suggestion is to make objects you can control the points on (with HaXe or AS) and use fractional translation based on a reliable timing source (like the millisecond counter) to adjust animation frame-to-frame when animation needs to synchronize to other things like music or other logic (such as you might have in a game). I'd recommend making a generalized class for handling fractional translation and then a derived class that can load an object and display it to the apporpriate translation on each frame's render-pass (onEnterFrame). pre deltaMSec : (state_b - state_b or deltaStateAB) totalMsec /pre deltaMSec starts at 0 (then record the time that the action starts let's call it startTime), totalMsec is the time (in Msec) that you want the translation to take from complete the change from state_a to state_b on each pass (onEnterFrame) you compute deltaMSec as curTime-startTime (curTime can be had with a function call) and clamp deltaMSec to the range max(deltaMSec,0) and min(deltaMSec,totalMsec) Multiply the ratio to get (deltaMSec * deltaStateAB) / totalMsec and this gives you the translation for that frame. .=. | Christopher BRIAN Jack aka Gau of the Veldt | +=' | [EMAIL PROTECTED] `=- Hi Spambots, my email address is [EMAIL PROTECTED] Hi Humans, my email address uses rot13 cipher ___ swfmill mailing list swfmill@osflash.org http://osflash.org/mailman/listinfo/swfmill_osflash.org

If you had your vertices in JSON format it is basically actionscript so could be compiled by MTASC. You could then use actionscript's drawing functions. Is there a description of this format somewhere? Or would I be better off making a Haxe class for each vector object (that creates its own movieClip when constructed)? .=. | Christopher BRIAN Jack aka Gau of the Veldt | +=' | [EMAIL PROTECTED] `=- Hi Spambots, my email address is [EMAIL PROTECTED] Hi Humans, my email address uses rot13 cipher ___ swfmill mailing list swfmill@osflash.org http://osflash.org/mailman/listinfo/swfmill_osflash.org

Can't do a proper game without being able to manipulate vectorized shapes. In fact this one thing could make SWF not an option if there's no way to get more than one SVG into a SWF project. Sorry Brian, that doesn't really make me consider spending any time on SVG import-- why should i care if you use SWF? Furthermore, there is a workaround: convert the SVGs one-by-one to SWF first, then import those SWFs. You wont be able to manipulate any of those shapes from flash though, either way (although certainly you can /use/ them). Great thing to do. Alienate the few people that use open source solutions and force them to use the expensive alternatives (like flash) becuase without swfmill Haxe can't do anything in its SWF export except make simple shapes with the drawing primitives. SWF is one of the few cross-platform solutions that works equally acrosses platforms and OSes. Little things like that... .=. | Christopher BRIAN Jack aka Gau of the Veldt | +=' | [EMAIL PROTECTED] `=- Hi Spambots, my email address is [EMAIL PROTECTED] Hi Humans, my email address uses rot13 cipher ___ swfmill mailing list swfmill@osflash.org http://osflash.org/mailman/listinfo/swfmill_osflash.org
