I've downloaded GreenSock-AS3 from the Dashboard Archived AS3

Comparing AS3Docs/.../plugins vs GreenSock-AS3/.../plugins there are 10 files less on GreenSock-AS3 

Any idea where to get a newer version? (git hub has an even older version with more missing files) 

I know this is far way old, but I would like to test my experiment idea in "flash" before starting to downloading TouchDesigner and lerging from scratch. 

Thanks :] 

Having said that, any help is greatly appreciated.

ex) move, rotate, resize

What should I need to apply the function for enlarging the cursor/icon in my code?

Is there any possible to reduce a quality of an image?

I've tested two cases, the result is interesting for me.

Once I call an image from file browser,

Common Action :

bitmap.smoothing = true;

The size of an image : 600px X 600px (width:height).

Background color : white.

First Case :

Nothing to do with an image, then print the image.

The quality of an image is not bad.

Second Case :

Add a child into transformManager, then just moving an image.

Do not resize then print document as well.

The quality of an image is too bad. (pixelation)

So I'd like to know is there any methode prevent this kinds of thing?

I mean that I've finished resize or rotations jobs, I want to get event listener name.

Oh one more thing,

Can I customize the icon on my select boundary box?

I want to add "delete" icon in there.

Thank you.

I want to get movie clip from transformItem.

I understand how to get movie clip under the event method like below :

function onSelectClip(event:TransformEvent):void {

But I want to get movie clip from transformManager(var manager:TransformManager) directly.

So I try,

var mc:MovieClip = manager.getItem();

Could you give me an advice?

I'm trying to transform horizontally flip in my TransformManager.

fliph_btn_m.addEventListener(MouseEvent.CLICK, clickFlipHorizontalHandler);

function clickFlipHorizontalHandler(event:Event):void {
    manager.flipSelectionHorizontal();
}

Am I missing something?

On selecting transformItem, the flipSelectionHorizontal method does not work at all.

[Partial Solved]

When I declare the selected item(manager.selectItem), it works fine. I mean there are no problem.

BTW is there any chance to resolve it without adding manager.selectItem?

I just want to do select TransformItem that I've loaded in the stage.

If then I have to check existing in the stage too.

Question 1. How can I access the transformItem?

I've marked the color of text, Is this a good way?

var manager:TransformManager = new TransformManager({allowDelete:true, autoDeselect:true});

// ref is an index number;

function clickHandler(e:MouseEvent):void {
    if(manager.selectedTargetObjects[ref] == null){
         // No item in the transformanager

    } else {
         // here is the item's existed
         manager.selectItem(manager.selectedTargetObjects[ref]);
    }
}

Question 2. How can I select transformItem if it is still in the stage.

Once I added the transformItem I can transform size properly.

However I try to select transformItem again, It has disappeared and New item add in the stage.

All I have to do is that I want to select transformItem again that I made once. I mean I want to show selection boundary display again.

I think it is related to below code but I cannot figure out at all.

manager.selectItem(manager.selectedTargetObjects[ref]);

or getSelectionBoundsWithHandles

I'm wondering, the transformitem how to remove child item?

Do I need to destroy() method declaring always if I try to removeChild from my stage?

If I use bitmap in transform item, Should I run dispose() function at every removeChild action For the memory?

I've read the document for this one, However I could not find my answer

var manager:TransformManager = new TransformManager();

var mc1Item:TransformItem = manager.addItem(mc1);
var mc2Item:TransformItem = manager.addItem(mc2);

Question 1 :

I'd like to add an option "allowDelete:true" in the transformManager.

How can I resolve my trouble?

Question 2 :

And there are one more thing.

I'm planning to make a button that is used in purpose for removing TransformItem.

If then which action do I declare?

I'm currently using backspace key for removing item

e.g. finish move or finish scale or finish rotate..

If I finish doing job such as moving, rotation, scaling at a time,

I want to get event handler so that apply mask job.

mc0Item.addEventListener(TransformEvent.FINISH_INTERACTIVE_MOVE, onFinishClip);

if then, How can I find the name of movie clip in onFinishClip method?

function onFinishClip(event:TransformEvent):void{

    var mc:MovieClip = event.currentTarget as MovieClip // error occurred

}

2nd Mouse pointer's disappeared when I finish to move the movie clip with transform manager.

I don't know why this problem occurred but After moving or rotating the movie clip, mouse pointer had disappeared for a while.

How can I resolve it?

Code sample:

var my_item:TransformItem = t_manager.addItem(my_mc);
my_item.addEventListener(TransformEvent.SELECT, addToList);
function addToList(event:TransformEvent):void
{
    selectedArray = new Array;
    for (var t:int = 0; t<t_manager.selectedTargetObjects.length; t++)
    {
        selectedArray.push(t_manager.selectedTargetObjects[t]);
    }
    ///selectedArray = t_manager.selectedTargetObjects;
    ///selectedArray = t_manager.selectedItems;
}

//// Remove items from targetObjects array:

index = 0
for(var i:int = 0; i< selectedArray.length; i++)
 {
 ///////// some code here
 index++
 //trace(index) // output: 4
  if (index == selectedArray.length)
  {
  for (var t:int = 0; t < index; t++)
   {
     t_manager.removeItem(selectedArray[i]);
   }
  }
 }
it's removing one item only!

But, when I apply a ColorMatrixFilter to a container - in this case taking the whole design area and applying a greyscale effect - the TransformManager selection box / handles show up offset up and left from the actual target.

The filter applied looks like-

_greyScaleEnabled == true;
var matrix:Array = new Array();
matrix=matrix.concat([0.5,0.5,0.5,0,0]);// red
matrix=matrix.concat([0.5,0.5,0.5,0,0]);// green
matrix=matrix.concat([0.5,0.5,0.5,0,0]);// blue
matrix=matrix.concat([0,0,0,1,0]);// alpha
var greyscaleFilter:ColorMatrixFilter=new ColorMatrixFilter(matrix);
applyCanvasMatrixFilter(greyscaleFilter)

public function applyCanvasMatrixFilter( $matrixFilter:ColorMatrixFilter ):void {

if (!_myFilters) { _myFilters = []; }
_myFilters.push($matrixFilter);
_layersContainer.filters = _myFilters;

}

From this point on, after the TransformTool had been positioned perfectly up until this point, it will now be offset significantly up and left.  It seems there may be some kind of translation from child x,y position to the stage position / transform tool container (localToGlobal or similar?) that might not be working right when a filter like this is applied to a grandparent of the target object.

Scale is at play too of both the target object and the container object as well.

Is this a known bug, or are there configurations for the TransformTool that will help correct offset?

Does applying a filter to a parent container wipe out location data of child objects in flash somehow?

Thanks so much for any insight on how to fix this...

private static function onKeyPress($e:KeyboardEvent):void {
_keysDown[$e.keyCode] = true;
if ($e.keyCode == Keyboard.DELETE || _keysDown[Keyboard.SHIFT] && _keysDown[Keyboard.BACKSPACE])
...

The code above will not work unless I set the "hasSelectableText" Boolean to false:
 

newVars.hasSelectableText = ($targetObject is TextField) ? false : $hasSelectableText;

But now I am not able to highlight the text! how to solve that please? can you point me to the line where I can set the selected object as a text field or "hasSelectableText"?

Or if I added the text field inside a movieClip is there any way to use "SCALE_WIDTH_AND_HEIGHT" function instead of the normal scale mode? Thanks.

Cheers,

Andy

PS Sorry, I posted this message also in your TransformManager comments page (free free to delete).

What I need to do is

1. Save and restore transformation data NOT using the built in XML scheme

2. Enable user control through NumericSteppers in addition to direct interaction.

I've try to go easy on the code below. The settings are stored in an Object. The "canvas" is a Flex SpriteVisualElement. It can change in size if the user opts for "full screen" mode – so property settings are stored as percentages and the current values are derived from the current size of the "canvas". The items being managed by the TransformManager are nested custom classes inherited from Sprite:

And item is structured like this:

CustomBaseClass  – Sprite

      CustomSuperClass    – Sprite 

            BitmapClass         – Sprite - loads & parents a Bitmap

            VectorClass          – Sprite - loads & parents a SWF

The results are erratic – things jump all over, the proportions get distorted. Is there an order of operations I should follow? Or a better ways of doing this? I guess I can cram all the code into one class if that would work.

Am I doing this Wrong?

            var newX:Number = canvas.width * (_winEvent.percentRect.x/100);
            var newY:Number = canvas.height * (_winEvent.percentRect.y/100);
            var newWidth:Number = canvas.width * (_winEvent.percentRect.width/100);
            var newHeight:Number = canvas.height * (_winEvent.percentRect.height/100);
            var newRot:Number = _winEvent.rotation;


          _transformItem.x = newX;
          _transformItem.y = newY;
          _transformItem.width = newWidth;
          _transformItem.height = newHeight;
    
          // reset rotation
          _transformItem.rotation = 0;
          _transformItem.rotation = newRot;

          //  have tried the 'rotate' function too
          //_transformItem.rotate(radians);

         // **have tried calling 'update'
        //_transformItem.update();

           // ** have also tried
          // transformManager.updateSelection(true)

Attached text file shows exact error:

The TransformManager "autoDeselect" property is set to true and I have added both sidebars to thr TM's "ignore" list. It mostly works ok except there is a "dead" area on one section of my canvas (a Spark Group element). This means that clicks in those areas does not trigger an autoDeselect. However if I have a "collage" element in that area, I AM able to select it – so it's confusing.

This is likely a "stupid Flex" problem than a TransformManager issue but I've been trying to debug this for hours and I haven't been able to identify what is eating the mouseClicks.

Question: Can someone point me to the function in TransformManager which processes mouse click events. I looked a bit at the source code and put in some trace statements but didn't gat any output. I am thinking that maybe Flex has created some invisible crap skin thing in the "dead" area which is part of one of the ignored sidebars– but I have no idea how t get at it.

Thanks!

What's going on here and how can I workaround this?

Many thanks,

Vjeko

I was wondering if it's possible to save other variables/properties of objects when exporting XML using TransformManager?

I'm building a game authoring engine using it and it's working great, but I'm hitting situations where I need to save extra information about the managed objects.

For instance, if I wanted to save a point value to a game object, or a target name for a teleporter game object? ie: 

pointVal = "100"

or 

teleportTargetID = "B100"

Thanks,

Brent

In a test project, I load in some movieClips and then call the trace statements below. The Console output is at bottom.

- the movieClips exist and are managed by my TransformManager instance

- the exportFullXML command works

Am I using "exportItemXML" wrong? Or is this a bug?

            trace("objects", manager.targetObjects);
            trace("xml?", manager.exportItemXML(manager.targetObjects[1]));
            trace("single object", manager.targetObjects[1]);
            trace("all xml", manager.exportFullXML());
            
            var xml:XML = manager.exportItemXML(manager.targetObjects[1]);
            trace("xml??", xml);

Console output

Why TransformManager hide unicode symbols (☺☹☂☃) or other languages chars like Cyrillic, or Hebrew (עברית)?

I know that Flash currenty supports unicode, you can do this in flash:

tf = new TextField();
tf.text = "☹"; 
//also works with unicode directly
tf.text = "\u263a";

Why doesn't work with TransformManager?

Thanks!

The issue is that with an item selected, the TM "move" cursor appears outside the selection bounds, and it seems like there is a ghost shape or something the same size as the selection but offset from the center which is triggering it. That's clear, right? There's an image below to show what I mean.

I added the red rectangle in Photoshop to indicate the ghost area which is triggering the TM move cursor. This area is active and the selection can be moved by clicking and dragging within the red rectangle.

I've built a stripped down Flex project which shows this issue and attached the exported .fxp below (without the TransformManager lib, of course). I've tried every way from Tuesday to determine if this is my bug and am not seeing it. Is this a Flex bug, a TM bug?

The selected item is a Flex Spark group which loads an swf. It is pretty bare bones, so I am baffled as to where this ghost shape is coming from. I've stripped out the loader AS code below

<?xml version="1.0" encoding="utf-8"?>
<s:Group xmlns:fx="http://ns.adobe.com/mxml/2009"
