Multiple selection

[_Vlad_]

Hi Jack,

 

Is it correct I understood? ... In version 1.9xx the multiple selection possible only with SHIFT-click/CTRL-click.

 

The multiple selection by mouse only (press a mouse button -> select region with DisplayObjects -> release the mouse button) will be more convenient for user. Do you have in plans to implement this ability into the TransformManager?

 

 

PS. TransformManager -- the best tool for transformation in Flash/Flex !!!

Are you talking about clicking in an empty area of the swf and then dragging and having TransformManager draw a rectangle and then when the user releases the mouse anything touching that rectangle would be selected? Yeah, that's not a feature of TransformManager. No plans to implement it either, but maybe someday in v2

 

FYI, you could certainly add that functionality yourself - you can create selections directly through code like myManager.selectItems([item1, item2]) so all you'd need to do is build the part that would draw the rectangle selection and sense which objects are touching it and feed those to TransformManager's selectItems() method.

>>Are you talking about clicking in an empty area ....?

Yes, you are absolutely right.

 

ok, thank you for advice!

I will try to create a "mouse selection".

Hey _Vlad_,

 

did you create a mouse selection mode yet? I would be interested in it, too.

 

Thanks, trispo

Hi trispo,

 

yes, I have created this ability (thanks to Jack for the advice).

You can see video with example.
