[Cursor slows down over transform items]

Sadly I don't have the time either right now. As a temporary solution I turned off the custom move cursor.

 

TransformManager.customizeMoveCursor(new Shape(), false);

[Cursor slows down over transform items]

I just tried snapCursor on both MOUSE_MOVE and ENTER_FRAME but the mouse movement is still sluggish in Chrome (Version 22.0.1229.94 m, FP 11.4.31.110, Win7).

 

Any chance you could do a native cursor implementation as outlined above?

[Cursor slows down over transform items]

So I tried setting the cursor style using ExternalInterface but Flash seems to ignore the style. So the cursor style appears correct when you are outside of the Flash application but returns to the default style when the mouse goes over Flash... this is really unfortunate.

 

I also tried attaching TransformManager.snapCursor() to the ENTER_FRAME event rather than MOUSE_MOVE. This fixes the slowness of the cursor but makes the cursor more "jumpy".

 

Jack, maybe you could abstact the CustomCursor so that you could easily swap out the current implementation with the native cursor implementation without having to worry about maintaining multiple TransformManager code bases. For example TransformMananger could work with an ITransformCursor interface that both CustomCursor and NativeCustomCursor could implement. This would greatly improve an already awesome piece of software.

[Cursor slows down over transform items]

The cursor speed has become a major concern in my current application (especially in Chrome). How about using ExternalInterface to change the cursor via CSS?

 

For example:

function setCrosshairCursor():void {

ExternalInterface.call("eval", "document.body.style.cursor = 'move';");

}

[Cursor slows down over transform items]

Sometimes the mouse cursor will slow down when moving it over a transform item. For example when I move my my mouse pointer over any other part of the app the pointer moves at 100% speed. Then when I move the mouse over a selected transform item and the move cursor appears the mouse sometimes slows as much as 50%. Unfortunately I can not create consistent steps to reproduce.

 

Has anyone else experienced this issue or have an idea what could be causing the cursor to lag?

 

I am using FlexTransformManager 1.9664.

 

Thanks!

[Selected item sticks to mouse after delete]

On a tight schedule so I worked around this issue by creating a new TransformManager each time an item is selected and destroying it when an item is deleted via the trashcan. Ill try to post an update if I come back to this part of the code.

[Selected item sticks to mouse after delete]

Thank you, that fixed the problem for the steps I provided but I am still experiencing my original issue. I will post back once I can create a simple set of steps to reproduce it.

[Selected item sticks to mouse after delete]

Hello,

 

I have a trashcan in my application where the user can drag items to delete them. This revealed a bug in the TransformManager where if you have the mouse down when an item is removed the next item that is selected will stick to the mouse.

 

Here are the steps to reproduce:

1) Add two items to a TransformManager have allowDelete=true

2) Select one of the items and hold the mouse button down. With the mouse button down press delete to delete the item.

3) Click the other item. Notice the item now sticks to the mouse.

 

Notice these steps are slightly different than what I am doing but produce the same result. I am using FlexTransformManager 1.9663.

 

Do you have any suggestions of how to work around this issue? Thanks in advance.

[Prevent constaining object dimensions to TransformManager bounds]

Indeed. I was using 1.965 (2012-01-23). Updating to 1.9663 (2012-05-15) fixed the issue. Thanks for the quick response!

[Prevent constaining object dimensions to TransformManager bounds]

Thank you, but I tried:

 

transformManager.bounds = null;

transformManager.clipContent = false;

 

And the transform item is still contrained to the FlexTransformManager dimensions. Any other ideas?

[Prevent constaining object dimensions to TransformManager bounds]

I am using the FlexTransformManager and I want to be able to scale objects to any size includind larger than the FlexTransformManager container. I have tried setting the 'bounds' parameter to null but I am still restricted to the FlexTranformManager dimensions.

 

Thanks in advance for your help.

[Flex Layering Issues]

Hello I am trying to use the FlexTransformManager in a design creation application. In the app I have multiple layers of visual elements that I want to transform. These layers are children of a <s:Group> with an alpha mask.

 

Example:

Group with Alpha mask

->Layer (<s:Group>)

--->VisualElement

->Layer

--->VisualElement

--->VisualElement

->Layer

--->VisualElement

 

The problem I am having is that I need the transform handles to appear above the mask but i need the visual elements to stay underneath.

 

I noticed the limitation "All DisplayObjects that are managed by a particular TransformManager instance must have the same parent". So I could put a FlexTransformManager in each Layer but then the transform handles are masked.

 

Any help would be greatly appreciated. Thanks in advance.
