AS3 Scale9 Bitmap

Filed under: AS 3, Bitmap, Display Object, Drawing by pauliusuza |

AS3 Scale9 Bitmap is class that lets you create scale9 sprites with bitmap data fill – originally this was not possible in Flash 9. The class creates a “fake” scale 9 sprite containing 9 shapes that scale according to user-defined scaling matrix. Extremely useful for quick user interface work (creating buttons, scalable UI elements etc.)

Scale9Grid Helper

Filed under: AS 3, Display Object, Drawing by admin |

I have been working on a project with lots of round cornered cubes. They all have to scale so i apply scale9Grids. Making a new Scale9Grid everytime and not seeing the grid frustrated me enough to come up with a solution to all my problems.

Thus the birth of the Scale9Helper class.

This class can make a Scale9Grid for you and it can also visualize you grid. SO you can actually see how the Scale9Grid is layed out.

From the site:

This is a simple ActionScript 3 implementation of the class marching ants selection marquee you find in applications such as Photoshop.

The class is based off this ActionScript 2 example here; http://www.nocircleno.com/experiments/selection_ants_proof/index.html, but adds in many more methods and is entirely self contained. Drawing the bitmaps for the marquee internally in the class.

Features

Either Fixed or user drawn marquee
Draggable or static fixed marque
Programatically changeable marquee colours
Programatically changeable marquee line thickness
Does not rely on library assets for marquee

WindowBlur

Filed under: AS 3, Bitmap, Display Object, Drawing, Effects by admin |

Blurs a background (MovieClip or Sprite) behind a transparent window (MovieClip or Sprite). Based on Pixelfumes AS2 class.

From the site:

I was checking out a website yesterday when it suddenly reminded me of a Pixelfumes experiment I remembered seeing many moons ago. After finding it with a quick Google search, just for kicks, I decided to play around and update the idea to AS3.
