Hello Andrew, Burak and Peter! @Peter: nice to 'meet you'! Beside the fact, you code links are dead now, it is hard to get through to you. ;-)
I have looked for those classes some time ago, and Burak and other helped me out. I also found some nice transformation objects that can be applied to Arrays based on the 'ASVDrawing' format. I always wonder, why this format has not experienced wider distribution, especially in the open source community, because when using a mtasc/compiler-only based workflow, it makes sense to draw vectors on runtime, I think. One could e.g. implement components and skin them using different 'ASVDrawing' formatted arrays. Greetings from the stormy black forest in Germany, Matthias 2007/6/26, Burak KALAYCI <[EMAIL PROTECTED]>:
Hi, Yes, Peter's classes ship with ASV along with Ivan's AS2 class. Both of the main class codes are also duplicated in ASV help file, available online. I can send the class code to anyone interested, just email me and have "ASV" in the subject line else I may miss it. One can get Peter's code and see pages through http://www.archive.org . http://web.archive.org/web/20040813055937/http://www.peterjoel.com/ActionScript/index.php?go=asvdrawingtransform Best regards, Burak www.asvguy.com Burak KALAYCI, Manitu Group http://www.buraks.com http://www.manitugroup.com ----- Original Message ----- From: "Peter Hall" <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> To: <[email protected]> Sent: Tuesday, June 26, 2007 12:43 AM Subject: Re: [Flashcoders] how to "get" controls and anchors of curve,gradients, etc. >I think those links are dead now.
