Hi Florian!
I'm looking for a way to scale an image in the cast. This is for an online Shockwave
puzzle game. The steps involved are
1. Importing an image in Shockwave
2. Resizing the image to 240 x 240
3. Creating the pieces for the puzzle from the imported image
4. Building the game
So scaling the image must be done before the pieces are cropped and put in the score.
This is how I ended up resizing the image:
on sizeImage
myImage = member("userImage").image
myNewImage = image(240, 240, 16)
x = myImage.rect[3]
y = myImage.rect[4]
newRect = myNewImage.rect
-- this section croppes a rect from the middle
if (x < y) then
newRect = rect(0,0,x,x)
d = (y - x) / 2
newRect = rect(0,d,x,x+d)
end if
if (y < x) then
newRect = rect(0,0,y,y)
d = (x - y) / 2
newRect = rect(d,0,y+d,y)
end if
s = myImage.crop(newRect)
member("crop_dummy").image = s
myNewImage.copyPixels(member("crop_dummy").image, myNewImage.rect,
member("crop_dummy").rect)
member("newImage").image = myNewImage
sprite(1).member = member("newImage") -- for viewing the result
myImage = void
myNewImage = void
end
Please let me know if anyone has a better solution doing this.
Regards,
- Rainer
