[flexcoders] 3D plane
In Today's New York Times there's a cool 3D flash app that shows how Tiger Woods double-bogeyed a hole: http://www.nytimes.com/interactive/2009/06/19/sports/0619-tiger-graphic.html?hp Does anyone know how one could accomplish this in Flex? I want a plane that recedes toward the horizon, which would have primitive child objects on it (cubes, spheres, whatever) and I want to be able to do the kinds of transformations that you see in the above example. Thanks, David

If your attempt to use List had poor scrolling it implies that your post renderer is inefficient. No, List scrolling in Flex 3 (Halo) isn't really scrolling, it just jumps to the next item, so no matter how you optimize your renderers, this is going to happen. I believe this is fixed in Gumbo, so a move to Gumbo might help. One thing the OP might want to try in addition to lightening the repeated components is to use a repeater and start out by just loading 5 (or however many are visible without scrolling), and then add to the collection after those are drawn. -Amy
[flexcoders] Sticky Scroll bars
After a mouse up on my flex app the scroll bar still sticks as I move the mouse around, until another click. This is a real annoying bug, anybody know if this is going to be addressed? How did this bug get out in the first place from QA?
Re: [flexcoders] matrix help
It seems like you should just be able to do this: var scaleFactor:Number = .1; image1.scaleX *= (1 + scaleFactor); image1.scaleY *= (1 + scaleFactor); image2.scaleX *= (1 - scaleFactor); image2.scaleY *= (1 - scaleFactor); That should affect your matrices as necessary. If you're scale factor is like 1.1, 1.2, etc. as you describe, you should be able to do this instead: image1.scaleX *= scaleFactor; image1.scaleY *= scaleFactor; image2.scaleX *= (1 - (scaleFactor - 1)); image2.scaleY *= (1 - (scaleFactor - 1)); I didn't actually try it out, but it seems like it should work.

I've got a little app that is the same old small viewer / large
image type thing we all know and love.
I've got a slider that sets the scale - ie when the user zooms
up, the large image zooms up and the 'box' canvas does the
invert so that it shows what view the user is seeing -- dig?
Now I'm trying to allow the user to move the small box around
and see that same view with the large image; I've tried the
following which ALMOST works --when the user moves the box to
the right (ie x++ and y++) the large image goes to the left; but
when the user moves it BACK the large image doesn't move back to
the right.
private function boxMouseDrag(e:MouseEvent):void{
borderBox.transform = box.transform;
var bigM:Matrix = big.transform.matrix.clone();
var boxM:Matrix = new Matrix();
boxM.translate(box.x, box.y);
boxM.invert();
bigM.concat(boxM);
big.transform.matrix = bigM;
//big.transform.matrix.translate(box.x, box.y);
out.text = dragging + box.transform.matrix;

[flexcoders] So might as well move everything to FB4 now?
I'm just developing personal hobby type stuff at this point. No paying customers or production work (at least until what I'm working on is far enough along to demo). So, I'm thinking, let me know if any of y'all disagree, that there is no reason that I should not make the jump to FB 4 and just leave Flex 3 behind for good. I'm just feeling a little dismayed in that there are still a bunch of Flex 3 books that I was planning to read and now it looks like there are some fundamental shifts in the flex/flash builder approach to things. But such is the price of progress I guess. For the transition comfort zone, can I develop in FB4 as if it were Flex Builder 3 and then add specific FB4 things as I learn them? I guess that would have to work, right? (Otherwise, it would break Flex Builder 3 projects). Can I run 2 versions of eclipse on the same machine (full Flex 3, and full FB 4) both with their own java and subversive plugins? And, its also my understanding that I lose NOTHING by using the plugin (into an existing eclipse) vs the full install, correct? Will the FB4 plugin work just fine with a Ganymede 3.4 JEE Birt package? How about 3.4.1? brad

Re: [flexcoders] argh: matrices and dragging
I'm referring to this statement:
---
Now I'm trying to allow the user to move the small box around
and see that same view with the large image; I've tried the
following which ALMOST works --when the user moves the box to
the right (ie x++ and y++) the large image goes to the left; but

---
When I move the border box left and right, the large image is moving in
the opposite direction. That part seems to be working. The part that
doesn't seem to be working is when moving the border box, the large box
should be moving more than it actually is. From looking at your code, I
think you're trying to take scale into account but just doing it
incorrectly. I'm not a matrix pro (few people are, which is probably
the reason you're getting few responses) and I haven't tested what I'm
about to say, but here's my shot at it from my experience:
An object's tx and ty are unaffected by the object's scale. In other
words, if you translate an image that's a normal scale by 10 on both the
x and y axis, it's the same as if you translate and image that's at 2x
scale by 10 on both the x and y axis. They're both still going to end
up at 10, 10 in their parent. So I think there are a couple ways to do
what you're trying to do. For starters I think you could get the
x-change of your border box, multiply it by the large image's scaleX,
then use that number to translate the large image. Do the same kind of
thing with Y. Does that make sense?
