[Flashcoders] Constrain drag to non-rectangular shape

2009-07-01 Thread Eric E. Dolecki
I'd like to constrain a drag to an area that isn't a rectangle, which leads me to hitTest and an enter frame thing. However I am wondering if it could be done with math instead. At the moment: constrain to a multi-point shape (think deformed trapezoid) but could be ellipses, circles, etc.

To Prevent some extra hit testing, you could find a rectangle that exists inside of your shape, then check if it is within the bounds of that rectangle first, then if it goes beyond you can do the hitTest. Not sure if it will save CPU at all though. Ktu On Wed, Jul 1, 2009 at 8:51 AM, Eric E.
