Re: [Flashcoders] how to get controls and anchors of curve, gradients, etc.
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.
