[flexcoders] Re: Creating Resize Handles
I should have done a debug and walked in through, but my issue has to do
something with the creation of the tool and when its created in the "marks"
layer of Flare.
I had to do the following:
tool = new TransformTool();
tool.moveEnabled = false;
tool.skewEnabled = false;
tool.registrationEnabled = false;
tool.constrainScale = true;
tool.maxScaleX = 2;
tool.maxScaleY = 2;
//tool.scaleWithRegistration = scale_registration.selected;
_vis.marks.addChild(tool);
tool.x = _targ.x;
tool.y = _targ.y;
tool.target = _targ;
My issue before was I was assigning the target of the tool then doing addChild.
Which even though I had a reference to targ to pass in I guess it makes sense
that the tool needs to be added the marks layer before assigning a target so as
to understand its boundaries and what not.
So problem solved. Thanks for your help, though.

[flexcoders] Re: Creating Resize Handles
I sounds like you might be having issues with where you added the TransformTool
as a child. Try adding the TransformTool as a child of the application and see
if that helps. If you are still having problems you could email me or post your
code and then I could take look at it.
Here is an example of how I used it this tool before. All of this code was
right in a script tag on the main mxml file.
private var transformTool:TransformTool;
private function imageClickHandler(event:MouseEvent):void
if (!transformTool)
{
transformTool = new TransformTool();
addChild(transformTool);
}
transformTool.target = event.currentTarget as DisplayObject;
}

[flexcoders] Re: Creating Resize Handles
Robert, have you used the transformtool in a flex app before? When I try to add it via tool.target = mySprite and myOtherSprite.addChild(tool). It puts the tool on screen but its so small I can barely see it. If I try to set the w or h it stays the same size; tiny. Also when the tool is put on screen its about 200 pixels away on the x-axis.

This one is much better! I don't have to throw my objects in it like the other one.

ObjectHandles is ok but they do not handle rotation very well. Have a look at this http://www.sephiroth.it/weblog/archives/2007/07/transformtool_modification.php --- In flexcoders@yahoogroups.com, Fotis Chatzinikos wrote: > > Google ObjectHandles ;-) > > On Thu, Sep 17, 2009 at 5:06 PM, flexaustin wrote: > > > > > > > Anyone ever create or see a tut/example on how to create resize/skew > > handles on Sprites or UIComponents? > > > > Say you click a Sprite on screen, the sprite would should show a bounding > > box, similar to Flash, Photoshop, Visio or Firefox, which allow you to make > > the clicked Sprite wider, thinner, skew, or rotate the Sprite. > > > > TIA, J > > > > > > > > > > -- > Fotis Chatzinikos, Ph.D. > Founder, > Phinnovation > fotis.chatzini...@..., >
[flexcoders] Re: Creating Resize Handles
This can be quite difficult depending on how robust you want it to be. I have built 2 different "Transform" tools to suit some specific needs I had but here is a link that should work for most people. http://www.sephiroth.it/weblog/archives/2009/06/multiple_objects_using_senocular_tran.php It is basically Senocular's transform manager, which is great, ported over to flex with some added extras. If you want to go down the route of building your own I can provide you some example code I have, but I would also suggest looking at source code from the link above.
