Recently, i have been advising some fellow teachers about
using revMedia to create educational content.
One of the most frequent request that i found, is the
possibility of reusing images (vector and bitmaps) across
different stacks and reusing the same images in the one
stack with variations in size, ink effects, inside groups, etc,
without including the same images several times, to achieve
the desired effect.
Notice that Graphics software, like Adobe Ilustrator, Flash
and Xara have implemented this concept:
http://www.jnack.com/adobe/flash/symbols.html
How could we implement this concept with our stacks,
so there is not need to import the same bitmaps or
vector graphics to apply different effects or dimensions
in different cards?
Everything is smoke and mirrors with software. When Illustrator makes a
"symbol" it's still a copy, but maintains a reference to some source
object from which its properties are derived.
With Rev, we have:
set the properties of <obj> to the properties of <obj>
You can also modify the properties array - for example, this will assign
the properties of one button to those of anothe but allow the
destination object to keep its own name, label, and rect:
on mouseUp
put the properties of btn "aaa" into tObjA
delete var tObjA["label"]
delete var tObjA["name"]
delete var tObjA["rect"]
set the properties of btn "bbb" to tObjA
end mouseUp
