using images as nodes

[34all]

Hi Protocole,

welcome to FLAP and sorry that you have problems with the demo. And even more sorry, I have no idea why you get this error. As far as I see the necessary import for the EdgeSprite class is included in the demo

Code:

    import flare.vis.data.EdgeSprite;

so if you have flare included in your class path it should do. Which IDE are you using? Hope somebody else here can give some hint.

Cheers

martin

line 101 visits all edges, maybe you missed something of the code, or deleted some part...i just download it and run here without problem. it's not a code problem.

I modified the code, but still, the color of the rectangle (in the getRectSprite() method) sometimes appears and sometime doesn't appear (I mean, the rectangle appears sometimes only) ! It's really random ! I don't know why, any clue ?

I guess it comes from a bad handle of flash of the different layers in the node.

Do you have the same problem ?

this demo shows how to use images as nodes. It does this by simply adding a Loader for the respective image to the node while setting the shape attribute null. (you might want to use a shape, an image and a textsprite together also)

The images are appearing in an animated fashion in this demo once the loading process is complete. More important to notice here is that the width and height of an image, if not known beforehand, can only be determined once the image is loaded completely. We use the loading complete event for that matter also to center the image.

ps Don't forget to also download the three attached images in order to run the demo (or use your own ones and change the source code accordingly). These images have to be included in the output folder of your IDE.

Hi Martin,

I'm newbie with flare and I'm trying to use images as nodes, I tried your example and works fine. Thanks for posting it . So, I have a question: I have only 7 different images but lot of nodes. In your example you use a loader per node, and I tried to use 7 loaders and add this 7 loaders to all nodes with addChild...

The result i have is that the first node of each type has the right image but the other nodes no. And the question is... if is possible to addChild a loader to diferent nodes?. Or can I do this wthout loading 50 images when much are the same image?

ion.

Hi Achmed,

one way to go is to clone the bitmapdata loaded by the Loader.

Check for example the BitmapDataExample at the bottom of
