I have a script that allows a user to upload an image then it downloads again at which point I’m trying to apply the transform tool.

I’m close but it is all wonky and I get various degrees of transforming, none of this is due to the script which is great

By the looks of it, this will definatlly provide me with all needed info/math to finish my own, so ye, thanks

greets marek

after you draw the object, use this to reset the registration point of the object:

myObj.transform.matrix = new Matrix(1,0,0,1, -regx, -regy);

where regx and regy are the half of the obj width/height

i tried to use it in a project but i have a problem
i have a movieclip that loads a external image
after the image is loaded i add u’r tool
the problem is that the image appears from the center of the transformation box (so the image is loaded on the bottom right part of the transformation box http://quasiperfect.eu/temp/example.jpg)
any ideas ?

On function onMousePress, move this line:
_mouseOffset = _targCenter.subtract(_mouseDownPos);
after the next cicle for.

CODE FIXED:
private function onMousePress(evt:MouseEvent):void
{

if (evt.target is Stage) hideBoundingBox();
_mouseDownPos = new Point(mouseX, mouseY);
// check if a registered target was selected //
for (var i:int = 0; i < _targets.length; i++)
{
if (evt.target==_targets[i]) {
activeTarget = _targets[i];
stage.addEventListener(MouseEvent.MOUSE_MOVE, moveTarget);
}
}
_mouseOffset = _targCenter.subtract(_mouseDownPos);
if (evt.target is TransformHandle) {
_handlepressed = true;
stage.addEventListener(MouseEvent.MOUSE_MOVE, transformTarget);
}
stage.addEventListener(MouseEvent.MOUSE_UP, onMouseRelease);
//stage.addEventListener(MouseEvent.MOUSE_UP, onMouseRelease2);
}

Again thanks for your help

I’m having one issue with it that I imagine is a pretty easy fix. I just need to know where to change AS.

When I select an item to be rotated the rotation box/handles appears far away from the item. The item is on the right side of the page while the handles are all the way to the left of the page.

Is there a setting in the TransformTool file that will fix this? That will place the transform handles exactly around the item to be transformed?

You can see the file I’m working on here…

Thanks again!

Excellent work, I myself was working in some tool like this & it works but yours really nice & works smoothly, but the difference is that my tool works over Dynamic sprites as well, I hope you could modify this point in your tool it would be awsome.

I will supply my tool in your site as soon as I finish it in a good looking output. regards to you all.

Thanks again!

The only problem I see is when switching between objects the next objects jumps to where the previously selected one is. I am using cs4. Also when I add a text box and convert to movie there is a problem scaling. http://www.iw50.com/transformTool/transformTool.html.

are library items that represent the display object to show when rolling over the tool in scale or rotate mode. look inside the library in the fla.

I tried to understand how you’ve made this application.

what thoses constructors :
new HandleHintScale();
new HandleHintRotate();

refers to?

Thanks,
Alex

This work of yours is great but after downloading it. I cant open it up in flash saying fail to open. Is it only myself? I tried different computer but none worked.Can you please check?

Thanks
hope to hear back from you soon

Thank you for great work and source files! I’m currently working on a image application were the user can upload a picture and scale/rotate it to fit in an selected background. Then he/she can export the image as a profile picture on facebook=)

Complicated, but your post got me started well on my research!

Thank you for sharing the script!

I am looking something like this tool.. and it’s a great fortune for one of my project.

Thnks a lot

So don’t mind the silly smiley’s.

thank you – that was most kind of you. I am stunned.

But I still have to work on the stage/root-level, don’t I? Would it be difficult to put in a setter where I also can assign the MovieClip/Sprite where I let my user play around. So I can isolate it and later use it for funny stuff.

In a real life project you would never do this directly on the stage level.
But rather make a “canvas” Movieclip where users can arrange their postcards or whatever it is. Typically you would want to “save” the creation by taking a snapshot of the clip. (sorry for my AS2-parlour

Like this

2.3 –userinterfacestuff etc
2.3.0 — lots of dynamic content to be dragged, rotated and layouted.
2.2 –CANVAS_mc
2.1 –PALETTE_mc
1. -platform_mc
0. stage

And typically I only want this behaviour on the canvas.

Yeah I know – my next question will probably be: and what about maing the elephant fly? Huh )

hope the sun is bright. Here denmark it’s dead black night

I had a few minutes this morning to update the script and add in the ability to register only specific display objects on the stage. Take a look at the documentation and hopefully this will help make things clearer.

great script.

I have been playing around with it now for a couple of hours, but I cant figure out how I implement it in a real project.

I have a tool where users can design stuff, so the functionality should only point at those objects in the _canvas_mc (thats where user creates stuff)

But the script seems to wrap the whole stage no mather what. I have been trying, among other things, to filter by adding code to

checkInvalidTargets($targ)

But I have a feeling that I oversee something. You must have a prop or function. Or???

if you got a minute – it would be nice to hear from the wizard him self : )

I would like to know if you are capable of coding the rotation center to be moveable, like in flash.
A tiny white dot that can be moved around and that serves as a pivot point for the rotation and scaling.
