field belongs to class
variables are declared within functions

I never had a problem distinguishing, as I try to keep fields first, properties second, events following them and methods last.

I typically name a field like _sample, and variables like sample, and the property like Sample. You won’t get confused until you use delegates But when you do understand delegates, you’re probably C# first-class citizen.

void foo() { foo(4); }
void foo(int mass) { …}

But may give more flexibility, e.g.
void move() {move(0,0);}
void move(int x, int y) {…}
by allowing to define cases when ‘optional’ parameters must come together

another good idea is to trace the name of all the embedded fonts and copy the font names from the traced values, that way you always make sure you are using the right name: http://www.adobe.com/livedocs/flash/9.0/ActionScriptLangRefV3/flash/text/Font.html#enumerateFonts%28%29

It’s a shame that the we still have to use Flash to embed fonts since the Flex compiler doesn’t have all the features and isn’t reliable.

any tip to get ‘n’ number of random numbers……from the same function?

After reading the title of the post, I thought it would resize by rebuilding a smaller image after copying the pixels! That is what I was looking for.

So your solution basically crops the image right ? So I was confused and I should say, that in my opinion cropping is not the same as resizing although it also produces a different-size image. For that reason image-editing software menus have different options named “resize”, and “crop”.

Maybe the post should be called “Cropping a Bitmapdata” ?

Anyway your cropping code was good to learn too, thanks !

var bmp:Bitmap = loader_content;

/// create a new BitmapData instance at the size i want bmp to be
var temp:BitmapData = new BitmapData(260, 260);

/// copy the pixels from bmp to the new BitmapData instance
temp.copyPixels(bmp.bitmapData, temp.rect, bmp.bitmapData.rect.topLeft);

/// clear out bmp’s old BitmapData
bmp.bitmapData.dispose();

/// assign the resized BitmapData to bmp’s (now empty) BitmapData
bmp.bitmapData = temp;

returnFunction(bmp.bitmapData);
}

The BitmapData I get is a 260×260 square of the top left area of the original image… So in this case it’s just extracting that 260×260 square out of the original, starting at 0,0.

I wish it worked, I only managed to make it work like this:

static private function onBitmapLoadComplete(e:Event):void
{
var loader_content:Bitmap = Bitmap(_bitmaploader.contentLoaderInfo.content)

var mat:Matrix = new Matrix();
mat.scale(260 / loader_content.width, 260 / loader_content.height);

var bmpData:BitmapData = new BitmapData(260, 260, true, 0xFFFFFF);

bmpData.draw(loader_content, mat);

returnFunction(bmpData);
}

here I get it resized with transparency

reguardless, i haven’t seen an actionscript library that has similar functionality. but i am in the early stages of creating one.

From the demos I’ve seen of Project Natal it seems ARish and it’ll be sweet to see how games run with it. I’d wager that Microsoft probably has a headset in the works to do some kind of AR action for the 360, but that conjures up memories of the wildly successful Nintendo Virtual Boy.

you rock.

The Flash/Flex IDE’s have always been sort of an Achilles heel. Maybe that will change now that they are actually spending some time on them.

I am envious of the ASDoc generator, messing with ANT can be a pain in the ass.

How do i know the embeded fonts trought out all the classes?

Let’s say i have a flex project, and in the of the main mxml file i
add the Embed[(source="fonts.swf", fontName="GEIST RND")]
lines like in step four, then i hav a CustomButton class that hass an TextField with a font set to “verdana” and embedFonts=true. I add then an instance of the CustomButton as a child to main mxml file.

Will the verdana font be known to mu TextField in the CustomButton class ?

Thanks in advance mate!
