AS3 liquid layout class

Julian — Thu, 09 Apr 2009 01:16:20 +0000

I’m sure everyone has needed one of these at one time or another. I just decided to finally get one together for myself.

To use, you first call StageAlignTool.init() and pass in the stage, and optionally a minimum width and a minimum height (defaults to 1024×768).
Next, you call StageAlignTool.registerLocation() and pass in the displayObject you wish to register, which position you wish it to lock to (StageAlignTool .TL means Top Left, StageAlignTool.MC means Middle Center), and optionally if you want it to stay relative to where it is now (true) or snap to the edge of the stage (false).
The class automatically sets your stage scale mode to NO_SCALE and the stage align to TOP_LEFT. It also expects the display objects you pass it to have their registration points in the top left corner.

Download

Usage:

//StageAlignTool.init(Stage reference[, min width = 1024, min height = 768]); StageAlignTool.init(stage, 1024, 768);


//StageAlignTool.registerLocation(a DisplayObject, position to lock to[, stay relative to current = false]);

//possible locations are [StageAlignTool.]TL, TC, TR, ML, MC, MR, BL, BC, BR

StageAlignTool.registerLocation(bg, StageAlignTool.MC);

Give it a try and tell me what you think.

AS3 bitmap mosaic class

Julian — Wed, 01 Oct 2008 22:06:39 +0000

This class will allow you to create a pixellated copy of any display object.

It allows for varying pixel sizes and caching of rendered pixels so you don’t have to redraw them every time.

mosaic

Usage is as follows:

var myMoz:Mosaic = new Mosaic(yourDisplayObj:DisplayObject, pixelSize:uint, useCache:Boolean);
addChild(myMoz);

var myMoz:Mosaic = new Mosaic(yourDisplayObj);
myMoz.pixelSize = 10;
myMoz.render();

Give it a try and let me know what you think.

Whitewave – Sun Cha website

Julian — Mon, 08 Sep 2008 18:54:33 +0000

These comps were created for Whitewave’s Sun Cha brand energy drink. It’s a natural tea drink that’s caffeine free so you don’t get the rush/crash with most other energy drinks.
The campaign is titled ‘Take back the afternoon’ and the site was built to look like a public rally for those who wish to take back their afternoon.
