I actually found the answer to my own question about the transparent png. In the Mosaic.as I changed the getPixel function to getPixel32. var color:uint = bmd.getPixel(colorX , colorY); to var color:uint = bmd.getPixel32(colorX , colorY); Let me know if there is a problem with this. Hi again.

I actually found the answer to my own question about the transparent png.

In the Mosaic.as I changed the getPixel function to getPixel32.

var color:uint = bmd.getPixel(colorX , colorY);
to
var color:uint = bmd.getPixel32(colorX , colorY);

Let me know if there is a problem with this.

This is really cool, but do you know if this can be done with a png that has a transparent background? Cordially Vayu Hey Julian.

You should follow packages standards so that other people can store this with their other class. http://gfxcomplex.com/wp-content/uploads/2009/09/StageAlignTool.zip There are a few things still wrong with it though. 1: stayRelative set to true breaks the class. 2: stayRelative set to true should be default since people would expect that the local x/y of the object would be where it positioned.. 3: I added a throw error on the constrictor so that you can't create an instance and understand why. 4: I added some basic docs: used asdoc with flash develop 5: I added a flash develop project. Way better then flash IDE and comparable to flash builder 6: you could probably dispatch an event when StageAlignTool is set on or off and or if you reached min x/y 7: you could use Event.ADDED_TO_STAGE and Event.REMOVED_FROM_STAGE to listen for when the DisplayOject is added to stage to start the init() or registerLocation(), or to call kill when the item have been remove from the stage. that way you have to call one less function. Any how, nice work. Hey nice class,

There are a few things still wrong with it though.

1: stayRelative set to true breaks the class.

2: stayRelative set to true should be default since people would expect that the local x/y of the object would be where it positioned..

3: I added a throw error on the constrictor so that you can’t create an instance and understand why.

4: I added some basic docs: used asdoc with flash develop

5: I added a flash develop project. Way better then flash IDE and comparable to flash builder

6: you could probably dispatch an event when StageAlignTool is set on or off and or if you reached min x/y

7: you could use Event.ADDED_TO_STAGE and Event.REMOVED_FROM_STAGE to listen for when the DisplayOject is added to stage to start the init() or registerLocation(), or to call kill when the item have been remove from the stage. that way you have to call one less function.

Any how, nice work.

The hard part (for designers and bloggers) is getting the WP values into a flash-friendly format. Personally I would want the ability to add photos to a post like always and have flash handle them with preloaders so it could be a gallery-in-a-post rather than requiring a click-through. I would want to be able to "post" a swf and have the template load it like into another mc within the template. I am a designer, and the main appeal for me with a Flash front end would be to use all the things that flash can do that are difficult or tedious with javascript, such as vectors and true animation (as opposed to just moving something around). While flash might offer some cool advantages on the back end, I think the real benefit of a flash WP front end is the design possibilities... otherwise WP feels pretty strong and has tonnes of plugins, which the flash front-end will inevitably disable. I hope you succeed with this... I am eager to get my hands on a good one. Honestly, I think the best part about a flash front end would be the ability to customize.
