ranging from 2009 till the latest a few days ago : http://thonbo.com/temporary/3D_displacement_pillow.html

ive been wanting to do displacementmaps in canvas the last year or so but ive been too busy i guess – with help from your code im gonna try to build the latest 3D displacement example in canvas

Performance wise, it is quite terrible on safari and seems to run well on chrome.

Comparing the Flash version and the javascript, the Flash version both looks better and performs better, at least for now.

Graphical operations are most of the time better in Flash, especially when they are built-in, and the one thing that is really missing in javascript (especially in this example) is the very good flash smoothing. Really sorely missed in everything I do in javascript.

Feel free to use and amend so it behaves how you like!

But good point, thanks for that!

I have some issues with the Global setting.

Although I have installed the latest Flex SDK 4.6, I receive the following error message:

Unable to compile: Some Flex SDK folders are missing. Your current SDK is probably missing the flash player version you are targetting. Please download the last Flex SDK from the Adobe website.

Do you have any solutions for this error?

Thanks and Regards,

San

Firstly thanks for the post as it’s really helpful and people like me definitely appreciate the time that people like you put into helping the community

Secondly I have a simliar bug but it’s quite quirky and I thought I’d share it on here just in case it ever happens to anyone else:

Bug with Firefox + Mac + Flash + Javascript + document.onmouseup

Scenario:
Client has a webpage that has an embedded flash movie communicating with javascript through externalinterface class
and also the javascript has a document.onmouseup event listener which in turn triggers a possible pop-up, when the flash movie is clicked. (Quirky way of doing things… I know… ).

Bug:
When the flash/swf movie is clicked, the document.onmouseup event in javascript picks up the event and opens a popup window in all browsers EXCEPT for Firefox on a Mac Machine (It works on Safari and Chrome on the Mac and all browsers on a windows machine).

Workaround:
Don’t use a document.onmouseup event, instead write a function that gets called from the externalinterface communication in javascript…

I know the workaround is kind of an obvious one, but up until then I assumed it was a flash specific problem…
If even this helps one person out there then this post will have been worth it.

Great work that looks promising !

After playing a while with the demo some things look confusing to me.
For exemple if is set a padding to a container it stops working if I set the contained element to fill.
I mean in this case there is no more padding?

I’m using baseUI v4 Hbox for a control bar of a video player and need to have a few buttons on the left and some on the right with a variable spacer between the two sides.
I have a flex background and it’s my first full AS3 project (without flex SDK). With flex,I’ll try to make something like this :

Can I do that with baseUI V4?
I see a Spacer class in the V3. Should I downgrade to this version to achieve this?

Thanks and sorry for my poor english

Is there a better way to do this out of the box? Or, if not, have others requested a convenience method for doing this, or even for setting the width and height to the contents size on refresh? (maybe in this case one might pass Number.NaN to the constructor to indicate a width or height that is automagically set when calling refresh()).

Other than that, works great so far — I was using the Yahoo Astra classes for this kind of layout before, but it was much clunkier…

Rotating an object and assigning left/right etc will deform it completely, any pointers on how to fix this without me spending many hours testing each aspect?

Thanks

Rotation seems to break it completely, I am trying to use it with senoculars transform tool everything works fine but if I rotate the object then base ui deforms the transformation.

Singleton.getInstance().initializeMyValue();
trace(“after = “, Singleton.getInstance().myValueNotInitialized);
trace(“after (1) = “, SingletonExtended.getInstance().myValueNotInitialized + ” >>> from SingletonExtended”);
trace(“after (2) = “, Singleton.getInstance().myValueNotInitialized + ” >>> from Singleton”);

I have a demo here: http://bbishop.org/blog/?p=502
may provide some inspiration
