iphone vector as bitmap

May 14, 2012 12:20 PM

Hello!

 

I am trying to adapt a flash game developed for the browser to the iphone.

 

The game is similar to the old windows game where you have a pannel whith hundreds of cells and you have to dicover where are the bombs without activate it.

 

I had a big amount of vectors that represent each cell in the game, the problems comes when I try tu run it in the iphone, is to slow, imposible to reder all the cells.

 

I tried using cacheAsBitmap, cacheAsBitmapMatrix but doesn´t work.

 

Someone could give me a clue and put me on the right way to run it on the iphone.

 

I am working with flash CS5.5

 

Thanks a lot

    Make sure to try Direct as your renderMode, and don't do any cacheasbitmap or cachseasbitmapmatrix.

    Yes, thanks!

     

    It works much better.

     

    But it carry on working a bit slowly and you have to click more than one to trigger the click event.

     

    I found a code that draws a grid and work very smoothly. The problem is that I have to do each cell interactive, to hide it, or to color it. This is the code:

     

    var bmpd:BitmapData = new BitmapData(2, 2, false, 0x000000);

    // Create a rectangle, 1x1 pixels

    var rect:Rectangle = new Rectangle(0, 0, 1, 1);

    // Place the rectangle inside the bitmap data object

    // Give it a color... Black.

    bmpd.fillRect(rect,0xFF0000);

     

     

    var mc:MovieClip = new MovieClip();

    // Create a new bitmap fill based on the bitmap data object

    // And allow it to repeat

    mc.graphics.beginBitmapFill(bmpd, null, true);

    mc.graphics.drawRect(0, 0, 320, 480);

    mc.graphics.endFill();

     

    Do you think is a better way? How can i make each cell interactive?

     

    Apologies for my english and thanks so much

    Why are you using a different technique, instead of just taking the web version and using it exactly as it was?

    Because it is working a bit slowly than in the browser, I'm using Iphone 4, I think in ipone 3 it will work very slow.

     

    Some times when I click it doesn't do nothing like if the sistem can't respond to the click event.

     

    But thanks any way, I thought maybe there was a better technique, but i am following your advise and I am working more in my old code.

     

    Thanks!!!
