Do you think it is possible for me to have a copy of the AS3 version too? Very nice work!

Thanks,
Chad

Great – I’ve emailed you, Seb, so will await your response.

Yeah sure, why not. I’ve got an AS3 version but I’m not 100% happy with it. Mail me at the address on the about page and we’ll talk about it.

cheers!

This is very nice. I always google whatever generic library I’m about to code, so I happened upon your post when looking for custom versions of cacheAsBitmap. Can you not release rough code for one of us to polish? I’d be happy to do it and let you take all the credit – it’s just that if you don’t, I (and others probably) will have to code our own versions from scratch. Literally, I’ll be coding it tonight if you’re not yet willing to release yours; since you’re so busy with PaperVision, why not offload this?

well the as2 version handled swapping back automatically, but it was quite hacky. The AS3 version (coming soon :S) will return a bitmap object that you can manually switch with the MovieClip/Sprite.

thats a good idea , so you take a snapshot and replace the original vector but how do you go back to that original vector ?

I’m so sorry that this hasn’t quite made it out there yet. I tried setting up a project on OSFlash but it didn’t quite happen… I will revisit this at some point – it’s clearly an area that is important to people, but I’m snowed right now and don’t know when that’ll be.

I should also say that superCacheAsBitmap won’t really speed up things that are already bitmaps and will only speed up moving, scaling and rotating clips that don’t contain any animation. So I’m not sure it’d help in your case anyway.

cheers

Hi, any new on this “superCacheAsBitmap” thing? I’m trying to animate large swf’s and jpg’s… i’d love to find a way to speed this up a bit.

Is this a dead project or is it still under construction?

Got any tips on how to matrix-transform large bitmaps a little faster? cacheAsBitmap doesn’t really make that much of a difference (in my case anyway…)

hey jboy,

So sorry for not doing this – it’s all been v v v crazy here at Plug-in! It may be that I just post up the core bits of code rather than make a new clever class out of it. But I haven’t forgotten! Email me if you want to discuss… seb at pluginmedia dot net.

cheers
