  • b
    wonder if its something to do with how the assets are loaded for the buttons
  • b
    maybe the load too soon or something in the flash player
  • q
    Is it properly hooked into the same asset manager as the rest of Flixel? Or doing its own thing?
  • q
    Or do I even know what I'm talking about enough to make a coherent question?
  • b
    it can do either / both... not sure how the flixel backend is wired up though
  • q
    Think that's literally AssetManager.
  • b
    i can confirm the same on flash
  • b
    Every item could just be a FlxGroup, but then I’d need to implement position and all that again
  • b
    It would be lighter weight than sprite group, but eh
  • q
    I want to have a witty response to that, but I'm too tired >.<
  • q
    Yeah, okay.
  • q
    As far as I know, it's 
    OpenFL.Assets
    by the time you get to me writing code.
  • q
    Some files I have to parse the hard way are accessed via that.
  • q
    Digging into what that really means under the hood is beyond my capability.
  • q
    As to what haxeui-flixel is doing, specifically... MSGhero?
  • b
    these are the functions that are being used for the inbuilt default theme:
  • b
    Copy code
    haxe
    override function getImageFromHaxeResource(resourceId:String, callback:String->ImageInfo->Void):Void {
        trace(resourceId);
        var bytes = Resource.getBytes(resourceId);
        imageFromBytes(bytes, callback.bind(resourceId));
    }
    
    public override function imageFromBytes(bytes:Bytes, callback:ImageInfo->Void):Void {
        
        var ba:ByteArray = ByteConverter.fromHaxeBytes(bytes);
        
        var loader:Loader = new Loader();
        
        loader.contentLoaderInfo.addEventListener(Event.COMPLETE, function(e) {
            
            if (loader.content != null) {
                var frame = FlxImageFrame.fromImage(cast(loader.content, Bitmap).bitmapData).frame;
                frame.parent.persist = true; // these two booleans will screw up the UI unless changed from the default values
                frame.parent.destroyOnNoUse = false;
                callback( { data : frame, width : Std.int(frame.sourceSize.x), height : Std.int(frame.sourceSize.y) } );
            }
        });
        
        loader.loadBytes(ba);
    }
  • b
    i guess the simplest method might be to stop that and have them as flixel resources
  • b
    havent tried that though
  • q
    Merchaza!
  • q
    I can't fathom doing that over just making them be part of Flixel's asset store.
  • b
    I was about to say "Unity has an asset store, but Flixel doesn't"...
  • b
    well, that function is useful... sometimes you want to have assets in haxeui-core that are used by all the backends
  • q
    Gama, I assume you knew what I meant XD Because I needs me them asset flips. Gotta' flip em all... and the tables they're presented on.
  • q
    Ian, that much makes sense; is there not some way to just append to Flixel's asset listing?
  • q
    I have to say this may qualify as the most architecturally insane project I've seen in a minute, at least to wrap my head around.
  • b
    do you know whether that would even fix anything at this point though?
  • q
    I don't. Nor do I wish to waste the time of busy people. Nor am I capable of doing so to test it, as far as I'm aware.
  • b
    cast(loader.content, Bitmap).bitmapData
    would be nicer as 
    (cast loader.content : Bitmap).bitmapData
    btw
  • b
    Bleh
