if you want to only show it if itll be visible, you want to know if the current aspect ratio of the window matches your game or not

besides the window stuff, does a sprite have a variable that makes it not change positions when the window's size has changed

youll have to do that yourself

"makes it change position" in what way? you have to define that yourself

not really change positons, the x stays the same but the sprite moves to the right whenever it changes the size

which is really a problem cause then it'll cover the whole game

@able-printer-41379 Forgot to ask! Is your original problem with the maximization and such resolved or is there still issues with it?

i'll probably not use that method cause the main problem is the sprite's positions

https://github.com/LeotomasMC/chroma-fighters/blob/main/source/DebugDisplay.hx#L487-L491 i think this is similar to what you want

thanks! i'll try it

Do any of you know how to draw a MovieClip object onto a BitmapData object from the top left and not center

Here is my code

var clip = Assets.getMovieClip ("player:");
var bitmapData = new openfl.display.BitmapData(Std.int(clip.width), Std.int(clip.height),true);
bitmapData.draw(clip);

is there any haxelibs that arent

haxe-gif

that also load and play gifs?

since from what i have tried i cant seem to get a gif to load without removing the part that throws the error, and even when doing that one of the two gifs i tried was slower than normal

format

hey guys! I was trying to install https://github.com/openfl/starling but I am getting this error ?

Don't know about the npm install but if you have no particular reason for using js you could try the haxelib version

good morning, is anyone here familiar with the away3d library?

if you have a question about it, just ask it

dontasktoask.com

fair

if anyone here is knowledgeable, how does someone get away3d to render a simple cube?

i see a lot of stuff in the examples, but it's mostly more complex stuff like particles, skyboxes, and the likes

heya so i was reading up stuff to try using format to read gifs but from all i can understand the only way to use it would be using

sys.io.File.read()

since it returns an

Input

object, is there a different thing that returns the same thing since iirc

sys.io.File

doesnt work on html5 (do correct me if im wrong tho)

openfl Assets will read files - probably getBytes is what you want - never tried format so I don't know what input type it wants

Input

as in haxe.io.Input https://api.haxe.org/haxe/io/Input.html

hmmmm... so probably some path via BytesInput and load bytes into that - but I've not quite figuring out how

yeah so this is gonna be a bit ugly. There is a recipe in this post . You'll have to create a Bytes object of the right size and iterate over the ByteArray returned by Assets.getBytes() and copy them over. I don't know how well this works given that that Bytes.set() takes an Int but the post above suggests it did work when they tried it. Once you have the Bytes object should be able to give that to BytesInput() and then you can pass that to the format code. Or at least that's one possible route. I have not tried it, but if I had to do it that's what I'd try.

is cacheAsBitmap still used? I tried calling this method, and my game crashes

Ive got a question, how do you draw a bitmap through shader fill? Im asking this because I was trying to copy how flixel renders images through quads, but it crashes all the time the second I drawQuads
