Flipbooks with only images

[markknol]

It would be nice to have a bit smarter flipbook layer where it does not only take a snapshot of every keyframe, but also takes in account which bitmaps are on that layer, to avoid duplicated sprites in the texture.

Example timeline: [bitmap1 - bitmap2 - bitmap3 ---- bitmap2 - bitmap1]

Now ouputs: [clip_flipbook_0 - clip_flipbook_1 - clip_flipbook_2 - clip_flipbook_3 - clip_flipbook_4]

Ideal ouput: [clip_flipbook_0 - clip_flipbook_1 - clip_flipbook_2 - clip_flipbook_1, clip_flipbook_0]

I think it would be doable to check how unique a flipbook frame is (based on bitmap/symbol-name), maybe even with multiple layers, but I would be ok if it fails when shapes/lines are used.

This is a good idea. I'm not able to put much time into Flump at the moment except for issues that directly affect my current project, but I can offer pointers if you want to take a stab at the implementation?

I already downloaded the project to provide some updates/tweaks. but I found it hard to even build and get it running, it has a quite different setup from what I'm used to (scary maven-stuff that installs things i never heard of), so some pointers would be nice :)

Which step are you getting stuck on?

Also, what is your normal setup? Do you use an IDE? The maven stuff just automatically downloads the swcs that Flump depends on, but you can set that stuff up manually in your IDE as well (I do this myself).

I prefer FlashDevelop, but I have experience with FDT too. I had no idea how to start with both. Would be nice if there was a projectfile for one of those.

I'm not opposed to hosting project files for common IDEs, though I don't have either FlashDevelop or FDT.

You'll want to create a project for the runtime that includes the source files in the runtime directory. If you look at runtime/pom.xml, you can see the libraries that the runtime depends on: react-as3 (1.1), starling (1.4.1), and fzip. Get these three libraries - they're all hosted in my maven repo:

https://github.com/tconkling/maven-repo/raw/master/com/timconkling/react-as3/1.1/react-as3-1.1.swc https://github.com/tconkling/maven-repo/raw/master/com/gamua/starling-framework/1.4.1/starling-framework-1.4.1.swc https://github.com/tconkling/maven-repo/raw/master/deng/fzip/a5430bd/fzip-a5430bd.swc

And you should be good to go.

The exporter is a similar process - again, look at exporter/src for all the source files, and exporter/pom.xml to see which libraries you need to grab.

Hello, this would be really helpful, did it get implemented?
