SS5Player for AS3

See README_jp.md for Japanese documentation.

About this library

"SS5Player for AS3" is an ActionScript 3 library which enables Flash to display OPTPiX SpriteStudio animation data.

Currently, Starling Framework is supported as display target.

Requirements

• Adobe AIR or Adobe Flash Player, latest
• Starling Framework, latest
• OPTPiX SpriteStudio, version 5

Demo

Working sample is here:

http://promotal.jp/ss5player/SS5Viewer/SS5Viewer.html

Animation data included in this sample belongs to Web Technology Corp.

Simple Example

Try this in Starling Sprite:

public class SS5Viewer extends Sprite {

	private var loader:SS5ProjectLoader;

	public function SS5Viewer() {
		const SSPJ:String = "path/to/your/SpriteStudioProject.sspj";
		this.loader = new SS5ProjectLoader();
		this.loader.load(new URLRequest(SSPJ), this.onProgress);
	}

	private function onProgress(progress:Number):void {
		if (progress == 1) {
			// progress is 1 when loading is complete
			var player:SS5StarlingPlayer = new SS5StarlingPlayer(this.loader.project);
			player.startAnime("nameOfYourAnime");
			this.addChild(player);
		}
	}
}

Detailed Usage

Loading a Project

"SS5Player for AS3" can read SpriteStudio project files (.sspj) without conversion. Use SS5ProjectLoader to load a SpriteStudio project file (.sspj).

SS5ProjectLoader.load() requires two arguments, URLRequest and Function. First argument locates the target SpriteStudio project file to load. Second argument is callback to be called when loading has progressed or completed. (It is similar to using AssetManager.loadQueue() of Starling.)

Note: All of the related anime packs (.ssae), cell maps (.ssce), and texture files must be placed along with the project file.

When loading is complete, you can retrieve the SpriteStudio project as SS5Project from SS5ProjectLoader.project.

var loader:SS5ProjectLoader;
const SSPJ:String = "path/to/your/SpriteStudioProject.sspj";

this.loader = new SS5ProjectLoader();
this.loader.load(new URLRequest(SSPJ), this.onProgress);
private function onProgress(progress:Number):void {
	if (progress == 1) {
		// progress is 1 when loading is complete
	}
}

Displaying SpriteStudio animation

SS5StarlingPlayer is a Starling DisplayObject which can display the SpriteStudio animation data with Starling.

var player:SS5StarlingPlayer = new SS5StarlingPlayer(this.loader.project);
this.addChild(player);

Playback controls

First, calling setAnime() will load an animation from the project by name.

player.setAnime("nameOfYourAnime");

Then, calling play() and stop() will respectively start and stop the animation.

player.play();
player.stop();

Calling startAnime() does setAnime() and play() in order.

player.startAnime("nameOfYourAnime");

Setting loop to true will loop the animation.

player.loop = true;

Setting withFlatten to true will call Sprite.flatten() of Starling on each display update, which may improve performance for GPU optimized data.

player.withFlatten = true;

Use partNameAt() and partPlayerAt() to hitTest() against parts.

var name:String = player.partNameAt(x, y, forTouch);
var partPlayer:SS5StarlingPartPlayer = player.partPlayerAt(x, y, forTouch);

Specs

Currently, these attributes are supported: (will work with some of the most basic animations)

"CELL"
"HIDE"
"POSX"
"POSY"
"ROTZ"
"SCLX"
"SCLY"
"ALPH"

Additionally, only interpolation type "linear" is supported for now.
