(DEV branch) What to use instead of BitmapFileMaterial? Software: Away3D 4.x

M4TH76, Newbie Posted: 14 November 2011 08:13 PM Total Posts: 3 [ # 2 ] Thanks Here a little hack I made :] BitmapFileMaterial.as in root dir of my classpath/.fla package { import flash.display.BitmapData; import away3d.materials.TextureMaterial; import flash.display.Loader; import flash.net.URLRequest; import flash.events.Event; import away3d.textures.BitmapTexture; import away3d.materials.lightpickers.StaticLightPicker; public class BitmapFileMaterial extends TextureMaterial { public var bitmapTexture:BitmapTexture public function BitmapFileMaterial(url:String) { // constructor code bitmapTexture = new BitmapTexture(new BitmapData(256, 256, true, 0x00000000)) super(bitmapTexture) var loader:Loader = new Loader() loader.contentLoaderInfo.addEventListener(Event.COMPLETE, onBitmapLoaded) loader.load(new URLRequest(url)) } private function onBitmapLoaded(event:Event){ bitmapTexture.bitmapData = event.currentTarget.content.bitmapData } public function set lights(value){ this.lightPicker = new StaticLightPicker(value) } } }

Instead, you could look into creating a BitmapFileTexture that extends Texture2DBase or BitmapTexture base. That way, one Texture object can be shared across several materials, which is not something a BitmapFileMaterial would allow. Instead, it creates new BitmapData and BitmapTexture instances all the time. We’re planning to implement these things so you’ll have them ready to go (same goes for VideoTexture, MovieTexture), but if you feel like having a stab at it, feel free and let us know
