I try to use your Cube, Flip, Rotate and Zoom examples with a ViewStack with children created at runtime. The childs was: I create a container and inside this I add a image component for each image file loaded with BulkLoader.

When I change the selectedIndex of ViewStack, the effect is ready but the effect show first image in the front and black background in the back, when the effect is finish the second image is showed.

I know this is a creationPolicy =”all” staf, but I set this for the viewstack at design time but, at runtime the childs are created when the selectedIndex is changed.

Yours examples are for design time childs created only?

Any idea???

Thanks in advance.

Sorry for the double post, but these are the 2 issues I found with Efflex CubePapervision3D:
1. The duration parameter doesn’t seem to do anything – no matter what duration I set, it’s always taking about 5 seconds to render.
2. The effectEnd parameter seems to trigger before the effect has ended. I set the effectEnd function to change the cube direction and change the viewStack selectedIndex. For this test example the cube just alternates between left and right rotation. But the effectEnd is firing too early and so you end up with multiple instances of cube rotations.

Any ideas?

Hi again Tink,

I tried using the CubePapervision3D effect in Efflex, but it had big rendering issues. I couldn’t see the other FP10 Cube Effect you mentioned so no idea how well that one would work.

I think for now we’ll need to stick with the old cube effects as they’re doing the best job. The only issue still is with caching. Is it possible to force an update of the cube cache? I could trigger that when switching too/from full screen mode and that might solve our issue.

Thanks!

Basically they are in there and you can use them.

There are 2 different problems with them.

1. Due to perspective on 3D effects they either need a render area bigger than the original dimensions, or they need to be scaled throughout the effect to keep them inside the original dimensions (you can see this taking place on the FlipPapervision3D effect if you have clipContent set to true on the ViewStack. If clipContent isn’t set to true I need to work out how big the dimensions will need to be at the start, and I’m currently waiting for some info back from the PV3D team for this.

2. The above applies for the Flash Player 10 Cube effect (found in the spark package), although I’m not waiting for a response for the PV3D team for this. I’ll sort this out although I’m waiting for the Flex team to reply with a stance on ViewStack’s for spark. Currently they don’t seem to have a spark replacement, and you can’t use spark containers in mx containers, so it would mean ViewStack’s are out the window (https://bugs.adobe.com/jira/browse/SDK-21782).

Hi Tink,

Thanks for your very rapid response!

Do you have any timeframe in mind for when the new Cube effects would be publically released?

Hi Royce.

This effect is no longer supported and has been replaced with Efflex. Publically Efflex doesn’t have a Cube effect but inside the SWC there is both a CubePapervision3D and Cube (Flash Player 10), but both have a couple of issues with scaling.

The problem of moving to a from fullscreen is definitely something they won’t manage effectively, but I will bear it in mind for future versions.

We are using the Cube effect on a viewstack and it’s working well. The only issue is that when switching to full screen, the cached bitmaps are from the pre-full screen resolution and therefore too small. As you switch to each child, the cache seems to get refreshed so it’s only an issue the first time you switch to a child after changing to full screen. When you exit full screen mode, the reverse happens – ie. the cached images are too big and get clipped.

Any suggestions how to resolve this? The hide effect is calling the cache effect identically to the cube example on your blog.

Thanks!
