Adobe should really built your classes into the CS packages. As3 is so damn convoluted sometimes.
Thanks for making the world easier!

This is a great website and a great help for designers and non-programmers like me. I hope this website won’t go offline the next 10 years…

Perfect. I’m going to give that a whirl. I actually just came back to have a look at your ASDocs and saw that you had replied. I appreciate the response.

BTW – if I ever end up winning the lottery or somehow acquiring loads of cash I’m giving you a $1 million right off the top. Your work is invaluable. Can’t thank you enough.

Matt, you’re welcome to listen for the INIT or COMPLETE event on the ImageLoader and then apply the custom scaleX/scaleY as that article recommended to help eliminate the 3D blur at z of 0, but I don’t think it would be appropriate to do that automatically inside ImageLoader because it could be confusing for developers. And most of the time when 3D properties are set, they’re not left at the default values of 0 anyway.

Hey Jack,

I came here to post a question and noticed your response above regarding the 3D properties. I’ve found this over at Flash and Math – http://www.flashandmath.com/flashcs4/blursol/index.html. If you just drop on image on the stage their solution works when trying a 3D rotation.

I’ve been playing around with different parameters of LoaderMax to try and achieve the same result, but I can’t seem to manage it. Would you know of any combination of parameter settings that might allow for this?

LoaderMax will not affect the image itself at all, but if you defined a width and/or height, it will scale the image to that size. Whenever you scale an image in Flash, you risk having blurry pixels (like in any program) because if the resolution isn’t adequate, things get fuzzy. For example, if you load a 100×100 image and scale it to fit into a 500×500 area, the pixels get 5 times bigger and get blurred a bit (since smoothing is turned on by default). You can set smoothing:false if you want. And make sure your image has adequate resolution. Oh, and if you apply any 3D properties (like rotationX, rotationY, rotationZ, or z), Flash applies a matrix3D which tends to make things a bit blurry, but that has nothing to do with LoaderMax.

This is amazing! I’ve used it on my two last projects. It works perfectly. I like the class activator and Vars chain the most brilliant idea! I love my code being clean, so strongly typed props are exactly what I desired.
