Sure, David, you can set lockRotation, lockScale, and/or lockPosition anytime to limit things as you please.

Is it possible to use this tool, but limit to only one of scale/rotate/move at a time?

i.e. to allow the user to specifically select one of those, and only one of those, for easier use in an environment which doesn’t support rollovers (like iOS/Android)

Transform Manager is great – I’ve just integrated it perfectly into a new iPad app.

Good work Jack!

Does it support the new Text Layout Framework?

var tlf:TLFTextField = new TLFTextField();

We really need this feature please reply asap (we are ready to buy this product).

Thank you for all your hard work, and have a great day.

Anders, that isn’t something TransformManager (or any class) could do for you automatically, but here are a few ideas:

1) Look into the 9-slice scaling feature of Flash. This might give you exactly what you need. You’d just build your Sprites/MovieClips with the correct 9-slice scaling and it would automatically adjust things as TransformManager scales the Sprite/MovieClip

2) Build your own customized Sprite class that scales things internally whenever its scaleX/scaleY/width/height properties are changed. You’d extend Sprite and override the scaleX, scaleY, width, and height setters and inject your customized code in there to counteract the effects of the new dimensions. For example, if scaleX was set to 0.5, you’d double the scale of your top and bottom frame borders internally, thus they’d appear to remain exactly the same thickness.

I hope that helps.

Looks really amazing, but I am having an issue with scaling on a current project we are doing, and unfortunately it doesn’t look like this lib is the answer to our prayers
We have some vector ‘frames’ like photoframes, and we would like people to be able to scale these non proportional, but wihtout having the frame become uneven in thickness.
Much like in the example above, if I scale one of the photos there, the white frame/edge/border around the photo gets stretched. Do you have any workaround for this?
Any built in property that I dont know about?

Cheers
Anders

Sure, Dan, you can use the exportFullXML() method to capture the state as XML and save it however you want (send it to your server, save it locally, or whatever). Then use applyFullXML() to revert to that state anytime. You’d just need to make sure the same objects are there and named appropriately (as they were when you did the exportFullXML()) for it to work.
