Sprite Sheet/Tile Sheet

[Tivoilos]

Is it possible to use a Sprite Sheet or a Tile Sheet with Flash an not have to put every single Frame into the Stage Frame thingy??

Meaning I can use a sheet an do this



|Walk 1|Walk 2|Walk 3|Walk 4|Attack 1|Attack 2|Sit 1|Sit 2|Spell 1|Spell 2|

An when programming use the X Y values of the Frame area like

Walk 1= 0, 0 Walk 2=0, 1 Walk 3=0, 2 etc etc

Any help will make me very happy ^_^

Depending of what version of flash your using you can use the Bitmap and BitmapData Classes

BitmapData has the 'Draw' function which can:

Draw the entire display object (MovieClip, Shape, Graphic, Bitmap)

or

Draw a certain section of it using its Rectangle Parameter

What i did before. I had it so each of my characters animation frames were line left to right, and each of their actions top to bottom

Action 1 Frame 1 - Action 1 Frame 2 -Action 1 Frame 3
Action 2 Frame 1 - Action 2 Frame 2 -Action 2 Frame 3
Action 3 Frame 1 - Action 3 Frame 2 -Action 3 Frame 3
etc

Then i used the bitmapData class to cut and draw my desired rectangle area out of that sprite sheet

You can break each action down into its own mc

Then put all the mc's on the characters mc, and label each frame after them

Then you could use the code to show them.

this.gotoAndStop(Action)
