The one drawback that I see is that, in my case, I have some pieces to assemble that have gradients, and these tend to make the edges kind of ragged.

As far as I know Haxe doesn't work with the Flash IDE. My understanding is that even when you're creating output that can run in the Flash Player with Haze, it's just another way to create a swf vs. ActionScript with the Flash compiler. I think Haxe does also output other formats, Amy Bhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/10902594300072091444noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8847948271397805362.post-84684353371609079902014-10-20T11:30:10.070-07:002014-10-20T11:30:10.070-07:00Definitely interested in this!

I just took on a very large CBT to WBT conversion project and am using Captivate with a lot of JavaScript for quizzing (this client's quiz requirements are very unique).

Bitmapfill has the benefit of working even if the background is larger than your source image, and can scroll by less than one pixel at a time, which creates a smoother effect. Its also computationally simpler if you want to scroll on two axes. <br />Check out the source code here:<br />http://plasticsturgeon.com/2010/06/Unknownhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/10969913884198867660noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8847948271397805362.post-33248063204211489952012-06-06T05:28:46.397-07:002012-06-06T05:28:46.397-07:00Note that my subdomain got nuked.
