OpenFl Animate Atlas Player

Player for Adobe Animate Atlas export format based on the Starling version.

Usage

Loads an atlas

	public function new() {}
		var assets:AssetManager = new AssetManager();
		// target the folder that contains the Animation.json, spritemap.json and spritemap.png
		assets.enqueue("assets/MyAtlas"); 
		assets.loadQueue(start);
	}

• you can replace Animation.json by a zip version : Animation.zip
• the Atlas folder needs to be in an assets folder that is embed with the project (loaded resources in the next version)
• If you want several animations in the same Atlas, in Animate, create a MovieClip that contains MovieClips you want to add to the Atlas.
• A MovieClip is considered as an Animation if its timeline has 2 frames minimum
• The atlas (MyAtlas) is the name of the MovieClip container

Launch an animation

	private function start(assetsMgr:AssetManager):Void {
	
		var myAnimation:Animation = assetsMgr.createAnimation("player_run");
		addChild(myAnimation);
	}

• The name of the animation (player_run) is the name of the MovieClip Atlas or its children
• classic MovieClip methods are availables (play, stop, gotoAndPlay, gotoAndStop, nextFrame...) and properties (currentFrame, totalFrames...)

Dynamic change in an animation

You can dynamically attach an element in the animation, like swaping a weapon in the hand of the player with an other.

• The MovieClip that will contains the new asset has to be in a layer prefixed by an asterisk.

• You can have several layers with the same name in differents MovieClips of the Animation and or on different layers.

    var anItem:AnItem = new AnItem(); // Can be any DisplayObject including Animations
    myAnimation.addItem("*aTag",anItem);
  

• You can remove the attached item

    myAnimation.removeItem("*aTag");
