RE: [GD-General] Scaling GUI graphics

[Corrinne Y. <cor...@el...>]

We do all our front-end / HUD stuff in Flash, although our scripting
support is limited to Flash 4, and there's a couple of rendering things
we
don't do, either for performance, or 'bang for buck' issues. IIRC some
of
our game logic was in it for a while (I certainly recall having to read
state changes back out of the flash interface class).

We're doing this for authoring reasons, rather than re-sizing issues
though. Closest we get to resolution changes are supporting 4:3 / 16:9
and
PAL / NTSC.

-- This sounds kind of interesting. Do you read the raw Flash 4 file
output and implement the entire Flash 4 API?

-- Is Flash 4 a text or binary file format? I apologize for being a
Flash neophyte. Do you parse the text or the binary, and where does one
find a script and API reference to Flash 4 (if one has never used it
before)?

-- It really depends how thick the API is whether it may be too heavy
weight in our case to implement as a GUI displayer.

-- Thank you for your help.
