Please! a better select shape for gradients and textures

Post by Víctor Paredes »

Hi dear scriptes. I'm working on AS 6.1 an the new controls for animate gradients and textures are great, but they definitively need some improvement.

I don't know if any of you have played with it yet (if not, you should, it's a great tool to make a lot of things), but here I have some examples of a project I'm working.

Here are the files if you want to take a look
Ballena y muerto.zip (mediafire)


This is what I think can improve a lot the tool

- Select and move several textures at the same time
- Posibility of scale without rotate and rotate without scale, something with control, alt or shift (with the current tool you must trust on your pulse to just scale or just rotate)
- On tool propieties text boxes for angles, scale and position, to have a more precise control.
- Posibility to attach a texture controler to a bone (I don't know if it can be done on the actuall AS without some embeded script, but that would be great), so you can use the bone to move, scale and rotate the texture. Maybe could be a combo on select shape tool propieties with all the named bones to select which one you want for the selected controller.
- A way to scale a texture on X or Y independently would be cool to.

Well, that's all I can think right now. I know the last two points maybe can't be made on current AS, I doubt there be much access to this new gradients/texture controllers. But I'm pretty sure that the other points shouldn't be too hard to apply.

Sorry, I know it's a big request, but that would make AS new feature so much better for all.
Please, tell me what you think

Thank you.
