I’ve just updated the Effect Explorer (you may need to delete you cache).

If we use the current sliced cube code within the cube effect that you made earlier, surely this will work, right? Maybe we just need to remove the inspectable properties of direction and replace them with the sliced cube transform matrix?
I think I will try this and get back to you, if it works, which I think it will, then I will post the code somewhere or email it to you and you can add it to the library
Alright, I will give it a shot today and let you know how it is going
The example posted is a container not an effect. The view itself has all the code in to handle the transition. This wouldn’t mean that you would be able to change the effect at a later point. I’m also not sure whether it would be able to handle the index changing mid transition as the buttons seem to become disabled.
The point of viewStackEffects in Efflex is that they let you use a standard ViewStack container and then apply different effects to their children. This means that the effect and view are totally separate enabling you to change the effect to something totally different.
Theres still a slight bug when the effect is interrupted which i’ll look at over the coming week or so. Thanks to Rob Bateman for his help with this one, took me a couple of days (no source as yet though)
Just checking back with you to see how things are going on your side with the additional 3d tile effects form above, don’t want to be a pest or anything, just want to stay up to date with you
Hi Tink,
Just saw and greatly enjoyed your presentation very much – QUESTION: on GridZoom or any of the other effects – is there any way to have a “default” state which shows all children? Any way to do this with just the swc file?
Example: GridZoom – when you change from list item to list item, it shows a quick zoomed out view of all children and then zooms back in to each one –
how would have a default that would show an “overview” mode which shows all zoomed out children that I could then come back to?
Thanks a lot,

This isn’t possible as Efflex is only show during transitions, at all other times you see the ViewStack.
I did think about building something that had this functionality but never started. It would require a custom kind of ViewStack that showed all children when no index was selected (i.e. -1), and a special effect that knew to play a different effect when going to of from the selectedIndex -1.
I tried to check the source code of these exaples using left button click and that option wasn’t available. Also checking your examples at the tour de flex the source code section appears as a 404 error.
Is there any way to see at least one example of any of the nice and stunning viewStackEffects?
Thank you very much and thanks for sharing this amazing work!
I’ve contacted Greg at Adobe about the examples being broken in Tour de Flex and provided him correct links but they don’t ever get updated. Annoying, but not much else I can do to be honest.
Ok, awesome, thank you so much.
Just saw the source code option on those examples.
I was trying to see the code within the efflex explorer, where seemly that option ain’t available.
Hi, It seems that all source code links has been removed. Could you enable them or point me to a example on how to use your excellent work. I have downloaded the swc, but I need a bit introduction on how to use the lib.
Thanks.
Hi
I can’t seem to get this to work when I use the Runtime Shared Library ie I have to select “merged into code” in FlexBuilder . I am using the efflex_v0.03_fx3_fp9 swc. Anyone else have this problem?

Hi Tink
Thanks a million for the tile3D effect, it looks and works great.
Ummm, I came across another very cool pv3d effect on pv3d and was wondering if and when you have time to put this one as part of our effects library.
Sliced cube is what it is and it is very very cool
here is the link with source code etc
http://blog.flexcommunity.net/?p=146 (blog entry and some info)
http://blog.flexcommunity.net/lab/ppv3dGallery_slicedCube/ (actual app with source code)
Maybe when you have time you can work your magic as usual and come up with something spectacular
Thanks for all the hard work so far, it is much appreciated
bye for now

Thanks Al
I’ll look into adding a CubePapervision3DTile, CubeAway3DTile, and Flash 10 CubeTile when I get a bit of time.

Hi tink
I have looked at this and if you ask me..
It is absolutely perfect!!! I cannot quite see what the bug is that you are talking about, but for me it looks perfect.
Cannot wait for the source, please..
Thanks mate!!

Hi Tink
How are things going? Had a good week?

Chat to you later then

Coming along, though it chops/glitches a lot if I click around too fast.

could you please release some code samples about using the viewstate effects?
thx

@Daniel
Right click on the examples found on this blog and select ‘View Source’.

Hi Tink, Hi Lance
Any predicted date on the source code for the sliced cube effect from above?
Keep well guys and keep up the amazing work

Hi David
Each example has source enabled using eft click.

Ah bugger.
For now you can view the src for examples by using
http://www.efflex.org/examples + ( package with ‘.’ replaced with ‘/’ ) + ( the class name ) + /srcview/
so the src for the example TileMask can be found at
http://www.efflex.org/examples/org/efflex/mx/viewStackEffects/TileMask/srcview/
