hi again! thnx for the feedback!
I get an error: 1046: Type was not found or was not a compile-time constant: Matrix3D.
might just be me, any1 else getting this?
June 14th, 2009 at 6:02 pm
Yes, same here… do I need to add the papervision3D as well?
June 15th, 2009 at 5:43 am
I’m also getting the error: 1046: Type was not found or was not a compile-time constant: Matrix3D.
When I down grade to the previous version it goes away.
My 2 cents
June 15th, 2009 at 7:36 am
I am getting 1046 error too.
June 15th, 2009 at 10:04 am
This will either be from Papervision3D or some of the new Flash Player 10 stuff that I’ve built some effects for, are in the SWC, but I haven’t announced.
Hopefully if you don’t use those effects, you shouldn’t need the Matrix3D class.
June 15th, 2009 at 10:17 am
I’m using Slide and coverFlowPapervision3D and i’m getting it. I’ll try some other effects instead, and tell u if it works.
June 15th, 2009 at 10:26 am
CoverFlowPapervision3D will required Papervision3D
June 16th, 2009 at 12:49 pm
I tried downloading the papervision 3d swc and including it in the project but it is a no go. It appears as if the swc was compiled incorrectly.
June 16th, 2009 at 3:05 pm
I tried only using GridZoom and Slide but the same, how can I exclude the ones that need the matrix3D? I’d appreciate it if someone that figured it out can give a hint. Again thnx for your work Tink!
June 17th, 2009 at 6:51 am
Yep, still stuck too and back to 0.02 (with the background issue)
June 19th, 2009 at 1:49 am
Awesome effects.. love your work..
Just a heads up that your banner is not hyper linking to the correct destination – get a googleCode error when clicking on your top banner

I have a strange error with the examples:

Any idea about it?
Also had problems using it in Air applications:

thx

For those with the Matrix3D error I’ve uploaded a new SWC where I have removed Flex 4 / Flash Player 10, specific code.
Efflex_v0.03_fx3_fp9.swc
June 19th, 2009 at 1:48 pm
sebestenyb, you sure those errors are to do with Efflex?
June 21st, 2009 at 11:53 am
thnx so much man! works like a charm!
June 21st, 2009 at 9:41 pm
Hi Think.
Well, if not, then I’ve got no idea. I only thing I did is imported the project linked in the http://www.efflex.org/orgefflexmxviewstackeffects/pixelate/ example’s view source page, http://www.efflex.org/examples/org/efflex/mx/viewStackEffects/Pixelate/srcview/MXViewStackEffectExample.zip I had to remove the Efflex library project linkage from the project settings, and instead of that I put the Efflex 0.03 swc into the lib folder, set the player version to 10 to get rid of the matrix3D error, and after compiling, it raises that RTE about the ColorPicker. Do you use some special version of Flex SDK, or anything, that is not out-of-the-box? There must be something in the swc, that conflicts with the framework I use, the 3.3 – or 3.2 too, I tried that. But sadly I have no idea – but that would be great, if we could track down the problem. Thank you, sebi
June 21st, 2009 at 9:44 pm
Hm in the meantime I tried the Efflex_v0.03_fx3_fp9.swc version, and thats working. Maybe the other is created in Flash Builder 4?
June 22nd, 2009 at 10:33 am
Yep the other is Flex 4, Flash Player 10. Glad its working,
June 22nd, 2009 at 3:11 pm
possibly dumb question… can these effects be used in “normal” flash without using Flex ?
June 22nd, 2009 at 5:10 pm
No, they require the Flex framework.
July 2nd, 2009 at 1:03 pm
Hi Tink! thanks for this wonderful work.
I have downloaded the src from google code (svn) and some of the effects are not there (coverflow effect).
I have problem using your swc file because it conflicts with other libs of my projects and I get errors due to compiled libs with different SDKs.
Is it possible to get the right source code of 0.03 version ?
thanks again man
July 10th, 2009 at 8:52 pm
Hi Tink,
I apologize if the problem is just me, but I just can’t seem to solve this one error message.
I’ve added both of these swcs to the library build path: fflex_v0.03_fx3_fp9.swc
Papervision3D_2.0.883.swc
and all effects work just fine as long as they don’t require papervision.
But whenever I use an effect that requires papervision, I get this error during run time:
ArgumentError: Error #1063: Argument count mismatch on org.papervision3d.render::BasicRenderEngine/renderScene(). Expected 3, got 4.

Thanks for the work Tink

Hi,
I have noticed a rather big bug in the FadeZoom. If you change any of the properties:
scaleXTo
scaleYTo
scaleXFrom
scaleYFrom
alphaFrom
alphaTo
The effect behaves in very strange ways, popping/flashing around. You can recreate this with the explorer by moving any of those sliders.
Ideally I would like to reverse the effect on the previous child, so it fades out (like quitting an app on the iPhone).
Thanks
Rob
July 13th, 2009 at 2:01 pm
@ Paul
Efflex current uses the following version of Papervision
Public Alpha 2.0 – Great White
24.03.08
@ Rob
I’ve done some testing here and I believe this is down to incorrect values being used in the explorer. All values should be in between 0 and 1. Using these you should be able to achieve the effect you after.
July 27th, 2009 at 7:40 pm
We are considering incorporating Efflex into a flex version of our website. I’m a bit concerned about the download size. Is it possible to get an swc with a stripped down set of features to minimize the download size? Or maybe a “core” edition with the base framework and additional swc files for individual effects?
July 27th, 2009 at 11:53 pm
Hi Brian
When you export a SWF only the classes that are referenced in the file are included in the SWF itself. I’m pretty sure this is still the case when using SWC’s.
Alternatively you could checkout the source from the SVN.
Be interested to see where you using it.
July 29th, 2009 at 5:55 pm
when the effect is applied between two canvases why the intermidiatry color
is white ,
is there a way to make it trasperent where only the css applied color will be visible ?
July 29th, 2009 at 6:00 pm
Hi din
What effect are you using? Can you upload a sample of what your trying to do with source enabled?
August 1st, 2009 at 1:45 pm
Hi,
i want to use efflex with dynamic components added in a viewStack.
can somme help

August 7th, 2009 at 9:32 pm
I just checked out the code from http://efflex.googlecode.com/svn/trunk
and faced some simple problems:
1) org.efflex.mx.viewStackEffects.effectClasses.FlipPapervision3DInstance and
org.efflex.mx.viewStackEffects.effectClasses.CubePapervision3DInstance
at line27 have
import ws.tink.utils.MathUtil;
which is not present, I think it should be:
import org.efflex.utils.MathUtil;
2) org.efflex.mx.viewStackEffects.effectClasses.Papervision3DEffectInstance at row 88:
Papervision3D.VERBOSE = false;
and at row 134
_renderer.renderScene( _scene, _camera, _viewport, true );
are giving errors (I have Papervision3D_2.0.883.swc). I removed row 88 and removed the last parameter at 134, worked fine, but there might be a better workaround.
Thanks for the awesome collection of effects!
August 25th, 2009 at 4:48 pm
If I am compiling an app with Flash Builder 4 and Flex 4, can I use the MX viewStackEffects with Halo based components.
I’m trying to use the List Effect with a component that extends HBox.
For some reason I keep getting the following errors:
1120: Access of undefined property hideEffect.
1120: Access of undefined property showEffect.
August 25th, 2009 at 5:19 pm
@ Adam
Should work fine. Can you mock up a quick example with ‘view source’ enabled so I can take a look at it.
September 2nd, 2009 at 7:51 pm
Are there any install and usage documentation anywhere in a complete step by step process? Can someone email me if they have any or a link to installing and using this?
September 21st, 2009 at 2:38 pm
Yeah that sounds even more complicated as I do not have the external projects. Basically I am trying to create a new swc file because the one they have offered for download does not have some of the effects such as
FlipPapervision3DTile and some others listed in http://www.efflex.org/EfflexExplorer.html
why is that? Can someone produce a new swc for flex 3 ?
thanks for your help!,

I believe at least the Efflex_v0.03_fx3_fp9.swc release is affected by the
memory leak described here:
http://sebleedelisle.com/2008/11/memory-leaks-in-papervision3d-patched-up/
Profiling my application which uses CubePapervision3D seems to point to
org.papervision3d.materials.BitmapMaterial having a Dictionary with a
key/element which reference the same object
November 5th, 2009 at 5:30 pm
Would it be possible to update the releases to fix the memory leak? If I can be of assistance in providing an example and more info, let me know.
I checked out the source to try to fix myself, but I am unsure of the version of the dependencies. Using recent versions of Papervision, Flint and Tink have some incompatibilities. Addressing the incompatibilities with quick, obvious fixes caused changes in the effects.
If it isn’t already specified somewhere that I am missing it, it might be helpful to indicate the dependencies in the Efflex project.
November 20th, 2009 at 2:36 am
Hello, Tink.
I download the Efflex_v0.03_fx3_fp9.swc and combined it into my project. but when I used the flint2D effect, clicked the button and hoped to change the view as the sample, but the fact is the view that did not change as your sample. and no error when the app compiled. I want to know how to use the Efflex_v0.03_fx3_fp9.swc’s all effects. could you sent me a sample demo code?
thank you for your help.
Nic
November 20th, 2009 at 10:10 am
I would suggest you use the source not the SWC for the time being.
November 23rd, 2009 at 1:20 am
ok, thank you very much.
November 25th, 2009 at 1:03 am
Hej Tink:
You suggest use the source code but, your source code is not complete, the org.efflex.mx.viewStackEffects.effectClasses.FlipAway3DInstance is missing.
Any idea???
Thanks in advance;
November 25th, 2009 at 8:10 am
Should be in there now mate.
November 25th, 2009 at 9:25 pm
Thanks Tink, you are great!!!
November 27th, 2009 at 2:32 am
hi, Tink
the method called redrawBitmapDataTiles which is not in the package efflex\utils\TileUtil.as. and some effects will use this method.
hope for your help. thank you!
December 11th, 2009 at 10:52 am
Hello Tink,
First your job is very nice
!
Can I found somewhere the source code of the flex 3 version because my boss want me to have to sources and not only the swc. And I can’t move to Flex 4.
Thanks for the good ideas.
December 11th, 2009 at 11:04 am

December 14th, 2009 at 1:17 pm
Thanks Tink
But
The only project that I found in the repository is the flex 4 version.
I have a Flex 3.0 version.
Can you help me please because I really want to use your lib.
Thanks in advance.

I’m now hitting some Away3d issues around Vector type:
Any ideas anyone ?
Hopefully this is the final hurdle!
(I’m trying to use the CubeAway3D effect)
Type was not found or was not a compile-time constant: Vector. MXViewStackEffectExample/src/away3d/core/render AbstractRenderSession.as line 653

Efflex currently uses version 2.3.6.
You fancy taking up the challenge of making Efflex easier to use for others by compiling a new SWC?
February 9th, 2010 at 5:31 pm
Last Issue with Away3d RESOLVED.
Followed the instructions at:
http://opensource.adobe.com/wiki/display/flexsdk/Targeting+Flash+Player+10
All Efflex I’ve tried so far are working.
February 9th, 2010 at 6:08 pm
The effects that use Away3D do not require Flash Player 10.
The only reason I can see for this is that you have d/l a version of Away3D that requires FP10. If you get version 2.3.6. the effect will run in FP9.
February 9th, 2010 at 9:56 pm
Tink:
>>You fancy taking up the challenge of making Efflex easier to use for >>others by compiling a new SWC?
I’m so pleased with the efflex effects now that honestly I would be glad to help but I’m guessing by that fact that this hasn’t been done yet that it might be beyond my current abililty to get it right
March 6th, 2010 at 2:45 pm
Hi Tink!
Efflex is excellent, but I have a problem when using Google Maps API, the error occurs Sandbox (Security Error: Bitmap.draw). He cannot draw the Google Maps for lack of access policy. This can be solved? Have you seen this problem before?
Thank you!
