Feature Request for HTML5 exporter,

[DracisLooby]

Can we get an option to make HTML5 canvas backdrops transparent, so that other mmf2/non-mmf2 canvases might be layered or stacked?

Just working on some side projects, and realized it would be nice to have, as well as mixing with JQuery.


As another, possibly more important request, can we get the ability to call on functions during/within the MFF2 run time?,

Maybe an object that listens for function calls, so you can call on your html5 app from outside java, as well as input variables, and execute events when variables change, or just general calls.

Just my 2 cents on the matter.

Oh, on last thing, an easier, less hacky way to resize frames to the screen window without scaling the contents, like actually changing the frame size based on CSS. That might be cool.

I'm working on something kinda neat, I will post here when its presentable.

Lacking an obvious edit button, must double-post;

I misspoke and referred to Javascript as Java, I apologize if it caused any confusion.
Late night posting, not even once.

Transparent backdrop : I have tried, it does not work (the sprites are not erased). So no.
Function call : yes, I wanted to do that. When I have time.

I definitely see the sprites not erasing properly when I hack about, but couldn't you you but a clear canvas call after ever screen draw, so canvas is cleared, then next sprite is redrawn? It might be more expensive, but then it would be a toggle.

I could see the issue arising that It can't clear between redraws fast enough to not be flickering. Hmm. Could I ask what js file, and around what line the main draw is done, so I might be able to hack it myself?

As for function calling, that would be the primary goal, its much more useful then transparency. Good work, its excellent so far!

This is what I already do. But if I clear with an alpha of 0 (to make it transparent), the sprites are not erased.

That's an odd behavior, is it just the method of rendering the exporter uses?

[Francois]

Yes
