This is very exciting! One question though..

ode.js brings high-performance access to the local machine resources, so that HTML5 apps can break out of the browser and get access to the file system, databases, server sockets, etc. Just like any other regular application. Check the wiki for more details.

Does this mean there may be a way to read and write save file/text files etc??

Twinsonian yes, i tested it can read and write files on our hard drives ;)

you can create an invisible object(container), pin the objects you want to scroll to the container, and change it's position on scrollbar dragging.

wildmedia i've made a .capx according your idea, but i wasn't sure how to make it to pin the objects to scroll to the cointer and change it's position on scrollbar dragging.
scroller.capx

Isn't there a masking webGL effect?

justifun it's not only about masking effect, i was looking a solution to create a scroller for sprite background, the problem is when the icons move to down, the icons are still visible outside of sprite background

I don't think they would help you if you installed 3rd party plugins, they prefer to open .capx without third party plugin

Good, the reason why i trust C2 because it helps me to save my time a lot to write the functions. I wouldn't write my HTML5 game from scratch because i was worried about garbage collector but C2 was solution.

Anyways, welcome!

Hi all, i'm making an UI element where you can scroll the icons inside of sprite or tile background.

Related to pic

<img src="http://www.knowdotnet.com/articles/ScrollingWindow.jpg" border="0" />

I'm using Blend effect "source atop" to icons to make them invisible outside of sprite window.

I couldn't make it, do you have good idea?

Thanks!

A sprite and an array in a container works for this. Here's an example:

http://dl.dropbox.com/u/5426011/examples16/mario_record.capx

Notice that only two events are used for the recording and playback. The rest are just standard game events.

This idea can be extended by adding some interpolation between recorded states to smooth out hiccups caused by garbage collecting or other programs running in the background.

R0J0hound your example made me wonder how is possible to port from CC to C2, i've ported some .cap to .capx but the results were not perfect.
The one what im trying to port was Braid's time rewind, isn't possible for HTML5?

If you do mask image, it keeps FPS so no need to consume big memory for CPU using force texture ;)
