Draggable and ThrowProps Plugin for AS3

[Bach 0 Likes (Newbie)]

Hi guys,

 

I can't seem to find Draggable & ThrowProps plugin for AS3?

http://www.greensock.com/draggable/

 

Is that because there's another alternative method somewhere in the AS3 library that gets that wheel spin effect? 

 

Thanks

Sorry, Draggable is HTML5/JS only. However, all the fancy stuff is done with ThrowPropsPlugin which is available in AS3, and it even has a relatively new track() feature that lets you track the velocity of any property of any object, so it should make things a lot easier for you to wire up. But yes, you'd need to wire it up yourself. 

 

Frankly, Draggable was born simply as a way to demonstrate ThrowPropsPlugin - it wasn't intended to be an official GreenSock product but as people saw it and expressed an interest in having a tool like that in HTML5, it grew and became something much more mature that could do all sorts of things. But AS3 is a very different beast when it comes to the underlying architecture, events, touch interaction, etc. There wasn't nearly as much demand from the Flash customers, and we have limited time/resources so it isn't something we rebuilt in Flash. But again, the key component here is ThrowPropsPlugin which is available, so you can use that for sure.

Thanks Jack for the prompt and detailed response.

I will follow your advice and implement the feature.
