If the SWF library supports Sound, that would be great

This is definitely worth trying

Everyone is using the SWF library, and they all hope that the SWF library can continuously improve its functionality and performance

The SWF library is a great feature that allows users to use Adobe Animation (Adobe Flash) to create animations

785597448 · July 1, 2025, 2:51pm

I firmly believe that most people, like me, use Adobe Animation (Adobe Flash) to create animations. The SWF library can use our animations on any platform, which is great

I have been paying attention to the SWF library and hope that it can add more functional support and improve performance. Thank you

I lean on Starling when dealing with animations, as it’s geared towards handling spritesheets. In this way, you can export your animations from anywhere (including Adobe Animate) as image sequences (with alpha). These are converted to optimised spritesheets using something like TexturePacker 6.0.1 (detailed here).

In Starling, these sequences are placed in a Starling MovieClip. These can then have sound/s attached to them at specified frames, using the movieClip.setFrameSound() method.

See this example:

samples/demo/src/scenes/MovieScene.hx

          private var _movie:MovieClip;
          
          public function new()
          {
              super();
              var frames:Vector<Texture> = Game.assets.getTextures("flight");
              _movie = new MovieClip(frames, 15);
              
              // add sounds
              var stepSound:Sound = Game.assets.getSound("wing_flap");
              _movie.setFrameSound(2, stepSound);
              
              // move the clip to the center and add it to the stage
              _movie.x = Constants.CenterX - Std.int(_movie.width / 2);
              _movie.y = Constants.CenterY - Std.int(_movie.height / 2);
              addChild(_movie);
              
              // like any animation, the movie needs to be added to the juggler!
              // this is the recommended way to do that.
              addEventListener(Event.ADDED_TO_STAGE, onAddedToStage);
              addEventListener(Event.REMOVED_FROM_STAGE, onRemovedFromStage);

The advantage Starling with spritesheets has over say an SWF asset, is that it’s GPU optimised, and incredibly performant.

Does Sterling support luminous filters?

Bink · July 30, 2025, 2:41am

Here’s Starling’s collection of filters:

And an example file:

          import starling.display.Image;
          import starling.events.Event;
          import starling.filters.BlurFilter;
          import starling.filters.ColorMatrixFilter;

          import starling.filters.DropShadowFilter;
          import starling.filters.FilterChain;

          import utils.MenuButton;
          
          @:keep class FilterScene extends Scene
          {
              private var _button:Button;
              private var _image:Image;
