Acanvas Dartbook is aPage Flip Book component ported from Flex to ActionScript to Dart.
- Pageflip effect (Captain Obvious).
- Runs in any browser, on any device.
- File size just 76KB gzipped.
- Hardback option for every page, as well as a hardcover option for the containing book, automatically making the first and last pages hardback.
- Functionality for tearing pages out of the containing book.
- Methods allowing automatically flipping through the pages of a book ( gotopage() ).
- Customizable easing, auto-pageflip duration, and size for the hit-regions (the page-corners whereby a page can be flipped).
- Distortion (instead of skewing) when flipping hardback pages.
- A variety of events that the book class dispatches, making customization alot simpler.
- Transparency support for pages.
- Live-bitmapping functionality for playing animation uninterrupted during pageflips.
- Locking functionality to keep certain pages from being flipped.
- The Acanvas Dartbook Demo.
- The best way to learn how to use Acanvas Spring and Acanvas Framework by generating a project with Acanvas Generator.
- Partial animation glitch when flipping the pages backwards via tap/click
- Hard pages distorting at the bottom due to an issue with StageXL bitmapfill position data
- Scaling and touch behaviour suboptimal on some mobile devices
- The Dart team For a great language and JS transpiler
- Bernhard Pichler For creating the StageXL Dart package, which provides the same display list API you may have used in Flash for many years. Site https://github.com/bp74/StageXL/
- Ruben Swieringa For making the original FlexBook component and releasing it to the public.
- Didier Brun For making his pageflip rendering class (com.foxaweb.pageflip.PageFlip) Site: http://www.foxaweb.com
- Thomas Pfeiffer (aka Kiroukou) For letting Ruben Swieringa use his distortion class (org.flashsandy.display.DistortImage) Site: http://www.flashsandy.org
- the Factor.e For allowing Ruben Swieringa to publish the demo and the source-code. Site: http://www.tfe.nl
- Maikel Sibbald For helping Ruben Swieringa with (among a lot of things) thinking out the structure of this component. He also made a usage-example of Didier's pageflip class http://labs.flexcoders.nl/?p=33 which he used as reference in the early days of the Book class. Site: http://labs.flexcoders.nl
- Theo Aartsma (aka Sumeco) For letting Ruben Swieringa use his artwork in the Book demo. Site: http://www.sumeco.net
DartBook is a pretty direct port of FlexBook, and came to life like this:
- Refactoring FlexBook from Flex to pure ActionScript
- Writing Acanvas ActionScript Converter.
- Making lots of tweaks to account for differences in the APIs
