Help With Copying Texture Position

Post by DK »

Hi.
I am trying to copy a texture effect from a shape in one open AS file (V10) to another shape in a seperate file also open in the new Tabs at the top. I cannot copy the texture positioning parameters from one shape to another. Can anyone help? Is this something AS cannot do as I have had this trouble before or Is it something I am missing?

Cheers

Copying between open files is pretty limited right now. Mostly just vectors I think.

Interesting Wes... I think smart bones have the ability to map the texture position but you can't copy/paste a texture position into a shape? The data exists there in Lua world somewhere :)
I suggest an AS improvement... x,y readout panel for texture. Pretty simple but handy stuff.

Yeah, currently we can only accomplish this by copy/paste the shape that already has some effect handle keyframes. IOW, all or nothing, with no real way to edit one and apply to the other. It should be possible to expose the underlying coordinates to the tool options bar, but I think you would need to offset them to the different shapes center or something.

Not doing much scripting right now, but maybe someone else will bite. Either way, it would make a good feature request.
