SceneGen

A visual scene generator that uses bitmaps to identify where objects of different types should be.

##Usage Create a Generator in your main, or in any other scene for that matter. You will need to set the transparentColor to identify the background, so that this color is ignored.

Then, you can associate String's that identifies a specific type. By calling the function generateScene, this will result in a collection of Object's that can be matched with the associated string, and then you can create your visual objects accordingly. Whenever you need to move an object, just change it in the bitmap image you pass into the Generator on construction.

Here is an example:

private function openflTest()
{
	var gen = new Generator("img/Test.png");
	gen.associations.set(0x007800, "SimpleButton");
	gen.transparentColor = 0xFFFFFF;
	
	var objs = gen.generateScene();
	
	for (i in 0...objs.length)
	{
		index = i;
		var cl = objs[i];
		if (cl.name == "SimpleButton")
		{
			setSimpleButton(cl);
		}
	}
}

private function setSimpleButton(obj:Object)
{
	var casted = new SimpleButton();
	casted.x = obj.x;
	casted.y = obj.y;
	casted.upState = new Bitmap(Assets.getBitmapData("img/ButtonUp.png"));
	casted.overState = new Bitmap(Assets.getBitmapData("img/ButtonOver.png"));
	casted.downState = new Bitmap(Assets.getBitmapData("img/ButtonDown.png"));
	addChild(casted);
}

TODO

Currently, it is not very smart. Because of it's very simple algorithm, it does not take into account the bounds of rectangles within a bitmap image. This will be resolved ASAP.
