Loading sprites exported from Flash?

[Marzullo]

Hello?

What is the best way to export sprites from Flash and load them into pixi.js?

I refer to this tutorial:

pixi.js data format is not there, i wonder if there was any workaround or I should choose another approach.

I've tons of sprites to export from flash.

JSON (not json-array) works out of the box, and you can reference the frames directly by id name

Note though that Flash appends a bunch of "0000"s to the names. So if your movie clip is "ball" in the json it'll be "ball0000". Personally I just delete that 0000 from the json

By the way - if you're like me, coming to PIXI from flash and trying to port some stuff over - this workflow is fantastic.

Animate CC still allows some actionscript on the timeline, so you can write a few snippets to export configuration data to pass to pixi (x,y,width,height for the *sprites*).

That's a game-logic kind of thing (configuration json, not texture atlas json), but I found it to be super awesome that I could use Flash as like a design stage, and then export a texture atlas and configuration data which PIXI uses to lay stuff out - and it matches 1:1

Yes yes, that's exactly where I was getting to.
