Essentials Flash Question

[Ninjadoodle]

Hi @enpu

I love the 'Essetials' Flash class - it's a really nice shortcut. I'm just wondering if there is a way to set the area of the flash?

This might be a bit elaborate for the plugin, but here is a case scenario ...

I have a square with an image and a dark border. I would like to flash the image without flashing the border as well.

I know I can do this by inserting the border as a child, but that causes other problems in my game.

Having an option of setting the Flash Area inside the sprite being flashed would be awesome.

No problem if this is a little too complex, just wanted to ask

I just added four new parameters to the flash function, which allows you to cut it from left, top, right and bottom:

// Cut flash 100px from left and 50px from right
sprite.flash(400, '#ff0000', null, 100, 0, 50, 0);

I have attached new version of the plugin here, could you test how it works before i publish it?

@enpu Oh, nice! Now I see - I just went straight to testing the 'cut flash' with my game and didn't even look at the example. Now, I know what the settings is for lol

Thanks again!!

Can I just say how impressive your support is @enpu  I mean it, fantastic to see.  Love the fact the engine is open source as well, the two coupled together give massive confidence IMO.  Sorry @Ninjadoodle, thread hijacking

@8bitdna - I completely agree, @enpu is a legend and Panda 2 absolutely rocks!
