Starling v2 & the dbswf format

lollibomb

The main reason for me to use DragonBones is the excellent dbswf format. So far I could not run a starling v2 app that parses a dbswf file created by the designpanel. Did anybody succeed to do this? If so, how?

To clarify, I've been working on a project with Starling 1.7 & DragonBones 3.1 for a while now. After I've cleaned up the code to upgrade to Starling v2 I encountered major problems (initial content not found error) that seem to be caused by parsing a dbswf file.

OK, we will add dbswf support into AS Library in future.

I too, am looking to have support for DBSWF in Starling 2/Dragon Bones 4.5

I've been working the past couple days to resolve the issue and succeeded in getting DBSWF to load after I modified BaseFactory.as to include a LoaderContext with allowCodeImport = true.

However, the DBSWF animations do not render correctly. The reason is that the data format exported via the DesignPanel is 2.3, and it needs to be 4.5. I can load the DBSWF into Dragon Bones pro and export a valid 4.5 JSON, but not a v4.5 DBSWF.

How would I go about generating a DBSWF that supports the new 4.5 data format?

Correction - when I import a DBSWF into Dragon Bones Pro, it will display correctly. But when I export that animation, the resultant file maintains as a v2.3 and will not work in Dragon Bones 4.5.

Best solution would be to have an update to Flash Design panel that exports DBSWF into the 4.5 data format.

Second best solution is a correction in how the DataParser handles v2.3 data. Some of that code is around 357-67 in DataParser (Commenting this out gets the knight to render/move correctly) but he still has issues with his attack. Also, the Knight cannot upgrade his weapons using the 2.3 data model exported form DBSWF.

The latest AS library have support load dbswf data format.

DBPro still cannot export dbswf dataformat. It is pretty hard that we haven't figure out. Anyone can help? Is there any opensource library that can help us to generate a swf dataformat?

+1 for the dbswf support, that was the best feature of DB.

Anyone can offer a code sample of how to load such dbswf into starling 2.x ?

@xyrer did you figure that one out?

xyrer

no, it seems there is no support and the only way is exporting json and one single tilesheet.

xyrer Can you share your code?
