Constructor Detail
RenderSupport()Constructor
public function RenderSupport()

Creates a new RenderSupport object with an empty matrix stack.

Method Detail
applyBlendMode()method
public function applyBlendMode(premultipliedAlpha:Boolean):void

Activates the current blend mode on the active rendering context.

Parameters

premultipliedAlpha:Boolean

applyClipRect()method 
public function applyClipRect():void

Updates the context3D scissor rectangle using the current clipping rectangle. This method is called automatically when either the render target, the projection matrix, or the clipping rectangle changes.

assembleAgal()method 
public static function assembleAgal(vertexShader:String, fragmentShader:String, resultProgram:Program3D = null):Program3D

Assembles fragment- and vertex-shaders, passed as Strings, to a Program3D. If you pass a 'resultProgram', it will be uploaded to that program; otherwise, a new program will be created on the current Stage3D context.

Parameters

vertexShader:String
 
fragmentShader:String
 
resultProgram:Program3D (default = null)

Returns
Program3D
batchQuad()method 
public function batchQuad(quad:Quad, parentAlpha:Number, texture:Texture = null, smoothing:String = null):void

Adds a quad to the current batch of unrendered quads. If there is a state change, all previous quads are rendered at once, and the batch is reset.

Parameters

quad:Quad
 
parentAlpha:Number
 
texture:Texture (default = null)
 
smoothing:String (default = null)

batchQuadBatch()method 
public function batchQuadBatch(quadBatch:QuadBatch, parentAlpha:Number):void

Adds a batch of quads to the current batch of unrendered quads. If there is a state change, all previous quads are rendered at once.

Note that copying the contents of the QuadBatch to the current "cumulative" batch takes some time. If the batch consists of more than just a few quads, you may be better off calling the "render(Custom)" method on the batch instead. Otherwise, the additional CPU effort will be more expensive than what you save by avoiding the draw call. (Rule of thumb: no more than 16-20 quads.)

Parameters

quadBatch:QuadBatch
 
parentAlpha:Number

clear()method 
public function clear(rgb:uint = 0, alpha:Number = 0.0):void

Clears the render context with a certain color and alpha value.

Parameters

rgb:uint (default = 0)
 
alpha:Number (default = 0.0)

clear()method 
public static function clear(rgb:uint = 0, alpha:Number = 0.0):void

Clears the render context with a certain color and alpha value.

Parameters

rgb:uint (default = 0)
 
alpha:Number (default = 0.0)

dispose()method 
public function dispose():void

Disposes all quad batches.

finishQuadBatch()method 
public function finishQuadBatch():void

Renders the current quad batch and resets it.

getTextureLookupFlags()method 
public static function getTextureLookupFlags(format:String, mipMapping:Boolean, repeat:Boolean = false, smoothing:String = bilinear):String

Returns the flags that are required for AGAL texture lookup, including the '<' and '>' delimiters.

Parameters

format:String
 
mipMapping:Boolean
 
repeat:Boolean (default = false)
 
smoothing:String (default = bilinear)

Returns
String
loadIdentity()method 
public function loadIdentity():void

Changes the modelview matrix to the identity matrix.

nextFrame()method 
public function nextFrame():void

Resets matrix stack, blend mode, quad batch index, and draw count.

popClipRect()method 
public function popClipRect():void

Restores the clipping rectangle that was last pushed to the stack.

popMask()method 
public function popMask():void

Redraws the most recently pushed mask into the stencil buffer, decrementing the buffer on each used pixel. This effectively removes the object from the stencil buffer, restoring the previous state. The stencil reference value will be decremented.

popMatrix()method 
public function popMatrix():void

Restores the modelview matrix that was last pushed to the stack.

popMatrix3D()method 
public function popMatrix3D():void

Restores the 3D modelview matrix that was last pushed to the stack.

prependMatrix()method 
public function prependMatrix(matrix:Matrix):void

Prepends a matrix to the modelview matrix by multiplying it with another matrix.

Parameters

matrix:Matrix

pushClipRect()method 
public function pushClipRect(rectangle:Rectangle, intersectWithCurrent:Boolean = true):Rectangle

The clipping rectangle can be used to limit rendering in the current render target to a certain area. This method expects the rectangle in stage coordinates. Internally, it uses the 'scissorRectangle' of stage3D, which works with pixel coordinates. Per default, any pushed rectangle is intersected with the previous rectangle; the method returns that intersection.

Parameters

rectangle:Rectangle
 
intersectWithCurrent:Boolean (default = true)

Returns
Rectangle
pushMask()method 
public function pushMask(mask:DisplayObject):void

Draws a display object into the stencil buffer, incrementing the buffer on each used pixel. The stencil reference value is incremented as well; thus, any subsequent stencil tests outside of this area will fail.

If 'mask' is part of the display list, it will be drawn at its conventional stage coordinates. Otherwise, it will be drawn with the current modelview matrix.

Parameters

mask:DisplayObject

pushMatrix()method 
public function pushMatrix():void

Pushes the current modelview matrix to a stack from which it can be restored later.

pushMatrix3D()method 
public function pushMatrix3D():void

Pushes the current 3D modelview matrix to a stack from which it can be restored later.

raiseDrawCount()method

Parameters

value:uint (default = 1)

resetMatrix()method 
public function resetMatrix():void

Empties the matrix stack, resets the modelview matrix to the identity matrix.

rotateMatrix()method 
public function rotateMatrix(angle:Number):void

Prepends a rotation (angle in radians) to the modelview matrix.

Parameters

setOrthographicProjection()method 
public function setOrthographicProjection(x:Number, y:Number, width:Number, height:Number):void
Deprecated: Please Use setProjectionMatrix

Sets up the projection matrix for ortographic 2D rendering.

Parameters

y:Number
 
width:Number
 
height:Number

setProjectionMatrix()method 
public function setProjectionMatrix(x:Number, y:Number, width:Number, height:Number, stageWidth:Number = 0, stageHeight:Number = 0, cameraPos:Vector3D = null):void

Sets up the projection matrices for 2D and 3D rendering.

The first 4 parameters define which area of the stage you want to view. The camera will 'zoom' to exactly this region. The perspective in which you're looking at the stage is determined by the final 3 parameters.

The stage is always on the rectangle that is spawned up between x- and y-axis (with the given size). All objects that are exactly on that rectangle (z equals zero) will be rendered in their true size, without any distortion.

Parameters

x:Number
 
y:Number
 
width:Number
 
height:Number
 
stageWidth:Number (default = 0)
 
stageHeight:Number (default = 0)
 
cameraPos:Vector3D (default = null)

public function setRenderTarget(target:Texture, antiAliasing:int = 0):void

Changes the the current render target.

Parameters

target:Texture — Either a texture or 'null' to render into the back buffer.
 
antiAliasing:int (default = 0) — Only supported for textures, beginning with AIR 13, and only on Desktop. Values range from 0 (no antialiasing) to 4 (best quality).

transformMatrix()method 
public function transformMatrix(object:DisplayObject):void

Prepends translation, scale and rotation of an object to the modelview matrix.

Parameters

object:DisplayObject

transformMatrix3D()method 
public function transformMatrix3D(object:DisplayObject):void

Prepends translation, scale and rotation of an object to the 3D modelview matrix. The current contents of the 2D modelview matrix is stored in the 3D modelview matrix before doing so; the 2D modelview matrix is then reset to the identity matrix.

Parameters

object:DisplayObject

transformMatrixForObject()method 
public static function transformMatrixForObject(matrix:Matrix, object:DisplayObject):void

Prepends translation, scale and rotation of an object to a custom matrix.

Parameters

matrix:Matrix
