Starling Framework (BigP Edits)

This is a revised version of the Starling framework with a few additional features you may like!

• MovieClip callback method on frames.

• Sprite9Slice for all your 9-slicing needs!

• Image default smoothing can be assigned on TextureSmoothing.DEFAULT static property.

• BitmapImage for dynamically updating a BitmapData to the GPU (requires call to invalidate()).

• ScrollImage for UV scrolling, scaling and clipping support.

• PreloaderStarling class to setup your App/Game with a built-in Preloader (2 frames flash.display.MovieClip, basically).

• moreinfo

• BlendMode lookup table (useful for Tweening between Blendmodes, sorta).

• DisplayObject has childIndex, getChildPrev(), getChildNext().

• Starling class now has static Signals to dispatch callbacks during rendering phases (good for detecting draw-counts, Pre/Post rendering)

• Starling.whenDrawCallStart;

• Starling.whenDrawCallCount;

• Starling.whenDrawCallEnd;

• Starling.whenStateChanges;

Also includes other extensions that are typically used:

• ParticleDesigner classes for Particle system support.
• AS3 Signals (from org.osflash.signals).
