This library is antiquated and hasn't been tested in Corona SDK for over 3 years. If you'd like to continue the development, please feel free to fork this 😊
MovieClipX (mcx) is a very slick library based off the original MovieClip library for Corona SDK. It adds a few very awesome features including
- mcx objects. A MovieClip master object capable of housing multiple different MovieClip animations.
- Retina display support.
- Animation speed control.
- And more features coming soon.
Use mcx.newTimeline() to create a new timeline object! You can then add mcx objects into the timeline by using timeline:addObject(mcxObject) to manipulate groups of animations at once! Great for pausing every animation or activating a global "slow-mo" mode!
Extra tip: to automatically scale down your graphics for older phones use my utility MultiRezer instead of doing your sprites one by one! MultiRezer download: http://project239.com/multirezer
