BlankTemplate – Action Binder (first draft)

The actionBinder handle Keyboard, GameInput, and the AirGamepad (that transform any Android device into a remote gamepad).

Notes for AirGamepad :
– The swc can be found here in the AIR Sdk ( frameworks\libs\air\gamepad.swc )
– Strangely with android Adobe Air 17 I am not able to launch it, but you can DL the version 16 from the archive
– In Air 18, the gamepad is back :)

Example skin, that mimic the good old Nes game controller :)
Setp 1)
On AIRGamepadEvent.CONNECT event I replace the default image

			//trace("createImageAndShowConfig request !");
			// generate an image on the device			
			var dim:Point = new Point(airGamePadRef.width, airGamePadRef.height);
			
			var tf:TextField = new TextField();
			tf.defaultTextFormat = new TextFormat("Arial", 48, 0xFFFFFF, true, null, null, null, null, TextFormatAlign.CENTER);
			tf.width = dim.x;
			tf.height = 200;
			tf.text = "Gamepad connected !";
			
			var ba:ByteArray = new ByteArray();
			var dat:BitmapData = new BitmapData(dim.x, dim.y, false, 0x0);
			dat.draw(tf, new Matrix(1, 0, 0, 1, 0, dim.y * 1 / 3));
			dat.encode(dat.rect, new JPEGEncoderOptions(80), ba);
			dat.dispose();
			
			airGamePadRef.drawImage(ba);		
			
			_configPanel.show();

Setp 2) building the resolution free gamepad skin on the fly and send it to the device

		protected function _createAndApplySkin():void
		{
			//trace("_createAndApplySkin request !");
			// clean old skin if any
			_clearDisplayList();
			
			// get android screen res
			var dim:Point = new Point(airGamePadRef.width, airGamePadRef.height);
			
			_SW = dim.x;
			_SH = dim.y;
			
			// drawing
			this.graphics.beginFill(0xD1D2CD);
			this.graphics.drawRect(0, 0, _SW, _SH);
			this.graphics.beginFill(0xDADBD5);
			this.graphics.drawRect(0, 0, _SW, int(_SH * (3 / 18)));
			this.graphics.endFill();
			
			var tf:TextField = new TextField();
			tf.defaultTextFormat = new TextFormat("Impact", _SH * (3 / 36), 0xCE0005, false, true);
			tf.autoSize = TextFieldAutoSize.LEFT;
			tf.text = "AIR Advantage ";
			tf.selectable = false;
			tf.x = 10;
			tf.y = 10;
			addChild(tf);
			
			var tfGameName:TextField = new TextField();
			tfGameName.defaultTextFormat = new TextFormat("Impact", _SH * (1 / 36), 0x484d53);
			tfGameName.autoSize = TextFieldAutoSize.LEFT;
			tfGameName.text = Config.GAME_NAME;
			tfGameName.selectable = false;
			tfGameName.x = 10;
			tfGameName.y = int(_SH * (3 / 18) - tfGameName.textHeight);
			addChild(tfGameName);
			
			_params = new Bitmap(new Params());
			_params.height = _params.width = _SH * (3 / 36);
			_params.x = _SW - 20 - _params.width;
			_params.y = 20;
			addChild(_params);
			
			_vPad = new VirtualPad(int(_SW * (6 / 18)));
			_vPad.x += (_configPanel.rightHanded) ? int(4 / 18 * _SW) : int(14 / 18 * _SW);
			_vPad.y += int(6 / 9 * _SH);
			addChild(_vPad);
			
			_vBtnB = new VirtualButton(int(_SW * (4 / 18)));
			_vBtnB.x += (_configPanel.rightHanded) ? int(10 / 18 * _SW) : int(3 / 18 * _SW);
			_vBtnB.y += int(6 / 9 * _SH);
			addChild(_vBtnB);
			
			_vBtnA = new VirtualButton(int(_SW * (4 / 18)));
			_vBtnA.x += (_configPanel.rightHanded) ? int(15 / 18 * _SW) : int(8 / 18 * _SW);
			_vBtnA.y += int(6 / 9 * _SH);
			addChild(_vBtnA);
			
			_startBtn = new VirtualRoundedButton(int(_SW * (3 / 18)));
			_startBtn.x += (_configPanel.rightHanded) ? int(10 / 18 * _SW) : int(3 / 18 * _SW);
			_startBtn.y += int(3 / 9 * _SH);
			addChild(_startBtn);
			
			_selectBtn = new VirtualRoundedButton(int(_SW * (3 / 18)));
			_selectBtn.x += (_configPanel.rightHanded) ? int(15 / 18 * _SW) : int(8 / 18 * _SW);
			_selectBtn.y += int(3 / 9 * _SH);
			addChild(_selectBtn);
			
			_applySkin();
		}
		
		protected function _applySkin():void
		{
			//trace("_applySkin request !");
			var ba:ByteArray = new ByteArray();
			var dat:BitmapData = new BitmapData(_SW, _SH, false, 0xCC0000);
			dat.draw(this);
			dat.encode(dat.rect, new JPEGEncoderOptions(100), ba);
			dat.dispose();
			
			// send the skin on the mobile device
			airGamePadRef.drawImage(ba);
			
			// -- Wand Listeners						
			airGamePadRef.addEventListener(TouchEvent.TOUCH_BEGIN, onTouchBegin);
			airGamePadRef.addEventListener(TouchEvent.TOUCH_MOVE, onTouchMove);
			airGamePadRef.addEventListener(TouchEvent.TOUCH_END, onTouchEnd);
			
			// accelerometer
			if (_configPanel.accelerometer)
			{
				airGamePadRef.addEventListener(AccelerometerEvent.UPDATE, _onAccUpdate);
			}
			
			

VirtualPad, VirtualButton and VirtualRoundedButton are regular bitmapFilled Shapes
