Save and load Sprite co-ordinates ?

Could somebody please tell me the best method for saving (and loading)

sprite names, co-ordinates and angles....(similar to 'INI' files in C1)

I need a way to record and load 2 sets of info..

1, Start position and angle for multiple sprites.

2, End position and angle for multiple sprites.

An example of the app can be tested below-

Thanks in advance

Test

Hash table in C1 (It's called Dictonary in C2, I guess since it does away with the underlying hash)

spritebank could be used, and combining the json data from spritebank with an array or hash, you can load multiple poses

very cool application you got there, nice!

Can't seem to find anything re "Dictionary" in manual or tutorials.

Will search.

I will check the spritebank plugin..see if i can make sense?

Do you know of any example's that have been posted?

Dictionary was introduced in r91, so not a lot of documentation out yet. There are some details in the release notes.

Thanks for the info Nimtrix...

I will have to experiment and wait for a tutorial! <img src="smileys/smiley9.gif" border="0" align="middle">

this is example spritebank + dictionary, you can save and load the sprites by "key" entered into textbox

Your example is great...couple of questions ?

When I enter a 'name', and save/ load everything works.

After exiting/ restarting the Capx, can I enter a previously saved ref and open it again?

hmm im thinking maybe with the latest addition from dictionary > export to json and save this json in a webstorage key, then when reload the page, you load the webstorage key > the json string.. and import back into dictionary,

but i havent used this function yet, i see if i can make something

you can only download the jsonstring, and the import gives me troubles,

much better would be like dictionarytostring and save this in var or webstorage

edit: maybe use rexrainbow hashtable, its almost the same

yes it works,

example

so now when added a couple of "states" when pressing savetowebstorage

it will safe the hashtable with all states to webstorage

when page refresh it reloads the hashtable from webstorage

Just tested your example....brilliant.

I will update post tomorrow(?) after trying to implement into the project.

Thanks for your help.

vtrix...thanks for helping me with this project...

I have a couple more questions regarding local storage?

Your 'hashtoweb storage' saves the sprite details in the folder-

C:\Users\Administrator\Local Settings\Application Data\Google\Chrome\User Data\Profile 7\Local Storage

The file is named-

http_localhost_50000.localstorage (on my system anyway)

My question is...can this file be opened/edited in any text editor?

I have tried using word, notepad, ultraedit and others?

You can edit the local storage directly in Chrome with the Developer Tools. CTRL-SHIFT-I then click on Resources.
