Hi everbody,
I’m trying to do an AS3 info-visualization like TED’s one with his news boxes: http://www.ted.com/
All the problem is to make multiple boxes, with different width and height, fit perfectly into a constraint space…
I tried to adapt jared tarbell processing code at http://www.complexification.net/gallery/machines/boxFitting/
His algorithm make one box growing until it touches an other box: he is using a getPixel method to look for a box collision, which is incompatible with a vector rendering in flash…
Any one has an idea to make such a thing in AS3 ???
