To start optimizing your swfs you have to download some things:

Apparat: http://code.google.com/p/apparat/
Scala: http://www.scala-lang.org/downloads
(Please check the Apparat website for infos about the needed version. Currently Scala RC3)
BigSource Zarkov: http://zarkov.bigsource.de
(Eclipse Updatesite: http://update.bigsource.de/beta)

After unpacking Apparat and Scala and installing the new version of Zarkov you can create the tasks.

Example

See content of build.properties in previous post.

<project name="Example 1" default="tdsi" basedir=".">

	<property file="build.properties" />

	<target name="tdsi">
		<bigsource.apparat.tdsi basedir="${basedir}" apparatdirectory="PATH TO APPARAT DIRECTORY" scala="PATH TO SCALA EXECUTABLE">
			<inputfile path="${swf.application.target }" />
			<outputfile path="${swf.application.target }" />
			<set7zpath path="PATH TO 7zip IF NOT IN $PATH" />
		</bigsource.apparat.tdsi>
	</target>

        <target name="reducer">
		<bigsource.apparat.reducer basedir="${basedir}" apparatdirectory="PATH TO APPARAT DIRECTORY" scala="PATH TO SCALA EXECUTABLE">
			<inputfile path="${swf.application.target }" />
			<outputfile path="${swf.application.target }" />
			<set7zpath path="PATH TO 7zip IF NOT IN $PATH" />
		</bigsource.apparat.reducer>
	</target>
</project>

As you can see, the new features are currently only available from the beta update. Your feedback would help to make BigSource Zarkov even better. Feel free to contact us.

Thanks to Joa for his great tool!!

This is an example with random sized drips. It has no hitmap and no distance map. If no distance map is added, the radius size will be a random value between radiusMin and radiusMax.

Here is an example with a hitmap and a uniform distance map. All poisson points have the same radius.

I made an editor where you can change the settings and different kind of hitmaps:

Feel free to download and play around with the source.

Roadmap:

• mxmlc (fcsh)
• compc (fcsh)
• mtasc (AS2)
• Flashplayer
• haxe
• the other compilers of the flex sdk (asdoc, etc.)

Current FCSH Wrapper users:

• close the FCSH Monitor
• deinstall the old Plugin (Help -> Software Updates -> Manage Configuration)
• install BigSource Zarkov from the update url.

New users:
Install BigSource Zarkov from this update url: http://update.bigsource.de/update

Now you will find the Zarkov Monitor under the Views-Category “Flash”. Because of the renaming you have to specify the paths for the compiler and the Flashplayer again. We apologize for the trouble caused.

The name is dedicated to the brilliant rocket scientist “Dr. Hans Zarkov” from the “Flash Gordon” series.

UPDATE: If you have any BigSource Zarkov related issues, just put it into our new bugtracking system under http://bugtracking.bigsource.de/trac/bigsource_zarkov. This will make it easier for us to improve the plugin.
