Comment on Gradients and masks in actionscript by thimmayya

Hey there!
Nice tutorial, there is one thing though that I’d like to point out!

It should be:
obj_to_be_masked.setMask(gmask)
instead of:
obj_to_be_masked.setMask(mask)

You have a XSS problem on your site.

Install noscript plugin for firefox and see the error report.

Comment on Introduction to Mercator Projections, Latitude and Longitude by Alex Nino

Hi! this is quite interesting, a while ago I’ve been working in a project (PeopleMundi for playbook and android) and I was facing a situation similar to this, I found similar approaches like convertLatLonTo3DPos, and unfortunatelly they are very slow in term of performance… instead I end up using a provisional stencil buffer which works about 10x times faster by making the reverse 3d projection equation. have a look on it in action http://www.yoambulante.com/en/labs/FixPlanetEarth/ the playbook and android version runs at solid 30fps using this technique, I hope it helps, looking forward to have a beer at FOTB11, cheers!

this is something I would love to see developed into a multitouch application with group dynamics/players competing in the space. Have you looked into implementing something like this with OpenExhibits MT software? This would work well with NextWindow interfaces.

Comment on Introduction to Mercator Projections, Latitude and Longitude by dotNetFollower

Hello!

I use the pure mathematical method to convert Mercator Sphere coordinates to latitude and longitude.

I needed it in JavaScript and implemented it in the following way:
function MercatorToLatLon(mercX, mercY) {

var rMajor = 6378137; //Equatorial Radius, WGS84
var shift = Math.PI * rMajor;
var lon = mercX / shift * 180.0;
var lat = mercY / shift * 180.0;
lat = 180 / Math.PI * (2 * Math.atan(Math.exp(lat * Math.PI / 180.0)) – Math.PI / 2.0);

return { ‘Lon’: lon, ‘Lat’: lat };
}
You can read it up in my blog (http://dotnetfollower.com/wordpress/2011/07/javascript-how-to-convert-mercator-sphere-coordinates-to-latitude-and-longitude/) at greater length.

Thanks!
