Coke, Sprite, juice.

Coke, Diet Coke, Sprite seven, to be exact.

In the load function for sprite sheet, we go ahead and add this sprite sheet into the global array, setting the sheet name as the key for the dictionary element.

Once the drawSprite function figures out what atlas this given sprite is actually in, it can pass that data to drawSpritelnternal, handing off the sprite information, what atlas sheet its coming from, as well as the position X and Y that was given to us from drawSprite.

Taking a look at the top of the file, we define a global dictionary object that represents every sprite sheet that's been loaded.

This should be pretty straightforward since we've already covered the defined sprite function and you already have a list that includes a name.

What this will allow you to do is when you're given the spritename inside of the draw function, you can iterate through all of the sprite sheets and for each sprite sheet, determine whether or not the given spritename exists in the sprites that have been defined for that sheet.

Instead, all we have to do is figure out the half dimensions for the sprite and create an inverse of that, which represents our offset.

What we'd like you to do is use this data to load the assets into our sample by filling out the parseAtlasDefinition function in the sprite sheet class.

As such, we need to refer to the trim data against the source data to figure out what the proper offset is to draw the sprite in the correct

Firstly we'll need to update our parseAtlastDefinition function to take into account if a sprite has been trimmed, using this data to modify the corner x and corner y offset values.

Now, we store the cx and cy here, which means if the sprite is or is not trimmed, it doesn't really matter in the drawing function that uses these values later.

After you define a shape, a text object, a sprite, or a button, you add it to the movie, then use the returned handle to move, rotate, scale, or skew the thing.

So, for instance, if you end up in a situation where you got a nice box and pixels in the top left quadrant, it won't actually trim that sprite because it can't shrink it to the center.

So if you're running Namibia for Coca Cola, and you have a 107 constituencies, you know where every can versus bottle of Sprite, Fanta or Coke was sold, whether it was a corner store, a supermarket or a pushcart.

With this in mind you need to update the parse atlas definition to take into account the differences between the framed version and the source version to properly update the offset values so that the sprite draws in the right location.

There once was a tiny sprite, much loved by children. She would frolic with the birds and the beasts in the forest, and sing songs, or play her flute sometimes, she would visit the village, where the humans lived, and cavort with her favorite boys and girls.
