Page flip effect

Getting Started Newbie Questions
#1

Hello everyone!

I am pretty new with Corona development. I would like to know if there is an easy way of creating a page flip effect like many applications do in the iPhone, like in this example: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=oknMWvRO2XE

Thanks for any hints you could give me,

As Corona does not support 3D effects on a display object, you will have to emulate this through a series of images and some transitions like moving and scaling. Thats the only thing you can do atm. [import]uid: 5712 topic_id: 3142 reply_id: 9262[/import]

I’d love to see an API for this effect too… Is there any way that this code could be embedded in the Corona API? It’s being offered for free:

A cheaper way might be to use a pre-rendered animation of a page turn (rather one that’s interactive to the touch). This would work pretty well, as long as you weren’t trying to apply the texture of the previous or next page to the turning page – in other words, the part that turns is blank. May work ok if you’re looking at just the right hand page (and not a two-page view of the book). [import]uid: 9905 topic_id: 3142 reply_id: 9555[/import]

Thank you David, both seem good ideas to me, although I don’t have a clue about how to embed that code into Corona´s SDK. I hope the API includes a function easy to implement. Clients are asking for it all the time!

Thanks Mike. I will try to work on an animation to do the job for the moment. [import]uid: 10589 topic_id: 3142 reply_id: 9586[/import]

that’s precisely what i am looking for…
Any help??
Any Api?

I want the same effect that for instance the “Map App” has when you on “Settings”
the front screen curls!!

Some clients have asking for that effect :frowning:

Is it possible to create the page curl effect in Flash and export it as a png sequence and run the sprite animation to give it the page curl effect? [import]uid: 8780 topic_id: 3142 reply_id: 36515[/import]

This is one of the features most people is wanting. It is in the Corona’s roadmap page. Hope they deliver it soon. [import]uid: 4883 topic_id: 3142 reply_id: 50780[/import]
