"video" fill type?

[schroederapps]

I am hoping that the plan with Graphics 2.0 is to enable developers to pass an MP4 or similar file type into a newRect, newCircle, or newPolygon as its fill, but it’s unclear from the current documentation whether or not this is a priority. Based on Walter’s “augmented reality experiment” (http://www.coronalabs.com/blog/2013/09/03/augmented-reality-experiment/), it’s clear that the engine is capable of rendering video as a fill, but I was hoping to get some sense from CoronaLabs whether or not this will be extended to video files in addition to the camera feed.

Any thoughts? +1s from others who would find this useful?

Thanks!

Hi Jason, yup, it’s on the roadmap. We want to enable arbitrary fills from movie files, camera, etc, but we probably won’t get to this until after G2 goes out of beta. We had to draw the line somewhere

Hi Walter - I totally understand setting priorities. But glad to hear it’s on the radar, and it’s always nice to get a reply from the bossman! Thanks for all the good stuff in daily builds lately…mapView improvements, G2, transition 2.0…it’s been a great couple of months.

FWIW, you guys didn’t strut nearly enough about transition 2.0 in my honest opinion. I think that’s one of the more useful additions in the last year but you might have missed it if you weren’t paying attention. Don’t be so humble!

Edit: Ugh sorry misunderstood the feature request
