Thank you Jack! thats it exactly!!

Thanks, I'm trying to set the Crop instance's "cropMode" to true or false with a button, but I cant find the current selection I have been trying manager.configureCropMode but no luck

I tried crop.configureCropMode(true); and this

function cropitFunction (event:MouseEvent):void{
this.manager.configureCropMode(true);

}

Thanks for the reply, and yes ,sorry my question is confusing!

what I'm wondering is is there something like manager.deleteSelection(); for cropMode true?
​or would it be something like crop.Selection = cropped "true";
or Crop.Selection.cropMode = true;

I would like to use a button to turn on and off Crop,
is there an equivalent to  "manager.deleteSelection(); " for   cropMode true?

I'm adding my imageLoader to new Crop shown below:

but I want to use a button  "on click" to change the "cropped true" of whatever object is slected  and then agin to false with a finished button.

but my var crop:Crop = new Crop(imageLoader,manager); is not accessible out side the function imageLoaded
so I get an error that flash docent know what Crop is?
any ideas would be most welcome

function imageLoaded ( event:Event ):void{
log2 ( "Image loaded asynchronously." );
imageLoader.width = 640;
imageLoader.height = 480;
imageLoader.y = 109.35;
imageLoader.x = 660;
imageLoader.rotation = 90;
this.addChild ( imageLoader );


var crop:Crop = new Crop(imageLoader,manager);


}

Sure, TransformManager can transform pretty much any DisplayObject. It's fine if you're dynamically adding text (although not right in the middle of while your user is dragging/resizing). 

maybe I'm doing something wrong because I add my text to the TransformManager but it only transformes the text box not the text inside 

I have added dynamic text to my TransformManager, is it possible to change the size of dynamically added text ?

Cool thanks!

Is it possible to call the crop with a button instead of double clicking?

Nope, you don't add it to the manager - the Crop does that for you. You pass the TransformManager instance to the Crop so that it knows how to associate things. Check out the example in the docs. 

import com.greensock.transform.*;

//create the TransformManager first 
var manager:TransformManager = new TransformManager();
 
//now create Crop objects for mc1, mc2, and mc3 which are all DisplayObjects on the stage
var mc1Crop:Crop = new Crop(mc1, manager);
var mc2Crop:Crop = new Crop(mc2, manager);
var mc3Crop:Crop = new Crop(mc3, manager);

So once you create your TransformManager, you can add as many Crops as you want, whenever you want. 

Ok but it still looks like I would need to know the name of the object, but in my code its being loaded from a camera so I don't know what the name will be?

right now all the pictures loaded manager as loader and it works fine how could I add a crop into this scenario?

function showMedia( loader:Loader ):void
{
loader.width = 640;
loader.height = 480;
loader.y = 109.35;
loader.x = 160;
/*loader.rotation = 90;*/
this.addChild( loader );
manager.addItem(loader);
}

I'm not sure where to add it?  Before I add it to the manager?

var imageLoaderCrop:Crop = new Crop(loader);
manager.addItem(loader);

So you cant us it for dynamic content? you would need to know the name of the object your adding ?

Sorry I just pasted the wrong code in there!

 I'm looking a crop instance for dynamically added images, I'm adding images as there taken, to my manager

function showMedia( loader:Loader ):void
{
loader.width = 640;
loader.height = 480;
loader.y = 109.35;
loader.x = 160;
/*loader.rotation = 90;*/
this.addChild( loader );


manager.addItem(loader);
}

var myTargets:Array = [];


var manager:TransformManager = new TransformManager({targetObjects:myTargets,constrainScale:false,forceSelectionToFront:true,allowDelete:true,autoDeselect:false,handleSize:35});

var mc1Crop:Crop = new Crop(mc1, manager);
var mc2Crop:Crop = new Crop(mc2, manager);
var mc3Crop:Crop = new Crop(mc3, manager);

Nice! 

so using deleteSelection() method. if I want to call yourTransformManager.deleteSelection(); 

should be written like this? manager.deleteSelection(); 

No problem, sound fair,  one question for you then, in this code is my TransformManager named "manager" ? or does it get a name programmatically?

 var manager:TransformManager = new TransformManager({targetObjects:[deco127],constrainScale:true,forceSelectionToFront:true,allowDelete:true,autoDeselect:true,handleSize:29});

Sorry, what if I have more that one TransformManager, but they have the same name? yourTransformManager.deleteSelection(); 

Cool, thank you!

ok thanks!

Hi Jack, is there an example of how to use deleteSelection() method ?

I am trying to delete on drag and drop or intersect with checkHitAreare it dorset seem to work with TransformManager.   in my app i would like the user to be able to drag an item to a trashcan, the items are all objects that are in a TransformManager. is it possible to call same delete function that is used when desktop users hit the delete key?
 
 
 
stage.addEventListener(Event.ENTER_FRAME, checkHitAreare);
 
function checkHitAreare(evt:Event) {
    var currentMC:MovieClip;
    var removeMCs:Array = [];
    for(var i=0; i < stage.numChildren; i++){
     currentMC = MovieClip(stage.getChildAt(i));
        if (currentMC != this.recp_mc && this.recp_mc.hitTestObject(currentMC)) {
            removeMCs.push(currentMC);
        }
    }
    for(var j:int = 0 ; j < removeMCs.length;j++)
    {
      stage.removeChild(removeMCs[j]);
    }
 
}
