If you’re working on a public project you should send me a link when you get it published. It’d be nice to see something using this parser.

in the example code i was using, they were flipping the screen with a screen.scaleY = -1;

this remedies the conflicting problem with flash’s coordinates of (X,Y) at top left corner, from Box2D’s coordinates of (X,Y) at the bottom left corner.

unfortunately, this means i either flip the parser, or flip the screen. painful -_-;

but here’s the thing that i find absolutely puzzling. when i tested it in your startBox2D environment, it imported perfectly. (?!)

i’ll keep at it and post any findings/solutions for future references

There might be something with the Y coordinates being reversed in Inkscape. When I wrote the tutorials, Y equals 0 at the bottom of the page and Y equals max document height at the top of the page.

If it’s reversed in your Inkscape version (I’m using v.46), there should be an option to change it back around. I can’t seem to find that option, though.

If nothing else, you could try modifying the parser to flip the Y coordinates or flipping your levels in Inkscape. Hokey solutions, but they should work.

(If you modify the parser, might read this link. It explains how the coordinates are saved internally.)

i’m finding that my levels are importing upside down, any ideas?

By default, I believe the argument “Position Iterations” was 10 in the old version. Basically, the higher you set the 3rd argument, the more accurate the collisions will be with less chance of overlapping other objects, but at the expense of CPU power.

I’ve updated the link to the latest version of Box2D from the SVN repository, but you’ll have to get a working SVN client to download it. I managed to stumble through it by trial-and-error using the SmartSVN client.

After i found the needed b2edgechain classes, i ran in the following problem:
ArgumentError: Error #1063: Argument count mismatch on Box2D.Dynamics::b2World/Step(). Expected 2, got 3.
