6600 weird behaviour with setClip

[fwahrman]

Hey guys, just wondering if anyone here has run into this following problem when using the 6600 and setClip.

Anyway, what I'm doing is the following.

I have a method that is supposed to draw a character from a frame strip that has 5 rows and 3 columns.

The character can move in 8 directionss so 5 of the directions are already included in the strip and 3 of them are drawn by flipping the image. Anyway, on S40 phones and the S60 emulatos this works just fine, no problems at all.

But now when I try it on a 6600 I for some reason see the whole image there, instead of just one of the frames.

Anyway, in my draw method I first set the clip region on the Graphics object, that clip region has a width and height that is exactly as big as one frame.

After that, if I need to flip the Image I create a DirectGraphics object using dg = DirectUtils.getDirectGraphics(g); After that I then draw the image at the location I want but now on my phone it ends up drawing the entire Image, despite me setting a clip region that has a width and height that would allow it to draw only a single frame.

Has anyone run into these kinda problems on their 6600 phones before this ? I tried to do a quick lookup here on the forums but at least I couldn't spot anyone writing about this so....

The Firmware I have in my phone is 3.42.1

Any help or work arounds would be greatly appreciated!!

Just a thought, would it work if I'd go and use clipRect every time after I've used setClip, maybe that'd ensure that the clip really is set as I want it to be.....

I ran into the same problem.
Anyway Nokia 6600 is MIDP 2 so may be you can use
Sprite Transforms.
I didn't try that myself, so if it work please let me know.

I actually solved it by adding

g.clipRect(....) immediately after the setClip() command with the same area specified as in setClip(...)

This seems to do the trick
