Hotmail Meegos

Well this is a random/action script post.

Anyone with a Hotmail account would have gotten a e-mail with this link in it.
However if you are anything like me, you delete 99% of stuff from Hotmail without even opening it. :slight_smile:

So check this out.

Now for the actionscript bit.

I made something like this a year or so ago with dressing a chick with different clothes.

My question is how are they saving this ?

They have their meego with a bunch of different movies on different layers.

Can that be turned into a .jpg or a .swf on its own ?

For the AS bit, an easy way would be to use shared objects. Telekinesis and Jerez_z wrote about that on this site. A more elaborate way would be to use cookies and/or save it to a database, but I think shared objects would work for casual users :slight_smile:

If I understand shared objects,

Their basicly cookies…

Take this site, if you made your avtar a shared object thats fine for when you return, you can see your avtar, but you wont see anyone elses and they wont see yours.

So you would have to save the name/colour of ever pieces to mysql, then when ppl vist it pulls the names all of the movies and colour info out and loads them into levels.

templevel = 0
currentlevel = templevel

for(level=currentlevel, level<=currentlevel+3, level++){
load (head.swf, level) setcolour (#000000)
load (hair.swf, level) setcolour (#000000)
load (hat.swf, level) setcolour (#000000)
templevel = currentlevel++
}

currentlevel = templevel

for(level=currentlevel, level<=currentlevel+3, level++){
load (head.swf, level) setcolour (#000000)
load (hair.swf, level) setcolour (#000000)
load (hat.swf, level) setcolour (#000000)
templevel = currentlevel++
}

as far as I can tell this is the only way…

Oh that’s right - I forgot that others can’t see your design. There are two other sites that do something similar in a navigable chat environment: http://www.dubit.co.uk/index.cfm and [url=“http://www.habbohotel.com/”]http://www.habbohotel.com

They both save their data to a database. About how you store and retrieve that info from a database, I have no idea :stuck_out_tongue:
