Well if you want to change the exact shape of the exported movie, I can tell you that it is impossible at the moment. Maybe Macromedia will add support for that in the future, but as of now it does not support the exporting of shaped Flash movies.
i think thatād add alot more possibilities to web development. thanks beta
Haha, something very funny happened to me today. I was browsing the web and I got a pop-up window. I accidently clicked on it and it took me to this pageā¦

What is so funny about that? Well, it sounds like that is a program that can do almost exactly what you wanted to do! I didnāt think it was possible, but aparently it is through an outside program. They have a 30 day free trial if you want to check it out.
Seeā¦ now that would be great for developing one of those desktop petpal type things. Iāve often wanted to do one of those.
I have a desktop pet pal. It is a sheep and it rules all. It pees, it eats, it falls, it dies, it walks on your AIM windows, or any other windows you have opened. It dives from the top of the screen then turns into a flaming ball and lands in a tub. I love it!!!
It isnāt flash though, it is a program, a very very small program so it wonāt take up RAM when it is running, that is one of the best parts. It actually takes no .dll files or anything, just the one .exe file.
that is nice. Most of those take up far too much ram resources to be practical.
My sheep is 310KB total file size and takes up virtually no ram that I notice.
Sheep sentā¦
iād like that sheep too please
also, very nice program, its doing exactly what im asking for! but do others need the program to be able to see things iāve made with it?
Hey Hojo, the sheep is sent.
And I didnāt have to install anything to view the examples they had on their site, so I donāt think your viewer will. Not 100% sure though. I did have to download a .exe file, but I donāt have the program so I donāt know if you are able to export into a browser or something.
alright, cool, iāll try it out and post results
thanks for the sheep, he really is awesome, heh
is it some freeware sheep?
May ask for a link if it is
I donāt know the link. It was sent to me in an e-mail from a friend. I did see a link for it somewhere, and it said it was freeware, but I donāt remember where that link was.
can you think of a way to edit its graphics? that would be really cool to be able to make your own pet.
That would be illegal:evil:
so?:evil:
I donāt support illegal actions:evil:
oww i was just kidding, breaking into things like that is not only lame, but as you said illegal.
Yep Yep, I knew you were kidding, I just wanted to continue the evil face trendā¦haha.
I actually am guilty of āhackingā into things to change them. I changed the toolbar on my Internet Explorer to be a picture I made (instead of downloaded a program that does it for me, I do it myself), and I changed the sign on screen of my AIM. So my AIM Sign On Screen, my IE, and my Desktop all match:) Technically it is illegal, but I am not reverse engineering the software or anything, just chaging 1 lousy image. I donāt mess with ANYTHING else in there (I wouldnāt want to mess it up, its not like I can contact tech support for something if I messed it up by going inside it). Oh well, if I get arrested or something for changing an image, but other people kill and donāt get arrested, it just shows how the justice system works in Americaā¦haha:)
Anyways, donāt ask me how I changed them, distributing that information is DEFINITELY illegalā¦haha.
I got bored last night and I ran a search for that sheep thing. I actually found a bunch of deskpets(including the sheep). They can all be found hereā¦

I didnāt test them all so use them at your own discretion because I donāt know if they will mess up your comp or anything. The only one I downloaded was āNeko Catā and I did that for my friend. āNeko Catā worked pretty good.
