Work in progress Experiment

so i cant use it?

i got it off a site where i get real player music. darn i just might have to use nothing now:(

Well as I said, if you are going to use it, then at least give the band credit and maybe put a link to their site as well. But when you say copyright Alex’s Designs and are playing a song that is not yours… that tends to look bad… legally.

ok, i got the song out of there. i also added a email form, but i might take it out because its kinda big.=)

hey lost… thats a really cool uhh… thing? what am i supposed to call it… anyways… i think that would be awesome for my site if i ever get around to making it… it would be so perfect for displaying art… i better get crackin on my actionscript skills so i can make one
great job:A+: :beam:

Thanks 28 :slight_smile:

no problem
keep up the amazing work

** And yes, I did see it somewhere else, I just have no clue where. **

Could it be here perhaps? :

Nope, never seen that site before, cool link though :slight_smile:

HEy Beta. Will there be a tut and a FLA when you finsh this experamint?:smirk: :smirk:

Hehe, the thread for the first version of this is more popular than the most recent version of this…

^that is where I am so far. Still debating on making a tutorial or not :-\ Not sure I can handle the 9.9 billion questions a week on it not working or something.

True you would get flooded with questions.

Yep, I have no doubt about that.

How do I modify this?
It isn’t working what do I do?
Why won’t this work when I use it with loadMovie()?

etc, etc…

That’s the only thing hesitating me on the Ai tutorials… Just think about how many people wanna implement them in a game but won’t know how t use it… sighs… Back to coding… hehe

Yeah thats why when I write my tutorials I try to be as descriptive as possible speaking in terms even n00bs can understand.

But it apparently doesn’t work :-\ I still get a ton of questions on my tutorials :-\

Not very… just focused it around the code in my easing tutorial, but changed it to ease the _xscale and _yscale (or _width and _height, can’t remember).

Then it didn’t take too much to get the label to follow the corner, just an onEnterFrame handler and some positioning according to the clips current width and height :wink:

Timewise it didn’t take me long at all. Not as long as many of my other experiments.

If you view the link a few posts above of how this looks now I use smaller buttons that are labeled by number and call the image from the server manually.

I plan to use PHP to get the image file names and dimensions, then loading that info into Flash.

Didn’t think about randomization though, that sounds interesting. I might go for that if I get this to work.

Actually… Come to think of it… It could be Phil…

Just a basic PHP script that could load up an image and figure out it’s height and width and everything… looks through php book really quickly

getimagesize(filename);

Unfortunately I think this only returns it’s size in kilobytes… But it returns an array… Hmmm… It might return something more than just the bytes if you wanna check out that function beta :slight_smile:

I already have a basic function down.

YOu can see how it works here…

Blah no need now… :-p

Hey Marz, server-side Flash is my mega-downfall. I can try and try, but things don’t always click with me.

I have a theory of how to do it, haven’t gotten a chance to try it yet though. So if you ever have time and you want to work on whipping something up, I will be grateful :slight_smile:

What I need to do is be able to write these to a .txt file or something to call into Flash, and then have them called into flash possibly in array form???

Here is the PHP code I am using now if you want to try something.

<?php
$dir = opendir(".");
while($file = readdir($dir)){
if($file=="." or $file=="..") continue;
$dotposition = strrpos($file, ".");
$filename = substr($file, 0, $dotposition);
$extension = substr($file, 1 + $dotposition);
if($extension == "jpg" || $extension == "gif"){
$size = getImageSize($file);
$height = $size[1];
$width = $size[0];
echo "$filename.$extension   :   height = $height   :   width = $width <BR>";
}
}
?>
