Taerzik -> RE: Flash Q&A Thread 4 (12/28/2007 15:45:54)

Finally did it! A couple of days ago I found a solution that puts my (rather barren) multi-user flash file in contact with the SmartFox Server program. It's nothing impressive (looking) and the chat still doesn't work right (scrolling chat window? I've forgotten how...), but hey, I'm up!

Anyone who wants to kick around in there is welcome to. I'm still missing some very important aspects (you'll figure 'em out [;)]) so when something seems to go wrong don't be surprised. Just so you know, the password feature isn't implemented yet. Just type in a name for yourself and go. If you get 5 lines of chat visible then reload the file or else you'll miss what's said. (click the file link again to reload it)

If you only get a screen saying "connecting..." and it doesn't flip over to the sign-in the server is down or you're disconnected.

You can try the file from here: -> Link <-
At the syte just click the halfmoon icon on the right-hand side.

I'll be working on the file to add the missing pieces (heheh) and testing them as I go. Feel free to leave notes in the syte forum but please don't use hard language. Thanks.



Hope you enjoyed the Christmas holiday and the new year to come!



flsg -> RE: Flash Q&A Thread 4 (12/28/2007 18:00:56)

SirSchmoopy: lots of ways. try searching for javascript controlling a .swf file. Currently I don't think you can do it with only flash.
Taerzik: keep saying loading for me...



Taerzik -> RE: Flash Q&A Thread 4 (12/28/2007 19:21:04)

Maybe I need to try to connect through another comp. I routed through a proxy server and the file loaded and operated just fine. It's either your comp or else it's a problem some others have used. Is you flash player up to 7? That's what I built in.



Clyde -> RE: Flash Q&A Thread 4 (12/29/2007 2:55:35)

Alright, I want to put my flash imagines on display in this forum, but I don't know how to convert it from a Fla. to another file. Also Photobucket (probably not anyother imagine site) accepts Fla. files.

So can you help me?



Nickwright -> RE: Flash Q&A Thread 4 (12/29/2007 2:55:54)

Go down to file and select Export, then Export Image, and then pick the file type



Clyde -> RE: Flash Q&A Thread 4 (12/29/2007 2:56:35)

Thanks Nick :)



Darklord517 -> RE: Flash Q&A Thread 4 (12/29/2007 8:46:50)

Also, if you want to display them as animations such as .swf files i suggest you use www.swfup.com/ to upload.



biG frend -> RE: Flash Q&A Thread 4 (12/29/2007 12:16:47)

I'm in the same trouble as Sirschoompy, i've found this from googlnig what you said, http://www.carknee.com/archive/2007/01/02/flash-file-swf-loader-control.aspx

But I have no idea if thats the right thing, Weather it works or How to set it up...



EragonZZZZ -> RE: Flash Q&A Thread 4 (12/29/2007 14:23:53)

Sorry biggy, that's not going to help you do an autosave.

Way to give misleading information flsg xD
(just kidding)



biG frend -> RE: Flash Q&A Thread 4 (12/29/2007 14:26:49)

Could you point me in the right direction then?

Gladly. If you don't want to use a server, look up SOL files.



SirSchmoopy -> RE: Flash Q&A Thread 4 (12/29/2007 15:53:10)

what do u mean by "using a server?"
i just need to kno how to save, then take out stuff from mysql database, or anything easier that my brain duznt have to think about for more then .1 seconds lol



flsg -> RE: Flash Q&A Thread 4 (12/29/2007 16:31:39)

saving stuff is easy, the problem is that flash can't detect when the window(with the game inside) is closed.
So put a javascript code in the html page containing the .swf file. Javascript has a certain function that can detect window closing. Then it can communicate with flash, and once flash receives the warning, do some piece of code to save.

the problem is that I forgot which function controls and detect the things I'm talking about XD. Try searching on google



The Illusive Man -> RE: Flash Q&A Thread 4 (12/30/2007 11:33:50)

wow, i haven't been keeping track of this thread for a while lol.

This stuff is way over my head lol. *Needs to research more AS*



EragonZZZZ -> RE: Flash Q&A Thread 4 (12/30/2007 12:43:13)

Bonus gift for you all.
Saves data. Read the comments in the .fla file for instructions.

Saver Class. <--- the .as file. Don't modify this.
The Test File <--- the .fla file. look at this and read the comments.


MAKE SURE YOU SAVE THEM IN THE SAME FREAKING FOLDER :D
To use my class, simply make sure the .as file is in the same folder as all your other files that need to use it.

Everyone, feel free to download it, as it's hard to comprehend. I explained it rather well, though :]
flsg, its AS 2.0, but cope for a second. I was too lazy to put in try/catch for error handling cause we all know i don't make mistakes anyway ;)



flsg -> RE: Flash Q&A Thread 4 (12/30/2007 19:57:33)

lol, gonna try it later
what I'm saying is that flash can save, but SirSchmoopy want to do it automatically when someone closes the game, and flash can't detect it currently




biG frend -> RE: Flash Q&A Thread 4 (12/30/2007 20:03:09)

I was wondering is there any quick way of making a Text Writing Animation.

E.g you see each letter being typed out on the screen, or do you have to make a new keyframe for each added letter?



Sephiroth12 -> RE: Flash Q&A Thread 4 (12/30/2007 21:07:40)

I think you have to make a keyframe for each added letter, best to do it with a movie clip :P But what do I know? I suck at flash... :P



The Illusive Man -> RE: Flash Q&A Thread 4 (12/31/2007 8:11:22)

biG, as far as i know, it's a keyframe job. But i'll research it for you



flsg -> RE: Flash Q&A Thread 4 (12/31/2007 12:14:47)

or you could use actionscript to do it :)

I did that the other day, what I did is make a blank first frame then motion tween. Then made a keyframe like 15 frames on. And in every frame put in the letters from teh previous frames plus 1 more (used copy and paste in the frames and just added a letter. its simple really).

Its abit easier than adding a keyframe all the time



biG frend -> RE: Flash Q&A Thread 4 (1/1/2008 11:41:12)

That'll still take ages for what I want to do but needless to say thanks anyway.



zenron the great -> RE: Flash Q&A Thread 4 (1/1/2008 11:46:18)

why how much are you typing
