Frank did a great (graphics) job,but was not enough ... now it's real !

p.s.
I'm doing this for BOB only.
I asked for some DIABLO testers and what I've got: nothing !
cheers

[waytogo]

Thanx for fun file. I did something similar not long ago with a moon rotating around earth but was not entirely happy with it. This is good!

G'Day Necro,
Well done, and thanks for sharing the fun file with everyone, because that is the greatest and easiest way for everyone to learn from your experience.

Keep em coming....

Hello,
I downloaded the fun file for your 3d rotation which was great. Could you tell me what program you used to create the 3D image itself?

That image is (was) Frank Hilton's artwork.
My advice is to use Adobe Photoshop 7 and to export your creation as EMF or EPS format.

[fwhilton]

Hello,

I created the 3d image with Koolmoves.

Hey everyone!

Hey everyone!

Could you say how you did this (the purple 3D figure)? I tried to replicate it in order to learn action script. But I got nothing like yours. Keep in mind that I have computer experience but I am no graphics designer and most of which I know I learned from this forum.

As I said some time ago, this example is quite spectacular but not so usefull.
Why ?. Because can't render shapes (triangles) and hasn't a "SwapDepths engine".
However it's excellent for study.

I did something like this but the file was so large I abandoned it. You can find it at http://home.att.net/~sablelanding/virtualdrum.exe

It was done entirely from koolmoves and the sounds were from cakewalk, and sound fx. As an added note: I have examined all of necromanthus fun files and cannot understand how the maze file works. How were the walls completed? I find all of his files most useful in understanding flash creations. --To much too learn sometimes!!!---thank you for your knowledge

for TMOORE ...
Thanx !
The "maze" is a little part from "DIABLO" engine.
KoolMoves doesn't recognize "GetBounds",so the script becomes a little bit sticky.
I think that BOB is working on it.
p.s.
There's something wrong with your link !

I think the problem is that the period is at the end of the link. It work on my computer when I copy pasted it. Redediting the thread only made things worse. Try to edit copy paste.

Your drums flash-projector is quite nice.
Some objectives of my KoolMoves examples:
- usefull action-scripts examples
- how can you emulate a missing command
- SMALL files (easy to download)
- work for fun
So...if someone's asking for PRO files,this is a wrong place.

Necro:
Amazing file especially for one frame. I did down load it.....that’s a lot of Action Script you done. It would not play for me?

The trees look great too...were they done on KoolMoves?

Hi Bob C.
This example is dedicated mostly for you and Johnie (he knows some Flash designers using over 16000 frames ...lol)
It's time to show your art and put some cool "textures" on the "Runner skeleton".
If your work will be cool enough,I'll improve the movement script to look allmost REAL.
cheers

[docree]

Hey Necromanthus,
A little help on Draw in KM:
Instead of using transparency for the shading fill
use the same color as the main fill and vary
contrast for the shading.
Possibly a more realistic look.

You're cracking me up... We both know MM claims that the player will freeze over 16,000 http://www.macromedia.com/support/flash/ts/documents/bigflash.htm
I had to explain to someone the other day that their 20 MEG SWF wouldn't play becuase of this.


Anyhow this is a good example. 1 Frame. I'm impressed.

[necromanthus]

for Docree...
I can't get your point (no transparency at all in the last example).However,feel free to make some nice "textures" for the runner.

This was a great fun file. I understand the movement of the trees thus giving the illusion of movement and random occurance. I made a stickman using this fun file but I have problems with the knees and elbows. (I need to work on it and figure it out). Thank you

Another great BobC's release: Audi A4
FUN file available,but you must get his permission to modify it !

[Bob C.]

Hey Necro,

Naaah...... people can modify the AudiA4.fun file and take it apart any way they wish but if it is used as is (as I created it) I would like credit for it....is all.

Thanks again for posting it.

A lot of people asked for a "scroling menu bar" (mouse controlled).
Here's a starting point !
Feel free to modify anything you want.

:mrpimp:

I was able to do a experimental scrolling menu bar at
http://home.att.net/~diversioncentral/testsitemenu2.html
(I work full time so I do not have time to be fancy)

I do not understand what this means but I know it is key on the operation and the number 4 is?
on(press){_root.page.gotoAndPlay(4);}

When I view the britneyspears menu, the menu goes reverse of the mouse. I could not get this to happen. Well I did but then the speed of the scroll was way to slow. Need to keep playing. I do not know enough to manipulate the script yet. I could not figure out how to control the speed also.

This was a great file.
Tim Moore

[necromanthus]

1)" on(press){_root.page.gotoAndPlay(4);} "
This button set a jump to page no.4
2)"the menu goes reverse of the mouse. I could not get this to happen"
Because it wasn't my wish.Easy: just change the sign for _root._xmouse
3)"I could not figure out how to control the speed also"
Easy: change the divider (smaller one) for XS and YS
cheers

[necromanthus]

It's time for a "3D Menu" for my KoolMoves section.
Check yourself !
:mrpimp:

[OwenAus]

Neat. :)

[Bob C.]

Remus:

Very smooth motion and size transition...silky smooth.

One comment though...the rotation speed is a bit fast (to me) dropping the rate would allow an easier read.

Just my $.02

Bob C.

[necromanthus]

Thanks guys for support.
BTW,check again because has a new look:
double rotation,10 buttons per "wheel",new colors,messages.
p.s.
I'm waiting for some COOL examples from you because Warcraft engine make me nuts !(probably next month the first preview).
cheers

[necromanthus]

A lot of people asked me for a nice CLOCK for their websites.
I hope you'll like this "ancient" design.
p.s.
I know Hilary has a nice example too.

[necromanthus]

A cool "miscelaneous" example (the "ActionScript Examples" wheel is full so ... ha ha ha).
Solve the puzzle and you'll know the girl's name.

p.s.
RealTime 3D Render FUN file is also available !

[necromanthus]

The look of my KoolMoves section has changed.
objectives:
1) easy & faster navigation
(no more sophisticated 3D rotations)
2) smaller SWF (17KB instead of 36KB)
If you own a nice site (KM based only) and you wanna be in my "Hall of Fame",just give me a sign !
At this time,only BOB,HILARY and OWEN are there.

Dear Santa.

I have been a good boy this year.

Please dump the contents of Necro's brain on a CD rom set, and put the CDs in my stocking. I will leave out a pillowcase in case the stocking is too small.

Alternatively, just leave them at the foot of my bed.

Thank you

The recording was an impulse. I liked the way the bass boomed. The sound is simply a 300.00 fender guitar from mexico, plugged into a 29 dollar sound card and recorded on an old version of cakewalk. I could not tell you what key it is even in. I do have the original wave file. If you know how to make the sound better it would help me, but I do not want to buy a lot of equipment. (I do not even know how the set the levels). In Februray I plan on buying a new computer so I could start there. I would like to make loops that are not choppy and that do not take 5 minutes to load.

As for the site, I bought MX and have been learning it so I kinda have not been doing anything in Koolmoves at the moment. I will finish the link site this weekend.

I have an old project made in Flash 5 called "Flash Synthesizer".
If I'll get some spare time (next month),I'll rebuild this project using KoolMoves.
With this stuff you'll be able to compose a 3 minutes - 16 tracks - HiFi melody and less than 500KB (!).
Just remind me next year ...

I want to rewrite it because V6 has some powerfull new commands.
Also,if BOB can implement a Movie-Library for KM,a "KM Synthesizer" would be great for all of us ! ;)

[OwenAus]

Remus,

When you talk about a movie library, what exactly is it you are discussing?

Is it like a component? What makes it different from a loading a swf into a clip, or inserting a fun file?

Tmoore,

(Can we use your first name?) - that is great music.

A "Movie-Library" is a powerfull feature for Flash (and difficult to implement it too).
Is like a "bag" with objects (shapes,movies,sounds,etc).
You can ATTACH (import) objects from the "bag" without increasing the SWF size !!! (impossible in KM at this time).
I need this feature BADLY !

:mrpimp:

[OwenAus]

I need this feature BADLY !

Wooo. Don't we all!

* Has visions of a 30 byte empty swf loading instantly and competing with MS/Star office in functionality * :)

Okay, without increasing swf size - there has to be a trade-off surely, somewhere or the other? The parent file size doesn't increase, but there is a hidden overhead?

Is it like a flash-type dll, or an object library?

(Sorry to bug you with all these Qs.)

[necromanthus]

NO tricks at all,it's real !
Use KM and do the following:
- create a child-movie with a lot of graphic keyframes.
- export the SWF and check the file size.
- with "copy & paste", create another child-movie.
- check the SWF size again: allmost DOUBLED !
Using a Movie-Library the size is the SAME !
This is the huge difference.
Also: you'll be able to ATTACH "invisible" Objects.
and much more ...

[necromanthus]

I wasn't clear enough.Let's try again:

1) without Movie-Library,after "copy & paste" you'll get TWO movies
and TWO place assignments (double size for the selected object)
2) with Movie-Library,after "copy & paste" you'll get ONE movie
and TWO place assignments (the same size for the SWF).
Using KoolMoves,"copy & paste" in different keyframes generate the
same SWF size,but "copy & paste" in the same keyframe generate double
size for the selected object...and this is wrong !
The objects from the Movie-Library are exported in the SWF only if
you assign a name for the desired object.After that,you can use the
object several times (in the same keyframe or not) without increasing
the SWF size.
Also,a powerfull feature is ATTACH command:
mov.attachMovie("name","newname",depth);
snd.attachSound("name");
These commands are worthless without a Movie-Library.
a lot of things to do for BOB ...

[OwenAus]

lol. :doughnut: I think I am totally confused. I am even confused about whether I am confused .. :p

So in a sense, it makes the library movie a super-symbol, ie, it only stores the movie reference in one place in the finished swf, all in-frame instances are pointers to this - even multiple instances in one frame?

If so, the player works harder? For example, where there is, say, two instances of the movie in one frame, one "normal" and one rotated and shrunk, the player understands this, and handles the situation?

Anyhow, one thing I do know is that I am wasting your time with these Qs, seeing as it is all academic at the mo. But thanks for answering. :)

NO NO ... I was talking about the SWF file ONLY !
After the file is launched,the situation is different.
In your example (two objects,the second is rotated),in the SWF (Library featured) there's only the "content" of the first object and 2 assignments: for the "normal" one and for the second rotated.
The "real-time" process occures in your system RAM (not in the SWF).
cheers

[OwenAus]

Okay. I think I have a faint glimmer of what is going on.

Thanks, Remus. :)

[necromanthus]

I've no time for Flash these days,but I had few hours for Music lovers (and KM fans).
A cool miscelaneous example about sound objects and sliders.
3 tracks per melody at this time.
FUN file available (for the main program only) !

http://necromanthus.com/KoolMoves/SoundTracks.html
(can be accessed from my KoolMoves section too)

notes:
This is the MIXER part from my "Flash-Synthesizer".
All music tracks are Flash-MX featured
(small files,nice quality,MP3 & Z-lib compression).

Remus:

The Player is even nicer now, although it appears the "Balance" slider works the opposite way I would expect, i.e. moving the slider left should INCREASE the sound from the left speaker and REDUCE the sound from the right speaker. But I don't want to minimize your wonderful effort in anyway....this is a great piece of software. Did you compose the music as well?

I have been very busy lately and have not done much with KM, or any graphic software for a while, but I'm getting "itchy" - thanks for the reminder. I do have some ideas floating around.

I'm an old Amiga-Head and after many many years of false starts a new Amiga computer has finally been released and the new Amiga OS (AmigaOS4) will follow shortly in Feb. or March. Much of my "online time" recently has been spent following that story. Geees KM for the new Amiga...what a concept?

Like the new look of your site too!

I have been very busy lately and have not done much with KM, or any graphic software for a while, but I'm getting "itchy" - thanks for the reminder. I do have some ideas floating around.

I'm an old Amiga-Head and after many many years of false starts a new Amiga computer has finally been released and the new Amiga OS (AmigaOS4) will follow shortly in Feb. or March. Much of my "online time" recently has been spent following that story. Geees KM for the new Amiga...what a concept?

Like the new look of your site too!

Ha ha ha ... it was developed using my speakers position.
(you can interchange the variables from the "setVolume" command line.)
Amiga ?...in Europe the leader was Spectrum Sinclair.
Some new projects for this year ?
cheers

A custom preloader in KoolMoves ? Answer: YES !
This is a working preloader because there're no shapes and child-movies (?!?)
Everything is ActionScript generated !
You can modify the preloader design as you wish.
You can test it here: http://necromanthus.com/Test/prepelix.html
You can grab the FUN file from here: http://necromanthus.com/KoolMoves/preloader.html

p.s.
BOB,you owe me a buck for that !

Nice work, I'm thrilled to see that MX finally adds the line drawing commands!

But what does a user see who only has Flash 5 installed? Looks to me like he only sees a black screen...

What's generally the best way if I would like to make use of these MX AS commands, and at the same time make sure Flash 5 users get a warning that they need to upgrade?

Hi STEPHAN,
No problems at all !
All my HTML files have this "line":
codebase="http://download.macromedia.com/pub/shockwave/cabs/flash/swflash.cab#version=6,0,0,0"
In other words: FORCED upgrade in case of failure !
cheers
