We are just waiting for Dricotti's final volley.Quote:

Waiting for the final volley from Dricciotti, and we'll give him time. Then I have to put it all together, but I've partially already done that and been tracking things along the way to make sure it will be easy, so that shouldn't take long. I would say it'll be up the same day as Dricciotti's volley, and I expect his volley in a day or 2[EDIT] No problem Dricciotti, whenever you have it is cool. You have the last volley, so take your time.[/EDIT].
While I'm here, any thoughts on the preloader? I'm thinking a minimalistic 11 sqaures, each one colored based on the transition, they 'pop' onscreen as it loads - or it could be a plain bar, so one has to discover the colors as they come - then a 'click to play' plain text button after it loads. And perhaps a 'press [A] to show transition author' or something.

No worries, it's all working smoothly now, and in time, so it doesn't matter to me :)
Mine might be another day or two. I didnt like the first one I made and now Im swamped with work.
For the proloader, I was fooling around and made on with 11 rectangles that fade from light gray to their color as they get loaded. Also, when its done preloading, have it pause on the screen with all the colors on it and have each person name somwhere in relation to the color their volley started (or ended) with.
Im going to be way to busy this upcoming weekend so Ill just post the one I already had. I ended in white to bring things full circle. Lets put this all together. PM sent to >flashl!ght< with link.
do I smell an infinite loop??
do infinite loops smell like bacon?
now I'm hungry :(
I just thought maybe since it started and ended in white you might want to link the last one to the first.....just a thought
rollCanvas anyone? hehe :)
While I am way too busy I decided to write this up anyways. Put it in the maintimeline and just let it fly. Click the mouse to simulate a clip being finished loading. Just a thought...code:
colors = ["FAFAFA", "000000", "583A70", "A20909", "0000A1", "FF6600", "80543A", "66CC00", "F9318F", "FFFF00", "CC6600"];
createEmptyMovieClip("rect0", 1);
wide = 30;
tall = 80;
xstart = 50;
ystart = 100;
spacing = 5;
rect0.beginFill(0xE7E7E7, 100);
rect0.lineStyle(0, 0x000000, 50);
rect0.lineTo(wide, 0);
rect0.lineTo(wide, tall);
rect0.lineTo(0, tall);
rect0.lineTo(0, 0);
rect0.endFill();
rect0._x = xstart;
rect0._y = ystart;
for (i=1; i<colors.length; i++)
{
duplicateMovieClip("rect0", "rect"+i, i+1);
_root["rect"+i]._x = xstart+i*(wide+spacing);
_root["rect"+i]._y = ystart;
}
beginLoad(0);
function beginLoad(current)
{
//load movie code
_root["rect"+current].onEnterFrame = function()
{
this._alpha -= 10;
if (this._alpha<=0)
{
delete this.onEnterFrame;
var myColor = new Color(_root["rect"+current]);
myColor.setRGB("0x"+_root.colors[current]);
this.dir = 1;
this.onEnterFrame = fadeIO;
}
};
//replace with onLoad script
_root.onMouseDown = function()
{
_root["rect"+current].onEnterFrame = null;
var myColor = new Color(_root["rect"+current]);
myColor.setRGB("0x"+_root.colors[current]);
_root["rect"+current]._alpha = 100;
if (current<_root.colors.length-1)
{
beginLoad(current+1);
} else
{
i = 0;
control = setInterval(function ()
{
_root["rect"+i].onEnterFrame = goDown;
if (++i>_root.colors.length)
{
clearInterval(control);
}
}, 100);
}
};
}
function fadeIO()
{
this._alpha += 5*this.dir;
if ((this._alpha>=100) || (this._alpha<=0))
{
this.dir *= -1;
}
}
function goDown()
{
this._yscale -= 6;
if (this._yscale<-10)
{
delete this.onEnterFrame;
this._yscale = -10;
}
}
Dricciotti! Loved the last volley dude! Sure, some of the technical precision could be smoothed out, but I think it's a really well done last volley. The rest of you have to wait to see it :)
I got to run, but I'll be back, and hopefully have it up tonight.
Your code looks tight! Love that it's all dynamic... I would probably even use it, except I already made something :/ might still use it anyways, haven't put mine to work yet, so it might blow up(not an uncommon occurence when I code something!) and in that case I'll try yours out.

Yup, infinite loop was an idea :)
Stay tuned people!
yeesh, got to head out again, but I threw it together best I can. Let me know if it works. Since the system was set up to removeMovieClip() transitions when they were complete, looping required reloading them all. So that's all it does: goes back to the start and reloads just like when you first go there, only it doesn't show the preloader, cause it should all be cached and load fast anyway. Anybody interested in seeing my FLAs just let me know here, otherwise please use the new thread for comments:
