**Dricciotti** · 08-20-2005, 02:26 AM

Haha... that's awesome Dricotti, love it. short and sweet.

nothing to be sorry about.

**Dricciotti** · 08-20-2005, 04:37 AM

I started to make a file to connect the three volleys. Admedia, yours appears to be calling the NextTransition() function a lot; could you look into that. Flashlight, yours doesent seem to have the function call in it at all so could you check that the posted version of your swf has it in there?

Thanks guys

[edit] Or just send me your .fla files so I can see whats up.

**>flashl!ght<** · 08-20-2005, 08:10 AM

Yup, mine doesn't have the nextTransition() call in it yet, as it was the first volley before I had the system figured out(although I had it in conceptualized). And admedia's, while I haven't even looked at it yet, has the multi calls because he put it in a child clip which is duplicated a number of times. The system will simply ignore multiple nextTransition() calls.

Connecting the vollies was a good idea, however jAQUAN really needs to fix his volley still. It's not the right size, I don't know about framerate, and he needs nextTransition() at the end and to take out the replay button.

I'm gone and away from the PC all day, but I will have something this evening if all goes smoothly.

Thanks for sticking with this people...

Yea, I put the function at the end of the eye movie, since there are 100 instances of that movie at the end I guess it calls nextTransition() 100 time simultaniously

.

Maybe I sould change how that works. Honestly though, I can't think of how right this second... I'll get back to you.

now that we have three volley's connected though, jAQUAN should use Dricottis end color if he wants it connected. Or if we want to work it in, someone could end on his start color and then someone could start with his end color...

**Dricciotti** · 08-20-2005, 01:00 PM

admedia, all you have to do is in the main timeline of your file have the NextTransition() function. Theres no need to have it inside of the "eyes" MC. Send me your .fla file if you cant figure it out though.

**>flashl!ght<** · 08-20-2005, 01:53 PM

I'm back early, so hopefully I'll have something soon.

1) don't worry about it admedia, I don't think we should be sending FLA's around just yet, it will get too confusing. The system will work fine with 100 transition calls in one frame. The reason why he couldn't put it at the end of his main timeline is because that wasn't the end of his transition, the end was on a sub-timeline. but if you want to fix it, just do this:
if(!_parent.trans){
_parent.trans = true;
nextTransition();
}
But like I said it doesn't matter.

2) Dricciotti already connected admedia and jAQUAN's voillies for color, now jAQUAN just needs to clean up his colley(correct size, remove reply, add nextTransition() ). We'll come back to that if need be, untill then I'm going to work on the next transition, starting with the blue color jAQUAN ended with. So we have:

1 - Flashl!ght #000000 black
2 - admedia #583A70 purple
3 - Dricciotti #A20909 red
4 - jAQUAN #0000A1 blue
5 - Flashl!ght [working]

**admedia** · 08-20-2005, 01:53 PM

yea, i think what I will do is instead of having NextTransition(); at the end of the eye movie I will just put _parent.nextFrame(); and put NextTransition(); on the next frame of the main timeline.

It will be easy for me. I'll look at it later.

Thanks.

That'll work too. Thanks.

flashl!ght, this is just a suggestion, you could start you transition with Dricotti's red ending color and end it with jAQUAN's red starting color, then I would start mine on jAQUAN's blue ending color making the order:

1 - Flashl!ght #000000 black
2 - admedia #583A70 purple
3 - Dricciotti #A20909 red
5 - Flashl!ght #A20909 -> #jAQUAN's red
6 - jAQUAN #0000A1 blue
7 - admedia ?

that way jAQUAN doesn't have to modify his colors.
or just do as you said, it doesn't matter. I hope I am not confusing this more.

**>flashl!ght<** · 08-20-2005, 03:38 PM

Thanks for the suggestion...
Well, Dricciotti's red is almost identical to jAQUAN's, it's #A20909 while jAQUAN's red is #A10000(I'm guessing he meant it to be exact, but there's a subtle change when the squares come in to view that he probably picked from). So it will serve as a transition. If Dricciotti wants to tweak it to be exact, that's great, but I'm ready to take on blue. Red to red just isn't a transition

So, trying to clarify, here's what it is:

1 - flashl!ght - white(#FFFFFF) -> black(#000000)
2 - admedia - black(#000000) -> purple(#583A70)
3 - Dricciotti - purple(#583A70) -> red (#A20909)
4 - jAQUAN - red(#A10000) -> blue(#0000A1)
5 - flashl!ght - blue(#0000A1) -> [working]
6 - admedia - ...

dricciotti, i like your transition- especially the first bit- t'is cool

**Dricciotti** · 08-20-2005, 04:27 PM

I changed mine to #A10000. Things are shaping up nicely now

**>flashl!ght<** · 08-20-2005, 05:08 PM

(very abrupt color change too, I had meant to do something cooler with the lined up boxes, but ran out of time)

Very nice!

I guess it's back to me... I am going out to enjoy myself for the night.
I'll try and get something on tomorrow.

Only the first one (white to black) is showing up for me on the link you gave.
