Flash Battle :: Transitions

**>flashl!ght<** · 08-22-2005, 01:07 PM

Cool, I vote for preloading all at the start as well. I have an XML document like this:

code:



<transitions size="800x600" bg="0xFFFFFF" framerate="30">

	<trans file="transitions_v1.swf" bg="0x000000" author="flashl!ght" pause="500"/>

	<trans file="transitions_v2_admedia.swf" bg="0x583A70" author="admedia" pause="250"/>

	<trans file="transitions_v3_dricciotti.swf" bg="0xA20909" author="Dricciotti" pause="250"/>

	<trans file="transitions_v4_jaquan.swf" bg="0x0000A1" author="jAQUAN" pause="250"/>

	<trans file="transitions_v5.swf" bg="0xFF6600" author="flashl!ght" pause="0"/>

	<trans file="transitions_v6_admedia.swf" bg="0x80543A" author="admedia" pause="0"/>

</transitions>

ok, that's cool too xml / text...
one thing... I haven't worked with xml in flash, so you guys are on your own this way

....

You can just rename the files in the xml to their actual filenames, no? so we don't have to rename everything...

**>flashl!ght<** · 08-22-2005, 02:31 PM

Exactly. The 'file' can be whatever we want. I have downloaded all the vollies so far and named them as shown above, but that can be changed to whatever, it doesn't matter.

I have nothing in mind to use the 'author' as of yet, but figured I should stick that in there. And 'pause' adds a slight pause(14th to 1/2 second) between some of vollies, but we can work with that.

PS - I suggest learning XML in Flash, it's not complicated and gives you alot more power than a TXT file

Here's your first tip: you need to use XML.ignoreWhite=true for anything to work

My Volley
Transitions to #66CC00

**Im working on a more creative one for next time**

**admedia** · 08-22-2005, 03:31 PM

oooh... nicely done Dricotti, I like the minimal, yet interactive style, reminds me of flashlights initial volley, stylwise...

Thanks for the tip flashl!ght! Yea, I just haven't had a real-world need yet for XML handling in Flash, but yea, as I get more into using dynamic loads I am sure I will appreciate the extra power.

so adam, your up with the GREEN #66CC00 dude.

**>flashl!ght<** · 08-22-2005, 04:12 PM

Love it, Dric! This is starting to pick up

**EVPohovich** · 08-22-2005, 06:08 PM

You guys have the only really active thread in the Arena.....Keep it up!!

**jAQUAN** · 08-22-2005, 07:05 PM

I'll edit my volley when I get home tonight. It's just a tint.

**>flashl!ght<** · 08-22-2005, 07:11 PM

Thanks jAQUAN. Don't forget to edit the size(use edit multiple frames to resize entire document including all keyframes), and use nextTransition() at the end.

I know EVP. The photography forum is talking all the action apparently

**EVPohovich** · 08-22-2005, 07:31 PM

* holds out twinkie and waves it to lure Dricciotti into the Photography Forum *

**adamcrohill** · 08-23-2005, 03:50 AM

green eh? #66CC00 happens to be my favourite shade of green.....i'll get busy.......

**adamcrohill** · 08-23-2005, 08:28 AM

Well I have something, and its a monster!!!! seriously I got really bogged down with file size so if you dont want to use it you dont have to........
its 200kb (i know......)

can I have an e-mail address from someone so I can mail it (cant host myself)

next colour is #F9318F by the way.

oh, and If the file size is too big, let me know and I will figure out something less intense....

**admedia** · 08-23-2005, 08:54 AM

I PM'd you my email.

**adamcrohill** · 08-23-2005, 09:40 AM

sent you something

**adamcrohill** · 08-23-2005, 10:25 AM

Hi guys, I dont quite know how I managed to mess up three e-mails trying to get the swf to you - to re-cap the swf file to be used is called "battle" all others can be disregarded. sorry!!!!

Hmmm... I have 2 emails, the last one had a subject of volley and the attatchment was here_it_is.swf....

I put it in my server, is this one ok to link?

Ok, I'll just go ahead and link it.

Hehe, very clever

. Love it, you sneaky B.
Looks like the battle has gone pink on us boys

Just make sure I got the right one posted, if not, just send me the right one and I will replace it.

**adamcrohill** · 08-23-2005, 10:32 AM

ive just realised something else - i have output to flashplayer7. Admedia, would it be too much hassle to send you a new version. I will call it n00b.swf

**admedia** · 08-23-2005, 10:34 AM

go ahead... I'll just replace it...
volley posted.

**adamcrohill** · 08-23-2005, 10:38 AM

Ad - I have just done this. I think you may have problems with the file you have. n00b is the latest and greatest.
