Ideas for new components

Just tried it out.....

Here's the code I used

Code:

---

mediaplayer1.onPlay=function(n,f){
        //_root.txt1.text=f;
        p=f.lastIndexOf(".");
        f=f.substr(0,p)+".jpg";
        _root.txt1.text=f
        _root.mc2.loadMovie(f);
        }

---

I had a text field so I could see the file name for testing, and a movieclip on the stage called mc2 then made a couple of simple images saved as the same name as the mp3 files with an jpg extension.

Wilbert modified the components code and sent to Bob G. to enable an image to associated
with the mp3 file. The next version of KoolMoves will have the code addition.

And it's very Kool!

Code:

---

mediaplayer1.onPlay=function(n,f){
        //_root.txt1.text=f;
        p=f.lastIndexOf(".");
        f=f.substr(0,p)+".jpg";
        _root.txt1.text=f
        _root.mc2.loadMovie(f);
        }

That's Kool too Blanius! Is there a way to have the text field remove the file extension? By the way, what is that music?

I added the extension for testing.... So just put it in the text field before adding the .jpg

The music is from a guy that does free music. Can't remember the website right now.

My solution is a bit alike Bret.

I added a parameter to the component that when set to true makes the media player search for a jpg file (same base name, different extension like you did) when the media file is a fd or mp3 file. The difference is that my code loads the image into the display of the media player and clears it before a new media file is loaded. If I understood Bob correctly he will add the parameter to the gui so KM users can decide if they want this behaviour or not.

Not sure what you mean. Is there a way to get it to subtract the .jpg automatically when it loads into the text field, like "filename-.jpg" or something?

Yeah, that's it. So how do I do that?

Never mind. You put it into the component load.as:

Code:

---

//Load JPG into player
mp3jpg = true;

---

or in the frame .as:

Code:

---

mediaplayer1.mp3jpg = true;

---

I couldn't figure out how to put it in the display... :) good addition to the player though.

Thanks. Won't work without Wilbert's kc8.fun. But I figured out how to get the .jpg out of the textbox.

Code:

---

mediaplayer1.onPlay=function(n,f){
    p=f.lastIndexOf(".");
    f=f.substr(0,p)+".jpg";
    _root.txt1.text=f.substr(0,p)+"";
    _root.mc2.loadMovie(f);
}

---

Changed the " _root.txt1.text=f " to _root.txt1.text=f.substr(0,p)+""; "

Here it is online:

BetaMusicTest

Hi, sorry for digging up this old thread, however, im workin' on Ken Burns Effect slideshow, and its a pain in the ass... a KBE, 3d box and a, hm, dropping polaroid photos... 3 effects, KBE and 3d are extremly easy, however, these falling polaroids may be a lot of code... but it would make things a lot easier.

I vote for a GRID.

Has there been any new enhancements to the script editor on the new version?

Don't expect new components to appear in the near future.
Creating a basic set of AS3 components is more important at the moment.

I would be willing to assemble a AS3 game for beta to see if it works. I am no expert but I never was one with AS2 or 1.:)
