I would like to suggest separating video and audio players.
I always dreamed about flash WYSIWYG editor, but thats probably too much...
I think chat window would be cool, cause U can use it as a chat, shoutbox, news panel, anything you want.
And...
see. there are many flash sites that shows fullscreen or fullwindow.
its very cool and id like to do the same, but i always have problems with resizing images... i doesnt look good, so maybe theres a way to add into MC's properties somehting like 'scaling yes/no'...
best regards
Being able to make exe or projector files that are windowless. I can upload an example if you want. Would be kinda similar to IceProjector
You can do this already.Quote:

I think that enhancements to the current components would be nice.
Expand the HTML abilities of ContentPane (If even possible)
Maybe preloader component to make it more customizable.
Before I do this, the projector is windowless?Quote:

I'll think on it..
And as for AntZ suggestion the mediaplayer can be set to only Audio or Video or both when making a skin.

Like a snap grid
I would love for a datagrind,Accordion menu,color picker, and exe
To my really I would like to draw in a frame two shapes different, to do by means of Motion Path for example a circle to change to square.
Yep you can put me down for those too.Quote:

There is a slider component but it currently isn't skinable. See KoolMoves / Examples / Components / Flash 8 / API.
I'm not sure if that would be easy to do as a component, or whether it would be a suitable KM-component at all, but I'd be interested in a kind of specialized video player that takes a video-swf plus a second swf and allows for a syncronized playback side by side.
The idea is that you can run the video, and time the playback of the other swf to provide additional info. A typical application area would be "web-lectures". You have a video of the professor's talk, and can supplement it with slides.
What's needed in the component is for instance a way to define the cue points (time-based?) for the video that are used to trigger the playback ("Play movie") of the second swf until it reaches its next "Stop movie" command. Alternatively, a cue point could also simply trigger a "Load and play movie" in the second swf, that way rudimentary support for non-KM swfs (e.g. those created from individual slides of a PowerPoint or OpenOffice presentation) is also possible.
I hope I described it reasonably well :)
All the best,
Stephan
Already can do this with the current mediaplayer as it supports onCuePoint commands.. You just need to embed the cuepoints in the FLV and then make a function to act upon them.
Hi Bret,
that sounds interesting.Quote:

There is a tool called FLV knife or something like that I believe. Not simple though, Flash has it built into it's encoder and you'll have to read up on how to use cuepoints as I haven't ventured into this as of yet. I intend to but alas time is at a premium at the moment.
I'd like to see the media player have the ability to put an image in the display when you select an mp3. Shoot, maybe you already can somehow. And maybe a form component.
The current player is very customizable and you could do this via the onPlay()This should provide you with the file name about to be played and you could load in a jpg or whatever into an empy mc that is placed over the mediaplayer.Quote:
onPlay (playlist index number, filename )
-----------------------------------------
Event triggered just before a new media
file starts playing.
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.
Just tried it out.....
Here's the code I used
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.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);
}

And it's very Kool!Quote:

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?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 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?Quote:

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

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

or in the frame .as:Code://Load JPG into player
mp3jpg = true;
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.Quote:

Changed the " _root.txt1.text=f " to _root.txt1.text=f.substr(0,p)+""; "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);
}
Here it is online:

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.:)Quote:
