It would be nice to know if koolexchange stuff is being used by people after they download it. Can we ask people to post a link if they use code?
Some people have put in enormous amounts of effort to get code on the site and its good to get them feedback.
Steve
Duplicate post. This forum is acting funny sometimes.
I meant to say something...but forgot what it was. Oh yeah...wasn't this thread pinned? Are we using it too much?
Steve as a fellow Englishman I can only agree, I have always made a point of thanking contibutors for their help - see forum guidelines for explanation.Quote:

Ditto, but I have a small confession to make....
I loaded up your 6 page template so thanks :-) its cool but I havnt used it as yet.
I would always say thanks to anyone for code I took (I did with the calendar on my front page for example) or I would feel bad about it and I always thank people on the forum too.
As you say - perhaps its a Brit thing - we would thank someone for treading on us - and then apologise for saying it :-)
Having said all that I do think KE is a good idea and I will throw in more stuff as I do it.

Only time I usually hear from anyone for any of my stuff is when they can't get it to work.
I had a whopping three users help me test a forum submission it's taken me three weeks to build. I'm not tripping over myself to give it away with that kind of disinterest.
Bob says we have thousands of users...let them take the ball and run. If the userbase is leaving you swinging...return the favor ;)
Take a break Stoke...you got some in...Bret...Steve....anyone else listed there. Let some of the thousands drop a few in and enjoy your copy of Koolmoves for a change instead of dedicating it to them ;)
Their indifference is cause for a vacation :thumbsup: Personally I've been putting everything else off for the sake of the Exchange and really have to get things into perspective as you mention.
I'm zeroing my board tonight (deleting all test and build posts). Thank you to Stoke, Godlike and Blanius for the help testing it. You are all ranked for the trouble.
Ok Chris see you in the pub! - will be bringing me own mug, still having a problem with shared objects!
Steve sent you a PM maybe something of interest there for you.
Sounds good Stoke. Try out the new Edit ability. Sorry to have lost your introduction but I slightly changed how the editor deals with text for the Edit function and it had to go since it can't read the old posts.

If it's the one the board sets...login and it will reset it...Just tested it.
HUH...I have no PM from Steve...................?
Those are some sick hit counts Stoke! Hahaha....
Since you do this for a living...it's really selfless you have been kind enough to submit templates at all. The hit counts confirm you know what you're doing too ;)
Steve I didn't know of until he submitted but he's obviously on top of his game too and I really like that type of code (as you know) so he's going to be another name to watch (we'll PUB him if he stops by too).
You are not going mad - he meant he had sent ME one - missing the ',' somewhere

NY is a bit far for a beer Chris :-)
Thanks Chris, but I'm no flash programmer - I'm actually an embedded C guy. That's why I find it more natural to write most of it in script. I only do what I need to for my site and learned most of that from you
Fun though:-)

Hahaha...no need...I quit drinking long agoQuote:

The PUB is a private forum at my site we just started. Anyone related to Koolmoves the platform officially, beta testers (ones I know of...some I don't) and Koolmoves Exchange contributers are being invited in whenever I encounter one who has registered. It's just a place we can talk privately about our upcoming code, plans or thoughts on Koolmoves and how it relates to us. I zeroed the board last night (emptied the posts we used while testing)since the forum build is done (structure) so the forums are quite empty at the moment but since there is no place outside of the support forum for users to gather privately...I figured I would offer it. I have open forums for all users...but that one is for us.
Whether code of mine spurred your interest in the field or not....you have an awesome grasp of the program. That's all you bro ;)
The shared objects was a joke, Chris you mentioned about them in a post to me about the forum, so the joke was about not sharing objects, I'll bring me own!
So no problem Blanius, no you didn't miss any thing!
See you in the pub too.
Ok now I get it :DQuote:

lol have fun.....
Hey Drew....any way to get my hands on that bottom PNG? I'll credit you of course. I specifically like the orange bottom half of that lower graphic (the orange Koolmoves user half). May I slice that out for the bars in the forum? That's pretty good looking branding IMHO ;)
Hey...they disappeared ! Huh?
I'm going to submit any code I get requested at my forum so everyone gets the use of it. I submitted a small example of one of the ways to create continuous scrolling background images that a user asked for.
I also mispelled continuous in the download cuz eym dum ;) (and I submitted before having coffee on a Sunday...a big no-no). Could I get a moderator to hold my hand and fix my spelling? Thanks in advance!

FYI, version 5.6 will add compression to the fun file. Either regular or compressed with open in KoolMoves.
I personally found myself wishing we had better alignment routines similar to other flash programs I use while building this board. It just takes so much longer to get everything in place without choices like these:

I'll glady pay you tuesday for a spellcheck at the Exchange today!
I don't know what it is..but the harder I try to make sure everything is spelled right with my submission descriptions, the more I screw up. Why is it I always notice right after I hit submit but before the text disappears. God is cruel at times ;)
As Kool exchange approaches 5000 downloaded examples I would like to congratulate and thank all contributors.
Im here just to say that KoolExchange doesn't work in Opera :(
and the good news is, i want to put there some of my obviousely primitive cliparts (the best uses 4 shapes) :]
I just downloaded the latest version of Opera to verify this but it worked fine.
thats strange, ive got opera 9 with newest flah plugin and it doesnt work. ill check the settings, maybe thatll help.
Good luck with the Exchange. myBBS is my last planned submission :thumbsup:
EDIT: What better way to go out than with a bang. Flashkit chose myBBS for this weeks featured movie.

It's nice to be recognized. Thanks Flashkit!!
