[08:00] <b00gie> how do I make a simple logo thats in a jpg into a vector image so I can make
[08:01] <b00gie> its simple, but would take ages to trace out etc... not that I know how to u
[08:03] <Snae> Erase the background, swift3d probably will render the logo without background
[08:04] <gencha> the word "simple" has no place in making a 2d image into a 3d mesh
[08:04] <gencha> and if it has, "crap" can be used to describe the result
[08:04] <Snae> Im guessing he means a flat logo...
[08:05] <b00gie> yer a flat logo
[08:05] <b00gie> but like, just think of a circle with words that arch around the outside
[08:10] <b00gie> meh looks like ima have to trace witha mouse. this is gonna suck hardcore.
[08:31] <geestring> can someone help me out and download these source files for this tutorial
[08:32] <geestring> try and use that form on your own server and see if it works....
[08:32] <geestring> for some reason it sends me like 60 emails on one click.
[08:32] <geestring> I am trying to figure out if its my server.
[08:35] <Snae> "Be aware that Flash alone is incapable of sending email."
[08:35] <Snae> This is not completely true with as3.
[08:39] <SHiZNiT> because you have a frame loop?
[08:40] <SHiZNiT> :)
[08:43] <geestring> no, I put stops on my version.
[08:43] <geestring> and the tutorial files should be ok
[08:43] <geestring> i'm using php, just to mess around with the integration. however it is no
[09:03] <geestring> err also i dont even think the loadVars is working. the emails that are s
[11:06] <geestring> so there shouldnt be a semicolon at the end of a function correct?
[11:06] <geestring> } not };
[11:07] <Snae> Right.
[11:09] <geestring> why doesnt flash give me an error when i have a };?
[11:09] <Snae> as2?
[11:09] <geestring> yea
[11:35] * vap0rware is now known as vaporware
[11:45] <ShrtRound> does anyone know how I can give a more smooth effect to http://pastebin.c
[11:45] <ShrtRound> for a side-scroller
[11:46] <ShrtRound> or a good scrolling script
[11:49] <ShrtRound> anyone?
[11:50] * _jiffe is now known as jiffe
[11:53] <Snae> Hn?
[11:53] <Snae> Standard sidescroller?
[11:54] <Snae> Smooth... smooth... i remember something.
[11:58] <Snae> http://www.webmonkey.com/webmonkey/03/27/index3a_page4.html?tw=multimedia
[11:58] <Snae> Best i could find for now.
[12:18] <al-x> heh all those webmonkey articles were written in the 90s
[12:20] <Snae> So? It has basic stuff... like smooth movement by easing.
[12:24] <noclone> use tweener
[12:24] <noclone> or the robert penner equations for tween
[12:25] <noclone> is so much easier and diferent tweens
[12:25] <NiB> but it doesn't help much for scrolling
[12:26] <noclone> in gotoAndLearn.com
[12:26] <noclone> there is one tutorial for scrolling
[12:26] <noclone> is very goodone
[12:27] <noclone> http://gotoandlearn.com/player.php?url=scrolling_panel.flv&width=640&height
[12:27] <noclone> I hope that helps
[12:29] <NiB> it use exactly the same technic as the link he pasted
[12:29] <noclone> really?
[12:29] <noclone> let me cheht the link
[12:30] <noclone> is because he is using ++ and -- that is why there is no smooth
[12:30] <NiB> on enterframe, compute distance between actual position and final position, div
[12:30] <NiB> yes
[12:30] <NiB> http://www.webmonkey.com/webmonkey/03/27/index3a_page4.html?tw=multimedia
[12:31] <NiB> he pasted that
[12:31] <NiB> it use the same technic as http://gotoandlearn.com/player.php?url=scrolling_pan
[12:31] <NiB> on enterframe, compute distance between actual position and final position, div
[12:36] <geestring> what are my options. when my button is pressed I have an onEnterframe exe
[12:37] <geestring> i need the If statement inside the onEnterFrame to continually see if res
[12:37] <NiB> a tween class, events (onMotionComplete), a callback function...
[12:38] <NiB> or simply delete the onEnterFrame event when resizing==done
[12:39] <geestring> what about while loops... wont it just loop until the condition is met?
[12:40] <NiB> sure... but it's ugly too.... the best way would be to use a tween class...adob
[13:04] * _Cuda is now known as Cuda
[13:40] <pazu> hi
[13:40] <pazu> i want to center a 2000px flash into a 800px div, can it be done
[14:22] * Ize is now known as ize
[15:06] <geestring> i designed my flash site for 1024x768 resolution... however its not reall
[15:08] <al-x> depends on who's looking at it
[15:11] <geestring> its a site for my cousins garage. younger demographic.
[15:11] <geestring> ricers
[15:12] <Snae> humn
[15:20] <phreeride> Hi Guys, I'm bit unclear on H.264 support for the Flash Player 9... Do I
[15:20] <al-x> geestring: then i wouldn't worry too much
[16:07] <mrbradhom> someone here knows a easy skinnable video player?
[17:03] <xastey> mrbradhom you there?
[17:03] <mrbradhom> ya
[17:04] <xastey> http://www.jeroenwijering.com/?item=JW_FLV_Player
[17:04] <xastey> free one
[17:05] <mrbradhom> is it good?
[17:05] <mrbradhom> is it easy to skin?
[17:06] <Snae> It's good, don't remember about skinning.
[17:07] <mrbradhom> ok thansk
[17:09] <Snae> http://www.jeroenwijering.com/?item=Supported_Flashvars -> It seems you can
[19:28] <geestring> how do i associate a onClipevent through actionscript without actually pl
[19:36] <geestring> i have this flash php form. the onclipevent(data) is supposed to be place
[19:51] <paullaste> mc.onEnterframe
[19:51] <paullaste> depends on what call u want
[19:51] <paullaste> mc.onPress
[19:52] <paullaste> push F1
[19:52] <paullaste> if ppl pushed f1 instead of asking here then nothing would never be said
[19:53] <paullaste> the chat has been cut back since 10 years ago.. i guess more ppl know wha
[19:53] <geestring> ?
[19:58] <paullaste> also when you make a data call through php use the callback
[19:58] <paullaste> u almost always want to
[19:58] <paullaste> so u can check for success or not
[19:58] <paullaste> then do from that
[19:59] <paullaste> movieClipLoader to loadVars all have callback that should fit ur needs
[19:59] <geestring> yea thats what i essentially want... after the user sends the loadVArs i
[19:59] <geestring> oh im alrdy using loadvars
[20:00] <paullaste> it has a onLoad call
[20:00] <paullaste> onData too
[20:00] <paullaste> XML also has a the same function
[20:00] <geestring> where do i place that?
[20:01] <paullaste> push f1 working samples in ther
[20:01] <paullaste> its attached to your loadVars
[20:02] <geestring> form.onData = function(){}...
[20:04] <geestring> this is what i have when the user clicks the send button, form.loadVariab
[20:04] <paullaste> if form is your loadVars object
[20:04] <paullaste> ur using the old one
[20:04] <paullaste> use the shorter new one
[20:04] <geestring> let me check it out
[20:04] <paullaste> loadVars
[20:05] <paullaste> thats old flash its has served me well but the new one will do more what
[20:11] <geestring> so... var form:LoadVars = new LoadVars(); form.sendAndLoad("email.php
[20:11] <geestring> if (success) { blah blah "sent" blah ??
[20:11] <geestring> does that look right?
[20:13] <paullaste> copy it from the help file and run it.. they dont lie in there
