Hi all,
I just checked my calendar and realized that I will not have
any time in the upcomign week to create something cool for
this competition. I am terribly sorry for that. What I have is
a really unfinished prototyp of just testing some very basic
motion. Had something in my head - but I simply cannot manage
to finish it in time.
That's why I call it WIP (work in progress). Sorry for that guys.

You can click on it to activate a fish-eye view (that's the part of
magnification). The shader was slightly modified by me - the
orginal author is frank reitberger. I wanted to extend and
code my own - but again ... no time :skint:
@Shocky:
How about activating the [ flash ] tag so that the flash movie
is shown within the post ?
-
Brownian motion :)
This takes me back to the science lab when I was at school. Thanks for supporting the challenge mate.
I will look into allowing flash Benny :)

Yup, that was my initial intension - to simulate something
like a look through a stethoscope ...
Well, in the next comp I need to start earlier ...
I will look into allowing flash Benny :)
That would be really cool!
-
Nice one!! :)
-
@Ferris:
Thx, mate!
@Shocky:
Any news about embedding/showing flash files directly. Should be able
to configure via SMF admin panel or so ? Or are there any concerns
about security/stability regarding embedding flash content ?
-
I don't think it's as simple as that Benny.
I need to look for a modification that does it, as standard the only html allowed is;
* <b>, <u>, <i>, <s>, <em>, <ins>, <del>
* <a href="">
* <img src="" alt="" />
* <br />, <hr />
* <pre>, <blockquote>

@Shocky:
Ahh ... just thought that because there exists a Flash BB-Tag
for Flash it would be easy......ohhh ... googled a bit ....
could you have a look at, please ?
"Admin -> Edit Features and Options -> Embed Flash into posts"
Maybe this is what we wanted.
But again, if this causes you too much trouble it is not worth
the effort. Personally, I would find it very cool to directly
embed some flash movies (maybe for tutorials, too)... but please
don't spend too much time on it just because of me.
-
This does not exist in the admin console sorry.
"Admin -> Edit Features and Options -> Embed Flash into posts"
The flash bbcode tag is enabled though, I just checked, feel free to try it.
-
That's not Brownian motion - it's all blue and white :)
Cool entry. The interactivity adds an extra layer of depth.
Does Flash 9/10 have the ability to export as an executable?
-
@ck0:
Cannot say for sure. I could imagine that Flash CS3/4 (the IDE) has
an Export-Function which says export as exe. This simply means AFAIK
they package your player and your SWF file.
But I only use free opensource tools for my Flash stuff yet. (FlashDevelop
and the free Flex3.0 SDK to be precise). So, I cannot tell for sure.
However, I saw numerous application around (free-, shareware) that
wraps your SWF around the flash player and wrapped this all into an
windows exe.
-
I see. Flash 8 has the ability to export directly into a .exe file, but it is called "Windows projector" which, as you said, is a package containing the .swf and the Flash player.
I didn't know there were open source flash developer programs - I'll let my students know so that they can download them and use them at home.
I still can't get my head around how you did that magnifying effect - brilliant.
-
This has got a lot of potential - too bad you don't have a bit more time, Benny.
If you just replace the filled circled by alpha-blended sprites with some microscopic textures (google helps (http://images.google.de/images?hl=de&client=firefox-a&rls=org.mozilla:de:official&hs=g8v&um=1&q=microscopic&sa=N&start=0&ndsp=21)) I can imagine it looking pretty slick already.
Don't know if that's even possible with flash, though...
-
I'd use Fireworks to put the texture onto a PNG image, then import it into flash as a rasterized bitmap.
It would work.
-
You can do a lot better Benny, I hope you have some more free time for the next compo :)

Thanks a lot for your feedback. Much appreciated. The idea is very good. And
alpha-blending should be possible with Flash. Well, if time permits I will have a
go ...

Yup, the flash SWF format itself is open source. Then Adobe offers a free
Flex SDK and there are a lot of open source projects producing good tools.
If you are on Windows, I really recommend FlashDevelop as the IDE. It is
really good.

Yup, I hope it too.

mhhhhh... runy very slow here and dont really get the fx as on screenshot... so its okayish... ^^

Nop, doesnt seem to work. I wrapped the flash on my first post in this thread
with the FLASH tags but I does not seem to work. :(
-
I will have a look for a modification to do it then Benny, pity that the tag did not work.
-
I worked out why that tag was not working, you can do it from now on, in fact you can see the .swf working in your top post now.
-
Yeah. How cool is that. Thanks a lot Shocky. Personally I really
do like this feature to directly show embedded Flash files within
a post.

Nice entry for a WIP. Great info on FOSS Flash in this thread too, thanks!
