Flash Impovements? How?

[Switch]

Hmm, is it me, or did whoever made the newsletter make a mistake?

Who KNOWS about how to even script flash into the game.

*Waits for reply*
Exactly, no one.

Stefan, how about telling us how to script it in, commands ect.?

[Chompy]

Uhm, it's actually pretty easy to make it, it's explained pretty well on the wiki, but as you stated in another thread, you don't like the wiki

PHP Code:

with(findimg(200)) {
  flashfile = "flash.swf";
  x = 10, y = 15;
  layer = 4;
  //wee, can play around with the flash too :o
  flash.getLayer(0).alpha = 0.99;
} 


You can use other method as well as GuiShowImgCtrl or GuiFlash

PHP Code:

new GuiFlash("Flash_file") {
  x = 7;
  y = 24;
  moviefile = "flash.swf";
  loopmovie = false;
  requiresactivex = false;
  tryactivex = true;

  playmovie();
} 


And, there is also threads in the scripting forums

Kay xD

It's not that I don't like the Wiki it's just confusing to me.

M!ke and I wanted to know and I didn't think there were threads since it's v5 improvements, so... yeah. xD thanks

PHP Code:

new GuiFlash("Flash_file") {
[stuff that I understand]
} 


"Flash_file" is that meaning that the following is for a flashfile or the filename goes there?

No, that's a name I gave the control

[Switch]

Ohh so I can name it anything like "Flash1" then name another "Flash2" and so on?

[Chompy]

Yeah

[Switch]

thanks chompinator

what i want to know is if it's possible to communicate like send and recieve variables to and from the graal client into flash and vice versa?

[Admins]

There is
guicontrol.setFlashVariable(varname,value)

And flash games can do fscommand("event",commaparams) which is invoking an event "onEvent", e.g.
function MyFlashGame.onEvent(params) { ... }
commaparams is a string, parameters connected with comma, e.g. "1,2,3"

When the wiki is back up, I'm gonna work on making it a little more user friendly. Any input would be of help

excellent! As far as i know Flash won't work for users on Macintosh. Is there a graal script function to detect the presence of a Flash player on the user's machine? Also when getting the platform a user is using, i know "win" is for windows. I don't have Linux or Macintosh, so i don't know if the output when getting the platform from a user on Linux is just "lin" and Macintosh just "mac"?? Thanks.

PHP Code:

if (player.platform in {"win", "linux"}) 


... for if the player is using Windows or Linux.

PHP Code:

if (player.platform == "mac") 


... for if the player is using a Mac.
