Re: My Wishlist for Flash
I second all of these. If we had access to all of these it would be fantastic.
I too have been hanging around lots of Flash dev sites that focus on the monetizing aspect of the games. One thing I can safely say is that the games that we all make with MMF2 are quite often vastly superior to what the Flash devs are making and we can make them in half the time! With these extensions it may make some Flash devs have a good think about using MMF2.
For those interested in making the most from your games, i'd suggest you read this blog
Re: My Wishlist for Flash
I second these suggestions, too :)
Re: My Wishlist for Flash
I'm third and I would like to open API for Flash so we could make proper extensions for example for Polish*companies.

Re: My Wishlist for Flash
Awesome suggestions. Hopefully these features will eventually find their way into MMF2. :)
Re: My Wishlist for Flash
Good ideas, although i can't help but think a general API extension which you could customize to use all sorts of APIs would be the best thing. That way if others happened that were good it would mean people could always set something up for them rather than needing a extension developer.
Same idea with any flash librarys, i would rather a action script coding extension so you could just code it yourself along the lines of Lua or python etc. Kongregate seems to have a AS3 API so you could probably setup APIs through a actionscript extension also. That way it means there is no waiting around for them as it would allow people to make and share things.
Re: My Wishlist for Flash
This is a game made by Cecil (coding) and myself (graphics) on Kongregate. I think it could benefit very much with a Kongregate API :D
Re: My Wishlist for Flash
Since when did Cecil's snake get a graphical revamp? ._ .

Re: My Wishlist for Flash
Flashed version of Box2D! So many flash games have physics in them now.

Has Daniel or Jonas pronounced about Box2D for flash already?
Re: My Wishlist for Flash
I doubt it, it's definitely possible, but I've looked into Box2d for flash, and it would take an immense amount of work and pretty much a complete recoding of the extension.
Re: My Wishlist for Flash
Box2D is definitely not required for flash at this early stage. Before that is considered, there is a much bigger need for a Pathfinding extension for Flash.
Re: My Wishlist for Flash
There is a AS3 box2d library available which is one of the main reasons i hope clickteam has a AS3 coding object at some point that can use library's. I have used various of these with non clickteam coding apps and they work great so it really would allow for so much new things to be done then in my opinion.
I think it would be better for developers also because rather than just using existing stuff you have to make a object for each thing you want. That of course would be loads of work and there is lots of cool library's available now for things like advanced maths, physics and 3d etc.
Re: My Wishlist for Flash
That's easy enough to do, the problem lies in making a C++ version, because Actionscript doesn't work until you export
Re: My Wishlist for Flash
I would be happy with a general AS3 API for the exporter; it's so tantalising being able to decompile the exported SWFs and wondering how much trouble it would be to hook into the code and recompile it (answer = alot)!
Instead of hassling ClickTeam for a (understandably) never-ending wish-list for specific requirements, a general API would allow others to develop for their own requirements and for other users if there is enough demand.
I am surprised and grateful that the Mochi extensions have been provided free of charge; it is something that many publishers would have charged a substantial premium for (i.e. you are going to make money from this, and I want a cut), and I think that it is generous for ClickTeam to have provided them as a freebie with what is, essentially, a first bug-fix release.
ClickTeam will never be able to please everyone, so a general API would be a good start (so we can please ourselves), and then perhaps specific upgrades (Kongregate, CPMStar, etc) as and when possible.
My final comment is that MMF2 + SWF Exporter is an absolute steal at the current price.
Thank you ClickTeam!
Re: My Wishlist for Flash
I'd like to add -
1) Editbox that stays the correct size
2) Editbox that doesn't make the cursor turn into a caret or whatever when hovering over an Active System Box
Villy fixed the other bugs I reported (I think it was him) about the Edit box but I still need those two.
