Flash Player 10 :)
Added external interface callbacks for DizzyDoo.
This allows you to register callback for javascript functions which can even allow you to use the right mouse button. I hope Dizzy will make an example for it ;)

Thank You!
I'm just wondering if my request will be fulfilled soon.
Well, I will add it but it would take some time - this took about 5 minutes - plus, DizzyDoo suggested this feature a while ago already! As you know, my priority is Box2D right now :)
Yea I know, just checking you know :)
I overestimated that a bit, actually. It was pretty easy.

The "Select object" action should now work with most default objects and also "External Files Plus" by Pharanygitis.
Besides, there's a new "Select extension" action. This expects you to enter the variable name of the sprite in the source code.. sounds complex, but you just have to ask the developer and he will tell you. Before using this action, try "Select object". It actually tries a couple of them automatically (Common ones are "displayObject", "sprite", "display"...).
For example, I asked StephenL about FlashExternalFiles and it uses the variable names loader1, loader2, loader3, loader4.
So you could do:
Select extension [FlashExtFiles], fields "loader1,loader2"
To select the first two external images.
I <3 U :)
It works with External Files Plus but not with StephenL ones (at least does which I poses) but it works and that's the best thing... now just figure out how to get skew working!
Sorry I didn't test it with StephenL's because I couldn't find it and didn't want spend too much time with it.
Skewing is not that easy but maybe this link helps you:

Here it is:

But thanks for the link I will try some attempts with that one :)
Edit (after reading the article):
In Photoshop Perspective and Skewing are doing almost the same effect but from what I see this one here may not work as I would like it to work. I will probably PM you later on Today, but still I will have a play around with it.
edit:
to rephrase my previous question better;
at the moment i can only get flash fx to scale the application from the top left corner, as if the "hot spot" of the application was 0,0
i want to zoom the whole application, but locked on to the centre of the 640x480 frame (i.e @ 320x240)
is this possible?
Can someone help me? I can't seem to activate fullscreen, no matter what I do
Just wondering if there has been any changes/fixes made recently which would allow this (scaling also app preloader)?Quote:

Some of his other objects like Sound Player, Sound Generator and Surface should maybe be posted on this forum area also as they are not finished.
I am guessing after Box2D is released then Flash Fx and the other extensions will be updated/finished.
Atom is correct.
TedBoomerang, did you update the HTML file that is generated when you build your app? I put a patch in the zip that allows Flash to go fullscreen by specifying a parameter in the html code.
sound....generator?? I have GOT to see this :O
also, I'll try changing the html first chance I get later

With the last update Sound Generator would not work correctly here though. The Sound player still seems to work fine and i am guessing this will be fixed later after Box2D is done.
By the way, the download link in the original post is broken :o
I know... hooray for UBBthreads :)

I've made a very quick shader+example for Hempuli - basically it acts like the sine offset setting of the Perspective object.
The zip includes the mfa, compiled shader, and its source code.
The result can be seen here:

Doesn't run very well on older PCs, I'm afraid.
To write your own shaders you will need PixelBender. It's pretty similiar to HLSL and can also be used for more complex non-realtime things in Photoshop and After Effects, so give it a shot.
holy crap that is cool.
looki ftw¬!!!!!!
I found a strange bug -
When you have 'Transform mouse' checked in FlashFx's settings, MMF2 is unable to read the correct position of the mouse in the following frame, and instead reads the position of the mouse at the end of the frame with FlashFx in it.
Come to think of it, what does 'Transform mouse' do anyway?
Thanks, will look at it. It reads the mouse position in a different way so that when you transform the frame's sprite (Using the actions), the mouse expressions match the transformation, so then when you do something like Set object X at XMouse, object Y at YMouse, the object will be at the mouse cursor, even if the frame is rotated by 45°. I hope this explains it... not so easy to explain at 11 PM.
Can someone explain how to enable the right mouse button using the External Interface functions?
I'd really like to get this working, but without any documentation it's like looking for a needle in a stack of hay.
I agree that Looki extensions needs a bit of documentation.
I've just tried to use this extension in a Flash App I'm working on and when I tried to Build the App I got a Shader Compile Error? Any ideas? When I removed it, the App compiled fine.
Paul_Boland, you didn't completely install the extension, there is a flex config file that has to be overwritten.
Ryan: Add a callback for "rightClick" and use the condition to receive the clicks.
Thanks, that works fine now. I recently did a reinstall of a SWF Exporter and it must have replaced the config file with the standard version. Once I replaced it with your version it worked fine.Quote:

Umm... I can't seem to be able to get this to work... I have the Flash FX Object in my Flash App and the very first event is,
Always
>Flash FX Set Stage Mode to "exactFit"
(Note, this Always command is in a group which is immediately deactivated.)
But my App is not changing size and now my Flash Video is not playing??? What am I doing wrong?
Um, I don't know. Did you actually resize the flash applet in the HTML code or used the zoom function of your browser? It should make a difference.
Aw, I didn't chance the HTML code. At the moment the width and height are 800 x 600 which is the resolution the App was developed at. How do I change this so the App fills the browser window regardless of a viewers screen resolution?Quote:

Thanks, Looki. Does anyone else here know how I can achieve this?
Looki, I followed your instructions for enabling the right-click but the context menu still shows and the clicks are ignored. Has anyone actually tested this? Can anyone post an example?
Yeah i agree, i said about this recently here -Quote:

Hopefully there will be a better system for it in the future. For now i think Clickteam should include the updated configs from extensions, then if people update the runtime they don't need to update the config again via extensions they already have.
Is the Add effect broken or is that just me.
Hello,
I use your extension to my game works fine but I have a problem.
I would like the height is proportional to the width.
Currently width and height are not expanded in the same proportions.
Could you define the width for the scale and then keep the proportion for the height.
I hope you can help me.
Thank you in advance
Cordially
You can use "noBorder" or "showAll" to keep the proportions.
Thank you for your prompt response.
Yes, it works perfectly.
Congratulations for this extension!
Hi everyone,
RickyRombo requested me to add a 'get pixel' expression that reads a pixel at a position from the screen (also works in EXE btw).
While I was at it, I thought I'd try out this idea that I've had for a while - loading all shader and 3d classes at runtime. I tried it and it works - what that means? You don't *need* to overwrite the flex config, you can keep it Flash 9 - but you won't be able to use shaders or 3d transformations (which are still in development anyway). :)
