My friend showed me this game -- Impressed and excited to learn it was a Fusion 2 game! Congrats on going viral!

Is this referring to me? I never claimed otherwise.

In that case, use "Mouse is over an object" instead of "Mouse pointer is in a zone"

The main idea is that you have a mouse event listener activated and deactivated based on mouse position.

Great! :)

The reason behind it is due to the Flash platform's handling of events. As a novice AS3 developer, I've learned that in AS3 you have to set "Event Listeners" - something that MMF2 doesn't have to do...

Ah, ok. It definitely has my vote to continue!

It appears that Jacob's website has been suspended, presumably he's late on payment.

You need to use a simple filename rather than a complete path.

Otherwise I don't know what could be wrong. Example code plox?

Both. I can't seem to get the extension to work in build anymore. I have it working in debug but when I build the .dat it appears to not trigger the saving and printing actions.

Also, I posted on FusionWiki before it went down again all of the documentation.

I recently made my own here

For the AddPrintListener, enter "mouseUp"

It's not a name for the listener, it's the type of listener.

It defaults to "mouseDown" I think, so if you double click real fast it worked.

Neither are supported in Flash.

You'll have to do it the hard way. If they aren't vital features to the game, you could detect the format of the game (EXE etc) with a certain Runtime Object and...

... that's what Bullet 360 does?

I'm not sure exactly what you're looking for, but the Bullet360 object might be of use.

I thought that MMF2 converted all the audio to MP3 upon export?

Flash player object has it I believe

Better yet, embed the game properly into a webpage instead of viewing the SWF. :P

I initially supported this, but came up with a bit of trouble:

Flash by nature doesn't do well while the tab is not in focus. Most games program an "auto pause" screen to make the game pause when the game does not have focus.

As requested several times by several different users, I have now added the ability to send the image to the printer.

This new version of the extension is available at...

Thanks for the reply (and the link!)

What seems to be the issue?

I'm guessing that your FlashPlayer version number is too low.

(I'm on Gwerdy for a bit, feel free to drop on in)

I agree with Atom - no default values once this is out of beta. You could use the description, a help file, an example mfa etc to explain how to use it.

Great extension - well done.

While Java is great and all, I don't think it would be necessary for MMF3 to export to it. There's not much you can do with Java that you can't do with another of the platforms.

What I always do is just move everything else besides the object(s) that are supposedly "moving"

With Jacob's solution, you can get results such that both "Overlap Top" and "Overlap Right" are equal to 1, etc.

It will work for all 8 directions that way.

Every code is in a certain object. A majority lie in the Special object.

Yves, similar to what ASD is saying and related to the Sub app leak, the DirectShow object will add to the main app's MB usage when you open/close a subapp with it inside.

And remember, this is Mathias. He knows MMF2 inside and out!

MJK: For a workaround until this is fixed, try changing a flag or value to signal that the leaderboard has been closed.

Turns out the problem was Flash's security and a conflict with that and MMF2. You have to set an event listener within the extension. This extension now is nearly identical to StephenL's...

NickLane, did you use Atan2? The demo doesn't have that function, among other things.

MMF2 will always have a header of all the default functions, and thus have a minimum filesize of (judging by your results) 250kb or so.
