Has anyone tried the 'record demo' function in MMF2 Developer? I tried it myself but nothing really happened. Does the demo file need to be created first before recording the demo?
This is for a simple arcade game--like a real arcade machine--whenever no action is taken, the machine will play a demo.
When you record the demo, you should move your objects with the keyboard. The keypresses are then recorded in a file.
Then, when you want you play the demo file, and the keypresses will be simulated.
shoudn't it record clicks as well as keypresses? as some games use the mouse as well as the keyboard
Yeah, I'm Gutted that it can't record mouse movements and clicks. Not really any good for me, you could make your own demo maker app then, COOL HUH?!
C'mon all those demo tools are really cool.
Hello ,
so the record demo function doesn't record mouse movements ? So that's why I've been trying to get it to work without success...
Will the next build of mmf 2 248 add mouse recording features ?
Thanks, Eric
It does record the mouse! And the mouse movement. I do not understand why it does not on your system...
Hi, thanks Francaois for the answer.
My laptop is not with me today , so I can't run tests , but this is what I've done :
1) in the frame property : define a recording's file name and path : D:\myapps\app.mfd
2) record the frame
3) end the frame. At that points the app.mfd is modified and stores about 7 ko. ( the frame displays a quiz object and the demo is supposed to show the user how to navigate in the quiz )
4) Add an event in event editor of the demoed frame : start of frame => play demo D:\myapps\app.mfd( I haven't chosen a relative path since I'm running test locally first )
5 ) first test from within mmf of the frame : nothing happens , the frame functions normally but the demo is not triggered
6 ) I build an .exe , then I run the test from the .exe : onceagain unsuccessfully.
Am I doing something wrong ? Nothe that the demoed frame is not the first in the app ( is that allright ? )
also : my app is 800 x 600 , it doesn't make a difference if I enable the "change resolution" option.
Thanks for reading ,

Haaa, unfortunately, the Quiz object is not compatible with the demos. I will have to work on this to make it compatible.
Sorry.
Hi, thanks Francois for answering.
Well don't worry about the demo. With all the developments for mmf 2 , I guess this issue can wait for a while!!
And thanks again for the quiz object because it's a really great tool for educators. As a teacher of English as a second language I'm already using it for my classes in a vitalized version and it's fine. I have a few requests about it that I will post in the educators' forum. Thanks for taking a look.
I've updated to the latest Java Beta so the demo function seems to be fine, I have to make an active always follow X Y of mouse to see where the mouse is going. Seems to be fine. Shame it doesn't work outside of the box
Could make a cool macro app.
I like MMF2 it's great.
