heart beatting detector

[felipegm]

hi

I´d like to make a heart beat machine, that one with the green line that shows the heart beatting pulse in a hospital.
anyone knows where I can find something about that?

thanks

Do you mean an actual machine to hook someone up to your computer to monitor their heart? ...No...I don't.

But to help you search, it's called an 'electrocardio gram'; or EKG for short.

[felipegm]

No.
I mean doing an animation that simulates the monitor of this machine.

[Freddythunder]

Do a search on EKG. I've contributed to two threads on the subject. It has been somewhat unresolved. I made one with dots and I think Kode made one with API that goes really fast, but it's a line. Either way, it'll get you started. If you need further help, you should post in one of those threads you find. That way myself and others will be emailed on the subject again. I would like to see a good example, because it's kind of hard to code.

I think one of the threads ended by someone makind the animation and just using a mask to uncover it. (-:

[andr.in]

you mean a green line that shows the CPU usage or sth?

if not then it shouldn't be too hard...

[Freddythunder]

I think he wants an emulation of a heart monitor machine with no input to it - just the animation. Got any ideas?

[Freddythunder]

All praise the mighty thor..*klung klung*

..sorry that was Adventures In Babysitting

..BTW what happend to the movie quotes thing??? now that I'm thinking? (I don't think too often, so...) :P

Here's a little code Syko originally posted and which I modified a tiny little bit:


onClipEvent (load) {
this.lineStyle(1, 0x000000, 100);
x = 100;
this.moveTo(100, 0);
}
onClipEvent (enterFrame) {
x++;
if (x<=250) {
y = (x/100)*x/Math.cos(x)/x-30;
}
if (x>=250 && x<=450) {
y = (x/100)*x/Math.atan(x)/x-30;
}
lineTo(x, y);
}

[grandsp5]

haha. in your code they die when x hits 450 voets :P

[Voetsjoeba]

Yep :P It's not my code, it's Syko's :)

[grandsp5]

uhh. your footer messed up the quick edit voets. It goes behind your footer....??

[Voetsjoeba]

It's like that for every flash footer ...

[grandsp5]

never actually had that before. guess i learn something new every day. Today I even learned 2 things.
1) Footers appear over quickedits
2) Midnight soccer is a bad idea when you are in a place filled with cops and are out after curfew.

[mlk]

you guys have a curfew in the US ? I thought it was only in places occupied by the army (ie war ???)

[andr.in]

voets!! :bad: Who gave permsiion to post my code!? :bad:


j/k :P

btw note: monitor by Syko, death by voets

;)

Voetsjoeba / Syko

That´s it what I´m lookinf for. thanks a lot!!!

My idea is to make this animation to be my preloader "bar".
How can we make the beginning of the line to be in the center of the animation all the time also?

[andr.in]

np :)

umm... center of the animation... beginning of line.. umm..?
do you mean that the green stuff scrolls left all the time so the end of the line is visible..?
if so then add

_x--;

into enterFrame
...

[Voetsjoeba]

How do you want your preloader to behave ? In other words, what do you want it to do ?

[felipegm]

I´d like the line to scroll to the left so it´s beginning is all the time on the same x point.
I´m wondering if it´s possible to make the line to grow higher according to the totalloaded of the animation, so depending of the % of the movie is loaded, higher and lower the line will go.

[Voetsjoeba]

I'm not sure I understand you ... you want it to scroll from left to right according to the bytes loaded or do you want it to grow/shrink according to the bytes loaded ? Or both ?

[felipegm]

just to grow/shtink according to the bytes loaded. The scrolling is Ok with the _x--; code Syko posted.

--- 10% it grows a little, 20% a little more.... 100% it grows higher.

[andr.in]

humm.... I'm not sure how to do it...
because I'm not in full control of that script since I don't know what sin and cos do.. :beam:
but maybe somebody does know a way...
lemme think.... :sigh:

[Voetsjoeba]

Like this ?



onClipEvent (load) {
this.lineStyle(1, 0x000000, 100);
x = 100;
this.moveTo(100, 0);
h = 500
}
onClipEvent (enterFrame) {
x+=1;
h-=3
y = (x/h)*x/Math.cos(x)/x-30;
lineTo(x, y);
}

[felipegm]

Sorry guys,

Maybe I´m not being clear enough...
I´d like to make this line a preloader bar, and put it at the beginning of a movie, and make it to grow/shrink according to the bytes loaded of the main movie.
Maybe istead of just growing/srhinkking the line according to the x point, make this grow according to the bytesloaded of the mainmovie. (preloader)

[Voetsjoeba]

The h variable was just a test variable, it should be replaced by the value from your preloader. But anyway. I think I know what you want.

You want it to be stretched already, have it stand still, and let the "hills" grow according to the bytes loaded ?

[felipegm]

It would be great!!!
I´m having lots of ideas, but they´re hard to make real...

It can be any way...
can start just like this you made, and the hills grow/shrink according to the bytes loaded.
Or it can start as a stretched line.

Any way would be nice.

I've been away, that's a cool quickTime thing. I have yet to check out Voetsjoeba's (Syko's) code. I will do so soon. :beam:
