Open Challege with Dan!

[telekinesis]

Who wants to accept my challenge for a flash battle!

Rules:
Theme: Flash Radio Interface
Programs: Any, but the main project must be flash!
Size: Any, be creative
Due Date: Week from challenge acceptance!

[pom]

I don't want to battle, just to know what you mean by Flash Radio Interface.

pom :o

[telekinesis]

You know how you see flash radio's on some sites. The main point of this is too make a flash interface, kind of like a rio mp3 player. It doesn't have to be flashy, it all depends on how good you are at scripting the buttons and the whole way that the radio works, you get what I am getting at...

[kornkid8281]

hmmm, it would seem you got this this idea from my "sound controller" thread.....

if not whatever, i don't care. but i would like to see the results of someone's battle with this idea.

[mdipi]

i would do this if i were more advanced with flash. sounds cool dan. good luck (i think people are intemidated, i mean look at your footer! thats incredible.)

[telekinesis]

Sound controller thread, huh.....

[kornkid8281]

it's just that you put this thread up minutes after i put mine and they're both kinda about sound in flash. i dunno. if you wanna read my thread:
http://www.kirupaforum.com/showthread.php?s=&threadid=8782

good luck and all with your battle

btw: if you wanna give me some help with it, that would be awesome. if not it's cool.

[telekinesis]

I am always happy to help people out!

[kornkid8281]

nah that's alright i finally figured it out. i'm not sure what i was doin wrong but i started over and fixed it and deleted my thread. thx anyway!

[Makaveli]

hmm....noone seems to be accepting challange, i guess this is new for everyone. I am eager to see someone accept.

[lostinbeta]

I would accept, but there are 2 reasons I am not.

1) mdipi already challenged me to a grunge battle

2) I don't know how to make a radio in Flash.

Altough I could learn very quickly, I am not sure I will have enough time to learn how to do a radio in Flash AND work on the image for the other battle I am in.

[mdipi]

lost. i am willing to wait if you want to do this one. be sides i could polish my skill while i am waiting. and i need to do my site still. so if you want to i got all the time in the world(figuritvly speaking)

[lostinbeta]

Hrmmm, let me see how far I can get on learning about sounds in Flash tonight, I will let you know about our battle tomorrow night mdipi.

[lostinbeta]

BTW Dan.... what made you choose Flash Radio?

[telekinesis]

You can change the theme, I just picked one, isn't a very creative day for me :(

[lostinbeta]

Nono, I don't want to change, I was just curious as to what made you pick Flash Radio... doesn't seem like an obvious choice.

Also, how is this radio supposed to play songs? Loops or full songs?

[telekinesis]

Imported .mp3's from the a remote location. Can be full songs or can be loops! =)

[lostinbeta]

Ok, any file size limit?

Or dimension size limit?

[telekinesis]

Nope...but this project seems long and time taking for a battle that we wont be getting paid for, so if you want to change the theme, I'm down :P

[lostinbeta]

That is all up to you dude. I am all for it no matter what.... this will prove to be fun, and since I have never done it, educational as well :beam:

But if you wish to change it... that will be just as fun and education too :)

[telekinesis]

Nah, lets just see how it goes! :P

[lostinbeta]

Ok, please don't start this tonight, it is 3am here....lol.

[pom]

How about something a bit simpler for a start? A menu, for instance? Or a mouse trailer, a preloader, I don't know, something that would be a little bit easier to accomplish (and to reuse afterwards)... Just an idea.

pom :)

[lostinbeta]

LOL... a preloader...... especially with how many people ask preloader questions on this forum :P

[pom]

OK, maybe not a preloader :P How about a photo gallery?

[Jubba]

I was going to accept but I remembered that I have 3 tests this week. Won't really have any time to touch my computer...

[mdipi]

hey whens the due date? i will set up the poll right now...

[telekinesis]

That is not your job.....

[mdipi]

well the poll has been up for a while!

[telekinesis]

And now its gone...

Leave it for me and the other moderators to worry about.

[mdipi]

sorry about that dan, didnt know!

[telekinesis]

No problem, just for reference, ya know...for the future! :P

[lostinbeta]

So when does this start Dan?

[telekinesis]

Whenever you want...we have like 2 weeks to finish it. This is kind of a long battle because of school, work, and having a life so it all depends on how wisely we use our time. If you are like me you go on the computer and procrastinate with flash open but all I am doing is chatting on AIM. :P

[lostinbeta]

2 weeks is good, I am really sick right now, so I will need some extra time. You created this battle, you choose when it starts :P

[telekinesis]

It starts Tuesday...I don't use my computer on school holidays. What am I saying, I don't even use my brain on school holidays! :cyclops:

[lostinbeta]

LOL, OK, sounds good to me :)

[sinfiniti]

first of all, to whoever recommended a photo gallery:
a 'radio' and a 'photo gallery' would be the same thing, just two different file types.

secondly:
i would like to participate in this battle. do we submit only one entry, how does that work? can i just submit one, but update it until the deadline?

:)
jeremy

[lostinbeta]

You work on it and submit it once at the very end.

[telekinesis]

You wouldn't want to give us ideas before the battle was over :cowboy:

This will be a good one, we got the pro-actionscripter up in here.

I am gonna have to use my 3D work and photoshop skills to make up for his scripting skills, both of you that is!

[lostinbeta]

LOL, my radio is going to be soooo sad its unbelievable.

I don't even know the capabilities of the sound object in Flash. I just know how to make a play and stop button.

YAY!

Hopefully Photoshop can make up for that though.

[sinfiniti]

don't forget panning and volume!!
alrighty then, i'll start coding tomorrow. so, can we incorporate photoshop images into this flash mp3 player?
:)
jeremy

[lostinbeta]

Correct.

I didn't forget them, I don't know how to do them :P

[h88]

I think i saw many tut's about how to pain ur volume!

search google

[mdipi]

i cant wait to see the result! :P this is going to be SO cool!

[sinfiniti]

it's actually very easy, once you create your sound object, just do this:
_root.soundObject.setVolume(nValue1);
_root.soundObject.setPan(nValue2);

where 'nValue1' is a number from 0 to 100 and 'nValue' is a number between -100 and 100.
have fun everyone, this should be very interesting!!
:)
jeremy

if anyone has questions about the sound object, just post in the flash mx section and i'll get to it. i've had to deal with these issues a lot in the past few months.

[Makaveli]

ARGH!! i cant wait...the suspense is killing me
*clutches heart and dies*

[pom]

You guys are lucky I'm on vacation. Otherwise I would have kicked your butts badly.










:-\ Well not really, but it's always good to trashtalk a bit.

[lostinbeta]

You should participate Ilyas :)

It is a two week battle starting.... well.... today (Tuesday, where I am it is 3am Tuesday morning).

You could whip something up in like a day I bet.... with your mad genius skillz :P

[pom]

I should, I agree, but I'll have to wait until they find a way to Flash without a computer :-\ I,m leaving to Vietnam today, boys. I'll see you later :cowboy:

[lostinbeta]

OHHHH, Ok. How long will you be gone?

[pom]

Well, not right now, but soon :)

And Lost, wow, 4000 posts :crazy:

[lostinbeta]

Woot, thanks for calling that to my attention Ilyas :)

How long will you be away for?

[pom]

I'm leaving for 3/4 weeks. I'll be back in december. :(

[lostinbeta]

That is a really long time :(

So you won't be visiting Kirupaforum for like 4 weeks then?

[mdipi]

cool! :P! that is going to be a pretty cool vaca. i bet! have fun!

[Makaveli]

there must be SOMEONE with flash on the computer there somewhere! how can you rESIST FLASHING FOR 3/4 weeks!!
ARRRGh *clutches heart and dies*

[Makaveli]

[mdipi]

when will this be done? i really want to do that grunge battle lost!

[lostinbeta]

As of this past tuesday, 2 weeks.

[mdipi]

oh, it seems like it has been longer than just a few days.

[Makaveli]

when is this battle due?

[h88]

No one came up with something :q: :-\

[lostinbeta]

Hrmmm,

Ok, this thing is due tomorrow (26th), but I am not done, and will not have this done in a few hours :-\

I know Dan is way behind as well because of his car accident.

So that leaves sinfiniti, if he is working on it, then we can extend the due date, but if not, then I say to just cancel the battle.

[lostinbeta]

Hrmmm, It is the due date and I am not done, Dan is not done, and sinfiniti disappeared.

I guess this battle is canceled :-\

[lostinbeta]

Yep.... canceled :(

[h88]

Thats Bad, i was waiting for it.
