swf sound's good to me....
« on: February 08, 2017, 06:30:08 PM »

i wonder why more people aren't using ".swf"  flash ,  in their themes it seems to work fine?

Code: [Select]
local l = fe.add_artwork("next.swf" , flx*0.180, fly*0.870, flw*0.100, flh*0.100 );
l.preserve_aspect_ratio = true;

just a Q: of conversation ......
help a friend....

Because flash suuuuuucks. You have to download a plugin and it eats resources like on non nom. It's notorious for being awful on the Mac. Plus it has a fixed resolution. For web use, everything that can be done with flash, can be done with CSS and JavaScript - and is scalable.

I think flash support is primarily added to support Hyperspin layouts.. not that it can't be used, but I think the support is somewhat minimal - it doesn't support all flash functionality.

It would be handy for certain things, but ideally we could get away from it (IMO) with a few utilities and more simplified layout creation.

Flash is a dead-end IMHO
but animated GIF support (on transparent background) would be cool. If someone is skilled in making animated GIFs - it could actually simplify layout coding (for him).

GIFs are incredibly inefficient and limited to 256 colours.. they had their place and time, which was back in the early 90s.. why they ever got popularized in the mid 2000s is beyond me.. fucking hipsters!

I beg to differ - until some other format emerges - there is nothing like the GIF that can display animation on transparent background.
GIF is really inefficient if you are converting movie > GIF, but for "flat style" animations it works pretty good.
