The product seems pretty cool. Have run into issues and weird results. Could use some documentation on the sample files supplied and the program in general. Also your MovieFX tutorial on line crashes about a 1/4 way through each time I try to view it.

Do you have any documentation on using your tweening scripts?

Hello,

You can find documentation and tutorials for both Creative MovieFX and Extend Tweening Engine in the Flash Help Panel (you can open it by pressing F1 in Flash) under the "Creative MovieFX" and respectively "Extend Tweening Engine" books.

Please let me know what problems you have encountered using the products and I will try to assist you.

Also, can you please tell me which one of our samples or live demos you had trouble viewing and exactly what happened?

Best regards,
Horea RADU.

I already posted this question via the built in support contact feature of your Creative MovieFX component, but thought I should also post it here for the benefit of any other users.

Having looked through your (very extensive) help "F1" documentation, I did not find an answer to this question - here it is..

I noticed that after dropping an naming an instance of the component on the stage, my action panel had some code in it..

on(draw) { // your code went here }

I am already aware of the method you describe in the help area for..

component_instance_name.onEffectFinished = function() {
trace('This event has been triggered because your effect has finished playing');
}

I tried this, it didn't work.

I would prefer to add some code to the component instance's Action panel, and started to type the following code there..

on(onEffectFinished) { //my code here }

..but it didn't work either.

Interestingly, code hinting kicked in right after I typed "on(", which is how I came to try the "onEffectFinished" parameter.

What can you tell me please?

Thank you - and my compliments to your developers.

Yours,
-Timothy Hall

Hello,

I have tried the method described in the documentation and it worked fine.

I have created a movieclip directy on the stage and applyed an effect using MovieFX. I have named the component instance "my_effect" and I have added the following code on the first frame (not on the component instance):

my_effect.onEffectFinished = function() {
trace('effect finished!');
}

The on(draw) code that is placed directly on the component is only used by MovieFX for loading the effect into your Flash project.

Here is the FLA file that I have worked on. Click here to download it.

If you have any other questions, please feel free to reply to this post

Best regards,
Horea RADU.

Horea,

That's what I tried, and as I told you, it didn't work - and it still doesn't work.
I will send you the FLA, if you're willing to have a look at it that is; but will need an email address to send it to.

You can email me at tim@Swing-Thing.com - once I get your email I will send you the FLA, so you can have a look and see what's going on.

Thanks again.

Yours,
-Tim

Hi Extend Studio staff,
Can I reskin FlvPlayback components/buttons (seekBar, playPause, etc) using this tool? If not, then do you offer such a tool?
Also I'd just like to confirm: the demo / trial only works on the demo files, right? I tried to open a new file and was not able view the components I had installed from the downloads.
Thanks,
Erik

Hi Erik,

Regarding your first question, our products line does not include a component that can reskin FlvPlayback components/buttons.

As for the demo versions of our products, they include all the features of the full versions, the only difference is that there will appear a watermark/link to our site on the product, so there shouldn't be any problem when opening a new file. In order for us to help you with this issue, please give us more details.

Kind regards,
Lavinia Iancu
