Fritz_Saxi Posted July 9, 2005 Share Posted July 9, 2005 (edited) Didn't think this would be that cool, But Fritz youve done a marvellous job here. <{POST_SNAPBACK}>Thanks very much I'll try and get out a new version very soon, with the audio supportWatch this spaceEdit: The reason for the loss of picture quality is because the project is an 800 by 600 canvas that is stretched to fullscreen, so the image is too. I think I can stop the picture stretching to bigger resolutions. Edited July 9, 2005 by Fritz_Saxi Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

MOONLIGHT SONATA Posted July 10, 2005 Author Share Posted July 10, 2005 Dear Fritz,The way you are improving the cred2.exe day by day, you're just provocating us to appreciate you!! And, I appreciate, Mate. It's becoming elegant, Mate. There's very little to complain about the last.I can only suggest:Give some thinking about what you wished from the very beginning. If, cred2.exe will run first for, say, 50 secs, and then Shutdown.exe starts, will we be able to use 60 secs of shutdown.exe routine for the flash show purpose? And, i apprehend, if these 2 EXE works one after another, we will never be able to steal 60 secs from shutdown.exe. What will happen, as i could imagine, is: cred2.exe runs for 50 secs =>Shutdown.exe runs for 60 secs => we run to the point from where we started.Prepare your mind to pack shutdown.exe command inside your cred2.exe as the starting instruction. Don't worry about shutdown message box; we can use Sysinternals silent Psshutdown.exe to throw away any obstruction on the way of our flash board. Other requests coming soon!

bonedaddy Posted July 10, 2005 Share Posted July 10, 2005 (edited) @ FritzI think you should consider making a new thread with a proper title so ppl will knowwhat this is............great job by the way looks very good, changes, well may be multilines or at least a third one..........or if it's already capable how to...........BD B) Sorry meant for title of new thread:Credits - show credit movie atthe end of your install w\musicor something........

Fritz_Saxi Posted July 10, 2005 Share Posted July 10, 2005 (edited) @Moonlight sonatathinking about the shutdown command, i thought it was gonna be in your final cleanup batch before executing the flash projectorshutdown -r -t 60start pathto/cred2.exethen the shutdown command happens shortly followed by the projector, does the shutdown prompt appear always on top?Flash can't execute shell commands, but a simple batch file could. What is the other way?@bonedaddygood idea about the music credits, i'll get them in somewherekeep the comments coming, gives me something to work towards edit:About the new thread, i'll think about it, maybe the next release, if the improvement is as sizeable as the last few.

war59312 Posted July 11, 2005 Share Posted July 11, 2005 (edited) WOW!!!Now for a template engine. Instead of just a simple text file. Maybe use an INI file or something, if that's possiable ?I pefered the HTML method myself, but it still ROCKS either way!!! Thanks a lot, Will Edited July 11, 2005 by war59312 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Fritz_Saxi Posted July 14, 2005 Share Posted July 14, 2005 (edited) I should have a new version coming out soon. I've sorted the custom jpg background and music artist/track credits. I might also have a mess about with the font formatting, but i won't promise anything Edited July 14, 2005 by Fritz_Saxi Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
DonDamm Posted July 14, 2005 Share Posted July 14, 2005 I just tried it out and I think it's great! It does the job, looks very professional, and allows acknowledgement to be presented. I just found a 49 sec version of the original StarTrek intro which fits perfectly!Good work, Fritz_Saxi! Thank you for making the effort. Oh, you forgot to put yourself in the credits!! ) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
