I'm in a webdesign/media/software company which purchased this tool for Flash called SWF Studio. It lets you add all kinds of crazy features to your flash movies

http://www.northcode.com/swfstudio/features.html

If you want, when you are done you can send your file to me... and I could compile it with this tool. ( if you wanted to add more realistic features like full screen and no right click flash menu and such, remove the title bar, things like that. ) Let me know, always glad to help.

EVIL.... ur icon really scares me........

Ahh, that program looks really cool, I might consider it if I can't find it myself :D

Good luck, I tried to find it before I ended up just plopping down the cash, but no dice :-/. I've become pretty adept with it now, created an entire update system for a website using it, it's pimp :p.

[Marauder]

So whats the status?!

[nw909]

Well I did a fair amount of work last night :D

So far I have:

• Taskbar Working
• Shutdown Computer Working
• Wallpaper
• Clock that reads 9:30 :D

The rest of the stuff will just be easy and I should be done fairly soon :D

[DarkelP]

no hurry.......................but hurry up!!! this sounds really cool:D

[tim8604]

If you want I can give you the code to get the clock actually working (ie: it will display 2:40 PM if it is 2:40 PM in real life).

you might have already implimented this but I couldn't tell from your post :)

[nw909]

No, I don't know how to do that system clock check code thing but you know 9:30 = 9/30 = September 30th :D

But that code could be cool too :D

[Thadius Dean]

so uh... you still working on it right?

[SpuD]

Yeah, where is it?

[nw909]

It might come out, or it might not, got lots of shit for school so I haven't been working on it for a while.

[Gashtar]

Done yet?

I kid, I kid.

[mindless_moder]

[Dile]

Cool:cheers:

Cant wait to see what Gabe says about it:cheese:

[Dux]

funny thing is, you thought i put effort into that flash.

[Dead-Inside]

funny thing is, you thought i put effort into that flash.

I didn't, but this was my thinking;

1. The flash should get some work put in to it
2. Why the hell did he take so long to make something so little

[Jack_Karverboy]

Haha...I would put that in my sig, but the place is taken :D


That and it wouldn't make sense to anyone who hadn't read this thread.

Fair enough. You could help me though, I need a background picture for the desktop. (It's not a big sized thing, it's 400 x 250px)

I was thinking HL2 but I'm also drawing on other "features". I already have one that's gonna be a surprise. It's nothing much it's just good to have.
