mame default theme use swf ???

[lole]

HI

I wonder whether it is possible to use animation. Swf files in the default theme for the artwork 1 2 3 4

This is my basic idea, but lack of animation I would like to add some effects

[SophT]

you can use swf (actionscript 3.0) on any layer including background. Just remember to set it to 120fps.

that looks like some cool artwork.

[lole]

hum!!!


I do not understand

here it is the default theme MAME

I tried to use one. swf files in the artwork1 folder, i also the settings in the Default.xml but it does not work.

I am told that my swf file did not qualify to be displayed, so I used this file on a game theme (killer instinct).

that has worked perfectly.

Why it does not work on the default theme mame "?????

May be a configuration parameter is missing?

Sorry for my english

Probably the wrong version of flash.

[lole]

Probably the wrong version of flash.

I do not think so, because my animations work very well on the MAME game theme.

but does not work on the "default MAME theme"

I used the files (swf) of other themes
ex (samsho.swf, marble.swf etc etc......)...... also do not operate on a "default MAME theme"

:stupid: :banghead:

help me

[BadBoyBill]

is the file named default.swf?

[lole]

yes!!!

All default.swf file that I use does not work, but if I use this file in mame game theme then it works perfectly.


I think something is wrong in the settings section MAME

Ok, I bet its because of the location , its probably off the screen, swf's dont always act according to the location because it depends on where the first frame of the animation is, have you tried your theme inside of hypertheme to get the exact x and y coordinates.

[lole]

yes

I think I will install properly Hyperspin and see if this bug persists

BBB & Lole,
I ran into the same thing when trying to create multiple .swf with the default MAME theme for my X-Arcade theme. The Background.swf worked fine but could'nt make any other artwork layers .swf's. I just scrapped the idea. :)

Not sure if it was me or a bug.

[Dazz]

Bill... I'm pretty sure that this is being caused by a pre-existing bug that hasn't been fixed. I recall this being on my list of features/fixes that I sent you before you started the HyperPin project.

[BadBoyBill]

Ok, so default swfs dont work for themes, I'll fix it on the next build.

I is exactly the same result

Is a very good idea......thanks

But be careful, the wheel of MAME is still incomplete, using too much animation to the default theme will seriously slow the flow :turtle:


It will take creative moderate amount of animation :deal:

BBB,
I can live with the bug. No worries no troubles.
Its a small price to pay for overall perfection. ;)
