Ability to communicate between flash and desklet script would be great.
I mean - when in browser window, flash can execute js functions, declared in html, so it could be extremely useful to do such things in AveScripter.
I'm even ready to pay for this feature, because it's the only thing i need to create loads of useful widgets (i'm bored with pixel-soup xml skinning).

I don't know enough about flash on how it can execute stuff.

But I can tell you the next beta release will have flashplayer and lots more support.

I'm in the middle of just finishing off a few things and online help.

[Arzen]

I have seen the last beta you've done, with flashplayer (with asteroids game), and that's why i have such request =)

If you tell me, how do you load flash into the desklet, i can tell you, what approach will be easier to implement. And, perhaps, i can help you with this part of coding, if you don't mind.

[pcm]

Well, the last beta implentation was scraped for a better one. I now support all activeX so this allows other stuff to be executed.

I'm in the middle of typing the document. I want to release the next beta with a document update. Atleast a document with all the information, then I'll go back and add examples.

Once I'm done. I'll be more than happy to exchange info.

[Arzen]

Documentation would be great, yeah =)

[pcm]

I was wondering if this is the entire list of requested features?

Thanks all



BetaguyGZT

1- WebBrowser (Done with ActiveX "experimental" )
2- Menu set a folder to. (currently doing it and should be released soon)
3- Documentation (Mostl done, also a SDK Desklet included)

NightCrawler

1- Mini Explorer (Desklet request can be done I think)

Julieta

1- WinAMP Desklet (Sample already done)

Rimmer

1- Write a File (All add that quickly if there isn't a way with the ms scripte) I have the opposite takes 2 mins to add it
2- Draw Layers (Done, refer to Canvas)
3- Colorize (Hue, Saturation is done, missing 1 feature)
4- System Object (On the list todo)
5- Font group (on the list. Acutally its a Style group)
6- Inline effect (Can be done with executescript, but a effect engine is in the works)
7- DoubleClick (Might be limited to Avedesk, double checking)
8- Shadow effects for text controls (on the list) Text Layers would fall into the "Effect engine"
9- Clipboard (on the list)
10- Filling layer. (Done with canvas)
11- Mask source. (Done with masks? no?)

Horosopes (Desklet Request)


Arzen:

The latest version of AveScripter might be interesting for you, also

11- Mask source. (Done with masks? no?)
[QUOTE]

Everything's ok now, I just misunderstood the mask for the first time. I though it's a real 8bit alpha channel for layer, regulated through the color. But it's just a mask, like in Delphi or Windows icons (pre XP). A 1bit alpha channel, generated from color. Very useful when used right. So, don't worry about masks.

Request (I need it really ): accessing controls as layers [ desklet.layers("controlname") ]

cf:

<control name="scroller" type="VERTICAL_SCROLLBAR" x="300" y="41" width="19" height="158" fontalign="LT" value="0" scrollbarsize="0" onchange="onScrollbar();" visible="false" />

Now I want to clip the scrollbar - which avedesk has support for:

this.layers("scroller").ClipSource = "0,0," + this.layers("scroller").width + "," + yPos;

Error: layer not found. [ this.layers("scroller") is empty ].

It would be great if a controls are also accessible as layers. Thanks!

[pcm]

I understand what you mean... I'll see how I can implement this

[killaart]

is it possible to implement this?

http://dev.netvibes.com/

[pcm]

I'll have to look into it, but you do realize that it doesn't allow avescripter to run other desklets. Its the other way around. It would be a Desklet that allows to run netvibes desklets. And those desklets could then run anywhere.

[Aasemoon]

Ehm... how about some mini games? =)

[pcm]

It is possible to it have "flash" based games in the latest version.

I have asteroids.

[Aasemoon]

Well, how do you load flash in a desklet?

[pcm]

Oh.. Doh.. looks like I some how forgot to put that work on the web. Sorry. I have a faulty brain.

[Aasemoon]

Ah perfect! Thanks a lot, this opens a whole bunch of new doors. =D
And quite obviously you have a great brain.
