Scaled vectors.

6+°C

It’s a fixing things holiday. I break from work, supposedly for rest & recovery. My week has been filled with mending things. As soon as I’ve done here, I finish the skirting board. All the while I look forward to some cycling, finally I’m well enough to go.
Flash: Yesterday fixed up one of my animations & exported it as a Flash movie clip. It’s effective because it doesn’t matter how much you scale up the image size, it always remains smooth. The swf is just over 900KB, I will probably post it to my own website & remove something else to make room**. Flash 8 does crash sometimes, hopefully there will soon be a patch to prevent this.

Flash is still fiddly in places, and I could do with a good book on Actionscript 2.0.. This should be well worth genning-up on, I ought to learn one programming language, it’s this or Visual Basic.

**It’s annoying that Claranet won’t increase the amount of space allowed for a home page.


Happy Birthday Stuart!

See below for a few frames. Strangely, the export process has removed outlines, at least the files are small, only 11Kb each.


Right then, the flash video is uploaded. Let me know is there are any problems playing the video. If it redirects you to Macromedia’s website it’s possible that you have Flash Player 7 or older. The new version is free and is easy enough to install.

Watch out though, it needs a preloader, which I haven’t done yet.
