  • Weird. I'm getting the same error that Vsquared was getting, even with the updated scml. Also, when I try to look at the example file (the animated monster) it doesn't show up at all in Chrome, but works fine with Firefox.

    I've also noticed that when I try to drag the monster example into Construct 2, that none of the images show up. I don't think the sprites are loaded into the folders either.

    Not sure if any of that is giving any hints as to what's wrong or if its something I'm doing. Any help is appreciated. I'm really looking forward to diving into spriter.

  • It worked! Thanks! I saw a tutorial on here that talks about editing your exported html file to change some things. I'm going to read that over tonight. I'll let you know when I get the Construct 2 project finished and loaded up to the blog. Thanks again for you help.

    Almost there! So I found some blog post where a guy put an iframe at the bottom of his posts section. Following that, I put the iframe above </header> and it works! I think its the same concept that you were talking about, I just don't know enough HTML to get it into the right spot. Of course, it still loads up the page inside of the iframe when I press that button (like you pointed out), but at least its working.

    Right now I'm trying to get it centered horizontally on the page. I tried align="middle" and it did nothing so I will do some more research on that later. I also have a black border showing up along the top and left of the iframe, but I think that's a margins thing.

    If you have any thoughts on the alignment or border, let me know. If not, thanks again for joining in on my incredible headache.

  • Hmmmm. Couldn't find any of the "<div class='navbar section' id='navbar'><div class='widget HTML' id='HTML5'>" anywhere so I just tried it with a fresh start on blogger. Putting it in the absolute beginning gave me a format error so I tried pluging it in at different areas of the code. It didn't appear anywhere. Weird.

  • Actually, if you have a second to skim over something I would appreciate it.

    When I first started this, I was able to create an extra "header" widget in blogger and put my iframe in it. The problem I had was that the iframe was showing up behind my header description and couldn't be interacted with.

    Looking at these tutorials, do you think its possible to ignore the widgets, place the code for the iframe directly into the html, and then set it to "float" above the actual blog?

    If you look for "CSS Positioning Code" you'll see where they talk about it: Floating Content in Iframe

    I also found that if you set the "left" property to 50% that it will center in the page: Center Iframe

    I'd like to hear your thoughts on it. Thanks.

  • Didn't seem to work. It put the code at the top of the blog. You can see it at my site:

    Need Your Disease

    If you want, we can throw in the towel on this. You've spent a lot of time on this and it might just not be possible in blogger. Let me know what you think.

  • Here is the HTML code that I'm pulling from blogger. It has a section where you can upload new "templates". You just get the code from some site and then paste it into this area. The differences I'm made so far is just adding the ability to add extra widgets and I deleted the Header widget. The widget that I inserted inside Blogger's interface is called Construct2.

    If you think it would help to see how their interface works, I can add you as a user of the blog to see what I have going on in there. You seem trustworthy enough and I have all of the original code saved to my computer so I can fix any problems that may come up. Thanks again.

  • — E Bear ,

    Hmmmmmm. That didn't really seem to do anything. The way its loading up now (super slow on my work computer) seems like the iframe is behind the body of the draft and then everything slides down to make room for it. Clicking on the red block does nothing.

    In the version you created, did you just import the iframe in the code without going through the widget? Maybe I can just delete the widget I have in the blogger tool and just put the iframe in through code?

    I realize that I'm going to owe you a big favor, but draw the line at a kidney ;-)

  • So I found the hunk of code that reads:

    #layout .region-inner {

            min-width: 0;

            width: auto;

          }

          ]]>

        </b:template-skin>

    </head>

    Am I putting the CSS code after the line that reads "</head>" or am i putting it after "width: auto;"?

    Also, the iframe code you gave me is the same as I put inside the widget in blogger. Blogger uses blocks to arrange the different things you want to put in there. I created an html block in blogger and already had the iframe code in there. Does your version bypass the need for that blogger widget or are you referencing that one?

    I only ask because I wasn't able to find div class='widget-content'> and <div class='clear'></div>

  • — E Bear That's amazing! It even loads quicker. I see what you're saying about it just loading a web page inside of the iframe. I'm pretty sure that Construct 2 has the ability to "open in a new window" so I may switch to that in a few situations. At the moment I just want an interactive banner. Kind of like those old Disney Animated Storybook CD-Roms from back in the day.

    I'm having trouble getting it into my blog though. I've tried copying and pasting the code, but Blogger doesn't seem to like the format. Is there anyway you can explain what you did so I can recreate it.

    I really appreciate the time you've put into this and hope it isn't too much of a pain.

  • BluePhaze nothing special. It's just a code that is part of the I frame. I don't know much HTML so I'm just using the embed code from one of the Tutorials on this site.

  • So right now I have the Construct 2 project at the top of the page. Here are my problems:

    I'm don't think you can interact with it. Clicking on the red box should load my website: needyourdisease.com It works when I just load the index file from dropbox, but not from the page.

    The project is aligned to the left when I'd rather it be centered.

    Here's my code if you wan't to take a look at it. I have no idea how to correct the problems. I appreciate any help you can give me.

  • That's great to hear, ASHLEY. I'd love to see Microsoft and Sony follow suit with the next generation of consoles.

  • Sure thing. Got busy last night, but am hoping to give it a try tonight. Hopefully I can just get a template in place and then replace it with the finished product later.

  • I'll try that out tonight and get back to you. Thanks for the help!
