  • Nice work Pode! Simple and useful.

  • agarciamuntion, the capx does not run very well for me. As you said, the sprites blink, and then they eventually disappear.

    Would it be possible for you to create a new project with simple graphics and with events showing only the mechanic you are trying to achieve?

    EDIT: Never mind, i didn't see your last post.

  • What could be easier?

    R0J0hound laughs in the face of Occam's Razor!

  • Ashley or Tom, will you be creating a new forum section for shader creations (similar to the plugin section)?

  • "you must purchase a Pro License (or other commercial license) to continue using Awesomium <font color=red>in your application</font>.".

    It says, "in your application", meaning, in the application in which Awesomium was originally used, and for which you purchased the license.

    I agree, the wording could and should be a lot more clear. I also agree that most of the people here won't ever have to worry about this issue.

  • I think actually reading the Awesomium license should clear up any misunderstandings.

    There are 3 license models: Free, Pro, Site.

    The free model has two options: Non-Commercial and Indie. If you choose the non-commercial option, then they expect you to not attempt to make any money with that application. If you choose the Indie model, then you can make money on that application, up to $100,000. If you make more than $100,000 on that specific application, then they expect you to purchase a Pro license.

    When you purchase a Pro license, you pay a one-time $2900 fee for that specific application.

    Nowhere in the license overview does it say anything about paying $2900 if your company makes over $100,000, only if that specific application makes more than $100,000.

    I am not trying to be pedantic, and I assume you have read the license overview, so I don't see where the confusion is coming from?

    As others have said, if your company is making over $100,000 on a specific application, how does $2900 seem unreasonable to support a company which gave you the ability to make over $100,000?

  • Another option might be to pause the game when the mouse cursor leaves the view port.

    Here is an example: https://dl.dropbox.com/u/38038537/examples/MouseInGame_example.capx

  • Actually not true, business closing hours are fast approaching. I don't know many businesses that would release a build five minutes before logging out and going home...!

    Do Tom and Ashley have closing hours? <img src="smileys/smiley36.gif" border="0" align="middle" />

  • —, I agree.

  • Happy birthday! Now get back to work!

    j/k :P

  • Fimbul, I wish I could give you a Eureka! badge. You just caused my brain to finally understand dt. Augmented neural pathways FTW!

  • Peter, you can set an instance variable in an action. When you create the action, select your button object, then the Set value action. In the Value field, enter your global variable name.

    You can also choose the global variable from the Object with expressions window, under the System object.

    Edit: ninja'd

  • When you create an action for an object, there is a z-order section at the bottom. You can move the object to the top or bottom.

    I think the only plug-in related to z-order is for placement of objects in an isometric view.

  • Yeah, R0J0hound's solution is better. I realized after I checked that the lerp has too much of a cool down near the end.
