  • Thank you Aphrodite & BluePhaze,

    I will look into that as soon as I have a moment.

    IE support is not crucial but if all it is is just a server tweak, then why not.

    Ciao for now,

    V

    Did you compose something famous?????

    The most important part of the app can be seen in the small lines above the keyboard. For now, they are red and green

    The reason why they are there is to help children with picking the right sounds which they can drop into one of the four frames (each holding four cells).

    If you follow that simple recipe, you will compose a proper song in the chord progression of : I - V - V - I

    Where I means 1 or C major and V (roman numerals) five means G or G7 major.

    When I am done with all the features, this app will enable anyone to compose real songs.

    Maybe later on I might make a more professional version for songwriters.

    This Saturday, we are beginning to record songs which were made with that app (the Flash version (no link, as you requested)) and I am excited to show the world that really amazing songs can now be made with a simple app.

    Please keep in mind that this is just an alpha release. The real thing will be quite different.

    I am very disappointed that Flash was killed because for sound stuff, I think, it is the best way to go.

    Having said that, C2 is amazing. I couldn't believe that I would be able to start on the sound apps this year (the plan was to have everything ready for the fall of 2015.

    This is my latest project but I still need to figure out how to span new notes as currently, there is only one of each.

    With C2, I should be able to produce one new app a week. <img src="{SMILIES_PATH}/icon_e_smile.gif" alt=":)" title="Smile">

  • All the HTML5 apps I've exported from a laptop running Win7 Professional are performing as expected but because of software issues, I have to use an older desktop with W8.1 for the time being.

    Yesterday, I've exported an app for testing which loads fine on my Mac using Chrome and Firefox and Samsung Note3 but does not fully load on an iPad and iPhone. Weird.

    Also, there is no sound in IE. Is that normal?

    If anyone out there has access to tablets or smartphones please tell me if you can fully open this link:

    http://littlecomposers.com:8080/apps/compose/index.html

    The :8080 is just bypassing the servers caching temporarily so that the previous version doesn't get loaded.

    The app is based on the project file bellow but has sounds and buttons to take and save a screenshot.

  • Thank you Lordshiva1948,

    I am glad that you posted the file because I lost access to my laptop today and run C2 on an old computer minus all the sample files I have collected over the past few days.

    I shall take a second look.

    Cheers,

    I have not used instance variables yet .... but I will try and see if I can figure it out.

    I am really impressed by what you have done. - V

    P.S. Could you show me how to to this for one color?

    What would I use for Name, Type and Initial Value?

    P.S.S. I am also wondering how I could implement a feature which gives me a new instance on start drag (to create an endless supply of note blocks).

    Wow, this is awesome!

    Thank you for showing me how to make this kind of app.

    What would be the best way to attach one unique sound to each of the colored blocks?

  • FragFather,

    first of all, THANK YOU for helping me!

    I will need to upgrade before I can open it because I am using release 168 and you seem to use 170.

    The other day, I used a pre-release and had trouble saving because there was an issue with minify.

    Anyway, I will upgrade for sure because I am curious to learn what you have made.

    Again, thank you for working on this,

    V

  • Hey,

    I found a file someone uploaded and tried to add more content which would snap to 15 different locations.

    I copied the events (of red) and changed the names accordingly but the new objects all snap to the same block and ignore the other ones.

    I want to learn how to implement this feature and hope that someone would be able to point me in the right direction.

    The final goal is to have 12 different colored blocks that can be snapped to any of the 15 locations.

    Thanks for any hints and advise which helps me to do this. - V

  • I just replaced another Flash app with a C2 made HTML5 equivalent (YAY)!

    "Smart Notes" is, by design, a very simple app which teachers young children the note names.

    Once I am caught up on other stuff, I might add more sounds so that the kids can also hear what the note sounds like.

    For now, they just hear the note name.

    Please keep in mind that this app is for our music students who are 4 - 6 years old.

    C2 is amazing! - V <img src="{SMILIES_PATH}/icon_e_smile.gif" alt=":)" title="Smile">

  • zenox98,

    thanks for that info!

    For some reason, I unplugged the external HD and the monitor and guess what? The thing booted finally.

    Yesterday, I tried normal mode, safe mode, nothing worked.

    Fingers crossed ....

  • Confession: I am a Mac user but have a new MSI laptop running windows 7 which I use for AutoCAD, SolidWorks and a few other weird apps AND, since a few days C2.

    After rebooting just earlier, I can no longer log in because the boot process hangs at the welcome screen.

    My question is:

    Can I just install C2 and license on an old HP desktop (which I haven't used for a while) just so that I can keep learning C2?

    Are there any license issues?

    I expect my laptop to be in the repair shop for at least two weeks (because computer repair people are lazy).

    Thanks,

    V
