Thank you helena,

Your suggestions open up a whole new way to approaching my colour issues.

I will make a little sample app to see what it looks like. Getting the colours right is very important for my apps.

As soon as I have the snapping implemented, I will re-visit the colouring of the keys unless I switch to images (but I'd rather keep the file size down).

Cheers,

V

P.S. Your website looks fantastic. I love your work!

Thank you eli0s!

You've already helped me a lot and I am glad that you saw the concept ... how it works, etc...

Yes, I am changing the BG right now plus a few other things like I've already mentioned.

The plan is to have a handful of HTML5 alternatives for those visitors who can't access the Flash content.

I am glad that you like the trumpet. Kids just LOVE it. It's the first instrument they pick. It is available for the iPhone and iPad and still gets some downloads (after over 3 years in iTunes which is why I am so excited about C2.

We'll talk soon and stop by once in a while. There will be a lot of new content posted throughout this summer.

Again, thank you for your encouraging comments. They made my day!

Hello again eli0s,

thanks for the linking tip.

My main site is: http://littlecomposers.com/ (if that gets removed, just copy paste " littlecomposers.com "

From the main menu, click on > PLAY and from the drop-down menu select "Play" once more.

This would be the full link: http://littlecomposers.com/apps/pre-piano/index.html

Tonight, I am adding the snap to box feature and maybe change the background back to white so that it matches the Flash app a little better.

I love C2 and wish I had discovered it earlier! <img src="{SMILIES_PATH}/icon_e_smile.gif" alt=":)" title="Smile">

Hello sanisy,

I will try this later this week because I have a members only portion of my website running on WordPress.

The way to go is iframes.

If you would like to read up on iframes, check out this link:

Have fun,

Hi diogomuller,

I just bought my license but still don't have enough points to post a real link so you'll have to copy paste a little.

http://littlecomposers.com/apps/pre-piano-lite.html

My goal is to replace the Flash apps asap and then add in the missing features (as I learn more about C2).

Thanks,

Alright!

Installing the last release and re-creating the app worked and I am very happy with the result.

I hope to implement the snap feature next ....

Too bad that I can't post a link yet because I'd love to get a little bit of feedback to see what you think?

It's been a loooong day .... but I accomplished what I wanted to.

eli0s, I just exported without minifying which works.

Anyway. I am happy with the progress. I am confident that I can replace my Flash apps soon which is why I am trying out C2 in the first place.

I'll bug you later

Yeah, I can't export.

The msg says:

Check failure! Minifier did not output a file ....

Anyway, I probably will have to uninstall this beta, install the latest release and try again.

If I works, I will buy a license and the rest will be history!

UPDATE!

If I uncheck "minify", I can export ....

So far, I've exported about five builds successfully but I think t hat was before I installed the latest beta.

I'm almost there....

Unfortunately, C2 crashes during export which is probably because I've installed the latest beta the other day to open a file someone made.

Anyway, I have the app "ready enough" to be useful.

Soon I will be able to post links and then it will be much easier to give advise.

I just restarted the PC. Maybe I will be able to make an export ... will see.

Hi eli0s,

I finally got it (looking the way I want to).

The instrument plays well too and I am happy.

I probably did it the hard way but as you say, 12 sprites with not much movement and no physics action should be very light on any device.

Now I need to figure out how to create a new text object every time I drag it from its original position, then I have something to show!

Again, thank you for your help and patience. -v

Hi eli0s,

I played with the file and tried to dissect it so that would understand how it works.

Yes, it is a piano that functions but I don't understand why there is only one key used for everything.

I wasn't able to adapt it to implement what I envision (which is to replace an existing Flash file with a HTML5 version).

The reason why I want to re-use is that I get very bad performance on my Android powered Galaxy Note3 as there is considerable lag between touch and sound playback.

Now I am trying to optimize the piano to see if I still could make it work somehow.

Once I have that, I'd love to buy C2 and publish the instruments on my website.

I am still new to C2 and it will take a few days until I make sense of it all.

Maybe sometime in the future I will be able to understand your file and redo the project.

Sorry for the confusion. - v

I am trying to make a piano keyboard but use instances of one sprite which represents one of 12 keys.

I'd like to have a different color for every key.

Should I just make 12 sprites?

Basically, the app is really simple.

All there is is a piano keyboard with keys that have a one frame animation.

Plus, there would be notes which can be dragged on screen to make a composition.

Any hints, or links to tutorials would be most appreciated. - thanks guys
