Lance McKnight Posted March 31, 2009 Share Posted March 31, 2009 Hello, I was wondering how we all could incorporate flash animation in this forum? What puzzle me is in my UCP, I have enabled flash animation to play, but the options show that is off. I was wondering if there's anyway I could turn it on. Officially retired from this forum. Have a nice day. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
david.atwell Posted March 31, 2009 Share Posted March 31, 2009 Speaking as an admin, I will just have to say... Noooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooo. :-) That is all. The Doctor: There was a goblin, or a trickster, or a warrior... A nameless, terrible thing, soaked in the blood of a billion galaxies. The most feared being in all the cosmos. And nothing could stop it, or hold it, or reason with it. One day it would just drop out of the sky and tear down your world.Amy: But how did it end up in there?The Doctor: You know fairy tales. A good wizard tricked it.River Song: I hate good wizards in fairy tales; they always turn out to be him. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Simon Brown Posted March 31, 2009 Share Posted March 31, 2009 Would YouTube be a possibility (possibly requiring users to accept a disclaimer before being able to see it?) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Simon Brown Posted March 31, 2009 Share Posted March 31, 2009 It just seems more convenient to be able to embed the video in the page and read the rest of the post at the same time. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Lance McKnight Posted March 31, 2009 Author Share Posted March 31, 2009 I got to agree with Simon Brown. I had been wanting to create an interactive gallery using Flash/XML. That way I don't have to constantly add the url/img tags to photobucket, upload pictures to photobuckets, and edit the galleries. It get cumbersome after a while. I was thinking that if I simply edited the XML with the direct link and upload the photo to photobucket, I'll be killing two birds with one stone, and reducing the repititions of editing and editing and editing the main page. That was basically the idea behind my asking about Incorporating flash, but since I see your stance, I guess this thread is pointless. Officially retired from this forum. Have a nice day.

david.atwell Posted April 1, 2009 Share Posted April 1, 2009 The problem is that if we enabled flash, the good stuff (i.e. your gallery) would be outweighed by the bad stuff (eye-bleeding animations, painful interactive gotchas, maybe even spoofing the forum using flash). I think it's a bad idea, and I have a feeling Rick agrees with me. The Doctor: There was a goblin, or a trickster, or a warrior...

Sozo Posted April 1, 2009 Share Posted April 1, 2009 Fine. Whatever. Come on now. I think this would be a cool idea too. But as everyone knows, to the n00b (notice: not newbie) a good image consists of as much blinking, annoying text as possible, in colors from every part of the pastel spectrum as is visible to the human eye. You'd regret it eventually. I guarantee it. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
