file Support .swf + Itunes format support.

Hi Dj

Yes I think you got it spot-on, some of the suggestions are good practical ones, and some sound good until you try to write them into the program, thats usually where I realise that something wont work or just doesnt make sense.

Anyways, we have about 8 or 10 tweaks/features that will make it through and we are gonna test them over the next few weeks, If all goes well it would be ideal to release V2.6 at the same time as our new board.

The new board looks nothing like Kim, its smaller, lighter & easier to use, it just has an input for 1 (pulse) coin acceptor and will simply spit out an 'F1' (coin1) to your PC for each coin pulse it receives.

There are'nt any settings to change on the new board so you dont need any reflashing program or anything like that, the keycodes are fixed to match both JBP & VBX, plug & play  .

The idea with the new board is that it will be simple enough for noobs to play with  , yet it has an interesting feature that I think old-hands like yourself will enjoy  .

The board is expected sometime end of this month, in the meantime we have some tweaks to make to the firmware & the documentation to write up.
If all goes well it's lift-off around the end of October.

The name of the new board is 'Coin Kit' tm.

Hi Dj

Think its section 2 of the Videobox manual, user attract file (my.html), why not embed your swf in the html web page!.

[Dj4nrv]

   HTML embed
i was thinking more along the lines of sticking the .swf in a folder. 
i really do need to no more about Html and flash though.......
i will let you know how i get on......

[rob sullivan]

JPEG all the way....... Draw it in 'paint' add your photo etc. Stick it in the folder.......... Job done......... "NEXT"

[Dj4nrv]

jpegs are for amateurs !!! and you can't do video ads either with jpegs

[Steve]

Dj

Just tell me the name of your.swf file or attach it and I'l embed it in a html for you, its easy.

[rob sullivan]

Alright Dj, no need to rub it in. But if I am honest, it's too much effort for me. I update the adverts and attracts every week.

I actually stole one idea of off here. I now do an advert with my chosen 'top track of the week' with the album art etc. Simple idea, but really effective. Top suggestion, but can't remember who did it, might have even been you!

[Dj4nrv]

yeah that was me.i did a quick mock up of one for the chase and status track just to see how the feature worked. glad you took it on board.
I actually got the idea from the sound leisure jukes. they have an album of the month category. and have an ad that shows the featured album for that month.
the SL ads are .swf too.
hence the request.

[rob sullivan]

Anyone got the time to help me with a flash video or something for the adverts? I have no idea where to even start.

Should I firstly be looking to draw out some 'frames' of a moving image? like 5 or 6? is that how it works?
