Piecemaker 2 is so cool! Even though I'm not a flash fan, I have to hand it to them... its nice and cool and smooth!
One thing though... Is there any way to control it using javascript / jquery? To be more specific, I would like to be able to: - start / pause the transitions - change its content (images etc) dynamically
Am I asking for too much?
eNot without modifying the Flash code.you will have to set permissions in flash to accept the communication, also with out the original source you would not know, or where to reference assets that the swf was scripted: For examples; variables, sprites , placeholders and functions that determine the interactivity within the SWF.
You will proberly find the transitions are codded with a library so it will not be possible to simply pause the SWF as theres proberly only 1 frame aswell.
you will need to reference that scripted animation and wich may not consist of a pause method at all.
I believe the way to do it is detailed here. Unfortunately my flash skills are non-existant. Anyone with flash skills out there to give it a go? Piecemaker 2 is a cool piece of code and I think many people could use the ability to control it using javascript.
