2Kinds Reader Beta 0.1

*moved from tech to art due to aggravating fail on views/responses there*
Unfortunately, "[flash] is OFF", so I can't just post the flash directly onto this post. Oh well.

I got bored last night and had an extra 5 minutes to spare, so I went a little overboard with the loadMovie() command in AS2 and created... well, this. It's an ultra-simple app that loads the comic in one easily(ish) readable location.

I haven't coded ANY special functions for it yet, so basically just hit the right-facing arrow on the top (look familiar? lol) and it'll load page 1, then hit it again and it will load nothing (I have it set up so all that happens is button press -> imagename+1 (IE 20031022.jpg becomes 20031023.jpg, etc), if there's an image with that name it loads it, if not... too bad.) because page 2 is actually 20031024.jpg... so basically, at this particular moment in time just hit the button and wait for a sec, and if nothing happens just keep on hitting it 'til the next one does load ;) lol

What I plan on doing next is... well basically redoing the whole thing so it doesn't suck |D

Haha, I just realised that I didn't even set it up right and the pages don't even load in the center of the app ^^; ... I'll fix that too ^^;

Honestly, a web based version is kinda pointless IMO. We already have the archive and it works well.
BUT, I'd love to see something that I could put in my TwoKinds comic archive on my hard drive and it would load up the pages from there instead (using the same file names as the web archives). I think something like that would be more practical. Want to read the archives but your internet is down or really slow, load up the flash program and run through it.
What do you think?

*edit* oh and for the issues with the filenames.... Now I do know a little bit of coding but nothing with flash so dunno how it exactly works. What about setting up a code that will check to see if the image name is valid. If it returns invalid, then it tries to load the next image, if valid you get the page you want. How to do that is another thing but it's a place to start :grin:
