I'll give it a shot. Someone remind me which site we are trying to rip it from? http://icons.suendigeverfuehrung.de/ This site offers the ability to mix and match Docks and wallpapers. If you could rip from there that would be sweet... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

ClintEastman Posted January 22, 2002 Share Posted January 22, 2002 Why do you need to rip it? All it is, is a simple flash ani with some even simpler actionscript controlling the ani, very easy to replicate! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

linux2 Posted January 22, 2002 Share Posted January 22, 2002 AArrgghhhhhh, The german site is using file redirection, besides denying browser cacheing. Look for jpegs and gifs that are [really] swf files. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ClintEastman Posted January 22, 2002 Share Posted January 22, 2002 Well, first things first, I think you will find that it?s the flash file that is loading the ?off site? swf into DesktopOSXpreview.swf. I have unprotected it and imported it into flash and its all actionscript (you cant import actionscript in flash so its empty!) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Why do think it's loading off-site? It's not uncommon to disguise flash files as images. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Hummer Posted January 22, 2002 Share Posted January 22, 2002 i've downloaded the swf file if you want it still.. i don't know how to edit it and such but i have downloaded it for you fi you still want it. http://www.hummer.org.kg/webpub/QuickSilver.zip Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Dazzla Veteran Posted January 22, 2002 Veteran Share Posted January 22, 2002 Is it just me or is that swf file full of thin air? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
linux2 Posted January 22, 2002 Share Posted January 22, 2002 Thanks, but I fetched it myself. Not sure what you have, but the quicksilver swf file I got is around 62k. Currently trying to get at the actionscript. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ClintEastman Posted January 22, 2002 Share Posted January 22, 2002 got the script! theres a sh*t load of swf's loaded into this movie, so far: http://icons.suendigeverfuehrung.de/prefs.swf http://icons.suendigeverfuehrung.de/loadcontent.swf http://icons.suendigeverfuehrung.de/prevs.swf and theres a folder iconsets/ involved. not found the graphics, but the actionscripting back end is quite large.

Dazzla Veteran Posted January 22, 2002 Veteran Share Posted January 22, 2002 we seem to be getting closer to getting the whole swf package thanks to some people. What does this all mean though as far as getting a working dock? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Dazzla Veteran Posted January 22, 2002 Veteran Share Posted January 22, 2002 Me being the toal and utter newbie when it comes to flash, you may as well be speaking another language (me feels dumb). does all of this mean we're getting closer to having a local, working flash animation?

ClintEastman Posted January 22, 2002 Share Posted January 22, 2002 sorry linux2, but thats just a small part of a loader script for that movie, a more intresting one is _root.attachMovie("dock1", "dock1", 90); _root.attachMovie("dock1", "dock2", 91); dockMc = "dock1"; _root._level50.con = 10; _root._level50.ccon = 30; loadMovieNum ("mask.swf", 100); loadMovieNum ("desktopprevs/" + _root.php4, 2); loadMovieNum ("prefs.swf", 45); _root._level50.osxsimulation = false; _root._level50.externconfigstarticon = ""; or loadMovieNum ("loadcontent.swf", 5); _root.dock1.loadMovie("iconsets/" + _root.cgi); _root.dock1._y = 2000; Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

ClintEastman Posted January 22, 2002 Share Posted January 22, 2002 the problem of your dock idea is that all the hard work cant be done in flash. it would have to be java or vb with a flash front end, plus flash is not very fash, and resource hungry. i might end up like having a slick front end on a 286. Sh*t to cut a long story short. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

ClintEastman Posted January 22, 2002 Share Posted January 22, 2002 By the time you have ripped this appart, and then rebuild it in flash (because utherwise its useless) you could have done a nicer one from scratch. This is the easy end, start on the back end its much harder. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

ClintEastman Posted January 22, 2002 Share Posted January 22, 2002 have a look at http://www.netsource-solutions.com/test/ in the gallery for some things that can be done (this site is in testing). Go to the hosting page, then to the forth page and have a look at the newsplayer to see some dynamic content. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
