About AdChiosk Flash
| Flash Effect |
In AdChiosk 3.0, we have now added flash, essentially it is just what you see in TV commercial where you
have the main program playing while flashy information jetting in and out to anywhere you like on the screen
for any amount of time.
AdChiosk flash comes in numerous flavour, and each with a primary effect ( eg. sparkling stars flying across the screen ),
sets of brushes ( draw lines and curves ) and sets of guests ( any amount of animated text or shapes ).
|
| Basic Implementation |
Each flash effect runs on it's own course, it means you will have to pre-define a timeout period, a location where you
want to play the effect to and size of it's enclosing rectangle area. AdChiosk player let's you define 2 moving points,
an enter and a leave for darting in and out of the screen.
|
| Primary Effects |
Except for the ride effect which has no theme, all others comes with a primary pre-define theme that is registered in
the register file, ie. a single entry for each, which consist of the name and it's configuration file.
However you are more likely to have many implementation of the same effect, in this case you can duplicate the configuration
file, set's it parameter differently and then reference from the main AdChiosk schedule.
|
| Brushes |
Brushes depends on points you define. It can join in straight lines or curves, fill or plant clips ( shapes or texts )
on these points.
|
| Guests |
Guests are movie clips of texts, shapes or bitmaps. It can be fixed to a point or animated along points and time.
|
| Points |
There are many different types of points or paths you can define, eg ( straight, round, curve... ) with each, you
specify the number of points, locations and parameters. There are more then 10 types, so you can define interesting
movements along these points.
|
| Clips |
AdChiosk let's you define shapes, text, bitmap as well as it can takes name assets from your swf file and play. When
AdChiosk loads these swf files, it actually also play the content transparently onto the screen, in other words, you
can create your animation in flash and plays onto the AdChiosk screen transparently.
|
| Frames Level Time |
In order to play and show exactly in time and place within each effect. You can choose the frames ( start-frame), level and time ( start ,end )
parameters. Example, by starting brushes in frame 1, playing the guests in frame 10 and then the primary in frame 20, you
are setting the brushes as background, then show the guests and then play the primary effects. It can play in any order.
When you have 2 clips in guest that places on overlapping positions, you can use the level to deteremine which should
place on top of each other etc... Finally time, when animating guest on the screen, just like in flash, you can sets
the start time and end time for these transistion ( in milliseconds ) with an easing option.
|
| Note |
AdChiosk flash plays at 12 frames per seconds. It imports all swf files in frame 1 and then plays itself in frame 2.
The free basic kit supports 5 effects, means it will read the first 5 effects from adchiosk.register ( unique effect ).
However you can still duplicate from these 5 effects to any quantities or create your own animation, output to swf
and use the ride effect to play it.
|
| Licensing |
Each AdChiosk flash effect is an executable, we are providing it free without warranty and it may only runs within
AdChiosk player. Although you may download all effects and include in the register file, AdChiosk player only reads
the allowed quantities according to your product type.
