By the way .. i like the title of "to see stupid chinese wathing 
atomic bomb explosion"   those chinese... crack me up..

hm, it's not so funny, they were really watching atomic explosion. 
And probably were not so stupid, just the leaders who forced them 
do such a experiments.

just found that the movies for this example http://box.lebeda.ws/~hmm/rswf/index.php?example=116
were missing - in the movie in the middle are czech soldiers on acid 
and the rest are the same chinese soldiers preparing to watch atomic 
explosion.

Thanks Oldes. I will check those out.

I've added an experiment with the Flash's security model http://box.lebeda.ws/~hmm/rswf/index.php?example=161
(there is added new tag so update your rswf dialect from the page) 
I'm not sure if it's working, but it should because it produces the 
same thing as this Macromedia's tool http://www.macromedia.com/support/flashplayer/downloads.html#lcu

Love that elasticboy. That's funny.

Oldes, all very good examples. Thanks.

I got to see a demo of this product : www.Lazlosystems.com which 
is a language that spews out both Flash and JavaScript. (and they 
look the same).

I've just updated the dialect to be able override the default settings 
for maximum recursion depth and ActionScript time-out: http://box.lebeda.ws/~hmm/rswf/index.php?example=162

james: the elasticboy is not my flash file! it's just a test if it's 
possible to download movie from other domain.

Yes, but it's still funny. Keep up th egood work.

I'm just looking what's new with Flash 8.5 (beta) http://labs.macromedia.com

ech, for the first look I don't like it. For example this card game 
(Klondike) http://www.darronschall.com/playground/klondike3.swfhas 
229663

(bytes) And don't see any reason, why it requires Flash 8.5  - it 
can be done in Flash 4

And you must have a Flex Builder which has 112MB = must be all the 
industrial standards so huge?

Hm, ActionScript 3.0 has new datatype - unsigned integer

New site made in Rebol/Flash dialect:   http://bonboniere.miss3.cz/

very nice!

Ditto!

Very cool.

Now, Oldes, when are we going to see how you do all that magic for 
the websites? :^ )

initial sync...

New site made in Rebol/Flash dialect http://www.miss3.cz/(still 
requires some improvements)

Nice one ...

I like the way the pictures rearrange when you resize the window...

Interesting........................there is a look to photos taken 
in Europe (mostly East Europe) which is really noticeable in these 
photos.


Like someone set up one very big light, and had 10 minutes to shoot 
everything…very odd.  They did this in America about 30 years ago.

Oops, sory, I guess we should be admiring the code, not the photos 
LOL

Excellent.

On photos: It is always amazing to see how all the  'mode trends' 
& 'art' are recycling. :)

New version (2.0.0) of Rebol/Flash dialect (RSWF) is available here: 
http://box.lebeda.ws/~hmm/rswf/(the page was down, but now running 
again)

uncompressed version of the dialect is here: http://box.lebeda.ws/~hmm/rswf/rswf_2.0.0.r

What about silverlight ?  :)

there is still a lot of things to do (for example usage of Func2 
action tag is not finished yet, but this is the version of the dialect 
I used to compile the flash site above and I was also able to compile 
all the old examples (except one) Some of them with a little code 
changes.

what's with silverlight?

Isn't that the MS version flash ?

I still have a lot of things to imrove on my Flash compiler.. I don't 
want to play with some XML toy which can need ages to be available 
on so many computers as Flash is now

(ok, you can use c# to create silverlight apps, but anyway... I don't 
believe, it will took off soon)

Anyway.. the main reason to rewrite the actions parser was, that 
everything was hardcoded, now it first translates actions into instructions, 
which are compiled on second pass... so it's now possible to better 
dubug the compilers results... for example:

do http://box.lebeda.ws/~hmm/rswf/rswf_latest.r
>> acompiler/translate [a: 1 + 2 + b]
== [["a" 1 2 aAdd "b" aGetVariable aAdd aSetVariable]]
>> compile-actions [a: 1 + 2 + b]
== #{960D0000610007010000000702000000479603000062001C471D}

>> rswf/parse-ActionRecord compile-actions [a: 1 + 2 + b]
     aPush ["a" 1 2]
     aAdd2 #{47}
     aPush ["b"]
     aGetVariable #{1C}
     aAdd2 #{47}
     aSetVariable #{1D}

Oldes - what is the real purpose of your dialect? Is it just for 
you, who likes REBOL coding? I mean - do you think that eventual 
Flash "programmer" could find such way of creating Flash stuff useful?

I find it useful and that's enough.

I did not want to offend you. I never worked with Flash, so my question 
was just curiousity, if creating Flash stuff that way could be usefull 
outside REBOL community, or would 99% ppl prefer visual IDE for such 
purpose?

I would like to create something like a rebol/flash vid in a future. 
and what I can say is, that I don't like the visual IDE too much 
for coding. All the actions on different frames and in different 
sprites.

And it's always good to know, how something internally works. That's 
what I'm doing - learning.

Thank you Oldes! I really would like to learn using your dialect! 
I hate Adobe IDE as well ;-)

for example now.. I've found, that there is one tag I was not aware 
of - 35 ( DefineBitsJPEG3 ) which is JPG compressed image with additional 
alpha channel.

Oldes' dialect  is something I always wanted to study, but never 
managed. Adobe's products are very interesting as well to study, 
so I delved more time in learning actionscript directly. Next on 
my list is Flex. But Oldes' dialect is a feat on itself.

Oldes: many developers don't like to code in the Flash visual IDE, 
like you, that's why Adobe came up with Flex. The good news is that 
the SDK is open source.
