I'm having trouble placing a swf at the bottom right of my screen using the accode flash plugin pro.

I set my screen to 1024x768


then I load the swf and position it



it does not go to the bottom right of my screen... See Attachment.

I figured what if the dll was ignoring the

set display mode 1024,768,32

and was still reading my desktop res of 1280x1024, so I tried putting in the bottom right poisition of a 1280x1024

position flash flash,1146,860

sure enough the swf showed at the bottom right corner of my 1024x768 window but it flickered.

Is there a fix or did I miss setting up something?

Thanks in advance.

Well it looks like the code in the DLL checks the desktop size rather than the DBP window size. I have seen some people make this mistake when writing DLL's. It is not really something you think about right away when writing functions. You will most likely need to get a fixed DLL. But first see if putting it off by one pixel makes it not flicker (position it at 1145,859). If it still flickers then it's the DLL and there is nothing you can do about it without a fixed DLL.

Bring the power of .Net 2.0 to DarkBASIC Pro with the Dark NET Framework.

I've tried that already and it flickered.
all values beyond the display mode 1024x768 flickers.

the dll places the swf onto my desktop res then scale the values down to the dbp windows size

I guess I'll have to get a fixed dll... urgh.
I've emailed accode support, I hope to hear from them soon.

Thanks for looking into it.

Does anyone know "Monster"'s email?

Last time I emailed accode support it took 15 days to hear back from them.

Its not cool when you have deadlines and you need to know if the problem could be fixed in time.

If anyone have an alternative solution for using a swf for a hud compass with angle read out, maybe using sprites, or a 3d solution??? then please share your ideas

thanks

Have you tried just using the SPRITE system and then just ROTATE sprite?

I am putting myself to the fullest possible use, which is all I think that any conscious entity can ever hope to do. ~Hal-9000

Thanks Zerk, yeah thats what I'm playing with now. I haven't used sprites much before, so I'm learning.

the compass I have has three components compass rose, red hairline, and azimuth readout, and the flash dll let me drag the whole compass around and place it where I want.

sprites is a solution for this case but the dll is still broke

You can still move it around with a bit of code to check if the mouse click was in the sprite boundries then reposition the sprite to the new mouse location.

I've been having fun with sprites. I took out the flash compass, I've added the sprite one and added a mini map with moving dot to show your position.

I still want the dll fixed though, just in case I really do need flash to show in a certain location.
