What sort of loop?

Looping animation with a looping music, like in the OP.

Thanks. I'm guessing it's not any different with a video instead of an animation or w/ever?

Nope. Video, flash animation, gifs, just pop them in between those two bits of code that control
the music and you're good. Just make sure when you encode the video you leave "encode audio"
unchecked, otherwise you'll have overlapping sound.
If you want to do repeating actionscript stuff in those frames, you can either write code to be
executed in each animation frame, or write a function, say,
update(){
//stuff goes here
}
in the first frame, and call it from each animation frame. with update();

Actionscript is super easy. Just google around or look at the documentation if you don't know how
to do something.

I just decided to download CS6 on a whim a few weeks ago and threw together several little
flashes.
It's super fucking easy. There are a couple of good tips, though:
>Optimize your gifs
>Encode your sound as 44khz speech unless you want it to sound like shit
>Encode your sound through Adobe Media Encoder as a .wav, because the .mp3 format has a defect
which creates a small silence between the end of a loop and its restart (.wav will be larger, but
the silence is annoying and ruins timed loops).
>> [_] Anonymous 03/19/15(Thu)12:47 No.2722097
>>2722095
Actually, if you import to Flash as a wav but let Flash encode it as an MP3 for export, there
shouldn't be a gap.

Flash video can be one of many formats. It's just that with GIFs, you have the option of frames
being replaced or additive. With additive, you only need to store the data for the pixels that
change. With replacement, you need the full data for every frame.
>> [_] Anonymouz 03/19/15(Thu)13:18 No.2722127

I don't understand that shit at all.
Does that mean I can use a highly optimized vid source like what webm's use?

>> [_] Anonymous 03/19/15(Thu)13:22 No.2722131

Yes, but you shouldn't, because Flash is designed for animation, not video. Video in Flash has
serious sync issues.
>> [_] Anonymous 03/19/15(Thu)13:23 No.2722133
>>2722127
If you have a gif which is composed of two frames, the second of which has all of the same pixels
as the first image apart from one small section, the second frame (when optimized) will contain
only the DIFFERENT pixels. All of the space where the two frames are the same will not exist in
the second frame. If you overlay the second frame onto the first frame, you get an animation.
This uses less space than having the second frame contain the full image.
gif is an ancient file format which was used as a 'lossless' format before png was invented. Webm
is relatively new, and much more sophisticated because it uses I-frames, P-frames and B-frames.
Flash wasn't designed to support something that sophisticated.

but doesn't .wav murder the quality?
Pardon me if I'm wrong.
>> [_] Anonymous 03/19/15(Thu)13:40 No.2722142

.wav is uncompressed. It's the highest quality possible. You could literally not be more wrong.
>> [_] Anonymous 03/19/15(Thu)13:41 No.2722143
>>2722140
It's a lot bigger for the same quality, but when you render it it gets re-sampled smaller anyway.
I don't think you can really get excellent-quality sound through Adobe CS unless you stream it
from an external source, but that's just my assessment from having made a half-dozen or so
flashes.

Figure it out yourself, faggot. Asking for tips is one thing, but if you can't be motivated to

Worst part is Adobe also dropped plans to support wubms as well.
So we won't be getting any high quality video in flash.

Webm is just a container for VP8/9.
Flash supports H.264 so it's not a huge deal.

Great idea, then you can make exactly the same flash someone else has already made! Flash can fun
when you do it in a controlled and predictable way.

There is literally no reason to modify Flash to support Webm. The work would start from the
ground up, so they may as well start from scratch rather than trying to adjust every single
function to be compatible. That's why they didn't bother trying.

Flash is a old program. It's libraries are dated. You can only improve on software up to a
certain point, after that it starts getting unreliable. /f/'s days are counted.

It works well if you use it for what it was designed for, which is vector animation and web
applications.

It doesn't stop it from becoming obsolete. From a resource management perspective there are

Then by all means, name the other, more efficient, widely adopted, cross-platform, self-contained
file format that supports vector graphics, animation, and programming, and we'll all switch to
that.
