[_] Anon 3433624 My first, and likely last, flash. Marked for deletion (old).

>> [_] Anon 3433637 >># what's with that long pause, it's even longer than usually with using mp3s as song lops
>> [_] Anon 3433638 Cool anon but you should trim the song so it loops better
>> [_] Anon 3433648 >># No, as faggot king I demand more
>> [_] Anon 3433657 >># >># There's no pause/skip at all when I play it.
>> [_] Anon 3433659 >># why? i saved your first flash, which is high praise indeed. you've got promise, kid. it's too early to hang it up.
>> [_] Anon 3433660 >># most peculiar, it loops well now
>> [_] Anon 3433667 >># I'd have loved to go deeper into it and do more than just take somebody else's gif and add a music loop over it, but that takes time that flash doesn't have. I simply got to the game too late. I might do more silly loops like this in the coming months, but I really just wanted to contribute something to this community while I could.
>> [_] Anon 3433691 MYA-NEE!!!
>> [_] Anon 3433724 >># flash isn't going away just because mainstream browsers are dropping it. when you click a .swf file on /f/ this time next year you will get a "Open?" dialog and after pressing yes it will play in your offline flash player. it's not that much different except you need to download 100% before it plays. some people will use a different browser that still supports flash and then nothing changes for at least a couple more years. personally i will switch to Firefox Extended Support Release.
>> [_] Anon 3433726 >># but flash will live for indefinitely longer? right now isn't any better/worse than ca. 2010, which already was past flash's prime
>> [_] Anon 3433728 >># yeah, I got it the first time I embeded it too, then I opened it in a full tab and after 2 times it looped perfectly all of a sudden, huh
>> [_] Anon 3433737 >># flash was still in its prime in 2010, it started falling out of grace in 2013 but was still used A LOT when the announcement was made in 2017 that the major browsers banded together to say they just didn't give a shit about all the websites that relied on flash and were going to force-kill it after 2020
>> [_] /f/orever and ever 3433738 >># If you like flash, you will change your browser to keep using it. If you don't want to do that, then download and run them locally or use a different browser just for flash. If that's still too much for you, then you deserve that flash died for you. There is a difference between force killing and making it just SLIGHTLY inconvenient for you to use. Brainlets will always just follow the shiny button trends, if you want to you can use flash as long as you live. Personally I switched browser and everything went better than expected. Palemoon is like an uncucked version of firefox with indefinite plugin support. Sure you need the odd little tweak maybe once or twice, apart from that there is literally no downside. Google syndicate plebs are why we can't have nice things anymore.
>> [_] Anon 3433749 >># This. Make flash content and export as webms for the normies?
>> [_] Anon 3433750 >># i'm currently watching flash on google chrome and will continue to do so as long as i can being indoors all year has helped me enjoy it. but i've downloaded anything i can't get from swfchan or 420chan and am looking for a good flash playing software.
>> [_] Anon 3433766 >># Download the projector.
>> [_] Anon 3433771 >># you're wrong to think the companies are just adding a "slight inconvenience" instead of force-killing flash. when you can no longer publish flashes online and have people watch them embedded, like most communities expect, the production of new swf files will drop dramatically. that is why it is a force-kill and not a "slight inconvenience". everybody can enjoy java applets these days too, offline, but how many new ones are made? palemoon works like garbage on many websites. can't even play certain movies. performance is bad as well when for example resizing a big webpage. it's just too outdated and will only become more broken over time. firefox extended support release is the way to go and then we just hope proper alternatives come out in a year or two, ones that do not cripple modern sites. but i agree that google syndicate plebs are ruining the web. chrome users are the worst.
>> [_] Anon 3433772 >># >i've downloaded anything i can't get from swfchan if you have found worthwhile flashes that aren't already on swfchan then upload them there!
>> [_] Anon 3433775 >># >># I understand and feel the nostalgia of flash, but why go through so much effort to maintain it in your browser? It's not like the actual content itself is going anywhere, and we will always have the projector to view it. Flash professional was simply rebranded to animate, and content creators now export to html5 instead of swf. It all functions the same way; essentially, the only thing that will change for the viewer is the file type. I'm not saying you're wrong for wanting to hold on, I'm just curious.
>> [_] Anon 3433776 >># >html5 functions the same way as swf If only you knew how wrong you were.
>> [_] Anon 3433777 >># I meant for the user. I understand that they are not very similar past that.
>> [_] Anon 3433781 The thing I noticed about inexperienced creators is they're perfectly fine presenting a finished product completely untrimmed around the edges. The clipped visuals, the space in the music. I've been making shit for so long that I can't remember why anyone would look at this and go, "Yeah I don't need to fix those before I upload this." I wonder sometimes if people even watch the shit they make before they upload it. Alright otherwise I guess.
>> [_] Anon 3433787 >># I polished it to the best of my ability. The gif I used had quite a few stray pixels, which I'm super anal about. As for the 'clipped visuals,' I assumed that most people would view it embedded and in the default resolution, in which case the visuals would fit the border. The audio clip I used is a perfect loop, which I stretched to fit the framerate, but nothing I did seemed to make it run correctly. I tried cutting it just a bit short to compensate for the skip, but it was always too fast or too slow. Do you have any tips for making audio loop smoothly? I have more ideas, and I'd like to execute them well.
>> [_] Anon 3433797 >># You likely have a bit faster connection than the others. >># >># >># >># >># The gap is caused by buffering; there's a "magic size" on some flashes where some of it is still downloading by the time one of the looping assets ends, and the movie will not re-start its timeline until this is finished. Using a preloader fixes this, and is always recommended. Preloaders are stupid simple to implement. The reason it plays seamlessly the second time you open it is because it's now already in the browser's cache and doesn't need to be downloaded again. Also, always use a stage-sized mask over your content so you don't have noob edges when the flash has been resized to a different aspect ratio. For things you intend to be visible beyond the borders, like sauce, put it on a layer above the mask. Now you're prepared to make pro loops.
