i would like to produce some educational "film clips"( ie mini
lessons). If these were to be used on web it would seem that Flash
is the best solution. However I would prefer not to have to leave
RealBasic behind and learn Flash.
Besides if I wanted to put all the clips together into an
educational product then Flash doesn't have quite the features I want.
Note that at this stage I have very limited knowledge of Flash
except for the fact that it is becoming quite a web standard for
animation etc.
Is anybody doing any work with producing Flash movies from
RealBasic code. Obviously not all features of RB could be
converted to a Flash movie. I also wouldn't need to use all the
capabilities of Flash.
Am I 'barking up the wrong tree'?
Looking at problem from another direction - it would be good if
Flash movies could be incorporated into RB program (without use of
QuickTime). Is this possible? Has anyone had any success in this
area?.
Perhaps there might be a tool for producing Flash movies without
having to use Actionscript. These could then be incorporated into a
RealBasic program which is much better for doing such things as
maintaining student records etc
Any ideas or discussion would be most welcome.
You're not the only person looking for a way to do this.
There is an open source project called MING that, if it were turned
into a plugin, a number of people would be interested in using it.
I've mucked about with getting MING to compile on OS X and while it
compiles it doesn't DO anything or me.
The included C test app produces no output except an empty SWF file.
Very few others that I've been able to locate on the web have gotten
MING to compile and work on OS X
IF there were someone with more time to take this on I think there
would be several people who'd pay for it
