Hey folks,

The FlashTease editor has come a long way. We even ported the entire FlashTease system into a different programming language. But now we need your help!

I've heard from many of you that you don't like scripting and you'd rather have a visual editor where you can point and click your way through the FlashTease creation process.

So, how should that editor look? Go wild! Do you want to drag & drop things around? Do you want to be able to switch entire chunks of your tease? What is important to you regarding the editor? What is less important?

Just go wild. I have no idea if you guys have any thoughts on this or not, but I wanna hear them if you do. Of course we will be able to change the editor later on, but the more we get right the first time the more work that saves us.

Cheers,

Seraph0x :-)

Flash editors are expensive. Just priced it on the Adobe web site.

Since I don't know squat about Flash, but am quite interested in learning, I would go with either option.

However, for the majority of the folks on the site who have no interest in scripting, it's probably best to go with the simplest user effort, which means little or no scripting.

If you do go with the scripting, here is a nice little tutorial from a very good organization.

As I said..I am a billionaire,so if the guy manages some strange programming,where you can move things around(I'm not aware other then Adobe doing that)..he must be also aware of the speeds of internet connections..........and the etc....I will finance him.But first he must prove it,not brag.If he makes a working software,capable of downloading at normal speeds(internet,accounting for slow-downs,about 7kb/s at least.I have 1Gb per second,but I own the company...so I don't count)

If he does that,I will finance him.
If not..I will fuck him in the ass with my 2 inch LORD dick.
That's all I wanted to say.

There is a reason why we don't immediately release early development software to the public: Security. That's why we have a Team of folks that I can trust and who are already happily playing with it and a testing squad who will get their hands on it pretty soon. There is a lot going on behind the scenes, my friend, all so you can enjoy a pretty bug-free experience when the features are finally released.

Ok, I guess it was a mistake to call it "Flash"Tease. Yes, technically if you are watching a FlashTease it is being played in your browser by the Adobe Flash Player. But just like you can create Adobe PDF files with Microsoft Word you can also create Flash files with our very own FlashTease editor.

So, let me clear up a few points:
- You don't need to buy Flash!
- You don't need to learn Flash or ActionScript or anything like that.
- There will be a standalone editor that will run directly in your browser with which you can create FlashTeases.
- FlashTeases are based on the FlashTease scripting language. However, we will create an editor that does all the scripting for you in the background. You can still see and change the script if you want to.
- The FlashTease scripting language is a programming language that I invented specifically for the FlashTease system.

You are not a billionaire, you are a teenager from *removed* with too much free time. I won't ban you because there is a chance that you are actually mentally retarded, in which case that would be discrimination, but if you keep posting information about who you are going to "fuck", I will start to delete your posts. Clear?

Edit: Sorry for disclosing what country you're from. Even the worst troll doesn't deserve that. Removed. Sorry.

Sorry, man. I didn't mean to make your job harder. But, it's good to get an explanation. Thanks.

Nonono. You didn't make my job harder at all. Quite the contrary, I'm glad you asked!! :smile:

The thing is, it's sometimes hard to know what you guys are thinking and how our work as the Team and my work in particular is perceived, so I'm always thankful for every feedback, comment, question or suggestion I can get! :-)

Cool. As a tease writer, I am very excited about the opportunities this opens up creatively. Very, very cool.

i think the thing i would like most from the flash editor is the possibilities, the multiple choices and what not, i.e if you make this choice it leads you down this route, much like how the system works for interactive stories over at writing.com or whatever it's called.

Teases totally need widgets.

You know, dice the authors can drag and drop onto their teases, Randomisers, puzzles, checklists...

That would be totally awesome. totally.

Just registered there. Always great to see how other people have done it, thanks for the hint. :-)

This is exactly the point of the FlashTease system. So yeah, it will definitely be possible. The first version of the visual editor will probably be limited to very simple multiple choice and timers. But with regard to future improvements: The system itself is incredibly flexible, so whatever you can think of - we can probably do it.

not so much a suggestion for visual editor, but rather for the editor. Is it possible to delay the change in pic but have a button that allows you to continue to another page?

For example if the tease says stroke, but if you need to cum click continue?

This is already possible, here's an example:

Code: Select all

myPage#page(
  "Text",
  pic(),
  vert(go(oops#), delay(5min, success#))
);
vert() will execute multiple commands instead of one and arrange them vertically.
