ok, i just did a quick animation test, and it either: doesnt like having a background colour set, didnt like the colour (#6925AF), or you have to do a colour layer.

my text also had weird colouring.

Well, I'm not very good with flash... at all, but I read over this whole thread.  I put all the files from Hexic on a disc and burnt them, but with one change.  Instead of the original hexicdeluxe.swf file, I exported that flash web browser someone linked to earlier as a flash 6 swf (because that's supposed to enable zlib... I think?).  Anyway, I took that, a keyboard, and a mouse and hooked it up to the 360.  I figured, since the xbox supports keyboards and mice, why not see if it would work with the flash file?  Well... it displayed the splash.swf file, and then froze.  It didn't even display the browser file, just froze.  The controller stopped working as well.  Not like it would have really mattered... I can't even get that browser to work correctly on my PC.  What I really want to know though is if you can use your keyboard/mouse in conjunction with the flash files.  I tried using the keyboard to play hexic off my hd, but that didn't work.  Another odd thing... I noticed that after I attempted to play the flash browswer... when I went back to my guide it took about 20 seconds to load up a live game.  Now... I don't know if this was because I had a keyboard and mouse plugged in, or if it was because I had tried to boot that other flash file, but they took forever to load up, and it made it seem like the 360 had froze.  I originally thought the 360 was frozen and restarted a few times, then decided to wait a little longer.  Once I loaded one, the next one loaded insantly like normal... odd though.  Anyway... someone else want to see if they can get a keyboard/mouse working with flash?  I'd try something but it's almost 4 am now so I'm gonna hit the sack.

CODE
getProperty()
does not work.

Games are an Immediate posibility, although nowhere near the endgame this is too much fun. Stay Tuned for "Super Battle Checkers"

There was rumers about the 360 been able to run homebrew before it came out, maybe MS was gonna suprise us once the 360s flash player is more stable. Either way i dont care as long as i can play homebrew  happy.gif  Keep up the good work all!! laugh.gif

M$ had specifically stated in the past that homebrew would be possible through Xbox Live Arcade, although I doubt they meant in this way  tongue.gif

Anways, while browsing the kiosk disk i noticed that kingkong was an EXE file, but when i try to run it on my computer it says the program is too big to fit in the memory, just putting out food for thought


The same happens when you try to run the compatibility update default.xex renamed to default.exe.
So king kong is basically just a a xex file with a different extension. It will not run on Windows even if you have more memory, its built on PPC platform. Correct me if i'm right, but this has been already discussed on another forum.

No support for mouse in XB360!
None of the flash application work like expected on Xbox 360 before modifying atleast the input commands.

could someone help me decompile the swf with FlashPlayer 7 SDK and Visual Basic 6?

You want Sothink's SWF Decompiler.

Or just use a CDRW smile.gif Works fine too.

Btw, it's true that the background color of your .swf isn't used by the flashplayer on the xbox360. It uses a fixed white background color. If you want some other color, you have to use a colored rectangle smile.gif

Genecyber: nice clock! smile.gif looking forward to "Super Battle Checkers" wink.gif btw, too bad getProperty() doesnt work. That would have made certain things a bit easier.

I used PIRSTOOLS to extract the contained files.

fyi - Binaries of my Windows builds of xboxdumper and PIRSTOOLS are now on xbins in
/PC/Xbox 360 Tools/Harddrive Tools/xboxdumper/
and
/PC/Xbox 360 Tools/PIRSTools/
should anyone else wish to retrieve their own HexicHD files.  smile.gif

You might want to have a look at http://www.secretlevel.com/ , as it is a strong possibility that they are the creators of the flash player we are toying with.

My lead :
http://www.xbox.com/...S/dev/tools.htm
"Secret Level Tools, Inc.
Flash Player
http://www.secretlevel.com"

Side Note : If anyone wants to work on flash experiments on IM or otherwise, PM me. I have a second premium now just for testing.
