Hi cneofotistos,

I get this error when I try to click on your link:

HTTP1.1 STATUS 403 Remote Access to this object forbidden This file cannot be directly accessed from a remote site, but must be linked through the Brinkster Member's site.

-ZuZu :)

[cneofotistos]

thank you Kat! I couldn't have known, since I obviously do have access...

I'll fix it in a moment

[cneofotistos]

thank you very much both for the info and for the interest. it was stupid of me :)

here's a link that should work

The piano work is beautiful. You are a very talented pianist.

Nice transitioning between visuals as well.

Typography fits your message.

:tu: :tu:

[cneofotistos]

thanks again

[thelonious]

rats, it's an .exe file

[cneofotistos]

yes, it is a stand-alone flash projector file

[Kathy]

It's okay T. It won't bite.

The Flash projector files are .exe You can tell it's flash by the icon in your treeview.

No biggie.

[Nikko]

Sweet, Christos. Moody, ethereal. Good stuff. Coming from a fellow musician, of sorts.

[Caliban Tiresias Darklock]

Thats just fantastic man :) Brilliant work.

I personally never got into the piano. I desperately wanted to but never got the chance. Although I have been playing guitar most of my life now :)

What I meant kat was than I'm on a mac ;¬

Is it possible to get it into a mac?

[Kathy]

OH! my bad. I didn't know you were a Macer, T.

Some people fear the .exe ;)

I can't answer your question unfortunetly. I've never driven a Mac.

[juandel]

argh, no .exe possibilities on a mac, i’m afraid. whats even worse: i just downloaded the newest mac-flashplayer and am still told that "this site needs the flash-plugin" upon accessing darksprite.com... just a blank space to be seen :( :( :(

[thelonious]

fear not juandel, Christos was kind enough to send me the .swf file so I'll send it to you.

Wonderful clip Christos.


BTW I notice that the swf file is only 172kb and it looks fantistic on the quicktime player. I know quicktime is made for Windoze as well and is also free, so I was wondering what was the reason for supplying it as a 300kb exe?

[cneofotistos]

tx thel. sorry hansl..
I posted as an .exe because not all people have the standalone swf player, plus the quicktime player download is far more massive than the extra 100kb that go into the .exe file. I just thought it would be a good idea. thanx for proving me wrong! :) I'll make two versions now. love, christos

[thelonious]

Goddammit christos, here's your golden opportunity to force people to download the very wonderful quicktime player. Get one back on microsoft. It does everything. Including very fast viewing of Jpegs. ;¬

[cneofotistos]

:) I don't hate microsoft all that much. I must be honest. mac is so much more reliable, and I've been an apple user since before 1990-even before the macintosh came out- but you know the disadvantages; less applications make it to the mac. some little tools that I can't part with are coded for windows :S
but I feel it's fair to give microsoft a kick in the nuts from time to time. when LINUX begun to rise alarmingly, windows coders suddenly became so much more CAREFUL AND SCRUPULOUS :)
I will make it a quicktime file AND an .exe, and strongly recommend the former.
this is an honest solution for a non-fanatic :)

[juandel]

perfectyfantastico! i mean both the clip and the service, amigos!!! :D thanks a lot Thelonious and bravissimo, Christos! :tu: :tu: :tu: :tu: + a few :tu:s more! viva compability as well :D

[Grub]

Impressive and interesting work for your first video, The musical score was a perfect match. :) :tu: :)

Christos,

I noticed a problem in your source code which is keeping Mac users, such as juandel (I assume) and I from accessing the swf files on your website.

In your "index.html" you have the following code:

&lt;EMBED src="Enter Movie.swf" quality=high bgcolor=#FFFFFF WIDTH=550 HEIGHT=400 TYPE="application/x-shockwave-flash" PLUGINSPAGE="http://www.macromedia.com/shockwave/download/index.cgi?P1_Prod_Version=ShockwaveFlash"&gt;&lt;/EMBED&gt;

it should read:

&lt;EMBED src="index.swf" quality=high bgcolor=#FFFFFF WIDTH=550 HEIGHT=400 TYPE="application/x-shockwave-flash" PLUGINSPAGE="http://www.macromedia.com/shockwave/download/index.cgi?P1_Prod_Version=ShockwaveFlash"&gt;&lt;/EMBED&gt;

For the following page (main/main.html) you have:

&lt;EMBED src="Flash SITE13.swf" menu=false quality=high bgcolor=#000000 WIDTH=697 HEIGHT=604 TYPE="application/x-shockwave-flash" PLUGINSPAGE="http://www.macromedia.com/shockwave/download/index.cgi?P1_Prod_Version=ShockwaveFlash"&gt;&lt;/EMBED&gt;

It should read:

&lt;EMBED src="main.swf" menu=false quality=high bgcolor=#000000 WIDTH=697 HEIGHT=604 TYPE="application/x-shockwave-flash" PLUGINSPAGE="http://www.macromedia.com/shockwave/download/index.cgi?P1_Prod_Version=ShockwaveFlash"&gt;&lt;/EMBED&gt;

It looked like the page titles somehow replaced the names of the swf file. "Enter Movie.swf" for "index.swf" and "Flash SITE13.swf" for "main.swf"

Hope this helps. After all, we Mac users also appreciate great art. :D
