What I've done today animated splash

Couldn't figure out how to manipulate the splash plugin. Did this instead. http://youtu.be/2THavAK0Md8 Will work nice with a menu format maybe not so much tabbed. A week off with a strained heel and I've turned into Neo. 10 months never typed code in my life. lol A bit of an homage to mario

Awesome! Will this become a plugin? Or can you write a how-to? This has lots of potential! Chris https://www.churchphoneapps.com

@sheri as I said the other night I can't think of any ideas for apps myself so I may aswell try and make the plugins. @chris1 - I'll have a go at making it a plugin, but with this type of animation for the mario one in the video is 45 pics. It's alot more intuitive to write the code for 45 pics set image 0000 set image 0001 set image 0002 by just editing the last digit press down, than inputting every pic in the control panel. If anyone can think of anything. You can control so far, where the button takes you and what it looks like what music is played if any and does it repeat animation how long and does it repeat Haven't done anything with child items yet in json. looking forward to warrens webinar next tuesday may be the answer or I'll certainly ask the question.

It's very hypnotic it's a perfect loop. Although I'm going to get beaten up if I don't mute the music.

Hi Kittsy. Nice animation. You have done a SplashViewController, there you have add a button which leads to another screen. it is true? As a result of that the refresh button disappears. I dont now if it possible to make the hole ViewController disappear when you hit the button. Like [self.view removeFromSuperview]; Or you can do so when you hit the button you load your screen in your splashViewController.

Yeah it's a splash view controller. As I dig around I reckon I'll be able to get thus into the proper splash without the need for the button

nice work, we should compare notes here. i built the same thing and trying to port over to Android myself before i even think about another plug-in. I used the existing splash plug-in as a base so it would have the same functionality/features everyone is used to. but i'd like to see where you added the audio in and for sure if you get a mute audio on/off button on the screen. totally with you on the adding lists of images to control panel dilema. that's how i see it done in code everywhere, hard coded lines. at least we have a way to add JSON. but learning how to manage/feed those in with an array seems like it would be very useful, like adding menu items - esp if you'd get that ORDER box on the right. then you *could* quickly change the order of the animation from the control panel, just like you change menu items. keep coding- from the couch if necessary....;)

@kittsy You can use a timer. So when you load your splash images you set a timer for 4 sec and then it disapper. Sampel set timer 2 After that load screen bl.a. bl.a. You can do that in viewDidload or willAppear.

@ yeah thats what i'm messing with. It's a massive learning curve. If anything more complicated than a normal ios programmer. As we're trying to get code to work in buzztouch and get the control panel involved. @atrain yeah sure we should put our heads together. I'll try and translate the audio for you, the mute button is easy to do though I'm sure.

Seems like that audio would need to be preloaded and definately short and locally stored. When i think splash screen, that's gotta be instant. Not a fan of splash audio, bkg audio or audio on load in general, but an option I can see others might like. No interest in using/supporting it in a plug-n, AVFoundation is a fickle beast. Just curious where/how you are using it. I've struggled with getting audio to work reliably in custom view controllers with my appdelegates in BT. shoot me an email s k o m p d e v @ s k o m p. n e t and i'll show you the code i dropped in the current bt splash to animate it. maybe we can patch in you audio code and incorporate that with code from- @MrDavid!!!! keep meaning to ask about your working audio stuff and that thread you resolved it in. just picking some audio stuff up again after a few weeks and was hoping to see your sample code again/find that thread...
