Re: a flash player for winks: msg#00275

Subject: Re: a flash player for winks

well, I think that if you 'buy' a wink... it will be a "wink" not a flash animation and msn creates the "wink" (Cab file/xml/thumbnail) from it...
yes, aMSN should be able to give users the opportunity to not only 'steal' winks from users, but also create a custom wink, but it should also allow entering an image for the thumbnail... do we really need that feature in the first release of the 'winks support' ? I don't think so, it can be left for some other time...

It is possible to "buy" new Winks in the original MSN, so it is possible
to add new ones in a certain way, but I don't know if we can literally
add custom winks ... and how it works :S

Anyway ... I think that the kind of thing aMSN should do, even if the
original don't have it :)

indeed, interesting remark... but question is, do we want to have the
feature (does MSN 7 have it?) to 'add custom winks' ?

Considering that the last commit in the repository has 20 months
probably not ... :S

However it seems that most of the tools to implement this is available
and documented :
http://www.speakeasy.org/~russotto/chm/lzx_compress.html

I can't find a tool able to compress in CAB ... even 7-zip isn't able to
:S I will work first on the ability to receive the winks, and then I'll
try to implement something based on the work already done around CAB
compression.

not.

cabextract in their own software should now look at libmspack first."



yeah, stupid me.. but do we want to "exec cabextract $in $temp &&
$flashplayer $temp" or do we want to write our own tcl commands
that wrap
the library, then use "::cabextractor::extract $in $temp; exec
$flashplayer $temp"


so cabextractor is better since it does what we need to do.. we
need to
extract a cab, we don't need to do anything else that may need the
library's extended features...



But what about the create people that make some very sweet flash movie
for their loved ones.. or just annoying ones for anyone else.. we
should
put it in a cab, right? so with the lib we can do it, with cabextract
no.


It is not yet implemented in the libsmpack ... so far no compression is
implemented in the lib according to this page :
http://www.kyz.uklinux.net/libmspack/

However this is a good remark ... I will take a look at the library, if
the design is not too bad it would be easy to extract from the library
only the features we are interested in and as the lib is under LGPL we
will be able to create a libmspacklight !

Btw, I've just finally successfully played all the winks given by Karel
with gnash ... so that is a good news. I will try to first develop a
dummy plugin just able to detect a wink and launch a cabextract and play
in gnash.

I try to do this for the end of the month ...
