Anyone thought about creating Microsoft's 'TableTop Surface' like application for ppc(single touchscreen devices) ?
the application like 'water ripple' or 'paint' can be really lite and can be made by developers who developed PCM ImageViewer or ThrottleLaucher or A_C can develop it.. aint folks..??

Then why dont other users request these application's replica right here..

The 'Water Ripple' can be developed for touch screen devices

New Version 4:
- Lighter flat background (looks better)
- movieclip drops now remove themselves after falling (better for the memory on the long run)
- After 3 seconds inactive, the drops start falling by themselves randomly.
- You can now add your own background picture...

FlashFixe V3 by Twolf

To use:
Press anywhere on the screen to make a water drip effect, if you drag your finger across the screen it will create a water ripple path.
To see the clock, make some ripples across the middle of the screen.
If you don't press the screen for over 3 seconds, drops of rain will start to fall, they will stop as soon as you press anywhere on the screen.
To set the heavy rain mode on/off press left/right on your keypad, it will also stop if you press anywhere on the screen.
To set quality high/low press up/down on your keypad, default is medium.
Put it in high quality at least once to see the full effect. It can be slow, but so worth it...
When you click on QUARK he changes color and the clock becomes grey for a few seconds, don't overdo it, or he will get upset and leave (he will return eventualy, but the initial trust on you was lost)...
Press enter to exit the application.

You can test it here:

hmmm... I did said flash was not the best program for this, i didnt even made the water animation transparent because of the slow flash animations... if i make it transparent it'll be much slower, trust me...

Version 3:
Better water animation (I think)...
Diferent background (beach pebbles)
New icon (uhhhhhh)
Possibility to change between high/low quality, with up/down keypad (default is low).
Possibility to see/hide background, with left/right keypad (default is visible).
Enter to exit aplication.

Click to create a drop, press and drag to create a water path.
Needs flash 7 pre-instaled (obviously).

Exe, FLA and swf in the zip, you only need the EXE to test it, of course.

---edit---

It still runs slow on mine, but only the part when there are several drops fading away, thats the slowest.

Its possible, but its already slow, more animations below the ripple transparent animations would make it slow for everyone for sure... :(

    New Version 4:
    - Lighter flat background (looks better)
    - movieclip drops now remove themselves after falling (better for the memory on the long run)
    - After 3 seconds inactive, the drops start falling by themselves randomly.
    - You can now add your own background picture, just place bg.jpg in this folder:
    > For WM6 (not sure about WM5) the folder is /Application Data/Volatile/FlashRipple4
    > For WM2003 the folder is /temp/FlashRipple4
    If for some reason this is not the folder, run it once and search for a folder called FlashRipple4 with your Explorer application.

    As always, sourcecode and EXE included in the zip, I also included a background image for testing.

    PS: Epyon, here is an ideia for a nice background for your niece: ;)

    i saw a mention of this earlier... wasn't sure if anyone got this running? is there any way to add the "eye candy" flash as a background in s2u2? i just think that would be awesome! great job guys... can't wait to see what u guys come up with next!!!
    Click to expand...
    Click to collapse

    I really dont know, gifs are too heavy and 256 colors, you'll have to ask the a2u2 author to make it throttle-compatible (because its the only good plugin out there for flash) or be able to read flash inside a html.

    I can't get the latest version to work on my HTC Touch, what version of flash are you using ?

    And is there anyway that I can use as my home page ?
    Click to expand...
    Click to collapse

    Flash 7, homepage??? do you mean today screen?
    Only with throttle.

    ----//----

    Made a new version, by remixing the eye-candy version.

    FlashFixe v3
    previewgy0.jpg


    Test it here:
    http://www.zshare.net/flash/17241846b0b4f4c3/

    What's new:
    Change the background color to white, it looks cleaner
    Removed two of the fishes to release memory
    Kept some of the fish shadows and scales from the eye-candy version
    Total remake of the remaining fish, he is now QUARK, a moody Lionhead goldfish ^_^
    Total remake of QUARK swimming animation and programming
    Total remake of QUARK random swimming path, he now zaps from one end of the screen to the other side
    Total remake of the water drops animation and programming, to save memory
    Click on QUARK turns the clock visible for a few seconds
    Click on QUARK changes his color, six diferent colors: GoldenLion, RoseRed, YellowSub, DeepDark, AlienBlue and PowerpuffPink

    I tried to make him follow our finger, but the animation becomes too weird, so I gave up on that again.
    And tried for him to make a little turn every time it got clicked, but it looked like he was dancing.
    Also tried to drag-and-drop him but that made the hole thing look fake, so removed all that...

    To use:
    Press anywhere on the screen to make a water drip effect, if you drag your finger across the screen it will create a water ripple path.
    To see the clock, make some ripples across the middle of the screen.
    If you don't press the screen for over 3 seconds, drops of rain will start to fall, they will stop as soon as you press anywhere on the screen.
    To set the heavy rain mode on/off press left/right on your keypad, it will also stop if you press anywhere on the screen.
    To set quality high/low press up/down on your keypad, default is medium.
    Put it in high quality at least once to see the full effect. It can be slow, but so worth it...
    When you click on QUARK he changes color and the clock becomes grey for a few seconds, don't overdo it, or he will get upset and leave (he will return eventualy, but the initial trust on you was lost)...
    Press enter to exit the application.

    As always, you need flash 7 installed and the source codes are included on the zip.
