Hi Erik,
good work! It also works with GrandVJ. I’ve been looking for that. In GrandVJ using Quartz Composer animations are another option to handle external internet content like RSS feeds.

Hey buddy, lovin your app for md8, but the animations need some work. You think you could flick me the .fla’s and I could have a play with it?

Cheers,

matt

Pete, a SWF inside M8 doesn’t have the same network / internet access privileges as a SWF outside M8. Therefore I built the “localConnection” SWF, which can grab data and send it to the SWF inside M8.
You should be able to access a text file directly though.

why is it some .swf files work in M8 and others don’t?

this looks great! I can see the words on M8 but finding it difficult to control. can’t target the tweejay controller to my twitter account.

i am looking for a swf player to display the contents of a .txt file on my desktop

any ideas? i tried the sms to M8 module but it crashes when the .txt file is changed

I guess I’m gonna have to do some more research, but this was a pretty good place to start.

Hi Jeremy,
Thanks! There is an update, I will post it soon!
There’s no top-bottom scrolling yet, but that might come in a future version.

If you want a tool that just smoothly displays twitter messages without needing a VJ you might try http://www.twitterfountain.nl , open the site fullscreen (bottom right corner) and send the video to a beamer or use it as a video-in signal in modul8.

Hey man, i LOVE this modul!!! Any chance there’s an update for it yet? If there was somekind of simple bottom-top scrolling thing that would be awesome. Any way to make it not repeat messages?
