Thanks to all of your suggestions, Party Time's animations are now all in flash and load almost instantly. The nun's six scenes are all merged into one now.

Let me know if you have a problem with them. I haven't figured out yet how to make them loop and run continuously. It's martini time here so I'll save that little chore until tomorrow.

As far as I can tell, I can not see ILSWriter's either.

That said, ILSWriter does have a feedback form on his site for contacting him.

I have used her/his feedback form. I would rather not have an additional place where messages may be lost.

@ ILSWriter:
You added some animations. I also like the loading counter that was not there before. I give you 2 thumbs up. Are you going to reanimate the previous stories too (if yes I recommend GrowingUp.1 or *.swf)? There may be some downloading in my future.

At the beginning there was a direct e-mail address on the homepage with the name "Jane". But maybe I'm wrong with my guess...

If the date on the button provided to download a story is later than 22Jan11 then it has been updated. All those with animations, except Practical Hypnotism, have been updated. I have sent a query to the company I bought the converter software from regarding how to put the animation in a loop. I haven't heard back. Their website says they are open 8:30 to 5:30, Beijing time!!!!

Thank You for the reply. Until I am certain the animations will play once downloaded I will patiently(? :))wait.
For anyone considering a download the animations do not play on my machine.
The on site is fantastic.

If I recall correctly, to make the animation loop you're going to have to set that option in the flash player, not the .flv file.

It's been a loooooooong time since I messed around in flash.

Trouble is, there seem to be more than one implementation of the Flash player - I always used to be able to bring up a menu with the right trackpad button that had items like 'zoom', 'play', 'loop' etc., but the most recent attempts to access that has brought up a menu box without 'loop' being one of the options.

Anyway, surely the flash author ought to be able to call up a loop if he/she wants to?

I do not think the animations are in flash (*.mpeg). I have MS & Real Alternative media players, also QT & DivX players. The only thing capable of playing them is AVC. I converted the *.mpeg files to *.mpg files; renamed them to *.mpegs and they still will not play.

Unless I'm very much mistaken ILSWriter has recently changed all AVIs and MPEGs to Flash because of the faster D/Ling and more compact files

Look here for an example of an embedded flash that loops: http://www.stagetools.com/embeflash.htm

That should work.

Thanks Craban, I tried it with my swf file but it stops after one play through. I am convinced that a code has to go into the swf file when it is produced. My software has an option for looping when the swf file is produced. But that option is grayed out and I can't change it to loop. The software tech support says they will correct that and get back to me.

The latest downloads play as they should... WooHoo. Thanks. I will wait on any more downloads until I see the loop outcome.
Thanks again.
