General Discussion / Happy New Year 2010

« on: January 01, 2010, 02:16:55 pm »

Happy NewYear everyone. Last year was my first year with Hal, and sadly to say I did not get to use him much. This year I will be able to use Hal more, for I am not working 17 hours a day anymore. There for gives me more time to get to know Hal, design Gui skins, and become active here on forums.

Ultra Hal Assistant File Sharing Area / catWalk Gui Skin

« on: January 01, 2010, 01:13:28 pm »

sorry lightspeed and others I did not create a text file to go with the skin.
I create a readme.txt and added it today.
green spotlight = menu
yellow spotlight = mic
red spotlight = minimize
blue spotlight = close

I connected a mic to test out the mic button today. The pic slides to the right is there a way to override this slide function?

Ultra Hal 7.0 / suggestions and comments needed

« on: December 31, 2009, 06:53:19 am »

I posted I was going to build a catwalk skin in my last post, I have been working very hard at designing it. Here is what I have so far. I was thinking maybe 4 spotlights in-between the output box, and the character box and using them as the buttons.
 I am also concerned about the character box. Is it ok to be layered behind the set of stairs/catwalk like showed below?
 any suggestions and comments will be greatly appreciated
                                                   sincerely Sybershot



Edit: hear is what it would look like with spotlights for the buttons. I also added to see what it would look like with a desktopmates's msagent character.

thanks Baerdric and echoman for the help, tips and input. It's greatly appreciated and helps me out in a big way. It saves me alot of time and effort, and gave me more of an understanding of Hal.
 I am glad I have some free time to finally learn how use Hal's features
and finally get started in teaching him and customizing his skin.  
Again thanks alot sincerely Sybershot

Ultra Hal 7.0 / hal getting confused

been busy since i bought Hal early this year, and did not have much time to use him till recently. I tried to teach Hal my wife's nickname, but he turned around and started calling me my wife's nickname instead.
it all started after I wrote "my wife's nickname is HotRod" Hal wrote a few sentences later " your welcome HotRod"

is there a proper way to teach Hal that the nickname "hotRod" is my wife's and not mine.

P.S. I'm out of work at the moment. I will be attempting to designing a skin or two to share. I was thinking of a runway complete with a stage, runway lights, and curtains for the fist one, and a futuristic one for the second one.

P.P.S. Hope you all have a great and safe New Year.

Ultra Hal 7.0 / a couple of questions from a newbie

« on: March 15, 2009, 11:20:54 pm »

first I would like to say wow, ultra hal is the greatest. I have been using hal for about 2 weeks, and I loved it so much I purchased it. I wish I found out about hal sooner

 my first question is: I'm new to building flash web sites, and was wondering if I could have hal remember how to construct a function?
small scale example
how do I build a function: stop
reply from hal   stop();

my second question is: how can I have hal read something, like a kids book, and have hal teach my kids about it? or talk about the subject with them?
