Flash(SWF) Artworks

This section is for artworks developed in Flash. Please review the instructions below, and submit your work in the specified format. Our development team will review and test your artwork.

■ Resolution

• The screen will display at W1080*H1920 pixels resolution. Please be aware of this resolution when developing your artwork.

• Hardware Scaling (scaling through hardware) function is enabled. Use this option to optimize the performance if there is trouble achieving reasonable frame rate.

■ Frame Rate

• Artworks can be played at any specified frame rate.

• Depending on the CPU load, the frame rate may drop. To make the testing process easier, please include a debug option to display the FPS where possible.

■ Hardware Acceleration

• Hardware Acceleration in Flash is enabled at default. Functions such as Stage3D that uses GPU power is also available http://www.macromedia.com/support/documentation/en/flashplayer/help/help01.html.

• However, there have been reports of bugs caused when Hardware Acceleration is enabled. If this is the case, Hardware Acceleration can be explicitly turned off.

■ Continuous Playback Time

• Any artwork application on FRAMED will be exposed to being played at maximum 24 hours for continuous playback (the device is programmed to automatically restart once a day). Please test to make sure that the artwork can be played continuously for 24 hours before submission.

• Please debug and optimize the artwork as much as possible, being careful of memory leakage.

• If we detect any malfunctions after the artwork has been released to the public, the artist will be responsible for modifying/updating the artwork as per the license contract. Please review the details the article 4-1 of the contract.

■ Artwork Submission

• Please submit all files listed below in one folder .zip file (in the root, no subfolders except for other related project files). Watch this video.:

• Projector file (main.exe) for Windows startup

• All other related files (SWF/text/images/sound)

• Specify file locations as relative paths.

• Do not include fullscreen commands (fscommand (“fullscreen”, “true”). This will be done automatically on the FRAMED device.

■ Camera/Mic

• Access to the internal webcam and mic embedded at the bottom of the screen is enabled at default. The maximum FPS/Resolution for the camera is: 30FPS/W1280*H720 pixels.

• The default format for the camera in the PC is read in horizontal, landscape mode. As such, when the work is displayed at fullscreen with the same aspect ratio, sides of the image may be trimmed.

• Access to the camera/mic from the flash player is enabled at default, and doesn’t require additional settings.
