[Tutorial] How to make lockscreen and how to make it work perfectly

[jdotcong]

first ill explain how do i make lockscreen work..
1. lockscreen.swf is external swf that loads when a lock button is press
2. to unlock (or remove the external lockscreen.swf we have to unload the loaded swf
3. loading external.swf on top of the main swf (gadget.swf) did not tottaly lock the main swf
icons below can still press even not visible
if you have sliding or moving gadget is can still slide so we have to make some modification to avoid that and make lockscreen.swf act like a real screen lock

here we go
to be able to have a lockscreen first we need a script that load the external swf
here it is

        this.createEmptyMovieClip("htcBar", 99);
        htcBar.loadMovie("HTC FILES/Lockscreen/lockscreen.swf");

but with that script lockscreen.swf will load on startup and we do not want that to happen so we have to modify the script to make the lockscreen.swf loads only when a lock button is pressed

the script should look like this

function loadBar1()
{
    if (barLoaded)
    {
        htcBar.unloadMovie("htcBar");
        barLoaded != barLoaded;
    }
    else
    {
        this.createEmptyMovieClip("htcBar", 99);
        htcBar.loadMovie("HTC FILES/Lockscreen/lockscreen.swf");
        barLoaded != barLoaded;
    } // end else if
} // End of the function

where:
function loadBar1() = name of function that need to be loaded
 htcBar = container of movieclip that will load
99); = location of loaded clip (i put 99 to make it on top)
("HTC FILES/Lockscreen/lockscreen.swf"); = root folder and file name of external swf that would be load

paste that script in timelime action script layer(not in any movieclip action tab)

now that we have a function script that waits for us to load him we need a lock button
make a button in your gadget and paste this script

on (release)
{
   
   fscommand2("set", "Menu", 1, 3, 0);
   _root.aamir._visible = false;
   _root.loadBar1();

   
}

_root.loadBar1(); is the script that make the function loadBar1() load




now we are all set with gadget.swf,now we need a lockscreen.swf
lockscreen is very easy to make
we just have to make a 240x400 with flashlite 2.1/action script 2.0 swf
put a button that will unload itself (unload the lockscreen.swf to return to main gadget)

make a button and paste this script

       _root.htcBar.unloadMovie();

htcBar  = is the container of the loaded movie clip meaning unloading the container unloads the lockscreen.swf

but who want a lockscreen that unlocked with just a press of a button we wanted a press and hold to unlock features so we will add script to do that

your button script should look like this

on (press)
{
    function pressed()
    {
        clearInterval(InterID);
        _root.druck = 1;
        _root.htcBar.unloadMovie();
        _root.screenLock = false;
        lock = false;
    } // End of the function
   
    _root.druck = 0;
    InterID = setInterval(pressed, 300);
}
on (release, releaseOutside)
{
   
    clearInterval(InterID);
    if (_root.druck != 1)
    {
        if (_root.druck == 0)
        {
            notifier.gotoAndStop(2);
        } // end if
    }
    else
    {
        _root.druck = 0;
       
        notifier.gotoAndStop(3);
    } // end else if
}

now we will put default wallpaper to a lockscreen
make a new movieclip
Insert>New symbol(ctrl+f8) type movieclip name it BGloader
on the timelime action script layer(or the layer1)
paste this code

fscommand2("set", "Mode", "Gadget");
backgroundClip = createEmptyMovieClip("bg1", 0);
backgroundClip._x = 0;
backgroundClip._y = 0;
var backgroundLoader = new MovieClipLoader();
fscommand2("Get", "idle", "InitWallPaper", "mainBGPath");
backgroundLoader.loadClip(mainBGPath, bg1);
delete mainBGPath;

go back to scene 1
go to library and find BGLoader movie
now drag the BGLoader movie to scene1 set the position

X=-240
Y=0

now we are almost done but as i said in top lockscreen does not really lock the gadget.swf icons can still press and desk still slide (if present)

to avoid that we use this simple method

on the main lockscreen timeline make a new layer
put the new layer at the very bottom of all layer click Text tool (press T)
make a textbox bigger than the movie 240x400







thats all now the icons below cannot be press

about gadget that has slide features

just paste this script in lockscreen.swf main timeline action layer frame

_root.screenLock = true;
lock = true;

thats's all now you have a lockscreen that looks like a star default lockscreen(almost look like)
i have attached here the lockscreen.swf and lockscreen.fla

the script posted here are not just for lockscreen you can use it to load external swf like  music player etc. etc.
i think me and onestyle deserved a credit for every mod that will use this script
but we are not into credits send the recognition to terry he badly needs it hehehe peace

[jdotcong]

i think you mess up with your swf make a new copy of fla convert again the swf.. also get a copy of xml and dont touch it.. before you do anything on it test it if it works

OFFTOPIC:

if someone here manage to perfect the lockscreen tuto..
i think you better make few lockscreen or mod any available swf over the internet..
when you have 7 lockscreen or more... that would be the time to make a lockscreen changer
if someone wants it i would be glad to make a tuto for that..

lockcreen setting
title loaded my xml for easy renaming
indicator to determine what is currently lockscreen use
and more features
if you want i can add thumbnails for lockscreen

Enough - Get back on topic

please dont start any flame wars.
we are all aware english is difficult for some, hence why google translate was invented.

[TerryCee]

I was going to tell you all off but then I realised I started it all.
@mrangry, please do not use the Administrator comment so often.

[Jonny]

Point taken, anyway people, please back on topic

[Jonny]

To get everyone back on topic, if you want to create a lockscreen to be used in starhero, samsense etc. via the lockscreen chooser, use jdotcong's method.
however, if you want to create a proper lockscreen to be used with the NewPhoneLock patch, then instead of all the htcbar, lock=visible stuff etc. only one fscommand is important,
fscommand ("send", "KeyUnlock");
this unlocks the lockscreen

he mean this command is for the phonelock.swf..

[John brac]

hey guys....i badly need your help....
i am using phonelock patch..
i am trying to make my own phonelock....
how do i make the wallpaper of the gadget appear in the phonelock.swf??

[★-- ηι¢к ...]

use this

Code: [Select]

function loadWallpaper()
{
    fscommand2("set", "Mode", "Gadget");
    backgroundClip = createEmptyMovieClip("bg1", 0);
    backgroundClip._x = 0;
    backgroundClip._y = 0;
    var _loc1 = new MovieClipLoader();
    fscommand2("Get", "idle", "InitWallPaper", "mainBGPath");
    _loc1.loadClip(mainBGPath, bg1);
    delete mainBGPath;
} // End of the function
fscommand2("set", "Mode", "Gadget");
_root.backgroundClip = _root.createEmptyMovieClip("bg1", 0);
_root.backgroundClip._x = -240;
_root.backgroundClip._y = 0;
var backgroundLoader = new MovieClipLoader();
fscommand2("Get", "idle", "InitWallPaper", "mainBGPath");
backgroundLoader.loadClip(_root.mainBGPath, _root.bg1);
delete _root.mainBGPath;
EVWallpapers = new Object();
EVWallpapers.onEvent = function (procedure)
{
    procedure = "load";
    loadWallpaper(procedure);
};
ExtendedEvents.setWallpaper.addListener(EVWallpapers);
procedure = "load";
loadWallpaper("load");

[★-- ηι¢к ...]

That script will load the system default wallpaper. I am assuming gadget wallpaper in your question to be system wallpaper

[John brac]

thank you soo much anyway... but i dont want the default wallpaper.. i want the wallpaper that i am using in the gadget..i have made my own gadget...

[★-- ηι¢к ...]

I dont think that's possible. Because lockscreen using PhoneLock patch is a completely different thing. Even the gadget commands dont work there

[John brac]

but siris cac has done that in his monte evo mod....

[★-- ηι¢к ...]

but siris cac has done that in his monte evo mod....

then why not ask siris only? PM him or add him on FB

[John brac]

i found a way to do that its kinda easy...................
you need to use SO handlers for that...........
