[@Ahm4dBilal]

Hi, Your work is so great I am really thankful that you are there to help with almost everything when it comes to flutter. You have made coding in flutter much easier. However, Rive has changed closed signups for Rive 1 and we can now only register on Rive 2 and use that to produce animations. It would be really great if you made a tutorial on that too and also made a package so that we could remove all the boilerplate. Much thanks Sir! I mean I there are no words to thank you enough.

[@FilledStacks]

Thank you for your kind words Ahmad. I really appreciate it. I have not used the new rive. When I start using it I'll be sure to share the steps and the code involved to complete the functionality / produce the animations I want in the code. For now I have no experience with it so I don't have much input on the matter right now.

I'm still mastering state management I feel is most important then I'll focus on in UI design and animation.

Yes, state management is more important. What's even more important than state management is coding principles. Understanding separation of concerns or the SOLID principles will help you build any state management system you want to use.

You can use the align widget to adjust the widget position. You'll have to go to the flare file to change the animations.

Thank you Dane to make it very simple to understand. How to inculcate this into your stacked architecture? I am very confused ..... can you help me out with this....

[@LeandroR99]

Hey! Thanks for the tutorial. I am a designer and not a dev, and I find it a bit difficult to understand everything. But I was wondering it is possible to trigger and control Flare objects from Flutter. For example: I want to do a globe spinning animation, but it would have a intro section with 1 second lenght, the the globe spinning, which would be a loop, but when a event happen, I want to animate that globe so it scale down, or fades, or whatever. It would be like animating the parent object rather the its children, but preserving the current animation state of the children. I haven't found much documentation on this, so any information would help.

[@FilledStacks]

Hey, thanks for watching the content. Must be pretty hard to follow when it comes to the coding part. The answer is yes, you have complete access to the artboard and the nodes on there. If you get a dev to take care of the dev side direct him to the 2Dimensions git repo where they have a lot of demos and examples for flare projects. Ones where you mix animations and control separate ones (the house size increasing example). You can definitely do what you're asking. Hope that helps.

[@LeandroR99]

FilledStacks it really does! I am working with a dev but I like to play around and understand what can be done. I will try some experiments with my dev partner. Thanks for your quick answer. And have a great weekend.

[@Gabriel-kl6bt]

I am not sure if I could learn all this by myself, without following tutorials, etc.

[@FilledStacks]

If you've solved a lot of problems these things become a matter of sitting down and writing the code. Over time, the more problems you solve in terms of UI or business logic the easier this becomes. I have a game development background so working with a "canvas" and creating interactable elements on it that are all rendered is a very normal thing.

[@edson.rbispo]

as you left the emulator like in this vscode side look, is this an extension or is it the Android Studio emulator itself. And that I thought is cool is configuration. it looks like it is embedded in vscode.

[@FilledStacks]

It's the emulator from the google sdk you can launch it from VS code as well. You can either run a flutter app and it'll ask you which device you want to launch, or click at the bottom right of vs code where it says "no device" and select one to launch

[@peekpt]

I think flare team should look at this and add clickable nodes on the code and pass the name of the node through a callback

[@FilledStacks]

Given how quickly this was implemented i think they probably would. But also, i think providing the library that plays the animations is a good way to keep things separate. Maybe they can make SmartFlare official for interaction. That would be pretty cool. Luigi and the team at 2Dimensions have seen all of this. They seem to like it.

[@yeisonvelez1198]

hello, thanks for sharing. I have a couple of doubts, I hope you please clarify them for me. I want to make the text that I get from a web service I can put it in real time in a flare animation, is it possible?

[@FilledStacks]

Hey, you're welcome. No that's not possible, but with relative positioning it is. Simply just ovrelay Flutter Text where it's required.

[@nandarizkamaulana7623]

Hi @filledStacks I'm Nanda, what tools you used for making this video ?. Thanks

[@FilledStacks]

Hi Nanda, I use DaVinci Resolve to edit my videos.

[@epicmap]

If the invisible area of the animation is obstructing some part of the UI, this part of the UI will become "touch-immune" (aka watch only) and practically unusable. So we need to somehow pass the tap event to a widget behind. Not good. Or if there's no active area (or it can be disabled) FlareActor will do it automatically for us?

[@FilledStacks]

If there's a guard against it then it won't register it. Additionally you can simply make sure that it's ignored in the closed state and it'll go to the part behind it.

[@wlockuz4467]

What would you recommend to make the touch areas more precise?

[@FilledStacks]

I've built a smart flare package using this logic where you can define areas using a rect. It has a debug mode as well.

[@FilledStacks]

so you can inspect your areas in the ui.

[@sudoferraz]

How can you see the containers on the emulator that demonstrates the widget you are in?

[@FilledStacks]

Set the debugArea property to true

[@wykeless]

damn this is really cool, but would you do an updated version of this? since the app is called rive now and it seems like you implement it differently

[@FilledStacks]

It is really cool and yes, I will be doing an updated version soon. We're going to be making use of a lot of rive in my new app and I'll be sharing everything we're doing around it. There's some cool things I have in mind.

[@amansinghal9672]

Great. But when I use it , button is not showing . And giving warning : if you are cycling through animation there is a high chance that you might need to set the animation required property on the active area.

[@FilledStacks]

You're the first one that has come accross that. The warning is from an old package and has since been updated. Update the smartflare package to ^0.2.6. And make sure you have added everything correctly. The asset in the pubspec file, the assets in the correct location, the full filename to the animation and the correct name of the animations. If you're still struggling the working project is on github in the description. Clone it, open final and see if that runs on your machine.

[@kennethordona4893]

Is it possible to play the animation everytime i tap it without destroying the same animation?

[@FilledStacks]

you mean you want the current one to fade out while it's playing and start playing a new one? Because the same animation would have to either play or reverse for what you're asking. You could try to mix them but since they're not inddependent animations it might look very weird.

[@oemeraran8183]

I really love animations and I want to get more into them, but they feel so "hacky" compared to the other stuff you program even though the results look smooth.. What I mean is: If you have to add a new icon you have to adjust working code a lot.. and this gets harder and harder with more complex animations... animations just dont feel clean to make to me

[@FilledStacks]

Yeah, UI code is not as clean as business logic. I'm trying out different ways to reduce is and build it into the architecture so when i find it I'll share. The code in my opinion is not that bad, already an improvement. I don't know if you saw the part with Smartflare at the end? The reason I use flare to do the animations is because it's about 5 times less code than using controllers and tweens to do the same stuff. I first show the code of how to implement, then I show how to make it less. If you look at my complex animations part 2 video. The code for that is about 15 lines long. But the animation is very complex. If it was for icons your code would be around 10 per icon, which will be in its own widget so you'll end up with 1 widget on the outside that takes a callback for tap. So about 4 lines in the view. Doesn't seem that bad to me given that you babe to write about 15 lines of code just to setup the animation controllers for "normal" animation code.

[@oemeraran8183]

@@FilledStacks You misunderstood me a bit (I watched the whole video) :) I didn't want to critisize your work and contribution. I am actually very thankful that people like you exist and try to organize this mess of animation tooling which exist in every framework I have used. With "hacky" I mean, that you don't have a direct reference to the icons. You have to split the flare "box" into different areas to locate the icons and implement the tab events. Animations in flutter are just very overhelming at the begging, because simple animations already require a lot of boilerplate.

@@oemeraran8183 Aaaah, I see. Yes that's not a recommended approach. It was just one of those experiments I wanted to try out to see if I can reduce all that complex controller/mixin boilerplate to create some good animations in less code. I think I have an idea of how to get "access" to the sections, you'll still have to define the areas but I could possibly create a SmartFlareAreaReference that can be used to call functions on 🤔 Actually a cool Idea. I'll look into that when I get some time.

@@FilledStacks That would actually be an insane improvement, and even though it might be hacky under the surface (as many things in front-end development) it would be easy to use (probably)

Make sure you're using versions that exist.

Those can just be played with the basic flare animation package
