How would one do this in Koolmoves?

Hi Guys,

Said I would pop this in another topic as it is a seperate type question.

Go here - http://www.marylise.net/ and click on collection. Now look at the list box on the right. When you click one of the items in the list it changes the content to the left. How would Koolmoves do this? Is their a tute somewhere that shows how this is done?

Cheers

Best bet would be using a contentpane.Look in the Koolmoves example folder under flash 8 for an example.

Hi Blanius,

Thanks for the replys. I assume that the API text files are the code used in the action script windows?

While we are at the How would you do this in Koolmoves:

http://www.blushboutique.co.uk/

Now click on OCCASIONAL WEAR then - at the bottom left of the main window - click on Designers. Now pick one of the designers - say Frank Usher.

Could you explain in Dummies English [ if possible ] - how this page is built generally - of seperate swfs embedded OR all one file? I am trying to get my head around the way Koolmoves would structure this. Are each of the designers name text elements launching seperate embedded SWF files each with their own text and slide show? If so is this the best way to do same? Even when you previously click on OCCASIONAL WEAR - is this also a seperate swf launched?

Realistically these type sites make big use of action script?

Cheers
Aidan

I'm sure that they are using Loaded swf's this is evident from the little loading animation and is in my opinion the best way to do this.

Using separate movies keeps the initial load time down.

Yes indeed blanius,

It is made of seperate SWFs. The individual designer slideshow SWFs take longest to load. Its all becoming clearer now :)

Thanks again,
Aidan
