    Question [CS3] how to create this cool effect

    Dear reader,

    I've spotted a site what totally took my breath away. http://www.chromazone-imaging.co.uk/flashindex.html
    I'm really curious on the techniques that's used for the site to make moveable/3d background. (papervision, actionscript)
    Obviously I don't ask for a tutorial and my intention is not to copy this site just to know the Chef's secret.
    Thanx in advance

    This isn't actually 3-d at all. It's just several layers with different motion tweens (set through code, not timeline). Nothing too complex, just well implemented.

    Thumbs up thanx for your reply!

    But I've got still a couple of question I understand that the effect is created by different layers but what creates the small screen in the left corner so you've got a playfield effect? And what kind of code is needed to make your screen to move with yor mouse movement?
    THANX

    Thanx for the link. I understand the concept of parralax scroling and I guess in basic it's easy for a programmer to create a sort of application that I'm looking for. But what I would like to know is what in kind of order I've got to create the code. For me in this instance it's hard to grasp what the steps are that I've got to follow! Any suggestions are welcome!!

    PHP Code:
    layer1._x _xmouse *1.5;
    layer2._x _xmouse *1.2;
    layer3._x _xmouse *1.0
    just play and try so you will understand

    check out www.flashden.com search around there are many fla files you can buy for CHEAP. Ive seen some similar to this. You can either put your own images into the pre-made flash or dissect it and try to figure out how it is made! It's like buying a cake mix you just have to add water to instead of making it from scratch!

    your link doesn't work?

    @Renderhjs thanx for the code! But If I want to make something clikable how do I create that Just code before or after the 3d (moveable code)?

    instead of relying on websites that want your money (dont even think about starting with it- makes you more dependable as you think) - a google search
    http://www.google.com/search?client=...utf-8&oe=utf-8
    returns for example the following usefull links:

    http://www.smjdesign.com/designwell/...-actionscript/
    http://www.netmag.co.uk/zine/flash-1...llax-scrolling
    http://webscripts.softpedia.com/scri...ing-21131.html
    http://www.actionscript.org/forums/s...ight=parrallax

    anything else invovled is general flash Actionscript knowledge
