Hi, Window,

The answer to your question is no. The movie (or at least elements of it) might load more slowly, and the movie itself might drag on a really slow processor. But items won't appear out...

Hi, kantonburg. Welcome back.

You're in luck. The tutorials are excellent (Click the link at the top of this page.) The forum is as helpful as ever, too.

Before you start work, you'll want to...

Hi, Jason,

In addition to Mike's (98svt's) sound advice, I would urge you to add a "Skip Intro" button. Your introductory movie runs--what?--20 seconds? Not every user of the web (a pox on them)...

Hi, Milcoi,

Nice work. I suppose it is intentional that some of the choices are not links (i.e., you don't get a "hand" cursor when you pass the mouse over them).

Slightly off the record, what...

Hi, Kevin.

Wow, what a bashing!

I'm not familiar with your posting history, so I need to steer clear of grumblemarc's comments, but here are my reactions: I found the site ingenious and worth...

Hi, tmmths,

I don't quite understand the point of the site. Maybe the problem is that I (old fogey that I am) don't know who Troy LaPeronerie is. Nevertheless, the nagging question for me is what...

Hi, davearia. Welcome to the SWiSH Help Forum.

In addition to Lys12's helpful suggestion, you can prevent this from happening permanently by opening the Export panel in SWiSH and clearing the...

Hi, leoaamro,

You make SWiSH effects by studying examples, tutorials, and--most of all--through practice, lots of practice.

Btw, your question could have been asked just as easily without the...

Hi, pjkinann,

I'll be happy to send you a copy of mine. I just want to be sure of which file to upload. Is it the one under Samples titled "first.swi"? (I don't a file with the exact title you...

That's actually pretty clever, Jack. Nice work!

Hey, Labyrinth,

Your in luck. One of the Forum veterans, Jerry Turner, has posted an swi that might be just the ticket for you. Do a search for "peel," and you're sure to find it. (That's how I...

Jerry,

Once again you amaze me! You never fail to come up with the most creative solutions, right down to the impression left after the peeling. This is a real keeper.

Thanks for sharing.

Hi, Bill,

The best way to accomplish this effect is by converting the side-by-side images to buttons. Then associate the rollover (the mouse passing over one of the buttons) with the appropriate...

Hello, mmti. Welcome to the SWiSH Help Forum.

It might help if you posted your .swi so that others here could get a better sense of the problem.

Yours,

Hi, Frets,

I agree with you; everyone should read this thread--and especially david p's initial post. I myself have been suggesting to other Forum members that they visit this post.

I also...

Hi, cheshil,

You draw a single rectangle, copy and paste it, and then select all and choose "Grouping" > "Group".

I had some spare time this AM so I went ahead and took this a little farther....

Hi, cheshil,

Something like this?

Hi, Flashlor,

I'm not sure whether you can or can't do what you ask, so I'll leave that question for someone on this forum with better answers (whom I suspect will be along shortly).

I just...

Hi, Semep.

Try http://www.wavplace.com/sounds.htm. They have some decent musical riffs in different styles.

As to the music on your site, I like it. It's unusual and kind of catchy. I think a...

Crusader4HIM:

No one is yelling. Most of the people who visit this forum, myself included, are here as volunteers, giving of their time selflessly to help others. Rather than doing a search myself...

Hi, gregcha117,

Might I suggest that you do a search of this forum as a similar request was posted (and answered) within the last few days?

While you're searching, might I humbly suggest that...

JoJoP:

2.18MB is fairly huge, as SWiSH sites go. My site, which is 100% SWiSH ("Homepage Link" below), is under 300k, and that's not as small as I sometimes wish I could get it.

What I believe...

ghaniz786:

It would help if you posted your swi.

JoJoP:

OK, I just tried the link to your site again and this time stayed for a while. You have the track of an entire song in your swf, is that right? If...

JoJoP:

It loaded for me in about 10 seconds (I have a cable connection). What is the total size of the .swf?
