Hi all,
I hope this is an interesting question and not just a stupid (or lazy) one. I've written a bit of actionsript to do a jpeg loader (just a loadbar and no percent value displayed but that is...

i see. Thanks for the help, atleast I didn't waste too much time travelling towards a dead end.

I'd like to have a button that has a movieclip in the "over" frame.

The movie clip has two frames with stop actions. the first stop is reached automatically but I'd like to have some actionscript...

Thanks for the help, I'll consider this option but It'll be a lot of work doing frame-by-frame for a large wheatfield of individual stalks.

I'm animating a scene with grasses (actually a wheatfield) blowing in the wind. I'd like help on how to achieve a natural wind blowing effect (I've illustrated the wheat stalks and placed them but...

What if I've got an existing site with _my_ existing homemade scrollbar? Is there a way to integrate my scrollbar or must I use the Macromedia component?

trace the bitmap in Flash even. its nice and automated.

I personally don't always like the effects of tracing in vector programs so I usually stick the refernce picture in a background layer,...

Opps ... its working now.. just checked this morning (Featured Sites)

gerbick: how do I view featured Links/Movies???
I only see the Sites when I click the "Featured" link in Flashkits navig.
...

That doesn't do anything. (upgrading to Firefox).

Anyway the reason I use Firebird is I can keep it as a folder in my flashdisk ... no need to install.

The problem is with Featured Sites... I...

Flashkit Featured is Broken? it seems....
I tried it today... (using Mozilla Firebird) and it shows now entries. Even when I type (for example) jun03 it doesn't show any entries.

I'm not sure about the background image speeding animations though....

Won't a bitmap (if its of a high enough quality to look "nice") result in a swf thats much bigger?

- emk

so how did you do the navig anim?

great link for that rotating chrome ball thingy... it really blew my mind.
Another good link is bit101 http://www.bit-101.com

really great site. I love the animation on the buttons.. sort of dissolves!

- emk

the site looks awesome!!
The only thing I don't like is the menus... too transparent, and un-attention-catching. I think you should make them more distinct.

ok... your choice (after all its your design).
Anyway thanks for the update.

Honestly I only see slight changes.

I'm still pushing my suggestion for "colored regions" though.
Thanks for the update.

- emk

It was just a suggestion...
Anyway hope to see what you come up with.

- emk

ok ... maybe have the content section as one solid region with a background to define it.

Hm..... ok heres a mockup:

Just an idea.

thanks for the help. I've knocked out a few cool gradients.

I figure the sites too white... If you had some color _regions_ like a column thats a solid color it might look a bit nicer.

Having just plain white and colored outlines is a nice look but I think...

thanks for the link...

I've seen cartoonsmart before though... I downloaded one of their free beginner tutorials, and it was pretty good.

hey rush... I like the style of you avatar and the sig image... Mind pointing to a tut on the web to recreate that style. Or even do a mini tut in this threat.

- emk

lol! Love that site... its a true commentary on the life/experiences of any graphic/web designer.

- emk

Wow.. this is a great thread for new designer... In terms of technique and process.
Thanks.
