Sorry for waking up this ancient thread - I would just like to hear if anyone knows how they did that ?...make the scrollbars in flash I mean. You can see the scroll-area (if thats what its called) is transparent if you resize.

Oh my...
This site is so cool I din even know you can adjust the brightness, color theme, and animation settings.

And ya, that scroll bar thingy too...

Edit: I'm guessing, for the scroll bar - all you have to do is hide the default scrollbar with javascript and then create your own customized one with Flash?

Enviably accomplished but who cares about this kinda stuff anymore - seen it a thousand times. Isn't 2A to blame for this?

Average user will not even visit 1 link of this site i think. The layout had too much graphics and the content was extremely small. Window upon window layout ...

Graphics and sounds were cool but the site itself as a whole does not qualify in my opinion and yet it has won several known awards go figure !

its called connections......oh and btw someone hit it right on the nose "Too much going on at once - processor intensive, sensory overload"

Just beause they have the techy blue scheme, "ambient sound" with miniature thumbnails doesnt mean its cool.

omg where is villain2 when you need him

[villain2]

I'm here "sense".

You and Johnny S. are ... I'm not going into it ...

Johnny is surprised it's won a ton of awards ... well, like I've been saying, some sites are appealing for their look, others for navigation, and yet others for both. It can't always be one way. You know, there may eventually be a day when people get smart enought to learn how to program their vcr's, read the fine print in contracts and navigate websites that have *gasp* graphics in them.

However ...

This site is cool but it's cluttered. Too much stuff on the page. It doesn't work at all for navigation because there is no direction, but it does have a great look to it.

i don't get this one. to me, it's a reverse monet.

up close, lots of great details, but as a whole it's cluttered and monotone.

this is definitely one of my favorites...the color/brightness settings, the transitions, and the graphics.

and something no one's even mentioned yet... every time you go to the site, there's a different 3D animation. Sometimes it's the fan, other times it's this cannon, sometimes the logo reflecting.

Amazing... obviously not a great site for displaying content though. Few 100% flash sites are, imo.

Allow me to show you one that does.

holy sh*t

Aside from being able to copy/paste text, or bookmark specific pages, that feels just like an HTML site. Very impressive.

Thanks

its hot.. but i think this is all people can do... no one can think higher.

I've read a lot of people say that about sites like these, but none of them really provide any examples of what they're talking about.

It's a site for showing off your design skill...it's not supposed to revolutionize e-commerce or search engines. What are you guys hoping for exactly?

of course thats what the site is for. duh... why do you think it was made?

This is a 'cool sites' area on a Flash design message board. The program 'Flash' have been givin reviews such as "there are no limits now with webdesing, endless possibility.." bla bla bla... Sites are gettin a bit too papercut out, repeating themselves.. people come here 'expecting' and hoping for influential design.


think before u speak.

[villain2]

Cool sites is more about the "art" of web design and not so much about the functionality.

The sites here are mostly entertainment related.

Perhaps a new forum for usability??

Nice little rant, but you didn't answer my question at all. This is a cool site, posted in the cool sites section, you agree it's "hot." Yet, your comment is implying it's missing something, without specifying what or giving an example of what you're talking about.
