Free resources, recommendations, code samples, snippets, tutorials and links to related materials for individuals interested in flash & web site development. Pretty much everything here is stuff I have used at some point in my career and thus deem of value, either as a learning tool, foundation block or a helping hand. So I hope this is useful to somebody :) Enjoy!

 |
Fadein - FadeOut - Some foundation samples of created a fade in or fade out effect in flash. Each sample achieves a slightly different result. |
|
Animation Interval - This is an sample of an interval script that will replay an animation at a given delay, interval, increment etc. You set the seconds (1 seconds = 1000) and your off and running. |
|
Frame Pause - A different approach to dealing with time in animations, this is a frame pause. Setup up the function and place the pause on the desired frame. |
|
Flash XML Progress Bar - I created this for use in powerpoint, but it potentially has endless uses. Passes an xml value to a progress bar graphic to set properties such as scale, percentage etc. |
|
XML populated drop down menu in flash -This is an extremely basic example of creating a xml based drop-down menu in flash. I later adapted this code to make add-on that I could merge into SimpleViewer. Flash has a component for creating these already, however it is natively around 40k once inserted where as mine is about 1k. |
|
Pre SimpleViewer XML menu - This is a more complex XML drop down menu in flash. This is the last version I created before I inserted it into SimpleViewer and augmented a few variables here and there to make it assimilate with the code. It is in no way user-friendly code as I coded it quickly with few comments & lots of funky variables. However it may help as a guidance to those interested in creating their own custom xml flash menus. I'm sure there are better ways to accomplish what I have created here. Non the less - it is extremely light weight, 2k and button colors & text are customizable. Warning: the code may hurt your eyes...but it is FREE :) I offer no support on this..use it as a learning tool :) |

Combobox - If you ever have have issues passing variables with comboboxes in flash, combining variables etc. This is a great example to get you on track. Credit to Jamie Byers - www.jamiebyers.com |
|
Slide Image - This code (when used properly) allows you to make an image larger than your flash stage vertically and horizontally pannable. In other words you can slide back and forth around the details of the image. There are often scenarios where you need to cram a lot of detail into a limited amount of screen space! |
|
 |
Subtle No Right Click - This is a much less obnoxious approach to the no-right click method and contains no annoying prompts, disbables the status message at the bottom of the browser, however if a visitor want to really get a hold of your page source there are plenty of other low effort ways. This just curbs the laymen. Credit for this script goes to Javascriptkit.com and can also be found there with some searching. |
|
Enable Active content & Flash - Getting an obnoxious grey border around your flash objects & on page load are they temporarily disabled until someone activates them by clicking or space bar. Avoid this with the javascript active content script. Embed your flash with this script and no more flash problems. For examples of usage go here. |
|
Directory Split - This JavaScript became useful for me when in use in conjunction with PHP. The syntax itself is the inportant part. How you use it is ofcourse up to you :) |
|
Anylink Drop Down Menu - This is a great menu script by Dynamic Drive. I use this script for my own menu however I changed it just slightly to serve my own purposes. I didn't like the fact that you couldn't horizontally reposition the menu. It left aligns with the parent menu. So I inserted a var that could be found in the alternate "vertical version" which you can change the number in to suit your needs and it will align apropriately. Get the original from dynamic drive here. |
|
DHTML Content / Cross Browser- This is a great script for creating a content rotator on your page that works in all modern DHTML browsers. Credit to javascriptkit.com for this great code snippet. |
