If I remember correctly, there is a free, downloadable component at http://www.flashcomponents.net that does exactly what you are looking for, and even has a nice XML file controlling the images and the captions.

thanks for the tip is there an eeasy way to do this without using images? id like to put some content in there instead?

hey, colincameron,

there's another thread floating around here about EVB style resizing or something.. basically the same script, but modified to accomadate buttons and a preloader.. I don't know of any other tutorials.. I've been thinking of turning the whole thing into a component, myself, but if what destro says is true, I probably won't bother..

oh- and for content use .swf's rather than jpgs..

Hi devonair,

Thankx for sharing your code!
I'm new with Flash...how can I modify your code?

1. Display pics once (no looping)
2. After last pic displays, fade out and display a static logo (which I'll make it a link to inside web site page).

Thankx in advance,
Arthur

Hey, arthaus,

in the fadeIn function, where it checks to see what picture you're on, just change the if statement to something like this:

PHP:

<?php
 if (_root.loader_mc._alpha>=100) {
            delete this.onEnterFrame;
            //move to next pic or back to the first if you're done.
            picNum++;
            if (picNum>3) {
                trace(">>ADD NEW SCRIPT HERE<<");
            }
            //start from the top after waiting the delayAmt in seconds.
            displayPic = setInterval(loadPic, delayAmt*1000);
        }

?>

Except, of course, instead of the trace command, put in your new script to load in the logo you'd like..

Hope that might help.

d.

Hi devonair,

Thankx for your prompt reply and code help.

I'm new to Flash + Actionscripting. For sake of learning, how should I go about searching for source/tutorial amending (loading the logo image) your code?

Cheers,
Arthur

arthaus,

The resizing script itself has examples of loading, but for a much better and detailed description, you can give this tute a try:

Hi devonair,

I really appreciate your input.
Avid PHP/MySQL coder, I find 'actionscripting' in Flash simply amazing!!

I'll look into it.
I still like simple, clean and effective animation. I'm glad I stumbled on it

Cheers,
Arthur
