IS IT Flash IFRAME/LAYER ???

[gavinv3]

Sometime back - around a year or so - there were websites that used to have this (not seen any recently using it ) - I remember one of them was 'legally blonde' - even MSN used to use these things with the adds - also the butterfly from MSN was animated to move on the screen and would then settle in a specific location. Or for that matter a Car would zoom in an be a part of the Advertisement on the website - It was a flash animation that had a transparent background - kind off

How is this done?:confused:

Flash and JS. JS to control the size, transparency and showing, location and frequency (mouse over, just once) of the Flash animations.

Blizz, That was lightning fast, Will I be able to find such a script somewhere?

Have fun (http://www.flash-applets.com/tutorial/transparentmovies.html)

The best though is to learn Flash enough to make your own. Great tutorials help and the best ones are not free...

However, cartoonsmart.com (http://www.cartoonsmart.com/exciting_flash_ads.html) has some good banner ad tutorials for cheap.

:D

You're Right,
I will be starting to revise my flash skill very soon, I used to do simple animations n link in flash before (4yrs ago) - not so much with actionscripts. Now that I have to put my hands in it I will need to start - That was a cool site - I remember a site virtual-fx at that time - but its not the same anymore - Blizz, can you recommend a few more websites that offer good tutorials in flash - especially that teach how to process backend data - or pull up info from a text file? :p
