With some scripting, it is possible to add a PayPal checkout to your Flash website using the Flash LoadVars object.
Although briefly documented in our help files, a detailed description of the LoadVars class can be found at the Adobe website or in the Flash AS2 language reference pdf document which can be downloaded from here. Read the rest of this entry »
The CheckBox component can save a significant amount of development time if this type of control is required on your webpage. The control is extremely useful to provide options that allow layers or detail to be optionally added or omitted from your movie.
There was recent forum discussion on how to resize the published .swf movie according to the current browser dimensions. As can be seen from the demonstration movie below, the default html template does not resize the .swf movie to fill the available browser space. This blog article describes how to modify the html file so that the swf movie is resized for the current browser. (See the second example in the movie below). The modifications can also be applied by publishing with the new fullbrowser.swhtml html template that is supplied with this blog post.
The template / modifications will work in Max3, Max4, miniMax3 and miniMax4 and have been tested with IE9, Firefox 9.01, Google Chrome 16.0.912.75 m and Safari 5.1. When using IE9 and Firefox, a redundant vertical scroll bar appears however this does not affect usage.
This tutorial demonstrates how to make a simple solar system simulation using SWiSH Max4 and its motion path feature. This is a great animation for a science class, or any space oriented website.
Season’s Greetings from us all at SWiSHzone.com. We wish you, and your families, all the best for the festive season!
SWiSH Max4 allows the user to assign a transparent color to images. The process works well. However, an inconsistent background color can introduce aberrations including jagged edges and areas where the original background remains. These aberrations can be improved by applying an inner blur filter.
The Flash animation below shows the different stages of applying transparency then adding a filter. The last image demonstrates how good it can look when used with a dark background. In this case, the filter color is altered to match the background color.
