    Hey Again,

    A simple question.
    A lot of you might have been to my site, http://vicksteria.virtualave.net
    Now, on my site, on the splash movie, when u click on enter, the scene that appears has a jpg of a orange colored saturn. Now, what I wanted to do what replace that with a globe with text revolving around it. Now, is that possible thru SWiSH? Now I have my doubt if it is, but hey, thats what this board is for right?

    Is it possible thru vortex at all?

    -Thanks,
    F4ll3n

    Hello, Here is an Idea for you to try out. Your question has an answer of yes it is possible. Here it is, In your program you have the effects drop down, goto Vortex and in this FX you have Scale Factors, Start Scale Factors, End Scale Factors, it's up to you whether or not you use the alpha fade, Begin with your text VISIBLE, use your Gravitation points(x,y,z) to your advantage, Use the mid points to adjust for angles, and the most important factors are the ROTATION ORDER/ANGELS, Then config your forward and backward motions in seperate frames, also youu have your camera points and your transformation options.

    Yes, In your HTML code put this

    <EMBED SRC="flash.swf" swLiveConnect=FALSE width=120 height=120 QUALITY=autohigh looping=99
    BGCOLOR=#000000 TYPE="application/x-shockwave-flash"
    PLUGINSPAGE="http://www.macromedia.com/shockwave/download/index.cgi?P1_Prod_Version=ShockwaveFlash">

    For Looping . . .

    If you want your text animation to continually loop without effecting the rest of the animation, you'll have to learn the LoadMovie commands, which I still can't figure out . .
    although here is a link to the explanation and examples . .
