» Title: Creative DW Image Show PRO
» Description: Creative DW Image Show PRO is a Dreamweaver extension which enables the user to create multimedia presentations. It combines the features of the popular Creative DW Image Show with the ability to add professional text effects to slides (similar to After Effects). The product is very customizable: the user can choose the duration of the transition effects, the slide motion start and end position, zoom and panning type for both images and texts.
Our smart clip will be a simple URL button. It will show a caption in the text box, and the button
will go to a URL. Both of these two properties will be set up in the smartclip.
Step 1 :
Building the Button
First, create a simple button and a 'dynamic text' box with the variable name of caption. Make sure you turn off 'Selectable' too!
Add this script to the button (notice there is no URL only a variable called "url"):
on (release) {
getURL (url, "_blank");
}
Step 2 :
Convert to Movie Clip
Highlight the button and the text box and hit F8 to turn the objects into a symbol... name it what ever you like, but it has to be a movie clip... (which Flash 5 defaults to... nice!)
