» 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.
This tutorial shows you how to make use of a new feature of Flash MX, the shared object. At the same time you will learn how to use radiobuttons as event handlers like real buttons.
The shared object is a new feature of Flash MX and works like a cookie. When you type text into a textfield and this text is defined as a shared object, the text will be remembered even you close the file. This is also true when a file containing one or more shared objects is on a server. The point here is that the path on your computer is important. When you change this path by putting the file into a different location you will not be able to see the information you have stored but it will be recovered if you put the file back into its original location. Macromedia has also a tutorial on this, where the number of times you opened a file is counted (Shared Object).
