» 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.
There is a text box on each button called
linkname. Initially it is blank. Here I fill it with the text from
the variable definitions on frame 1 of the main timeline. That is where all the
buttons names and URL links live. Since the variable lives on the main timeline
I can refer to it with a '/:'
Set Variable: dup&":linkname" = Eval("/:text"&q)
Set Variable: dup&":link" = Eval("/:link"&q)
Because there is no way in Flash 4 to set the
color of text, and I wanted two colors of text (one for mouseover and one for
regular display) I created two movie clips with different colored text boxes in
them. They contain exactly the same text. Just one has a different color.
For the 'mouse Over' text I called the movie clip 'over'.
Set Property ("button"&q&"/over", Visibility) = false
End Loop
The scrollbar is only visible of there are
enough links to require scrolling. But, in case we ever need to reset the list,
and the scrollbar was set to 'not visible' we reset it here.
Set Property ("../../../scrollbar", Visibility) = true
The variable text box ':activelinks' is just a display so the user can see how many links are in the
current list (after filtering). Since we haven't filtered yet, and we want the
list to have an initial value, we set it here.
Set Variable: "../../../:active_links" = /:total&" link(s) in list."
Set Variable: "/:active_links" = /:total
