» 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.
The zoom slider works similarly to the magnifying glass in the frame code...but does a little more math before passing on to the functions at the root level.
Create the movie clip
Create a new movie clip and create a knob looking graphic (a simple radial gradient will do for most people). over that graphic, place your/a transparent button. Size (and/or shape) it to lay over the knob graphic.
Important: Use the alignment tool to center (horizontally and vertically) the graphic and button relative to the stage...this clip is not registered at 0,0 internally.
The drag effect
on (press) {
y_coord = _root.zoom_knob._y;
//drag the knob in a confined space
_root.zoom_knob.startDrag(true, x_coord, y_coord, x_limit, y_coord);
mouse_down = "true";
play ();
// Set the toggle and play the magnifying glass clip as well
_root.mag.mouse_down = "true";
_root.mag.play();
}
on (release, releaseOutside) {
stopDrag ();
mouse_down = "false";
stop ();
// Stop the magnifying glass clip and set the mouse_down toggle to false
_root.mag.mouse_down = "false";
_root.mag.stop();
}
