» 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.
Initially we set the variable id to 1 and then increment it everytime a new MovieClip is created by the duplicateMovieClip() function.
We also set a condition which resets the id to 1 when id becomes greater than 100. This is done to keep the names of the duplicated clips small.
random() is a function which takes a number as its argument. random(3) will yield either 0,1 or 2. Similarly, random(2) will yield either 0 or 1.
_root["trail"+id]._x+=random(20) is the same as _root["trail"+id]._x=_root["trail"+id]._x+random(20)
Similarly,_root["trail"+id]._y+=random(20) is the same as _root["trail"+id]._y=_root["trail"+id]._y+random(20)
The above two statements randomize the location of the duplicated MovieClips to give a spread effect. You can omit the two statements if you want a simple linear trail.
