FLASH: RE: Site Check . . . and any thoughts . . thanx to all

Thanx for all your comments on the site above. Yes the the windows

shaking was a javascript with different variables sent for the contact

link vs. the other ones.  You just send a command from flash i.e.

<javascript:tremble(1)> triggering the script on the html page the flash

is embedded in.  unfortunately it doesnt look as good in netscape.  see

script example below.


Someone named Wes mentioned a better way to protect the Sound Canvases

by: "loading a variable text file from the server before playing".  I

would very much like to hear this explained in greater detail so as to

implement it if someone has the time.  Someone asked about a toggling

thing for sound canvases.  its there at the bottom now . . "disable

sound canvases"


Someone else asked about "Space Jimmy of the Manna Music Group".  Space

Jimmy is a studio guy we have here with great ears and immense amounts

of musical creativity.  He's always open for a challenge or the making

of a hypnotic loop.  Email him at

jamesflashbrothers [dot] com

 if youd like

to yack at him more about that stuff.  Hes a great guy, kinda shy and

was flattered beyond recognition with all your positive feedback.  =)


Word from the client was . .

"let's publish it, what are we wainting for . . oh yeah the rest of the

content . . "  hehe

anyway they dont seem to mind the dark setting and they were definitely

wanting something "way out there" so, it turned out good.  Someone

mentioned not to do the remainder of the site in HTML as if it were an

afterthought.  We agree . . we're looking forward to doing the rest of

the site in flash.


btw: got the flash chat working . . keeping track of guests online and

clearing only the chat room locally rather then the entire servers log.

also the server doesnt send everything to the chat room every time. less

overhead. thanx to DrTusk.


if i missed a q . . email me offlist . . ill be happy to talk with ya.

Wes, if youre out there email me =)

Thanx again for all your comments, once again, you all are a wonderful

resource.  we couldnt flash without ya!

tremble script:

n4 = netscape && (parseInt(navigator.appVersion) >= 4);

explorer = (navigator.appName == "Microsoft Internet Explorer");

ie4 = explorer && (parseInt(navigator.appVersion) >= 4);


function tremble(n) {

if (n4 || ie4) {

for (i = 4; i > 0; i--) {

for (j = n; j > 0; j--) {

self.moveBy(0,i);

self.moveBy(i,0);

self.moveBy(0,-i);

self.moveBy(-i,0);

         }

      }
