Hello all!,
I have attached a zip file with my current status on creating a Feature Story Rotator.
The effect I am trying to achieve can be view at http://www.gettyone.com.
There is a small navigation area which will change the entire image and story text when the user rollsover a particular menu item.
However, if the user does NOT interact, then each story will be cycled through every 5 seconds or so. Please refer to link provide above for functionality reference.
Currently:
I have most of the effect in place. However when the stories rotate from one to another they fade in from white. The main objective I am trying to accomplish is that the next story/mov fades in on top of the previous story/mov. Things start to get tricky when I need Flash to keep trakc of what is currently loaded and either 1.) What is the next story to load? 2.) What is the story the user requested to load on their mouseover interaction.
I am figuring this will involve swapping depths from one movie to another. Although I am not quite certain how www.gettyone.com has achieved this.
I look forward to any effort that could be given to this.
Thank you!
