Hey all!!!
I was wondering if anyone knows how to make those floater things that appear on sites time to time usually advertising something. I think there made with flash…
If anyone can explain how to make them or point me to a tutorial it would be of great help.
I attached screenshot of one of them if you didnt understand what i was talking about…
🙂

Are you sure you want to make one? They are pure evil. The most irriatating thing that can possibly be done to a browser. Worse than popup.

Well aside from them being pure pure pure evil, they only work in IE on Windows, so aside from the script to get that to work you need a script to check browser and tell it to load if it is the right browser. Which isn’t hard, but it makes it more evil that is discriminates against browsers 😛

Transparent Windowless backgrounds on Flash movies don’t work in Netscape fluid\_one. So unless you want a big solid block over your content 😉 (assuming nsc is your very odd way of saying netscape)

Its NetScape not NetSCape…lol, im just used to seeing NS or NSN (netscape navigator), never saw nsc before that I can recall.
And wow, I swear I have the most recent player and transparent flash doesn’t work. I tested it just to make sure, it doesn’t work for me. Interesting. I may reinstall the plug-in, see what happens.
Thanks for that link, I woulda been clueless to this since it doesn’t work for me.

Wow, that was weird. I removed then reinstalled the Flash Plugin for Mozilla and now it DOES work.
I just updated my plugin last week when I re-downloaded Mozilla, so I wonder why it didn’t work. Eh, oh well, it works now and that is all that matters to me.
