Hi there, I have a photgraphy site and on the portfolio section i have a border that adjusts to the photo size when a button is pressed. Below is the code on one of the thumbnail buttons…
Basically i’m wondering if theres anything i can add to this code to set off a preloader when release is hit or at least a movie clip that has a “loading please be patient” picture on so that people are not waiting with a blank screen for the photo to appear. Does this make any sense?? :huh:
[COLOR=navy]onClipEvent (load) {
newWidth = 467;
newHeight = 350;
menuText.text = newWidth+“x”+newHeight;
menuBg._alpha = 30;
}
on (rollOver) {
menuBg._alpha = 50;
}
on (rollOut) {
menuBg._alpha = 30;
}
on (press) {
menuBg._alpha = 30;
//bounce the box.boxShadow movie (param, endingVal, clipName, speedFactor, bounceFactor)
_root.bounce("_width", newWidth, _parent._parent.boxBg, 10, .6);
_root.bounce("_height", newHeight, _parent._parent.boxBg, 10, .6);
//Note: This is also where you would load a jpeg or external swf into the boxMovieHolder
//_parent._parent.boxMovieHolder.loadMovie(“swfname.swf”);
_parent._parent.boxMovieHolder.loadMovie(“images/fern.jpg”);[/COLOR]
