Ne wbanner at kirupa

just noticed that
nice work on the diff color changes:ub:

yes i noticed that too, but i think he changed it to random today

thanks =) Yeah, I changed it to random today. I also added a shadow-like effect to the text kirupa.com (it looks raised now). Shocked that nobody noticed that :frowning:

Cheers!

I noticed the change in your footer, but I must admit I don’t look at your header much…

subtle…

very subversive…

:beam:

Rev

i noticed it
maybe a tutorial is in the works for the random colors:sigh:

Nah, probably not. The random colors are simply swf files called by the main header file. For example, the URL of one the color movies is: http://www.kirupa.com/random/c2.swf

Replace the 2 in c2 with a number from 1 - 9 to see the other colors. There is a tutorial someplace for using loadMovie.

Cheers!

Hey Kirupa… why didn’t you use a random color code instead?

Like have different shades of blocks on one layer, then a solid colors shape above that with a lowered opacity so it changes the hue of the blocks under it.

Then just use Ilyas’ random color code in the AS Tricks section to change the color of the clip above the blocks.

It would save you .swf files and give you a wider variety of colors.

Hey lost,
That sounds like a good idea! I can make it so that once one color has been randomly generated, that color can be modified slightly to create the different shades for the other little blocks. I think I found out what I will be doing tomorrow =)

Cheers!

Hey… cool, can’t wait :slight_smile: Just trying to make things easier on ya, and save server space as well =)

Hey lost, et al,
I finished the new banner. When you refresh the page, you will see a new, truly random color each time. I used ilyas’s techique found here: http://www.kirupa.com/developer/actionscript/tricks/randomcolor.asp

Cheers!
Kirupa :hat:

Now you have more than 9 colors and less than 9 movies :wink:
