Does anyone know how to implement the slideshow like this one? When a user clicks the option from the background, it will slide to the middle and the application will be loaded…

I am still quite new to Flash and actionscript, help will be greatly appreciated…

Pls tell me if there is any tutorial out there to do this kind of flash application…

Thanks in advance…

if your new to flash, let me tell you you are not going to be able to do this…

check out the tutorials section. you will need to study a lot!

xml, tween class, movieclip transformations, thats a way to big first project…

meanwhile you can be lucky and get some code out here. but while nobody posts it, check the tutorial section and start playing width flash!

cheers, and good luck

Stick to the basics. Your not going to find any tutorial to do that do that because its very advanced.
I can tell you what you need to learn in order to be able to do it though.
You can google these terms with AS3, there a lot of tutorials on them

  • Papervision 3d
  • Netstream
  • Bitmapdata
  • Masking

Once you get the hang of them, you should be able to figure out how to do that site no snap

The Goods, thank you for your guidance, i just want to confirm again if that is all i need? because in that nike application, i need to replace the video with an interactive page, so instead of loading video, the application needs to load a page which contains links, buttons, or even video…

Thanks The Goods, you have been great help.

They just used Papervision 3d for the buttons in the background, which is why they look like they are in a 3d space.

Then they put a movie clip above it, which is the video player. The buttons in the background control which video is played when its pressed.

On the video, they have a reflect effect which they use the BitmapData class to do.
They have a event listener for Enterframe to copy what ever is playing inside the movieclip (Video) and attach it to the bottom of the video and place a gradient mask over it to make it look like cool reflection.

Hi TheGoods, I have been trying it, but i dont really get what u mean in your second and third explanation points:

Then they put a movie clip above it, which is the video player. The buttons in the background control which video is played when its pressed.

They have a event listener for Enterframe to copy what ever is playing inside the movieclip (Video) and attach it to the bottom of the video and place a gradient mask over it to make it look like cool reflection.

Do you have any sample tutorials for that?

Thanks again, you have been a great help…
