Made in Flash CS 3, AS 2
As per prg9’s request i saved in Flash 8 [FileName: blogF8.zip]
This version shouldnt work properly with the slider - Inside & Outside now.
I also Included my sctruture of database. (for your reference - ur database name may vary)

Thanks for reposting in F8 format jon_bla, now more people will be included. (No need to give me credit for the simple suggetion).
EDIT: Perhaps its just me but the link_mc that slides out does not work. When viewing the link provided for the example online, it slides out but never slides back? (Just me ?)
[QUOTE=jon_bla;2329798]Does it work here, this is the version i gave out.[/QUOTE]
[QUOTE=igby;2329830]I’m having the same problem on the 2nd link you gave.[/QUOTE]
Thanks for verifying igby.
@ jon_bla: Same thing. Once it slides out you cant get it to slide off to see the blog entry. It works for you?
Huh… I mean its working for me… you know what let me see the F8 version ( i made it in Flash cs3)…
Did it say you were missing some font? I will soon post the fonts (as soon as i know which one I used).
The Other problem i can think of is, I did hard code that slider - so if move its position at all it wouldnt work…
Aye, the “Select a Topic” tab slides out from the right and never goes back in and covers up all of the content, even after clicking the arrow or one of the topic buttons. Good work though. (This happens on your page).
[QUOTE=jon_bla;2330053]Okay Try now i didnt hard code this time![/QUOTE]
Getting closer, now if you click the bar on the slide out it slides back off the entry so you can see the entry, but then once off if you click the bar again (hoping it will slide back out) it disappears and is inaccessible ? Vanished ?
[QUOTE=jon_bla;2330065]Okay how about now… ?[/QUOTE]
Same thing, with both the original bar, and the new “force it back” button, once it slides off and you click the bar to slide it back out, it disappears.
Also the new F8 zip files appear to be CS3 again, as I can not open it in Flash 8 (to look at the code).
Here is my take on it… in looking at the original file. From what I can tell the main issue is the registration pount of the link_mc is not TL (or in this case atleast L) so when it slides back and with the hard coding of the X it, vanishes.
So to fix it, if you change the reg point of the link_mc to TL (or just L) and then use this code (or something similar of course) then it works as it should.
//All Buttons Are here:
var outPos = 565; // <<----
var inPos = 6; // <<----
function slideIN() { // <<----
var myTween:Tween = new Tween(link_mc, "_x", mx.transitions.easing.Regular.easeOut, outPos, inPos, 10, false); // <<----
}
function slideOut() { // <<----
var myTween:Tween = new Tween(link_mc, "_x", mx.transitions.easing.Bounce.easeOut, inPos, outPos, 35, false); // <<----
}
//contains all the btns
link_mc.arr_btn.onRelease = function() {
if (link_mc._x == outPos) { // <<----
slideIN(); // <<----
} else if (link_mc._x == inPos) { // <<----
slideOut(); // <<----
}
};
//the btns themselves
var p:Number = 0;
function titles(p) {
comment_txt.text = "";
if (link_mc._x == inPos) {
slideOut(); // <<----
//
// ...... more code inbetween
//
// Also here located further down in the code
var my_lv:LoadVars = new LoadVars();
my_lv.onLoad = function(success:Boolean) {
if (success) {
slideIN(); // <<----
I will leave it up to you how you want to name and code things, but the registation of the link_mc is the major issue and the coding can be as above or however you like.
thanks prg9, I will look into that. But the weirdest thing is that the orignal file work on all the computer i tested on. Can you tell me what version of **Flash Player **do you have?
Beacause i test it on about 6 - 7 PCs, Which inlucded **XP, Mac OS X, Server 2003, Linux(Ubuntu) and Winows 2000 **and on different browsers like **IE7, Mozilla 2.x, Safari 3.x **- and all of them worked fine. ofcourse they had Flash Player 9 installed in it. But i thought Flash 8 would be compatable…
Dont know what to say…??

My player version is: 9,0,124,0 and also tested in Safari, Firefox etc… I dont know what to say why it was working for you? (Maybe you had some good version of the SWF already cached on your systems, I really dont know) But since “igby” also pointed out the issue as well as did “McGuffin” it was not just me having the issue.
The good thing is you have testers for your files and things are getting sorted out and you are getting feedback. Again this is a really nice share jon_bla, thanks for sharing! It looks really good for a v1 release, very nice start.
[QUOTE=tpspoons;2330097]Might be a flash player 10 problem, works fine for me in flash player 9, but in 10 it doesn’t work.[/QUOTE]
That could be an issue perhaps, but I was testing with v9.
Also the version that is online now has already been fixed, so hopefully it should be working for everyone.
Getting closer, now if you click the bar on the slide out it slides back off the entry so you can see the entry, but then once off if you click the bar again (hoping it will slide back out) it disappears and is inaccessible ? Vanished ?
