Talking Flash Request

Firstly, i hope this is in the right place for what i wanna say!!

I would like to know if someone would be willing to do some Flash work for me? Not much, just basically add a sound and a loading screen and stuff. Nothing intensive

If anyone would wanna help out feel free to post in here, PM me or catch me on MSN: avey2904@hotmail.com

Thanks in advance!!

Is it like a 'loading' screen or just a intro before the site really opens? In both cases I would be happy to give it a try(I have some experience with flash, but that I'm something near a pro).

And do I also need to create the graphics and the idea or do you have a basic start on how you want to have it? Do you have the music you want as background, or do I have to find it myself?

Just post in here and I will see if it's gonna be a tough job or an easy one.

I have the sound already sorted and yes it is more of a loading screen than an actual intro

So it's gonna be a loading screen for your html page that(as I checked) now loads pretty slow...

I don't even think that that is possible... It is only possible if the rest of the site is also in flash. 'Cause it needs some indication of how far the rest of the site has been loaded and I don't know a way of finding that out (yet). Also as soon as the flash page has been loaded, it cannot load the other page in the background

But explain what you really want, and if it is possible I WILL find a way!!!

Instead of the current intro (the image) there would be a flash applet. (is that the right word?) This flash file would contain a sound file. When you click on our website, the swf will load and display the current intro pic but play the sound. I thought it would be better playing the sound in a flash file as then the load (0-100%) deal can be displayed. Rather than in HTML, where if sound is played you don't get a time scale. (you just get the bars in the bottom Right hand corner) Correct me if I'm wrong?

Well this is going to take us to an entirely different side of webdesign. Because it can't be done in flash, but It can in Javascript. You also get an preload bar and for the sound you can put in a small (transparant) flash file. Here's the script that can make that happen.

You have to make a separate html-page as preloader,
between <HEAD> and </HEAD>
you have to put this code(you will have to modify it)

--------------------------------------------------------------------------------

<script language="JavaScript1.1">
<!-- begin hiding// You may modify the following:

var locationAfterPreload= "http://www.klootzakken.f2s.com/klootzakken.htm"
var lengthOfPreloadBar = 250 // Length of preload bar (in pixels)
var heightOfPreloadBar = 25 // Height of preload bar (in pixels)//Put the URLs of images that you want to preload below (as many as you want)
var yourImages = new Array("http://www.klootzakken.f2s.com/bgkeuze.jpg",
"http://www.klootzakken.f2s.com/Collapse.gif",
"http://www.klootzakken.f2s.com/logo1.gif",
"http://www.klootzakken.f2s.com/logo1.jpg",
"http://www.klootzakken.f2s.com/menu_home.gif",
"http://www.klootzakken.f2s.com/menu_links.gif",
"http://www.klootzakken.f2s.com/menu_overhen.gif",
"http://www.klootzakken.f2s.com/menu_reageer.gif",
"http://www.klootzakken.f2s.com/menu_sollici.gif",
"http://www.klootzakken.f2s.com/menu_telnum.gif",
"http://www.klootzakken.f2s.com/menu_vragen.gif",
"http://www.klootzakken.f2s.com/menu_vrijwil.gif",
"http://www.klootzakken.f2s.com/welkom.jpg",
"http://www.klootzakken.f2s.com/download.gif",
"http://www.klootzakken.f2s.com/download2.gif",
"http://www.klootzakken.f2s.com/adspir.gif",
"http://www.klootzakken.f2s.com/agent.gif",
"http://www.klootzakken.f2s.com/briga.gif",
"http://www.klootzakken.f2s.com/comm.gif",
"http://www.klootzakken.f2s.com/copmeet.jpg",
"http://www.klootzakken.f2s.com/hoofd_a.gif",

"http://www.klootzakken.f2s.com/hoofdcom.gif",
"http://www.klootzakken.f2s.com/inspect.gif",
"http://www.klootzakken.f2s.com/surv.gif")

// Do not modify anything beyond this point

!if (document.images) {
var dots = new Array()
dots[0] = new Image(1,1)
dots[0].src = "black.gif" // default preloadbar color (note: You can substitute it with your image, but it has to be 1x1 size)
dots[1] = new Image(1,1)
dots[1].src = "blue.gif" // color of bar as preloading progresses (same note as above)
var preImages = new Array(),coverage = Math.floor(lengthOfPreloadBar/yourImages.length),currCount = 0
var loaded = new Array(),i,covered,timerID
var leftOverWidth = lengthOfPreloadBar%coverage}function loadImages() {
for (i = 0; i < yourImages.length; i++) {
preImages = new Image()
preImages[i].src = yourImages[i]
}
for (i = 0; i < preImages.length; i++) {
loaded[i] = false
}
checkLoad()}function checkLoad() {
if (currCount == preImages.length) {
location.replace(locationAfterPreload)
return
}
for (i = 0; i <= preImages.length; i++) {
if (loaded[i] == false && preImages[i].complete) {
loaded[i] = true
eval("document.img" + currCount + ".src=dots[1].src")
currCount++
}
}
timerID = setTimeout("checkLoad()",10) }

// end hiding -->
</script>
------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

This should do it... don't ask me anything more about javascript 'cause I know about it...
But I found this script on flash site were I hover around in the forums once in a while.

Hope this will do it for you...

you could also try to implent this javascript in a flash file, but that's gonna be extremely hard to do... if you are willing to try that you could check out flashkit, it's an awesome flash resource site. You can find almost anything there...
