3dCarousel version 2 component for swishmax [component]

Apr 11 2009

Hi Swishmax 2 users and flash users (as well as web designers, web developers).
3dCarousel version 2 is the new version of my famous flash 3d carousel component for Swishzone’s Swishmax 2 alternate flash creation IDE.
3dCarousel V2 allows you to easily create and simulate a 3d carousel flash effect from images and items in your swishmax project.

New features in 3dCarousel version 2:

In version 1, you would have to use script in order to load different images to the carousel and attach button’s event to them.
Now – You can import images to swishmax and the component will make it all happen. As for button events – just put the script on the image/movieclip as you are familiar with ( on(release) {} ).
You can customize behaviors, colors and each item to act differently (with the version 2) – you can insert script to any object you chose to put inside the component.
There are new buttons to control the 3d carousel – left and right buttons to control the movement as well as a play button – all within the end result of a small swf file effect.
A new public API is available for actionscript as in Easing Tweens 2 Component (example for the flash carousel actionscript API using is included inside the component).

It is a Release Candidate and still needs some improvements and additions – ones that i would like to get from you.

You can change the look and appearance and use the public function “playTrack(path-to-track)” in order to play other tracks.

This player will auto play the track you enter in the parameter “Song Path”.

google translate in a popup bookmarklet

Feb 28 2009

Hello google chrome users.
Please use the NEW bookmarklets post.
For those who are not familiar with google translate service – it is a translation service that allows you to translate text from one language to another, a whole site and a user’s entered text.
There are many bookmarklets that allow you to translate this current website to your own language, but i like to stay at the current language and translate a single word or a paragraph – and this is where actually Babylon comes in handy.

Swishmax shape tween [demonstration]

Feb 27 2009

It’s been long since i’ve wanted to achieve the effect of shape tween in swishmax.
I once tried to achieve it using two shapes: a rectangle and a circle while one of them is masked (the circle) – so it’ll look like the side of the rectangle is becoming round.

It didn’t look like a shape tween at all. I dropped it.
