expanding banner
  • Does anybody know how to make a flash-banner so that when You put the cursor over it it expands over the page and when you move Your cursor out it folds back to the original size?

    I know I must use dhtml and layers, but I haven't quite figured out how to do it...




  • It should work


  • Post a link to what you have created I am interested to see how this is done....;)


  • Decompiler (http://sothink.com/flashdecompiler/)

    here is the link.........tried it on the "expanding banner example". file it does show all the info you need to make your own expanding banner...you do need a version of Macromedia Flash
    to create the .swf file......


  • Over 90% of people have the flash plugin. I don't know one person who doesn't have it.

    You should use a flash decompiler for that stuff instead of a binary/hex editor.


    That link has a paghe with some text on it. It has no banner.

    Its not java or vbscript its javascript/livescript.

    Talking about javascript there are xss holes in these forums that need to be fixed. But they won't be because Admin abandoned this site.


  • Thank You for Your replies. They were not QUITE what I meant. Here is an example I managed to steal to show You what I mean.

    Expanding banner example (http://www.coronaria.fi/www/mainostesti/expanding_banner_test.html)

    The html / java /vbscript part I understand (or can hack). What I don't know is what I need to do with the flash-banner.

    This only works with IE now and needs the flash-plug (I guess I could use azlatin2000's thing with non-flash users). It would always be better if it worked with other browsers too.

    I opened the swf-file with a binary editor and found these from there:

    FSCommand:openwindow
    javascript:setFlashHeight('prius',300);
    javascript:setFlashHeight('prius',90);
    javascript:open_popup()

    But I can't quite put the pieces together.


  • Livescript is the old name for javascript.

    I still try to make banners so that they work also without flash.

    Where can I find a "flash decompiler"?

    That's strange. It works with all my browsers (but only IE shows the expanding feature)

    Its not java or vbscript its javascript/livescript.

    I meant java- / vbscript (didn't know livescript though, thanks for the info). I knew it is not java.

    I figured out how it works. I have to put inside the banner the following:

    on(rollOver){
    getURL('javascript:setFlashHeight('prius',300);');
    }

    on(rollOut){
    getURL('javascript:setFlashHeight('prius',90);');
    }

    I managed to create my own expanding banner (to annoy anyone who sees it).
    :D


  • Not sure if this is what you need or do you want the banner to expand to cover the entire page? without distortion of the page ?

    Sample (http://www3.sympatico.ca/terry.mckee/banner-2.swf)

    Can be done in the flash file.......Just make the banner a button
