Hello Fellows,
I'm currently developing a Flash site where the client is interested in
using the Papervision cube (it'll actually be more of a rectangular box) as
a means to represent their site; each of the cube's sides would function as
one of the site's pages. Here is the link to the mock up, pardon the
crudeness of the quality there is simply no need to go all out just yet.
http://www.hectorarandawebworx.com/SandBox/Burning/
http://www.hectorarandawebworx.com/SandBox/Burning/ (Only the first two
buttons are active)
There are a few issue I'd like to chat about and hope someone may be able to
enlighten me.
1. Is it possible for each side to contain all the content for an entire
site page (ie: full text with scrolling capabilities, a video player, links,
etc.)? I know that each side of the cube is composed of a movie clip;
however, when I put a simple button within the MC it wouldn't react to the
mouse rollover. As an added note, I'm not looking for the entire cube's face
to be one big active button like the sample provided on gotoAndLearn.
2. The navigation menu shifts wildly when the script for the cube initiates.
I purposefully added a 1 sec delay before the cube becomes active to
simulate a time allotment for when the site will build after it is done
preloading. In my tinkering I've found out that if the flash object is
programmed to run in a fixed width-height manner the shift doesn't occur,
but does if the flash object is displayed in full browser mode.
Unfortunately, the site I'm working on needs to be displayed as full
browser. Is there any way to overcome this shift?
3. In addition to the previous notation the cube flashes as the script for
the cube initializes. Can this be reduced?
I'd really like to come to a conclusion and find out if this is the
appropriate solution for my client and would like to thank you before hand
for reading my post.
