Dis is my first battle as a host and a participant,altho my entry sucks.I will b really disappointed if my battle also goes down as one of the worst :(

Thanx anyway :)

[Jasninder]

Howmuch extention u guys need? if others agree tht after this extn they ll also submit their entries. Sure,why not.But will Mods allow that?

[Jasninder]

[liam]

[pom]

I'm done. Not much, mainly actionscripted, and bugged as hell :P



It looks very small on my comp, no idea why. Here it is again:

Concerning the time extension, I agree to give you one or 2 days more, but that's all. It's still a battle :)

If you import the Arial font in your library, you'll get my menu with this code (piggy style, sorry :beam: ) :
sections=["me","portfolio","works","contact"];
subSections=[["Myself","and I"],["First","Second","Third"],["smth","else","than","this"],["mail","address","fax"]];

k = .2;
damp = .9;

function fadeOut (cli){
this._alpha /= 2;
if (this._alpha < 2) this.removeMovieClip();
}
MovieClip.prototype.springTo = function (){
var dx = this.targ_x - this._x ;
var dy = this.targ_y - this._y ;
this.vx += k*dx ;
this.vy += k*dy ;
this.vx *= damp ;
this.vy *= damp ;
this._x += this.vx ;
this._y += this.vy ;
}

function createButton(clip,texte,size,dep){
var cl = clip.createEmptyMovieClip("but"+dep,dep);
cl.createTextField("section",0,0,0,80,20);
var tf = new TextFormat();
tf.font = "Arial";
tf.size = size;
tf.selectable = false;
tf.color = "0xff0000";
cl.section.text = texte;
cl.section.embedFonts = true;
cl.section.setTextFormat(tf);
var c = cl.createEmptyMovieClip("but",1);
c.beginFill(0,0);
c.lineTo(cl.section.textWidth,0);
c.lineTo(cl.section.textWidth,cl.section.textHeigh t);
c.lineTo(0,cl.section.textHeight);
c.endFill();
c.ind = dep;
c.onPress = function(){
a = subClip.length;
if (a > 0)
for (f in subClip) subClip[f].onEnterFrame = fadeOut;
var q = subSections[this.ind].length;
var radius = 75;
subClip = [];
for (var p = 0; p<q ; p++){
var b = createButton (this._parent,subSections[this.ind][p],15,p+10);
var ang = 2 * Math.PI * p / q ;
b.targ_x = this._parent._width/4 + radius * Math.cos(ang) ;
b.targ_y = radius * Math.sin(ang) ;
container.targ_x = Stage.width/2 - this._parent._x;
container.targ_y = Stage.height/2 - this._parent._y;
subClip.push(b);
}
}
cl.onEnterFrame = springTo;
return cl;
}

this.createEmptyMovieClip("container",0);
container._x = Stage.width/2;
container._y = Stage.height/2;
n = sections.length;
radius = 100;
for (var p = 0; p<n ; p++){
var b = createButton (container,sections[p],20,p);
var ang = 2 * Math.PI * p / n ;
b.targ_x = radius * Math.cos(ang) ;
b.targ_y = radius * Math.sin(ang) ;
}

container.targ_x = Stage.width/2 ;
container.targ_y = Stage.height/2 ;
container.onEnterFrame = springTo ;

E.T...... phone....... home.......

[Jasninder]

Great work Man, this is beautiful.Way better than mine, then again i lost it to action scripting:( hehehehe
thanx man, but I m confused bout our battle, is anyone else even interested in sending some entries?

[vdesigns]

i have almos completed ....but a time limit is a time limit
this is not a competition .... this is to know ones capabiliteies and to help the newbies....
so lets upload

[Jasninder]

ya sure m8, lets go ahead wid the uploading.Lets not make it a total flop hehehe, just kiddin...

[Jasninder]

oh well :( a complete flop

ilyaslamasse please delete this one, it's embarrassing inspite of urs and mine efforts.

[vdesigns]

nothing is a flop.....atleast 2 of you showed up, I am with u guys ..not a great flasher but will put it up soon


the menus look great
ilyaslamasse .....explain the code will help

[vdesigns]

flasher your menu was excelent but was it just action script as ilyaslamasse or is it animation or both.....

[Jasninder]

mine is a mixture of both,or is it...... i ll call it a logical use of general actions. I ll send u the fla, i hope u learn few things from it.There comes a stage in wich i m rite now, u get clients, u have ppl working for u, but there's something missin, tht's how i feel
about missing out on AS. I dont get to use much of it in the work
(i m talking bout highend stuff, u kno) But as a learner u shud really do it hardcore, who knows u mite need it...... u kno

Moreover being an indian,just like me u ll understand n agree tht "when money start talkin,mind stop listenin" hahahah =)
