Doc,
just a quick question on the java code to do a fade from one image to another. As shown on your simple java rollover tutorial @ the top of the page. the orange buttons do a slow animate. However, the tutorialis just a regular rollover. any tips? thanks.
respectfully,
the ART<P>Greyhawke

That's a lot more complex. If you look in the code, you'll see the setTimeout function, with 3 images listed. When you mouseover the image, it flips to one image for a few milliseconds, then to the 3rd image, then back to the second, then back to the first. Doc did a bang-up job with the images, and a really creative script, so the animation is really smooth. <P>You'll also notice this in the code:<P><!--DocOzone's Javascript code, copyright 1998

http://www.ozones.com/flourish.html <P>The flourish page is the simplest version of this, I created this page with just one animated donut for folks to get the idea from. Check it out, it's a real simple script, and quite easy to figure out.<P>

Yeah, I was pretty impressed when I first figured out what you were doing there Doc -- I've been planning on using that script for a while now, but haven't come up with anything to use it on just yet.<P>

DOC,
thanks alot, I appreciate the tutorial and the scripts. If you get a chance check out my web page, http://www.tangleddreams.com
The flash stuff was built in about two weeks(kinda shows) becuase I was preparing hastily for a school competition. I didn't win, se la vi, no biggie it was fun to do. So now I plan on using more java script and reworking it. I'm already working on the storyboards for better continuity. Thanks for your time, and K-no-ledge, much appreciated. If you have any pointers for my site fire 'em off to me. I value your opinion.
Respectfully,
the ART<P>Greyhawke

Cool! I liked the flash movie, but I have ISDN, heh. The "loading" movie was kind of boring, it swapped fast enough to make me think of <blink>ing type, yow! I think if you're going to use flash, a whole bunch of time should go into your loading movie, if tyou leave out the sound, they can be teeny-tiny. Nice work, I enjoyed it!<P>

If no one minds me going off the subject for a while, but how is it that all these people that submit their sites for review manage to have full domain names? I mean is there are free domain name server out there or something? It really gets my goat (baaaaah!) that I am stuck at geoexcrements and all these other people have domain names!!!<P><P>

Hey ya'll, I'm curious... going back to the original topic, is it more efficient to use the timeouts with many images or just use an animated gif in the rollover?<P>-------------

I try not to combine animated gifs and javascript; it causes problems, and also, IE and NN time animated gifs differently.

Well, with netscape as soon as you click it triggers the "stop animations" thingy, and that's that for animations. <P>I like javascript animations because they can be programmed to be a lot less predictable. A simple loop on an animation will drive most folk buggy, producing epileptic fits on some! A javascript animation can be timed to loop on a random interval, much nicer on the brain.<P>
