Heh, thought it would be cool if you could have flash buttons with the theme of your group.

A flash button is a button where if you click it or if your cursor goes over it, it will animate.

Coding:

btn1\\
If cursor.top = btn1.top or
If cursor.left = btn1.left or
If cursor.top(x2) = btn1.top(x2) or
If cursor.left(x2) = btn1.top(x2) then
shockwavflh1.enabled = true
\shockwavflh1.loop = false\
\else\ ;
If rollover (cursor*btn1*//) then
^shockwavflh.loop if true^
--------
^tmr01- interval = 20^
End if
End chain *()*
End chain *^^*
End subroutine

Um, am I the only one who didn't get anything out of this? Am I stupid? Or was it just hard to understand?

Everything will be gone long before me. When the first living thing was born, I was here, waiting. When the last living thing dies, my job is finished. I'll put the chairs on the tables, turn out the lights and lock the universe behind me when I leave.

I am perplexed as well Killroy. But I think I might be getting it.
I think he/she mean this: If your cursor goes over it(a picture or something), it will animate.

They couldn't be custom ones, for the same reason we have no custom avies.

I'm pretty sure what he means is that it would be cool for group themes to have flash buttons. IE a button where, when you hover your cursor over it, the button animates.

Personally, I hate websites that require you to download a special plugin in order to view them. Even if it's as common a plugin as Flash. It's fine to have flash applications on the side, such as for minigames or the like, but to require it for navigation is crap. Just my opinion, of course.

Yea that gets very annoying...

What technology is used to create the same effect when I move my cursor over the big seventh column symbol on the right-hand side of the bottom nav-bar? If this isn't flash, maybe his post can be changed to include that type of coding instead of flash?

I've said it before, and I'll say it again. I know very little about how webpages are constructed, so if it sounds dumd, excuse my stupid.

[edit]Looks like simple HTML to me:
<!-- ------------------------------- Store Slideout ---------------------------------------- -->
<div id="bottomSlideOutStore" onmouseover="NavOpen('Store', 1)" onmouseout="NavClose('Store', 1)">

<div class="SlideoutBackground">
<table border="0" cellpadding="0" cellspacing="0" width="422">
<tr valign="top">
<td class="SlideoutStoreHomeBackground"><a href="http://www.bungiestore.com" target="_blank" class="SlideoutStoreHome"></a></td>
<td class="SlideoutStoreGamesBackground"><a href="http://www.bungiestore.com/productcart/pc/viewCat_ h.asp?idCategory=7" target="_blank" class="SlideoutStoreGames">T-Shirts</a>< ;/td>
<td class="SlideoutStoreWearablesBackground"><a href="http://www.bungiestore.com/productcart/pc/viewCat_ h.asp?idCategory=14" target="_blank" class="SlideoutStoreWearables">Multi-Media</a ></td>
<td class="SlideoutStoreMerchandiseBackground"><a href="http://www.bungiestore.com/productcart/pc/viewCat_ h.asp?idCategory=15" target="_blank" class="SlideoutStoreMerchandise">Accessories< /a></td>
<td align="right"><a href="http://www.bungiestore.com" target="_blank" class="SlideoutGamesMore"></a>
<span class="SlideoutText">Newest&nbsp;Item:</s pan>
<div class="SlideoutText1">

<a href="http://www.bungiestore.com" class="SlideoutText1" target="_blank"><span class="SlideoutLink">The entire&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;<b r>
store!&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;</ span></a></div></td>
</tr>
</table>
</div>
</div>
<!-- ------------------------------- End Slideout ---------------------------------------- -->


I don't know what "<div>" does though.

flash buttons can easily be copied with something like java. No flash required woohoo!

I use the code myself.

Posting the source you can see isn't going to help as there is a lot that happens server-side.

The navigation bar is no simple manner. It isn't flash, nor java. I believe the engineer that designed the navbar filed a patent for the technique, and I'm not kidding.

Needless to say, that means it's overly too complicated for implementation on the client level for custom group designs. Such implementation might not even be possible, given the server-side components.

I thought the source looked awfully short for a website this complicated!

I see. Thanks for answering my questions. That thing about the patent is pretty cool.

I do like the changing butons like the reply and submit. That makes it easier to tell when your cursor is over them. I'm not such a fan of sites with animations. Maybe that is because I remember what dialup bulletin boars are. The internet is evil because when you are 19 you are a geezer and think back to the good ole days.

I would just like to note this:

I HATE FLASH SITES!
You can't bookmark anything but the main site! the web browser "back" button does not relate to the flash pages! you can't get any images or videos used in the page! and they are pointless!

... thank you.
