Flash Sliding Billboard Ad 2

Tyler — Fri, 05 Mar 2010 15:46:11 +0000

This is my second tutorial on Flash Sliding Billboard Ads. This is a more new and improved way than the first tutorial I did. The code is less and works much smoother. Also, a new feature was added allowing an option for the ad to expand open on browser load and then after a few seconds it will return to the smaller position.

Note: 05/06/2010 – I have updated the javascript with a cookie for the preview function. This way the ad will only expand/preview once on page load until the cookie time expires.

Flash Sliding Billboard Ad

Tyler — Sun, 14 Feb 2010 04:30:39 +0000

In this video tutorial I go over how to create a Flash Sliding Billboard Ad that pushes the content of the page down when it expands. When I started working on this I couldn’t find any information out on the web for it, so I modified some JavaScript that we were currently using which only supported static images at the time. I worked out all the bugs and got it working for flash. So, I wanted to help other Designers out there who were looking as I was and came up empty handed. You will find the source files for this tutorial below!

Updating Browsers

Now…… I’m a HUGE fan of “FireFox” when it comes to browsers, but being a web/designer I have to test my work in multiple ones. The one that gives me the most problems is Internet Explorer 6. There is always a variation in how it deals with CSS than the other browsers, as well as how it views “.png” images. Unfortunately, there are still a TON, I mean a TON of people out there who haven’t made the update to IE7. For crying out loud people, they have version “8″ out now so make the UPGRADE! LOL!

I’m not sure why this is such a hard thing to do for most of these people. If you insist on using IE, then it’s an absolute must to at least upgrade to version 7. This way you will make sure that you are viewing viewing everything as it should be. However, if you are willing to try another browser then I absolutely recommend FireFox! The web industry is constantly changing and we are doing a lot of AMAZING things. Unfortunately, a lot of these new additions don’t work well with older browsers.

So, my point…. If you are going to be online and surfing around, then at least keep up to date on your browser versions and Happy Surfing!!
