February 10, 200619 yr So I want to put up a web page. Thing is I know next to nothing about what I need to accomplish this task. Here's what I had in mind... Try not to stunned by my talent. My question. Is there a way other than doing the whole thing in flash to have an animated logo that overlaps the main text? Edited February 10, 200619 yr by Weiser_Cain Yaw devs, Yaw!!! (
February 10, 200619 yr Ignore the doubnters. I say this webpage plan is awesome. "It wasn't lies. It was just... bull****"." -Elwood Blues tarna's dead; processing... complete. Disappointed by Universe. RIP Hades/Sand/etc. Here's hoping your next alt has a harp.
February 10, 200619 yr Java and XML are both capable of such, but it will likely require a cirtain amount of coding. (Approved by Fio, so feel free to use it)

February 10, 200619 yr 'overlaps the main text' is the issue here. (Approved by Fio, so feel free to use it)
February 11, 200619 yr You could do just the logo in Flash, or the top navbar/logo in Flash and just make it look like it's overlapping the main text area by making that part of the background match up. Unless you really want the logo over the actual html text... which doesn't make sense to me because you wouldn't be able to read it. Another way would be to make the logo an animated gif with a transparent background and put it on a different z axis/layer than the rest of the page. I haven't done this in ages, but I don't remember it being too difficult. edit: The only issue with this is that your page would have to be justified to the top left (and not just go to the middle of the browser) because when telling the layer where to be it is an absolute value. I think there are ways to make it always figure out the center of the browser, but it's a lot of code. Edited February 11, 200619 yr by krazikatt My baby girl arrived 6/16/06!
February 11, 200619 yr This should probably be over in Computer and Console. However, since we have infinitely more brain power in this forum than all the other combined, we'll hang on to it over here for a day for all the inspiration and insight before we turn it over to the geeks. Ruminations... When a man has no Future, the Present passes too quickly to be assimilated and only the static Past has value.
February 12, 200619 yr Layer + placing it with a small code should do the trick. However, with layers, when you forget to write that placing code (like layer should always open at bla bla pixel etc), things can go messy with higher or lower resolutions.
