picture links (and flash infoboxes)

Okay, looking great!!

Let's see what we can do in the form of tweaks. I'll refer to your version 3.1 - As always, take your time. I really do appreciate the time you've been taking with this.

1) Let's shade the "i" to a green shade, I think that will contrast nicer with our color scheme.

2) Once the "i" is clicked, I'd like a very small non-annoying 'tick' sound for moving through the 2-3 pages contained in the animation. I have some very cool sounds, that are 1-2k in filesize that are very tech sounding.

3) When cursor hovers over the arrow to procede to another page, can the background fill color of the circle change to a new contrasting color?

4) Extend the height of the animation by 100%, but keep the width.

5) Each area should have it's own page, since you have to allow for people to have alot in that field (ie: Interests, Location (some long winded russian city, etc)

Anyone agree/disagree with anything I've mentioned above? .

let's see...

1) yes

2) yes

3) yes

4) yes

5) yes

.

i was planning on sounds anyway, go ahead and icq them to me or e-mail or something.

i wanted to keep it short (height-wise) so small posts wouldn't be unneccessarily stretched vertically, but size change is easy. i agree that space must be left for interests for people less concise than myself.

i still don't know how you'll work this into the pages... i haven't found anything on working in multiple copies of the same flashimation with different variables, but i'll keep looking and maybe you already know and my quest will be pointless like so many of my quests.

big bio test friday, so maybe saturday these'll be done .

Just a quick note to let you know I'm loving what you've done, MJ!

This'll truly rock when it's done!

Hmm, I'm not sure either, but I hope we can work something out. Otherwise, maybe another idea can be considered sometime. Something without multiple calls.

I'd give MoJ karma at the point, but that's kinda hard....

got the sounds .

i found out a way to work it into the pages - it involves body onload commands for each variable and each animation - cumbersome, yet effective. we'll discuss.

also i was thinking a javascript call to the generic flash insert code with js variables for animation name and other stuff would save space in the html code - efficiency is my forté .

anyway, it looks workable now, at least.

too busy to work on it tonight, tomorrow looks good

I don't have the slightest clue what you're on about, but it sounds cool.

Yes, efficiency is always welcome. .

Sounds great.

i incorporated a few of the suggestions, let me know how it looks so far.

making it taller is going to take a little longer, but is still doable as long as you want it. (when i say a little longer, i mean i'll need to spend about a half hour on it... but not tonight.) adding pages of info will be easy, once it gets to that point.

i just realized that the i button clicks on mouseover - that's an accident, so there's no reason to request its removal. mouseover clicks are cool, but they get irritating when there's fifteen of them on a page and you can't move your mouse without hearing a click. anyway, i did that by accident.

version 4.0 is up - i just started over because it's hard to change sizes with existing boxes and stuff. but it wasn't too hard, and i changed the forwards/backwards buttons to be much better. sometimes starting over gives the best results.

alien: i replaced the numerous repetitive cases of flash html code with a simple javascript function that gets called whenever a flash animation is to be inserted. take a look at the code to see what i mean

nap&gt; or is it a 3.14159265358979323846264338327950288 out of 2.718281828? (pi out of e, i know more pi digits than e .)

Ok mj. The fact that you have those numbers memorized is bad. As for your work . . . why go to college just become a web designer now. Nice job.
