The latest DHTML Web Video & Images developments and directions
You are currently browsing the monthly archive for May 2009.
When developing this: DHTML Popup PHP/MySQL images database we wanted a way to indicate that the image was loading (being pulled from the database and downloading to the browser), a very common request.
We only wanted something simple, no graphics going round and round or anything like that, just “Loading…” with the dots cycling from 1-3 while waiting for the image.
The latest version of the The Transparent Flash Player will be available shortly. Integrated with the modal and exit methods, it is now far easier to use the powerful script that controls the movements of the player in the page and its triggering of other videos.
Announcing the imminent release of a new product ADV-Direct, a purely script & template driven plug & play product for immediate deployment of dhtml based content in your pages.
With one line of script placed in the header the user can then add content via single line calls to the script which contain all common parameters for each of the templates. Advanced configuration can be modified via a simple config file.
Currently templates exist for YouTube, The Transparent Player & Generic (user controlled) content. Methods available are scrolling, modal (lightbox)
effect, on-exit, 9 different locations in the page & more. Multiple layers with different kinds of content can simultaneously co-exist.
This product, begun originally as something for the Macintosh users but available to anyone as a lightweight yet powerful addition
to ADP, will revolutionize the way in which users can add content to web pages. It will be the focus of a strong development drive over
the next few months.
