Another in my series of dynamic Swishmax offerings, MiniMax 1 is a lightweight website/content management interface made with Swishmax and exported as a Flash movie. It allows admins to target sprites (4 in this version) to load Flash movies or JPG images, place them anywhere, stretch or contract them and apply alpha states as well. It also uses dynamic text windows (5 in this version) that let you decide the width/height, X/Y, create the text content, apply text color, window backgrounds and alpha states for both the windows background color as well as the entire text sprite itself. It uses a unique static background that has the entire interface scroll and the background can be JPG or SWF with alpha states applied as well. It includes an Admin panel that allows you to make changes fast and it can be run locally as a SWF or EXE or right from your webserver. The admin interface writes the backside configuration file using your entered values and the movie itself loads them right in. The interface uses 1 movie and 2 php files which require NO EDITING. There are an infinite amount of layout possibilities with this interface so experimenting is the key to success! I am even going to setup the default configuration to load objects from my website until you replace them with yours so you can see how the interface is very easy to target with your content. MiniMax1 is just a light hearted example of dynamically controlled objects in a flash environment. It is meant more as a learning aide than anything else. MiniMax 2 is more suited for actual serving. Version 2 will be submitted in a few days and it expands on version 1 with multiple pages, dynamically created text fields amd much much more...all controlled via the admin interface. Stop by and grab version one! Registrations are not required to download at my website. Enjoy! |
