EXPANDING FULL SCREEN NEWS VIEWER

This Full Screen News Viewer is a great addition to any flash website. It hides away as a tab on the left side of the screen when you’re not viewing it, but expands to fill the width of the screen which you click on the tab! It resizes when the browser window is resized.

It has many features such as being updated by an XML file, so the text and images are loaded from external files which makes it easy to update!

Your news items can have unlimited length (scroll arrows appear when the item it too long).

Each news item has it’s own image (jpg or swf). These can link to an external file, or if you leave the url field blank in the xml file they won’t have a link. Images have a preloader animation and percentage.

This news viewer has built in CSS hover styles. So you can include HTML in your news items and links which automatically have styles applied to them. You can easily change the colour in the flash file.

Just put your flash website into the movieclip in the middle and it will auto-centre when the browser window is resized!

Hello,

Very fine script, but I’ve a problem. Is it possible to use a link with a frame ? I tried with: target=”xxxx” but without success…..

Yours faithfully

Nizerot, open the flash file and on line 221 of the actionscript you’ll find:

item_mc.imgHolder.onRelease = function() {
    getURL(this.myUrl, "_blank");
};

just replace the “_blank” with your frame name.

Hello Nellie,

just have one question, i’ve donne some small changes in your file to customize it, but i still need to do one more, is it possible to have in the scroll function at the middle a blank space, i mean not moving if the mouse is over the middle moveclip? or have like a pixel size in the middle… i hope you understand my question, and that it could be done!

really nice file!

thanks in advance

Alex, on line 31 of the actionscript, change:
if (mouseX<=midX && clipX<=minX) {
    diff = (midX-mouseX)/speed;
    myClip._x = clipX+diff;

} else if (mouseX>=midX && clipX>=-maxX) {
    diff = (mouseX-midX)/speed;
    myClip._x = clipX-diff;
}

to:

if (mouseX<=(midX-100) && clipX<=minX) {
    diff = (midX-mouseX)/speed;
    myClip._x = clipX+diff;

} else if (mouseX>=(midX+100) && clipX>=-maxX) {
    diff = (mouseX-midX)/speed;
    myClip._x = clipX-diff;
}

You can replace the “100” with whatever value you like to increase or decrease the non-scrolling space in the middle.

Great concept. I’d love to see more stuff like this. More creativity is needed on flashden. I’ve bookmarked this for a later date. Really nice work :)
