Thank you for downloading: Carousel

Included are:

• Flash 8 Flash File

Font(s) used:

• Change fonts as you wish

How to modify the file:

1. Instruction 1: Make your items which you want to add to carousel in library, and set linkage for each item
   
   
2. Instruction 2: Change tooltip to your need, linkage must be 'tooltip'
   
   
3. Instruction 3: Items and Tooltip movieclip can be animated on onRollovers. Look in movieclips how it is done, but it is simple. Make 2 frame labels "rollover" <= start frame of animation onRollOver, and "rollout" <= start frame of onRollOut animation. You can animate each item in different way, as it is showed in example.
   
   
4. Instruction 4: And edit XML to fit your needs. There are 2 parts: Settings and Item list.
   Here are description:
   
   • position x="450" y="200"
   => position of carousel, you can centre it on screen
   • radius value="140"
   => radius of carousel
   • height_ratio value="0.06"
   => you can set ratio for height of carousel, with ratio 1 you will see full circle, with ratio almost 0, you will see carousel from front. Just try few settings and it will be clear.
   • loadingMethod method="attachMovie"
   => only attachMethod implemented, just for future use
   • shadows use="true" diff="50" color="0xff0000" fadeFromPercentage="100"
   => use can switch on/off shadows, height about surface (diff) and look of shadows. Try experiment.
   • blur use="true" fov="0.1" max="50"
   => use can switch on/off blur, it's maximum value, andjustify size of blur with for constant.
   • speed max="6" stopSpeedRange="0.18" accelaration="0.1"
   => speed settings, max speed is on the edges of the movie, in centre you can adjust area where speed is 0 with stopSpeedRange constant (it's percentage of max speed,if speed is less it is set to 0), acceleration if used for smooth changing speed
   • fov value="1" zscale="40"
   => constant for calculating Z position, experiment with it to set your type of perspective
   • refresh ms="40"
   => how often is called function for rotating carousel. You can adjust perfomance by tweaking this value, it's in miliseconds...
   • interactive value="true"
   if interactive is true, then you can adjust speed of carousel with your mouse, otherwise is rotated with max speed from speed settings
   
   
   And items list

   	<clip id="img1" url="http://flashden.net" target="_blank" rolloversTime="10">
   			<headline text="FlashDen.net"/>
   			<text text="Download.Upload.Play"/>
   	</clip>
   	

   • id => linkage of item in library
   • url => URL of page which will be opened after click on the item
   • target => where it will be opened
   • rolloversTime => how much time (in miliseconds) must be pass to show next RollOver for this item. It is used for tweaking repeteadly rollovers when changing MovieClip's scale, or just if you dont want to display rollover effect too often
   • headline, text => all tags which are inside CLIP are textfields in tooltip, so it is up to you ifwill have 1, 2, 3 or more textfields in your tooltip. Just name tag as textfields are named in tooltip. Look into Tooltip movieclip in library to know how to do it.

Good Luck with Carousel!
