I’ve made another website!
Some of the more interesting features of semblancesolutions.com are:
Normal
Mobile
MechJeff.com
My cousin Jeff needed a site to show off his cool craft creations, so I made him one! If you happen to need a skilled welder, and fabricator and mechanic to build anything you can imagine for your home or business, he’s the man to contact.
I’ve made a simple slide show in flash to work with the pods plugin for wordpress. In principle, you can use the slide show in any situation, because it uses a ‘magic’ string to get the images, links etc it needs to load.
The compiled .swf is just under 4kB and uses a config_slideshow.txt file to get itself started.
The slideshow.swf looks for config_slideshow.txt in the same directory (as itself) and loads some configuration variables from it. (Don’t rename slideshow.swf or config_slideshow.txt.) The config_slideshow.txt will look like this:
The format for the magic string the slideshow will read is:
etc…
You can see the magic string uses carrots “^” and “#<br>” to break into usable data. The order of the elements in the magic strings is important, but you may leave an element blank if you like: “^^”
Here is an example with intentional missing images to show how errors are handled:
Here are the files:
Flash slideshow files and source
Still to do:
back/forward buttons. + configure in config_slideshow.txt file.
Fullscreen button. + on/off in config_slideshow.txt file.
Play music .mp3 or midi with the slideshow. +config_slideshow.txt file controlled.
I made a simple wordpress site for a friend: floralsunshine.com
She was delighted with the way it came out, even though I was rushed into completing most of it in one day!
Oh boy I am so excited.
Let me see here… How is this supposed to work…
