Mechanical Futuristic Preloader

Tuesday, December 22nd, 2009

I have added another item to my ActiveDen Portfolio, it is a Mechanical Futuristic Preloader. It is really easy to use, just drag and drop the movieclip into your flash file. A version for both AS2 and AS3 are included, and there is a special variable that allows the user to display it for a certain amount of time before loading the content. Also it allows the user to control how many times the parts of the movieclip to rotate. If it doesn’t look very smooth its because my flash file in the header of the page is a memory hog, you can go to the activeDen page to see it run as it should.

Flash Cracking Background Animation

Monday, December 21st, 2009

I have added a background animation to my ActiveDen Portfolio, It is an animation of Cracks or a Cracking Background. It can be used with a logo really easily or any website backgroud. It is really easy to use, and I made in all vector graphics so it is scalable. I used it on one of my old sites that I created, Lookatmept.com, but he wanted to change to a full html site instead of having Flash on it, So I thought I might as well sell it.

Hexagon Preloader Added to ActiveDen

Monday, November 9th, 2009

I have created another preloader and added it to ActiveDen for sale. ActiveDen, which use to be called FlashDen, is the website where I sell my stock Flash files that I create. It is a hexagon preloader and there are two versions included in the file when you buy it, an AS 2.0 and AS 3.0 version. Both are really easy to use, just drag and drop them into your file and change a single line and then they are done. You can change the color of everything including the glows really easily as well. Also, the preloader continues to loop the animation until the content of the website is finished loading, and then fades away. Click the preview image below to see the file in action.
