Just in for the holidays – a new LightBox JS implementation for Flash (with a Flash 10 3d Twist). Here’s a quickie example made with Flex just to see what I’m on about. The main drawback seems to be the new Flash Player 10 3d features tend to blur the edges of the picture’s frame. Not entirely sure why that is, but If anyone can explain, please let me know and I’ll do what I can to fix it up. If interested, the script is below. It requires TweenLite and the Tweener equations for the animation (I like to mix and match), though you’re welcome to rewrite it for another tweening engine. The main FlashBox class: [crayon-61743deb49f80291429139/] And, while you can use any little graphic preloader you’d like, I used the one below: [crayon-61743deb49f8c488230732/] Unfortunately, to get the OBO_FlashBox class to play nicely with Flex, you need to create a little Flex “bridge” that extends UIComponent like so: [crayon-61743deb49f94622793553/] And finally, the mxml for the example shown: [crayon-61743deb49f99802915813/] Hope it may be useful. Enjoy…
