Merry Christmas from Scriptic December 26th, 2010
Backward Santa
Hello all, a day late I know but here’s my Christmas Post. After a hellish journey involving 40 odd hours on a variety of Coaches, Trains, Cars and Boats I finally arrived in Chelm, Poland yesterday at around 5. Just in time for Christmas dinner – and after all that I didn’t even get a white Christmas – which I was under the impression I was gauranteed of when I’m practically in Siberia. Never mind.
Anyway, since I haven’t done any post worthy work of late I’ve been digging through the archives once again and found this Christmassy game which I made as an e-christmas card for an agency I was working for some years ago (hence the branding).
This is so old I havent bothered posting the source files – I have no idea what version of Flash it was built in but it’s certainly AS1 – if you want them, however, just let me know.
Anyway – once again have a very Merry Christmas and a Happy New Year!
Flash dynamic page titles December 15th, 2009
Here’s something I knocked up for a client to keep intranet page titles in the corporate font. It’s a simple bit of Flash and AS3 embedded with some javascript. The Flash file has the relevant font embedded in a dynamic text field and the javascript passes colour and size and the word or sentence as Flashvars to render. Below is an example in Christmasy red Helvetica Neue.
The script also incorporates the AC_OETags javascript from the Adobe Flash player detection kit to replace the SWF with the specified text rendered as normal HTML if flash is not present on the users system. Download the source files and have a play.
Christmas Javascript snow December 11th, 2009
Since I’m launching this blog during the Christmas month it seems fitting to kick it off with something festive so here’s some Javascript snow. A client wanted a snow effect on one of their pages but I struggled to find anything ready made that was remotely cross browser. So I decided to have a crack at making one myself… here’s how it looks: toggle snow. It has a few optional settings like colour, size, and the font and character to use for the snow – why not download it and have a play.
I’d like to think that this is a work in progress so maybe a new version will pop up at some point but in the meantime stay tuned for the next exciting episode of SCRIPTIC!
