How do you make things go out of the screen?

[LB]

You know those (annoying, but cool) adverts that, in the page code, are set to a certian size, but can actually draw to areas outside the flash player obejct area, even with alpha-channel backgrounds to fade to the page? I want to know how to do this in MMF2, as it would look really cool in games. I tried some stuff but none of it worked. :\

I don't think it's something that MMF's flash exporter supports.

I don't even know how they do it in flash, to be honest.

Do you mean like a drop shadow LB?

That's done with some fancy CSS + HTML

Drop Shadow?? I'm talking about those adverts that, while you're reading, they scroll down/over from where they are and get in your way.

[Dynasoft]

The really annoying ones that expand as you're moving your mouse over them (even if you don't stop over them) and then get in the way of the thing you were actually moving your mouse to.

I am interested in what you game idea is, but I don't think you'll be able to do it in MMF.

I've seen one like this before, on subsoap.com they have/had a page curl thing in the corner that would expand when moused over.

it looks to be like a combination of JavaScript and flash though. JavaScript to expand the size of the swf on the page.

I don't think you could do transparency though. Maybe fake it if
you match what's behind the swf exactly.

You would need to call some Javascript to do this, but you could do that through the action in the Flash Player object - it might be worth trying out.

No, no, I have even put just the flash in a page by it's self, nothign else, and it gets the same result.

What is this responding to?

Oh yeah, I'm sorry about my reply - all I took in was "even with alpha-channel backgrounds to fade to the page?"
