Today marked the launch of a new website for Minooka Bible Church, http://www.minookabible.org/. This was the cultivation of several months of planning, meetings, content collection, design and programming. MBC’s previous website, developed by Sators.com, had not been given an overhaul since its’ release in 2002, therefore making it long overdue for a revision. (more…)
Dang it. It’s been over a month since I blogged. Guilty as charged. My soul intention is to keep writing ever other day or so, but isn’t it amazing how quickly priorities can change and all of a sudden five other things come up and blogging gets pushed to the back burner. Sad because I really do enjoy writing my thoughts out (Jamie is really good at that and inspires me to work on it more). (more…)
This one’s for the tech nerds. I recently upgraded to Adobe Creative Suite CS3 Web Design and absolutely love it. I’ve been trucking along through all the programs until I get to Flash CS3. I design a little nav creation as I have done so many times in the past until I go to start Actionscripting. Whoa - actions can’t be applied to objects?! Have to add listener events and all this new standards compliant stuff. I’m all for standards, but this threw me for a curve. I’m still stuck at trying to figure out how to pass variables to functions called by listener events…as soon as I can figure out how to do that, I think I’ll be back on course.
Anybody got any ideas? Below is my actionscript. I have a list of movieclips that I want to jump around the object’s timelines based on hover triggers from another button. I basically want to pass into the function which object I want to send to “in” and “out” frames and thus save lots of redundant programming…
import flash.events.MouseEvent;
function hoverIn(event:MouseEvent):void{ home.gotoAndPlay(”in”)}
function hoverOut(event:MouseEvent):void{ home.gotoAndPlay(”out”)}
home_btn.addEventListener(MouseEvent.MOUSE_OVER, hoverIn);
home_btn.addEventListener(MouseEvent.MOUSE_OUT, hoverOut);
It’s coming time for a new design for Sators.com and I’ve got a lot of ideas floating through my head. Below is one concept I put together…
Being 25 years old now has had me thinking the past few weeks of putting together some 5 year goals for myself, Jamie and I, Sators.com, etc. A lot of them come to me randomly throughout the day and I haven’t really written them down at all…so we’re going to see how well they can all come to me sitting here right now:
Maybe some more will come to mind and I’ll edit this post later on. Shoot - best of luck to myself in being able to find this list 5 years from now. If I’m reading this paragraph in the year 2012, great job me in your internet searching skills!
