A glorious romp through some of the miraculous stuff that can be done with ActionScript, <b>Levitate Tile</b>: http://www.levitated.net

Hi barn, this might just be me, but I swear that your signature file does something different when I view it on my Mac at home that when I am on my P.C. at work.??? Is this possible? It is v.cool btw:cool:

Hmmm. I was not aware there was any platform difference in the appearance of my sig, much less did I plan any such. I'll have to take a look at it on a Mac here.

It does sometimes take a while to load, and sometimes loads partway and stalls out for a moment.

I take it that the spotlight effect is on a movieClip which is dragable automatically? On my mac the mouse drags even when not on the signature, so if you have the mouse far enough away you see the whole thing with purple lines going crazy. I think (but I will check tomorrow) that when I was looking at it at work the spotlight was only draggable when the mouse is on the signature.

Yea, checked at work (win 98 ie6) the dragable spotlight works only when the mouse is on the signature (which is what I assume it is supposed to do). At home on Mac (os8.6 ie5) the spotlight is always draggable so you can completely reveal the whole sig.

Hope this helps you nail it down.:D

Yeah, I get this as well on my Mac at work. Never been able to pin it down to anything though. Plays havoc with some sigs, Slacker's in particular. You are able to make the helicopter fly upside down and backwards and the background can become very small! :(

On other's, like mine and FlashMove's it can add to the effect allowing the signature to interact with the mouse where ever it is. :D

Sigs utilising masking can look a bit different as the overall effect can sometimes be lost, but Barn's still manages to look kinda cool :)

Barn's sig is still the nuts *giggle, Slacker's is cool too:cool: If anyone can tell us why there is a cross platform difference it'll be barn ;)

The FlashForward Photo banner ad also plays havoc on a Mac. :o
The whole browser becomes clickable and you have to make sure of what link you are clicking otherwise you continuously get taken to the photos page, DOH! Hehehe. :D
