WINAMP SKIN

funktion v2

I made this skin for my own use (don't we all say that?), but i thought i'd post it on winamp.com anyway to see what kind of reaction it would get. It would up on the homepage and the main skins page for 3 weeks in which time it racked up over 200,000 downloads. I guess the kids liked it. This is actually version 2 in which I included nine different color themes and fixed a few bugs. Give it a try. You may just use it forever.

Get the skin here. Get winamp.

TUTORIALS:

decreasing speed scroller

this is your basic mouse-tracking scroller, but rather than follow the mouse pixel for pixel, it slides smoothly to a stop. quite a nice, nuanced effect. download it and check it out... it takes surprisingly little code to make this thing work quite nicely!

dropdown list

i don't even know that i should call this file a tutorial-- it's more of a pre-packaged, functioning entity. the dropdown list "smart clip" that comes built into Flash is more trouble than it's worth. the code involved is more convoluted than Dreamweaver's rollover javascript. (in other words, there's a lot of unnecessary _stuff_ in there.) you can copy/paste this dropdown list right into your flash movie and, as long as you put one variable on your _root timeline, everything with work like a charm! the code is all very well commented, though, for those of you that want to look into how it works and not just abuse me for my generousity.

decreasing speed slider

no time to write a txt file explaining this one now, but if you open it up and take a look you very well might be able to make sense of it!

slider

this is a very easy to understand horizontal scroll tutorial for flash 5. it can be modified for scrollable text or any other content.

mouse tracker

this is an equally easy to follow tutorial on making objects scroll vertically based on mouse position (using an invisible movieclip)

GAMES:

There's also the car game, based on the game "Rush Hour" by Binary Arts. This is a great game that's much more difficult than it looks at first.
