I found a website that I like the look of it.
it seems flash - but can we do it in FW? - well knowing some of the powers of FW the question is not can but how
At its simplest, this could just be some rollover images. If you keep
the angle change small enough, it will appear to be animated. I would
build the parts for this in Illustrator, and bring them into Photoshop
as Smart Objects, so they could be rotated without blurring pixels.
Then export two different states for each sign, bring them into
Freeway as the two states of a Rollover.
If you want the whole singing-and-dancing animation, you could do this
with CSS3 transforms, but only in Safari or Chrome (and maybe Firefox
3.6), no other browsers support that standard yet. With that method,
you’d only need one image, since you would be moving it with CSS not
by replacing the image with another. Tim Plumb (as expected) has
written an Action to apply that in Freeway without coding. http://www.actionsforge.com/actions/view/152-css3-rollover

Thank you…
That makes sense for the sign. and have it as a hover so that it rollover to the other? but then you would be able to click it to get to where you want to go…
what singing and dancing? I was just talking the cutout looks of the flowers / grass dirt background

All I meant by singing and dancing was that there are real transitions
happening in the Flash. If you roll over the sign elements, they don’t
just snap from one angle to the other, they ease from one state to
the other.
And yes, you can link a rollover to another page, that’s pretty
standard.

hi all,
i’m actually working on a website for a restaurant and would like to use the css3 rollover action to present an amount of pictures.
trying out the nice effect, i realized that only safari and chrome is able to display it correctly. (checked with ie 8+9, firefox 15.0.1)
looking to the dates of the postings above, i wonder if somebody knows a timeline, when we could expect the full implementation of the css3 features to the common browsers, it is worth waiting or should one better look for other ways to realize the animation?
or was it my mistake and everything works fine in the meantime?
The nice thing about a CSS3 effect is that it falls back pretty gracefully to IE < 10. If the effect is set to transition smoothly between two states, it will jump immediately instead, but it will still transition. That’s a huge win over the usual fallback of not even displaying (what you get with Flash on iOS).

IE10? But Windoze users are notoriously slow to upgrade Browsers - if they even can.
So if it is mission critical then at least provide a fall back for older IE users.
