Is there a way to have a selected area clickable, but only after a short movie has played?
I don’t want someone to click the screen in that selected area while the movie is playing and be taken away from the movie before it ends.

Hi Bob,
this is also related to your other request (text of the movie hidden) and I personal got the feeling, that tose movie files are outermost important - and nothing else.
So before any further recommends, could you describe a bit more, why those movies are so important?
I’m not sure - and this is all my personal opinion - but to count on one media as transporter of content, could be a self-shot in knee:
If a page is trying to control me and my behavior, I’m quicker off than you can spell “ICE”, cause this is making me fear (pretty much the same if a page is full of bling-bling animated stuff or even a bg-music looping and not to shut off).
The web is only one of several medias a company uses for their business. So it’s outermost important to make it a tool, that quickly informs about the basics, an animator to call and ask for more.
Proper set page-titles, page-description and a few keywords are sometimes more worth than thinking about work-arounds and pretty nice slight-of-hand ones …
… but please correct me if I’m wrong (and I’ll argue the converse if necessary) - I’m willing to learn more - day by day.
Cheers

Hi Thomas,
Good post, I like the questions you’re posing.
I’m working on a website (not online yet) where
I’m selling designs on top of coffee tables that
I created. These coffee tables are on the high end
of pricing, and I feel that to be able to sell something
that’s quite expensive online, I need to provide the
potential customer with an artistic experience
throughout my website. And the way that I’m doing
this is through small animations of imagery that relates
to the designs of the table. I don’t want to bore the visitor
with blocks of text that’s just sitting there. But I’m also aware not to have text flying around to give someone an eyeache…it’s on the minimal movement level.
So even though there’s not a whole lot of text, I still
have some of it in the animation. So I’m back to my original question - is it ok to use the copy that’s in the movie and use it again as real text on the same page as the movie, but not visible to the reader, so the search engines can do their thingy.
cheers too,
bob

I forgot add this second question:
Is there a way to have a selected area clickable, but only after a short movie has played? I don’t want someone to click the screen in that selected area while the movie is playing and be taken away from the movie before it ends.
do you know if this can be done?
thanks,

Well Bob,
sorry no idea about that. As I said - you expect something from a visitor what you probably can’t expect of them - patience.
The idea of additional text, I still recommend a good page description, a handful strong keywords, meaningful page-titles and last but not least semantic item-naming, much more value than anything else.
What you could do instead of additional divs with text content somewhere hidden is to draw a graphic-item whatever size close to your movie, name it something like teaser1-border oder movie1-description and add your movie-text into the Alt Text area of inspector (third tab).
Cheers

If I understand you correctly you want a link to display only after a certain amount of time has elapsed.
If that is correct you could use the transition fx action. Create a an html item, and apply the transition fx action to it.
Select the effect you would like, check initially hidden and set your delay time.
Here is an example, some text should appear 5 seconds after the page loads.

Hi Rich,
Yes that’s what I’m talking about. I just gave transition fx a try and it works just right. Thanks!
In the Action palate there’s a drop down menu called item, and it has some files from my resource files?
How can I get the action to be when someone clicks on the “appearing clickable box” they’re taken to a different page on my site?
Do you know what measurements of time the palatte is referring to with Duration and Delay?
Thanks,
bob

The list of items you see in the picker is all of the layered DIV elements on your page, those are the items that are eligible for being transitioned. You would name the element you want to have appear or fade using the Inspector, and then you could choose it in that picker.

If you nest a link of some sort (a graphic box or a text link) in that appearing box, then when the visitor clicks that link they will go wherever that link points.

Seconds, and they accept decimal values. 0.4 = 4/10 of a second, for example.
