Flash website , IKEA

I have been watching IKEA’s online advertising , and to be honest , they always come up with the best flash video & user interaction .

have a look yourself .

Zainals.com re-built ..

In a desperate try to change the way i design websites i had the guts this time to use brighter colors rather than dark colors like you have seen before and im really impressed with the final render . I got out of the boxy model websites .
The good thing now is that i can integrate PHP & MYSQL into my designs to create Dynamic sites like the news and the portfolio , the layout is a liquid design or so called full flash browser that resizes some of the content and centers the main content in the middle depending on user resolution …
oh ya …You have to listen to that track on my website now it ROCKS !

www.zainals.com

Like Moe ( Munther ) said , i like your designs but they are all dark , so thanks moe that got me started a new design era =] …

Zainals lite , My new site …

Done a quick mockup and i ended up here http://www.zainals.com/ .
Tell moi what ya think

i need to change some of wot i wrote in the main or home page … later probably

Play youtube videos in flash tutorial

Like i promised many of you , here is a quick video tutorial on how to load youtube videos in flash , the only thing is im running out of time and i have many other projects to deal with so its a kinda fast so Listen and watch carefully , if you have a question regarding the tutorial you can always post a comment .

Things to remember :

• AbdulQabiz youtube php engine that is downloadable with the example sourcecode ( Many thanks to him ) .
• Dont forget to get your own developer ID since all the rest requests requiers the dev id e.g:
  http://www.youtube.com/api2_rest?method=youtube.users.get_profile&dev_id=YOUR_DEV_ID
NOTE THAT YOU WONT NEED A DEV_ID IF YOU WILL MANUALLY ADD THE YOUTUBE VID LINKS .
• Read the INTRODUCTION and the DOCUMENTATION .

Things to consider :
The application i built at http://www.zainals.com/xperments/youtube is reading the XML file from youtube , now i didnt explain much about that because its a different topic but if you would like , i can make another video about xml when im free , but for the time being google it , you can find many tutorials at kirupa gotoandlearn.com and tutorialvid.com

Unfortunatly youtube disabled or changed their crossdomain xml file as mentioned on abdulqabiz blog , and will have to use some sort of a proxy script e.g :

<?php
$dataURL = "http://www.youtube.com/api2_rest?method=youtube.videos.list_featured&dev_id=YOURDIV_ID";
//note that this will not follow redirects
readfile($dataURL);
?>

Enjoy the following vid … Enlarge the vid for a clearer preview …

OK … I need testers !

i need you people to test the demo application running live on my server …

http://www.zainals.com/final_project/

click on register ( not the bottom one ) , after registering , click on login> Upload your images … thats it , an email should be sent to you when registering with a link to your gallery ..

e.g , you register under the name xyz then the path to your gallery is http://www.zainals.com/final_project/xyz .

NOTE : the site might take time to load , preloader still not added … so be patient

Flash gallery experiment …

this is a part of my final project which im about to finish , the project name is ” The Gallery ” .

The project is based on flash interface front end , php mysql backend , it allows users to register > creates a link for their own gallery , the user then can upload jpegs which gets resized depending on the size of the picture , then saves em into the Database .

Features also includes user CP ( upload & Delete images ) , Admin CP ( Approve new uploaded images )

Click on the image to view the gallery , it still needs some tweaks ( and do not start annoying me about the weightlifter )

FlashBelt event

Yep , another interesting event that i cant attend because its far away in the united states …
i would love to attend but i cant , i already missed flash forward , flash beach , and now this … http://www.flashbelt.com/

The session/topics they are covering are interesting , MYSQL + FLASH , FLASH CS3 VID  ,SURFING FROM AS2 to AS3 , its enough that Joey Lott will be one of the speakers …
