Hi everyone, I need a flash video/player to put on my site homepage as catchup ad. I attached a screenshot of the required flash video/player below. Perhaps I may substitute that with a block of famous soccer players images fading in/out in an attractive way - Feel free to use your design imaginations to give something impressive Size has to be 380x260 either ways (flash or scrolling images block). Hopefully, the screenshot will give you an idea about what I want. $50 award will be given to the contest winner and perhaps a bonus if I am really impressed. Payment via Paypal or Moneybookers. Good luck everyone PS: for privacy reasons, I have blurred out the site/company name and for the same reason I will require your entries to be via PM with a "PM sent" note or something similar. Thanks
Guys, option1) video/player = both (you can use any available player and design the flash video) option2) just block of scrolling images fading in and out to do the job Sorry for putting this in vague words..
Not even one contestant? I will have to extend this for another 24 hrs I guess.. Again, what I am looking for is either a flash video and a player or a set of images fading in-n-out that can simulate that (take a look at the screenshot).
So it doesn't have to be an actual flash video/player that u can interact with? it can just be an animated image file that appears to be a flash player playing a video?
Oh okay, well I will definatly enter then. Unfortunately, I work a 10 hour shift today so I wont even be able to start an entry until really late tonight (EST). So if you don't wish to extend the contest any further I understand. But if you do wish to wait for my entry, then I need to know a few things: 1. Is the player you attached, copyrighted? Because you stated "required flash video/player below" I wasn't sure if that meant you want our entries to use that player specifically. 2. And you didn't describe what your site is about or what the name is. I'm guessing it simple deals with soccer? Are pictures of famous soccer players all you would want?
I am extending the contest, again, for another 24 hrs as I actually didn't get a single contestant Afterwords I will have to repost it as a job in the respective forum. Yes, it's coded in a way that it doesn't work on another domain so I will need a free player I guess. I am limited when it comes to flash and that's why my description seems a little vague. You're right, the site is about soccer. I will give the winner the site name to hardcode it in the delivery. Cheers, Hossam
I would start an entry to tonight, but I want to get one last thing clear. Do the buttons on the player have to actually work? Or can it simply be an animated GIF image, that simply appears to be a flash player playing a video.. (you wouldn't be able to pause it or press play or anything like that, the buttons would be apart of the image) If you would PREFER it be an actual player that you can interact with.. then I will try to whip out Adobe Flash.
EITHER would do.. It just has to give the look-n-feel of a live streaming video of soccer games but in an advertisement way.
Ok guys, I decided to go for an animation of GIF images that gives the look-n-feel of a flash video/player. Waiting for your entries.
Guys, I am waiting for everyone entries. The job is urgent and that's why I had it in 24 hrs contest here. Waiting though..
@ Hossam - I will work on my entry soon. I personally believe a real flash video would be awesome. With actual video of games playing. But not many people in the Contest area of these forums seem to know how to do real Flash. And it would be tough to get actual video. So I will do my best with what I can use. I should have an entry up within hours, unless some horrific event occurs at my home. ^_^
This video/animations will be integrated with the site homepage. After reconsideration I found out that it's a bad idea to have that on homepage delaying page load time, so I decided to go for something light. Well.. if your entry is light, not sure how that would be with a flash video, hit me
I don't think you know the rules of contests here in DP, you can't change the requirements after the contestants invested time to tailor something that fits your instructions, or let me say X-instructions. A flash video will not delay the loading of the page if it's streaming, the only thing the page needs to have loaded is the player itself which is light (less than 100 kb) and the video can be streamed only if the user clicks on the player showing a static screenshot of the video.
I dont think you know the rules either sir. He is the contest holder. He holds the right not to even choose a winner, he holds the right to ask someone to change things, and then say he doesn't like it, and he also holds the right to change whatever he pleases about his own contest rules. Its up to the contestant to choose whether he or she wants to invest their time in taking a risk. After all, no one actually invested time in his original contest specs, and if they did, and didn't notify him ahead of time, that is their own problem. You are right though about the flash video, and I am beginning to have some trouble in photoshop, so I'm thinking of moving to flash to make it easier. EDIT: I finished my animated GIF entry, but GIFs can only support up to 256 colors, and with all the photos I am using, the quality has turned to crap if I try to export it. I am going to have to revert to flash.
These rules were set by whom? you? Ok I am still waiting for your entry. I will end this contest first thing in the morning (1:00 AM here) as it has been extended many times and re-post it as a job in the respective forum if there are no winners.
