Aqua-Soft ForumsHi, i was wondering if anyone knew where to get a mac os x like dock for my website.
thanks,
Pops
dock for website
What exactly do you mean? Do you want just the appearance, the actual roll-over effects, or what? This is kind of unclear...

well like a the mac osx dock, but a css version (or php) that sits at the bottom of my site and when i hover over it it has the same effects and stuff as the Mac dock
sorry that is impossible w/ css. you can't have a magnification effect (you could have a gif animation but it would look funny when you scroll to a different object. you can try to create one in flash using actionscript, but it might be hard to achieve the magnification effect while scrolling back and forth on the dock.
hmmm, so there isnt a javascript that would do it, or php? i mean i could always learn flash if all else fails
There´s a perfect one here : http://www.jrgraphix.net/research/flash/dockmx.swf
If the guy let´s you use his source let me know - i would like that too... 
Look here guys. This guy is giving away his code.

very nice of him.
It'll be cool to see new sites using docks.
Ah, I was just going to post that .
I didn't know where to find the source code- thanks babypap!

how would i change the icons, and where they link too though? thanks for gving me the links!
Open it up in Flash. Window > Library. All clips, bitmaps, and buttons are showed in the Library. Edit as you wish.
ahh yes!, though i dont see a place where i can customize links
I think you need to set an action (hyperlink) for clicking on each image.
select the button and click F9. use the getURL() action.
>.> learn to use the internet. A-S ain't the only place where you can get your questions answered, any site with flash tutorials could have answered your library and active link question and all it takes is that little extra click. Odds are you could have found it in the help files that come with flash.
This is web design and developement right? I was looking for a wide-varity of help, that maybe a tutorial can't provide. I will try the GetURL function now!, thanks!
Yeah, you should try the tutorials first though. The getUrl function is fairly easy to master.
Good luck!

Some time ago, I was looking for a nice Dock to place into my site. I've found 2 diferent docks:
in Flash: http://jrgraphix.net/research/flash_dock.php (the same posted above)
in java script: http://scriptasylum.com/mouse/linkdock/linkdock.html
You'll need some edition to achive your wills... But They work great.
The one made in Actionscript (Flash) seems to run smoother (?).
You can see the flash one in action @ my website
Good Luck!

that looks pretty cool!, since i had today off i've been working on my own little dock cause i got this cool idea using images an rollovers. The only thing it can't do is magnify on mouseover, but it accurately uses shading and rollovers,and i may even have anotehr cool rollover effect that makes it possible to display the text when you hover over the item. but it will take me a little bit to get it to work and to get it uploaded to the server for a nice preview!
