can anyone point me to a tutorial how to do those very cool slider thingies which Tom always uses, such as here in this thread:
[ maybe TOM ?

]
http://www.maxwellrender.com/forum/view ... 97&t=32630
that's such a cool and intuitive way to present stuff.
additional question:
is that icon embedded in all pictures or is this a hovering icon on a layer above the pics ? just curious how that stuff is done ..

My God, Tom's thread really reminded me how much MW 2.0 is improved!!!
Btw, sorry, I have no useful answer

I coded them myself from scratch (AS 3.0) but, probably there's an easier way. The icons are floating on another layer.

Ya, I was looking into this awhile back too. I'd hoped that there was just a tool for function out there that I didn't know about.

deadalvs: kudos to you for asking what we all considered some stupidity at our side. I didn´t dare to ask as I thought it was some common trick which everybody except the people in our studio knew

i wrote a similar tool to do this the other day.
After current project is out the door I may tidy it up and release it.
You're going to need flash cs5 to use it though.

btw. the code 1:1 to do this exists in a tutorial which can be found on the web ...
and guess what: it works ..
and nope, won't post it here.
