I’ve been getting a lot of email lately from people asking about how I included buttons in the code for the fluid layout tutorial found here at Active Tut’s. I decided to just offer up my code in a package for those who want to modify it to suit their needs. Why? Because after much deliberation, I’m moving away from the all-Flash site for a blog/flash mix site (the one you’re on now). Let me know what you think and please come back to show me the sites you make!
Summary: Here’s all the information and resources you need in order to create a fluid Flash website.
The Active Tuts Tutorial by Makzan
I also included the ‘Whimsical’ animated background effect also found here at Active Tuts
If you don’t have the font I used download it here: Airstrip Four

Also: If you are particularly good with this and want to redistribute the code in an update package then let me know. There are bugs in my code and it’s not very ‘clean’ so if you do some work on it and want to share the wealth then by all means hit me up.
Disclaimer: I did not write this entire code. DLOCC claims no ownership over the Classes used, images and MP3s and other non-original elements of this package.
Don’t forget to leave a comment! :]
Your links are bad. Archive doesnt load, demo doesnt open.
But i’ve seen your hosters mascot, who was eating some letter or smthng.
Fix it please.

Hey cool extension to the original tutorial! Nevertheless, I’m having difficulty going through your coding process when the original FLA document doesn’t open and I can’t take a closer look at your library! Why is that? I would love to be able to open the original FLA file! Otherwise nice coding!

Hey there, what version of Flash are you using? I just tested and made sure I can open it with CS4, please make sure you have at least CS3+

yes I’ve tried opening it in three different computers! All three of them have flash CS3….it keeps popping out “Failed to Open Document”….!!
what do you think is the problem?

Hmm, I have to admit I have not opened it with CS3. You are downloading the Fluid.zip and unzipping all the contents correctly?

hey!!! I’ve downloaded the trial version of Flash CS4 from adobe and it worked! I guess you do have to open it with CS4!
The source file is great! Thanks for sharing!
