hey all,

I'm wondering if anyone knows where I might find a blinking (animated) stoplight that I could put on MediaShout. I would like something really alive if possible.

Let me know if you have any leads.

Thanks!

How big? I've got a stoplight I could video tape flashing (any mode you want).
You probably don't want something like this: I think it's pretty stupid, but I thought I'd give it a try.[/s].

I don't think MediaShout supports animated GIFs. So you will need a Flash file or a video.

Shows how much I know. How about these?



Or just go here http://www.joezgarage.com/ andc click on the traffic signal sequencer part.

Thanks for your replies! I actually don't know that much about MediaShout either, i'm just learning.

Those lights are sweet, and close to what I'm looking for (although I guess I was thinking something more cartoon-ish) but what I really need is a flashing green. :-) If it's not the whole stoplight, that's okay, too.. I'm just at a loss as to where to find a flashing green light.

Patrick, do you know anything about how the motion backgrounds are made for MediaShout? is it a specific program?

[PatrickStar4491]

I can make you one. I have two options for you. Choose which light you want, and tell me what different animations you want.

Dude, that's awesome! Thanks for the offer. I'm wondering... is it possible to use the clip that I pasted in the Word document attached (It's from Microsoft Clip art)? If not, I think I'd prefer the second one you attached.

As for animations, I mostly want the green light flashing, or some sort of flashing effect around the edge.

Were you thinking of just the animation, or the actual motion background? If you're doing the entire background, it'd be sweet if you coul add the logo that I also pasted into the Word document. If you need the actual file, I can attach that later (I'm not at that computer at the moment).

Thanks again. I seriously appreciate it!

Alright, here is the blinking stoplight. Let me know if you want me to tweak the speed of the blinking or whatever else.

What do you mean by the whole motion background? I can probably help you out, but what do you want done with it?

[Jozeca]

That's sweet! Is there anyway the colors can be brighter (especially the green), closer to the original? Also, the flash could be a little faster.

As for the motion background, I was thinking the .wmv files that you can select as a background - so it would be a page that had the flashing stoplight and the "Gokidz" logo on it.

If you aren't able, don't worry about out... but I certianly appreciate what you've done so far!

Wow, that's pretty cool. I can still video mine if you want, but PatrickStar4491's looks pretty good.

[PatrickStar4491]

Alright I set it to half a second.

Here is a GIF and a WMV of it. Let me know if you want me to modify it at all.

EDIT: That thumbnail looks really weird. It doesn't really animate like that. Look at the large version of it.
