Hopw do we get it to not open a new window. We eant it to be able to open in the current window as with a standard url link target=_self Cheers

not happening for me

mellick — Thu, 08 Nov 2007 22:48:18 +0100

I have d/l all paths are have been checked and rechecked but I get nothing at all :cry: I have failed to get it running on 2 windows and 1 linux server either locally or remotely.

Try same path

Marco — Sat, 10 Nov 2007 10:40:03 +0100

Try putting everything (.js + .swf + .jpg + your index file) in the same folder. Remove all path redirections in the .js and script HTML code and try again. You can also try linking everything with a \"hard link\". Example: Instead of: [quote]jaaspeel.small_path = \'/peel/small.swf\';[/quote] Make it: [quote]jaaspeel.small_path = \'http://YOURWEBSITE.com/peel/small.swf\';[/quote] Good luck!

Another \"Large.swf\"

Marco — Sat, 10 Nov 2007 10:46:52 +0100

Try downloading [url=http://downloads.marcofolio.net/programming/javascript/peel/large.swf]this[/url] Flash-file and replace it with the old one and try again.

matt — Sat, 10 Nov 2007 14:21:27 +0100

thanks for the info - legend.

something is definately wrong

ben — Mon, 12 Nov 2007 16:26:28 +0100

I work as a full time web designer and thought i would give this a try as it would be a quick and easy way to introduce this effect, as I am a flash-aphobic if there is such a phrase. I have used paths as supplied, relative paths, absolute paths and placed all files in same dir. I have even tried everything directly in the root dir but the swf is not even loading. I have downloaded twice as thought a file may have become corrupt. But to no avail :( :( Obviously it has worked for some people - just not for me.

great job, Thanks so much

Dane H — Mon, 12 Nov 2007 16:34:24 +0100

WOW! Thanks for the free page peel Marco. Everywhere else I looked wanted to charge, and here you are giving it away for free. Because of that I would like to make a donation. Please contact me thru my contact form on my webpage so I can do so. Thanks for being so generous with the code. Dane H http://hiddenhillsnursery.com

I dont know what i was thinkin

ben — Mon, 12 Nov 2007 16:46:39 +0100

I dont know what i was thinking, I just followed the instructions to place link to js file in tag, which was the problem. If I had been half awake I would have ignored it and placed it in the BODY. So much for being a pro eh. Love the effect, if we use it on our site I will be more than happy to make a donation. Thanks for great script.

Thanks Dane and Ben

Marco — Mon, 12 Nov 2007 17:13:56 +0100

Ben, Dane, Thank you for your reactions. These comments show that there are people out there that really like my work. That is enough motivation for me to keep on doing this. No donation is needed, thanks anyway :) . And Ben, Even the best can make mistakes :wink: Greetings, Marco

Very close, but.....

Dane H — Wed, 14 Nov 2007 03:18:46 +0100

Hi Marco, I am so close to getting it all to work. I am testing it on my computer before uploading, but I seem to be having a slight problem or two. I have saved all files to a folder, redirected all links (basically removing /peel/), and edited the re-direct url. I modified two images to replace the blank ones from the zip file, added the proper code into the HEAD ( although, looking at your page source here, you seem to have it in BODY... :D , and it looks like a comment???). When I open my index page, I see the corner rolled with my image, but it won\'t roll, and the url wont redirect. So very close...any ideas? Dane H [url]http://hiddenhillsnursery.com[/url]

Good work

Marco — Wed, 14 Nov 2007 08:24:18 +0100

Hello Dane, The one that looks like a comment is my \"old\" one, the proper one used on this page looks like this: [quote]src="images/stories/programming/webdesign/peel/peel.js"[/quote] Strange this about this script, is that it works in the HEAD and sometimes in the BODY. In Firefox it works on both, IE6 only when it's in the BODY. Putting it in the HEAD is better for performance, but sometimes it doesn't work. Are you [b]sure[/b] you made the proper changes to peel.js? If you see the \"small.swf\" (the small rolled image) and you mouse-over it, the \"large.swf\" should show up. Did you also change the [b]jaaspeel.big_path[/b] and [b]jaaspeel.big_image[/b] in the .js file? If it still doesn\'t work, try uploading it to your webserver. The .swf file tries to load the .jpg file and sometimes your localhost can see this is an \"illegal operation\". When it\'s online, it should work. Good luck, Greetings, Marco

Oh Well

Dane H — Thu, 15 Nov 2007 23:26:01 +0100

I have tried everything I can think of, including loading all the files freshly unzipped into a folder named peel, placing the in my index code, uploading, and.....nothing. Tried hard coding too, and nothing. I can get the corner to start to roll when all files are on my comp, but when I upload, nothing. :confused: I guess I will have to keep playing. :D Dane H [url]http:hiddenhillsnursery.com[/url]

Troubleshoot package

Marco — Fri, 16 Nov 2007 10:15:59 +0100

Dane, I edited my post and added a \"peel_troubleshoot.zip\". When you upload everything in that package in any folder, it should really work (Localhost can give permission problems). When it still doesn't work on your website, it can be your host that doesn't allow to connect the Flash with the JPG files. Good luck, please tell me if it worked. Greetings, Marco

Excellent

Erik — Wed, 21 Nov 2007 07:03:25 +0100

How About....

TS — Wed, 28 Nov 2007 05:06:22 +0100

Excellent, well done and thanks for making it available FOC. As you are giving it away, how about also making flash source available? Alternatively, how about adding a parameter which will allow me to determine whether or not my link opens in a new window OR replaces the page I\'m on. Best wishes...

How About 2...

Jimbob — Wed, 28 Nov 2007 13:53:19 +0100

I agree with TS, if you could make the flash source available that would be great..it would also mean we could resize the peel too. :lol: Unless there is anopther way of resizing the peel?

Z-index issue in home page usi

shahid hussain — Thu, 29 Nov 2007 23:05:34 +0100

hi, i have created a page and i use peelawayad file which is in flash. i was already using two div on home page which contains flash movies. but now when i placed peelawayad flash movie on home page. it appears on bottom of both div layers. i tired my best with stylesheet. z-index and many other tricks which i know best. but still not able to sucess. can someone help me to getride of this issue. help would be appriciated. thanks here is the current site link which has the flash movies embeded. http://www.visionetsystems.com/test/ Source Files are as under: http://board.flashkit.com/board/attachment.php?attachmentid=64690&d=1196368726 thanks Shahid Hussain

re:

Marco — Fri, 30 Nov 2007 11:16:44 +0100

@TS & Jimbob: Right now, my laptop (with source files) has crashed and will return next week. When I have it back, I\'ll release the source code and you can play around with it. @shahid hussain: You\'re right, I had this problem too and wasn\'t able to fix it. Did you try putting the \"peel code\" (peel.js\") in the section of your website? I\'m sorry, but I really don\'t have any clue. Please come back if you found the solution! Good luck.

Jimbob — Fri, 30 Nov 2007 12:22:23 +0100

Hi, Actually I don\'t need the source now...to reduce the size of the peel without distorting you just need to keep the correct ratio between the large.jpg and the .swf file. shahid hussain - I had similar problems with other flash on the page and this is the reason why I reduced the peel size so there is no overlap.

Flash Source

TS — Tue, 11 Dec 2007 15:29:23 +0100

Hi Marco, Many thanks for making flash source (large.fla) available. Modifying large.fla and peel.js to cater for target frame for any ad is a simple step. However, it seems the act of loading the source into Flash CS3 Pro and re-publishing it (as flash 8, actionscript2) upsets the masking routines such that reflection of the ad is lost during the peel. The masking to give the relfection is beyond my flash skill level at present, Should anyone else with a more detailed understanding of such flash techniques be interested I\'d be happy to colaborate? Regards TS

Paul — Mon, 17 Dec 2007 02:24:29 +0100

has anyone else been able to fix the above error?

- solved open same window

Andrew — Mon, 17 Dec 2007 10:50:41 +0100

@ TS - you\'re right. I believe the mess up is happening when the .swf is published to a newer version. Okay, I don\'t think this has been said yet so here we go...since something is messing up when people are updating the .fla and .swf to make it open in the same window, I think this is what can fix it... Marco: In the Large.fla you provided, on frame 44 in the Action Layer there\'s this code: bt.onRelease = function () { getURL(_root.ad_url, \"_blank\"); }; I think all you have to do is change \"_blank\" to \"_top\" , and then republish the .swf Is there any way to donate money for all this effort, Marco? Even sending you a gift card or something...man...I\'m very appreciative of this resource. Please let me know. thanks! andrew

re:

Marco — Mon, 17 Dec 2007 18:26:36 +0100

Andrew, That\'s (\"_blank\" to \"_self\") what I did with the updated version you can find in the comments. I don\'t know why it\'s \"invisible\" now. Do you have it working correct? If so, please contact me and send me the correct file and I can post it here again. Like I said before, there\'s no need for a donation. Reactions like you give are enough \"donation\" for me! Just keep on checking on this website or subribe to the feed for new articles will do it for me :wink: . Have a nice day, Greetings, Marco

@ Marco - open same window

Andrew — Mon, 17 Dec 2007 20:03:00 +0100

Hi Marco, I downloaded the source.zip again, and checked the large.fla again...frame 44, Action Layer still says \"_blank\". Not sure which file you are referring to...? I can change the Action Script in the large.fla for you, send it over to you, and then you could republish it via your version of Flash Pro. I think that would fix the problem, since it seems to be an issue when the large.swf is republished in a newer version of Flash Pro...thoughts? My email: pagepeel@experiencefluxx.com You\'re sure about no donations? Thanks! Andrew

re:

Marco — Mon, 17 Dec 2007 21:43:56 +0100

No, I was referring to [url=http://downloads.marcofolio.net/programming/javascript/peel/large.swf]this large.swf[/url] that I placed in the comments above. That one works with the \"_self\" thingie, but for unknown reason the peel is transparent. If you can make it working (without transparent peel), that would be enough donation for me :lol: . Yeah, I\'m sure about the donation, I don\'t even have a PayPal account (yet :wink: ). I\'ve send you a mail. Greetings, Marco

First of all great script :D If you have the script on www.example1.com and wish to include it on www.example2.com then do this: 1* open peel.js and change peel/small.swf to www.exaple1.com/peel/small.swf (change 4) 2* upload a crossdomain.xml to your peel folder. 3* Call the java and your Done :D crossdomain.xml example [code] [/code]

Shawn — Wed, 09 Jan 2008 23:34:34 +0100

First off, thank you very much for the script and flash source, this is an excellent resource. Has anyone found a fix for the problem TS reports with lost reflection? I just tried this in Flash 8 and get the same result. When I open large.fla in Flash 8 and Test Movie, the peel reflection is lost. Get the same results in CS3. At first I thought it was a CS3 issue, but I get the same results in Flash 8. Marco, what version of Flash are you using to build/publish the original?

Flash 8

Marco — Thu, 10 Jan 2008 08:53:10 +0100

Hi, It was Flash version 8. Problem is, that when I upgraded to Flash CS3, I think that\'s when it \"destroyed\" the original SWF file :roll: ... I tried it many times to fix it, but without any help .. Sucks :(

Alignment

Med — Wed, 16 Jan 2008 23:03:03 +0100

As far as I can tell, the issue of alignment was never addressed. The image loads over the scroll bars, initially, then it self corrects. the alignment on the right is not correct, does anyone else see this?

Thu, 17 Jan 2008 18:02:19 +0100

Has anyone been able to take the flash source files (large.fla and small.fla) and reverse them successfully so that the peel will be at the top left hand side of the page instead of the right? :?:

Unable to display images

Ian — Wed, 23 Jan 2008 11:29:38 +0100

The flash and javascript are displaying fine but no matter what images (small.jpg and large.jpg) I upload, it will not display them in the ad. I note that you mention that some hosts do not allow images to be displayed in flash - can you elaborate?

sugsworth — Mon, 07 Apr 2008 22:39:33 +0100

thanks for the great code and free flash. it took a minute to figure it all out but i got it. the troubleshoot folder helped the most. heres what i did to get it to work: 1.download the troubleshoot zip file to my documents 2.copy and paste all the files from that folder and drop them on the desktop 3.upload both small, large, and the peel file AS THEY ARE to make sure it will work with the original codes. (dont alter the files... upload the files given to you as a test) 4. start with the page u want to peel and edit the html anywhere. insert this code (the original instructions have \"peel\" twice and was not working for me so i removed one) 5. pushlish and view. 6. this should work for you. 7. once you have confirmed that it works... now u can alter the open the \"peel\" file that is on your desktop thru notepad and alter the info. (u have to find or make JPG\'S. one has to be about 100x100 and the other 650x650 and dont forget to change the \"path\" (jaaspeel.ad_url = escape(\'http://www.marcofolio.net/\') at the top of the code to the page u want the use to go to ex: {jaaspeel.ad_url = escape(\'http://www.google.com/\');. } 8. once you have mastered this... u can make as many peels as you want. use the same trick and change the pictures and paths. i made 4 or 5 different peels for my site and they all work. http://sugsworth.googlepages.com p.s leave me a message if this almost makes sense to u

Great script (did you know that there are people out there charging money for this btw?). There\'s only one problem: The peel down appears UNDER other Flash content.

Does anyone know why this happens and how to make the peel appear on top of all content? mor10

Solved: IE 6 & 7 Working!

r0tt3n — Mon, 16 Jun 2008 08:33:17 +0100

Here\'s how you get this script to work in firefox, ie6, ie7, & opera: move the script that points at peel.js into the body rather than being in the head. Not exactly sure why this works, but it does. I still can\'t figure out how to make a new swf file from the fla source without the peel effect being transparent. Consequently, I\'m trapped with the out-of-the-box functionality, which sucks.

The ultimate questions

fl3tch3r — Thu, 19 Jun 2008 19:14:50 +0100

I\'m using the peel script, which is awesome and my client loves it.. but I have the same questions everyone else does.. a. Is there a way to force the thing to peel under another flash animation b. More importantly, is there new FLA\'s that will allow you to edit the action script so when it\'s clicked it opens in the same window.. I found where in the script to change it but when I recreate the SWF it screws up the mask and becose transpearent when \"peeled\".

sorry some text has been dropped the script must be inserted after the body tag < body > here

Nahel — Tue, 29 Jul 2008 01:52:59 +0100

the solution so far is to convert the flash to animated gif

Nahel — Tue, 29 Jul 2008 01:54:45 +0100

put the script after the body tag and it will work fine with both

Target of the large.swf

Elvis — Fri, 01 Aug 2008 16:08:05 +0100

Greetings from germany. I love the script, it was integrated nice and easy. But here are my two cents: I\'d like to have the possibility to choose wether the link of large.swf opens in \"_blank\" or \"_self\" so I could use the peel script for announce some new features of my own homepage (self) as well as link to other pages (blank). Any chance to get that feature in the future? Thank you for your effort!

I\'ve read to make the script open in the same browser window, you have to open the \"large.swf\" file and change \"_blank\" to \"_self\", which I fully undertand. The problem is what problem are you using to open the \"large.swf\" file. As NoteTab Pro has problems opening this file because of binary code, and notpad wont open it correctly either.

Auto Page Peel

Jason Riley — Thu, 07 Aug 2008 12:51:17 +0100

Rather than waiting for the user to notice the peel and hover their mouse over small.jpg, is there any way of making the peel script run automatically when the page is first loaded? Then time out after a few seconds and return to small.jpg?

Open on load

I would like the peel to open on load of the page. Where do I tweak the movie(s)?

Flash banner

Jag — Tue, 16 Sep 2008 09:46:44 +0100

I ve also noticed a lot of people asking about using page peel to go over flash banners, im having the same issue, i wont be able to convert my \'banner\' to gif as is displays the website name/logo. So how can i resolve page peel to go over the banner???

Found It!!

Jag — Tue, 16 Sep 2008 21:37:19 +0100

The way to make your page peel go over your flash banners is to do the following to the flash banner code: in the object code script, after [b][/b] add [i][/i] and in the embed src line, after [b]quality=\"high\"[/b]add [i]wmode=\"opaque\"[/i]

Please contact me

Hi Jag, Could you please contact me using the contact form with the code? The commenting system blocks all code-input by users ;) . When I receive the code, I\'ll make sure to place in in the article. Thanks!

Just a quick note to say thank you Marco - fantastic work! Also thank you for the heads up on how to make the link open in the same window by editing the large.fla source file. (for anyone who missed the info its post 62.194.187.xxx). :woohoo:

Hey, this is a GREAT resource, and thanks for making this free. For anyone who ran into the problem I had with using flash banners or menus showing on top of the peel, I found an answer for it (at least on the pages I use it for). Go to the flash source codes that are showing on top of the peel. Find the line that says and change it to Hope this helps!

Martin — Thu, 09 Oct 2008 00:36:42 +0100

It is a real problem with the transparency in the end you need a flash person to customize it and the results are great look at this example, the sound stops as you leave the peel, it is a pitty that it only works with a total customized version but anywayz here is the result. www.flyingpig.nl

Sam — Mon, 13 Oct 2008 22:19:37 +0100

Thanks for this amazing resource. I\'ve got it working for the most part, but... The peel is folding over my flash navigation. The actionscripted buttons under the folding area aren\'t working anymore. weird. www.viejas.com/peel/index.html

gumby — Sun, 16 Nov 2008 17:57:15 +0100

I\'ve noticed a flaw in the peel. If you place your mouse just to .. and outside .. of the peel, and then just move the mouse over onto the peel, it locks up. You have to just touch it. Sometimes it just locks up on its own. Anybody have a fix for this?

I found it!!

Christina — Sun, 30 Nov 2008 23:43:58 +0100

Ok... the solution to getting the page peel to open on top of other swfs: http://www.webmasterworld.com/javascript/3351076.htm You have to add that embed wmode=\"transparent\" to the swf object you want the page peel to go on top of. It\'s working on my site in IE and Firefox: http://www.littleolemedesigns.com

Michael — Thu, 18 Dec 2008 21:55:15 +0100

Hi, First of all, thanks a lot for this great script (on top of it, it\'s completely free, WOW!). I\'m using vbulletin and would like to know if we can insert the script into the forumhome.php template. I\'m asking because when I test the script on my forum locally, by inserting this line into that template, it works very well: (actually worked on first try!) Inserted after and before But when I want to test it on my real forum, nothing shows at all! It is exactly the same code and all the files are located at the same place. I just don\'t get it. I triple-checked and checked again and once more, found out that everything is the same. Why does it work locally but not online? I almost spent 6 hours trying to figure this out but did not find the solution yet. I\'m using Firefox 3.0.5 (will troubleshoot IE later, if so). Please help, Thanks Michael

Entrywound — Fri, 19 Dec 2008 17:33:20 +0100

Any comment saying, that Marco did not create this script is deleted? WHY? If you can not recompile yourself the code in flash, how did you know first place, how to make it. Please explain

Clear large.swf

Rusty — Sat, 21 Mar 2009 00:40:32 +0100

I just recently started playing with this script. I have been a Flash programmer all the way back since Flash 3. I have also taught Advanced ActionScript at a community college. I had a look at your large.fla source file. I\'m not sure what is going on, but it seems to be a little corrupted or something. Go to the library, Under MovieClip there is a file called \"sprite 10\". When I click on the shape tween, or the stage for that matter, very strange things seem to happen. Also there seems to be problems with \"sprite 4\". Also, it seems that on Scene 1, there is a layer missing between \"Layer 9\" and \"Layer 8\" I recreated the Layer in \"sprite 10\". And put a layer in between \"Layer 9\" and \"Layer 10\" called \"New Layer\". That seems to do the trick. It is not perfect, and the shapes are not aligned exactly. If some one with more precision want\'s to take over from here, they can touch it up. In the mean time, where do I submit the new large.fla source file?

to rusty — Tue, 24 Mar 2009 12:36:49 +0100

I\'ts proven that marcofolio is not the author of the source file. Many thanks for the new file, please e-mail me the source and I\'ll publish it online.

Open the images with Photoshop, or Fireworks, or any other graphics editing program. And nudge them one pixel at a time, whichever way. Save, test. And repeat until they lineup.

Thank You for this Amazing Script. Everything works fantastic, but I have an flash animation (I\'m gonna call Flash1) on the top of the page next to this script,so what happen is that when you move the mouse over the peel**flash in the corner, the big flash goes underneath (below) to the Flash1 so does not show the large.jpg of the peel, ... I was trying to make my flash1 like always stay on the bottom, but ... I\'m not a programmer guy, ... :( so I was playing whit the peel.js to try to make this like always on Top of the top, but i cannot do it. So, please gyus, can you help me?? Thanks a lot and soryy for my English

In my large image I have created a black box 100 x 100 pixels but in the flash the box is 60 x 60 pixels..... Strange?!??!

Images not aliging properly

HapiBnBusiMom — Thu, 27 Aug 2009 22:50:23 +0100

Thanks for sharing this!!!!!! 1) I noticed in your instructions that you say the images need to be 100 X 100 and 650 X 650 and the peel.js file has those settings but your images you use are smaller than that. When I upload your images with the SWF files and peel.js files you furnish, the images align properly but when I upload my 100 X 100 and 650 X 650 images, they don\'t align properly. What do I need to do to get the images aligned properly? 2) When clicking inside the peel, a new browser tab is launched and I don\'t want that. I want the new page loaded in the current tab. Thanks again for sharing! This is awesome and I\'ll be ecstatic if I can figure out how to get the images aligned properly.

HapiBnBusiMom — Thu, 27 Aug 2009 22:52:21 +0100

I have the same problem. My images are 100 X 100 and 650 X 650 per his instructions but his images are much smaller than that. Are we supposed to make them smaller even though the peel.js is set to larger file sizes?

HapiBnBusiMom — Thu, 27 Aug 2009 23:06:50 +0100

Is it possible that this is happening because the source flash is not really compiled at 100 X 100 and 650 X 650 and therefore, because we are using those larger image sizes, our images are being shoved off to the right so much? I\'ll try using the same file sizes as the developer uses in his images and see if that works. In the meantime, I wish someone would update the flash source files and recompile the SWF so they match the image specs the developer indicates on this site.

HapiBnBusiMom — Thu, 27 Aug 2009 23:22:36 +0100

K - Finally got it to work for me. I changed my small image size to 75 X 75 and my large image size to 500 X 500. (If you use 73 X 73 like the developer uses, your image will be 2 pixels off towards the left which you don\'t want.) Also, you need to keep the peel.js file set to 100 X 100 for the small and 650 X 650 for the large or else image distortion happens. I don\'t quite understand why it all has to be this way but I guess if I saw the flash source (and knew flash), I would. Hope this helps others try to get this working on their site.
