dropping text
Can anyone help me?
I would like to make my home page title “drop” onto the page and I found a javascript version to do that, but it doesn’t work with IE7. Can this be done in After effects?
I used Dreamweaver CS3 to build the site. -

It’s not going to happen without scripting of some kind. Plain-vanilla HTML has no capability to (in effect) drop an image from behind the page – through a hidden slot – and then appear in a container cell.
Use AE if you wish, and create a title to export to Flash and change the Flash scripting to fade in (or just run) your image or image sequence inside of a cell along with some Javascript scripting to handle the when’s and conditions.

You can also use an animated gif for this venture which can be created in a number of different graphics apps like Photoshp or PS Elements but you’ll still need scripting to trigger the event when you desire for it to happen.

Ah,
Just thought of something this morning. Make an animated gif with the top layer the same color as your background, give it enough of a delay to load the rest of the page content, then image #2 or whatever after. Play once only.HTH
