Hi,
I found this site (http://spinmedia.se/tryout.php?url=http%3A%2F%2Fwww.tiveden.com)
where a man enters from the right side. I would like to do like this on my website. Is there a java script? I know that I have to recording an AVI file with the object against a green background. What kind of other programs do I need and how do I set this up on my website. Common video, (youtube) I know how it works but this is transparent background.
Please can anyone tell me how it works

Excuse bad English

That looks like a cleverly designed flash file, which shouldn't be too hard to re-create.

You will need to capture the video on a green screen, as you said, and then use whatever video techniques to remove that green and have it transparent.
Then load that video into flash, and place the flash swf inside a DIV which is positioned to be in the bottom left corner of the browser. So give it absolute positioning outside of all other positioned DIV's with right=0 and bottom=0.
If you don't want to use flash, then I'm sure you can embed the video using HTML5, just so long as it's inside the DIV that you're going to position.

This is just my initial thoughts of how to do it, without doing any actual testing on the idea. Hopefully you can expand upon it to make it work.

Right click on the video and it should probably come up with a menu for flash files. Flash would definitely be the method of choice for getting this done. Not so sure about HTML5 quite yet because most users probably don't have HTML 5 support on their currently installed browsers.

Click to expand...

I would not recommend loading your site into Flash. This will leave you with creating a preloader and streaming by yourself. Instead, use Adobe media encoder to export your file as an FLV, and then upload that instead of an SWF. A SWF is the wrong way to go altogether. You would be increasing loading time, which decreases SEO rankings. Let me know if a youtube video is needed, as I'll create one accordingly.

I wasn't suggesting making the whole site flash, just the video area itself.
Making it FLV instead is interesting, I haven't heard of that before (been out of the game for a little while). What is the main advantage of this? Is it a smaller file size?
