Flash site redone in jquery? perhaps?

Question

I'm thinking of trying to redesign a flash site with jquery effects and transitions. I just wanted to reach out to the community to maybe see how realistically it really looks at the specific transitions and consequences of this website.

Here is the link:

The gallery, I think, can be recreated by a carousel plugin, but there are so many of them, so it can offer a stable option that is best suited for this work. Other items that really caught my attention, in which I would not know where to start, are the navigation bar and the effect, which looks like opening a book when you click on the link on the navigation bar. Any input will be appreciated. Thank you

Answer 1

This is probably possible, but I wonder what motives change to an HTML / jQuery solution when it looks pretty good right now (as Brad noted above, this will require a complete remake). I see a couple of things:

• Carousel: jCarousel (http://sorgalla.com/jcarousel/) (never used it, but it is popular)
• Animation: jQuery Animate (http://api.jquery.com/animate/)
• Other widgets / interactions: jQueryUI: (http://www.jqueryui.com)

Not sure how you would go around animating with an open book, but I suspect that you can do it with some smart jQuery animations.

The best way to find out if this can be done: start doing it! jQuery has tons of resources, and you will get good help here at StackOverflow.

Answer 3

the whole site can be done using jquery. all you have to do is display all the animation made on the site and record it on paper. then find jquery alternatives online and check them one by one. some things may not be accurate, but they will do the job.
