Checkmates R us
Running wide open
High Octane Here
Checkmate-aholics enter here
Caution: Fast boats ahead/or fast boat crossing?

remember the old t-shirt "Life begins at 5,000 rpm"? kind of fits too!

http://www.checkmate-boats.com/infopop/emoticons/icon_rolleyes.gifI ain't much good at this stuff either. But here are my few ideas'

Checkmate, It's Got You Stuck
Check It Out Mate

Checkmates may not be the fastest boats on the water, but they are the nicest looking!

[senator-holland]

I once saw(i think on the hydrostream page)a boat that reared up when the mouse went over it, i think it was a v-king. That would be cool if you could do same thing but with a c-mate http://www.checkmate-boats.com/infopop/emoticons/icon_cool.gif

how about you click on the ignition and a ZT rears up and takes off with a roaring thruhull sound

[wickedrister]

I REALLY LIKE THE TAC.BUT DON'T KNOW ABOUT THE "HE-HE-HE" THING. THE TAC.IS WAY COOL! JUST NEED TO FIND THE WORDS TO GO ALONG WITH IT. HOW ABOUT "HIT IT" AND WHEN YOU DRAG THE MOUSE ACROSS IT THE TAC.CRANKS UP TO THE RED LINE?

One of these days I'll whip something up.

There's lots of good ideas that have been suggested for sure. http://www.checkmate-boats.com/infopop/emoticons/icon_smile.gif

I sent it, but I made a better one. Also, if someone has a video clip of their checkmate i can import it, and modify it a bit,with your permission of course

I got your email but the attachment never made it. It was deleted by the servers software.

Try sending it to the other email I sent you. Also try sending it upzipped if possible. http://www.checkmate-boats.com/infopop/emoticons/icon_smile.gif

Chris/Mx-13,
You have my permission to use the video I sent to you. Let me know if I can be of any help.
I think MX-13 is right on track with what he is trying to put together!!
I have worked with Flash enough to know that you can produce some nice work with it.

[MX-13]

Predictor, send me that movie! http://www.checkmate-boats.com/infopop/emoticons/icon_smile.gif

Which format would you prefer?
It is in Quicktime at the momement.

[MX-13]

.Wav would be best, but i can probably work with quicktime if you can't change it

[Chris]

If you guys can whip together a round start button that pushes in and we'll get an engine cranking wave file....that would be cool.

Perhaps the standard looking big red start button with a mate logo on it?

That's what I've wanted to come up with for a while now but have just been too busy to create. We could always record something, a saying perhaps...and then an engine cranking sound after.

How does that sound?

.wav is usually a sound format.
I could do .mpeg or.avi in addition to .mov.
What Flash creator program are you using.
Just wondering.

Chris,
I think the sky is the limit with Flash. You are limited by your imagination.

MX-13,
I could work on the button with sound if you want to work with the Flash video.
Let me know.
http://www.checkmate-boats.com/infopop/emoticons/icon_wink.gif

[MX-13]

Sounds like a deal. I'm using Flash Mx. I just started like a week ago, so am just making basic stuff. Now I am working on a simple web page http://www.checkmate-boats.com/infopop/emoticons/icon_smile.gif

I don't have flash fellas. I usually use Adobe Photoshop. But if you want to whip something together go for it. http://www.checkmate-boats.com/6/ws/,s,8626072361/Graemlins/thumb.gif

As far as I know, you don't need Flash set up on the server. The person surfing in needs to have the "plug-in" installed in their browser in order to see the Flash movie.

[85Predictor]

Chris,
Can you e-mail a .wav file of the engine sound you want to use?? My boat is done for this year so I won't be able to record it. In fact, the first snow of the season fell today!!

[Chris]

Hmmmm.....let me see what I can find 85!

Not a cranking sound...but a engine with a wild cam. http://www.checkmate-boats.com/infopop/emoticons/icon_smile.gif

Sounds like a 10 cyl outboard!!

Chris,
What logo do you want for the button??

I like the fat one with the circle around it....what do you think?

See if you can use this. I can easily change the color if need be.
