Thanks a lot.

>Video in the background
Yes, but Atomic can manage up to 10 video objects. Each video object are considered as other object so all effect can be applie on video too.
animation , transparency , scrolling...etc...

>Overlay of the dragon (multiple simple images in different lays?)
You can replicate image following a given trajectory with a given offset. But in the case of that layout , i use 7 different object with the same image.

>Round cropped cornes of the snapshots
It is done with a system of Mask . You can give the shape you want , even make a hole in the snap if you want!


Did you see that one too?

http://www.atomicfe.com/divers/racecab.avi

this one have interresting feature too.
- So object appear or not on certain event. Like the wheel that turn left or right in function of your move.
- Arrow appear or not if there is still some game on the left on the right in the list
- Object blinks.
and few other things.



Yes, you can use Video as Selection image in a list.


In fact this layout (as the racing one) is a close collaboration between me and totoleouf. Totoleouf did the graphism and the videos. and i built the layout , and made trajectory and zoom effect for the Dragon.
It doesn't use Gif or flash. It uses AVI for video. (you need to have the right codec) , and for the rest it is the AtomicFE animation engine i made.


If you want make some layout for Atomic , let me know, Atomic have lot of possibilities not all yet exploited. I can help you to do that you want.
But i'm not a graphist, i can just help techincally and give you some idea.

Thanks

Youki
