My Simple Beginner Questions
At age 13 I took a course on Director, and when Flash first came out I played around with it but never really got deep into it. I made a couple menus and some fun animations but nothing serious. So fast forward 10 years and I now have this job, and my boss wants me to make some simple flash ads. I will post some simple questions here in this thread every now and then, if anyone could give me some helpful tips or point me to some links I'd be very grateful.
I was given a PSD file with the graphics already made and laid out for me, now it is my job to put the animation together in flash and add some nice transitions. I select each part from the psd and save them as individual jpg images and then import them to my flash library.
1) I have a blue dot with a transparent background, and when I save it to jpg it automatically gets a white background, which overlaps the orange background in my animation. Is there any layer properties I could change that could set it to multiply like in Photoshop?
2) What is the best way to make a single 1 pixel border around my flash?
3) How can I stop the animation from looping?
Thanks very much! :)
You type slow.
2. How would i edit the loop count?
Does your boss have any open posistions?;)
2)using the rectangle tool; ensure you have no fill colour selcted and that the line thickness is set to "hairline"
3) click on the last frame of the animation, goto window>actions (if its not already open) and put the following actionscript in it stop();
hope that helps :)
1) Export your images in PNG format to give them a transparent background, then in your flash library, select each image and click in the little small tree next to them, in there you can select the compression method, choose jpg and play with the quality. Flash doesn`t have layer properties like multiply.
2)Please explain a little bit more :P
3)Right click in the last frame of your animation, choose actions, and put this: stop();

1. save it as a PNG-24, to keep the multiply look, you can crop the background sot aht is is only behind the part with the multiple style and save it that way.
2. that would be in HTML/CSS
you would put the flash file in a DIV then put #divName{ border: 1px #color solid }
etc
It may be easier to just make a 1 px box border in the actual flash file though.
3. stop();
