Im trying to make a flash site… just learn as i go… i looked at electrongeek’s thread on transition… and i have few questions

Q#1. I want to add these alpha effect to my site when it loads… do i add this to my main swf… or ?

oops forgot my other questions…

thanx in advance

What are you using the alpha effects for? For transitions? It depends on how your site is setup and what you’re using it for. You’re not giving us much detail so I can’t really tell you where it should go.

well i guess it’s a transition… but only when the site loads in the beginning… my site has one screen for picture and one for contents… and i divided them into folders… and each folder contains layers of bg, content, border,etc…
i tried to divide them as specifically as i can…

oh and i know my other question

i want to apply this sliding effect ( http://www.kirupa.com/developer/flash5/slidingmenu.htm ) to my picture screen… would i just apply this into one or my layer in main swf?

sorry for bother you guys but i really wanna learn all this stuff to make a flash site :slight_smile:

For your first question, if you’re planning on applying it when the site loads then it should be part of your main movie.

As for the sliding gallery, you can add it to your main movie or have it as a external swf and use the loadMovie action to load it into the main movie.

well time to attack that slide effect :open_mouth:
