Hi everyone, I have several questions in regards to creating a Flash Website. First one being the user interface and images used for it, I know that some of you use fireworks or illustrator for creating the vector graphics user interfaces. Let’s say, I have a pixel image (ie. landscape) that I would like to incorporate into the vector graphics user interface. How do you convert that pixel image into vector graphics? But also still keep the details of the image without losing the textures.
Second, in Fireworks, you can just copy and paste the vector graphics user interface or any image into Flash. How would you do it from Illustrator? Can you copy and paste it straight to Flash or do you have to export it? If so, what format would you export the vector graphics and can be edited in Flash?
Third, can someone explain to me some of the techniques this Flash Website uses to create the effects? Also, any example would be great as well. For example, in the intro, the head of the dragon pops out, other shapes pops and moves to certain areas, and some shape appears to grow/expand from one end to the next.
Here’s the Website. www.albertlan.com
It looks like it can be done with motion tweens for some of the shape. But can you use tweens for the Chinese words that slowly appear from top to bottom? Additionally, there are some shapes that appear which shows a bit of it then gradually the whole portion.
Can someone provide a tween and AS example of the intro? ie. an image or two with vector graphics that pops out to certain areas. Thanks.:hugegrin:
