I’ve been self-learning Flash for a little while now. I’ve built presentation portfolios for myself to be used on CD. Now, I plan to stick a portfolio site up on the web. I’m sure my inquiry is a basic question, but it’s something that I’ve apparently missed or don’t quite understand.
Let me give you a visualization. Let’s say I have a menu on the page with menu titles such as “About Me”, “Portfolio”, “Resume”, etc. Now imagine the user has clicked on “About Me”. Effects happen, and that section loads. Okay. Now the user clicks on the “Portfolio” menu item. (This is where my question resides.) Before the “Portfolio” section loads, effects happen while exiting the “About Me” section. Then and new set of effects begin leading into the “Portfolio” section. How do I create this?
I know several sites include this feature. For example, New Ezra uses this. See how there are effects occurring while the site enters the “Home” section. Then, when you click on a different option, such as “Portfolio”, there are “exiting” effects from the “Home” section, then new effects occur while entering the “Portfolio” section.
I hope I’ve explained myself clearly enough. In the past, I’ve created separate scenes to display these transitions. That is a long and tedious process, and I know there is a much simpler method.
I appreciate your help!
Best Regards,
zink
