I’ve done a photoshop template for a website, again, I’m just a rookie at flash, so this site has been my learning resource :mario:
I’ve trying to get my template to work in flash, what i’m trying to acheive is those black buttons on the side, animated. When clicked i want some text to flash into any three of the boxes in the middle. I have checked the tutorials on this site, however i’m puzzled how to creat the black buttons into symbols and to actualy creat a button out of them. http://www.cryolitestudios.com/personal/oran.jpg
I’ve seen this site http://www.dti-us.com/ (opeleg, I hope you don’t mind me using your site as an example :bandit: )
When you click those grey buttons on the right, it opens up text into that box. That is exactly the type of flash I’m looking for. If someone could help my out with this, it would be apreciated nig time! Please could you leave behind a .fla file so i could see how you did it :toad:
K, I probably got no business posting a reply, cuz I have really no idea what I’m doing 75% of the time. But I have something similiar on my site.
You do this:
on (rollOver) {
_root.home.gotoAndPlay(2);
}
on (rollOut) {
_root.home.gotoAndPlay(22);
}
“home” is the name of the MC, and (2) and (22) are the frame numbers w/in that movie clip.
as far as the buttons, there are tons of tuts on here for that…that’s how I got it.
Hopefully someone else will reply to this thread too, just to check what I said…cuz like I said, I’m new…but it worked for me.
Doesn’t quite answer my question, but thanks for trying mate
I understand the code part of it all, put i need to make the button from the actual template. Do i have to mask the same over the current black buttons to make them into symbols and then into buttons?
Please read my above post, as I’m realy puzzled on how to procede
K, I just did that today. It probably is ghetto, but it worked perfectly.
I just took the original jpeg (template) and cropped around the button. Then I saved that as a second jpeg, then imported into flash…saving that as a symbol.
Probably figured that out by now. But I’ve had too much fun today making a template. Thanks for the motivation.
but then how do you get that button back into the template? And make it sure, that when the button is clicked, it opens up text ontop of those boxes in the middle.
