Transitions

I see a whole lot of flash sites that do transitions between different sections. For example, when it first loads, there is a picture on the left that fades or slides in. Then when you click something, it slides back or fades back out and maybe another picture come in its place … or even lines will slide across and replace the current pic with something new.

Is the main concept of this using seperate swfs and loading them depending on the action, and if so, how do you trigger that second animation inside the first picture? Am i even making sense … im starting to confuse myself :hair:

Here is an example of basically what i want to do
Mario - after launching the flash site, click gallery … see how he slides away, and so forth.

There was a whole thread on this recently posted by Soulty and I. There are some sample fla files on that thread that should give you an idea. Here is the link:

Thanks again! Youre all over the place around here, helping me out :slight_smile:

Whenever I finish this site (which probably wont be soon), I’ll post the url here so you can see my first attempt at some real flash. Here is probably the only thing I’ve done in Flash … it was like a test some guy gave me as an interview for a job, and then he didnt hire me because i lived too far away, and he thought i would have problems relocating :frowning:

oh that’s not bad at all, pretty clean and organized. Seems like you know what you’re doing, that’s a shame he didn’t hire you…oh well, his lost. =)

Thanks … I think it was ok … i did it all pretty fast, but I think once i get a hang of some of these more advanced concepts, I’ll be a lot better.

Well you’ve came to the right place to learn, this is where I come to learn and I’m still learning. =)
