My motive is to create a flash website for a game purpose. I would really like to learn to create flash website, simply because was tremendously amazed by all those flash websites out there. They just made my jaw dropped. I've been using the search button and google a lot. But I can't really find a guide for pure beginner like me. I will be using Flash CS5, can anyone of you, send me a link of guide for pure beginner in flash * no idea where to begin with*. Thanks in advance!
Well if youre a beginner and want to create a kick-azz gaming site then youre in for a ride. I suggest you just purchase a template and start with that...... and alot of tutorials
Its such a fun ride my friend.
Just imagine you have one frame that is a full website page. and then you have only one layer. so its a basic index page like http://google.com/index.html lol.
But with flash you can put a layer on top of that page or on the bottom of that page.
or you can make a movie clip and make a play action video with frame by frame images inside a movieclip. is a endless ride. and nothing can stop your imagination.
What you reallly want to learn ar the commands and code of it all learn gotoAndStop(frame); gotoAndPlay(frame);
understand where you are at in the movie clip for example if your website link is http://google.com/index.html and a image on that page directs you to http://google.com/profile.html your movie clips should do the same.
inside flash when you first start know where you are. at first you are in the _root of the project. I don't think you should use _root all that much but _parent works just a well.
example say you have a movie clip with instance name mcindex
and inside that movie clip you have a new movieclip called mciregister
you would link you frames like this _parent.mcindex.mciregister._visible = true; or something. Thats the whole key learning positions of where your at inside the project.
and learning code. and have creativity with your movieclips and buttons and frames to create a good looking movie website.
and also learn about tweens say you have a box on frame one and you want that box to move across the screen so you would make a new frame on the same timeline say frame 30 and you would insert a new frame. now your box is in the same location on both frames.
just move frame 30 box some where and create a tween.
then the movieclip will move that box from point a to point b and it will not stop unless you add some action scrip to it.
Goodluck.
