Whee! Finally learning some flash!

[Vexir]

Okay so I finally decided to learn Flash (haha for about the 5th time)

but this time I actually made something :P

All on my own too! :)

Check it out, it's my first flash experiment! :cap:

Try putting some hit states in the buttons...they are irritating to click on without em.

[Vexir]

They are movie clips actually... I didn't want to make them buttons because then that would remove the actionscript on em which makes them bounce and load the movie :-\

What should I do?

[BoonDock]

you still need hit states for the buttons, regardless if they are movie clips ;)
... look up the tutorial other than that, you need some content or somethin before we can really critique...its all kind of bland right now

Boon out~ :sleep:

[fasterthanlight™]

if not hit states, put a 0% alpha rectangle behind the letters within the movieclip so that someone doesnt have to rollover the actual letter.

[BoonDock]

yeah (a "fake" hit state) ;)

Since you're new I might have two options that could help you out without too much work. Check out how how much time it takes for all the buttons to appear. Add it to your timeline frames and after they all stop jumping, insert a keyframe a put a button for each section. Then you can edit the hit area of the buttons...

The other one is to get inside each movie clip and at the end of the animation put a keyframe and copy or retype the text of the button, convert it to a button symbol and edit the hit area.

Hope this can help you out. And if someone else have other options, just bring 'em on! :)

Make sure that when you have clicked on a button to view a page, that you can't click on that button again to keep reloading the page...just something simple to change ;)

Okay well I tried this:



if (_root.contents.loadMovie("home.swf")) {
}
else {
on (release) {
_root.contents.loadMovie("home.swf");
}
}


Why won't it work?
