More Flash

During my flash adventure last night I figure out that even though the canvas size is set in flash, it will show things outside this area. ANNOYING! So that means that I basically had to start again because in my learning I was a bit messy around the outsides of the frames and things were just super painful!

So I started again. I re-did the imports and made sure the photoshop files were easier to use in flash, and started again. I am finished with that part of it now. But I want to make some of the images which look a bit crap look better. I also want to try and figure out whether I can  make the "next" wait a bit if that makes sense. Some of my frames you have to click a button twice, but I really just wanted it to look like once you clicked it, it changed colour so the user knew it had been clicked, but then you have to click again to get to the next slide because otherwise the button wouldn't light up. I wondered if I could have the one click, a pause for a few seconds and then it moves on without having a click.

I am going to see about the workshop today and if I can get some help there.
Also I want to figure out how to get it working on my cell phone, but it's not working how I want. My phone (and apps I have) say it supports swf, and flash, but then I can't get it to open! So that's a bit annoying!

So anyway, I stayed up late making sure the photoshop files and coding in flash everything was in place, so at least my pathway works and shows the features of my app. I wish I knew more on flash so I could do really awesome things!

Presentation tomorrow - Ek! I'm definitely going to the tutorial shortly!

This is what I have so far - I am a little disappointed with how it looks in swf file, the quality has been taken down a notch which is lllaaaammmee, as I don't have time to re-do everything to get it to look better. :(
