Re: FLASH: question

[David Grissett]

Get rid of the tween and have a symbol with 3 or 5 frames. Build your own

shapes (if they are simple enough to construct) and place each one in their

own frame.

Yes, this will make the final file bigger and it's tedious. But it may work

out beautifully; plus you could preload it if it's set up as a movie.


Another option - create your animation in a 3D program. constrain the object

movements to "X" and "Y" axis. Render out wireframe images of the whole

animation. (BMP works best, hopefully the 3D program can number them

sequentially (Perhaps Shane Sanders has some time on his hands))

(Don't forget the fps rate of your Flash movie!)

Then import them into Flash. Flash will recognize file names with numeric

endings!

Trace those bitmaps! Leave the final vector images in their own frames. Like

the previous suggestion, have individual images so you can preload the movie

and be kind to the end user's CPU. Remember, they'll love you for it! :)


A lavish site which is more time consuming to construct but I think your

love is
