Sliders?

[Judy Miller]

I have been discovering that the only way to get a handle on all the new Flash 

features is to dive in a play.

I am creating a interactive colour theory lesson to place on our web site.


It will consist of a colour wheel, that can have overlays of colur layed on top 

to teach the concepts of glazing and toning colour, mixing shading and tinting 

etc.....


I created the interface for it yesterday and today. I now want to start playing 

with the buttons. What I want to do is create a button for each of the 12 

colour families for example for the colour glazing lesson. Colour disks of 

various transparency levels can be placed over the colour wheel to see how a 

colour will affect another colour when added to it,

I want to be able to place as many colours as desired with a sliding scale of 

opacity.

So for example, a person can place 20% red over the wheel and then add 10% 

green over that to see how that would affect the colour.


Is there any way I could implement sliding buttons as opposed to clickable 

ones, so that they can slide the button up the scale from 1 to 100% or would I 

have to increment it and have forward and back buttons.


I am assuming that I will be doing this using Tell Target. I haven't tried 

either Tell Target or Load Movie commands yet, so this will be fun.


I am supposed to be painting designs to submit to teach at a convention next 

year, but I am having too much fun with this new Flash. I haven't had enough 

time with it, but just by judging from what I have seen, there seems to be SO 

much more functionality to it and just from an artistic perspecitve, the 

ability to use transparencies is just phenominal.


Thanks for listening,
