Flash

Rasberry Ripple · 07-05-2005, 09:34 AM

I am trying to understand how flash works. I have been able to get the image to move about (making the movie) but when I save it, and put it on the web page, the whole Flash page shows.

Can someone give me some idea on how I get the page to just be the size of the picture.

This is driving me insane!!! Please would someone help!

Thank you.

Thanx for that....you have given me a point in the right direction.

Will keep trying....I recon I am almost there!

I've managed to get that one sorted! I can scroll words and move pictures.

How do I make an image bubble. I will try and explain myself. Like you have a word and then a transparent circle makes it bubble forward. And how do I twist a word? So many good ideas to try out with flash....but so little experience or brain to actually work it out.

What do you think of the book, "Flash for Dummies"...any good? Or is there a simpler one you could recommend?

Really appreciate your help.

I am not really sure on that, as I do not have very much experience with Flash.

As for the book, I have never read it. I did take a class on Flash animation, though. It taught me the basics, but I have forgotten most of the things I learned now

If you can find a class like that it would be one of the best ways to learn.

You could also try one of those Flash forums, like http://www.flashkit.com/board/forumd....php?forumid=2

Sorry if that didn't really help too much

Flash takes a lot of practice to get good at.

Be more specific: You need help zooming in and out on Flash that is embedded in a website, zooming in and out in Flash MX, or zooming in and out in your actual animation?

zooming in and out in your actual animation

Sorry, I never really did get good at doing animations, so I don't really know. Its pretty hard, and I didn't really care about doing it any longer so I pretty much just gave it up.
