The website - Using Flash

Here are a number of screenshots showing my progress through Flash majing the website. I have used Flash before, but never to make a website, I had to use guides and books to educate myself around the buttons controls and the scripting.

Here I am creating the buttons using the gradient tool, to create a 3d metalic looking button, and I have used a boarder on the box, and also have the text prepared to include with it.

To turn images into functional buttons requires turning it into a button, and then choosing settings of how you want it to react when and mouse interacts with it.
Flash uses many different channels and frames to build your work on, using "keyframes" which tells the program which keys will display what infomation.

This is the page with the students, which as a group we took photos of the class in the studio, and added a name tag to each one. I made these into buttons so they rediret the flash movie to the individuals webapge.


This shows the keyframes which is the structure of how flash works, there are over 110 layers used to make this website, each with different infomation on them for different webpages.

This is my individual page, and I have used a "Roll Over" system which i programed to work when the user hovers the mouse over a given image/text. There are 3 work examples, and when you roll the mouse over each of them the image of that work and a discription pops up without the user needing to click.

Here shows the initial programing of the "Roll over"
This here shows the ActionScript, which is the coding that tells the movie what to do, and act like a webpage. This coding I had to research and learn what it does, and apply it to my webpage in the correct place. This took alot of trial and error, firstly it being my first time doing this, and also tutoring myself.
