Create a mini-presentation Flash

Non occorre conoscere a menadito actionscript 3.0 o linguaggi di programmazione elaborati per creare una mini animazione in flash. Ecco alcuni suggerimenti per creare in modo semplicissimo una galleria animata fading in and out of your drawings.



For the article I used Flash CS3 as well as other versions behave the same way.

1. Open a new Flash document and from the property we are going to set the main parameters that we want to give our presentations such as: size, background color, number of frames per second (for a presentation like this it tends to stay around 15fs).

2. In the palette of the timeline we have only one level with a dot in the first box. That dot represents our first keyframe. Going on the menu> File> Import to Library, load the images that will affect us for the presentation. From the Library palette (if not displayed in the menu go to Window> Library) make a click on the first image to appear in the opening animation, drag and release the mouse only when we are at the center of the canvas work.

3. Now from the Window menu open the Align panel and press the buttons that allow me the alignment of my image. Right click on the image and choose the option: Convert to Symbol. We convert the image into a movie clip giving a name properly and press ok.

4. Now that we have created our symbol, go to work on the timeline set the path that the image has to do. We click on the squares corresponding to frame 5 (to be checked on the level of image to move) and press F6. This allows you to insert a keyframe at that point. (You will have the same function as the menu Insert> Timeline> Keyframe). We repeat the same procedure on 15-30-45 frames.

5. We click on the first frame and holding the shift key click the last (1-45) to select the entire journey. Right click and choose Create Motion Tween. To confirm our tween on the timeline of the level concerned arrows will appear.

6. We click on the first frame. We click on the canvas and go in the properties panel to set: Color> Alpha percentage 0%.
repeat the same operation by clicking on the frame 45, click on the canvas and modify the alpha.

7. We want to test the movie created so far? Save and do CTRL + Enter (or menu: Control> Test Movie). The sequence should present an image that comes into fade, is fading a little, and disappears.
8. Let's create a new layer above the first and insert a keyframe (F6) in Frame 50 of the timeline at the new level. Drag the second image from the library allineiamola and convert it to movie clip (3).
Now back to level 1, we click on the first frame and holding shift click on the 45th in order to select them all. Right click and Copy Motion. Let's go back to level 2. We click on the keyframe created (50) and selected by holding down the Shift key for 45 frames (must be exactly those under 45 as otherwise copying is not working properly, the first frame of the selection must match the key frame 50). Right click and Paste movement.

Repeating this by creating a layer for each image that you wish to put in the gallery, you get the animation you see at the beginning of the article.
the File menu you can export your movie in swf-mov-avi format or by clicking the Publish option, the program will create the html file ready to be published on the net.
