Flash Buttons: Movie Control

Create a flash movie that has the following items:

• Three buttons that use action script to start different sections of your movie
• You will have 1.5 class periods to complete this movie -- budget your time!
  • Mrs. Sanchez will be back tomorrow - we'll "debug" any problems and get these finished up
• Here is an example .fla download >>> .swf
• You can also review the movie we made yesterday (shapes) for a review

Hints:

• Add an "actions and labels" layer
  • Add blank keyframes (F7) and put a "stop" action on the first frame
  • Add separate layers for each button that you need
  • Add animations on separate layers with stops (think about the circle and square layers from yesterday)
• Label the key frames of your movie (remember the "startCircle" label
• Your movies will use "Timeline Control" to go to and play the various sections (marked by frame labels)

Review Video:

• Link to video
• Remember -- this is the older version of flash -- now the properties panel is on the side, and the timeline at the bottom of the screen. To insert actions, you can right-click on the item (like a button) and select actions
• If you need to review buttons, you can watch other videos on mrssanchez.com
