Create a simple template with Flash 8

In this article we will see how can we create the template with Flash 8 (structure only) of a mini site consists of a navigation bar, whose keys will open the pages consist of flash movies.

We begin by achieving a single button.

We realize as we like the graphics of the button and use our creativity and design tools that Flash provides us.

Once the graphic is ready select the created object and press [F8] to create our button object. Then select the voice button, insert the name of the object (for example, button1) and give a confirmation.

Double click on the button and enter in the properties of the button you just created.

As we can see in the timeline we have states (on, over, down, down). The state contains the drawing of the button in its keyframe.

Now insert a new keyframe in the frame of the state above, then modify the colors, for example.

Since now we have limited ourselves to create the image of the button if there is interaction and the mouse passes over (rollover).

Now we have to insert a text to our button ID. Create a new layer overlapping the first containing the graphic and insert in the up state and then to the above, a text box (making sure that you are in the same location) and type the name (in the example page 1).

We are in a situation like this:

At this point we pass to the duplication of the button to make the navigation bar.

We go to the library of objects [Ctrl + L] (as we see our only object is the button1), and duplicate our button1, as many times as we want both pages to our site, and with a simple right click select duplicates.

Rename our copies to make them recognizable (for example, Button2, pulsante3, Button4, etc. ...).

Now drag the new buttons in the scene and disponiamoli created at will. As we can see our buttons have the same text in them, as exact copies of each other.

In a logical order, let's rename the text of each button, making a double click and acting on the frames to the texts of the states and above.

Once we got renamed pusanti a navigation bar like this:

Now we create the pages which will link our buttons.
