1st Attempt at Flash.......

Heyhoe · 08-01-2004, 06:02 PM

This is not currently on my site but it is my first ever attempt at flash links. i used Flash MX and it took me around 30 minutes in all (making 3 pictures for each link took the longest)

How does it look? will it look right on my site?

here it is ...... http://www.thedinghy.co.uk/ter/site/...lashbanner.swf

The text is very blurred. You could do this by just having rollovers. Id try to improve the clarity of the links and add movie clip behaviours to the buttons, to engage the user more. Consider rollout actions too. Nice try though for the first attempt :claps:

i am with Fusion on the blurry text and maybe space the letters a bit on the porsche font, another thing why make this in flash, I would only make things in flash if i want to make something that i cant do otherwise, but it is a good job for the first attempt

You don't have to use Bitmap images in flash, the glow effect is easily manipulated in Flash.

How would you get the blur?

thanks for the feedback. i know what you mean about the text being blurry, i am working on a new one now. I did it in flash because my banner has to be an image, its e107.

That site is weird it keeps refreshing.

it was because of the messenger needed to refresh. but i have changed the time between refreshes so it is every minute now..
