My first blog post ever

Well ! This is my first blog post ever ? not sure what to write since I am just setting the site up and posting some of my old work, but I will keep it updated.
 
I was just working on the custom CMS which I am developing for fanslogon.com there were some minor errors in the login and register section, I have fixed that and will email Stan shortly about the project updates.
 
Since this is my first post, lets see what comes next, may be after a couple of days ? months ? or may be where this site will be after a couple of years ? But I am pretty confident that I will post quality content for the readers and they will certainly benefit from this part of the world as well :)
 
ok, I guess I should stop writting and goto create new categories and post content to it, so for now take care :)

Understanding Flash MovieClip() object

What is a MovieClip()..

MovieClip() is just like a SPRITE in swish. You put all your animations in a single object. When you make a simple animation its hard for you to move you animation to a specific place, so the solution is to make a MovieClip() which will contain animation, and you can easily move it on any space.


Making a MovieClip()
I will make movieClip(), which will be easy for you to understand..
Follow the steps..

1. Draw a rectangle. (you can make any object circle or rectangle)..
2. Select it and convert it to MovieClip by pressing F8 or goto
menu Insert and select Covert to Symbol, and from that box
click on option Movie Clip

3. Now you movieClip() is ready, but you have to modify it.

now we will make a smiple animation in MovieClip() and place it anywhere in our SWF file

1. Double click on rectangle.Now you are in the MovieClip().
2. Select the whole area of rectangle with Arrow Tool
3. Now convert it to a graphic symbol, goto menu Insert and click
on Covert to Symbol. And from that popup window, select Graphic
option.

 

Now your rectangle is a graphic symbol.
4. RightClick on frame number 20 and selcect Insert Keyframe.
5. Now LeftCilck on frame number 20, and drag your rectangle to any
other position, put it in the left botton corner.
6. Now rightclick on any frame between frame number 1 and 20, and select
Create Motion Tween.
7. Double click on outside the rectangle..

Now simply drag your MovieClip and place it anywhere in your movie.
Hope it helps..

are blurry, not clear. It is because you donot set the image quality from
the Publish Settings.

File
