» Title: Creative DW Image Show PRO
» Description: Creative DW Image Show PRO is a Dreamweaver extension which enables the user to create multimedia presentations. It combines the features of the popular Creative DW Image Show with the ability to add professional text effects to slides (similar to After Effects). The product is very customizable: the user can choose the duration of the transition effects, the slide motion start and end position, zoom and panning type for both images and texts.
Now we need to create the buttons which change the cursor.
Draw how you want your button to look and convert it to a button instance by pressing the "F8" key on your keyboard. Copy the button (CTRL+C) and Paste it (CTRL+V) as many times as you want buttons. For example: I want 4 buttons for 4 cursors, so i pasted it 4 times).
Put the buttons where you want on the stage and label them with what you want each button to change your cursor to.
STEP 3 - The Cursor Movie Clip
Now you've done the buttons, we need the cursor movie clip itself. Create a new movie clip and call it whatever you want, I called mine "Cursor MC". Give it an instance name of "cursor". Go into the movie clip and create as many frames as you have cursors (I have 4 cursors so i created 4 frames). On each frame, put one of your cursor graphics (make sure they are all in the same place on each frame). Write stop(); in each of the frames actions. Now create one more blank frame and give it the action stop(); and give it the frame label "default". (Make sure the blank frame is the first frame of the movie clip).
Now go back into the main movie.
I've been a flash developer for about 2-3 years now, i never realised how complicated it would be :S I prefer making games to animations, but I'll try anything once :)
