» 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.
Before we start
constructing our menu in Flash, we first need to create our buttons and button
cover in a graphics package. It can be constructed just as easily within Flash,
but I have chosen a 3rd party graphics package to give the graphics a bit more
depth...in this case I have used Fireworks 3 (as it is a macromedia product
and integrates seamlessly with Flash and Dreamweaver), but any of the good graphics
packages (PaintShop Pro, PhotoShop, PhotoSuite. etc) will perform just as well.
Tip:
PaintShop Pro provides
a simple 'buttonize' effect if you don't want to spend too long on the graphics.
