» 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.
Notice you can't see that an Action has been assigned to the Button symbols
in Frame 15 (Hint: look at the keyframe for layers Section 1, Section
2, etc. in Frame 15. There are Actions assigned to button symbol
instances... not frames.). Also remember that this timeline stops at Frame 16
because of the assigned action in the layer actions
& labels. This allows the user to make a selection from the menu that has
just been animated onto the screen. The timeline continues to play when a Play
action is issued from the Action assigned to a button symbol instance
once the user releases the mouse. Once the playback head reaches Frame 25 it
encounters a action that tells Flash to go back to and play Frame 1 where
a Stop action is then encountered. This timeline then waits to play again until
the playback head is instructed to move to the frame labeled Activate
Nav.
Background:
The background is no biggie. Using the Background graphic
symbol I just tweened an alpha setting (remember... Instance Properties dialog
box...) between Frames 3 - 15 and Frames 17 - 24. Fade in, fade out. Just create
a new layer below the previous.
Here's a shot of this layer. Keyframes are at Frames 3, 15, 16, 17 and 24.
