RE: FLASH: StarWars Scroll

It all depends on what you want that text to do Sharon... :)


If it is a sequence i.e. an animation - yes - you can import all the frames

into Flash3 as individual images (I found that *.bmp or *.png are the better

formats for both size and quality issues).  Once you imported these images

you will have to align them exactly (each in it's own frame to ensure you do

not have any jumps in the animation) - to make the alignment easier - make

sure that the images are all exactly the same size ... then once imported,

make symbols of them (F8 - create symbol) - this way you have a middle point

to work from :)


BUT... once again!! - it is conflict between "nice effects" and "downloading

time".  Try to keep your images both small and to a limited number of

images... remember that many countries do not have good bandwidth or phone

infrastructures and that downloading an image can take considerable time...


If you really want to do this make sure that you have a good and "well

planned" loader that actually stops the animation from playing till it is

fully loaded... (see the "If frame is loaded" frame action)  This loader

should also without taking a lot of bandwidth - keep the recipient's

interest... I have been to a lot of flash sites that does not have such

loaders ... it generally looks amature if the movie drags in frame by

frame... cause the designer used big images. :))

Can you create the perspective text in segments in Photoshop - then import 

into flash as objects that scroll and fade?
