More ActionScript for Designers Support
The tutorial showed you how to add actions to the Actions panel and how to use buttons to trigger the commands. If you're new to ActionScript and haven't completed the Basic ActionScript tutorial, I would recommend reading it before you continue.
In this tutorial, we'll get a bit more adventurous and look at:
- Controlling the appearance of movie clips
- Dragging movie clips
- Loading an external JPEG image into a movie
- Loading an external SWF file into a movie
- Displaying "Quote of the Day" text
To complete the tutorial, you'll need to know how to work with the Timeline, add keyframes and enter ActionScript in the Actions panel. You should also be able to create buttons, add text and movie clips as well as knowing how to publish movies.
