Flash Symbols

In flash they are three different types of symbols. Each one has a different use when building a website or a flash movie. The symbols are Graphics, Movieclips and Buttons.
Graphics
- A graphic symbol is usually used to make an animation. They are static images. In flash any type of text, drawings or photos can be converted to a graphic symbol.However once you make a graphic symbol, it cannot be clicked on. Graphic symbols only take up one frame in the time line.
Movieclips
-
Movieclips are used to make a flash animation. They are reusable also, and can be controlled by using actionscript. In actionscript you can edit anything for the movieclips. Movieclips have their own timeline and is seperate from the orginial timeline but have the same features.
Buttons
-Buttons have four frames in the timeline. The four frames allow you to create what happens once you click the button. Each of these frames designs the action of the button once it is created. These buttons can be used to make your own website.They respond to mouse clicks, key press, or other actions.

My First Client's Proposal


Our interview with our client Phantom Hive was very informative.We discussed how they wanted us to build their websites and their expectations.Our clients website would be about candy and toys and to sell them Together we came up with ideas on what the website would look like. Our client wanted us to make the website bright and colorful so it would attract the reader and keep its interest by providing information and the types of products. Our client wanted a part where the reader would be able to make their own candy. We learned a lot from Phantom Hive and we know what they want and how to do it.
