Macromedia FP 8 - Application

[Leonardo]

I was wondering if it's possible to make an interactive application using Flash 8. It has to be an application, cause I'm making an application for a school project.

It depends,

what type of application.

[Leonardo]

Like an interactive one with working flash buttons.

Well of course, application as in like a Game or just a Form?
All it takes is very basic actionscript knowledge, please be more specific,
if you have any questions on how to do it I can teach you :)

An application... a pop-up downloadable application that has working flash buttons and links you to the next section.

Like if you click THIS button, it will return you to THAT button.

This and That are the name of the buttons.

Of course you can, would you like me to create a flash file for you, with actionscript?

Give you an example of what it will look like?
Its very easy to just make pages,

Create a button on a frame, Right click > Add Symbol = Button = ButtonNext or anything you want to name it.

Now you have a symbol, you can write aS on this symbol such as.
on(Release) {
gotoAndPlay(2)
}

Im not quite sure if thats the right code I would have to check, but
(2) tells flash to go to the frame 2.

And remember on each Frame (Not symbol/button) to add the stop() actionscript :p

Tell me if you need help!

Open Flash.

Create whatever type of question you want, or whatever. CLick the frame where you added it. Now add this code into the Actions: stop();

Now make the button, and select it, press F8, and make it a "Button". Now go to the actions panel of the button (F9) and add: on(release){
gotoAndPlay(2)
}

Now make the second frame, and do the same thing. Background music, background images, etc, can be added in differecnt layers.

[Leonardo]

So this is just actionscripting?

[ThePawnDragon]

Yes. Unless you would like to use a pre-made template, by going to File>Open From Template> And just choose anything.

[PiNGPaWN]

So this is just actionscripting?

Before you actionscript you have to have buttons
but yeah... to make pages all you need to know are pretty
much 2 4 lines of actionscript..

on(Release) {
gotoAndPlay(Frame)
}

and

stop()

[ThePawnDragon]

Or if you just wangt them to rollover it, and make it go to ythe frame,


on(rollOver){
gotoAndPlay(Frame)
}
