Flash: Multimedia Greeting Card

Today we're going to be making a "Multimedia Greeting Card" in Adobe Flash.  The idea is that we will have a scene playing with a button that will take readers to the next scene.  When they click and open the next scene, there will be a button to close the card (and return to the main scene).

Requirements:

• Custom Mouse Pointer
• Card Cover (stops for button click)
• Card Inside (stops for button click)
• Buttons that change on "mouseover"
• Some sort of animated element (i.e. a movie clip that plays on one of the pages)

There are a couple codes that you can use for this:

Stop Button:

stop();

Button Code:

on(release){
 gotoAndPlay('Wherever');
}

Mouse Pointer Code:

onClipEvent (load) {
Mouse.hide();
startDrag(this, true);
}
onClipEvent(mouseMove){
updateAfterEvent();
}

We will be working on this project this week.

The following is an example of the "Multimedia Greeting Card":

Here is a Multimedia Greeting Card Template, which you can open in Flash and customize it to be your own.  In the "spirit of the holidays" I have even added the ActionScript in for you.  :)
