Today we played around with flash and worked out how to pan and zoom images. First we re-sized the images we used in photoshop and then imported them into flash. We then added rulers and put guidelines on the sides of the iphone screen size. We then converted the images into a movie clip and moved the images into position and created a new keyframe on frame 50. We then made the image larger and focused on the clock tower, after that we clicked on any frame between 1 and 50 and right clicked and selected 'create classic tween'. This made the computer generate a zoom effect from the starting point to the end pint. Then with the second image we did the same thing except we just moved the image to the other side of the iphone screen instead of zooming in. If you then follow the same steps to make a zoom effect you get a pan effect.
Next we looked at making a button. First we made a square shape and converted it to a button the same way we convert bitmaps into movie clips. We then went into the button and edited the four states; up, over, down, and hit. Up is the normal state of the button, over is when your mouse hover's over the button, down is when you click and hit is the area that counts as the button, even if its transparent.
In my flash animation I intend to use buttons since they seem easy to work and a good way to make my work interactive. I don't think I'll be using pans or zooms though.
