It's me again!!
Still here...still learning. Thanks for the help you guys gave me last time I had a question. I like this community, and I have yet to find a posting board elsewhere that can help me with my questions (as someone here suggested.) So if no one minds I'd like to keep asking my questions here. :)
So I made a simple flash file just to teach myself the basics. It's a fish tank with a little fish in it. Right now all he does is swim across the screen and some bubbles float up. Here are my questions:
1. I'm still a little unsure of how to do mouse effects. It seems much simpler in Swish, but I'm sure I just have to get used to the different layout. How can I have it so that when the fish is clicked on, it does some sort of different animation? Say I want it to do a flip in the water and then go back to swimming back and forth. Do I need to save that separate animation as something else?
2. I have bubbles float up to the surface of the water. I want them to disappear after they leave the top of the tank, but I don't know of an easy way to do it. (The bubbles are a separate layer from the tank, and I think they have to be if they are animated and the tank is not, right?)
3. Do most people actually create most of their pictures in Flash MX, or are other programs really just better for making the actual images?
4. This isn't a terribly important question, but it's driving me crazy...how do you delete additional rings (for lack of a better word) once you've added them to the radial or linear option on the Color Mixer menu?
Thanks again!!!
