For this assignment, we were too create a Flash based web site.

By now, we've learned to use the different tween types, along with buttons and some basic Actionscript. One of the biggest challenges with Flash over a 'static' web site is the use of the timeframes.  You have to choreograph everything right, or you could end up in real trouble.

I create a website for the fictional 'DT cellars' wine store, and used www.operamage.com as an inspiration site. This project required a lot of Photoshop work, and I had a challenge taking wine bottles with a white background and placing them on a dark background.

In addition, I also embedded timelines within a symbol rather than on the main timeline. It just seemed to make sense.

Another issue is that I had some animation for the main page. I would use the 'after animation is done' look for the other scenes.

Oh, and check out the champagne glass.

Turns out, I shouldn't have used an opening scene. I wish the instructor were more clear on these sorts of things. Your best bet is to introduce the various elements to the homepage instead. Oh, and use the Flash drawing primitives as much as you possibly can. Animating imported graphics will cause you lose marks if there ANY jaggies at all.
