A.  Blog entry – 19/06/2013. importing video into flash, adding skin to video , adding button to stage, coding the button

B. Development work

I started by opening adobe flash professional and selected action script 3.0. I imported one of my .FLV video files. to do this I clicked on file and then import video. I browsed my H drive until I found the video file I needed. I selected a new skin so that it would be appealing to users. the skin I chose was miniaflatcustomcolorplaybackseekcountervolmute.swf. I then clicked finish so that the video would appear with my selected skin. I resized the video by right clicking on it and selecting free transform tool. I renamed the layer to scene1 by double clicking on the layer I then added a button onto the first frame of the scene1 layer by selecting windows menu, common libraries and then buttons. I then changed the instance name of the button to btnunloadfim in the properties window. I added a new layer and put it to the top and renamed it code. I saved the file to my project folder. I right clicked on the first frame of the code layer and selected actions and entered the code and then saved it again in my project folder so that it would create an FLA file. I then clicked file and then publish so that a .SWF file was created in my project folder. I repeated the steps four more times because I had another four videos to do. I also repeated the steps for the full movie videos as well.


C. How the development work will fit into the brief – in my client brief I said I would have video clips on the different stages and that you would be able to watch the full film. I also said that the IMP will be easy to use and user friendly, I have done this by using buttons so that users can navigate around the different stages.
