Click to see the final project - Fordstone.swf
One of the problems Flash designers confront
when creating complex animations is the sheer size of the
final product. If there were a way to create several Shockwave
files and have them accessible by one compact Shockwave
file, you could have faster loading animations and greater
flexibility. For example, you could build a Shockwave interface
for a Real Estate Web site that links to dozens of Shockwave
files on individual properties. As the portfolio of properties
change it would be easy to add a new button to the interface
and drop a new Shockwave file into a folder. Flash makes
this fast and painless if you use the 'Load Movie' and
'Tell Target' script actions.
Fordstone Automobiles Goes Online
For this tutorial I created a Web site for fictional automobile company announcing
the release of it's car models for the year 64,230,210 BC. For this project
I worked on the 'Flintrock Coupe' model only. As you will see this is inspired
by the famous 60s cartoon series.

Frame 1 of Fordstone_Cars.swf

The 'Fordstone_Cars.swf' file is a 10 frame
animation with 'Stop' actions at frames 1, 5 and 10. I
also added a 'Frame Label' named '5' on FRAME 5.
