Hi all, I have been using Photoshop as my Flash animation program. I used CS2 as it had an 'Export to Flash SWF' feature but CS3 dropped this so I'm looking for something similar.
Basically what I want to do, is add the text (in this case I'm making before and after images). So out of 2 JPEGS, or better still, layer them all (4 layers, 2 text layers and 2 image layers (which are before and after editing). And simply merge them with a nice transition that just blends one to the other when someone mouseovers the image.
Kind of like this one.... http://www.lisacleverley.com/blog/2008/04/16/test-for-flash-swf/ (see the transition?) or this one... www.lisacleverley.com (in the middle boxes).
I still have CS2 (on a different computer) but the transition seems to add in white now and it's not nice. i.e. if it was black background it would go a touch white during the transition and back again. That bugs me so I'm looking for a program where I can open up the JPEGs and blend them with a nice transition and save them as SWF/Flash. Or better still open as PSD and just edit from there.
I already downloaded Adobe Flash CS3 but I couldn't make no head nor tail of it. I couldn't seem to animate how I wanted. I just want it to change to the 'after' layer when someone mouse overs and back again to before when they're mouse moves off the image. I know how to do this with HTML coding (see here) but I want it in Flash for the site and blog.
Thanks for reading.
