page turn, curtain open

[informed1]

Hi Everyone,

I am new to flash but not programming. I am trying to do a the page turning trick as well as opening a curtain onto a stage. I bought a few flash books but it has been a challenge and I need to do this urgently. Anyone has any ideas of tutorials online with step by step guide to creating an animation like the one I described using flash 8.

Thanks

The quickest way to do a page turn is to create a symbol of your page, then save this as an movie clip. Open the movie clip and make a frame-by-frame animation (with a stop(); on the last frame).

If your timeline has the original page symbol in place and a button to turn the page, add a keyframe with a label (such as page turn) and swap the original page for the page turn mc on this frame. Then use a simple goto on your button such as

my_bt.onRelease=function() {
gotoAndStop("page turn");
}

I have just used this on a site myself: http://www.angelevents.co.uk/Diary/eventorganisers.htm

Hope it helps you.
