Developing a training video

[sebnak]

I want to develop a simple training video in which your mouse poiner moves on the screen automatically and a sound is placed in the background explaining the description of each item
Moreover when the mouse describe about a particular item ,the item blink for a sec

how to go for the design - timeline, actionscripts,screens,scenes

Note ->there is only one screen

First, do not crosspost, you will not get help that way, it only makes people annoyed.

Second, you are asking a question which doesn't have an answer.
At least, no single answer, it could be read and interpreted in several ways.

There's no best way of doing what you asked, it's a matter of your preference, and knowledge. AS would be preffered, but much easier would be using 'frame labels', not scenes.

Also, before you do anythig, do an extensive search on, 'custom mouse pointer', 'setInterval', and anything else your movie would need, I am sure all those questions are already answered.

Well, I never heard of a piece of scripts which actually adjusts the x and/or y of your mouse. So I guess you'd have to use "Mouse.hide()" [when you want the mouse to be visible again you'd have to use "Mouse.show()"].

Next thing is finding a bitmap of the mousepointer [tip: look somewhere in the panel where you can change settings for your mouse] and make a movieclip of the imported bitmap...

And doing motion tweens with guides and stuff, if you don't know how to do things like that: check the beginners' tutorials.

Then about the blinking: just play with the _alpha or _visible properties of the movieclips and stuff...

Hope this helps you - Ruben
