Creating a Flash button for your sound
board is straight forward if you have your other assets prepared. (2
images that are sized - trimmed audio segments )
before continuing do you have the
following?
 |
Your
2 images for the rollover effect ? (sized to 200p x 200p)
|
|
|
a sound clip of suitable
length ?
|
|
|
If
so then open
FLASH and
start by setting up your "stage" to the dimensions of your
cells
200 x 200 pix (remember your table is 600 pix W x L 3 x 3cells
)
|
|
|
Next Go File Import to
Library and Import your assets to the
library so that
they can be used in your production
|
|
|
Drag and drop your first
image onto the stage and centre it by eye or use the
"align" tool
|
|
|
Now
convert the image
to a button
(Insert - Convert to symbol - BUTTON
) |
 |
Next
double click the first image and go the
intertween and observe 4 frames that
represent the states of a button up -
over - down - hit
(hit = area around button that is active)
|
|
|
Make
each a Key Frame ( not the dot appears )
|
|
|
In
the Over Frame drag the image that will
appear when your mouse is over the button
|
|
|
in the Down Frame drag and drop the
sound clip that you have in the library
in the sound Properties box
below the stage select:
SYNC - Event
|
|
|
If you want the sound to play when you
mouse over the button then place the sound in the OVER frame
|
Now
go File > Publish preview - Default ... and test your button
If it works then save and publish your button
Your button will have 2 files an .FLA and
an .SWF file your will insert the
.SWF file into your table
In DreamWeaver Insert - Media - Flash into the cell of your choice
Now you just have to do this 7 more times !!
You will have to upload your 8 buttons and the HTML table document
