What program and what type of project would u need to use to create a flash movie like traxor's banana - cant touch this...i am interested in flash, have the programs and would like to create a movie such as this but cant figure out wat to use...can u please help?

I am not really sure if Traxor's banana was made in Flash...it was like somewhat just a gif animation software or so...


Indeed, the best software to develop a flash file is Macromedia's Flash. Powerful, many things adjustable yet that means many things to learn.

SWiSHmax is quite good if you want something easy to learn. People say SWiSH is only for text effects but I think it does many things far beyond that

There are tons of tutorials on internet so, Google's always your friend

I developed my flash animations using Macromedia Flash MX, its quite a simple program, just break down the emoticons and safe the transparent flash frame, and import each one to the library , where did you get the idea that I used a gif animation program mnjul?

as traxor already knows, im making a website for flash animations, i know how to use flash simply, but im not sure how to do sum of the more complicated stuff....if u cud point me to a tutorial that is gd it wud help me

Just search google for flash mx tutorials. you should find a lot of tutorials.

i have produced the movie layer. how would i add sound...in mp3? i can convert it to wav. if needed

i dont know wot file extension is needed but do this:
File->Import->Import To Library->Select the file You Want

Then go to Window->Library

The 'Library' should show up...it should have the sound file in it

You may want to make a new layer for the sound.

With that layer selected, go to the library and click and drag the sound file onto te stage.

A blue wavy line should appear in the timeline.

Then click on the start of the sound file and drag it to where u want it to start.

There is probably a quicker way to do this but i dont know it
I hope this helps, if u get stuck, just let me know

here is a screenshot that mite help u

thanx for the layer tip. it works betta i fink...but wen i press test project the song plays but the starts agen...so its got the original playin then the new one playin so both are playin at diferent points of the song.....why is it doing this??
sorry if dats confusing...basically it plays then the song plays agen over the original song playing....

errm add the action script to stop all sounds before starting the new sound like add the action script into the first frame of a new keyframe should look like

---------------------------------------------------
old sound           | A New Sound
________________________________

where they are both key frame sets and the A is an action script in that frame

woooahhh way to advance for me...thanks tho...

*blinks*

send me your .fla and i'll fix it

fukafly@gmail.com either e-mail or msn messenger both same addy

YOu can ask me to fix it any time, aswell, but I also need the sound gfile possibly.

* aNILEator slaps traxor around a bit with a large trout.

It will be in the library in the .fla well it should be

oh yea, silly me

if anyone needs help with flash i'm your man, fukafly here is a dumbass.

id prefer to be told so i can do it if it happens agen....knowing my luck it will

well, as i've said many a time, select the layer with the music in, go to property's and then there is a box, select the sound that you are using, and there is another box, select stop.

nah i figured it out....it was because the song was longer than the amount of frames...... so the song carried on whilst the frames restarted...when the frames restarted the song restarted whilst the original song was still playing...
