I'm designing a website using Illustrator and Flash, i've been importing my designs from Illustrator to Flash and then using Flash to create buttons etc. Basically im trying to acheive a similar effect shown on this website (http://www.marcschultz.com/) where the images increase in opacity when the mouse is over it, I also want to do a similar thing with the text appearing as you roll over each image.

 

How do I do this?! Im new to Flash and web design in general, and really want to do this so any help would be appreciated!

 

Another thing I want to do, once I have finished the website I would like to set a background for the whole html page. Because when I upload my Flash website onto the web, it will be behind a white background but how do I change this?

 

I am aware there are a few different ways to create websites but I am required to use this method so could anybody tell me how to acheieve these using the software I have. I also have Fireworks so I dont mind using that in order to do any of these things, but I have never used that program before so please simple steps!

 

Thank you very much!

Can anyone help? Still trying and can't find a solution!

OK your going to need to know a little xml and flash to be able to make one of these gallery websites .. Do a search for free flash gallerys some have editable flash files and maybe you just have to keep a link on them for the terms of use.

 

For the html background attach this in the header of your html page

 

<style>
body
{
 background: black;
}
</style>

Ok thanks for the advice. For the background colour, if I have a specifit colour code can I put that in instead of the name of the colour? Would I need to include the hash before the number?

yep, instead of the colour 'black' in the afore mentioned code:

 

<style>
body
{
background: black;
}
</style>

 

You can change the colour to any 'hex' colour for example,

 

<style>
body
{
background: #000000;
}
</style>

 

This is just an example in changing the colour 'black' to a hex colour. You ALWAYS include the # symbol followed by the appropriate colour's hex code. Also don't forget the semi-colon after the colour with NO spaces!

 

I hope this helps
