Creating a Mail Form with PHP and Flash - Part 2 - Page 2
(Page 3 of 14 )
Open the source fileIf you haven't downloaded it already download it here.Once you have downloaded the source file open it and look at the .fla file.If you look at the library (click on the open book symbol in the bottom right hand side of Flash to open the panel) you will see a movieclip called "title".Double Click on that to open it.
First thing to look at in the "title" movie clip are the layer's
You will see there are 5 layers.Each layer is 30 frames long with the exception of the actions layerLets look at these layers from top to bottom * The actions is just one frame with a simple stop() action in it. * The button layer holds the button to activate the menu. * The selectbox layer holds the text box in which the selection appears * The options layer this layer contains 2 labelled frames hide and show * The transbutton layer holds a transparent button from frame 15 onwards (what's the point of a button you can't see? They are used in Flash all the time and it's reason will become clear)Now if you look at the stage of our movie clip you will see a text field( the 2 arrows on the right is a button which I have sat on top of the text field)
open up the Text Options panel, you can do so by either going Window>Panels>Text Options or by clicking on the letter A in on the bottom right of the Flash screen.
