2.+Creating+the+First+Page

Now that you have your organization completed, it is time to start the first page of your website.

1. Open Flash CS4 and you should see the following screen;Choose, from the middle section, FLASH FILE (ACTIONSCRIPT 3.0). This will take you to the main stage of the Flash document. You will find that there are a lot of similarities between flash vocabulary and movie/drama vocabulary.



2. Somewhere on the screen should be a PROPERTIES PANEL. In my example it is on the right but it may be somewhere else or not even visible. If it is not visible then got the WINDOWS -> PROPERTIES menu. It should show up. 3. One of the sections of the Properties panel is also called PROPERTIES. Kind of confusing but understandable. Click on the EDIT button and change the size 550 x 400 px to 780 x 600 px. 4. Make sure the DEFAULT button is highlighted. 5. Change the BACKGROUND COLOR to what you would like it to be throughout the website. My example is #D7E0EC.Press the OK button to save your changes. 6. Goto the FILE -> SAVE menu and save this in your newly created folder. Save it as "home.fla".
