Flash Website Design

Flash Web Design

Integrating work with Photoshop and ImageReady with software mainly devoted to animation as Macromedia Flash, requires further optimization phase and some that will not be unknown to those who work for the web with this application:

1. JPEG images should never be stored in JPEG format Progressive; are not compatible with Flash and other similar programs.
2. In establishing the initial and final location of a symbol, in a motion (motion tween) or a function that the move from one point to another, define coordinated integers in the Properties window inspection.
3. Not optimize too, although properly, raster images to be imported into the library, if you want to use another compression through publishing settings (menu File).

The layout can be imported into Flash image as a whole, both as a layout cut. In the second case it is clear that we need to "rebuild" or recompose all images in one since the subdivision is dictated by the needs of others.

So with Flash is unnecessary that the layout is imported image as divided, failing need to be structured in tables or CSS. It is a correct choice for use Action script load dynamically and non textual content.

Further optimization phase is to recreate Flash all the elements that can be produced in vector, instead of using raster images produced by image ready. Need to be reproduced in vector images with flat colors or shades of campiture linear or radial.

With the vector Flash you can save a lot on the size of the movie, and also improve the final result in terms of aesthetics avoiding the typical loss of resolution raster image can suffer during interpolations.

If imported raster images are poorly adapted to be converted into vector, a good technique in Flash is to position on a level that then block, and "ricalcarle" with the tools to a higher level. A final project can remove the raster image layer and the latter from the library.

The same process may also be applied to certain types of photographs, especially if high contrast, which can present major campiture of flat tints or shades easily reproducible.
