Flash help!?

Question

OK, I'm going to try and explain this the best I can. I've never really used Flash before. I'm trying to make a screensaver using the iscreensaver program. I would really like for the screensaver to be somewhat interactive instead of just static slides. For example, maybe have a picture fade in and then text a few seconds later? Can anyone tell me how I would go about doing this? I'm totally lost!

Answer 1

You can use Powerpoint instead of flash , for making screensaver with powerpoint follow steps ;
Open your PowerPoint presentation
Choose File, Save As
In the "Save as type:" dropdown list box, choose GIF, JPEG or PNG
Browse to your My Pictures folder (it's inside My Documents)
Type in a file name and click Save
When PowerPoint asks if you want to export every slide in the presentation, click Yes. When the export completes, you'll have one image file for each slide in your presentation in your My Pictures folder
Minimize or quit PowerPoint
Rightclick the Windows desktop and choose Properties
Click the Screen Saver tab
In the dropdown listbox under "Screen Saver" choose "My Pictures Slideshow"
Click Settings if you want to fine-tune the results.
Voila. Instant (and free) screensaver from your presentation, albeit one that lacks animation, transition and sounds.

Answer 2

Well Macromedia Flash by Adobe has now become a complete systematic software for animations and web application. So for a newbie, it would be little difficult to start all the way, before getting enough knowledge how it works.

Instead you may try some template tools for Flash animations like Flash Effect maker, Amara Flash utilities etc (many others, easily available on http://www.download.com ).

But if you wants to learn how to do Flash animations, then you may go to http://www.flashkit.com and find basic tutorials for Flash animations on desired topics.

So Good luck for that!

You don't need flash to do that. Just look for Transtitions somewhere on the program, and make sure you insert the "Fade In" transition between the pictures. Computers really are that stupid. You have to tell them to do EVERYTHING you want them to do.
