Flash: Animated Scrolling via Tweening?

[mark4man]

OK...

I had created an animated .gif for my website...in the form of a sound wave, which scrolls across the page...representing an audio track playing back in a digital audio workstation (the graphic is an actual cropped audio track from a screen shot of a SONAR project.)

Trouble is...the number of frames required to make the scrolling seem smooth (& believe me...it's still a long way from smooth) creates a huge file size.

Check it out:

So now...Everybody is telling me to do this with Flash.

So I got Flash.

Now I import my long & narrow sound wave graphic into Flash...& have no idea where to start. I took the animation lesson with the bouncing, compressed tire...but it's not really relevant to what I want to do; & I can't seem to find a direct method in the help files anywhere.

In Adobe ImageReady (where I created the animated .gif)...I positioned the graphic in the window all the way to the left end & created a frame...all the way to the right end & created a frame; & tweened between those two points.

How is this accomplished in Flash?

How can I select each end of a long graphic, as frames; & tween between those two points...so as to create a smooth scrolling effect? That's all I want to do.

Thanks very much,

Hi -
I know you got this resolved in another forum, and it actually came out okay.
Check the css though - find out more info. about floats and other ways to
structure your layout...absolute positioning and 30 divs aren't needed on such
a simple page.

Have fun,
El

I don't know what CSS and what they were asking have to do with each other...

but if your going to use Flash you could look up tutorials using sin waves to achieve the effect you want with an extremly small file size
