This tutorial will teach you how to create a simple flash website that has three sections. We are not going to use any advanced ActionScript and will rely only on the GotoAndPlay method to control our movie clip. You can view an example of what we're going to create in the Flash movie below. This tutorial uses ActionScript 1/2. If you would like to learn how to create a similar project using ActionScript 3.0 then check out our other Basic Flash Website tutorial. Setting Up the Stage Start off with a new Flash movie, access the Properties Inspector to set the dimensions of the movie to 600x400px, the background color to white, and the frame rate to 12 fps. On the timeline, create four layers and name them Background, Content, Buttons, and Actions. Place them in the order illustrated in the image below. Creating a Preloader We are not going to discuss how this works as the topic was covered in a previous tutorial which you can check to learn more about preloaders. We'll use a very basic preloader that shows the word Loading while the movie loads. To do this, click once on the name of the layer labeled Content, and then right-click the second frame on that layer and select Insert Frame. Now use the Text Tool to write the word Loading on the scene. Once you have the word Loading written on the stage somewhere, you can change the font and the size of it through the Properties Inspector, choose whatever suits your taste. Make sure that the word is placed in the center of the scene. (Hint: Use the Align Panel Ctrl+K) That should do the visual part of the preloader, back to our timeline, right-click the second frame in the layer labeled Actions and select this time Insert Keyframe. Now right-click the same frame once again and select Actions to open the Actions Panel. Paste the following code to complete your preloader:
