About 5.5 hours later the revised 360 Flash module is finally near completion. Thanks to the integration CS3 offers creating the .fla was pretty straightforward. In fact, it involved simply importing the .psd straight into Flash, making a few changes, and that was it. The file size is still a little large, but that has a lot to do with the 360 render. I ended up cutting the number of frames in half to cut down on size.
I’m using the AS3 preloader technique Lee Brimelow shows on www.gotoandlearn.com. Loading an external .swf into the loader.swf. Worked well, except that I noticed my reference to “stage” in the document class returned one of those obscure “null object reference” errors. Took me a while to debug it. Somehow the reference to the “stage” wasn’t registering as instantiated in the loader.swf.
(If anyone knows why, let me know)
Ultimately it was a smooth project start to finished.
