Integrating Flash Animations – Summary

In this article you’ve seen how to add simple linear animations and control their playback through the RoboDemo animation options. You’ve also seen how you can add more complex interactive animations and use ActionScript to control how they’re played back.

These basic principles should allow you to add virtually any type of Flash content to your RoboDemo movies and even add your own custom functionality.

I’ll leave you with two samples that demonstrate how you can apply these principals to produce customized functionality in your movies.

This first sample uses what I covered in the “Pausing the RoboDemo Movie While Playing the Animation” section to integrate a drag-and-drop animation into a movie:

This second sample uses what I covered in “Playing the RoboDemo Movie and Animation Concurrently” to add keyboard control to the play bar.

I hope you’ve found this article interesting and are now inspired to begin experimenting for yourself. I’d love to hear any feedback you may have, so feel free to use the feedback link on the left, or drop by the RoboDemo forums.

Above all, remember to have fun!
