31st October 2011 – Creating more Menus!!

I have decided to reuse the Bullet idea for a GUI and am creating a new design, I have added a green background with a texture overlay but I am going to remove this and make a transparent background so that I can create a landscape in UDK and put that as the background to the menu instead. Below are some screenshots of me creating the UI. depending on how well it comes out I may use this as the basest for my final GUI which I will submit.

This is before I have applied actionscripting and was creating the base design.

Here I am applying actionscript to a keyframe, something I havn’t done before, using techniques I found from a tutorial online (http://flashexplained.com/actionscript/moving-and-rotating-a-movie-clip-with-button-symbols-via-actionscript/) I made it so that when the Start Game button is pushed the bullet will move across the screen, but when released the bullet will stop in position. If you want the final code it’s here..

startgame.onPress = function()
{
bullet.onEnterFrame = function() {
this._x -= 40;
startgame.onRelease = function() {
delete bullet.onEnterFrame;
}
}
}

It’s nearing the end of the day, I will finish off what I have left to do, ready for tomorrow.
