Building a Flash SWF

I have a secret I want to share with you;…I have never been comfortable with working in Flash,…and that means I've had a lot of trouble making interactive SWF files.…Well, that's changing now, because I can create my SWF files right in InDesign.…Adobe has made the process nearly painless, too. Watch this:…I have my Roux portfolio document open from the Exercise Files folder, and I've…also added a bunch of different interactivity here.…This page is not so exciting, but if I go to the next page, I can see some…more interesting things.…Here, I've got an image, and I am going to double-click on that to jump inside…this group, and I have an animation applied to this.…

I made that animation by going to the Window menu, choosing the Interactive…submenu, and then choosing Animation.…This animation makes this image fade in slowly over one second, when it's…called to appear, and the thing that calls it to appear is this button over…here; this number 10.…Now, I am not to going to get into all the details about how to create these…
