Adding Navigation!

Adding navigation to our game, in my opinion was fun. At first it was hard, but after watching the tutorial video probably 3 times, I understood it all. (: All itis, you are creating simple buttons for your game. Buttons like, the play, the about, and the back buttons. It also teaches you how to change the color of the buttons once clicked on.

Well, after reading the information on frames and keyframes in flash. It turns out that they are both different in some way. When working with keyframes, you play an animation, the playback head will move across the time line. As the head moves it'll intersect dots in the different layers, and those dots are called keyframes.

When you look at the timeline, you'll notice that one frame has a hollow circle in it and the frame has a white background. This indicates that the frame is a keyframe and has no graphic content associated with it on stage. A frame is a single frame inserted into a shot to provide an instant of different image.

So frames and keyframes are somewhat different from each other. It may be a bit difficult until I get the hang of it...
