Despite the fact that fast and efficient e-mail has almost completely supplanted regular mail today, and people are much more likely to congratulate each other on the holidays on the Internet, the relevance of greeting cards has not disappeared at all. People love to receive postcards just like before, but with the advent of modern technology, you can not only give your friends and loved ones paper cards, but also create interactive and vibrant flash cards in which greeting text can be combined with a moving image and with a sound accompaniment.
Instructions
Step 1
A self-created flash card will become a memorable and memorable gift for your friend. Making it is not as difficult as it seems.
Step 2
To create a postcard, you need Macromedia Flash. As an example, we will tell you how to make a New Year greeting card in flash. Since the flash format implies the ability to animate your graphics, you can draw a postcard with an imitation of snowfall.
Step 3
In order to depict falling snowflakes on a postcard, draw a rectangle on the working area that exceeds the height of the working scene. Draw snowflakes inside the rectangle, and then start moving the rectangle from top to bottom at a slow pace.
Step 4
Use a dark image as a background for the postcard - a night sky or a night forest will do, since it is against this background that light snowflakes will be clearly visible. In order for the postcard to have the effect of continuous snowfall, and the addressee of your congratulations did not notice the transition between frames and the change in the pattern of snowflakes, arrange the snowflakes on the rectangle in a certain order.
Step 5
Divide the snowflake rectangle into thirds and make sure the pattern on the top matches the pattern on the bottom. This is necessary so that during the transition of frames, the image coincides with each other, and the gluing effect is invisible. Remove the hundredth frame from the frame so that at the end of one playback cycle the image does not freeze.
Step 6
If you want the snowfall to look even more realistic, create another layer and create a second rectangle in it. Draw smaller snowflakes on it for the background and adjust the movement so that the snowflakes move both from top to bottom and from left to right. The back blade with snowflakes should be smaller than the front blade, but wider than the front blade.
Step 7
Choose a beautiful font and write congratulatory words on the card. If you want, add a voice greeting to the postcard by recording it on the microphone in advance.
