Flash - Website

I've been thinking about making a fully Flash website since December now, but I haven't gotten much further than the pre-loader until now. But don't worry, I'll include a link on the website that leads back to this blog anyways, so it's not the end of this blog. All the layers and ActionScript is going to take a while, so don't be surprised if I take the summer to finish! Here are a couple of in-progress screenshots:

Here's the pre-loader that got me started on the idea of a website in the first place.

I tweaked the layout for a bit, but eventually I settled on a navbar docked to the left.

Here is the home page, complete with glowing effects on the buttons when you hover your mouse over them, as seen here on the "Blog" button, which (should) links back to the blog right here. No worries, I won't abandon this place anytime soon.

However, after further adjustments and adding ActionScript to the buttons, things started to go a bit... out of plan. Things didn't work out the way I wanted them to, and I'm not sure if there's a way back now:

Everything plays at the exactly same time, running in order on the Flash timeline instead of by what the ActionScript dictates. I'm probably missing some code, but the Compiler Errors detect nothing that I typed wrong. I'll look into to see if I can get someone to look what I've done over.

But, in the end, I started this simply as an experiment, so I guess I'll learn as I go along. Hopefully.
