Pixelwit — Mon, 16 Jun 2008 19:02:12 +0000

Since a few people have asked me to help them add multiple PageFlip effects to a single Flash file I thought I'd write this tutorial just for them.

As usual, I recommend downloading the latest version of the Free Flash PageFlip File to be sure we're on the same page (so to speak)....

Pixelwit — Mon, 02 Jun 2008 11:06:54 +0000

A few people have asked how to modify the free PageFlip's shadow gradients so I thought I'd write a Flash tutorial for anyone else who might like to do the same. This tutorial will focus on Flash's "beginGradientFill" function so keep reading along if you'd like to get acquainted with that function's basic usage.

Change PageFlip Page Color

Pixelwit — Thu, 24 Apr 2008 19:16:49 +0000

As with all PageFlip tutorials, I recommend downloading the most recent version of the free PageFlip file and following along.

Open the file.
Drag the Timeline indicator to frame #14.
The small cross in the middle of the stage is the Pages movieclip.
Double-click the Pages movieclip to begin editing it.
In the Timeline, select the first frame of the Actions layer.
Open the Actions panel (Menu>Window>Actions).
Go to line #20 in the Actions panel.
Change the "pageColor" variable as needed. For example:

White: var pageColor = 0xFFFFFF;
Gray: var pageColor = 0x808080;
Black: var pageColor = 0x000000;

Test the movie (ctrl:entr).
Save your changes if you like the new page color.

That should do it. Be sure to check the PageFlip Help section if you have any other questions.

The Improved PageFlip has some of the most commonly requested page flipping features. Take a look at this:

"FlipTo" command automatically flips through all intermediate pages until reaching a specific page with the press of a button.
"TurnBack" and "TurnAhead" commands allow simple navigation via Forward and Back buttons.
All 4 corners of the book are interactive, rather than just the bottom two.

Change PageFlip Background Color

Pixelwit — Thu, 28 Feb 2008 10:48:31 +0000

Changing the background color of the PageFlip is easy but it's not very intuitive. Here's a quick tutorial explaining how to do it:

Download the PageFlip file if you haven't already.
Open the PageFLip file.
Make sure the TimeLine is visible (Menu»Window»TimeLine).
Find the "Background" layer in the TimeLine
Click the "X" to the right of the Background layer to make it visible.
Click the "lock" to the right of the Background layer to unlock it.
Click the first non-empty frame in the Background layer to select it.
Click the Fill Color swatch in the ToolBar to choose a new color

That should be it. Happy page-flipping.
