animated flash banner

Post by Sebastian »

Here it is, an animated banner for Usagi Yojimbo Dojo. Probably some things need to be tweaked and maybe the colours changed, so please comment.

Please download the banner and view it locally from your computer, because when it loads in the browser the dimensions are wrong (should be 468x60), I'm working on that bug.

I made it because, as far as I know, the Dojo didn't have one.

That's pretty cool. Talk to Todd Shogun to see if the banner can be used.

Thank you, it's my first attempt to make an animation in Flash. :)
First I'd like to improve and optimize it, I'll talk to Todd Shogun when that's done.

That looks really cool. I've always wanted to incorporate some Flash into the site, but could never find anyone who could do it. Let me know when it's complete.

I'll try, but Flash is still a new tool for me, plus I don't have much time (university), but I'll try.

I can make/ edit graphic, what I meant was that I have to learn the functions of Flash.

Good work Sebastian! Congratulations! :D

If anything, I would think the animation could be slowed down slightly. Although I knew it was Usagi, he appeared as a blur.

This would make a great addition to the site in my opinion!
