Hi Adriene can you be a bit more specific about what you are trying to achieve? Are you making a header or banner for a website? what kind of effects are you trying to do?

Hi Gary,

Thanks for the response! Awesome but way over my head. I need to build a (layered) header for my website.

What are you going to put on the layers?

Can you show us an example of what you want?

Hi Gary,

Something like this example plus some text added and some special effects on the colours

So you want something like the rectangle color to change?

Here's a small tutorial:

I created a separate object of the fruit.

Create your rectangle in the animation window (File > New... > Animation)

Click the small yellow tag icon and name the rectangle.

Click the Copy Frame icon to create a copy of the frame. Change the color of the rectangle. Repeat this a few times and change the color of the rectangle.

Export as a Flash .swf movie.
