Week 4. Starting work on the UI.

This week I've started looking into new images for the UI. We need to have a pallet image for the new section we are adding. I'll also need to modify the image so that it has a transparent background and uses the same effects as the other UI buttons.

The flash UI has a different code method than I use normally. It mostly seems like its coded with movie clips instead of buttons and has all its code on the frames. The code on the frame makes the clips act like buttons. Its an interesting way to do it when buttons are one of the types you can pick over a movie clip. Perhaps they found something more effective in coding it this way.

It also seems that kismet shouldn't be much of a problem with integration because kismet has fscommands, which is something that is used a lot in the flash code and is very easy to combine.
