Inside Flash MX (2nd Edition) (Inside (New Riders))

You've added Smart Clips to movies, and you've modified them as well. Why not take the next step and build your own? All you need is an idea for a movie clip that would lend itself to Smart Clip style customization.

In this chapter, you learn how to do the following:

• Create a Smart Clip. You've already seen the power of Smart Clips. Now it's time to get busy and create one of your own.

• Work with the Extension Manager. You can download and install existing Smart Clips with the Extension Manager.

• Package a Smart Clip for distribution. Now that you've built a Smart Clip and know how to use the Extension Manager, try packaging your own Smart Clip to share with the world.

You'll begin by creating a brand new Smart Clip from scratch.
