Flash Userbars!!!

[insanity]

Finally, the tutorial you’ve all been waiting for, making userbars in Flash! For those who can’t afford photoshop, you can make userbars in flash.
(Credit to Kizz for original userbar tutorial)

In this tutorial, I will teach you how to make Flash userbars by showing you the step by step process of a Mac OSX user usebar.

Step 1: open up Flash and create a new document.
Step 2: change the size of the workspace to 400 (width) by 40 (height) pixels. (picture) http://i7.photobucket.com/albums/y258/blahhoogeejunior/Tutorial%20pictures/tutpic1.jpg
Step 3: Choose an image. I usually use google images or take a screenshot of one of my programs.
Step 4: Drag the image into your document and resize to fit the workspace.
Step 5: Select the image and go to Modify-Bitmap-Trace bitmap. (leave the settings alone).
Step 6: Zoom in and select only the base of the image (not the background or any text). Then drag the base image apart from the background and delete the background.
Step 7: select the rectangle tool. Make the rectangle have no outline and make the fill one of the specialized fills. (picture) http://i7.photobucket.com/albums/y258/blahhoogeejunior/Tutorial%20pictures/specializedfill.jpg
Step 8: Drag the image onto the rectangle and add text.

Voila! You have created your first Flash userbar!

.................????????????????????
lol is it supposed to be someone particular?

[McBob]

No offense, but those userbars suck. They're way too simple, and you're using preset gradients on all of them. Make some new, better looking gradients. That's what the color mixer is for.
Your tut gets a big 3/10

no just some guy off of google ...

[McBob]

Really though. This was a terrible tutorial.
What I hate most about it is this:
Step 7: select the rectangle tool. Make the rectangle have no outline and make the fill one of the specialized fills. (picture) http://i7.photobucket.com/albums/y258/blahhoogeejunior/Tutorial%20pictures/specializedfill.jpg

Using preset specialized fills = bad and ugly. Use the color mixer and make your OWN fills, like in MY tutorial. http://www.stickpage.com/vb/showthread.php?t=17516

[daman5327]

[Sword-Man]

Of course you wouldn't use this.

A. You've got photoshop.
B. This is a Flash tutorial.

[ninjapanda]

Sorry, but they suck. Take some tuts yourself before you make one next time, eh?

[stickmanme1]

look thwey donjt even look like user bars theyre too thick and where's the outline. 0.5 out of ten.
oh and stop slagging of flash u guuys flsh userbars can mimic fotoshop if they're made right but this just isn't the right tut. sorry

[smily]

its okish but the outcome isnt great for the time it takes to do.
