After that, the frames were all exported as image sequences and batch processed to "trace bitmap" in Adobe Streamline.</p> <p>After I imported all the frames into flash, I aligned the audio and music, added the text, and designed and programmed the preloader. (Twelve times!)</p> <p>I think this was one of the coolest projects I've ever done, especially considering it was all done on a very tight deadline, in Flash 4!</p> <div class="date"> <span class="year">2002</span> </div> <p class="meta">Technologies used: Flash 4</p> </div> <ul class="nav"><li><a href="/portfolio/flash-converse-shine/content/" class="bgfx button-img button-view">View<span class="bgfx1"> </span></a></li></ul> </dd> </dl> <div class="clear"></div> </div> <script type="text/javascript"> var gaJsHost = (("https:" == document.location.protocol) ?
