Creating the Layout

For the first part, we're going to create the basic layout.

Step 1.

To start off, create a new Flash document with the following settings.

Step 2.

Double click on the rounded rectangle and set the corner radius to 15

Step 3.

Create a greay (#E4E4E4) rounded rectangle, using the settings shown below. I've zoomed out to 50% here.

Step 4.

Convert the rectangle into an MC (Movie Clip Symbol) called main. This is where we'll be creating the site.

Step 5.

Go into the 'main' MC and convert the rectangle into another MC, this time calling it 'bg'

Step 6

Open up the 'bg' mc, create a 2nd layer and a grey/green (#839597) rectangle, without rounded corners

Step 7

Create a 3rd, darker (#B4B4B4) rectangle on another new layer.

Step 8

Make a 4th lighter grey rectangle

Step 9.

Go back to the 'main' MC, and import the header image onto the stage.

Step 10

Convert the header image into an MC (Movieclip) called 'header'
