Main article: CTA Asset Creation.

Introduction

In the past, compound props can be composed of several images but any animation acted upon the whole. Now in CTA 3.2, dynamic compound props are allowed wherefore, separate animated props can be put together. Therefore, the production objectives are separated into two distinct phases:

  1. The production of dynamic assembly parts.
  2. The combination of the assembly parts into the assembled product.

Simple Production Summary

Steps:

  1. Assembly structure design.
  2. Prepare the assembly part images and saving them as (*.swf) files.
  3. Create animations for the assembly parts and save them as Motion Clips.
  4. Save the Motion Clips into the assembly parts Action Menu.
  5. Save the assembly parts as (*.ctProp).
  6. Save the assembled product as (*.ctProp).
  7. If the assembled product is an accessory, set the anchor point and save it as (*.ctAcc) instead.
