If you have been following along with the previous tutorials, you should have sectioned your webpages along the Actions layer in the Flash Timeline. So far we have also added the images and text that will make up the Home webpage of your Flash website. Now we will continue to build the individual webpages. We will do this by adding a Keyframe on the Content layer for each webpage along the Timeline just as we did for the Actions layer. We will then add images and text to the Stage for each webpage.

Step 1. The Contact (Contact Us) Webpage. The next webpage we encounter along the Timeline is the Contact Us webpage. Click on Frame 10 on the Content layer. Now go to the Menubar and click Insert > Timeline > Keyframe to add a Keyframe. This Keyframe tells Flash to display new contents at Frame 10. Therefore, our next step is to remove the contents for the Home webpage and replace it with the contents for the Contact Us webpage. The Home contents should already by selected so just go back to the Menubar and click Edit > Cut. Aside from the navigation menu and the copyright notice, you should have a blank Stage.

Step 2. Add The Contact Us Content. Let's add a title and some images for the Contact Us webpage. Click on Frame 10 in the Content layer and then click on the Text Tool. Now click and drag to draw a text box at the center of the stage just under the menu. Set the Property Inspector for the Text Tool to the values below. Of course, you can use any settings you prefer for your project. Type in a title for this webpage.

Text Type: Static Text
Font: Arial
Size: 38
Color: 000000 (Black)
Style: Bold
Align: Center

If you wish to add any graphics to your Contact Us webpage use the same Import to Stage method you learn previously. In the example, I placed the title above Fred the Frog and used a cartoon balloon image to make it appear that we is talking. But of course, you will want to add your own special touches to your webpages.

That's all we will add to this webpage for now. We are going to add the major text for the webpage in a future tutorial. For now, let's move on to the Artist webpage.
