2.2 - Quality Standards : Technical
Building you flash ZIP checklist:
Take time to prep your ZIP with all the required neccessities:
- One working .FLA file (RGB color only)
- Alternative flash version, such as Flash 5.0, Flash MX, etc. (optional)
- One working .SWF published piece
- Editable flash reference file, such as PHP or XML (optional)
- Instructions .TXT on using and modifying the file
RGB Color: Artwork within Flash files should be in RGB color spectrum ONLY.
Layer Naming Convention: Rather than leave your layers in a default mess, stick to a standard naming convention while composing your file, such as: actions, button #1, dynamic text, etc.
Fonts and Dynamic Text: When using irregular fonts (and not standards, such as Verdana, Arial, Tahoma, etc) convert all text to OUTLINE (PC: CNTRL B; MAC: CMD B / Modify > Break Apart). This does not apply to dynamic text (text used to display variable text, predominantly used in preloaders).
Do Submit
Non-standard fonts converted to OUTLINE (to add to your design)
Do Not Submit
Non-standard fonts NOT converted to outline (editable). For dynamic editable text use standard fonts such as: Verdana, Arial, Tahoma, etc.
Flash Text Effect Plug-ins and Apps: Use of overly simple text effect plug-ins, with no other supporting features, should be limited in contributions. Incorporate these features as secondary design elements to the composition.
Hidden Links / Malicious Action Scripts: Under no circumstance are hidden links or malicious action scripts to other sites acceptable. Script that could attack a user's system, for example, authored content, or working in conjunction with a web server to find out the contents from the local file systems, is strictly prohibited. Abuse will result in a siteban.
Unessessary Layers, Artwork, Action Scripting: Make sure the flash file is clean before submission and that there are no unnecessary layers, artwork and/or action scripting.
