Contest: Header Design for DesignContest.net forums.
Important: You might have seen the original Header Design Contest. It's been on for a long time and the thread was getting somewhat large. To make it more structured I am making some changes: 1. the contest will run in monthly sessions. 2. a new thread will be opened for each new session.
Deadline: July 1st.
Dimensions: 900x120px
Contest Description: The challenge is to redesign the header of our forums using the template provided in the attached .fla file. The template is very simple and leaves plenty of room for your creativity.
Restrictions: You must keep the shape of "DC" logo graphic unmodified! However you can change the colors and "DESIGNCONTEST.NET" text. Use the button on the right side of the header to link to your portfolio – this should be the only link outside of DesignContest.net included in your design.
You must be the author of all the graphics used in your header design. Clipart, 3rd party images, and derivatives of 3rd party images may NOT be used.
Comments: It is encouraged to comment and critisize in a positive way on ther members' entries.
Prize: Apart from counting as one out of three Community Contest wins towards instantly becoming a Design Team member, the header (and the link to your portfolio) will be seen by thousands of people - fellow designers and your potential clients.
This contest will be open for a long time, so this description may be updated as we get questions and input from you guys.

marieke, that's what I was wondering myself 
bigbadoutline, the template I have uploaded is Flash 8, I believe - that is why you can't open it. I have only Flash CS3 myself, so version 8 is the best I can do.
Does anybody have Flash 8 to convert the template for the previous version?

I am not an expert with flash just started learning. How could I make this start on rollover if I create an invisible button. The animation is just a scene I built in a mask instance I guess is the term? Anyway they are not on the main timeline but within the mask layer. Any they are different layers themselves. If this makes any sense let me know.

I guess you can put the whole animation inside a new movieclip and put first a stop action on it followed by an on RollOver gotoAndPlay script.

Cool I wasn't really understanding the action script that much. Finally got it. Used Action Script 3.0
stop();
function playMovie(event:MouseEvent):void
{
play();
}
play_btn.addEventListener(MouseEvent.ROLL_OVER, playMovie);
I know there are prolly a million ways to do it. When you mouse over it will start the movie and I stoped at the end. When you mouse back over and pause just for a sec or so it will restart. How easy is it to control the symbols in the movie clip with a mouse over instead of it being played? Or is that pretty advanced?

mattgfx, no it doesn't happen often. If fact the site was down only for about 5 minutes (because of an error in hosting provider's billing system).
Everybody, I will post feedback to your entries tomorrow. What I can say right now that I am sure you guys can do better!
