How to Make a Kimono Dress Game

Launch Adobe Flash and create a new file.

Set the brush size to 2 pixels and zoom in to the canvas. Draw the oval shape of a woman's head. Inside the head, draw two almond-shaped eyes, a small nose and a semicircle mouth. At the top of the head, draw an updo hairstyle. Under the head, draw the outline of a woman's body.

Color the body with the "Bucket" tool.

Navigate to the "Timeline," and highlight the current layer. Change the name to "Body" and press the "New Layer" button. Name the new layer "Kimono 1" and highlight it.

Click on the "Brush" tool and click on the black color swatch. Draw a kimono over the outline of the woman. Trace the curve of the shoulders and extend the lines into long, wide sleeves. Trace the line of the chest, to the waist. At the waist, draw a wide band that extends to the opposite side of the body. The band should extend from the top of the waist to the top of the hips. After the band, trace the line of the hips. Extend the line into a long line that curves outwards slightly. End the kimono at the feet.

Highlight the kimono, using the "Arrow" tool. Right-click and scroll to "Copy." This saves the outline of a kimono, allowing you to fill it with several patterns.

Add a pattern to the kimono, using the "Brush" and "Bucket" tools.

Highlight the kimono. Right-click and scroll to "Convert to Symbol." In the "Symbol" pop-up window text-field, add the ActionScript code that allows users to drag the kimono:

on (press)

{

startDrag ("");

}

on (release)

{

stopDrag();

}

Drag the kimono to the right or left side of the canvas.

Create a new layer and name it "Kimono 2." Paste the kimono outline, or draw a kimono with a new shape. Add a pattern to the kimono, right-click and scroll to "Convert to Symbol." Add the ActionScript code for the kimono and drag the kimono next to the first kimono:

on (press)

{

startDrag ("");

}

on (release)

{

stopDrag();

}

Repeat the process of creating kimonos and converting them to symbols.

Click on the "File" menu and scroll to "Save As." Enter the name "Kimono Dress Up," select the file-type .swf and press the "Save" button.
