Tutorial or an easy to follow example of flash being popped up over an html page and the background of the page fade to a slightly darker colour so that the flash is more prominent.
I've seen it done and would like to know how its done. An example of what i'm speaking of is here[url]...

Is there a solution to have the background audio/music play across multiple page on a website, WITHOUT restarting on every page load.The website currently uses a frameset, but I'm looking for an alternative.
View 2 RepliesI want to fade in the full browser background, however most of these tutorials I have seen have it loaded somehow with the BitmapData or another class, and when it is done this way, I cannot add any animation. Others, the background covers the whole browser, but it doesn't really resize, so most of it is just cropped out. Some, the positioning isn't always consistent for all resolutions. Some don't really explain how to position images in different parts of the Flash besides the direct center, top left, top right, etc. They will tell you how to get these spots, but not other spots.
Code:
import flash.display.BitmapData;
cover._x = Stage.width/2;
cover._y = Stage.height/2;
rock._x = Stage.width/2+265;
rock._y = Stage.height/2;
var tile:BitmapData = BitmapData.loadBitmap("tile");
function fillBG() {
[Code] .....
The reason I chose to stick with this one is that is the positioning is perfect. Positioning looks the exact same in all resolutions and what not, so this is what I want. But as you can see, it uses a BitmapData class, so I don't know how to add any animation because the file isn't even on the stage. It's in the library and I get this effect by giving it an identifier. Also, the background doesn't resize. It fits the whole browser, but most of it is cropped about like I mentioned earlier. The video tutorial really didn't cover the best way to adjust size, so now that I have the perfect way to position my clips, I don't know how to resize them, so they still look good. I remember in another tutorial I was guessing random numbers such as:
example._height = Stage.height / 2.58430953;
I basically just plugged in random numbers until it looked closest to the way I wanted it to. The problem with this was that image quality was reduced.
The Background
- Must be able to add animation to the full browser background
- Background must be resized so that nothing is missing from the original image, not cropping to fill the whole browser, resizing to fill the whole browser.
Positioning (Not really a problem now but...)
- An easy way to position anything where ever you want.
- Consistent in all resolutions.
Scaling Clips
- A way to scale clips so they just fine in all resolutions so that an image with a width of 512 px that looks great in 1280x1024 doesn't end up taking half of someone screen's that uses a 1024 x 768 resolution.
- No loss of quality.
I'm making a website at the moment which will all be done in flash (currently 1000px wide x 450px height) - what i want is a background which is consume the entire width of the page regardless of what the users screen resolution is, im not sure if this is a html/css thing or a flash thing.
View 3 Replies1. I am creating a Flash banner to go at the top of my website that is going to animate the name for the site one letter at a time. I have this part of the banner completed as a movie symbol that I have added to my main timeline. What I was wonder is if it is possible to set a timer or some type of pause for how long I want it to wait before looping again? I dont want to stop the looping all together but would like to maybe make it pause for 5 minutes or so before starting animation again. Keep in mind it has to be done within the movie symbol becuase I have other animation going on the main timeline that will just continuously loop.
2. Is it possible to set a flash swf to the background of a html document? The reason I ask is again with my banner I am creating I have a menu bar that is about 3/4 of the ways down the height of banner. I want me primary animation to be able to move behind this menu bar. I realise I can make the menu straight in flash adding my links directly to it, but I would perfer to handle that in straight html or whatever if possible.
Anyone know how to make a flash SWF appear as if it's in the background when published on a page where other JAvaScript and HTML menus might be required to appear "over the top of" the SWF?
View 3 RepliesI have a background I want to fade out. It has multiple colours so as far as I can tell I can't just use Alpha to fade it out (because it changes the whole background to the same colour). Is there anyway I can fade it out to about half-transparent?
View 5 RepliesI have a flash website where I would like the entire browser window to fade to black when viewing various thumbnails. It seems that Flash's background color setting will bleed through the entire browser, but when I try to add a graphic to create the background fade it only goes so far as the flash stage.The stage size is 780 pixels wide - do I need to create some sort of dynamic stage that scales to whatever the web browser size is? Otherwise, if the web browser goes bigger then 780 pixels the stage boundary is obvious.
View 1 RepliesI had published the Flash project which resulted in the creation of a HTML file. I previewed what the web page would look like by opening the HTML file in a browser. The first obvious issue was that the page was not centered, but left-justified. I think that I know how to satisfy that issue by reading the HTML file into Dreamweaver and adding a <center> tag just below the <body> tag. The issue that I cannot figure out is that my page is a bit smaller than my monitor size, so there is naturally the white "fill" areas to the margins. Is there a way to change this color to black? Is that the bgcolor variable that is in the <body> tag?
View 1 RepliesI want to place MCs in various places on top of an html background. the code for the background is here:
<div style="position:relative; width:100%; height:100%; z-index:10; left:
0px; top: 0px; visibility: visible;
<div align="center"><img src="Demo/Mech-Brake-LR.jpg"></div>
Its not officially a background image, but I want it to stay the same no matter what is being played...
Trying to code my graphic design portfolio and wish to to have embedded flash movie with thumbnails, change the html background to the specific clicked image.
Have been searching and read there is a way to have the flash button talk to javascript to change the current background image.
it's possible to dynamically change the background of the holding HTML page from Flash?I thought it would be possible through making a Javascript call from Flash?

I'm creating a website and I want the background to change when the user presses a different button. I've been trying to create this effect but haven't been able to yet. I used the post here and built from there, [URL]. I had it working with two images and two buttons but adding the third kind of messed everything up. I've attached the fla.
View 1 RepliesI have a script that fades in a random image from an array, and then loads the same image in another MC in the layer below so the transition from one image to the next does not show a white background.
The problem is that while it works perfectly as a standalone .SWF and also in Firefox, I'm getting a white flash between images in IE, and it's erratic in Opera also. Anyone know a reason for this?
This is the main code, and I've also attached the .FLA. You will need 5 image files in a subdirectory called "images" to run it. I'm sure the code could be simpler, but right now I'm just concerned about why it won't run the same across different browsers.

This is probably an easy task for most of you, but how do i get a transparent image to fade to a background image in Flash? I have several transparent product images (.png or .gif) and a patterend background. I import my .png or .gif image and convert it to a symbol. I drag the symbol on my layer but as soon as i add a keyframe, the product image background turns white and loses it's transparency!
View 1 RepliesI know some basic actionscript but this one is a bit more challenging (to me at least), as (i believe) it requires setting variables...anywho, here is the swf:

As you can see, right now when you click each button the respective background image comes up. Now what i need is for them to crossfade, not switch. And preferably at a variable speed. Here is the (simple and obvious) actionscript so far:
stop();
button1.onRelease = function() {
gotoAndStop(1);
}
[code]....
Each button is labeled button1, button2 etc. and each image has an instance name of simply "1", "2" etc....Can anyone help me and let me know what the actionscript would be for them to crossfade ? keeping in mind that the user might click button 1 then 4 then 2 then 5, meaning they cannot simply crossfade in order.
What would be the best way to get my random background to fade in? It is loaded using an XML file, and the images are large so when the site loads it takes a sec then... BAM - - image, lol.Heres my code:
ActionScript Code:
package CustomClasses {
import flash.display.MovieClip;

I made a 'movie' in Premiere and exported as FLV., Its suppose to be a banner on the top of a web page. The site was made with Dreamweaver. When played locally, the banner does great. When I put it on the server, thats a different story. I can tell thats something is there because it loads the background color of the flash file but it doesn't play the FLV.

So my flash skills are pretty rusty. The project I'm currently working on is updating my portfolio site and I have a navigation bar that I want to fade in, click on a link, fade out, then go to the specified link. I've got the animation working the way I like, however I cant get the links to work correctly. I've used the standard getURL commands, but then every button goes to the same link, not different ones.
What Action Script 3.0 coding do I need to make the animation play the way I've described and have each button go to it's own link?
Nowadays I tend to use photoshop and dreamweaver more than flash. how to do it? I can make the fading out movie clip, but it's just a case of telling the button to do that on release of it!

I want to click on a "gallery" button, have the previous page (whatever the user was on) fade out, and then have the "gallery" page fade in. I have been working with a Lynda.com tutorial,[code]

Does Flash Player 9's BlendMode ability transpose to normal bitmap data (JPG, PNG, etc.) outside or beneath the SWF? I have a movieclip that I'm trying to blend with an HTML background like Photoshop. It currently doesn't react to the options I've tried.
