I'm working on something where an swf with multiple frames is imported to a movie clip called, viewport.
I've got the simple navigation done but wanted to implement a feature that would let the user see all frames of the swf as thumbnails.
At the moment i'm thinking create boxes and load the swf into each then go to a different frame but there must be a better way of doing this.
I am trying to create a tween in which an imported jpg will fade away to completely transparent. After importing the jpg image and converting to a movie clip symbol, I am able to create a motion tween where it grows and moves, but using the alpha setting, I cannot get it to become transparent. Is this not possible with an imported image?
View 6 RepliesI created a button in Illustrator and imported to my Flash library. The button has drop shadows, overlay and gradients. It imports and previews just fine until I change it to a button. When I go to preview it, there are these thick red boxes that seems to incase every layer of the button?
View 3 RepliesI'm creating a gallery page for my site, and I need a side scrolling thumbnail display.
Basically it would have several thumbnails that would keep scrolling for ever (some how duplicating the content in a mask).
How can I create a simple sliding viewer that horizontally scrolls through thumbnail images without using XML? I read thru the Kirupa tutorial for loading the thumbnails, and it worked perfectly. However, when you click on a thumbnail, I need it to launch an HTML page in a separate window. (This is a bit more complicated than if it only needed to load an enlarged version of the thumbnail in a separate movie clip.)
View 1 RepliesI am creating an image gallery with thumbnails on the right inside a symbol so that they can all fade in at the same time, and the bigger images on the left that also fade in. I can only fit 8 thumbnail images at a time, and want to have more than that. So I'll add an arrow below the thumbs so that when you click on it, you can see the other thumbs. I have the first 8 thumbs on the first frame of a symbol and the rest on the second frame.
My problem is that the symbol that contains the thumbs is a graphic symbol, so that the thumbs in it, that are button symbols can be clicked on. I tried using button and movie clip symbols for the thumbnails container but then the buttons (thumbs) can't be clicked any more. That was not a problem till I had to add more than 8 thumbs, cause i need to give the container an instance name, and graphic symbols can't have one.
Here is the link to download the .fla [URL]
In case I didn't make my self clear, what I need is to know if there's a way to have a movie clip or button symbol that can have buttons in it that can be clicked on.

Haven't been here for a while and I'm really rusty using Flash. I looking for a tutorial or some information on how to scroll thumbnails by scrolling the mouse left or right over the thumbnails.
View 3 RepliesI used the tutorial "Adding Thumbnails" to build a fotoshow. Adding another xml-file I have the problem,that I cannot reload(?) the thumbnails correctly.[code]Then I do not see any thumbnails,if(!) the new thumbnail list contains fewer elements than the old one and if the old thumbnail list was scrolled over the hit_right field before.It is seemingly necessary to reset the internal state of the movieclip. But how can I accompish that?

View 2 Repliesit seemed like a simple process but I cant seem to get this right... I got a button there, but the URL wont go, ie, the click does nothing.I imported a PSD layered image to Flash CS3, into a new blank layer. I need basically an area of this PSD to be "image mapped" so what I did was create a rectangle with the rect tool, over the area I needed the hot spot.Here I tried to do a transparent box and border (alpha 0) but the outline is still there even though the box is "empty." I did select the transparent box, no color, and tried alpha, both same result)I made that into a symbol, then I double clicked into there to fill in the key pts for the over, hit, etc., states.... I dont have any effects here btw, as simple as we can get.After that I right clicked on the buttonand entered the action script ("reserve" is the name of my button symbol)
reserve.onRelease=function(){
getURL("http://www.redeggnyc.com/menu2.htm");
}

I'm putting together a website in Flash CS4, and my Actionscript knowledge is pretty minimal. The site has a portfolio section with a scrollbar, which I modified from a downloadable example I found here: http:[url]...The prewritten code uses xml to import the thumbnails into the scrollbar- all of this is fine and working beautifully so far. What I'd like to do is to have each thumbnail act as a button, so that when clicked, you jump to another page/frame on the timeline. I see that it's very straightforward to either open a 'full' image or to go have the thumbnail take you to an html page, but is there a command that can go into the xml text that will simply take you to another spot on the timeline?
View 3 RepliesI created an image in Photoshop that included a gradient layer fading from transparency to a foreground color (in this case, black). I saved this image as a PNG file and imported the file onto my Flash stage. The gradient appears on the image as expected when viewing the stage in the Flash editor, however, when I test the movie, the gradient no longer appears.
View 2 RepliesI created a flash file (I will refer to this a swf.1) that plays correct when published as swf.However when I place it into another flash file the nested animation inside the swf.1 does not run.The nested animation in swf1. that does not run has a mask. Would this have anything to do with it?
View 1 RepliesI am creating an animation that will be used in 60 or so countries so messages will have to be translated in-country. From what I understand, using XML is the best way to do this. So, I created the following XML file (number of items reduced for space) using notepad:
<?xml version="1.0"?><displays name="Transfer Case Messages"> <message text="Click on the igntion switch to advance the switch one position." messageNumber = "0"/> <message text="Please use the brake pedal hold button to shift into and out of Park (P)." messageNumber = "1"/> <message text="Speed is limited in 4WD LOW." messageNumber = "2"/></displays>
Then, I used the following code to load the XML file and verify that it loads:

I have imported some info from an xml file into my movie. The info from this file is then displayed in dynamic text boxes. Three of these text boxes show a price which displays fine. However i need the contents of these text boxes to be added together in another dynamic text box called total. I need this total to update as the price fields change. I just cant figure it out.
Here is my code which is placed at frame 1 of my movie:

Im preparing a Flash piece that includes several audio files. I imported the audio successfully but for some reason when I play the swf, the audio sounds tinny. I set the settings to speech compression and synced to stream. Some of the audio files were edited in Soundbooth to add silence at the beginning of the audio files. HOwever, all files (edited in Soundbooth or not) sound tinny.

View 2 Replies've been building some website in pure flash with as2, where index.html is only a 100%x100% swf movie without any marginsi didn't expect there was supposed to be a gallery but oh well. our client decided that he wants to have some gallery in his flash website. this of course wouldn't be a problem if the swf weren't scaled but it unfortunately is so everytime it loads an image it is, of course, sacled up/down which produces a really ugly pixelated image (because nobody would want to have his gallery images scaled up 2 times)if i knew there was going to be a gallery, i would export it into html with "match movie" dimensions and dynamically reposition all the objects in the swf but i didn't. and i don't have time to rebuild the damn site againso i'm asking, is there any option for a loaded image that it would not get scaled up/down while the swf(browser window) is? or a variable that tells at how much % is the movie scaled in the browser?(so i could re-scale the images inside flash) i know there is probably not but i'm really desperate
