I've never created a full Flash site and really want to. The tutorial on the Kirupa site on Creating a Full Flash Site [URL]... was great but I have a question... probably a stupid question, but I have to ask it anyways. Did you have to create the linked swf files separately? Those pages have fun features on them as well - but since the fla files weren't included in the download .

Any links to any tutorials that teach how to create a full site with Object Oriented Programming? I am one year in now on Flash and AS3 and think I am getting pretty good at the basic AS3 principles and creating dynamic sites. Now I want to start migrating over into OOP so that I can create the more dynamic and browser friendly Flash Sites, but OOP is much more complex and would like a good example or sample of how to finish a full site under OOP coding.
View 6 Repliesi have made a site in flash. stage size 955x600 i have exported it as fullscreen with no scale. the problem is that if i browse the site with a resolution of 800x600 (760x420 if i'm not wrong), the browser dont' add scrolls and its impossible to see the complete site. How can i fix this without resizing the site. i want the users to see with the proportions that i have now.. ijust want a scroll on the browser.
View 2 Repliesam trying to get around succeeding a full screen site in flash with AC3, but always ending with no satisfying result, I am trying the 100% on both the width and height in the html file, but at the end it doesn't work properly, I don't get a full screen, and when I get it, the files seems to be doubled kind of streched to fit the screen, the writings and images are as twice as their original size in the flash documents, any one has a tutorial or somewhere where I can find an answer to this:I am lokking to making something closer to this:[URL]
View 3 RepliesI built a flash site and learned quite a bit. Now my site is starting to get sluggish as a result of a 3d graphic photo gallery. I really would like to keep it.My site gets slow after loading the gallery. Is there a way to clear the cache so to speak, after it's not being used?
View 4 RepliesI'm trying to resize a full flash site. I'm using if statements to do this. Is there a better way? I want the resize to hold the proportions. Additionally, my if-statement method is too cumbersome. It doesn't always keep the content in the center (doesn't resize to the content to be in the center).
Scenario: The base is a black background that resizes according to the window size. The main image stays in the middle of the page.
Code:
var holderAllMC:MovieClipLoader = new MovieClipLoader();
var holderAllMCListener:Object = new Object();
holderAllMCListener.onLoadProgress = function(target, loaded, total) {

I have to launch a full browser Flash site tonight, all is working great except one issue. The doc type which should be a validated working doc type (below) is throwing my whole flash to the top of the page leaving about 80% of the page all white:View problem site: http[url]....
Code:
<!DOCTYPE html PUBLIC "-//W3C//DTD XHTML 1.0 Transitional//EN" "http://www.w3.org/TR/xhtml1/DTD/xhtml1-transitional.dtd">
<html xmlns="http://www.w3.org/1999/xhtml">
But if I use an outdated doc type (below), it works just fine and fills the browser fluidly as it should.
This is in regards to Flash 9 (CS3). How can I embed an external .flv file into a full Flash site? I am looking for an action that can call a .flv and its components (player files) with play/stop controls. I see it's being done on this site
View 1 RepliesI am trying to set up google analytics for a full flash site.
I added code to the html page and I think it's working properly - to see who is going to my site. But...for more advanced tracking, I think I need to add code to the flash file too.
I'm making a fluid full browser flash site, and things are coming together nicely, but at some point, if the stage size gets too small (such as if someone is using a 800x600 resolution), things just don't look right. Things get all smooshed together and cause for a cluttered mess. To solve this, I put constraints on my stageResize function so the stage would only shrink down to a desired size. This worked great for the flash file, but I can't get the browser to add scroll bars are this point. I figured I would need a JavaScript file that would size the browser (or the div that contains the swf) and then constrain it as needed, but after digging around a few sites that perform the way I would like mine to, I am not seeing any such JavaScript files.

I've decided to finally make my own full flash site. I've got more than enough Flash and ActionScript (and XML) knowledge to pull it off nicely, but I was wondering if people who have already done this have any advice for me in terms of organizing the whole thing, so it's easy to upgrade and follow through during the time you build it. I was thinking a standard layout, maybe an intro and a first preloader, then a menu that choses sub-sections and each has an intro and outro transition? Oh, and for seperate sub-sections, do you put the preloaders in the main movie or do you include the preloaders seperately in each of the subsection swfs?

View 4 RepliesI m planing to create a full flash site. But in stead of jus an URL that lead the user to index.html, I wish to allow the URL to direct the user to goto specific page. It is sumthing like [URL]. note the URL, it passes parameter to the flash movie without reloading the swf. Any Idea how to create that?
View 6 RepliesJust finished our new site which is full screen Flash effort (link in my signature if you're interested), now I would really like to implement some accessibility features, bookmarking, history etc.The whole site has a central navController function through which nav requests pass which I've developed with this in mind, and I've got a vague idea of how to do this using invisible frames and passing variables through FlashVars but is there any consensus on what is the absolute best way of doing this? The new Attik site is a good example of what I want to achieve [url]

View 1 RepliesI am having trouble with an 'enter site in full screen' button.I have a title screen on one frame which on a button click should advance to the next frame & set full screen.Basically, when I test the movie it is fine, when I then test it live in a browser the movie loads but on button click doesn't go to my next frame or fullscreen.

I did the tutorial for "create a full flash site" under flash mx advance. I did everything right and it worked. Ok here is what i want to somebody to help me out.
The action: on (release) {
_root.contents.loadMovie("locations.swf");
}
because when i extracted the zip file it had only the different swf. files and the main file where they were going to be loaded. What i am saying is do all the swf. files have to have some connection to the main movie where i am loading the swf. files in order for it to work or it doesn't matter. so what am trying to say is i could have any swf. file and use that action to my main movie even if has nothing in come and it will play it.
My full screen flash site works oerfectly on Mac's (I have a mac). But on PC IE and Firefox the full screen flash site is cut off 1/4 of the way down the page (see screen shots in zip or test if you are on PC). live site [URL] The site uses a swf object (files included in the zip). I got this from a template on flashDen. my problem is that I only have my mac and can't test on PC IE / firefox. Not that I would know where to start. I think that the problem might be the swf object from [URL] but not sure? I need to sure my site to apply for jobs. But recruiters use PC and it is very embarrassing that they can only see 1/4 of the screen.

View 2 RepliesHow to create a fluid / liquid / fit to screen flash site with scrollBar. I am pretty much new to AS3 and flash. I have been looking for a way. To have, a background image contained in a MovieClip. Let's say: bg_mc and have it scaling automatically to fit the different user's Internet browser screens size. In other hand, have another MovieClip that handles and holds the site. Let's say: content_mc without being affected by the scaling of the bg_mc. And last, in the case... the content_mc height does not fit in the user's internet browser. Have the internet browser with its scrollBar so the user can scroll down and see the rest of the site. (right now my content_mc is being cut off the screen).
Examples Flash sites with this layout: [URL]. The Next Code: it does generate a full browser's background image but there is no scroll bar for IE or FireFox and in some cases stretch my content_mc if i play too much with StageScaleMode.

I can't attack my file here since it is too big.

I am aware of the built-in 'Strings' panel within the Flash IDE, however is this the best way to go about creating a multi-lingual AS3 site/application nowadays?Are there any recommended 3rd party APIs/frameworks available? Ideally I'd like to be able to change language on the fly and support as many character sets as possible, I will also be dealing with both static and dynamic text content.
View 6 RepliesOk so I have bought books and watched hours of tutorials and its painfully obvious that I am not picking AS3 (or any scripting)up very well.
I am creating a Flash Portfolio site and I am curious about the correct architecture. If I have a central Nav with corresponding animations, should the whole site reside on one stage or a new stage per animation?
If there is a FAQ or tutorial on Kirupa that covers this (I might have missed it)feel free to simply direct me there.
