Anyway what I need is a banner (or galleri) which pulls in external images. But i want it to be able to automatically get new images which I put in the folder.Also i want to be able to position this, since im going to make a banner/menu combo ( I can post an image of the concept if actually i have a link to the site where im want to use itI want to position the the banner in between the graphic to the left and right and I also want to position the menu on top of the banner.I've read some tutorials where you use a placeholder which i guess is what i'm supposed to do here.

View 1 RepliesI am doing an animation for a web site with Flash CS3. I need to make images (.jpg) that I converted in graphic symbols, to pass along the screen continuously. I know, for many of you this must be very basic question, but I don't know how to solve it. My problem is that the images vibrate so much making the animation to look bad.

I'm wanting to build a project, it's an online video creation software in Flash so people could upload some music, choose videos from a library, edit the whole thing and export and download a movie in the end. I've seen websites like www.Animoto.com close to what I want to do but I can't find how it's made and I'd like to make it a little more advanced when it come to editing.
Here is the design I'm thinking about for the flash video editor. [URL] Is possible to build such a video editor in Flash?
how I can have my swf fill the entire browser (as in publish settings 100% w & h etc) but not stretch/distort the text and images in the swf.
There is a site [URL] that does this. It fills the whole screen yet when you resize, the objects do not become distorted.
I may have the wrong approach with publish settings width & height 100%??
So I'm trying to make Flash video work at [URL].. Things are going swimmingly in Safari and Firefox. Not so in IE.
I completely expect this is due to my Flash incompetence. where things are going wrong? I'm attempting different methods to input my video in each of these cases:

I know I'm missing something fundamental here, as all three examples are broken. I'm not necessarily just looking for the fix for each of these three. I'd like for your help understanding what I don't understand it, and how to understand it.
Eventually, I'd like to build a template where the client could throw either an .flv or .mpeg4 or .mov at it, and voilà, but is something like this even possible, given I correct my current, idiotic Flash principles?

I'm working on a Flash video slideshow (which you can preview here).
I would like to be able to make it so you can click a button (I've got one made in the doc already) that will make just the video on each "slide" go full screen, similar to how you can do so with other videos on sites like YouTube and others.
While what I've linked to above is just a template I'm messing with, I'd like to be able to have a video on the right, let's say, with text on the left, and then be able to click a button (perhaps under the video that says "full screen) and have the video that is there fill the whole window and play. And then, hitting escape would bring you back.
I've seen plenty of tutorials for making Flash go fullscreen, but nothing out there yet for just the FLV contained on the page go full screen.
is there anyway to make a flash chatroom with video webcam capabilities without using flash comm / media server?

View 2 Repliesanyone knows a flash library to covert series of images into video file?
View 1 RepliesI am creating a Flash site for a client who wants to display many (about 15) fairly hi-res photos as well as a video. I am using the Video class to display and control the video, and the Loader class to load the photos. I preload them from an XML file up front, while "loading..." is displayed.
The video plays immediately after the loader finishes, and the user can also choose to view the slideshow, which has left/right arrows which show each photo with a simple fade tween between each one.
The problem I am having seems to be that when all these assets are loaded, the video and the "fade" effects are very choppy. If I cut down on the number of photos, everything works fine; but I have to include all of them, plus the video.
I am storing all the Loader instances in an array, and when they are requested, I add them to the stage and fade them in. When it finishes fading in I remove the previous one from the stage. So they are all stored in Flash's "memory", but there is only one Loader or Video instance on the stage at any given time. Is there a better way to handle this? Perhaps some way to cache the images but not bog down Flash's memory? I would prefer to have everything loaded up front in order to avoid needing a "loading..." for every slide.
Part of a web application I am developing requires the ability to capture still images from a Flash or HTML5 video playing with in a browser. Actually, users of this web app will also have to have the ability to:
Draw a crop box on top of the Flash/HTML5 video player
Be able to resize that box if necessary
Capture the image with in the crop box frame
Have that image be saves and sent to the server
Also, this video image crop/capture tool will also have to be restricted to the perimeter of the video frame. I don't want users getting confused and potentially capturing an image outside of the video frame because all we are concerned about is the content of the video.
I'm searching a solution to play a HTML 5 Video and show different images (or similar) on various points (e.g. min 2:15) in the video.
Is this even possible or I should rather use Flash?
I am trying to export a flash animation as a mov, so i can convert it for html5. When I export the movie, the animation has artifacts in it, strange things do not erase correctly, they do not show when i view it in Flash, or when I view the exported flv file.
So as you can see, there is a 1/2 drawn image. They round things are floating down, but for some reason, as they float down to stack, they leave behind some partial images.
I am trying to load my images with xml and then turn them into movieclips and attach an eventlistener. With the code below this is the error I get.
ReferenceError: Error #1069: Property name not found on flash.net.URLLoader and there is no default value.at MethodInfo-1()
I previously had all those images in the library. They were attached to a father clip with attachMovie(), and next they were placed and resized somewhere on the stage. Everything was correct.So, in order to create a lighter SWF, I decided to do external loads. I need these clips to be resized and placed once they're on the stage. I thought loadMovie() wouldn't be a good option because the resize would happen before the clips were loaded, and so they wouldn't be resized. So I thought of using the MovieClipLoader class, with its loadClip() method in order to load every image into empty movie clips, and perform the resize inside the onLoadComplete event handler.

Now I know how to load in a single image and add it to my movie clip but things get very complicated when I want to load in 20+ by iterating through a loop. I've looked at many examples and just cant adopt the sample code to work for me. Anyway without a further a do here is what I have so far.
