ActionScript 2.0 :: Create An Online Brochure That Users Design With Products?
Aug 12, 2003
i'm trying to create an online brochure that users design with products/images they've selected. users will be able to drag a thumbnail to a pre-designed area, then swap them around to their liking. currently i'm in the beginning stages and just learning the power of actionscript.
i've attached two sample .fla files i've been working with. the first sample i have two thumbnails drag to a target and enlarge to a defined size. the second sample i used a tutorial from flashkit --- drag drop swap. it works but the as is not up-to-date. i'm trying to incorporate the two ideas together but get bizarre effects. most of the examples i find are close but no cigar.
I am looking for a tutorial that will show me how to create an online 'design & print' service. ie the app has say 3 text areas / 3 image areas / drawings areas and a seperate controls to rotate the text and images etc. I then need to export the data as a vector for digital printing.
I am trying to create an ibrochure or ebrochure, an online brochure where the user of it can turn its pages. It also looks like the content is actually on the page. Is there anyone who knows a trick or .fla file already on the site?
I am trying to find a way to create an interactive brochure with page curls, hyperlinks, printable, etc. Is this possible using Adobe software?I thought it would be something you would create in Flash or Fireworks, but can't seem to find any info on it. I know you can create a primitive one in Indesign to a certain extent, but I am looking to add more that that to it.
Also, I created an interactive brochure from Indesign, but the file is about 6MB and loads very slow on the web.
I have been searching the web for ages but I can't find a tutorial which explains how to create an e-brochure, like the on in the following link: [URL] I can find plenty of places which can do it for me, but I want to create my own.
I'm building simple application on as3. Kind of starship game. What I want to do is to create several different star ships. Each one should have different images (different look), different sets of animation (e.g. when it's flying, burning, damaged), different kind of weapon and also different controllers (e.g. one can be managed by user, another one by computer, and I want to be able to reuse same ships for AI controller as well as for users controls). Each ship is created in the following way:
Create entity Add spatial Add renderers Add other components.... ...... n. init the ship
So what I am trying to do:
1) Create StarShip superclass, to store HP (as every ship has it), store spatial (same reason)
2) Create inherited class for any other ship..(It will contain renderer - (responsible for display part), weapon, set of animations), etc
What do you think about such way of composition? Maybe it's better to place everything in super class, and then just create instances using long, long, long constructors like:
Example: If my SWF has a simple 2D charactor sprite, which moves around on a 2d background... What will I need to make it so that a player has to create an account and sign in, and then others can do the same and they can all see each other in the room. I have been unable to find resources on what it takes to turn a flash game into a chatroom or an "MMO".
I want to make a script that will list online users when they enter a page.Simple way is record newly entered users into MySQL and list them for example every second.But I don't think it's a good idea with tons of users like in a facebook app come in and out of the page.There would be a way with Flash and PHP sockets but I really don't want to use Flash either.So is there any option left?
How to make users online counter with AS and php.Sample: if in my page are 5 users and one of them close browser my page show online 4 users!!! and when another people come then show online 5 users

I have bought a chat package, and over 9 months i am running into the problem hat it is gooing slow with more users online. So i decided to install the "flash debug player 10" and check what exacly is happening. Within 2 minutes the flashlog.txt (error log of debug player) was 195KB I will now paste the error messages that are dumped into flashlog.txt tha occur the most and i think it seems as if the error message comes from a loop, because there are so many of these warnings:
I want to make a brochure similar to this one: http:[url]....I'm web developer but new in brochures, so what technologies are used in it? Where to get this flash animation, and how to insert the brochure in it?
This may seem like a noobish question (and it is) but I have created some AS code to help assist in a project of mine in a level design class to create a mock interface for a game. It works fine on the first screen but once you hit any button and go to the next and then try to go back, the code breaks and I am not sure why. Ive tried multiple things to get it to work but nothing seems to help. The code I am using is
ActionScript Code: storybtn.addEventListener(MouseEvent.CLICK, start1); function start1(MouseEvent){ gotoAndPlay(2); }
i'm trying to create a swf that retrieves the users location (town)I've looked about online and it seems this could be done by using longitutde/latitude values for example(Guessing thats how you would do it - open to suggestions though!)I've seen working examples of this on various peices of flash that magically tell you what town your.
I'm trying to create a grid where the users can 'draw' across it and change the colors of the grid squares to a chosen color.In the following code, I'm creating the grid with squares. I've got the functionality 'working', but it's only working on the last square instanced.How do I get it to work on all the squares, not just the last one?
I want to make a game where a user logs in. Once the user logs in, they have access to a database (let's just say a database of weapons). They could choose a certain amount of "weapons" and every time they log in, they still have the same weapons, regardless of cookies, because the "weapons" are linked to their username. Then the users could use their weapons to battle other users. Also, the user's username keeps track of their wins and losses. I have newb to basic flash knowledge (I took an animations class); I could animate, make buttons, websites, etc. Does anyone have some insight that could point me in the right direction?
I am looking to build an app that allows end users to draw and save mini animations (simple predetermined shapes that move in 2D). So far I have a written a app that allows the user to draw a single frame using simple shapes and lines, but I am having some small troubles at this stage, and have not attempted to allow the user to animate or save the drawing.
If anyone knows of a tutorial or some other resource to put me on the right path I would be very grateful. I can also share what I have if anyone would be willing to give me some pointers
I am developing a ASP.NET web site where users will need to be able to create their own business cards. So, I'm looking for a tool (most likely Flash) that I can easily integrate into a web site and lets users add text and custom images to their cards and then create an image and/or PDF from their work.
HOW CAN I CREATE BUTTONS THAT LET USERS SET THE SIZE OF THE SHAPES THAT THEY PAINT? I have written syntax that let mouse movements paint ellipses and rectangles and I have also added buttons that allow users to switch between painting ellipse and painting rectangles.
For my wishlist site, I would like to propose widgets to my users in order to publish their wishlist on their blog or personal website. The idea is to propose a few lines of code to my users that they only need to copy/paste to insert the widget displaying their wishlist. What is the best way to create/develop a widget ?
Is there a better way than in Flash? It would be a test of 50 multiple-choice and true-false questions, which would follow 300-400 PowerPoint slides. The slides could be jpg's loaded via xml or even put right into the fla/swf. The slides could also be on another part of the site and just the test would be in Flash.
I want to create on online advent calendar. I somehow need the actionscript in my swf to recognise what the date is and then go to a certain frame within my movie.I'm hoping you can somehow get actionscript to recognise the local date on the users computer and if it's a particular date, to gotoAndStop at a certain point within the timeline.
I want to create a flash application where users will have access to 10, 5 seconds audio loops. They can choose any 4 tracks to make a 20 second track. I then want that mp3 to be stored somewhere or flash to create to a file which can be sent to friends in facebook where they can listen to that beat. There will be a little button at the bottom saying 'click here' to make your own beat.
I'm trying to create a resizing script for a client that is allowing users to upload photos through their site. SInce most of the photos will be huge this will help in performance. I've had some experience in the saving of a jpeg from Flash but I'm stuck with the scaling. I'm saving the uploaded file to the server. Reloading it into a movie clip, resizing it based on my desired sizes and then saving it back to the server in its new size. When I'm resizing I'm just using the scale properties to resize the loaded large image. When I get my bitmap data of the scale mc it's not taking the data from the scaled clip it's taking the data from the unscaled mc. So my data is basically the upper left hand corner of the original image instead of the whole image.
I've tried nesting the movie clips so that the top clip isn't scaled.I've tried duplicating the data from the scaled clip into a new non scaled clip and that doesn't work either.I've tried not using scale and just using width and height, doesn't work either.
I have being thinking to create a website for music uploading and downloading!I have thought a lot and had been able to create it! But i'am stuck with this fear that windows media player would not be able to support with other browsers like SAFARI!
I am loading products from XML in Roll Over ,A movie clip appears I m trying to display Description , Price & Link in a MovieClip when I move to that movieClip , as it moves away from image(on which roll-over was trigrred ) my description movieClip gone
