View 3 RepliesI am creating a site, and I have this navigation system inside the portfolio page. But it is not working. So it is like this it is built. Default.fla is loading portfolio.fla inside a movie clip loader. and the portfolio.fla has a navigation system for different portfolio pieces. I have set up the first one to work (dasa design). so, I need the outro to play of hm1.fla (first file loaded) and then play the intro of the Dasadesign file. I know this has something to do with the depth and so, but I have tried many ways but not succeeded. files are found here! [URL]
View 3 RepliesI've been working on my first full blown flash site for a few weeks, tackling problems as I encounter them, and I've learned a lot...but sometimes the simplest things I cannot figure out for the life of me. All I am trying to do is have some flash banner SWF files play within the portfolio page of my site. I don't want them to open in a pop up or anything just play within the page when the link on my site is clicked. I figured it would act like a movie clip and I could just drop it onto the stage, but when I do that it doesn't look right, loops continuously, and is not interactive. How can I make this work?
View 0 RepliesI've been through Senoculars XML tutorial which can be found here and went further to read another thread (here ). about extending the Portfolio to allow for more thumbs--implementing a scrollbar-to Scotty This brings me to my questionQ: How can I do away with any scrolling and implement page numbers instead? So users could click the page numbers to go to the next lot of thumbnails in the section instead of scrolling up and down. The image below illustrates what im trying to achieve. As you can see I would like it to show current page, and overflow for page numbers that wont fit within the area dictated on the stage (rather like how threads work in this forum)
View 9 RepliesThere was a post about a month ago about page numbering what i THINK was senocular's xml portfolio. with the recent loss of some posts, this was wiped out as well. does anyone have it archived anywhere or does anyone have the file that was being passed around in that post?
View 1 RepliesI'm working on building a personal portfolio site right now. I wanted to add a scroll feature to one the pages. I wasn't sure how to build it, so I down loaded one off here [URL] and just plugged my own graphics into it. It scrolls up and down just fine, but when I try to put a mask over it, it doesn't work. In the content the author wrote for his movie he says "Note: If you want to have a mask over the content: copy MC:frame and make it a mask for MC:Page. If you do so, notice that "non-anti-alias text" is not possible anymore. This is a common thing in a Flash Movie. I keep trying that and it just blocks everything out all together. So what am I doing wrong?
View 1 RepliesThe enclosed image is a snapshot of part of my web page portfolio. At the moment it is placed jpgs into Dreamweaver. When you click on a work example it opens up a new browser window with the work example enlarged (old fashioned way). This is not really a problem but I was wondering if I put my work examples into flash CS4 how do I go about creating the effect of a work example instantly being magnified the moment someone clicks it? Like what happens when you click the enclosed image.
Is this an actionscript job or can this effect be produced without any complex scripting work? Perhaps someone knows a tutorial somewhere for a similar effect in Flash CS4. I would like the work examples to magnify quite large though. My thinking behind this was so people can't steal your work example JPGs so easily (flash portfolios seem to not allow saving of the content)
I have a weird problem,Flash banner is working "clickable" if the page url have preceding "www" and not working if not,So the if the URL in the address bar was [url]... the banner will be clickable and will redirect you to the link embedded in it, if the URL was [url]... the flash banner will not be working.
View 1 RepliesI have run across a strange problem. When I load products2.swf by itself, I can call the two "copy" files and everything works. When I open 0342.swf (the index page), I can switch between the home and products2 pages, but I can't view the "copy" pages.I'm guessing there may be some sort of conflict with variable names, but I have been messing with it for most of today.I have uploaded all of the FLA files to here:[url]....
If you make an swf file out of each of the attached items, and open the 0342 file, you will see what is supposed to be happening.

if (_root.currMovie == undefined) {
_root.currMovie = "home";[code].....
Request for all mac users: could you open Adobe's flash player page [URL]And check whether the sample movie runs or fails?
If you only get the audio/pauze/getflashplayer10 buttons, but the movie itself is just white space (just like my preview image), could you write down you mac's specs?
Or let me know why this perticular movie of adobe themselves doesn't work on my mac? I've got a mac os 10.4.11 with flash player 10 installed.
I have a background image that I inserted into flash movie. How to make the background works as fluid page? As I reduce the size of the window, there are white borders on top and bottom. Attached is the FLA.
View 2 RepliesI have a mc (houses_mc on frame1) (a long image the user can pan to the left or right) and I want to place some buttons in this movieclip to go to another page when CLICK. I put the second page on the second frame in the timeline, and so on. ( Is this alright or should I open it in a scene or as a new fla file?) So far I can't get my button work. It seems that As3 doesn't like btns placed in mc or something like that. The roll over and hover and hit works all fine, but when I click it doesn't go anywhere. The code I put for the button in the actions layer is:

I am using the following code for my Navigation in a FLash CS4 file:
stop ();
function buttons(event:MouseEvent):void{
gotoAndStop(event.target.name);
}
home.addEventListener(MouseEvent.CLICK,buttons);
services.addEventListener(MouseEvent.CLICK,buttons);
about.addEventListener(MouseEvent.CLICK,buttons);
contact.addEventListener(MouseEvent.CLICK,buttons);
It works great when I am on the home page, but stops working once I navigate to any of the other pages. I have an Actions layer and that layer extends the full length of all pages/frames of the timeline.
I have the frames labeled as such: home, services, about, and contact. (All are "Type:Name")
each button is named as such: home/ instance of "home", services/instance of "services", etc.

View 1 RepliesSo im trying to get my flash portfolio up and running. And im using the code I usually do for buttons which is for example:
function onbrandingClick(evt:MouseEvent):void {
gotoAndStop("branding");
}
branding.addEventListener(MouseEvent.CLICK, onbrandingClick);
All my menu buttons are working until I click on portfolio which has 6 different catergories and it just stops at branding and the other category buttons wont work. They are all set up fine with instances and such. However the buttons in the menu will still work.This might be confusing but I am up for sending the file to show someone if anyone is interested!
I have recently created a flash site and I am trying to update my online portfolio. How do I take a snapshot of the homepage of the flash site for my portfolio?
View 2 RepliesI am working on a portfolio in flash which dynamically defines the target of the buttons. When a button is click an external swf is loaded, and the button sends the value of a variable to the loaded swf. So far I got it to work as I want it to, BUT the ouput-panel keeps giving the message:
Target not found: Target="this._parent.project" Base="_level0.button_1"
I am using this code:
on (release) {
this._parent.project.loadMovie("project.swf");
tellTarget ("this._parent.project") {
pnumber = a;
}}
The "pnumber" var is used in de project.swf to define a folder. "a" is a var with a numeric value. I know the tellTarget is an old-fashioned way of scripting, but so far it is the only piece of script that actually does what I want it to do (except for the error-message)
I tried:
Code:
on (release) {
this._parent.project.loadMovie("project.swf");
this._parent.project.pnumber = a;
}
But this resulted in an undefined var in my target clip, while the tellTarget did return the value for 'a'/'pnumber'.
I am trying to create an app used to display my company's portfolio. This includes a show-reel section.I developed it using HTML and jQuery, and converted it into an AIR app using the plugin for Dreamweaver.Admittedly this my first attempt at creating an app this way, but it all went smoothly until I wanted to play the video.
My Flash video player does not work, and according to some similar posts I read this is because of a referencing issue. I found several solutions for Flex, but that does not help my specific case.HTML 5 does not seem to work in AIR 2.0 either, so I am a bit stumped.
i want to make a new portfolio site in flash... i was thinking on using as much server-side scripting as possible, to make in easier to update and add some features like flash guestbook/mail form and some other stuff... I was wondering... is it possible using php and mysql to add content to the portfolio without modifying the flash itself? Is there a tutorial regarding this? WHat i want, exactly is to be able to add photos, sites, prints and other stuff to my portfolio like i would add a post to this forum... the title being the title, the message being the description of the project and the pic i can attach being the photo itself..
View 14 Repliesmy web site is based on pop-ups... which i am thinking now was pretty stupid as most people seem to have pop-up blockers. Well i havnt got the time at the moment to change the whole site, but perhaps some one could tell me an alternative way of loading the first flash screen (after the index html page), centered and with no boarders from the initial screen.
View 1 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.
My portfolio is going to consist of certain experiments I have done in flash like this[URL]and I am trying to work out in my head at the design stage how I should go about implementing them on my website.
- [URL] - he uses split frames, but this limits what you can do with the portfolio bit
- [URL]- loads them into a new window, but can lose focus of the portfolio
- I have momentary thought about using popups.. then I remembered how crass and annoying they are xD
IDEALLY I would like to have the projects loading within my flash portfolio on one page.. and it might be possible seeing as they are mostly single sprite class files.. but the logistics of optimization.. importing the classes.. creating and deleting them completely is a massive challenge...
I really want to use this panning/scrolling effect for some thumbnails in a flash portfolio. My only problem is it's AS3 and I'm using Flash 8 (AS2). I've tried re-working the code, but with no luck. It's the EventListener that is confusing me!
Code:
var verticalCenter:Number = stage.stageHeight / 2;
var limit:Number = stage.stageHeight - content_mc.height;
var speed:Number = 0.1;
var scrollY:Number = 0;
addEventListener(Event.ENTER_FRAME, scrollContent);
function scrollContent(e:Event):void {
scrollY = - speed * ( mouseY - verticalCenter );
content_mc.y+= scrollY;
if (content_mc.y>0) { content_mc.y= 0;}
else if (content_mc.y< limit) { content_mc.y= limit; }}
I've got some flash-movies I've made that I want in my flash-portfolio.I've tried the load movie script, but then the flash-movie get's the same FPS as the portfolio.
