When I click on my 'Publish' link (with the FLA file open on my desktop in MX 2004), I am able to generate the actual movie file, but when I 'Publish' it in HTML I just get a black screen (the background colour of my FLA file), plus the outline of a 'frame' where the movie should appear.In fact, I have tried to open other HTML files (just by double-clicking them) I have associated
View 0 RepliesMy Flash file is working but the html will not open and play. I've never had this issue before. I brought into Dreamweaver and saved it out hoping that might make a difference but still the same.
View 16 RepliesSo I do the usual html publish to copy the code and there's no < embed > tag in the code... only the usual < object > with it's params.
So I mess around with the options of the html publish dialog and no luck, still exports without the embed tag.
So I think.. "hmm that must be a problem with the template of flash cs5" and I go to dreamweaver cs5 and try the insert media > swf option... and still no < embed > !
Did something change in the world where we don't need anymore the embed tag?
I am using Flsh cs5. I have created a simple .fla file. But when i publish , .swf and .html file are not created in the folder.And when i test the movie(control->test movie), it doesnt open any window to show the flash.
View 3 RepliesWhen I publish my FLV video using Flash CS3 and the "SkinUnderAll" option...the player controls are not visible unless I change the height & width in the html file Flash created.But, Flash shows the height & width 3-times in the html.
Question-1: Why 3-times? What does each of the 3 Height & Width references do?
Question-2: How should I modify the code to be able to see the entire video and the player controls?
It seems if I change all 3 everything just gets bigger and bigger.
1 - I import it into Flash CS3 on a PC w/XP Pro using... File | Import | Video take all the defaults and choose "Skin Under All" as the player option.
2 - In "Properties" panel at bottom of screen Flash shows the video as 640x480
3 - I then click File | Publish to publish the video. Flash creates all my files for me.
MyVideo.fla
MyVideo.flv
MyVideo.html
MyVideo.swf
SkinUnderAll.swf
AC_RunActiveContent.js
4 - I then put the folder with the files on my website.
5 - The video plays but the player controls are not visible.
6 - I see the Height & Width referenced 3 times in the html file Flash created for me (and none are 640x480, they are 550x400 !)
7 - I try changing the 550x400 to 640x480 in all three places... no good. Even at 1000x1000 the entire player is not visible. Everything just gets larger.
What are each of the 3 references to Height and Width in the html file Flash Creates and which should I change to simply show all the player controls?
I have a flash header for an html site that is about a megabyte and obviously needs a preloader. Unfortunately it won't work to have the preloader loading at the top while the rest of the html below is visible — it will end up looking like the top navigation is cut off, as the top 10 pixels of the nav bar is actually in the swf header (fully loaded it will look contiguous)Is there a way to preload it in one html page and then once it's loaded into the cache automatically jump to the page with the big swf?
View 1 RepliesLet me ask how to program an html page to move to a new web page on user's clicking an item of an embedded flash movie? But , in detail, I actually want to do a little different thing. I want that the parent html page remains there ,instead I want a child html frame has a new page after user's clicking the list item of the embedded flash movie.
View 2 RepliesI have a site where all the pages have a common SWF embedded at the top (Nav and banner), but the rest of the page is HTML.Everything is working fine, but I'm finding the 'independence' between the HTML and Flash is making for some sloppy transitions from page to page.I was expecting the SWF to be delayed, at least for the first page visit(and I have a preload routine inside the swf to make it's delay and appearance a bit more visually pleasant), but was surprised to sometimes find the SWF appearing and playing while the HTML content was delayed (resulting in a SWF floating in black).What I'm wondering is if there's a way I can do some sort of preload on my index page.BUT, not the standard one that I'm sure everyone would suggest (like the javascript image 'preload', or the newer 'css visibility' preload trick). The problem with the standard one is that it doesn't check to see if everything is loaded.What I'm after is a routine on my index page that invisibly loads some of the elements from my inner pages (common swf, maybe some of the images) and WAITS until it's done before moving to the inner pages (displaying the company logo and/or a load status in the meantime).Many people would suggest a preloader inside the common SWF on my inner pages (which I have), but the problem with that on its own is that it doesn't stop the HTML from displaying.
I'm trying to figure out a way to do a preloader (like those in a SWF, which loops until everything is loaded) that controls both the SWF AND the HTML.Recently, I found that you can use one swf to preload another, which would be a potential solution, as I could make an SWF on the index page whose sole purpose is to load (invisibly) the common SWF, displaying the load status and then loading an inner html page once it's done.Problem is, I have bee having trouble finding the coding for that, as most searches for preloaders end up being about standard preloaders, where it's monitoring the same SWF that the code is on, as opposed to controlling a second, external SWF.Can someone point me to or provide me with the proper coding/procedure for a preloader that controlls a second external swf or give me a better solution?
one?
I want to build function on my site where I click on the link, and a new page (background opacity maybe at like 50%) - which consists of a video in the center and a link or two - floats on top of the already existing html page. I've seen this done a few times and I think it's a really cool function.
View 1 RepliesI've been trying to recreate the effect on this page [URL] change the height of the page and notice how it's content moves.
how you make a .swf placed onto a html page be as wide as the page, and let the flash file know how wide it is being displayed so the content does not stretch out
I have a html/flash site now, [URL]. i access email from my site itself by giving the userid and pwd text box which i copied from the actual website hosting my email access. i copied the entire <form...></form> tag to my page and thus was able to put the name and pwd in my home page only and access the email in a separate window. now i have redesigned my webpage using only flash. i would like to know how i can implement the same using flash. as i have not much experience using action scripting i am a bit stuck about how you pass the hidden form variables. the below is the the exact form syntax:

I need to allow users to preview audio files for purchasing. I have CF pages that return records form a SQL database. Each record contains the same swf file however, each swf file points to a different mp3 for previews of different audio examples. So far, everything is working fine. My problem is that I need to be able to stop the sound from one swf when I click to play a second swf .The only solutions I see in Flash forums deal with loaded swf files. These are not loaded files they are separate files within a page. The question is: How do control one swf from another swf in the same page.The following items have not worked: soundChannel.stop();,soundMixer.stopAll()
View 2 Replieswhen you go to the home.html page an animation will play from start and then stop at the end of it. However, for all other pages i.e contact.html aboutus.html we need the animation to skip to the end straight away and not to play the whole animation through. I was thinking this would be controlled by a variable or some kind of external text file ect. Basically in the first frame the actionscript needs to basically say
"if this html page is aboutus.html then go to the last frame and stop" and with the index page it would say "if this html page is index.html then keep playing"
I want to set link of another html page on flash file.

View 1 Repliesi'm trying to build a flash site and ran into a problem... i have a gallery page with a bunch of page numbers at the top. when you click on one, a movieclip loads of some images coming in.so the problem i'm having is that i made a little animation for when you roll the mouse over the page number (they scale up when the mouse is over, scale back when the cursor moves away)... what it's doing is when you roll over, it goes to a certain frame in the timeline and plays that animation.that's all working cool, but i need it to not do that once it's clicked on. so basically when you actually click on a page number, the over script should stop until you go to another page... here's the code i've written,
function over(event:MouseEvent):void {
this.gotoAndPlay(30);}

i'm an motion-graphics designer, who had experience with flash only this was 8 year's ago. I'm not a programmer so I allways had people around me who could do the flash things. So I absolutely have no idea how it works.
Now i'm making a website, with an swf which play's an flv. The flv can be paused etc. now is my question, after the flv is played I want this to redirect to for example index2.html where are a couple of links. and from that page you can go to the next.
I've seen on the web a lot of reactions about this question, people say use the playerdiy.com. but that's not gonna work for me now.. Because i have set the design up this way (picture in swf which say's ichap etc, with a black solid where the video is been played).
Playerdiy does what i want's but i wanna have my swf design what I used here: [URL] this is with playerdiy: [URL]

1. I have an .swf framework file that imports two other .swf files into itself to be viewed. The actionscript to import the other .swf files is as below. This works in firefox 3.0.5, but not in any other newer or older version of firefox, even if they have the latest, and same flashplayer 10 versions installed. It doesn't work in explorer either but in opera it works. I't doesn't matter if I use mac or PC. Why ? Is there something wrong with my actionscript ? For now the page with the imported .swfs just shows up empty.
var loader:MovieClipLoader = new MovieClipLoader();
var loadHandler:Object = new Object();
loader.addListener(loadHandler);[code].....
