ActionScript 3.0 :: Animation Not Working In Template?
Nov 3, 2010
I have a flash file that I created that basically runs an animation, stops, than has 5 buttons that call upon other swf files to popup and show dynamic text from a txt file. I have the animation running perfectly and everything works but when I try and implement it into a website template the buttons do not call to the other swf files. It runs the initial animation from main.swf, but when any of the buttons are clicked nothing happens.I made sure that all files were uploaded, even the txt files. The bottom of the browser reads "Transferring data from website..." So it sounds like its trying to read the actionscript but its taking too long to process.
MAIN.SWF
Code:
stop();
var popUpLoader:Loader = new Loader();[code].......
I'm using the file from the online template below, but am going to replace the flag with a man's tie that's going to be "flapping in the wind" momentarily.BUT I need to add a small amount of animation before this "flapping" animation begins, as well as after it, and I only want the flapping to last about 1.5 seconds or so - not continually looping.

I don't know how to even begin to add the animation I need before/after, and to edit the time down on the looping.
I have created a flash gallery using the in built template in Flash8, which works fine. The gallery forms part of my gallery page of a separate SWF flash site. I load the gallery using a loder component. Since the gallery navigation works by targeting the root folder, my site gets screwed up. The question is, how do i modify the ActionScript in the gallery.fla file (flash inbuilt template), so that once loaded into the main site, it doesnt target the root timeline, but targets its own timeline i.e.Please see below for the code in the Flash Gallery. PS: I didnt write the code - its inbuilt into the template:
function updateFrame (inc) { // send slides to new frame newFrame = _level1._currentFrame + inc; _level1.gotoAndStop(newFrame); updateStatus();
I inherited a product tour template that when published works fine in players 9 and below. But when it gets loaded by player 10 all the xml parsed into the media controller at the bottom of the tour swf defaults to "true". What is going on? Is this a permissions security problem? All of the files are in the same folder and the swf is reading the xml - it just isnt parsing it correctly.
I can usually fumble my way through things *and i usually like to figure things out on my own* I did find a few other threads on this, but the only conclusive thing i came across was the _lockroot = true; which works beautifully.. untill u navigate to the drag and drop portion.
If you make multiple flash files from the same template and then edit that template, will all those files have those same changes? If not, is there a way to make the same change on multiple files at once? Basically the same idea as linking HTML files to a single CSS file...
Jesus Christ - I thought I was really good in flash.Got this template and I can't see S***. WTH - is it supposed to be this difficult to manipulate a template or am I stupid??? Go into project explorer and can't see much AS so how the hwll are they getting the images and text into the flash swf. By the html??? I don't think so.
I have made an animation, when i veiwed it as a preveiw in flash CS4 it works fine.So I published it as both a HTML fie and SWF.The HTML file runs perfectly fine, but the SWF file is missing almost all of the illustrations and the play button at the begining, the sounds all work fine however.. I have no Idea what to do or what I have done wrong and it is driving me crazy as I wanted to post it on the net so my friends can see it....
*I can't post the file due to the company policy, so I'll do my best to explain. 3 movie clips: slide 1, 2, and 3. Each loads an external image.
Layers (how I have them set up): slide 1 slide 2 slide 3
The slides have a 3d feel, as if they are in the distance. When the user clicks one, the slide(mc) motion-tweens towards the screen, while the other 2 stay back. Obviously, if slide 2 comes towards the screen then slide 1 will be over top of it DUE TO layer structure (above). And of course, 1 & 2 will be over slide 3. To get around this I made a "current" layer over top of all the slide layers. So if I click on slide 2/3 then the tween is up on the "current" layer instead of the "slide 2/3" layer so that it's the highest.
It is a horizontal layout and when you click on certain buttons it side scrolls to that specific area. The buttons don't execute the actionscript that I need them to not to mention that some images are missing.
Also, are there any bulk packaging publisher settings like InDesign has? I think there may be a problem in the location of some files and I think Flash may not be locating them properly.
I'm building a website and decided I was going to work with a pre-built web template. Problem is, as I painfully found out, my host wants the file structure of the site a very certain way (html pages in the root directory, media-files folder, image-files folder, support-files folder following that). I had to go through the template and recode a good bit of it myself (only knowing HTML, while the site is written in HTML, CSS, Java, and Flash). I've gotten the vast majority of the site working now.. on my computer at least.
I went through the flash file and corrected the directories so it could find the background pictures it needs and saved the file. Now, when I hit CTRL+Enter in CS4, the preview comes up correction and works flawlessly. However, when I bring the file up in firefox, the flash animation is STILL missing the background images. Also, I need to move a related file to the flash animation into another folder, but when I do that the text disappears, even after correcting the directory in flash.
The template I'm working with can be found here : Click. The flash animation in question is on the mid-left side of that page, where you can click the arrow to proceed through 4 different slides. Also having problems with the logo of the site, where the text will disappear if I move the related file I was talking about (A text file).
Here are pictures of the problem: No background: Click No Background/No text (moved text file, corrected directory): Click What I see in Flash CS4: Click I've also tested the site in Internet Explorer, same problem. I'm guessing there's probably a simple fix for this, but being unfamiliar with flash I just don't know it...
I am a Noob to ActionScripting and am having problems getting some movieclips to link to different URLs on release. I am able to get them to animate, and I am able to get them to link to an html page in the same folder, but I can�t get both functionalities to work at the same time and it is driving me crazy!! I've tried putting the actionscript in the instance object, in the action layer, and other things and nothing seems to work!?I believe that the actionscripting needs to be done in the "baners" movieclip, but it could also be the "Symbol 3" movieclip
Here is also a link to the . See, if you mouse over the first two clips, they animate, but they do not go to the HTML page if you click on them. The third clip will go to the page success1.html in the same folder if you click on it, but it does not animate on mouse over.I'm using Flash CS3 as my editor and I'm using ActionScript 2.0 for the scripting
Using the greensock tween engine I have a little effect going over my button. It works when I publish on my desktop. But stops working when I import the swf into my main swf. It's the scaling e.target, that is not working!
I have a class which extends a SWC , in the swc i have two boxes, front and back and an animation on the same timeline. The animation works fine without swapping when I swap them the animation stops working.[code]...

Here is the link to the source file: [URL] believe that the actionscripting needs to be done in the "banners" movieclip, but it could also be the "Symbol 3" movieclip.

I really need to make this work [URL]. My problem is that when I add an animation to the mask, the buttons that I have inside a movieclip, they stop working as a button.
After hitting next on this animation you can see there appears to be blank areas on the animation. If you mouse over them you will see buttons appear which is their "over state." When I publish the animation and preview it in Adobe Flash CS5.5 all the buttons are visible and work correctly. It is only in the brower (chrome, firefox, safari) with up to date Flash Player that is is not working. This is happening in a number of animations I created originally in CS4 last year, and am updating them as CS5.5 using AS3.
I have a movieclip that shows an animation onRollOver and an animation on RollOut but onRelease the animation enlarge itselfs but now when I'll roll out when the animation isn't open (so i didn't release) the animation plays the animation for the minimizing of the animation. Here's my code (I know its a bit amateuristic but I'm not a programmer )
I have a IT background and have been able to alter most of the template by myself to the design I would prefer my website to have. However I have hit a snag, it looks like part of the flash website design is controlled by bitmap images therefore I concluded those images were under the sources within the PSD folder. I tried creating a PNG file and double clicking the relevant bitmap and then updating it with the new file. However after I perform a publish preview the the change made no impact to the design.
I have built a template for a client that I would like to use for every page of the site. The problem, of course, is that the content within each page has to be changed. Ideally, I'd even change the layout; for example, some might have images, others just all text, others tables, etc.
I have this template that i am modifying [URL] Photo gallery i am trying to use[URL] when you click on any of the images the site reframes and then you see a xml text box i want to replace that xml text box with an xml photogallery but i am not really familiar with the language and its been a long time since i did any web work.
I am customising a Template Monster template that has a flash menu.When I changed the getURL code (using AS2) of my flash menu buttons they work for an external URL but do nothing in my site. EG.THIS WORKSgetURL("index.html");THIS DOESNTI have everything in the same root folder and the animated menu bar works perfectly in-situ, just wont go from page to page.
I have two questions (I'm a photographer and flash novice):
1) I just bought this flash template (URL...) and I need to edit it. Rewriting the text is easy, I just rewrite it in XML files, but I cant figure out how to change the font, font color and font size. Could somebody tell me how to do it?
2) I also bought this template (URL...) and I cant figure out how to edit name in the header and text in the top menu. I really cant find it anywhere (I dont see it in Adobe Flash and I dont see any jpeg or PSD file in the flash directory...)
I'm going to use a Flash template as the basis for a new website. I have loaded the Flash files into Flash but I would like to work individually with some of the graphics images in the Library and edit them using Photoshop or Gimp afterwhich I will udpate them. I can't figure out how to exports or copy any or all of the elements in the Library so I can edit them
