ActionScript 3.0 :: Building A Portfolio Of 'flash Experiments'?
Oct 8, 2009
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...

So 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 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..

my 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.

Ok 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.

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'm creating a flash portfolio which contains a 3D panel as a gallery which works relatively well right now. I wanted to put a preload so I put my preload code on the first frame and order to gotoandPlay(2) the second frame which works to but when the loading is done my 3D panel is totally ignored, the panel works with a class of course. Actually the problem seems to be more with the frame skip because I put my preload code in commentary and just having a frame before screws up my panel.

ive been attempting to make a portfolio of my music and art in flash which is basically just 4 scenes that have buttons at the edges which i want to be able to move over and have it animated to look like its scrolling in the direction of the next scene
i broke each screen down into dummy scenes so i could work out problems without ruining a real project and so far (with this forums help) ive been able to create a music screen with on/off buttons and clickable thumbnails for the art screen etc etc so far so good...i even managed to get the buttons working with 3 different 'entry' animations depending on which scene it came from
so yesterday i decided to make the proper project starting with the navigation structure and space for 3 entry anims per scene...i thought i had made everything the same as before but nothing happens when i publish it...the buttons dont work at all
here is the link to the project 'main002' (dummy animations atm) and my previous working dummy nav test as well as a word document showing how its supposed to work (although ive slightly changed the order of the screens now)[URL]..can anyone tell me why its not working but did on the previous test?

I'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?

I have no idea what to call it or where to start looking, so I am putting it in the generic and hopefully someone can point me to the right forum or area. Here is my project and I am trying to teach myself how to do these things. I had great help in making buttons on here a while back, now I am trying to build an object right in flash. The easiest thing for most to relate to is a computer that is being built from scratch. So, You start with a base picture of an open sided computer with a list of components underneath. By draggin those components to the box, it snaps them in place. You can also remove them the same way. When done, you click a tally button and it shows a list of all the components you added with product numbers.

converting my swf to exe and app. I know that there are several options available. My application will be frequently updated so update feature is essentions for me.
p.s. As another option, I can make app and exe out of a loader app that will load main application module every time it is updated.
my main concern is about build in update feature inside projector eg. Mac app will be able to check for new version of my app automatically...

building a preloader in Flash. It's about pre-loading swf files in the background while the visitor is watching a page. For instance, I have a start page built in HTML. It will have links to various swf-clips. I would like for those swf-clips to start caching immediately once the HTML page is loaded so that there is no (or little) delay once the visitor clicks on any of the links.

I'm trying to figure out where to get started on a menu like the one found at:There are several links, and as you rollover each of them, it changes the image above them. However, the image above them has links in it as well.I'm completely lost on where to get started as it seems like rolling over opens another page right above it.

HOW do I go about doing it?Ive tried...buttonon "over" create to movie clipinside movie clip have my animations and sublink buttonsit works fine, but there's one problem, The hit area of the main button HAS to cover the hidden sublinks, so even if you scrolled your mouse over the bottom of the button (in the invisible area) it will still show since its in the hit area).How can I create a simple nav drop down? I seriously have went through almost all tutorials, both video and text, and nothing has worked! I am using Actionscript 3, or whatever the tutorial says to use.edit: Here is something I'm working on. Its a button, and on the rollover it creates the animation. Obviously it doesnt work, because you cant have a button inside a button, so I don't know the actionscript to do this.

Building a webpage entirely in Flash??I have to admit that I really like flash.I am using it for about 2 years, but I am still not sure if building a webpage entirely in flash would bee a good idea. In HTML I can't achieve the same look, and feel, on the other hand sacrificing the look for functionality is the last thing I would do.

I've taken 32 pictures of an item, on a rotating plate. Then, I removed the background and kept the file in PSD. I imported to library in Flash then created the "picture animation" that shows the item rotating. I want to add button to control the rotation and I wish to add some SPAY area on some of the pictures so, when a user is looking at the item, rotates it at will, some areas will highlight and will provide the user with links to more information.Should I use Firework to set the areas ?then establish their relation in Flashr should I add links and compositions directly in Flash and build everything from there ?

I'm having trouble with building iOS applications in flash. I just bought an iPad and want to start building apps for it. I hav done simple apps for iPhone before but nothing too fancy. The problem is, I can build it and compile it fine but when I try to install on my device it comes up with the error saying:
"ITunes: 'APPNAME' failed to install." I can compile it as an iPhone app and it works fine. I'm pretty sure I've got my provisioning right because I have both my iPhone and iPad devices added. Anyone got any ideas of why my apps only work while I compile them as iPhone apps?

I'm using CS5 flash professional to build a swf. I have it publishing to flash 8, actionscript 2. but it will only work with browsers that have 10.1+ plugins, no matter what I try. is there something really obvious that I'm missing? Edit: I'm using swfobject.embed. it looks like this: swfobject.embedSWF("/foo.swf", "myContent", "400", "300", "9.0.0", "/foo.swf", flashvars);

I've been tasked with building an interactive map of all the states in the US and just wondering what the best way is to go about this? I know I could build this fairly easily in Flash but one of the requirements is for it to work on an iPhone so obviously that rules Flash out!
Requirements:
Must work across all browsers and handheld devices.
Must be updatable via Wordpress.
Must include a small info box that pops up when each state is hovered.
The look of the map will be designed by us (we'd want complete control of this as we're graphic designers!) so this also rules out a custom Google map.
I've done a search on here and found two examples, the first is exactly the kind of thing we want but is done in flash - example I don't think I'll be able to create popup bubbles when hovering over each state. An example I like is - Transmit's feature section. How was this built and how could I recreate something like that?
