In a "container" movie I have an imported swf flipbook from indesign that needs some buttons to move through pages. I can control it with a simple nextFrame() and prevFrame() but this is done without the page curling/turning effect. Does anybody know which as3 command(s) or function(s) calls the turning effect like when clicked at corner of pages?

View 1 RepliesI've converted an InDesign file to XFL and opened in Flash in order to animate it. I can see that all of the pages have been converted to Movie Clip Symbols called Page 1 etc etc.
However other Movie Clip Symbols have also been generated called IsloatedGroup and NormalBlendMode which seem to contain some of the graphic elements from the original InDesign file. Can anyone tell me what these are and any othe useful info on these.
I can obviously work around not knowing but I would like to know exactly what they are.

I am creating a flipbook application for a magazine. I am using Flash CS4(AS3) to build a navigation interface which contains a UILoader that loads magazine pages in SWF format created by InDesign CS5.Initially I was loading one large SWF file for the magazine pages. Internal links on the table of contents worked great but the load time was ridiculous. Now I am loading individual SWF files for each spread (adjacent pages) and the load time is great, however the links on the table of contents no longer work, which I expected.
The links still appear to be on the page however they don't appear to do anything. I have managed to interrogate the display list objects within the SWF file and the links appear to be of SimpleButton type. Some are even recognized as having HTML significance, they are given an instance name of "Hlnk#" instead of just "Instance#".I think my problem is that I can't/don't know how to get to the event that is triggered by the link/SimpleButton object. If I could see what page it is referencing I could load it.
I have recently purchased Pageflip 3.6 (http://pageflip.hu/) for a project at work and what I am planning on doing is implementing a guest book which i have created in flash.The guest book I created consists of a file upload (for images) a comment entry and a signature section (where the user has a choice between a bunch of fonts and writes there name) which are located on the left page of the flip book and then on the right page it displays the post (using XML).
Now the guest book on its own works like a charm, but when it is called into Pageflip the buttons for the upload/submit stop working and nothing happens.The way Pageflip pulls in the swf/png/jpg to fill its content is through an XML file.Pageflip does have hot spots and controls to switch pages directly within the book but I have disabled them so that you can only switch pages through the control bar, as I thought the hot spots were conflicting with the input for the guest book but it didn't do anything it still will not allow me to use the controls for the guest book.
I know this might be kind of confusing I hope i described my problem clearly enough and any help or input at all would be fantastic. I'm fairly green with actionscript but i'm the only one at my agency that knows how to use it so its tough on me to do these advanced things without anyone to bounce ideas off of
I'm interested in coming up with a flipbook which turn to another page, with a "turn page" animation. Exacly like what they did for Fullerton, at this URL...I got a great reply from JCS (thanx again dude!), who passed me a fla where they came out with a flip book, but you'll have to manually drag the page frm one page to another. Technically this flip book is more superior, as the user can flip the book manually, and it looks very very cool, but the thing is, there doens't seem to be a way to flip all the way to the last page withouth going through all the pages in between, and that sucks, as imagine that the document has like 50 pages!. BTW, the file in JCS sent can be downloaded here.URL...So basically, I want to modify the script to enable the the page to turn automatically when clicked, instead of having to drag the page.
View 11 RepliesI am working on an 70 page e-magazine in Indesign and I exported it as a SWF file. The Indesign SWF is basically a 70 frame document.
I want to create a pre loader since the file is around 4MB. The problem is when I create a flash file to load the SWF into it automatically plays from frame 1 which causes the frames to just keep going. How to I create a file to with a pre loader load my Indesign SWF and stop at frame 1?
I created an interactive document in InDesign CS5 that I exported as a .swf and inserted it into a html based webpage.

I have exported a page from InDesign to FLA that contains an InDesign multi-state object (MSO) and when I bring it into Flash and export as a SWF, the MSP just cycles through all the contained images. There's an Adobe KB that states that this is a known issue and that ActionScript can be used to stop the MSO from cycling. Does anyone know the ActionScript used to stop this?
View 1 RepliesI've created a flipbook in Flash. It pretty much looks the way I want it to except for one thing. On the 3rd and 4th page I've created a spread where it has have a movieclip playing inside the pages. It plays fine but everytime you're about to flip to the next or previous page it keeps playing the animation inside the page. Obviously I only want it to play once. Even though I put a 'stop' function inside the movieclip it still loops the animation. It looks like I have to set a function at the top level so it disables the movieclip after the first page-flip. Is this possible? Or is there another way that I can make the animation stop looping when about to flip pages? I could only attach the actionscript in word doc as the fla and swf where too big to attach. If you're happy to look into it I can email it to you.
View 2 RepliesHas anyone tried to open a .fla file exported out of InDesign CS5 to change the Flash Player setting to 9, rather than 10, then resave (or publish) as a .swf file?
If so, how did you get it work work again? What did you do to maintain the programming?
When I publish the file as .swf out of Flash CS5, then upload it to a remote server or view it in a browser window, everything has gone wacky--text is larger in scale than in the original file and the animations (fade in and slide in) on the first page, which I can't get past, run in a continuous loop.
I'm creating a interactive cd in Flash.In my flash file is a movieclip that consists 103 frames. Every frame is a different page.I'm using Indesign to create this pages because its the best way to work with so many different pages.When I export the pages to .jpg everything looks and goes wel. Only the quality becomes very low when putting the swf to fullscreen.I've tried exporting it as .swf but is it wisely to put 103 .swf in a flash file? I'd like to keep the text vector and readable on every screen size.
View 1 RepliesI have a Flex panel, in InDesign, from which I drag an URL. If I drop this URL on a text editor or a web browser, it works. But when I try to drop it on my InDesign document, it's a little bit harder.I have implemented a subclass of CDragDropTargetFlavorHelper. The drop works perfectly on Windows. But on mac, I have problems in the method CouldAcceptTypes :
DragDrop::TargetResponse AutocatDNDCustomFlavorHelper::CouldAcceptTypes(const DragDropTarget* target, DataObjectIterator* dataIter, const IDragDropSource* fromSource, const IDragDropController* controller) const
{
if (0 != dataIter && 0 != target)
[code]....
The problem is the IMPDataObject I get is nil. There is no item in the controller. However, there were items in the CouldAcceptTypes method, in the DataObjectIterator. So, where are my items ?I tried using a custom CDataExchangeHandlerFor, but could not really understand what its usage was for. It didn't work anyway.
I am about to eat my keyboard. I created a flash file with some swf's (created in flash) wich are loaded with loadMovie("name.swf", 4); and fscommand to open on fullscreen. No problems everything works 100%! But! When I load swf's that are created with Indesign (the swf's work fine when I open them individually) It doesn't work! It seems it loads the swf every 2 seconds again or something. I sure hope there's anyone who's got a clue for me!

I got a button there, but the URL wont go, ie, the click does nothing.I imported a PSD layered image to Flash CS3, into a new blank layer. I need basically an area of this PSD to be "image mapped" so what I did was create a rectangle with the rect tool, over the area I needed the hot spot.Here I tried to do a transparent box and border (alpha 0) but the outline is still there even though the box is "empty." I did select the transparent box, no color, and tried alpha, both same result)I made that into a symbol, then I double clicked into there to fill in the key pts for the over, hit, etc., states.... I dont have any effects here btw, as simple as we can get.After that I right clicked on the buttonand entered the action script ("reserve" is the name of my button symbol)

I'm putting together a website in Flash CS4, and my Actionscript knowledge is pretty minimal. The site has a portfolio section with a scrollbar, which I modified from a downloadable example I found here: http:[url]...The prewritten code uses xml to import the thumbnails into the scrollbar- all of this is fine and working beautifully so far. What I'd like to do is to have each thumbnail act as a button, so that when clicked, you jump to another page/frame on the timeline. I see that it's very straightforward to either open a 'full' image or to go have the thumbnail take you to an html page, but is there a command that can go into the xml text that will simply take you to another spot on the timeline?
