Lets say I have three different banners: A, B and C I have a main site in flash. Here I want to show a different startpage depending on which banner you have clicked.
So if I click banner A I want to got to startpage A If I click banner B I want to got to startpage B.Is this possible to do with actionscript or is this javascript related or perhaps php/serverside.
I have seen this done before but cant find any tuts on how to do it. Or even any knowledge on how to program it. What I want to do is use streaming video ini 3 flash banners that are linked together as the background of a site. Also I would like to take the standard banner size 728x69, 250x300 and 160x200 and have the animation run between them all.
View 1 RepliesI have been trying to synch two different banners on a HTML page.
I have checked this link :: [URL]
But I am not sure if the localconnection is needed for what I am trying to achieve.
I have 3 banners on a website.Each of them rotate to different "ads" with different urls.When they are viewed at the direct url file location everything works perfect.They click to the correct place.However when they are viewed together on the main site they will not click through.
View 7 RepliesI was wondering of any methods to sync two flash banners? What I mean is that when the page loads neither banner starts until both are ready? I will have two flash banners like this: |Banner 1| (something else between them, html css) |Banner 2| Both banners will contain video, that needs to be played in sync. Any ideas? I would prefer AS2, because the site I will run these two banners on prefers AS2. I read something about LocalConnection in AS3, anything similiar in AS2? And does it work on all OS / browsers? Can it be done with Javascript?

View 1 RepliesI have two Flash banner ads, built in CS5.5, using AS2, that will be placed on a page together and appear to interact with each other when played at the same time. Similar to this: [URL]..
The problem is that they might not load at the same time. How can I get each banner to check that the other has finished loading before playing?
I had read that LocalConnection was the way to do this, but I haven't been able to find anything that explains it well.
I'm trying to do a expandable ad banner. For example, a banner that comes from 200x200 for 400x200 with right alignment.
View 3 RepliesI am new to actionscript but use Flash to produce banner advertising. I have to produce 2 banner ads for the same page. Its quite simple there is a bouncing ball that bounces from one banner to another. I need a simple script so one one .swf finishes another will start. Obviously I need onload an stop so they work correctly in sync with page loads.

View 1 RepliesI have a project on which is going to involve me building thousands of flash banners.Which means I want to automate the process as much as possible. Each flash ad, is going to be exactly the same, apart from one word. So, what I want to do is the following:
- list 1,000 different words in my database
- Have flash pull one word from the database (php)
- Change the default text in the fla to the new word.
- then publish the swf, but naming the swf the word from the batabase.
- then repeat the process for the 2nd word in the list.
I am a very basic user on adobe flash, basically all I use Flash for at this moment is to create animated gif or basic SWF website banners. The problem that I am encountering at this moment is that when I export to an animated GIF the image quality becomes pixelated (see sample image below), where if i export the same work to an SWF it appears normal, I have tried several different combinations on the settings when saving the GIF but everytime I get the same results.
I would only use SWF formats but our website does not support SWF in every section.
how to create an expandable or floating banner.I know you can use things like www.eyeblaster.com, www.pointroll.com, www.dartmotif.com but I want to be able to do this on my own.I'm pretty sure it's just a transparent swf overlaying html content. But is there something with DIV layers I need to know? Is there any specific actionscript I need to put in? I'm working for a pretty big client that wants to advertise on some pretty small websites,

i need to make several banners for individual pages of a web site. The banners will each contain different images that i want to have fade in the same way. Also, over the images will be the title of the page. I would like to load the images and text by xml.I was using the uiloader (loading images from a url) but could not figure out how use the xml file as source.Also, for the animation,is there anyway to apply a transition to the uiloader? Is the uiloader even the best way to load xml?
View 1 RepliesHI've created a loader/container that houses 5 banner SWFs. The first banner loads as a default and using preview thumbnails which appear after hoving over the lower section of the container, you can jump to the banner of your choosing. ie. after banner 1 loads you hover over the bottom of the container, 5 previews appear, you click on let's say the second preview and the container unloads banner 1 and then loads banner 2 etc. See link below for the banner I created.The container is empty and loads the banner SWFs from an external server to save file size.My issue is I would like, for the banners to automatically loop 1-5 until you choose a preview which pauses the looping. To see the rest of the banners you would either continue clicking on the previews or press play.
Code attached for the container FLA file.

I am trying to create a movie clip that loops and on each loop it loads a random little .jpg banner from a directory. The banners are named 0.jpg, 1.jpg and so on, a script on the first frame of the loop saying
Code:
_root.randomnumber = random(_root.bannernumber);
_root.bannerloop.bannerholder.loadMovie("[URL]");
"Bannernumber" is a variable from an external text file specifying how many random numbers to cycle through (how many banners). This works just fine and loads up a new banner after each loop cycle. The problem lies in trying to make each banner go to its own url, I have another external text document with variables
"click0=url, click1=url etc"
Where I want the number in each variable to equal the random number variable in flash, then use an
on(release){getURL(urlvariable)}
Function to have it retrieve the url that is somehow in the url variable. Basically, how would I make the urlvariable be equal to the "click0" variable to get the url of the click0 variable into the getURL function? While having the number in the "click0" variable be equal to the random num variable? If I'm going about the random banner thing completely wrong.

I followed some tutorials out there on how to use xml and flash together and came up with this for my flash code:
// set random # variables - each must be 0 for first 'while' loop belowvar randomNum = 0;var randomNumLast = 0;
// parent containervar container_mc = this.createEmptyMovieClip("container",0);// movie clip

I have 2 flash banners (using ActionScript 2) on my web page, how can I make them start playing at the same time, after the page has fully loaded? Both .SWF files are embedded in HTML using the script provided by Adobe on object export. I created both in Flash CS4, but I have very little knowledge of flash. I read about "LocalConnection", but I have no idea how to implement it in flash.
View 2 RepliesFor a current project I need to create 25 versions of 5 different banner sizes. By version, I mean having slightly different content, namely: a different image and different text somewhere in the banner.
Let's, for this question, suppose I'll make sure somehow that said images and texts will all fit fine in the design for that particular size, so that I could create some sort of template per size, with some sort of placeholders for them. What is an efficient method, if any, to automate the rendering of these differing versions per size? Is it possible?

I made web banners with the intent that the shell being the initial swf, could pull an external swf file from a remote site. View here: [URL]. The main .swf file has to be under 30k, which it is. now the other .swf files load when you rollover the buttons. this method fulfills the 30k requirement on the advertisers side - also allows the creative to have higher res images/swf files hosted on our site/side. In testing it locally, it all works great. But when I moved the .swf file to [URL] to test it - the files hang up when you mouse over the buttons - is there a chance you could check out my source? Here: [URL]. I checked out the security settings.
security.allowDomain,
not sure if I'm using it correctly?
sometimes, the spec sheet from the media company won't state actionscript version. so I guess it should be save to use as2 rather than as3. but is that actually actionscript version will affect the flash player.
View 2 RepliesI've been doing a number of pretty basic flash banner ads at the typical advertising size (728x90, 300x250, etc.) but the client wants to throw in some video for this upcoming batch. I've already been given the .flv movie file. It's about a minute long at 3 mb, but I'm only going to use about 4 seconds of it. My question is what is the routine/typical route to take when adding video to banners but also keeping under the file size limitations (around 37k)? I did some brief research and read about progressive downloading but wasn't sure what the typical direction was when delivering files like this to the vendors.
View 2 RepliesI�m mostly a beginner with flash actionscript. A site we advertise on asks me to embed a clicktag script to help them track the stats for each banner. I�ve read the directions on macromedia/adobe, I�m still a little confused. I have to make the whole banner clickable, so can I just create a movie clip on the top layer, make the alpha 0% and add this script to it to do so?:
on (release) {
getURL (clickTAG, "_blank");
}
I�m looking for more thoruough step by step instructions to ensure that whatever I hand over to them will work.
