I am hoping someone can lead me down the path to figure out this issue I am having. I am trying to create an app that shows images using the RSS feed supplied by the sets page. I am not going through flikr's API, i am simply using the url from the feed on the sets page.
so far, I have been able to ouput the xml from the rss feed as a whole it looks like this

View 3 RepliesI am trying to export a flash animation as a mov, so i can convert it for html5. When I export the movie, the animation has artifacts in it, strange things do not erase correctly, they do not show when i view it in Flash, or when I view the exported flv file.
So as you can see, there is a 1/2 drawn image. They round things are floating down, but for some reason, as they float down to stack, they leave behind some partial images.
I want to create a button that when clicked it shows a good looking box with a swf or an image inside. I've tried looking for a tutorial for something that resembles this, but couldn't. The closest thing I found were tooltips, but that's not what I need. The tooltip disappears and it's not meant for UI.

I have a movie clip which has two frames. On the first frame I have the front side and on the second I have the back. I am rotating the MovieClip by rotationX, rotationY, rotationZ properties.I want to display the frame 2 when the MovieClip rotates. Please help. I dont want to use PaperVision class. Also, please consider the Perspective View of the scene.Sometimes, the MovieClip might not only be dependent on rotation. It is also equally dependent on the position (only in Perspective View).
View 3 RepliesI'm trying to create a simple banner ad where the mouse hovers over the button and a panel shows up over some content of the site.[URL]I have two different .swfs: the container, which is the button and a loaded swf that has the animation that comes up when the button is clicked. The button is only 183 x 40px where as the loaded swf is 183 x 160px.When the loader swf is loaded, it takes the dimensions of the button.
Is there a way to have the loader swf be its original dimensions, so when the mouse hovers over the button, the loader swf covers some of the content on the Web site?Also, how can I change the MouseEvent to load the SWF when the mouse is only over the button and not clicking?
The simple code I have so far:
stop();
var myLoader:Loader = new Loader();
open_btn.addEventListener(MouseEvent.CLICK, loadBanner);
[code]....
the file loads correctly but the loading screen only flashes up at the end.The only thing being exported in frame 1 is the loader image, and that is extremely small.Is it possible that there's a queue of things being loaded and the loader image is at the bottom of that queue? Since that was one of the last things added to the project
View 1 RepliesI'm trying to create a flash program that uses it's own code to send and create images. Each square has a colour and that colour gets added into the array. A black, then grey, then white is:
filecode = ["Bl", "Gr", "Wh"];
That works fine, but when I try to paste it into an Input text box it will only fill in the first part of the array.
filecode = ["Bl,Gr,Wh"];
So the program has NO idea what I want.The only ways I can think of fixing this is by putting in 402 text boxes to suit every box...But every one of them needs a Variable Name.Or by sending the information straight into the array. But this way you are just looking at what you just drew, and that is not at ALL practical.
Is there a way to create a url link on an image loaded from an xml file. So for example in my photo gallery, I have my set of thumbnails which when clicked on would show the larger image. I'd like to click on the larger image and have another window popup and go to the proper url with an even larger image.[code]...

View 2 RepliesIm trying to create a drag and drop module which can be used to build an Image. EX: Using a triangle and rectangles to create a House.
I have created the drag and drop module but I cant make them fix with each other.
I'll explain the functionality a little bit, but forgive my English if any mistakes since it's not my native language. The user is given a set of shapes and a question like "CREATE A HOUSE" so he should be able to drag the shapes that is given and and build the house.
Im making an image gallery with XML and external images.What I would like to happen is Create a row of buttons for the categories. When a specific category button is clicked, a second row of buttons(lets call these the load image buttons) will be created. When you click a load image button, it will load an image into a "holder_mc" and load text into a textbox.So far I have only been able to create ONE row which contains all the images. I really need categories.[code]
View 2 RepliesIm trying to create a row of different images (which are also buttons that link to different 'scenes' within my flash package) at the top of my flash movie that expand scale on mouseover and then shrink back into size when mouse leave but i am finding it quite difficult as im really new to flash & actionscript.
I was going to use an array to put the buttons into, Will i need to make a variable for the scaleX, scaleY and the range in between?so far i only have this but im not having much luck:
ActionScript Code:
var buttonsArray:Array=[button1, button2];
button1.addEventListener(MouseEvent.MOUSE_OVER,onMouseover,false,0,true);
button2.addEventListener(MouseEvent.MOUSE_OVER,onMouseover,false,0,true);
[code]...
what i'm looking for is to create a gallery of images. there are 12 images in total with 3 showing. I want to add a forwards/next button that will cause the gallery of images to scroll across, with a smooth action, when the cursor hovers over the fowards button. I don't want the next images to show 1 by 1 but the gallery to gradually scroll arcoss(like all of the images are on one long reel being pulled from the left)
View 2 RepliesHow would I do a text movie like the one on this home page? http:[url]....I've tried before, but have had no success. I can create the swf file and fade images in and out. In the past I've put one line of text on one image, then another line of text on another image, but when I fade the images in they just cover up the prior one.

View 2 Replieshow can i give tweening between 2 images (Just like a Shape tweeening )
ie: in 1st frame 1 draw a rectangle shape and 25th frame i draw a circle shape that the time i give a shape tweening means it comes correctly (the shape converts to another shape)
but the same concept i gave it for image means it is not comming properly ,
So I have a function to create images dynamically in as2, telling some parameters, the problem I am facing is that I need to add this function to a file that has as3, so is incompatible, can anyone please help me translate it to as3?
function goGetUrl(dir:String){
getURL(dir, "_blank");
}
[code]....
For example the getURL(dir, "_blank"); does not work, I think I can change it by:
navigateToURL(new URLRequest (dir));
also I know that getNextHighestDepth() is not available in as3

Is it possible to create a swipe dissolve between two images? I'm looking to do a basic swipe for the most part but without have a hard edge. I tried playing with a blurred mask, but that isn't quite what I'm looking for, since it seems to only be able to work with a colored edge and not fade into the other pic.
View 2 RepliesI've been at this for a couple of hours chopping and changing all sorts of things so now im going back to basics and starting from scratch[code]...
all i am planning on doing is having an automated holder looping through 5 images, not even bothered about fading or anything for now, just need a dead simple loader to actually get me going again to give me something to build on
Previously I've done all the monkeywork by hand on the timeline, but now I need to make an automated slideshow for an image portfolio that collects pictures from an external folder (1.jpg, 2.jpg, 3.jpg, etc...) so I can just upload variants of the image without having to change the flash file each time.
I'm also hoping to include fading transitions and an easy way to change the amount of time each image is on screen.

View 7 RepliesI am trying to improve the quality of the slideshow displayed on this website[url]... My knowledge of flash is pretty limited. I know how to create the slideshow, I'm just not sure how to maximize the quality and keep the file small. The original was created as a .wmv and then converted to .flv. I have heard that creating the slideshow in flash using vector images is the way to get the best quality. So, my questions are:
1. How do I convert a jpeg to a vector image? Can I do this in photoshop?
2. How do I convert the .swf file to .flv without losing quality?
