I have created a flash slideshow, where the slide will enter the stage from the left via a motion tween. Once the tween finishes and the symbol is in place, I want the slide to be clickable. I created an invisible button to go over each slide, and put these buttons on their own layer.Then I created an actions layer and put in this code:[code]It worked fine on the first button, but when I attempted to add a second button (only changed the parts in red to reflect different instance and link), it told me it was an error due to a duplicate code.
now a customer wants me to make a Flash intro in her (ASP MVC) site. The scenario is this: images are stored in the dbms. Every image belongs to a category. Depending on what category is selected, the corresponding images should be fetched and played in a flash player with "transition" effects (hope i used the correct words).How can a slideshow (swf) be created dynamically?
1) Is it better to pre=render things say in photoshop or have flash render them?
2) if I have a field of stars that drift along; is it better to create that Star Field in photoshop as a single picture (say a .png) or to create a star in my library and add it to a movie clip and then have that drift along?
Lets say I have a blur effect on my stars and have an equivalent on the photoshop.
3) I have heard (and experienced) adding effects like blur takes a fair amount of CPU and memory so was wondering if I created the effect in photoshop and then imported the 'blurred' object into my flash if I could cut down on system resources?
I have created a pie preloader(preloader.zip) which is working fine. Same preloader I am trying to incorporate in a xml based slideshow(slideshow.zip) to show image loading process but some how I got stuck. I am new to flash. Suggestions are welcome.
1. How to solve the problem of preloader2. Is it possible to integrate everything in a movie clip (including AS). I mean no AS on main time line but inside the movie clip. It would be much easier then to to create multiple slideshows by duplicating mc and changing the xml file.
i have a question about text in a slideshow. i know how to make a basic photo slideshow with external images. but now what i want to do is add 4-5 paragraphs of text next to each photo (with possible scrolling). the text will be different on each photo.
When an instance variable is constructed by a constructor method, why do you need to refer to the current instance variable being created when its the only one being created? I understand assigning an expression to it but why name it "this." when it is the only object that the constructor is building? Does it have some hing to do with being able to naming that object in the Local Variable? In other words am I creating a generic object that will be named in another class?
I'm working through Dreamweaver fairly well, and I'm now wanted to import Flash buttons I've created myself into Dreamweaver for a website I'm currently building, and it's here that I'm finding the problem. I have been to the 'get URL Function', but it says something about needing to link to a web page? But my problem is how can I link Flash Buttons to a web page, when my site is still being developed and not published? Do I have to publish first?
So I have made a basic slideshow on flash for a website. Nice but simple, 3 images fading in and out. But I want to make a slideshow that moves either vertically or horizontally, but most likely at an angle. I also want some text to either fade in or move as well. So I have a few questions.1) What is the best way to get th pictures to move at an angle? I have read some xml options for editing in dreamweaver, can't seem to find one for moving the picture.I would imagine you have to edit it in flash? Yes I'm new to flash!2) I take it you edit the text in flash, could it be dynamic text and what is the best way to move it?
I have created a slideshow based on the template for slideshow provided by Flash and some other blogs posts i have found.I have a layer with a picture on consecutive frames.I have another later that has just my text to display always.I have created another layer called Buttons and in the first keyframe i typed stop(); And added buttons by draging and dropping <back button and > foward button. I used script: for the back button [code] I have gotten them to work if you hit the button, it changes to the next picture.I want the pictures to continously play and i want to add a Pause/Play button .If you hit the pause it will stop and then you can resume the slideshow by hitting the button again which will be a Play button. I cannot #1 get the show to just move on its own (i guess i have to add additional frames to each photo?)
The slideshow template that comes with Flash 8 is okay but I would like some more. I have google on the internet but it is all spam sites and people wanting to sell me programs to make slideshows.
I am referring to the following slideshow tutorial at [URL]
Just curious to know if there is a way to play vertical and horizontal images in that slideshow, that would tweak the size of each image automatically.
I've implemented the xml flash slideshow on my site. In the <caption> you can add a description for the photo and it populates in the movie, but I would like to know if anyone knows how to add a link in that section?How can I hyperlink text within that section?
i am relatively new to flash and actionscript 3 but i have been recently making a website and i have got to a stage where one page is pulling in SWF's via an XML document. There are left and right arrows which load up the next/previous SWF. The right arrow works fine, it loads the next one up and then due to some AS3 code when it gets to the end it loops back around. The left arrow goes back a frame until it comes to the beginning and it wont loop to the end. Below is a copy of the code that i am using. I am aware that i need to create the event listener for the arrow and i am fine with that, its just the function to go with it that i am struggling with.
I found this program called Flash Slideshow maker professional and it is very easy to put together etc. I try to add it into dreamweaver but when I try to select the Go Live button in dreamweaver its blank instead of my flash slideshow.
I'm making a picture-slideshow with xml and Flash AS2. The thing is, i really want a play and pause button in it, and iv tried to do that with setInterval.[code]Now, the weird thing is, the trace does work, and gives me the good output: 10, 11, 12, 13 etc. etc. but the external images dont go further... (i do have the first image, but it doesnt go to the next images)When i remove the var Interval, so that it doesnt repeat, it does work I also attached the .fla file.
I am doing a slideshow in Flash. With AS 2, I would create frame labels for each slide with a stop action on each one in the timeline and a button underneath the background with the following script:
on (keyPress "<Right>") { gotoAndPlay("2"); }
The keyboard right arrow (and left arrow) would move the slideshow forward and backward. I had another button for backward.I'm doing one in AS 3 now (dictated to me) and this script isn't working.
I am trying to create a "slideshow" in flash CS4 and I have set it to fade out one image is it fades in another (using alpha) for about 10 - 15 images.However, I want to add a "border" to my slideshow, that stays there throughout the entire process without it fading in and out along with the pictures.
I'm new to Flash and I need to learn how to do a slideshow with exactly the same features as can be found in this link: [URL]. Just like at the link above, it needs to play through the slides automatically once the page is loaded, each slide needs to link to a specific URL, and I need controls similar to the boxes at the bottom so the viewer can click on any specific slide they wish to view (I'd like to have numbers in the boxes though). The transitions don't have to slide across like this. If a fade is easier, that would be fine.
Actually, I thought I'd be able to do this fairly easily with Flash Catalyst, so I updated to Adobe CS5 Design Premium. I found that Flash Catalyst can be used to create a slide show like this, but unfortunately it won't play automatically when the page loads and the viewer has to manually click through the slides, which is not what I need. I could be wrong, but from what I've read, I need Flash Builder to add code so the slide show will play automatically if I create it in Flash Catalyst.
I have this flash slideshow on my that was created using a 3rd party software. I'm trying to find out does anyone know of 3rd flash creator that creates a slideshow such as this one.I'm referring to the flash that's located in the bottom of the screen
I installed Slideshow pro, with swfobject here: [URL] The flash loads but the images do not. I have double checked the image paths to death and they appear to be correct. Here is the html:
I've made a slideshow in flash, it was able to be previewed before i chose to debug movie. that was when an error appeared, regarding the class of MouseEvent...
The error states "The class or interface 'MouseEvent' could not be loaded". Gathered from what i have read, am i correct in my assumption that i need to import this MouseEvent?
To get an exact look at what i have, the following is my complete code as it is;
I am using SlideShow Pro (a flash slideshow/media player) on a site. I want to receive notifications (in JavaScript) from the flash player when a video is finished playing so I can load another video via Ajax.There is an onVideoEnd() ActionScript call in the API:
[Code]...
How do I receive notifications or execute this in JavaScript? Slideshow Pro comes with many examples of how to send messages TO SlideShow Pro, but none on how to receive notifications via JavaScript. The docs say that the entire API is available via JavaScript
I am trying to take a Flickr collection (from the website) and integrate it into flash. I suspect something to do with the rss feed. My goal is to take the flash and put it into Screentime so that when the screensaver is running it will basically be an up-to-date slideshow of my flickr images.
i just followed the tut fmx2004 about the slideshow, it is very good! i just have one question : i would like the slideshow to be started by a click on a button (not run when loaded), and then run infinitly, how do I do that?
I want to be able to use the slideshow function when called from a button. I take it that this would be a simple case of calling the function onRelease or something similar... Also on a slightly different though smei related point, I am setting up a gallery using the XML gallery though am going to be using multiple gallery options so that once a user has chosen a gallery set it will load the appropriate XML file...
I am putting together a flash based slideshow and need to put the images on the timeline instead of XML storage for various reasons. Can I use AS to control the slide time and transition affects or is it best to do all that with the timeline also?
I am trying to create a Flash (CS4) website that uses buttons - when clicking on a button, a sound is played. I am trying to get the button to change color after it's hit. The button symbol was made from a dynamic text object. I've tried "b1.textColor = 'FFFFFF'". I get error 1119, "Access of possibly undefined property textColor through a reference with static type flash.display.SimpleButton".
I have been learning flash and Actionscript 3 for the past couple of weeks and i have progressed nicely with making a site. I have some images being loaded into a MovieClip which are dynamically loaded from on XML. I can set it up so clicking left/right arrows navigates through the pictures and loops or i can set it so it automatically plays without user intervention.
What i would like to do though is have the images loaded into the MC via XML but have it so that when the Actionscript analyses the XML code it creates a small circle on the stage for each image (child) and then each circle is clickable to that particular image. I know this sounds confusing so i am i just seeing if it's possible and if so how. I can easily create frames and links for the circles but i would rather it be done through AS3 if possible so that it is easily updatable.
