View 3 RepliesHow does Lee Brimelow create the screen shot based flash tutorials that are used on this site? I've tried to use Adobe Captivate for this - but because I want to use a custom flash player - I am having problems coverting the videos to FLV or MOV files. I'd like to deploy to .FLV files to the site.
View 1 RepliesGoing through the tutorial videos, sometimes I have to call a friend to find out what the word I can't grasp is. Example, on one of the tutorials, the lady says "in the authoring environment", but I could not hear the word "authoring" properly. My neighbor friend thought she was saying "operating environment". But after searching the help pages for "Flash environment", "authoring" came up and was able to finally guess the word I was not able to distinguish.
This happens to me frequently. My simple wish is for those videos to include caption text. they do it for most TV programs nowadays, why not tutorials. After all, tutorials are so much more important to be understood.

View 1 RepliesDo you know of any drop-down menu tutorials? It is realllly hard to find any information about how to make them! I have been searching for quite a while now without any luck. The only tutorial I could find on building slide/drop down menus was by Tudvid dot com and it was rather terrible. I even bought a adobe book on flash yesterday for $55 "Classroom In A Book" but this also had no information.
Have any of you experienced the same problem? Do you use AS to build menus?
However as a programmer it's kind of important that I learn the language. Now, I know about myself that I won't learn anything if I read guides or try to learn the functions. I need tutorials to learn, in my opinion the best way to learn is to actually make stuff.So I was wondering, can anyone point me to a few tutorials for beginners?
View 2 Repliesresources for building (or skinning) your own video player aren't nearly as easy to find as I thought they should be, and these tutorials are fantastic. The only things missing, that how to achieve, are (a) the video counting in 0:00 as it plays, and also being able to list the duration - so display something like: 0:00 / 5:47

View 1 RepliesI've been using this simple script from the kirupa tutorials section to preload my movies: [code]Is this the best code to use, because all I want is to show a small animation that loops to tell the viewer that the movie is loading. I only ask, because I have embedded some video in a few files but this script only works half it should do & then tries to load the video, but then stops about five frames after until it has 'properly' loaded. It is quite frustrating to say the least.Is this code actionscript 2 or 1? should it be exported with a specific Flash player? I think at the moment it's Flash Player 7. And in actionscript 2 I have the export frame for classes set as frame 2, is this correct?
View 1 RepliesI am curious on how I can add springs into a basic motion tween for something like menus.
I checked out Kirupa's small tutorial but that is a constant, not something like rollovers. The basic idea is much like lots of other sites, I just want to add a little less ridged feedback from my menus.
I have tried to combine two different drag and drop tutorials. The first one is the "Dragging and Dropping Using Drop Targets" from kirupa and the other is this one:[URL]..The "drag_replace" file replace an object and goes back to it's orginal position if another object is placed on it. So I tried to put this code on object called "one" after the "drag" code:

I downloaded and am using kirupa's flash gallery with xml. It works/looks great. but i'd like to have it behave a little differently. i've seen sites where the thumbnails continue to change their alpha indicating they are loaded and loading while i'm viewing an image. are there any tutorials/samples out there for that? i simply want to see how it would all work together. maybe having 10 thumbnails and an image using xml.

View 1 RepliesI am a member of a clan on a popular gaming website. I'd like to make fully interactive flash videos detailing certain game concepts. Is it possible to do this with screenshots (there are some drop down menus) or would I have to remodel the website in Flash?Basically, I'd like to know how to make it so I can tell the user to click a certain link and take a certain step, we've all seen those types of interactive tutorials.
View 0 RepliesI'm building my first Flash application. It's a stand alone barcode scanner - the scanner is built-in to the monitor. Basically it has a welcome screen with a video, and at any time you can either scan a product to get product info, or touch the screen for more options (more info, more videos, etc.), respectively.I'm looking for articles, tutorials, etc. that can give me best practices and tips for efficiently designing and organizing it. For example, what's the best way to switch between screens, keep track of which screen is showing, etc.
I've looked all over the web and can't find an article or tutorial on this, and while my app is working, the code is looking pretty spaghetti-ish and I really would like to learn the best way to plan and organize a project like this.
i've been reading a variety of tutorials on the subject of inheritance, and i felt ready to try creating a chain of a few classes.right now i have two similar classes, Avatar and Enemy, which extend movieclip. What i'm trying to do is move a lot of their common functionality into a parent class which i'm calling Actor. I want to make Actor extend MovieClip, then make Enemy and Avatar extend Actor instead of Movieclip.[code]
What it says is true. I have an object in my library which is a movieclip. It's Exported for Actionscript with it's class as Soldier, and a base class of Avatar. this is the continuation of the chain. However it doesn't seem to want to work.As far as i understand, the above setup is pretty much equivilant to making a .as file for Soldier that extends Avatar.
l. I was wondering how to implement a different version of the XML album in the tutorials. I want to make some sort of photoreel. The thing is that I don't know how to approach loading the pictures.Here's kind of what I'm trying to do.The big white rectangle is the stage and the small squares are the pictures. I intend to put two buttons on both sides that will scroll the reel. How do I load only the pictures shown on the stage? And of course, when you scroll through the images, how can the images know that they should be loading? I'd like to figure out the coding myself.
