ActionScript 3.0 :: Have Some Flash Banner SWF Files Play Within The Portfolio Page Of Site
Jan 30, 2009
I've been working on my first full blown flash site for a few weeks, tackling problems as I encounter them, and I've learned a lot...but sometimes the simplest things I cannot figure out for the life of me. All I am trying to do is have some flash banner SWF files play within the portfolio page of my site. I don't want them to open in a pop up or anything just play within the page when the link on my site is clicked. I figured it would act like a movie clip and I could just drop it onto the stage, but when I do that it doesn't look right, loops continuously, and is not interactive. How can I make this work?
I'm working on building a personal portfolio site right now. I wanted to add a scroll feature to one the pages. I wasn't sure how to build it, so I down loaded one off here [URL] and just plugged my own graphics into it. It scrolls up and down just fine, but when I try to put a mask over it, it doesn't work. In the content the author wrote for his movie he says "Note: If you want to have a mask over the content: copy MC:frame and make it a mask for MC:Page. If you do so, notice that "non-anti-alias text" is not possible anymore. This is a common thing in a Flash Movie. I keep trying that and it just blocks everything out all together. So what am I doing wrong?
I have recently created a flash site and I am trying to update my online portfolio. How do I take a snapshot of the homepage of the flash site for my portfolio?
i want to make a new portfolio site in flash... i was thinking on using as much server-side scripting as possible, to make in easier to update and add some features like flash guestbook/mail form and some other stuff... I was wondering... is it possible using php and mysql to add content to the portfolio without modifying the flash itself? Is there a tutorial regarding this? WHat i want, exactly is to be able to add photos, sites, prints and other stuff to my portfolio like i would add a post to this forum... the title being the title, the message being the description of the project and the pic i can attach being the photo itself..
Ok so I have bought books and watched hours of tutorials and its painfully obvious that I am not picking AS3 (or any scripting)up very well.
I am creating a Flash Portfolio site and I am curious about the correct architecture. If I have a central Nav with corresponding animations, should the whole site reside on one stage or a new stage per animation?
If there is a FAQ or tutorial on Kirupa that covers this (I might have missed it)feel free to simply direct me there.
i'm making my own portfolio full dynamic flash site. And animation and interface is ok. But i don't know about connecting to database. And i read about PHP+AS. And i couldn't get a good point.
i am making a flash portfolio and am working on the "work" page.i have a bunch of links.i would like each link to open up a seperate window containing a graphic that is already in the library.so basically, what is the script to link to a graphic already in the library and have it open in a seperate window.(i just said the same thing twice.....)and also, is there any way to customize these pop up windows?
I've got some flash-movies I've made that I want in my flash-portfolio.I've tried the load movie script, but then the flash-movie get's the same FPS as the portfolio.
I am building a banner ad and I am using Flash CS4. I need it so when someone clicks the banner it takes them to the page in a new window. Its just a a simple URL and I keep getting syntax errors now and I dont know how to do this properly. I have tried these methods.
I am trying to build a portfolio site with a 3D rotating effect.I am new to Papervision so I might be doing something stupid with my code. Anyway, this is my code, but nothing shows up on stage when I load it:
I have been working in Flash CS3 now for a couple of months and action scripts have been a challenge for me. I have created a site that has 4 areas that play a looping swf file of images. I can get this to work no problem with a behavior for rollover, but what I am looking to do is have the 4 swf files automatically play when the page loads.
The swf file I want to play is really simple, just images of banners.
We recently decided to add a flash banner to our site which calls an xml file which loads the price and name for 5 separate products and keeps looping through until a user clicks a product. Unfortunately, it appears each time the file loops it calls another iteration of the xml file -- so if a user opens our homepage and walks away the xml file could be called 100s of times. My question is, can we set up the actionscript so the xml file is called just once?
I made a flash banner to my friend so he could upload it on his site. [URL]. Image: The flash banner on top loads in Mac OS X in every browser I try. On Windows though it works only on Firefox & Internet Explorer Beta 9. I disabled the firewall to see if that work, but no result. There's an inconsistency issue. At my workplace it works as it should. It's also important to note that other .swf files on the net plays fine, so it's only this particular site.
I'm working on creating a gallery for my portfolio site. I have thumbnails of all my work. I've turned them into button and made it so when you rollover it, a larger preview of it appears with a description of the piece, off to the side in a designated area. Instead of making my stage larger or creating more pages to contain all my thumbnails, I made a vertical scrollbar. The scrollbar works just fine. The problem is when the thumbnail is moved, the rollover that would be moves in relation to it.how can I absolutely make sure that any rollover I create with a button is where I want it to be, no matter where the thumbnail moves to?
I am doing an overlay flash banner which sits on top of a flash site. Within the overlay banner I have a moveclip called 'imageHolder' which needs to call the same image thats in the flash site.
I have this code which allows me to directly control the movieclip in the flash site from within the flash banner. var img:MovieClip = takeoverContainer.getImage();
img._scaleX = 0.25; (for example) The problem here is I only want to copy the movieclip so I can see the same image in my banner as I do the Flash site, I do not want to manipulate the main flash site in anyway.
COuld anybody write me a piece of code that will duplicate/mirror the moveclip in the main flash site inside a movieclip within my flash banner so I can see the same image?
(From a creative perspective 'imageholder' is a smaller version of the image which is animated over the top of the main flash site) I am happy to pay for an hours work if somebody could help (via paypal if you like). I am in desperate need
I've been through Senoculars XML tutorial which can be found here and went further to read another thread (here ). about extending the Portfolio to allow for more thumbs--implementing a scrollbar-to Scotty This brings me to my questionQ: How can I do away with any scrolling and implement page numbers instead? So users could click the page numbers to go to the next lot of thumbnails in the section instead of scrolling up and down. The image below illustrates what im trying to achieve. As you can see I would like it to show current page, and overflow for page numbers that wont fit within the area dictated on the stage (rather like how threads work in this forum)
There was a post about a month ago about page numbering what i THINK was senocular's xml portfolio. with the recent loss of some posts, this was wiped out as well. does anyone have it archived anywhere or does anyone have the file that was being passed around in that post?
I purchased a flash website template and am in the process of editing my main.fla file. In order to get listed on an advertising website with a higher rating, I have to place a reciprocal link to them on my site. However, I cannot figure out how to place an html link/banner on my site for other businesses. If I paste the html code in a text box, all that shows up is the html code rather than the image and link it is meant to generate.
I am having a strange problem with frame labels.I am using external swf. files to load content for my portfolio.The Work section contains thumbnails and once you click them they fade in at a larger size using Frame labels with AS2.[code]If you open URL... and click the thumbnails you can see it works perfectly fine. However if you go to the work section from the index URL... it no longer works. I have been trying at this all day but it does not seem to work once i upload to server :/all files (FLA , SWF, HTML )
I am creating a site, and I have this navigation system inside the portfolio page. But it is not working. So it is like this it is built. Default.fla is loading portfolio.fla inside a movie clip loader. and the portfolio.fla has a navigation system for different portfolio pieces. I have set up the first one to work (dasa design). so, I need the outro to play of hm1.fla (first file loaded) and then play the intro of the Dasadesign file. I know this has something to do with the depth and so, but I have tried many ways but not succeeded. files are found here! [URL]
I am new to CS5 and i'm wondering how to make a flash banner play only once for the visitor. My home page has a search engine and every time the search the result will display with the banner playing again. this is the same for navigating through pages. I want the banner to stay on the last frame. its not looping, its just replaying everytime i navigate.
i created with a flash rotating banner. Banner works fine on all computers but won't play on iphone. I'm aware that there are limitations at this point with flash and iphones. How are webdesigners creating rotating banners and the like that play on iphones? Can this be done in flash cs3?
the flash4 published set of files, with a variety of skins tried, works well on the local drive, even when moved to a different folder structure. when index.html is opened on the remote web site, the browser (firefox3 and ie7) displays the player conrols and a rotating horizontal barber pole, green and black, but no flash video.some of the skins i've used are: SkinOverPlaySeekFullscreen.swf, nOverPlayStopSeekCaptionVol.swf and SkinUnderPlay.swf. all work locally but do not play the .flv file on the web site. no problem playing flv movies on the remote web site if the file set is created by dreamweaver.
