Building Digital Magazines Using InDesignCS4 To FlashCS4?
May 21, 2009
I am a designer using InDesignCS4 to export a 16 page document as a SWF file with a page curl page transition. I am also exporting a static footer bar that holds a client logo and website address that acts as a hyperlink to the client's website. I currently place these 2 SWF files in Dreamweaver, 16pager above the footer, 1 above the other, and save as .html, upload to an ftp site to get the whole thing to work as a FlippingBook page curl Digital Magazine with static footer bar and hyperlink that directs to the clients website to download the corresponding PDF and print.
I am no Flash developer, but what I would LIKE to do is export from InDesignCS4 as an Adobe Flash CS4 Pro (XFL) document, open up in Flash where I know each spread imports as its own frame, save as a new .fla file, create some great Text effects with actionscript, which I CAN do. But what I can't do is export this as a SWF file AND retain the page curl transition it would have had as a SWF from InDesign??? Is there a way, despite handing over to 'my' Flash developer to encode (according to every video tutorial I have seen on the subject!), where I can 'stitch these page frames together to export my frames from flash with page curl, have the footer bar independently at the bottom, have the whole thing scale as one flash animation but also include some features such as print, zoom and 'goto' page field? At the moment all this appears to be alot of coding work.
I subscribe to a bunch of magazines in digital format. They attempt to replicate a print mag onscreen, but I find their "specail features" annoying, so I like to download a PDF for offline viewing. For the last month or two, every time I try to print to a PDF from one of these digital magazines, I get a gray screen saying Flash has crashed. If I try to download the PDF, a new tab opens in my browser but the PDF doesn't load, the screen remains black. Reloading the page, closing and restarting the browser doesn't help.

I have created a DIGITAL MAP but i have a problem. It goes like this, whenever you click the buildings in the MAP it will automatically "ZOOMS IN", it "ZOOMS IN" in that specific building that you have clicked.
I have a task to built a simple Digital signage system which will display different kind of information on LCD panels. I am not sure if Adobe AIR with HTML / Javascript would be a good choice for the desktop part of this application, which will be responsible for displaying the content. The logics could be easily solved and coded in Javascript and the app should run for a long time.
for a game I'm working on, I want to make a 'digital display', like a digital clock for example. Every character exists of 7 lines which are either on or off. This picture will demonstrate what I mean.
Currently, I've got a DigitalDisplay class that extends Sprite, which holds a couple of instances of the Digit class that extends Sprite, which in turn holds 7 instances of the DigitLine class, which extends Shape, in which I draw one such line with the drawing API. This would mean that one DigitalDisplay holds 8 Sprite, which all hold 7 Shapes, so that's 8 Sprites and 56 Shapes. This is a bit overkill I think.
Thing is, I want control over every 'DigitLine'. During transition, when the text on the display changes, I want every lines to go on and off in a random pattern, slowly forming the new text. Would this be possible with another less extensive solution? The only thing I could think of was this:
Instead of every Digit object I'd have an Array, which instead of filled with DigitLine objects is filled with Arrays. However, then I'd only have 1 graphics object, which mean I'd need to clear() it every time something changes.
I need to convert a PDF to like a flash magazines? Is there any applications that allows you to convert these and export them into standalone flash magazines?
Strange problem with Flash in CS4 designer suite. F12 in flashCS4 publishes ok but suddenly doesn't open IE8 in flashCS4. Worked fine untill now. In dreamweaver CS4 the F12 opens IE8 without any problem. Must be a file or registrykey corrupted but where to look. Allready tried CCleaner, RegFix an a new installation of Flash. Nothing worked. Use Vista + IE8
1- I imported an flv video file with "file->import->import video" and then put the object on the stage on a precise frame ( 71 and 79 ). Around the object player I created a transparent button as wide as the stage (67-82) which clicked brings you to another frame(2).The problem is that this work is a site and if you click on the transparent button you see a frame with contents but the movieclip playing is still on and user still ear the music and experience the bandwidth slow down. What I want to do is something like: movieclipinstancename.stop(); to stop the movie playing.
2- I'm triyng to understand the best way to import or use a movieclip, using AS3.
XML text to be used as a link within my flash site.What I mean by this is I have a XML file with a list of shows and at the end of each title and short description and I would like to have a link to the show's dedicated page.I know how to do a URL link but a gotoAndPlay / Stop link doesn't seem to work the same way.. Here is an example of what I mean:
Show Name 1: Short description link to dedicated 'page'[code]....
I am trying to use rhamejs slideshow (located here) and I would like to move the scroller to a certain position on the stage but I'm not sure how to do it. My stage is 900px wide with a nav bar along the bottom. All I want to do is move the scroller to the right of my nav buttons and left of another button that is in the far right corner. I would like to stay within that space which expands depending on your browser/screen size. The main stage is set up to resize based on browser/screen size and all the nav buttons are anchored. I basically need the left edge of the scroller to be 535px from the left edge of the stage at all timesI need the right edge of the scroller to be 185px from the right edge of the stage at all times. I have tried editing these lines but after the width of your window gets to a certain point, the thumbs stop scrolling or disapear completely:
I've done two Flash animations, and both, when I use the Simulate Download function, show what appears to be a digital artifact in the upper left hand corner. It looks like a series of small squares or rectangles briefly fluttering from left to right.As far as I can tell, this doesn't show up in the actual .swf. Has anyone else seen this? Is it a sign that I've done something wrong, or should I just ignore it?
Does the digital publication (emag) created using Indesign and flash require any action script knowledge in order to produce the search, zoom and table of contents features seen in most online digital magazine? Or is there a basic "template" that is produced in which you can modify?
I'm going to design an electronic card later in Flash (CS3 & CS 4) and I wonder if anyone has a link to any decent tutorials (or tips 'n' tricks)? I'm particularly keen to creat a rolling snowfall.
Also, I've going to create a digital display for a stand at a tradeshow. Is Flash the best medium for this (or would it be better in something like Premiere)?
I want to make a digital framing application like at this website:URL...Im not sure if i would be able to make this with an adobe program or if its something i would have to download off the internet.
I have a NetStream set up and it's supposed to listen for DRMAuthenticateEvent.DRM_Authenticate. When I give it an encrypted file (encrypted using software from drm-x.com), no DRMAuthenticateEvenet seems to be dispatched. The code looks like this:
[Code]...
I have both proxy and drm authentication types in there because drm was not working for me so I decided to try proxy. Am I doing something wrong? I got this stuff off of the Adobe reference pages, is there an easier/smarter way of going about DRM in Flex?
I'm currently writing an image editing application using Flex and I'm trying to make a blemish removal functionality like in picnik.com. I have searched everywhere but couldn't find anything. I have tried to just blur away the blemishes, but the results are bad.
I would like to create a digital time which only show min and sec. This time is use in a game in order to test the users speed and accuracy. When the user finished the game, the time will stop and then have to check the time user has spent to finish the game. So, if the user manage to finish the game before 10 min, will get 100 points. If is between 10 and 15 min, will get 90 points and so on.
I am just wondering that what are the core reasons behind using Flash Media server for implementing IPTV, wheras we have some efficient devices such as following digital tuner boxes http:[url]....We can get the MPEG-TS stream and send it to this box and it can play the TV for us. Is it not simple? I think that I misunderstanding some thing, why people use FMS for IPTV implementation.
I am working on HD video recording project and I just want to use Canon T3 digital camera in my project and i am not able to access other camera but not Canon T3 so,
I have a digital clock out on my personal server, and when I navigate to it, it works perfectly. However, if left open for a little while, it starts to slow down the browser and other various applications that may be open.
Here's ActionScript Code: var mydate = new Date(); var seconds = mydate.getSeconds(); var minutes = mydate.getMinutes(); var hours = mydate.getHours(); var day = mydate.getDay(); [Code] .....
Would I need to clear my interval every once and a while?
I'm having a lot of trouble getting my AS3 code to work. I have made a digital clock that grabs the system's time and I want to be able to control the speed of the time by using a slider and a button to reset the time back to the system's clock. Any idea how I go about doing this? I figure I need to grab the system's time and then stop it and create my own clock by increasing the seconds by 1.

I tried the digital clock tutorial on Kirupa, but it doesn't display the correct time, For example if my cpu clock says 3:00 PM, Saturday, November 13, 2004 the tutorial clock says 15:00 AM, Saturday, December 13, 2004.
I am currently using Digital Rapids StreamZ to encode video for Flash media Server. The guys who look after the equipment have streamed to flash media server before using RTMP addresses without any problems but ustream doesn't seem to work.
Would there be any reason why the encoded signal would not get through or display on ustream? The StreamZ software is not showing any problems or error messages so we are assuming the encoded feed is being sent correctly but Ustream doesn't detect that there is a flash media stream available for that channel.
I'm trying to turn a 100question paper exam into a digital version, but I keep getting problems.The names are in dutch, my appologies, but I'll explain a few;
eind = end vraag = question Fout = false Goed = true
I'm trying to get the score to be calculated per page. Being P1, and at the end to calculate all pages into one 'eind_score'. I'm just a student in this but not even our supposed 'expert' doesnt know.
