I am a complete and utter newbie when it comes to flash. I've bought Flash Professional CS5, and I am looking for a tutorial/help to create a rotating banner ad similar to the one on [url]...
Example: I've got four different pictures I want to rotate within let's say 3-4 seconds per picture. Each of the picture needs its own link, so people can click to get to the correct place. I want the pictures to "fade out to the left" when changing)
I'm trying to create a rotating banner with buttons and hyperlinks... I create previous/next buttons for the banners, but I want the "Previous" on the first banner to revert to the last banner... and the "Next" button on the last banner to revert to the first banner.
I uploaded the .FLA : [URL]
Flash noob here using cs3/as3. I'm trying to create a simple banner which fades between 2 images, looped. (This I can do!). What I'd like is to have each image link to a different url. I've tried changing the images to buttons with the following actionscript:
on (release) {
getURL('http://www.mysite.com', '_self');
}
but get the following error: Mouse events are permitted only for button instances even though they are buttons! I thought this would be really simple, but obviously not! Any ideas are gratefully received.
I have a banner that I'm creating, it has 5 images that rotate via motion tweening. I've created an invisibile button (and also attempted to create multiple buttons) so that when you click on a specific image it will bring you to that URL. So far I have only gotten it to work for the final URL. No matter which image I click on, it only brings up that last URL.
Here is my code:
btn1.addEventListener(MouseEvent.CLICK, buttonClickHandler1);
function buttonClickHandler1(event:MouseEvent):void {
navigateToURL(new URLRequest("http://www.google.com"));
}
[Code]....
I've got a simple rotating banner and would like to have an mp3 play if someone rolls over the banner and stop if they move their mouse away. I grabbed some code from this forum and placed it on my button instance but it's not working. Here are the working files: [URL]. I've "linked" the mp3 file and given it the ID of "makin" and posted the following actionscript on the button instance:
Actionscript Code:
// button actionson (rollOver){
// creates a new object from Sound classyourSound = new Sound();
// attach the 'idSound' named from libraryyourSound.attachSound("makin");
// start the sound attachedyourSound.start(0,1);}on (rollOut){yourSound.stop();}

I want to have a fade effect in between different images, but I don't know how to incorporate it. Could somebody modify this code or tell me how to modify this code so that it will fade in between images?
View 4 RepliesIt's been a long time since I've messed with actionscript, so I'm back to being a noob. I found a thread on this site that gave me some code that almost worked perfectly. The only problem is that it plays the first swf twice before moving on to the next swf. Once it moves on to the second swf... everything plays once then moves on to the next swf and loops continously - as it should. How can I get it to play correctly without the doubling of the first swf?
heres the code I used:
_root.onLoad = function() {
Count = 0;
swfs = new Array();
swfs = ["22.swf", "14.swf"];

I'm trying to make a rotating banner with buttons on it (check the uploaded FLA... I had to set the extension to *.zip to get it uploaded, so once you DL it, change it to .FLA). It sorta does what I want it to do right now, but my code is really... REALLY awful. The only thing I can say about my code is that the functionality is close to what I'm looking for. Basically, this is what I want it to do:
1) banner consists of 3 different banners that rotate out with an animation in a continuous loop.
2) little buttons in the lower right hand side will whisk you to the appropriate banner, but will NOT be clickable on its specific banner.
3) rolling over the main banner img or the button will also pause the movie
4) clicking on the main banner img will send you to a URL I have a very hard time finding a way to be able to call a function over and over again without remaking the function and renaming it. If you have some time, please take a look at the FLA and pass me some pointers. I am using Flash CS3 if that matters.

View 14 RepliesI have been playing around with some simple flash banners with 3 movieclip stages. One clip starts at the top and slides down to the stage and holds for 3 seconds and then slides off too the bottom. Then a clip slides in from the right and holds for 3 seconds and slides off to the left. Then finally a clip slides in from the right, holds for 3 seconds and then slides of too the left. Pretty basic stuff.I have been doing all this in keyframe with a little easing. But I would like to do this with actionscript(2, as this is to be published on various sites).I have been looking at the tween class for this without the need for frames,

View 5 RepliesI currently designed a website for my client in wordpress with rotating banner headers. The website theme is space and astronomy, hence my client wanted banners about space shuttles and galaxies etc. I have been able to do this .. but with one small hitch the banners are in the size of 50-70 KB each. You can check out the website at -[URL] What I wanted to know is
1. Is there a wordpress plugin which installs adobe flash on the website?
2. Will making the banners in flash reduce the load time?
3. Will using flash affect the user experience as I believe many mobile brosers and iPad's do not support flash?
On this site, the rotating flash banner at the top works fine in IE and Chrome, but when opened in Firefox, it doesn't load the picture or advance automatically. If you click on one of the other buttons to advance to another item, it works fine, but on page load, it will not work.
<script type="text/javascript">
AC_FL_RunContent(
'type', 'application/x-shockwave-flash',
'FlashVars', 'xmlUrl=/Images/SpecEx/banner.xml',

I tried to put the 'play', 'true' option, but that doesn't help.
I'm trying to build a banner that rotates (fade in, fade out) our clients logos on our company website. If you look at [URL] at the bottom of their site they have client logos fading in and out using some sort of Flash script. What needs to happen is anytime a logo is dragged into a folder on our website it will automatically go into the rotation of logos appearing on the website.

View 2 RepliesI have been trying to create a gif web banner using flash. Everything look great in flash, flash player and quicktime but when I export or publish as a gif my background image is grainy and pixelated. My document is saved as 500X90. My background image was saved out of photoshop as 72 dpi. 500X90. I tried saving the image as .tif, .png, .jpg, all with the same result.
I'm not sure if this is the problem or not as I'm a freshman user but I have the background image running on its own timeline that runs the length of the movie. Also the animated text/symbols created in flash look perfect when I save it as a gif the only thing effected is the background image. I'm stuck, I have looked all over the web for the answer. On a side note I'm using a Mac running os x 10.4.11

I want to create a series of rotating movies, ad style that are a bit of animation accompanied by music. All of the movies are loading into a dummy movie which works fine. My problem is this, I want to have it so that if the user turns the music off in any of the external movies that are feeding into level 0, that the music off/on setting will carry over to the movies which follow.
Now I'm assuming that this can be done w/ variables but I'm not quite sure of the syntax.

I need to create a Flash banner. Fairly straight-forward in terms of looks - a long list of services that scrolls from right to left and then loops continuously.
I'm using Flash MX 2004. So far I've created the text - it comes on from the right and leaves on the left. The problem I've got however is how to make this a continuous, seamless loop. When it goes off on the left I can't figure out how to make it come back on from the right.
