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?
View 1 Repliesfor 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.
My fla-file (27mB) is graphic resources to a project, split into pieces is very problematic.Publication time on my computer is 4 minutes. I tried setting "preferance / publish cache" - not result.
View 16 RepliesI've converted an InDesign file to XFL and opened in Flash in order to animate it. I can see that all of the pages have been converted to Movie Clip Symbols called Page 1 etc etc.
However other Movie Clip Symbols have also been generated called IsloatedGroup and NormalBlendMode which seem to contain some of the graphic elements from the original InDesign file. Can anyone tell me what these are and any othe useful info on these.
I can obviously work around not knowing but I would like to know exactly what they are.

I am trying to place a video into InDesign with a flash player skin. I can't figure out how to export a document out of flash with the player as a .FLV. Since a .FLV is the only document that InDesign accepts, I am kind of stuck. I am using all Cs5 programs.

I'm creating a interactive cd in Flash.In my flash file is a movieclip that consists 103 frames. Every frame is a different page.I'm using Indesign to create this pages because its the best way to work with so many different pages.When I export the pages to .jpg everything looks and goes wel. Only the quality becomes very low when putting the swf to fullscreen.I've tried exporting it as .swf but is it wisely to put 103 .swf in a flash file? I'd like to keep the text vector and readable on every screen size.

View 1 RepliesI 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.

View 2 Repliesim trying to make a simple animated news page for digital flash magazine, I want there to be several boxes on the page that are static until you mouse over them at which point they will start to animate. I have got that far i have created the symbol and i have build the animation inside of the symbol.In my actions layer i have put...
Symbol.stop();
Symbol.addEventListener(MouseEvent.ROLL_OVER, animateMC);
function animateMC(evt:MouseEvent):void{
Symbol.play();
}
and that works the symbol is static until i mouse over and it begins to play the part im having an issue with it making the animation stop when you move your mouse away (MOUSE_OUT)
I am working on an 70 page e-magazine in Indesign and I exported it as a SWF file. The Indesign SWF is basically a 70 frame document.
I want to create a pre loader since the file is around 4MB. The problem is when I create a flash file to load the SWF into it automatically plays from frame 1 which causes the frames to just keep going. How to I create a file to with a pre loader load my Indesign SWF and stop at frame 1?
I created an interactive document in InDesign CS5 that I exported as a .swf and inserted it into a html based webpage. I would like the buttons I created with url actions to open the url in the same broswer window and not in a new broswer window. Is this possible in ID CS5 and if not how can I get it done. I have enough knowledge in flash to be dangerous.
View 1 RepliesI have exported a page from InDesign to FLA that contains an InDesign multi-state object (MSO) and when I bring it into Flash and export as a SWF, the MSP just cycles through all the contained images. There's an Adobe KB that states that this is a known issue and that ActionScript can be used to stop the MSO from cycling. Does anyone know the ActionScript used to stop this?
View 1 RepliesHas anyone tried to open a .fla file exported out of InDesign CS5 to change the Flash Player setting to 9, rather than 10, then resave (or publish) as a .swf file?
If so, how did you get it work work again? What did you do to maintain the programming?
When I publish the file as .swf out of Flash CS5, then upload it to a remote server or view it in a browser window, everything has gone wacky--text is larger in scale than in the original file and the animations (fade in and slide in) on the first page, which I can't get past, run in a continuous loop.
In a "container" movie I have an imported swf flipbook from indesign that needs some buttons to move through pages. I can control it with a simple nextFrame() and prevFrame() but this is done without the page curling/turning effect. Does anybody know which as3 command(s) or function(s) calls the turning effect like when clicked at corner of pages?
View 2 RepliesI have a Flex panel, in InDesign, from which I drag an URL. If I drop this URL on a text editor or a web browser, it works. But when I try to drop it on my InDesign document, it's a little bit harder.I have implemented a subclass of CDragDropTargetFlavorHelper. The drop works perfectly on Windows. But on mac, I have problems in the method CouldAcceptTypes :
DragDrop::TargetResponse AutocatDNDCustomFlavorHelper::CouldAcceptTypes(const DragDropTarget* target, DataObjectIterator* dataIter, const IDragDropSource* fromSource, const IDragDropController* controller) const
{
if (0 != dataIter && 0 != target)
[code]....
The problem is the IMPDataObject I get is nil. There is no item in the controller. However, there were items in the CouldAcceptTypes method, in the DataObjectIterator. So, where are my items ?I tried using a custom CDataExchangeHandlerFor, but could not really understand what its usage was for. It didn't work anyway.
I am about to eat my keyboard. I created a flash file with some swf's (created in flash) wich are loaded with loadMovie("name.swf", 4); and fscommand to open on fullscreen. No problems everything works 100%! But! When I load swf's that are created with Indesign (the swf's work fine when I open them individually) It doesn't work! It seems it loads the swf every 2 seconds again or something. I sure hope there's anyone who's got a clue for me!

View 2 RepliesI'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?

View 2 RepliesI 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'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 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.
