Flash :: 3D Home Planner Application Versus Unity3D?
Jan 25, 2012
We have for some time been discussing internally whether Flash or Unity is the best solution for our need.
Our plan is to make a 3D home planner application that runs online. Should be similar to this[URL]. however still with the 3D view, where you are able to walk around in the house you created.
At first glance Unity seem to handle 3D best (although I have seen some amazing 3D in flash aswell) but the problem is that not many people have unity and we want to reach the largest audience.
So I guess I am asking if a project like this is even possible in flash. Current status is that we have only little knowledge of Unity and very little knowledge in flash.
I need to put a Flash Object in my website developed on MVC2 .NET, however the third party who made it just gave me an html with this code.HTML errors apart I don't know how to put it on ASP.NET.
I exported a swf using Unity3D 3.5 preview. I can not change the dimensions when I load in as3 (Adobe Air 3).
When the swf loads appears the logo of unity with loading, that resizes to 730x750! Great ok! But when the loader of unity ends the swf resize for the stage size (1920x1080).
Im making a tool to plan dungeons, its a 25x25 grid made up of movieclips, the movieclip used has 10 layers, each layer a different colour/pattern to represent a room type. The idea is to choose the room from the legend then click on the movie clips you want to turn them into that room type.i have tried 2 methods, 1st i generated a grid and added a "cell"+count to each new instance as made, however i can only get it to change the last cell, no matter which clip is clicked.Now the 2nd "noob" method is to make each cell(instance square on the grid) and label them by hand, as well as add the code for each cell, but clearly this is alot of work. But it works, the next steps would be To convert the current grid setup into a text string to save Add a counter so you know how many squares you have used Reset button.
I'm working on a new portfolio, full flash website for myself and so far I've been working on my Macbook Pro almost entirely. The website is somewhat heavy in graphics/animation however nothing too big, all pages are around 500kb or less. Running the website on my MAC in any browser it looks perfect, the animation runs smooth, everything goes great. However, when I try to run the same website on my PC which is pretty good, the whole website feels a little bit choppy and laggy and I'm not sure why. It feels like it chokes for 1/4th of a second every like 2-3 seconds, lower FPS basically.
I want to get adobe flash to make animations at home, but im not sure what version to get or where to get it. I don't need the best version and i dont want to spend that much. Thank
So I've just embedded a .swf file as a header to my blog and the home button, the logo, is not working.Everything is linked up correctly. When I test it in Flash, it brings up my blog. However, when I'm actually on the site, the button does nothing.
I am trying to create a webpage with two buttons, Home and About.If the user clicks 'About', I would like an image to slide across the screen (motion tween) and display the 'About' page. (page2)How do you make an image animate whenever it goes from one "page" (instance) to another?
[URL]I want to play the home page animation once only - and when visitors come back to the home page - it would ideally go to the last frame (or?). I have seen 'mentions' of Flash objects (cookies) and other scripts but have yet to see the actual script to make this work.I'm using Flash MX 2004 (version 7.2)?
I've built a Flash site, embedded it within an HTML page and I'd like to add a 'HOME' button to the HTML page linking to a particular frame within the Flash. Is this possible?
I have just created a website in Flash MX and I would like to have a youtube video on the home page. I see in youtube where it gives the embed code for html sites, but what do I put in flash and what is the action script?
I am using the following code for my Navigation in a FLash CS4 file:
stop (); function buttons(event:MouseEvent):void{ gotoAndStop(event.target.name); } home.addEventListener(MouseEvent.CLICK,buttons); services.addEventListener(MouseEvent.CLICK,buttons); about.addEventListener(MouseEvent.CLICK,buttons); contact.addEventListener(MouseEvent.CLICK,buttons);
It works great when I am on the home page, but stops working once I navigate to any of the other pages. I have an Actions layer and that layer extends the full length of all pages/frames of the timeline.
I have the frames labeled as such: home, services, about, and contact. (All are "Type:Name")
each button is named as such: home/ instance of "home", services/instance of "services", etc.
So I know that PV3d looks quite dead. But it is documented over the internet much better. So I decided to develope my product using old but good PV3d engine. Time goes on so I plan to port it sooner or later to Away3d. So I need a list of things that aere not in Away3d that I have in PV3d. And a list of generall use diffrencies (use of cameras, viewports, etc). So where to get comparing list of papervision3d vs Away3d?
When publishing to iOS device the game plays well, when hitting homebutton it disappears as normal, but next time you open it - it starts to play at the state or level it was when quitting - as it only was paused. It should start up from default startupscreen.
ps we had an 103 error that we solved with this: [URL]
I have a series of PNG files I need to use in a Flash project.Usually I bulk load my PNGs via an xml or json page.I'm just wondering, what is the difference between loading PNG files this way and adding a PNG to the stage via the Library (say, if you imported a PNG file to the library and then added it to the stage via Actionscript OR if you just dragged it on the stage)
i always see some fancy/complex/elements got random motion: flash home page navigation, such as [URL] I just wondering is it very complex/hard to make one? & How can a newbi, like me get started to make one? does it involve complex/advanced actionscript?
I have a question on Flash structure "best practices". I am wondering which is the best way to go about designing a full website in Flash.I have seen the tutorials provided by Kirupa and others, but nothing answers the question I have. My question is this: How do I combine what I can do in actionscript and use the Flash timeline also? Or should I even try to combine both?
Ideally, I know we should use actionscript to design Flash pages, using CreateEmptyMovieClip, etc. That way the pages are truly dynamic using external images and xml files, and the entire Flash movie is only 4-5 keyframes. However, I cannot accomplish all the tasks in actionscript.I can do many things using Actionscript, write functions, tweens, filters, etc. But obviously I cannot do everything. Many things I want to do are easier using the Flash timeline. For example, a navigation bar which slides in from the outside once the entire page loads. I know the AS to make the nav bar slide in and out, but I cannot use AS to draw the nav bar in the way I want it (two layers of buttons with a line in the middle).
What is the best way to go about designing a site in this manner? Should I use the first few keyframes for the things I can do in AS, such as loading global variables, loading external data, etc. Then use regular Flash animation tools (keyframes & timelines) for the rest?
I want the simple movie to load the URL(home page) after it's finished. so i tried to add getURL("[URL]" , "_blank"); at the end of movie, but i keep getting errors.. this is the website that i'm working on LINK It's a very simple. i'm not even going to dare to make it fancier. I just want the movie to be over and go straight to the home page without any clicks.. i tried to put the geturl thingy at the last movie clip(Imagine tomorrow) and i tried to put it at the end of the keyline.. neither seem to work. i'm sure it's very easy one, but it just doesn't work.

I'm building a website in flash using my limited understanding of action script.Everything was progressing very well until I found that if I go to one of my example pages of my web site and play the flash video (with audio)and click back to my "home" button, the audio will continue to play.If I go back to the example page, the video is off and when I start the video, it plays again with the other audio.How do I stop the audio when I click away from the example page back to the home page or any other page?
I am writing an application in Flash Builder 4.5. I am also writing a PHP Web service to access data from our MySQL database. This Web service will be made available to third party clients for them to develop applications to access our database as well, via SOAP.
Is there a big performance difference between connecting to the service in Flash Builder via connecting directly to the PHP file vs. connecting to a Web Service via SOAP?I would kind of like to connect to this service the same way that our clients will, to make sure things stay as uncomplicated as possible for future development, but performance is my main priority.
The form is done and works. I set it up to send an email when the "submit" button is pressed. The problem is that after the form is submitted the home page pops up in a new window. I need it to send the email without a new window popping up. Here is the code.
var address:String = "/gdform.php"; var url:URLRequest; var variables:URLVariables = new URLVariables();
