Where I can find a tutorial creating a Floating AS3 Flash banner? My understanding is that you have to use wmode and div layers, and I don't know what those are? Do you have to use Javascript to open and close the banner? I thought you could use AS3 visible or load to do this? I found this: Sliding flash ad over html content [URL].
View 2 RepliesI'm interested in learning more about Rich Media banners (floating, expandable, banners with video, and so on...).I've researched everywhere, and wondered if anyone knows how to pull this stuff off without using things like eyeblaster and dart motif. I know every site kind of has their own requirements, but where do you start?
1. I know I could design and create something that would function using transparency, but what about when you hand the banners off to the website you're advertising on? Do they just know how to implement an expandable or floating banner just by giving them an SWF file?
2. What about video? Most sites have like 20-30k file size limits. Do you have to host the videos on a different server and just pull the video in separately?
Having a problem with a little animation involving balloons floating in and then floating out again when a condition is met. There are two ways they can float in or out: from left to right, or completely randomly. I actually like it as coming in (left to right) and going out (random) but it's essentially up to the user.
Since I moved my Array sort code into the function that basically deals with telling the balloons to float off though, I've been having problems. Sometimes one or a couple of the balloons will not float off and I'm kind of boggled as to why. Because it works fine IF the Array sort part is outside this function, I'm wondering whether, when the for loop at the bottom starts running, the Array is still being sorted and that's why some balloons get left behind.

View 1 RepliesI'm trying to embed Flash movie (MP3 player) to HTML using SWFObject. The SWF is 30px high but when you roll over some elements, the height can go up to 100px because some elements show up. What I want to do is to have div 30px high but when I roll over particular Flash elements, then the elements that should show up are not visible. I was wondering if there is a way to allow Flash to 'float out' of the div so the taller elements become visible when rolled over the Flash movie.

View 2 RepliesThe problem is demonstrated at this link. Read the text in the upper left. [URL] I have elements floating on the x and y axis. But I will also need to resize the scrollbars in this swf. After I resize the scrollbar - done through javascript (clicking a pink button) the floating element will reposition on the y axis but stop floating.

I have a pretty simple flash banner(using flash cs4) that I want ot make clickable.I am assuming I have everything correct, because when I "test movie", everything works as expected.Now comes the odd part. When I export movie, the clickable portion no longer works. Along the same lines as soon as I save the .fla file, the "test movie" no longer works.I have recreated this about 10 times now and everytime the same result. now I have it open on my computer, because as soon as I save it will no longer work.
My actionscript(3.0) code is as follows:
link_btn1.addEventListener(MouseEvent.CLICK, sgurl);
function sgurl(Event:MouseEvent):void;
{[code].....
and yes I have a button with an instance name of link_btn1
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 am trying to make a flash banner with a picture on the right that is covered with blinds and opens when the page loads. Then on the left side of the banner I have some text that I want to fade in after the picture loads and stops, I don't have a clue as to what I am doing wrong I can get the picture to loads and the blinds to open, but when I attempt to add the text fade in to it I no longer have my picture, although the text fade-in works fine. I am rather new to Flash and I have been work ing ont his for 3 days with no luck.
View 10 Repliesanyone know of a good resource for banner development tips and tricks - mainly in regards to image optimization, external imports and filesize reduction. Its been a while since i have looked into smart ways to pack more clarity and quality into flash banners and wanted to reach out.
View 0 RepliesWhat I am trying to do, is to make a flash banner that links to more than one URL. I have looked around for a solution for this problem of mine, but haven't found a thing. I've made banners before, linking to only one URL and that hasn't been a problem. I tried to copy/paste the AS stuff from one layer to another, but that just gave me an error message: 1021: Duplicate function definition
Google pointed out this forum when I was looking for a solution to that problem, and I tried mixing numbers in the buttonClickHandler among other things. Sure enough the error went away, but I still can't get the .swf to to work as I want it to. Now it just exports and lets me know that there are buttons there, but they don't take me anywhere.
I'm attempting to create a flash ad banner (728x90 leaderboard) which, when clicked on, loads a new frame that expands to fill the view port with a 6 page flash form. I'm not sure how I would go about loading a whole new window off of a banner which has already been predefined to a stage size of 728x90. I understand that if it were an expandable - I could merely make the stage larger, and knock out the transparency within the html/css. Here's an example of what I'm trying to do, but it was done with css/js, [URL]

View 14 RepliesI am trying to create a flash banner ad that loads when a page loads and gives the user the option to minimize it. When the ad is minimized, I wanted to leave a box (that could also function as a mini version of the larger ad)that could be clicked and reload the ad if desired.
I have been struggling with how to do this. I tried creating two movies, one for the main ad and one for the smaller box that remains after the ad is minimized. I inserted the object code for the larger ad into my html and it loads and will load the smaller ad then the button (for minimizing the ad) is clicked but the smaller ad loads in the area defined by the object code for the larger ad. I am not sure how to work around this.
Right I have created a flash banner ad and taken it into dreamweaver, I thought I could just link it to its website easily in DW but I can't.

We are moving to a new platform and will have a flash banner on the home page that will be changing frequently with new promos, etc. You can find the flash banner at http:[url].....I need to be able to update the swf file and have it immediately reflect on this new home page, but it only seems to be updating on the non-secure URL in Firefox and not at all in IE.
View 3 RepliesI'm trying to loop a Flash Banner ad. I added the code to the first and last frames on a separate action layer on the main timeline, but it's not working.
I'm using actionscript 2.0/CS4.
I have a stop action on the last frame of the last text movieclip that plays. And it seems to get hung up here. When I remove the stop action it just loops that movieclip and not the whole animation.
This is the code I'm using in the first frame of the main timeline.
> var counter:Number = 0
And this is the code I'm using in the last frame of the main timeline:
> // if its being used on the last frame use a stop(); action on the top line
> if (counter < 3) {
>counter++
> gotoAndPlay(1)
> }
I have flash as part of the adobe suite but am yet to have a real go at it. If I was to buy a third party flash banner say with a size of 100x250 and wanted to add text to it so it would then be 100x350, is this an easy process?
