Flash :: Make An Expanding Banner?
Aug 27, 2008
I know that people don't generally like expanding flash banners, but my motive is simply to provide additional details for the sponsors of my forum[url]...
As you can see, in the upper right hand corner, I have a very simple rotating flash banner that shows the local companies that keep it going. I'd like to provide an additional service for people that are interested in using them, where each sponsor gets a drop-down menu that has a map, address, directions and contact information IF the user clicks on it, and wants to see the information for that sponsor.
Now I know enough about flash on how to create the actual banner itself, but for the life of me, I simply cannot make it extend over the rest of the page. It always ends up displaying the entire .swf file, no mater whether I make half of it transparent or not.
I've tried using several banners, including the Double-Click Ad Kit and some other expample flashes, but for the life of me, and through very extensive googl searching I can't find any clear cut instructions on how to make it extend OVER the rest of the body. I've found some pages that sorta mention how to do it, but I really have had no luck in duplicating it.

Code:
for (i=0; i<200; i++) {
circle.duplicateMovieClip("circle"+i, this.getNextHighestDepth());
randX = Math.floor(random(Stage.width));
randY = Math.floor(random(Stage.height));
this.banner.setMask(this["circle"+i]);
this["circle"+i]._x = randX;
this["circle"+i]._y = randY;
}
Circle is a movieclip that has a circle starting at 2px by 2px and expands to 100 by 100. Banner is just a movieclip, but I would like these expanding circles to act as a mask to reveal the banner. This should work, but isn't, I know I am overlooking something.

I just need to know how to make a flash banner almost exactly like the one in the link. I would make it my own of coarse, but I need my banner to be the same size and same effect when the pictures change. I need to know how to make the photo's change from one to another, and how to make the transition effect as the photo's are changing. Here's the link to the banner I need to know how to make. [URL].

I am a full time web designer for a company that specialises in building online booking websites for the travel industry.I am an expert when it comes to Photoshop, but Flash is still quite new to me, I know the basics on how to make a flash display banner for an ad campaign but that's about as far as it goes.Basically I am creating an ad banner for a client, I have decided to use vector graphics for button/lozenges instead of PNGs to save on file size. However, when I create the buttons/lozenges on the stage the text seems perfectly aligned within. However, when I publish the SWF it seems to misalign. Look at the screenshot below for an example of what I mean.

I am new to CS5 and i'm wondering how to make a flash banner play only once for the visitor. My home page has a search engine and every time the search the result will display with the banner playing again. this is the same for navigating through pages. I want the banner to stay on the last frame. its not looping, its just replaying everytime i navigate.

I have found a code on the net for a Flashbanner that scrolls the infoholder (info) horizontal. De info contains data parsed from xml. Now I want to replace the scrolling effect with a fade-in/out. I know there's a way to make a fade-in/out effect with two mc_containers. I tried that but with no result. Then I tried to make a Array where the info is pushed in.
ActionScript Code:
var holderArray:Array = [];
ActionScript Code:
info.name="info"+i;
addChild(info)
holderArray.push(info.name);
Then I tried to transform the holderArray.
ActionScript Code:
function tweenSwitch(i:Number):void {
MovieClip(getChildByName("holderArray"+i))
setChildIndex(holderArray[i], 0);
trace(holderArray[i]);
}
But when I test this I get this error:TypeError: Error #1034: I don't understand this error so I am stuck right now and don't know what to do next.

I recently just made a flash banner where you can click buttons to change frames. I also want to add the ability for it to automatically change frames after 7 seconds. I've put all of the pictures on the same frame and gave them frame labels. What would be the actionscript code I should use to make this work, along with making the buttons still functional? Also, how can I put buttons to go to the last frame from the first, and first to the last, while still making them stop at every frame? I keep trying and nothing's working.
If you'd like a more in-depth look, I've provided the .FLA file here:

I'm having a little trouble with my flash banner. When I click on my button, it opens the link I specified in a new window or new tab, like target _blank in HTML. I want it to open in the same window, so you're still navigating through the site. Here's my button's code: link_btn5.addEventListener(MouseEvent.... goToURL5); function goToURL5(e:MouseEvent):void{ navigateToURL(new URLRequest ("/forums/index.php "));}

At the moment i am trying to make a flash banner that rotates banners out randomly and also when the guest sees the a banner they are intrested in they can click on it and it will take them to the respective link. I followed some tutorials out there on how to use xml and flash together and came up with this for my flash code:
// set random # variables - each must be 0 for first 'while' loop belowvar randomNum = 0;var randomNumLast = 0;
// parent containervar container_mc = this.createEmptyMovieClip("container",0);// movie clip

I am trying to make an animated flash banner in which a graphic slides across a 774 by 100 px stage which stops after playing once and repeats on mouse over.
I have managed to make the animation repeat on mouse over, but when it does, the graphic only slides to the point on the stage that the mouse moved over.
I have also tried this with a mouse out which works fine but is not quite what I was trying to achieve.
ban.mouseChildren = false;
ban.addEventListener(MouseEvent.MOUSE_OUT, banOut);
ban.addEventListener(MouseEvent.MOUSE_OVER, banOver);
[Code]....

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 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.

What 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 am useing Flash CS3. For some reason, I will click on the little arrow on a tool like "free transform" to get to the "Gradient Tool" but it refuses to expand so that i can select the "gradient tool". I am having the same problem with other expandable items as well like the "rectangle tool" which by clicking the little arro in the lower right should expand a menu to select other tools like the "Oval Tool" etc. Does anyone know what this could be?

how can I make it so that my flash html page centers with the browser, when you expand the browser.. I have no problem with the index page, but its when going to my flash html page that I get this uneven amount of white space on the right side. For example, my index page.. when you resize the browser the page also centers itself when you expand.. but when on the flash html page you see the off-centered amount of space.

I am customzining a Flash FLV Player skin and everything is basically done and working according to play.My two questions are the seek bar appears to be shorter than the movie length despite the fact that I expanded both instances of it on the FLA of the skin itself?The second question is -- what AS could I use to display the time code of the movie as "0:00" if I wanted to have that appear too?

I've recently just started delving into both actionscript and flex...the main reason being I like to create a sortable datagrid or datagroup like thishere you click the main entry that already has some detail and the row expands to show more.It might be possible to do with an itemrenderer but for the life of me I cant seem to find any tutorial or source or demo that doesn't assume you already know what to do with the itemrenderer since you cant just drop them in and have them work it seems.

I have to make a banner ad for my company's website that is 4 frames. It needs to play each frame about 3-4 seconds and then loop after 4th frame and continuously do so. It needs to begin this process when the web page is brought up without the user doing anything to it (so no clicking)And I have to keep it under 40k.I've found alot of tutorials for using external swf files and images but everything seems to use a button and I can't seem to get the coding down at all.
