I import my artwork from photoshop or internet, png8, or bitmap, i convert it to symbol, and double click the scenario, then i try to change color for example and instead of painting the color in the artwork it paints under the imported picture. When I draw a picture in flash it works good.

I have a template which I found online that I want to adapt, its saved as a flash file(swf i believe) so I can't edit the pictures etc of it. I've been told and read that you can decompile the file in ******* DeCompiler, so that you get the FLA file and also the option to extract all of the resources. Basically I want to do that and then change some of the images and colours within the site? I have extracted the resources, so I have a folder on my desktop now with all the current images etc in, and also the FLA file.
View 1 RepliesI'm having two problems. First of all, the gallery loads all pictures at once. The more pictures in the XML file, the slower they all load. Secondly, I wanted the pictures to scroll in its _y coordinate, similar to Sugar Rhyme's website portfolio (see url]...).
View 1 RepliesI'm actually relatively new to flash and actionscript but I could say I have fair knowledge about them. So anyway, I usually build flash websites the traditional way using timeline animation and scripting. Today I had a job interview and they said they're looking for someone who can develop any web design into a Flash CMS with a back-end office for the client to edit the content without having to edit the FLA file or any code.
Accordingly, I'd like to know where and how to start. What are the main concepts I should follow/adapt?
[URL] Take a look at that website. See whe you rollover one of the pictures, the other pictures fade out...Well how can I do that? I've tried some swapDepths techniques but it gets a bit confusing.

View 1 RepliesI'm having Trouble seeing files once they go online. Everything was just fine yesterday. But now whenever I export a file and upload it, it can't be viewed. They run just fine on my machine but when uploaded I get the "need newer version of Flash" message. And when I try to just load the swf it comes up blank. My older SWFs still work great, just the ones I exported today that are having problems.

View 2 RepliesI have recently upgraded to FlashCS5, but i am still working in Actionscript2.

View 1 RepliesI have a sample fla file, but I can't find where to edit the scripting in it. Basically there are 2 buttons, each one going to a different URL. I can't figure out where to change the URLs they go to. I've looked literally everywhere in flash.

View 1 RepliesI've got a very basic fla file which actually worked on flash5 but it's no more working with flashmx 2004. A movie clip move from a position , let say A, to B, then to C.
I insert a stop(); action on B, so the movie stop. Inside the movie entitie I insert a button with the command play() (I have also try _level0.play() or nameofmovie.play())I expected that the movie continue playing from B to C but it does nothing..
I want to zoom in and out on an image (it's actually a thumbnale which pops up). Or if you want, to have a small image 'grow' to a larger formatI tried it with scaling + tween, but it is hardly a smooth transition.

I'm trying to manage new levels via duplicateMovieClip and levels on the timeline (static and occlude the new levels)- but what's the best way?I presume that I can use swapDepths on the existing timeline items, to put the new levels properly between them. Or is there another way?(Note since I'm stuck at the lowly F5, I don't have getNextHighestDepth to manage the combinations.

I created a project w/a dynamic html scroll box on one page/spot on timeline. I want to use the same scroll box, but have it call a different .htm file for different content at a different part of my timeline.My problem is the file naming. I tried to just copy the entire scroller project I made and append a "_2" to all the file names, so that they wouldn't interfere with my original scroller in my main project, but that didn't work out.Is there anyway to duplicate the original scroller within my project and just have it call a different file?

View 1 RepliesWe are just starting out with Flash CS4 and we are looking to have 4 pages or maybe we should stay stages.
1. Text and Buttons (buttons will take you to a bigger description of the text)
2. Similar to 1st page
3. Similar
4. Actions that the buttons will be calling for
We are thinking that with the 3 pages, the 4th page if we have that in layers, the layers and show seperate actions we request from our buttons. And then an example would be on page 1 they hit a button that would bring up a 540X400 graphic. And another button might bring up the same type but a different picture and I am figuring if they are on different layers we can do it this way.
