I am new to flash, but the main reason I got it was so I could create an object to put on a webpage. I want to be able to create a revolving website list, with pictures of the sites in the list, like on the main page of this site: [URL]
View 1 RepliesI have what I hope is a fairly straight forward question that I hope you can answer if you write code with a Mac or are at least familiar with the process on a Mac? The person I have been working with to create my photography website uses a PC. Here is the problem. I am trying to use my Mac in order to create frames so that I can add 5 more images to a portfolio that presently has 15 images.
The code is in an index.fla file. If I want to create a new frame in the index.fla, let's say LOAD CODE 381 and want to use the same text that is already present in LOAD CODE 380 but with a few edits, I have no trouble going to the Action-Movie Clip and finding LOAD CODE 380 in the left hand column. The problem is, on a Mac, how do I create frame LOAD CODE 381 and then how do I copy and paste the text from LOAD CODE 380 into LOAD CODE 381? It looks like on a PC one can open LOAD CODE 380 in the Action-Movie Clip, highlight the text then right click on the red rectangular box in the timeline. By doing so (on a PC) one sees a drop down menu that gives the option to "copy key frame". What is the equivalent of the "copy key frame" on a Mac? I can see where on the Mac you can go to Edit >copy. Is this the equivalent of "copy key frame" on a PC? If so, once I "copy" the text how do I create the new LOAD CODE 381 so that I can paste the text into the new frame?
I'm trying to make my own photography website using flash. I have a basic outline/template or what I want it to look like and all of the action script to connect the pictures but I'm missing the main things. The pictures. I have html embedding codes for all of the images and would like to use those somehow instead of just having to manually copy and resize my pictures into the actual flash document (because that takes up a lot of space and makes loading longer, I think).
View 2 Replieshow they get the pictures to fade in and out on the click of one of their buttons?I have been trying for a very long time and I really dont know where to start. This is the website with the animation: [URL]
View 5 RepliesI would like load a list of pictures with filenames like that img1.jpg, img2.jpg, img3. jpg, etc.. So, I load one and when it's completed I load the next until I get an IOerror because I don't know how many pictures there're but the script doesn't work.[code]
View 6 RepliesIn a kind of image browser where navigation is done through keyboard's arrow keys, I get the case where the user keeps the finger pressed on the arrow key. There, the list scroll faster and the screenshot doesn't have time to draw that the next item is already called.
I can see that in that case the CPU goes from an usual 1% when browsing "gently"..to about 20% when leaving the arrow key pressed and raging through the list of images.
I was thinking to:
1) Force the scroll rate to max out at 10 items per second
or
2) Only show pictures if key downs are > 10fps
or
3) Find a function that would wait for the last image to be drawn before continuing in the list.
So, to summarize:
- how to skip drawing pictures if the list is browsed to fast...or
- how to force the script to wait for the current image to be drawn before passing to the next item...or
Here is the script part containing the PNG loader, I've the feeling that this is the place where such a "limiter" should take place:
Code:
MC_loader.loadClip(displayArray[masterindex]".png", "screenshot_mc.screenHolder_mc");

I'm building a website in flash 8. I have significantly reduced the file size of my pictures for the website with Irvanfiew. (for instance a 75kb picture down to 24kb) the quality is good, but the shadow that Irfanview use is rubbish. If I import the picture AS IS without shadow and convert the picture into a movie and add a shadow, will that add a lot of kb's to my overall website?
View 5 RepliesCreating a dynamic list and associating a picture with each list item. i need the list to be scrollable, and i want the list and it's associated picture to be displayed randomly when the application is re-launched. i.e it doesnt show the same list everytime.

View 1 RepliesOk so I'm a noob when it comes to Flash so this may be really simple but then again it could be extremely difficult I don't know. I need to create a Flash document that contains an object that can be rotated 360 degrees using a scroller using pictures of the object probably in jpeg format.

View 1 RepliesI am new to flash and action script - My target is to make a website with flash. Everything was good until I get to the actions step. I need to create animation with pictures. I am using labels, so when you are on some label and pressing to move to other one it have to create sorting animation which exactly contains the image you have now and to change it to new image of the pressed label.

View 2 Replies[URL]. It's a tutorial that shows how to create a photo gallery and load the pictures and comments via XML. My problem is the following, the gallery and everything works well, but I when I try to load it into a container then everything messes up. Here's what I have: I have a main movie (the main .swf file) with a container in it, when clicking on one of the buttons from that movie the gallery.swf loads into the container (the gallery is the exact gallery from the tutorial) and it works well, until I press the button to load it again.
It seems that it messes up the value of "p". I tried tracking it, on the first load it tracks normally p=1, 2, 3, 4.... but on the second load it reacts as if it's double tracking it p=0 1, 2 2, 3 3, 2 4 ... It seems that Flash somehow keeps the old value of "p" in mind. I tried reseting it somehow or something but I can't seem to make it work (or maybe I have to rebuild the whole thing?).
It works perfectly if I load it only once but if I load the gallery.swf twice or more times then it goes crazy (or since I have more buttons on the stage, after pressing one and coming back to the gallery, it does the same, it's messed up). How can I "reset" the value of 0 on every load or something? I even tried playing around with unloadMovie but can't figure out how to use it.
I am trying to create a table of thumbnail pictures from an xml. I have made the table load from from the file though when the items are created the other layers (e.g background and text field) only show in the first thumb. I also want to be able to click the thumb and have it go to the corresponding url from "curl[]". I just can't work it out. At the moment it will only go to the last url added in the array! I have a clip on the main stage with instance name thumbnail Here is the code I am using

I've got to construct a basic xml file listing website assets (pictures and text strings) that a flash photo gallery references.
I'm using a Mac and OpenOffice. I've got Dreamweaver, dashcode, and a couple of open source IDE's. I'm not a programmer, so scripting gets a little difficult.
I'm hand typing the file right now, but the task is very slow because of the number and order of the "fields" and values for each record in the xml.
Is it possible to set up a spreadsheet of the data and then parse an xml file from that? I've got to follow this format for each record:
<photo imageurl="url" linklabel="text"linkurl="url" showFlipButton="true"><title>text</title><description>text</description></photo>
I have created a gallery that loads pictures from the server into a movie clip within Flash MX. This works fine. Now I have been asked to take those pictures that load dynamically and allow them to be a static image so that they can be clicked on enabling the user to view them at an enlarged state.Can I create a button that talks to the movie clip allowing the pictures being loaded to pull a pop up window enlarging it?
View 3 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]...).

I bought a book on beginning AS3, but it only introduces some properties and methods as it uses them in examples.
