I am sure many of you have heard already about a banner rotator Piecemaker.Very good job from the guy.All I want to ask is if there is a tutorial somewhere to do something close to this.Not with so many effects,files and details.I am looking to create something more more simple but with the same use. A banner rotator with images from xml.
I am implementing the flash slider, Piecemaker, for the first time in my latest project. I've got a problem with it's animation being cropped by the width and height of its container, and I cannot for the life of me work out how to let it overflow outside its container during animations. There is also a weird problem I've just noticed that the top of the slider gets clipped off for some reason? who's worked with piecemaker, or something similar, or a css ninja see what the problem is? Here is the demo as it is at the moment - Link
I sent an email to pom regarding a tutorial that he wrote, but the email was bounced and he hasn't replied to my PM. I have followed both of pom's tutorials that involve experiments with perspective in Flash, but I have encountered a problem while attempting to duplicate a movie clip symbol in the second tutorial ([URL]). I have a single instance of the "ball" movie clip symbol appearing at random positions. However, I cannot seem to successfully duplicate the symbol instance at random positions using the loop that pom provided:
I have built a catalog in flash that was orginally built in InDesign and exported but it has some small content that is hard to read for the elderly users viewing it and I would like to add a zoom feature or some type of magnifying glass.
original: I really just need to figure out how to center the pictures. here is what I did I have modified the tutorial that I finished to have a bigger stage for bigger pictures. Everything is working properly but the pictures are displayed on the left side, I want to have them centered in the stage for the images, after clicking on the thumbnails, plus my images are different sizes as well. ranging from 200x410 to 744x410 but all are the same height of 410. i will post up what I am talking about at the end. I believe it is something within either the action script or the xml coding that allows the position of the image to be differently? please help here is what i am talking about[URL] Continued: Here is my coding in action script:
I have studied Senocular tutorial at Kirupa : XML- Driven Drop Down Menu at this link an I learnt a lot. The menu1.xml has a structure like this : Code:
Im trying to follow a tutorial which i believe requires you to use the document class to generate a flickr gallery in flash. the problem is it give you the code but does show you what to do with it. Ive looked into document classes but looks like you can only use one? and the tutorial has two (Flickr_viewer.as) and (Load_image.as)ive done all the tutorial says, like changing the API key and NSID, but dont have a clue what to do now.url...
NOw in the Fla there is two dynamic text field with instance name "name_txt"and "comment_txt" and some thumbnail images as button representing different persons "1", "2", "3" and so on. What I want when the user click the buttons the name and the comment will change accordingly. I think for loop is best for this one. Shall be glad if any one give me some good and effective tutorial on this.
I am trying to use the External SWF Preloading Tutorial. Its a great tutorial, but when i try and load the swfs inside the holder it loses some of its functionality. The rollover states of the buttons work but when one clicks on the calender it does not work and some other things dont work also.
I am trying to follow and create a tutorial which explains how to make a bouncing ball.I am really struggling with the Action Script 3.0 even though the teacher types it in.I am inserting the code so that you can view it.[code]
I need to make a movie whereby the user drags four items onto 4 targets and achieves a result as each object lands on the target, such as a sound. and then a well done statement at the end.
Can anyone recommend me a place where I can download such a file so I can manipulate it?
I just read a good tutorial at [URL] about creating simple apps with AIR/FLEX. What are some similar pages and/or good books that I can read to move from "beginner" to "novice"?
I am a programmer with a relatively good background programming in ActionScript using Flash Builder. However, I have been handed a FLA file meant to be opened in Flash CS 4, and I have to add some code to it, but this is the first time I've ever used this software in my life.After I opened the file, I was greeted by a quite unhelpful interface (maybe it's friendly for artists?), and I immediately had questions such as:
-How can I edit the source code? -How do I run the program? -How is the source code organized? -Where is the entry point of the program? -How can I do source control of these files?
I've been looking at flash tutorials online, but every tutorial starts with drawing shapes, tweening, the timeline, etc. Honestly, I don't care about any of those things (they've already been done by people at the design team).I already know how to code in ActionScript, so what I need is a tutorial to give me a kickstart in coding -already designed- flash files using Flash (not Flash Builder).I have been fighting against flash cs4 all day and I am very very disappointed with it. I thought I was good with technology, but it has been a really long time since I last found a tool so difficult to use and understand.
I am trying to get the full actionscript for Lee Brimelow's carousel tutorial parts 1-3. Does anyone know how to get this so that I can check my actionscript against his?
I remember seeing a few tutorials here and there for using php to generate an XML file of all the pics in a directory. I tried looking for one but can't seem to find any. Does anyone have any links to one?
I was wondering if there was a way to make the XML Flash Slideshow begin playing once it loads and to possibly have a pause feature. I saw this asked in another thread but there was no response to it.
I am trying to use the External SWF Preloading Tutorial. Its a great tutorial, but when i try and load the swfs inside the holder it loses some of its functionality. The rollover states of the buttons work but when one clicks on the calender it does not work and some other things dont work also. I would really like to implement this in my site. Does anyone know why this might be or if it has been answered before.
I got it to work by using loadMovieNum but then lost placement of the swf it keeps going to the top left. I would really like to use loadClip it seems alot more customizable.
I am trying to load an external swf that uses an xml file. The main movie is called mySite. The external swf is gallery.xml. And it uses the file gallery.xml. It works fine as a stand alone movie. Following along with the tutorial I created a movie clip in my site on a frame to use as the stage. I call this movie clip galleryStage. Inside the galleryStage movie clip I followed the tutorial but left out the buttons portion.I am not using any..I created galleryHolder, galleryLoader, and actions layers. I created movie clips with the same names and instance names on their respective layers.
I followed Lee's tutorial on the 3D rotating photo panels. Ive come to the point where I want to preload the con movieclip as the content inside is around 1mb. Ive tried several techniques but had no success.One technique was a preloader that goes to the next frame once the loading is complete. But I get an error that it cant reference the con movieclip.
