Im a relative novice in Flash and Im used to working in CS3. However, I am trying out CS4 to do a change a template that a client bought. Everything is going smoothly for the most part.However, I am not able to change the tab names on the template that she wants. I expected for the text to be on its own layers as seperate rollovers, but I guess somehow they are nested within the button shapes and I cannot locate them. I've been trying to change them for the past 2 days and I have had no luck thus far.I know you guys are some of the best when it comes to Flash. Here is the working template and what I have done thus far. I was able to change the girl's eye color from blue to dark brown and change the default title that came with the template to the name of her business:
I am using a web template for a client that contains a flash header. Images and text can be changed with a data.txt file and image replacement. However I also need to change the colors of the button backgrounds and one of the display fields...I have macromedia flash 8, the fla and swf files.
I work in expressions a lot and not in dreamweaver or macromedia 8; I've opened the files in M8, but this is totally over my head right now.
I have the foling template: [URL] But i need to change the foling link: [URL] to another page. So when i click on the link,i need to open a page inside, like page one, or page number two, to have the same fuction like the menus above.
I have a website template in which I am trying to change the header text words and menu text words to customize the template. How do I do this in Flash CS4?
I bought a template. xml flash. able to change anything in that. I had trouble, but the gallery section. I met with template-help. did not help. I want my products section of the text when I click on the menu on the left side there are three. I want to get these categories. When I want to come to each of the other galleries. but somehow could not.
The normal structure is: project/ bin-debug html-template libs src
I want to change it to: project/ bin-debug flash/ html-template libs src I know how to change the libs and src folders, but not html-template. Is it possible?
I am editing my website, a full flash site bought from Template Monsters and it seem there is a problem with screen resolution. When i publish the fla in flash only, it fits the screen exactly with no scroll bar but when i publish in html the flash content is bigger than screen size and menu bar stays outside the screen in the way that i have to scroll down to see menu contents and tabs.In order to make this site more user friendly I have tried to resize the screen to a smaller but seems to be not a good idea. I have also tried to use different .js and includes in order to solve the problem but still not giving the result i am looking for.
when I compile my action script project in Flash Builder 4 it creates a html wrapper file based on index.template.html in my html-template folder. That file automatically gets the name of my project or main application (project name.html). But usually I want it to have the name index.html
If you make multiple flash files from the same template and then edit that template, will all those files have those same changes? If not, is there a way to make the same change on multiple files at once? Basically the same idea as linking HTML files to a single CSS file...
Jesus Christ - I thought I was really good in flash.Got this template and I can't see S***. WTH - is it supposed to be this difficult to manipulate a template or am I stupid??? Go into project explorer and can't see much AS so how the hwll are they getting the images and text into the flash swf. By the html??? I don't think so.
I would like to make when I hit a button,It starts playing another scene and frame number. nIm useing gotoAndPlay(100); right now for my script. how do you change the scenes names?
On my stage I have about 10 different objects that are all copies of the same MC symbol in my library. I gave them all instance names: block1, block2, ... block10. In the code for my Document class, I wrote: Code: for (var i:int = 0; i < numChildren; i++) { trace(getChildAt(i).name) }
The first time I ran my code, my trace looked like: Code: block1 block2 ... block10 Later, I changed around the z-axis for a few of these objects on my stage (Ctrl + SHIFT + DOWN/ UP)
Then I ran my code again, and I got: Code: block1 block2 instance 16 instance 17 ... etc Why does affecting the z-axis of these objects affect their dynamic names?
MIX-ActionScript is my FLASH scripting language developed to confuse a small tool that can be function names, object names, variable names, class names and there is virtually no sense to change the strings, and at the same time very similar to the same time, this confusion is irreversible .Confusion after the code will bring some resistance to anti-compiled for your application security to provide protection.MIX-AS functional and ActionScript Obfuscator similar, unfortunately, this tool has not been updated.[URL]..
and I want to add multiple buttons, not just this one. I figured out by trial and error that I couldn't just consecutively list the instances, I also found I couldn't just replicate the code and change the instance names. I just need to know how to go about having multiple buttons/clips.
We've got an Illustrator file with something over 1,000 layers. We're trying to import this into Flash and keep the layer names intact, such that they become the names of the movie clips that are imported for each layer and can be used programmatically. (It is a diagram and arrows, boxes, etc all have callout names that will eventually allow them to link to a database.)As near as I can tell, the Import dialog will NOT pass this info across between the two parts of the dialog.
I started a thread about a reference to a symbol House, in the output window, which was: House_1. A lot of people said some useful things about that. All day I've been thinking about it, and I came to the conclusion that I don't understand things, at a very basic level.
Consider:I make a movieclip which I give the Symbol name Drawer. (I don't export it for AcitonScript.)On the stage I manually place two instances of this Symbol. The first one I give the Instance Name drawer (in the properties panel). The second one I leave nameless.Now if I trace the names of both these clips, by
Now I know that the so-called "instance name" which I gave in the Properties Panel (drawer) is, in reality, a variable name which Flash gives my first instance behind the scenes. And instance2 is a name that Flash gives my second instance. What exactly the nature of that name is, I do not know.My point is: both names (drawer and instance2) are the .name property of these movieclips. Otherwise I could not have traced them through asking for the .name property, in the above. Yet only the first of these two can be manipulated:
drawer.x can be set; instance2.x can (as we know) not be set.
But...why? What is the real difference between these two kinds of names? How can they both be the .name property of their underlying movieclip, yet be of such a different nature? What IS the nature of the instance2 name? If it's a String, how come the .name property of one movieclip can be a variable name, while the .name property of another (but identical) movieclip is a String?
I've searched every bit of web page on the net I could find. But it looks as if nobody addresses this issue. We all just work with it - but it makes no bloody sense. A name property = a name property, you'd think. Whether Flash set it or I set it should not make a difference. The x property of a clip, for example, does not change in nature according to who set it - me or Flash.So, again, just to emphasize the problem: how can a property (the name property) of a movieclip change in NATURE depending on who set it? After it's been set, shouldn't the name property of a clip be of exactly the same nature as the name property of another clip?
I have a IT background and have been able to alter most of the template by myself to the design I would prefer my website to have. However I have hit a snag, it looks like part of the flash website design is controlled by bitmap images therefore I concluded those images were under the sources within the PSD folder. I tried creating a PNG file and double clicking the relevant bitmap and then updating it with the new file. However after I perform a publish preview the the change made no impact to the design.
I have built a template for a client that I would like to use for every page of the site. The problem, of course, is that the content within each page has to be changed. Ideally, I'd even change the layout; for example, some might have images, others just all text, others tables, etc.
I have this template that i am modifying [URL] Photo gallery i am trying to use[URL] when you click on any of the images the site reframes and then you see a xml text box i want to replace that xml text box with an xml photogallery but i am not really familiar with the language and its been a long time since i did any web work.
I am customising a Template Monster template that has a flash menu.When I changed the getURL code (using AS2) of my flash menu buttons they work for an external URL but do nothing in my site. EG.THIS WORKSgetURL("index.html");THIS DOESNTI have everything in the same root folder and the animated menu bar works perfectly in-situ, just wont go from page to page.
I have two questions (I'm a photographer and flash novice):
1) I just bought this flash template (URL...) and I need to edit it. Rewriting the text is easy, I just rewrite it in XML files, but I cant figure out how to change the font, font color and font size. Could somebody tell me how to do it?
2) I also bought this template (URL...) and I cant figure out how to edit name in the header and text in the top menu. I really cant find it anywhere (I dont see it in Adobe Flash and I dont see any jpeg or PSD file in the flash directory...)
I'm going to use a Flash template as the basis for a new website. I have loaded the Flash files into Flash but I would like to work individually with some of the graphics images in the Library and edit them using Photoshop or Gimp afterwhich I will udpate them. I can't figure out how to exports or copy any or all of the elements in the Library so I can edit them
I don't know why this is so difficult, but I'm unable to embed a swf generated in flash into a dreamweaver template. I can finally create a few basic animations and want to test them out in the dreamweaver envoirment. What is the simplest path to accomplishing this? For example if I open flash, create a simple animation, like a ball moving across the screen. If I save that SWF, what's the next step after opening dreamweaver. I just want to be able to test it the site with dreamweaver or see it "live".
I just purchased a flash template and can not seem to find where I place the logo. The template now has a logo in text, but I want to replace it with an image.
I downloaded a flash template for a website and it includes a looping .wav soundclip that starts automatically when the page is loaded. There is an ON/OFF button that stops it, then starts it again.What I want to do is change the soundclip to a soundclip of my own. The instructions that came with the template say that to change the music, all I need to do is change the sound_Bar movie clip.
When I double click the sound_Bar movie clip, and select the "music" layer in the timeline, in the properties tab I see the following options:
I've imported my custom sound to the library, but when I select it, the values change to this:
Name: NEWclip.wav Effect: -- (blank) Sync: Event (<-- I can't change this back to being blank) Loop
Anyways, what happens when I change the clip is that when I click the OFF button, the sound does not stop. Then if I click the button again to turn it ON, it starts the clip again, but overtop of the one that's already playing.Does anyone know why this is happening and how I can fix it? I don't really know too much about flash, that's why I bought the template pre-made...so far I've been able to edit everything else, and the music seems to be the last step but is giving me the most problems.
