I design all my sites using Adobe CS4 and have recently aquired a new client that is wanting the ability to update his own site i.e. change pictures, text etc. after I have completed the design and the site is live.
View 1 RepliesI have a section on a site that my client wants the ability to add her own links within. So basically she wants the ability to content manage that section of the SWF.
I know how to do this using XML but I'm not comfortable presenting it that way to my client. Is their a clean and easy-to-use way for my client to add her own links into the SWF? She has no HTML experience so that's why I'm hoping there's a simple way to allow her to do this. Is it possible to build an HTML page that has 2 input fields and a submit button. The first input field would be for the link name and the second would be for the link path. Then submitting that data would update the SWF file? (I'm sure that I'm over simplying this but I thought I would throw that out there)
My client has approx 12 different presentation .swf's all with a beginning, middle and an end (phew!). I need to build an interface that views those 12 individual presentations as thumbnails on a single page and allows my client to click and drag whichever ones they wish to use into a separate little container above and in-doing so create a new required running order (left to right) each time they use my interface... so that once they have decided that running order they can somehow use the result for their required presentation. They will be using this interface ongoing throughout the year for various presentations all that will require maybe just a few of those individual swf's in different orders.
View 6 RepliesI'm in trouble, because i need to build a site for a customer who needs an uploading file system, but i can't handle it. He wants to have the possibility to upload images and text that will be visible in another page of the site. These are the offers of his shop, that will be shown as a list in another mc. This console should be invisible for visitors (i'll use a password system to prevent accesses).
I know there are many examples and tutorials for this ("flash upload file" in google), but im a newbee in programming and i really can't figure out how to solve this problem. It could be even a php system. I don't care about graphics cause it would be invisible for visitors. What i care is that those images and text are reported in that "offer list" mc. Finally, is possible to have an auto resize (pixels and kbs) of the images?
I want to change the position of the pictures used in link # 5 (portfolio). Text on right side and picture on left side but horizontal position.
View 3 Repliesinstead of setting the intervals, i want to change it into something like adding a textbox for users to enter the intervals. and i also want to try to change the codes so that only when the user click, then the arrow would move. so its two separate favors.... 1.adding textbox.... 2.using onMouseDown function to move the arrow.
var targetIndex:Number = 1;
//var xValues:Array = [100,200,220,300,330,370];
//var yValues:Array = [100,150,220,300,310,400];
var tarArray:Array = [[0,0], [10,10], [100,100], [200,150], [220,220], [300,300], [330,310], [370,400]];

how to control the display of pictures by date?
I want to display images based on the date. Then it changes to the next one. For example for March it would be picture: img01.jpg and for April I would like the flash movie to automatically load the next picture: img02.jpg.
I have a PopUpButton that only contains 2 actions. Both actions are complete opposites of each other and switches a boolean property on an object from true to false or false to true. To avoid redundancy, I've only displaying one action at a time. So, if the property is true, the action to change it to true is not shown.
If my PopUp menu has a single option, I would like to remove the menu from being shown and basically revert the PopUpButton to act and look like a regular button. So far, I haven't really found a good way to do that in ActionScript without adding, removing or modifying styles for the button.
Is there a nice way to simply tell the button to hide the PopUp toggle? PS: In my specific example, YES it might be easier if I just used a toggle button. However, I want to reuse this button when dealing with an Array of objects. If I have more than one, the property could be true and false at the same time. In that case, I want to show the menu so they can choose what option to set all the object's properties to.
I've been recently asked to do an interface from this file(view the attached file). The file was from ultrashock, anyway my client wants the interface to appear instead of the circles. Is there any easy way to change the circle to movie clips/buttons? I would also like to have the 3d flower rotated randomly after being selected and the interface will zoom into the selected link and the sublink will pop up from the selected link.I've been told by my friend that it requires XML but I think there's gotta be an easier way.
View 1 RepliesI have a .net client app that needs to play some content (images, movies, swf files etc) on the client machine. What it does is download the content from a server to the HDD in a folder, and play it. BUT: the SWF file has a need to read RSS from the web, and what i need is the folder where the app content is kept to be added in Trusted Locations (what you regulary do when right click .swf file, go to Global Settings > Advanced tab, and Trusted locations.. button, and specify a folder.
Now, i have searched the web, and there is a place where this is saved: :Documents and Settings\Application DataMacromediaFlash Playermacromedia.comsupportflashplayersyssettings.sol, however, i don't know if this is changeable from another app : eg. when my .net app is installed or started, that it adds the folder to trusted locations, so that the SWF would be able to play RSS from web.
I'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 RepliesIm creating MMO with flash but making it small at first.... I need to know the best way to code the characters.... I was thinking keeping all the data such as coordinates, inventory and cash all in MYSQL so the clients cant change the values in my flash client program. I was thinking of calling quires every few seconds which would eventually becomes thousands... what do you think is the best way about it?
BTW: Flash = Client Side
PHP = Server
MYSQL = DATA
I'm taking a stab at learning adobe cs4 flash. How can I combine different text and pictures into 1 picture? For example, Iposted a link of tutorials below:URL...Now say I would like a background to fade in, then the picture of a car, then the text. How would go about this? I already have all the images separated (background, car, and text using photoshop), but I would like the background to slowly fade in, then make the car slowly fade in while coming from the left of the screen, and then the text fades in.
View 1 Replieswhat is the AS for making some text and pictures scroll in with the same scrollbar. is there a component in mx that i could use?
View 1 Replieshow to go about searching for this since I don't know the terms used for it. I am trying to make an interface to use on a website that would have to pull up images and text with no preloading. Think of an online encyclopedia; you put in a word and it pulls up the object/animal/etc with a description. I am looking at needing to pull up thousands of different things; hence the no preloading.
View 2 Replies[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.

I am working on making a flash site for some lingerie that I made. I have some experience but not much. Instead of placing each image into the video, I would like all of the images and corresponding text description to appear upon loading the page. Do I use XML for this or can I just create a complex array of where the image is located and its corresponding description and then program a function to load it?
View 3 RepliesI am somewhat of a beginner and have been attempting to create an entire website using Flash CS4 Everything is going quite well and the body of all of the pages are built The navigation buttons to each page are working perfectly. Now I am simply filling in the content for each individual page. Most of the pages were large enough to contain the content without requiring more room One of my pages will have a large area of text and several pictures.I became aware of the Components menu last evening and the selection of the scrollbar.I added the component to my page and sized it accordingly. It allows me to add text but not JPEG images. I was wanting to know how to utilize the scroll feature and still have text and images on the page
View 9 RepliesThe original flash has a publish setting to Flash Player 5, and I have to have the publish setting set to Flash Player 8 (actionscript 2). The original flash works with the Flash Player 5 setting however when I change it the rollover text to picture stops working.

I am developing a test system and want to allow the users to access the questions in the database without the ability to copy them. A php file intermediates the access with the database. There a couple of links to certain sections of questions and then links to certain pages. Is there a possibility to put this php content in a flash frame and deactivate the possibility to select text?
View 5 RepliesI'm doing a trial of the CS5 applications and I cannot seem to find out to increase the size of the font on my user interface. I'm finding the default font size to be too small to work effectively and find the commands I need. I've tried Edit->Preferences which is where one typically finds this type of interface option; however, I do not see any way to do this. I've tried adjusting my screen resolution and screen font size and while this affects every other application on my screen, it does not affect Flash Professional.
View 4 RepliesI just made these quick flash banners for a client but he's saying that the text isn't showing up for him.I have the banners hosted here - http:[url]...........And any idea why it wouldn't be showing up for him? I'm assuming he's running on an outdated version of Flash but I know if that's the case he's going to worry about other people being on the same outdated version he's on and they won't be able to see the text.

View 7 RepliesI'm building a website where I hook people up so that they can anonymously vent to strangers. You either choose to be a listener, or a talker, and then you get catapulted into a one-on-one chat room. The reason for the app's construction is because you often can't vent to friends, because your deepest vulnerabilities can often be leveraged against you later on. (Like it or not, this is a part of human nature. Sad.)
I'm looking for some insight into how I should architect everything. I found this neat tutorial, [URL], which suggests using python & stackless + flash. Someone else suggested I should try using p2p sockets, but I don't even know where to begin to look for info on that.
