I have seen this done before but cant find any tuts on how to do it. Or even any knowledge on how to program it. What I want to do is use streaming video ini 3 flash banners that are linked together as the background of a site. Also I would like to take the standard banner size 728x69, 250x300 and 160x200 and have the animation run between them all.
View 1 RepliesOk when you press link one it olads great! when i press link 2, it plays the closing animation, but not the entire animation, thats the problem.My closing animation is a red square going from one end to another ( for the hell of it).But you see content number two will load b4 the red square gets all the way across!!

View 2 RepliesI want to flow some MovieClips with special functionality inside a html text area. I get them to appear as desired like this:
HTML Code:
<img src="SpecialMovieClip"/>
The problem is how can I have each instance of "SpecialMovieClip" have unique attributes? I imagine html like this:
HTML Code:
<img src="SpecialMovieClip" data="something"/>
And then being able to read the "data" attribute from inside the SpecialMovieClip class.
I'm doing this project right now where I want to simulate fluid flowing through pipes. The pipes have 90* corners and sometimes there are forks in the pipes (splitting it into two pipes). Attempting this with tweened animations seemed to be too complex, so I'm using setInterval and duplicateMovieClip to do it.
I had this idea to use "redirectors," movieClips would redirect any movieClip that hit them. For instance, if I have a ball_mc moving horizontally and it hits a redirectUp_mc movieClip, the ball_mc's direction changes to "up". Of course, there will be many ball_mc clips... and as I start to get more complicated paths, the number of corners increases, too. That causes the number of hitTests (to check if the ball_mc clips are hitting the redirectors) to skyrocket... unless I can find a more efficient way to do it, that is.
Is there a way to check if I've hit any instance of the "redirectUp" movieClip? That would cut the number of hitTests down to 4M, which is way better than M*N (where M is the number of ball_mc clips on the stage, and N is the number of redirector_mc clips). Or, is there a better event model to use than hitTest?
I'm using TLF to lay out a dictionary entry. It's working fairly well, but I need finer grained control of layout than I'm able to achieve through setting style properties on FlowElements, primarily for horizontal spacing and setting padding on SpanElements independently of their parents.
The solution that seems most promising is separating the various elements of the entry into separate containers and flowing the text through them by progressively adding new containers and ContainerControllers for each new element with size set to their content bounds so that the text will flow into each new container.
This ALMOST works, but the text will only flow correctly into the next container if an extra line break is inserted between the two sections of text that should go to different containers. Without the line break, the containers are sized correctly, but no text displays.
In these examples I've added borders to the container sprites so you can see where they're being drawn. Aside from the line break, the text is exactly the same. The syllable field is a SpanElement inside a ParagraphElement. The pronunciation label and text are separate SpanElements inside another ParagraphElement.
[Code]...
As you can see, the pronunciation doesn't show unless a line break is added after the text, but the alignment is then off. No combination of line breaks seems to align them correctly.
Any ideas? Are these bugs in TLF? Should I try a different method? I would really like to have all the text selectable as one unit, and I love the better rendering and control that TLF offers, but I also need the layout flexibility. I suppose it's possible that I could hack something together like this with line breaks and positioning offsets, but it certainly wouldn't be pretty (or maintainable).
i really want to know how to add link to your animation . well when i passe the mouse over my animation it stops and when i leave it the animation continue... but what i want when the mouse over the animation i want to click on the animation and to bring me to a link.

making the dynamic text boxes expand if the xml text is of a larger size & moving the static text boxes so they don't start getting over written.
The code Ive used to put the text into the dynamic boxes is very simple:
var xmlData:XML = new XML ();var theURL_ur:URLRequest = new URLRequest("xml.xml");var loader_ul:URLLoader = new URLLoader(theURL_ur);loader_ul.addEventListener("complete", fileLoaded);

I'm wanting to link a flash animation to a page on my site. These are the steps i have taken so far Open flash , create New symbol (choose button) named it flashflashbutton Then still in symbol section, File import.
I then import a flash animation I made .swf.Now when I import it the animations frames stretch across the up, hit, ect. I am sure this isn't the correct way to do it.How do I import an animation and put all the keyframes (hence the animation ) just into the up mode.
As atm when i go to scene view, open librarary and drag it into scene view. Then test movie, It plays one frame if i hover over it it plays another frame.I assume the answer to this is sumhow put all the frames in the up mode, and another anim on the hit mode?
I would like to press a button on my screen, have it play a quick little animation and then link to another page on my site. I was thinking a gotoandplay followed by a navigatetoURL

View 3 RepliesIf I have 5 links when you are on link 1 and want to go to link 2 can I make it so when you click link 1 it tells it to play a set animation e.g. Movie1 then load link 2 section. But say you on link 1 and want to go to link 3 can you make it play Movie1 then go to link 3. Basically ever time you press a button it plays a set animation first before it goes to that link.

Lets say I have three different banners: A, B and C I have a main site in flash. Here I want to show a different startpage depending on which banner you have clicked.
So if I click banner A I want to got to startpage A If I click banner B I want to got to startpage B.Is this possible to do with actionscript or is this javascript related or perhaps php/serverside.
I have a mc (fStrip) which looks like a piece of filmstrip with thumbnail images in it. I want this mc to move when the users mouse is positioned over it, but I only want it to move only along it's x-axis and in a direction opposite that of the mouse. And I want it to move or flow smoothly.
I've been trying to figure this out (see my lame attempt below) but without much luck.
onClipEvent (mouseMove) {
buffer=20 //movement buffer
mousePos=_root.fStrip._xmouse //store mouse position
if (mymouse!=_root.fStrip._xmouse){ //if the mouse has moved

I have been trying to synch two different banners on a HTML page.
I have checked this link :: [URL]
But I am not sure if the localconnection is needed for what I am trying to achieve.
I have 3 banners on a website.Each of them rotate to different "ads" with different urls.When they are viewed at the direct url file location everything works perfect.They click to the correct place.However when they are viewed together on the main site they will not click through.
View 7 RepliesI was wondering of any methods to sync two flash banners? What I mean is that when the page loads neither banner starts until both are ready? I will have two flash banners like this: |Banner 1| (something else between them, html css) |Banner 2| Both banners will contain video, that needs to be played in sync. Any ideas? I would prefer AS2, because the site I will run these two banners on prefers AS2. I read something about LocalConnection in AS3, anything similiar in AS2? And does it work on all OS / browsers? Can it be done with Javascript?
View 3 RepliesI'm starting to get pretty good with flash cs4 creating banners. Is there a website with tutorials that I can get some more ideas on creating banners?
View 1 RepliesI just wanted to confirm whether or not webkit can show flash banners.
View 1 RepliesI have two Flash banner ads, built in CS5.5, using AS2, that will be placed on a page together and appear to interact with each other when played at the same time. Similar to this: [URL]..
The problem is that they might not load at the same time. How can I get each banner to check that the other has finished loading before playing?
I had read that LocalConnection was the way to do this, but I haven't been able to find anything that explains it well.
I'm trying to do a expandable ad banner. For example, a banner that comes from 200x200 for 400x200 with right alignment.
View 3 RepliesI am new to actionscript but use Flash to produce banner advertising. I have to produce 2 banner ads for the same page. Its quite simple there is a bouncing ball that bounces from one banner to another. I need a simple script so one one .swf finishes another will start. Obviously I need onload an stop so they work correctly in sync with page loads.
View 9 Repliesif anyone knows of any nice flash banner designs or would like to share some?
View 1 RepliesI have a project on which is going to involve me building thousands of flash banners.Which means I want to automate the process as much as possible. Each flash ad, is going to be exactly the same, apart from one word. So, what I want to do is the following:
- list 1,000 different words in my database
- Have flash pull one word from the database (php)
- Change the default text in the fla to the new word.
- then publish the swf, but naming the swf the word from the batabase.
- then repeat the process for the 2nd word in the list.
I am a very basic user on adobe flash, basically all I use Flash for at this moment is to create animated gif or basic SWF website banners. The problem that I am encountering at this moment is that when I export to an animated GIF the image quality becomes pixelated (see sample image below), where if i export the same work to an SWF it appears normal, I have tried several different combinations on the settings when saving the GIF but everytime I get the same results.
I would only use SWF formats but our website does not support SWF in every section.
