I'm writing a private website.I want to add an animation of a paper (which moves a bit in its conrners).I paln the user to add some text in the text area in that animated paper.My program will read the text and save it.The next time the user comes I'll show him this animated paper with the text he wrote.
1) As a newbie to animation. Should I use flasf? Is there a nice freeware and simple alternative? I saw this site but thought maybe someone can tell from his own experience
2) How can I include text area in an animated paper?
3) How can fill animated paper with the saved data later on ?
I'm building a website and decided I was going to work with a pre-built web template. Problem is, as I painfully found out, my host wants the file structure of the site a very certain way (html pages in the root directory, media-files folder, image-files folder, support-files folder following that). I had to go through the template and recode a good bit of it myself (only knowing HTML, while the site is written in HTML, CSS, Java, and Flash). I've gotten the vast majority of the site working now.. on my computer at least.
I went through the flash file and corrected the directories so it could find the background pictures it needs and saved the file. Now, when I hit CTRL+Enter in CS4, the preview comes up correction and works flawlessly. However, when I bring the file up in firefox, the flash animation is STILL missing the background images. Also, I need to move a related file to the flash animation into another folder, but when I do that the text disappears, even after correcting the directory in flash.
The template I'm working with can be found here : Click. The flash animation in question is on the mid-left side of that page, where you can click the arrow to proceed through 4 different slides. Also having problems with the logo of the site, where the text will disappear if I move the related file I was talking about (A text file).
Here are pictures of the problem:
No background: Click
No Background/No text (moved text file, corrected directory): Click
What I see in Flash CS4: Click
I've also tested the site in Internet Explorer, same problem. I'm guessing there's probably a simple fix for this, but being unfamiliar with flash I just don't know it...
Question: i have to make an animated header for the web site. several seconds it's going on and is stoped with action script command stop(); but i need one elenment inside flash-header continue animating like here: [URL] a rolling logo in upper left corner of header.

View 1 RepliesI have a certain set of motion twains that I've successfuly completed, they constantly loop right now (default), and is saved in the SWF file.I'd like to take that finished looping animation, and insert it within another animation (a) that can be played with a play button, and stopped/resetted with a stop button.How do I insert the completed looping animation into the main animation? And is there something special I have to do in the actionscript of the start and stop buttons so that the "inner" looping animation will start and stop with the "outer" main animation?
View 1 Repliesam i publishing the movie incorrectly? It works great when I preview the flash file (cntrl+enter), but after I publish it and insert it into the html (in dreamweaver), the file shows up and animates perfectly, but when clicked, no link... It doesn't do anything
View 3 Replies i'm wanting to create a flash animation and embed it into my website.i used to do this with a gif image within a DIV and make the position of the DIV vary via javascript so that the image moved across the screen. i'm looking now for a more professional touch via Flash.
A gif's background is transparent so as it moves over differen't areas of the webpage it shows not the bounding rectangle but
only the character image itself. Is this possible via flash - or will flash always be a boxed image that is moved?
Is there a way to display a website [URL] inside your Flash website?

View 6 RepliesI'm trying to adapt a tutorial I found on this website entitled Complex Button Rollover - Rollout Effects The effect I am trying to achieve is instead of linking the animation to a website I wan't to be able to navigate to another scene. The bit of the actions I've been changing in the downloaded fla is this,
Code:
this.onRelease = function(){ getURL("http://www.kirupa.com","_blank"); }
To this,
Code:
this.onRelease = function(){
gotoAndStop("Scene 2", 1);
}
But this doesn't seem to work when I click it just seems to refresh the animation. I have got Stop(); at the beginning of both scenes.
I'm losing my mind. I have the script uploaded, the swf, flv and the html code and nothing is showing up on the website. I'm sure it's something silly: http://67.199.12.209/newsite/

View 14 RepliesI am trying to put a flash background on my website that will loop over and over.I created the file in after effects but understand that it is best to export to flash to keep file size down.I have tried exporting from after affects using F4L, FLV, and XFL and always seem to get a file size of 2-4 MB.My video is only 8 seconds long and I exported at half resolution so I am unsure why it is so largeWhen I import F4L and FLV to flash and then export as an SWF file, the file does not work on my website(nothing shows). It seems to only work when I import as an XFL and then export as an SWF.Also, how do I get the video to loop? Do I do this in flash or in the object tags in my website

View 8 RepliesI have created a preloader which works fine when I test it.How do I go about adding it to the start of a website/animation?
View 1 RepliesI am using Flash 8 and would like to create an animation for my future website.What I would like to do is the following:
I want to create an animated menu looking similar to the attached flash animation. The menu buttons will be a variety of 11 images arranged in an oval circle with the website logo located in the center of this oval circle. The mentioned oval circle should spin either left or right depending on which side of the animation the mouse pointer is located and stop if the mouse pointer is in the center/middle of the animation.
As the images move to the front (during the circular but slightly tilted motion) they should have a similar zoom in effect like the one in the attached animation and zoom out again when moving back into the background.
I am sure that this kind of animation is very simple when using Action Script but I am not such an advanced user to know what code I would need to write.
I want to embed a website within my flash movie, is this possible?I want it to be like a screenshot of the site but actually calling the URL, just like an iFrame really, but in a flash movie.
View 3 RepliesI am currently trying to make a Flash website for my cousin's business, and his website should feature a portfolio gallery to display the work he has done (He is a contractor). I am trying to use the SlideshowPro plug-in which generates a very nice-looking Flash gallery that is about 50 times nicer than the one he is using on his website at the moment. One of the big things I like about SSP is that it offers a full-screen picture viewing mode, which would allow potential customers of his to see work he has done better than they are currently seeing.
However, whenever I publish the website to test it and make sure everything is working okay, I go to the Portfolio page and test SSP in full screen. Once I come back from full screen, the gallery remains on top of the screen on every other page of the website. The audio also does this (It can play audio in the background while looking through the galleries you set up). Since I am somewhat new to Flash, I am not sure why it is doing this. Perhaps someone else has encountered this and has a fix or workaround that I could use.

Have a look at this: [URL] and then this: [URL]. Notice how it doesn't take any time to load on first URL, but on the second URL, it takes A LOT of time for the flash swf (header) to appear. Even when you change pages, it doesn't seem to get cached.

View 7 RepliesI am looking to design and add an interactive flash part to our company's website. Since we do a lot of business planning and consulting, we have come up with a great idea, but unfortunately, none of us really know how to create it. Basically from what I have researched, I will need to incorporate animated buttons in a flash movie. I have attached a quick sketch of what the website will look like. The part I need to work with is the middle section with the boxes.
What I need to do is this:
The 5 gray boxes need to be buttons that link to their related pages. When the page loads, I want the animation to draw the first box, create the line, draw the second box, draw the next line, etc. until all the boxes and lines are drawn. This is a process map and since we do a lot of these for our work, we thought it would be nice for us to incorporate this into our website. Furthermore, it would be ideal if these boxes were links to different pages on the site as well.
So my question is this:
-What do I need to create in order to have this animation work
-Where is a good place to start looking in regards to creating something like this
-Is this even possible
I am taking a beginners Flash course and our final project is to create a movie/website in Flash. 100% Flash based. In a previous course, I made an HTML site. For this project, I am recreating that website in Flash. But what should the stage size be? That is where I am stuck. I don't know what a normal Flash site size should be to fit the screen like a normal HTML site.I already know to havethe dimentions set to 100% and 100%. But for some reason, when I use Control > Test movie, it never seems to fit right. It's either crunched together to much or spread out to far to where the header and footer are partially off the screen. I've seen posts on the web from years ago that said 950x550 is the size needed. Is that still the case? Because it just doesn't look right. With HTML the page height would adjust to the content and it would automatically scroll if needed. But Flash doesn't seem to do that. It seems that you are stuck with 1 size and you have to work around it.
View 1 RepliesTracking software requires that you insert their code into the page you want to track (I'm using StatCounter). I installed a Flash website template and it just has one .html file where I can insert the code. That tracks visits to the first page with no problem but if a visitor clicks on different pages of the site, it doesn't get tracked. Does anyone know how and where to add code so that each page of the Flash site can be tracked?
Note, in my template a part of each page is found in different symbols. For example, the first column of every page is located in a symbol called PAGES1 and the second column of every page is located in a symbol called PAGES2, and the third column located in PAGES3. Different layers within each symbol correspond to the different pages. So I'm at a loss of how I could get this tracking code to be able to track each page visit, since each page shares a symbol with another page.
I've created a flash website at 960X600 pixels.I have a JPG image that I want to use a BG to fill the browser page.I can edit the index.html file. Should it be inserted there? the name of the BG is bg.jpg
