I am learning flash and recently bought a flash template so I could see how it was structured etc. The vertical menu on the flash template plays fine when ran locally but when I upload it to the web the text on the vertical menu doesnt all show (i.e. the text is half cut off).

View 2 RepliesI have faced a problem in Adobe Flash CS4. I have created a simple text box and set it to a vertical direction, I've rotated it to 90 degrees. It looks good in the FLA file but when I convert to SWF, the text box simply disappears. Other components of my animation remain as I have designed them.
View 1 RepliesI developed something in flex. It works great on FF and Safari. But on IE the "swf area" remains blank until mouse moves over it. I am embedding it like that:
<object height="100%" width="100%" id="myApp">
<param value="example.swf" name="movie"/>
<param value="high" name="quality"/>

i installed a few components (gaia framework, flash eff 2 demo and a rain drop water effect) to use in Flash.
in the Adobe Extension Manager they are all enabled , however, i dont see anything in Window -> Other Panels neither in the Components panel.
I am having a problem with my text alignment and I can't figure out a way to correct this. Unfortunately, I'm using a mac with CS3 and a Windows computer with CS4, so it could either be an OS difference, a version difference, or a software bug which I can't figure out.
Update: I downloaded a trial CS4 and the problem persists. This seems to be a mac issue. For some reason, the text on my Mac with CS3 are not in the vertical center of the text fields. This causes a problem with my "align vertical centers" alignments, meaning I've had to do the alignment by hand to get it to look right. When I moved my file to my laptop to keep working on my project at home, I noticed that the text alignment was correct on my laptop, causing all of the text placement throughout my document to be off. This means that I can only work on the one computer and can't bring the project home to work through the weekends. I have made an image showing the difference of how the text is aligned on the two versions, and a sample of how it affects my project when i bring it between computers.
I made the file on the mac (CS3) first, and so the alignment is designed to look correct on there. When i bring it to the PC (CS4) the text shifts down, placing it back in the center of the text boxes and ruining the alignment. When I publish the file it keeps the formatting of each system. IE - publishing on the mac makes the final product look like it does on the mac, and publishing on the windows computer makes it look like it looks on the windows computer. The file published from the mac has the mac alignment on both computers, and the file published from the pc has the alignment of the pc on both computers.
Just to clarify, the way flash handles text fields on windows / cs4 is how I imagine it should be. I made the file on mac/CS3 however, and so when i said "ruins the alignment" I should have said "fixes the alignment problem, but breaks my alignment which was made to compensate for the problem I was experiencing."
suppose i receive some data from php separated by commas. Like:a, b, new, data...these will be in a variable say "files". Now, i receive the var and i have to show the names of the files in a vertical list. Like:
a
b
new
data
And also they will be a link to some php file or any such thing. how to do this?
I am pretty new to Flash and XML and I am having a problem mapping to the correct nodes. I have built a vertical menu using one of Senoculors tutorials, which I have had to adapt a bit to make it fit in with my xml. The problem is I need to be able to map to a different set of nodes to the ones in the tutorial. I have posted my menu so that you can see what I mean.
View 2 RepliesIm trying to make a Vertical Scaling menu. So when you roll over a text item it goes from a .5 scale to a 1. scale and all the other text items below will move down accordingly to make room for the scale.

View 3 RepliesI've been having a spot of trouble working with this menu. My goal is to create this rotating menu with buttons that expand another movieclip with text/detailed information when you roll over it. What I'm having trouble with is making it usable, since it also needs to slow down/stop the frames of both movieclip's animations as the user approached/rolled over the button.I've searched for a couple of tutorials, but I don't understand them well enough to really manipulate the code for my uses. Especially since I seem to mostly find 3D Carousel tutorials that seem to be a little different

View 2 RepliesI have a command script (framesSelected.jsfl - the code isbelow) which outputs information about frames selected to theoutput panel, which I find very useful. With CS4 (Windows XP), whenI place the jsfl file in the (suggested in the manual) folder(C:Program FilesAdobeAdobe Flash CS4enConfigurationCommands)I expect it to show in the command menu as it did in CS3. Itdoesn't. Can anybody tell me why, and what I must do now to get itto show? (script follows)
var current_tl = fl.getDocumentDOM().getTimeline();
var selectedFrames = current_tl.getSelectedFrames();

View 4 RepliesCoworker is developing a Flash project and has a small dynamic text field inside a movieclip. Imagine the text field being 200 pixels wide by 50 high, and sitting at the top of the canvas. As she moves her mouse around the LOWER part of the canvas, directly 'under' the text field, her cursor changes from the standard arrow, to the vertical bar (that is used for text selection). This is inexplicable and odd and is also interfering with her ability to do other things in the project. Has anyone seen this behavior? She has turned off 'Selectable' for the text field but that doesn't help things.

This is kirups great tutorial to make a vertical gallery along with a slide show. Normally this is fine but I find one problem here. When I clicked any thumbnail it will load the respective big image but the slide show portion is disturbed and it is not maintaining the correct numbering after clicking thumbnails.
What I mean to say if I clicked No Six thumbnail it will load No Six big image and we hope that after that it will load No Seven, No Eight and so on as a part of Slide Show, but that does not happen all time there is some skipping of numbers in the big images after clicking the thumbnails.
I posted the Code below. make the No sequence to big image proper after clicking any of the thumbnails.
Code:
stop();
delay = 5000;
function loadXML(loaded) {
if (loaded) {

i found i can get vertical dynamic text block by setting to vertical and then to dynamic. But, then it ends up being horizontal, and if inside a clip, only the letters over another item in clip show. Like veritcal text on a vertical bar gives only the 1 or 2 letters that fit across bar, rest truncated. i've tried embedding text to get this far, but still doesn't work 'all the way' i see online they talk about all scripting for dynamic, vertical text; is that necessary, or am i missing something??
View 1 RepliesI'm in the midst of creating an extremely rudimentary game show display. It will essentially function like the big screen in Jeopardy.
I want to be able to have this operate in four stages. First stage: One frame will have all the question categories and values laid out in a grid. Second stage: I will click on a category and have it link to a frame that displays a question. Third stage: Once my participant answers the question, I will click once more and be linked to a frame that has the answer. Fourth stage: I click a link back to my initial grid of questions, but the category I just went through is now a different colour/blacked out/faded
I can do steps 1-3 quite easily, I just don't know how to make step four work. Just to clarify, say all the questions are in blue and I click "History for 200". I want to be able to go through, answer that question, come back to the grid, and have "History for 200" now be in red (or something). This would have to work for multiple questions, as it should show the participants which questions have already been asked.
I'm a quick learner and am just looking for the actionscript or whatever that requires this. My question wasn't really short enough for searches of Google and this forum to yield anything.
