Professional :: Implementing A Scrolling Banner?
Mar 3, 2010
I'm pretty new to Flash, and having a few problems with a website I've had to design for my college ICT course.I built the site entirely in Flash, which went perfectly, then went on to build a scrolling image gallery banner for use on a gallery page of the site (assuming that it would be an easy task to chop the banner into the website).When I've tried importing the file to the stage/library it leaves all the images behind (as they are in the library of the first file) as well as the actionscript required to call the images; leaving me with just a new, blank layer.I've also tried copying the actionscript code into the website document and transferring the images from the gallery library to the website library, however, the gallery is written so that the stage is used in its entirety to show only a certain amount of images, meaning that the proportions of the banner are all wrong on the website file.Is there any way to integrate the flash file for the gallery into a confined area of the stage in the website document, or am I going to have to alter my designs so that the gallery goes entirely across the page (put up and shut up style).
Attatched are download links to the two files in question, sorry if they're a little on the large side.

I built a quick and dirty site header banner, with text masking a scrolling background of several images. The text is the mask, so the images show up inside the text. Viewing it works in Flash CS3, but when I publish it, I see the images scrolling from right to left, but they are not masked.

I am coding an irc client in flash and am kind of stuck figuring out how to deal with the text overflow. for example, how do i know that there is one line overflowed in the text field? i would code the scrolling bar myself once I know how to find out how many lines are actually overflowed.

I want to replace the cloud banner with a series of pictures of equal height, but each picture needs to link to a webpage when clicked upon.
Can this be done? I do not need to know all the details of the "how to"
So:
1. can this banner contain pictures that contain hyperlinks?
2. if yes, can you give me some hints on how to accomplish this?

I need to create a Flash banner. Fairly straight-forward in terms of looks - a long list of services that scrolls from right to left and then loops continuously.
I'm using Flash MX 2004. So far I've created the text - it comes on from the right and leaves on the left. The problem I've got however is how to make this a continuous, seamless loop. When it goes off on the left I can't figure out how to make it come back on from the right.

I am trying to make a scrolling banner. I have succeeded so far in making it scroll from right to left and it loops. However my problem is this - I need for the looping to start when the graphic is at position X (x being a frame number).

working on an internal web project and the project sponsor really wants the home page to have an "iphone" style draggable scrolling content.the only place i have seen an example of it is here:URL...but i have no idea how i'd go about making it!Have dabbled in flash over the years, and have a good understanding of AS2, and basic AS3 - with some serious research and practice i could probably make this, but there are major time constraints on the project so it would be great if someone has a similar script to share please!There is budget to pay so it doesn't have to be a free script!

I have this banner that needs to have a several rows worth of paragraph text animate horizontally through it. Ideally, the text should also be possible to update from outside of flash. As for the scrolling text, working with that much text as one long row of letters doesn't seem feasible, so I'm wondering is there a standard way in Flash CS5 of working with large amounts of animated text? Not the user editable kind like text fields and such, but presentational text.
Obviously it's not efficient to have one long string of text that extends several screens beyond the display, as is the case now. Editing just one letter can take several seconds of scrolling as the string is currently over 3000 px wide, and it's not even all the text that's going to be in the final animation. It'd be great if it was possible to type that text through some web based cms, and have it automatically transferred to the Flash banner,

I want to incorporate a scrolling image banner into my website, and found a great tutorial on youtube which works well.I can't post a link unfortunately.It is a pretty basic image scroller that has a series of images scrolling across the screen in an infinite loop. Direction is controlled by mouse position (extreme left or right), and it will stop when the mouse is positioned over an image in the center area.Here's the code:
var myVar:Boolean;
this.addEventListener(Event.ENTER_FRAME, onEnterFrame);
function onEnterFrame(e:Event) :void[code]....
After trying to figure this out through forums such as this for days, it seems that my answer is to use XML (which I do not know, and which I think would require completely starting over).Is there any way to do this in AS3?
Again, I'm a novice user, but understand the basic animation tools of flash to feel comfortable using it as the platform to make this work. I'd like to be able to switch out images/links as necessary, and feel good about my ability to use flash to do that.

I am trying to make a scrolling banner like the html <marquee> tag that loads text from a .txt file. Here is what I have so far:
Frame1
Code:
var formatObj = new TextFormat();
formatObj.size = 15;
formatObj.color = 0;
formatObj.font = "Comic Sans MS";
[code].....
For some reason it only works by using the stop(); command. The problem is that this causes the animation not to automatically start when placed into an html page. The result I want is for the text to automatically begin to scroll.

I have made a flash site using CS3.I bought a preloader online but cant get it to work (not getting any responce from the site where I bought it). It should be straight forward. Copying the loader movieclip to the first frame in my timeline and so on. Gon through the instructions several times and is pretty sure I´m not missing anything.Anyway, when publishong I get the following error message:[code]Warning: 1058: Migration issue: The property _root is no longer supported.This property has been removed. The closest equivalent is the Stage, which serves as the root of the ActionScript 3.0 display list..I do believe the actionscript used in the preloader is v.2 and the project is made in AS3.

I have a banner ad that cycles back and forth between two ads, and am trying to set it up so that when the first ad is up (5 seconds or so) and the viewer clicks on it, it goes to one URL, and when it changes to the second ad and the viewer clicks, it takes them to a different URL.

I'm trying to use a fla as a banner on my site. So far the best method I have is: export fla from flash as quicktime mov THEN use media encoder to convert mov to flv THEN insert the flv onto my site with dreamweaver. This works for me except when I try to view the site on an ipad, the animation doesn't run because flash player has to be loaded and that's not possible on an ipad.How can I make this banner viewable to someone on an Ipad as well as a regular PC?I'm thinking by somehow uploading the mov to the site (which I don't know how to do yet) and then having some kind of code or something that makes the mov play for ipad and the flv play for everyone else.

I have a banner that I'm creating, it has 5 images that rotate via motion tweening. I've created an invisibile button (and also attempted to create multiple buttons) so that when you click on a specific image it will bring you to that URL. So far I have only gotten it to work for the final URL. No matter which image I click on, it only brings up that last URL. Here is my code:
btn1.addEventListener(MouseEvent.CLICK, buttonClickHandler1);function buttonClickHandler1(event:MouseEvent):void { navigateToURL(new URLRequest("http://www.google.com"));}

I am posting this because I purchased a package on FlashComponents.net, and spent 167 dollars on a set of flash components that were suppose to be easy to install and highly customizable. I messaged the creater of this package, snowcat, but he does not reply to my inquiries on why it does not work.
What I thought might be wrong was what I changed in the xml file, so I uploaded the entire folder from stock. the index.html page worked, however as soon as i copied the source code into my page I wanted to to actually play in. It does not even show, when I right-click the area in which it is suppose to be it says "Movie not loaded...".
I literally copied and pasted, there were no changes to the code whatsoever from the working one. After that I continued to try to arrange it the way I wanted it to be anyways, storing the source files in a folder of the site rather than having it in the root of the file. This folder is "index_banner" The developer DID have a posting about that issue on his website which I read four times to make sure that somehow that was not the culprit either.
Below is the code for the page; I am hoping I inadvertantly messed something up because then my 167 dollars is not wasted. But with the lack of support for a supposed "well documented" package it is a little disheartening.

I need to build something like a banner that shows two things. One is a picture coming in from the left or right side of the screen. The second is related text coming in from the left or right on the screen. I need to have it all controlled by an XML file that lets me specify the picture, direction the picture is coming from, text, and direction the text is coming in from.

I've a small problem with a banner. There's a part of text (made into a symbol) that has to jump out, so I made it 150% and the text around it moves away and then comes back. But the part that has to grow, does this in shocks. Does enyone now a way to prevend or mask this, so the client can be happy?

I exported a swf file of my animated Flash banner, and my one of my images (a PNF file I imported into my Library, and drug to my Stage) is larger than the stage area. When I expand the window of Flash Player of my swf file, I see the boundary area of my banner, but the rest of my image is visable outside of the banner area.Imagine just the tip of an iceberg is what I want within my banner, but the ENTIRE iceberg is visale beyond the set size of my stage...that's the best way I can explain it. Is this something to do with PNG files in Flash

I have created a basic animation in Flash CS5 and I need to add a clickable URL link to it. I've tried a few tutorials that looked promising, but none of them solved my problem. I've tried a number of things including converting parts or all of the images to simple buttons or movies and linking them that way as well as typing in code for ActionScript 2 and 3, none of which were successful. The animation plays correctly when viewed in my browser, but when I click on it, the link does not work. I would prefer that the entire banner be clickable to take viewers to the linked website rather than using hyperlinked text. Also, when I open the Code Snippets window, it is empty, no matter what image or frame I've selected. Do I need to import code snippets from somewhere or am I simply going about things the wrong way?
