Professional :: Interactive / Animated Image Gallery / Help In Flex / Flash CS5
Sep 5, 2010
I'm new to flex/flash cs5, but am an experienced coder, and am trying to help a friend get a site built quickly so they can graduate. They would like their image gallery that displays their portfolio to have:thumbnails floating around slowly and bouncing off of one another - mouse hover would freeze and then resume animation after the mouse leaves - when clicked the thumbnail would grow to the full size image and be displayed in the same window as the floating objects Something similar to whats found at: Flash and Picasa gallery with those other features would be perfect, but without the Google RSS aspect of it. Might anyone know where I could be pointed in the right direction for accomplishing this? Or possibly could be given technical names for the effects I'm trying to implement so I can look them up easier? Perhaps even a link to download something with the floating/bouncing element for the thumbnails, then I could figure out the code for the other effects needed.

I am trying to create an interactive image gallery for use on my GoDaddy.com site. The site is template based and will only accept a single standalone.swf file. As an example GoDaddy shows an image gallery created in Flash Slideshow Maker Pro. However, this is only for a PC platform and I'm on a Mac. I created an interactive image gallery using Jetphoto software. However, the Jetphoto software does not produce a single standalone .swf file. Instead it produces folders containing hi & lo jpgs, an html file, an xml file and a jetphotview.swf file. Does anyone know of a Mac based interactive slideshow program that is easy to use and will create a single .swf file? Or, although I don't know how to use it, I own a full version of Flash. Is there any way to convert the series of Jetphoto files to a single .swf file? When it is opened in Flash the save menus are grayed out. I tried to convert the .swf file back to an .fla file to bring into Flash and that doesn't work either.

I've made a gallery slideshow before but wasn't as intuitive looking back at it now and I want to start fresh on this new project. I would like to convert a jQuery lightbox style gallery into a flash XML based AS3 image gallery with categories. I don't want to code the FLA, I want separate AS files.
This is a school project for my website. I would use jQuery and I have more experience with it but this project needs a flash component. I'm just not sure where to start and looking for some advice on how and where I could find resources. I want it to be minimal as I can make it;
- 8 thumbnails to a "page/section" with more flowed into page 2 or 3 etc. (or a srcoller)
- a few buttons for categories
- images fading in full size with a description when hovered over and a close button
- preloader (simple bar)
Esentially something like this > http:[url].........works which is using http:[url].... for the thumbnails. That might be ambitious but I'd suffice with a simple fade effect.I've downloaded some galleries out there but most of the code is messy or outdated.http:[url]... this is alright, but all the code is done in the FLA. I might break it into AS files but it depends.

I posted to the flash forum but really looking for feedback from flash, flex, AIR users as well.I'm looking for the forums thoughts and advice on which of Adobe's current technology set (CS5) is best suited for creating small interactive applications/packages by users who would not have any background in coding and very little interest in learning coding.
The idea is that users would know basic drag & drop development and maybe extend it to include some basic scripting to wire up elements of it. The ability to develope applications for a range of access points (website, mobile, desktop) would also an added benefit.The over arching idea would be to let the users create some apps/programmes/packages quickly on any topic they like but not bog them down with coding.Which CS5 technologies would be best for that

I have created a character for animation in illustrator and saved each symbol nessesary as a movie clip.After finally coming up with a decent animation everything seemed fine and exporting as a .swf looked great. When trying to export as a .gif however I get a singal non animated image. I've been looking for a simple answer to this problem such as Radtool converting a .swf or.avi to a gif and it give me a file not found error. I've attempted turning all of my symbols into graphics and I get a single image when I try to view it in flash (ctrl + enter). I've tried saving it as a bitmap and batching in photoshop with more error. I've tried going into flashes publish setting and saving an animated gif. Every export format I choose seems to give me a single non animated image except for .swf.

I'm unable to export an animated symbol to image sequence properly because the symbol does not animate.I created the tweens in multiple layers, then cut-pasted all layers to a new symbol.I did this so I could then just do some tween motions on the symbol.The tweening is perfect, but when I export the image sequence, the images do not animate the way it does on the Flash player.All I get is an image sequence with the tweened symbol, but the symbol itself does not animate.how to get the symbol to animate when exporting the image sequence.
Alternatively, is there a way to motion-tween multiple layers simoultaneously? (Layers which are themselves tweened)Any additional info, I'll be checking regularly so I can provide as much description as possible to get this to work.

I've been tasked with recreating the Flash portion of this site in html/java/css:[URL]..
I'm fairly new at javascript but I know a good amount of html and css.Trying to figure out where to start. As you can tell from the flash section, this isn't a standard gallery or slider setup. The nav is overlayed on top of the slideshow and has rollover states.[URL]..
But I'm not sure how to overlay the nav controls on top of the content. Plus it wouldn't provide a decent image transition.It seems like this would be possible to recreate in a non-flash environment, I'm just not sure where to start.

I've got this interactive storybook that loads each page from separate swf files into a movie clip. The movie clip is masked, and with every turn of the page, the mask changes shape so it looks like the pages are covering up the content. Once the page turn is complete, we're supposed to be left with two fresh pages so we can load more content. Here's my dilemma: It seems the movieclip unloads itself when the mask enters a new keyframe. I don't know how to work around this. I've tried making a separate movie clip out of the mask, and animating it on its own timeline, but that hasn't worked. Nothing else reacts this way to a moving mask.
Here's what I'm talking about: [URL]
And the source: [URL]
And the swf loaded into the movie clip: [URL]

I need to make a interactive animated character, that would react to clicks in certain places, but instead of bitmap/vector animations, there would be video clips embeded in the swf. The video clips would be played in various combinations.Let me give you a example.
Start: A looped video of a person idling.
Start/hotspot1: The looping video fades-out, and a video of a person jumping up fades-in, plays, then fades-out back to the loop.
I have to embed the videos, so that there won't be any buffering. I tryed to embed the video, and use commands like gotoAndPlay(), gotoAndStop(), play(), stop(), but if I have more than one embeded video I start having problems controlling the clips.Here's one of my unsuccessfull attempts:
Clicking on the HS1, should fade-out VIDEO1, fade-in VIDEO2/play it/fade-out, and fade-in VIDEO1 again.

Am I completely hallucinating or what ? That's several years I'm working with Flash, and today, i want to do the simplest animation ever, and it just doesn't work....I want to mask an animated clip with an animated mask (a shape animation), but every time the mask arrives at a keyframe, the clip restarts to the frame 1 !!I added a piece of code to see at which keyframe it is blocked, and at every mask keyframe, the code says 'TypeError: Error #1009: null property..

Please help! I'm designing an HTML website and added an animated Flash image using the object tag. I was handcoding on Dreamweaver and before I saved it I got this message asking me if the code should be modified for compatibility with IE8.
So I just clicked on 'Yes' and a 'script' folder was generated.
The Flash image appears on Firefox 3.5 but comes up with the dreaded red 'x' on IE8.

The XML photogallery is really a nice one. How to make the gallery with out buttons (Previous and Next) i.e. if I want the images to load from xml to flash and stay for 4 seconds and fade out giving way to next image, and the whole process loops indefinitely automatically. I want the whole thing to be non- interactive.

I need a simple image gallery to load when you click a button. I've tried shadowbox but have had absolutely zero luck. I'm not sure how to load it from a flash file and I know there is work that has to be done outside of flash like in the root folder. All I need is for a simple image gallery, nothing fancy, to open when I hit a button. how to use shadowbox in lamens terms or knows how to easily script a gallery that would be amazing.

I'm trying to put an animated gif behind a flash banner when people who don't have flash compatible browsers (iPhone, etc...) come to our website they don't see a big space with nothing there.
I tried making the gif a background for the cell that the flash movie is in, but I can see portions of the animated gif behind the flash movie, even if I set them to the same dimensions.

CS4, AS3.Windows XP SP3.I've created a pretty simple flash animation with some text that fades in and moves around a bit. Nothing fancy. It runs just fine both locally and on my client's site. I need to turn it into an animated gif so that non-flash viewers will see the animation. But I can't seem to get it to come out right. It needs to have a transparent background and it needs to run just once. Like I said, all that runs fine as an SWF.
When I choose the export option in the file menu (export movie as gif), it does export and I can run the gif but the background is definitely not transparent and the thing loops continuously. Yes, I've checked the "transparent" checkbox and also set the repetitions to 1. Neither of those settings do anything.I also tried "publishing" the gif. That's even worse. The resultant animation doesn't even resemble my SWF. It's a blocky mess when it runs. It does appear to have a transparent background but it loops over and over and again it's a blocky mess (not sure how else to explain that).
The whole thing is just about 10 layers of different lines of text that are tweened in various ways to get the effect I need.You can see the animation on the right hand side of this page: www.ssrights.com. It's the one that says "FREE! Consultation..."
PS: The gif is not in place. I currently have it set to just show a static image if someone does not have flash.
