Professional :: Create An Educational App For Masters Project
Apr 7, 2010
'm a complete newbie, trying to create an educational app for a Masters project. The app will have various sections so I started by creating labels for each section along the timeline and set up all the navigational buttons. So far so good.I'm working on creating the content for the first section. I've created a button that leads the user to another "page" in the first section where I've inserted an audio file. I wanted to created a tween to accompany the audio explanation with some moving symbols and at the end two more buttons would appear that give the user 2 choices of where to click.the tween I want to create is about 18 seconds long (432 frames). After this, I will create another similar tween to deal with another audio explanation. This gives me a problem. Tthe timeline only appears to go up to 600 frames - not enough for my needs and who knows how many frames I'll need by the time the app is finished.
1 - Is there a way to extend the timeline beyond 600? (I would have to shift all my other sections along to accommodate my inserted tweens, but that's not the end of the world)
2 - Is this the best way to do things, having super-long motion tweens? I know I could add a video, but what I like about my tween idea is that the user sees stuff appearing as the voice explains and the option buttons only appear at the end of the tween, stopping the user from clicking them before the voice explanation finishes.

I'm trying to make an educational app prototype (I'm new to Flash, this is for a Masters in education) to help students learn IPA symbols (phonetics). I have successfully made a section where the students click on symbols to hear the corresponding audio and listen to explanations.
For the final part of the prototype, I have to create some kind of instructional game. My idea is to have 12 circles, each one playing an audio file of a vowel sound (this I know how to do). The students will have to click the circles to listen and then drag and drop them to the correct IPA symbol. Flash would then give feedback on correct/incorrect answers and a score. Maybe all of this is against the clock, needing a timer.
So, I need to learn drag and drop. What else to I need to learn so that one drop position is considered "correct", the others are considered "incorrect" and a score is given at the end? And maybe a timer?)

I am trying to create a project with multiple pages. I stumbled across a tutorial demonstrating how to load and unload swf's. I used it and it works. way i could specify a btn or mc in the loaded swf that will specify the "click" area where the unload content takes place? Right now if i click anywhere on the loaded swf it unloads (i want that to be specified).
var myLoader:Loader=new Loader ();
page1_mc.addEventListener(MouseEvent.CLICK, page1content);
function page1content(myevent:MouseEvent):void {

The line: Master process not found, or multiple masters
appears in /var/log/messages of a Centos server running FMS 3.5 right around the time Flash videos stop working on a site we built. Oddly, nothing appears in /opt/adobe/fms /logs/ master.xx.log at the corresponding time*. Is there likely to be any more illuminating information somewhere on the server, to help us identify what caused Flash to stop working?

I have been asked to create an interactive flash project where the user would be able to click on a main image and depending on what part of the image they click on, a movie clip plays, then goes back to the main image.
I am sure this is basic, but I have been researching, watching tutorials, etc for a week now and can't seem to get it to work. I am by no means a Flash expert and have really never worked in it. I do more Photoshop and Illustrator-type work. So Actionscript is new to me and really the whole interface is as well.
Would you all be kind enough to help me out? I am going to need some detailed explaination.

Is it always best practice to remove every listener that you create in a project?I thought I had this worked out but all of a sudden I am getting errors by trying to use the removed from stage listener.So there are buttons on the stage and some movieclips that those buttons make visible and here is the code that I am trying to use, but it generates errors on leaving the frame. I think this is the same as what I have been using but somehow it is now not working for me.[code]...

Right now I am creating a game kinda like the helicopter game. I have been trying to decide how make my world. I tryed drawing the entire thing and then just have it play through in a motion tween (classic tween) but that was way to time consuming. Also when you hit the objects in this world you die and its game over just like in the helicopter game.

This is my first time using this forum. I have a question for anyone out there. I am trying to create a dust effect for my project. I have looked everywhere to get an answer on how to even approach it, but no help. The dust effect I want to create is when a piece of board hits the floor, dust flies or goes up and disappears.

I am trying to create a flash presentation project, in which the keyboard arrows navigate between elements on the stage AND once an element (a button) is highlighted (with the stupid rect focus thing) I would like an event to be triggered. the user navigates between elements using the arrow keys and the act of landing on each element triggers an event (loads image, goes to a frame, etc.)

I am trying to create an invisible button to add to my completed project and I have hit a snag because of AS3 which will not let you set actions on a button symbol. So I have tried a trick I was told about and wish to use the addEventListener code to attach an action to my button. My button is saved as a button symbol as well as been given an instance name but I am still getting errors I do not recognize. This is the simple actionscript I am trying to attach to the button:
stop();
//...script for inviso button...\
inv_link.addEventListener(MouseEvent.CLICK, inviso);

Here in Flash CS4 Explorer, I have shapes. It's intuitive that I be able to right-click on Scene1, and be able to Insert Shape. Can't. I go to the frame. Can't. I right-click everywhere. I see 'Create Shape', but everywhere I see it, it's grayed out - won't let me.
How do I create new shapes in the graphics folder in the library of a flash cs4 project?

I'm trying out the FlasBuilder ide with ColdFusion 8 on OS X. When I try to create a new project, I get stuck at the server setup screen that forces you to validate your paths for your ColdFusion root folder and your webroot. Every combination I try says either "LiveCycle Data Services is not installed at the specified location" or "Invalid root. The WEB-INF/flex folder must contain either flex-config.xml or services-config.xml." The flex-config.xml file is sitting in that directory. Is there some trick to getting this to work?

In a rails project how would I create a picture slideshow? It could be generated as flash or use prototype or something else. I just want a series of images (as a sub-part of a web page, not be the whole page) to fade into each other, and to advance manually if clicked. It would be nice if I could do things like slowly zoom into the images. I imagine there must be a plugin or something to handle this?

i'm a newbie using Flash CS4 and AS3. A retired social worker, I need to create a basic Flash drawing tool for an eLearning project to teach students how to draw their family tree.
The drawing tool would allow the students to add multiple circles and squares to symbolize their family members, plus text labels for names, ages, and they would need to be able to draw connecting lines between the circle and square symbols. Finally, in order to continue work on the drawing, over time, they would need to be able to save their drawings to be re-opened and edited (add new symbols, erase incorrect ones, etc.). Once the drawing is completed, they would need to be able to print a copy.
Being a newbie (but I have done some related scripting: JavaScripting-ECMA-262, HTML, CSS), I am not sure if this can be done in AS3, Flash CS4. But, if it is possible, I would like to learn how to create this.

I'm new to Flash authoring, and something seems puzzling. I see that it is possible in Flash to render an animation (project) to AVI or MOV video formats, and it seems to work fine (although you can't choose your AVI codec,
which seems like a trivial feature to put in. Is there a way to render a Flash animation to FLV? I am working on a project that will play FLV video files inside an FLV player object (SWF object). I would like to create FLVs from inside Flash, using the nifty animation tools and whatnot, and have them play in the same manner as the other FLV videos created by other tools (e.g., FinalCut Pro edited video). I realize the FLV is video

I recently discovered the Project panel with the Flash application. I'd like to start using it on a regular basis, but I can't seem to figure out how to do a multi-file search of all the AS files included in a Project. From what I can tell, the search functionality within the Flash app only looks at the current document. Or is there a way to do a global search for a text string within a Project?

My problem is that my old computer *exploded* last week and i was making a project for my dad so I lost my (.fla) file. But, I have an animation of that same project in (.swf) on my USB Key because I've exported it just before my computer crash just to watch what It was looking like. So my question is, is it possible to open my (.swf) in Flash Pro and get all my snippet code back and all my frame back and everything else (like if it was my (.fla) project?)

I'm new to CS5.5 after being away since, I think, Macromedia was around. I just bought CS5.5 soley for creating simple, fun Android apps for my son (animated storybooks etc).
However, I'm constantly changing my phones and we also have a tablet and the wife has a phone with a small resolution.
What I'm wanting to do, is create an app that's at a resolution for my tablet (1024x600), but then also be able to scale it down to my Optimus 3D (800x480) and the Wife's Xperia Mini Pro (640x480)
Now, there will be bitmaps in there, so I didn't want the phone/Air resizing the app to fit the screen and using more ram and cpu than needed so I was wanting to create 2 or 3 versions all at different resolutions.
