I am looking for a tutorial that will show me how to create an online 'design & print' service. ie the app has say 3 text areas / 3 image areas / drawings areas and a seperate controls to rotate the text and images etc. I then need to export the data as a vector for digital printing.

i'm trying to create an online brochure that users design with products/images they've selected. users will be able to drag a thumbnail to a pre-designed area, then swap them around to their liking. currently i'm in the beginning stages and just learning the power of actionscript.
i've attached two sample .fla files i've been working with. the first sample i have two thumbnails drag to a target and enlarge to a defined size. the second sample i used a tutorial from flashkit --- drag drop swap. it works but the as is not up-to-date. i'm trying to incorporate the two ideas together but get bizarre effects. most of the examples i find are close but no cigar.
I have a legal document that I need to include in my movie, and it needs a link to popup for printing. What is the best way to do this. I converted the .doc to a pdf, and opened in AI and converted to a SWF if that helps. Isis required to use Java for this type of action?
View 7 Repliesam building a site in DW CS4. The site is for a custom nameplate service; once they choose a design and colorway, I'd like to allow customers to preview their name on the sign with, say, 6 different font options to choose from. I've never done any kind of interactive Flash--other than simple mouse actions, so I am at a total loss as to where to get started. Has anybody seen a template that might work?
View 3 RepliesI am trying to create a print button on the last frame that will allow the user to print just that frame. I've tried using the printjob object, but all that I can get to happen is print a blank sheet of paper. Here is the code that I have so far:
function printScore(event:MouseEvent):void
{
var printJob:PrintJob = new PrintJob();

View 1 RepliesI make a print button, use printJob class to print a movieclip, the format is perfect when just test movie in flash, I mean I print it out as a pdf file. But when I load this application online, it still can print, but some cells' line disappear, some are still there. So is there a way to keep this format? I am thinking about to convert the movieclip to a pdf file, then print.

Anyone can lead me to create a similar website like above?I tried Papervision 3D ..but i just don't get how to do it.
This may seem like a noobish question (and it is) but I have created some AS code to help assist in a project of mine in a level design class to create a mock interface for a game. It works fine on the first screen but once you hit any button and go to the next and then try to go back, the code breaks and I am not sure why. Ive tried multiple things to get it to work but nothing seems to help. The code I am using is
ActionScript Code:
storybtn.addEventListener(MouseEvent.CLICK, start1);
function start1(MouseEvent){
gotoAndPlay(2);
}

I'm going wrong with this? I'm trying to create a print button and a sprite, but nothing is showing up when I publish.n what I'm missing? Basically what I'm trying to do is create a coupon that can then be printed.

var printContent:Sprite = new Sprite();
var printBtn:PrintBtn;

I need to call an HTTP service using Flex that has variable arguments. I'm using Flash Builder 4 (Gumbo) to create the service definition, but there's no UI for variable arguments, and the subclass of HTTPServiceWrapper that it creates doesn't seem to support it.

View 3 RepliesI am doing some academic research on Flash and I would like to find what is Flash the most used for, or what it is the best at, in designing web sites. I would need some quantitative figures, charts, stats to illustrate this research. I have found many websites presenting the Flash player penetration but I am looking at the actual use of Flash (in video, animation, User Interaction, ...). For example, "96% of the video on the web is displayed with Flash (3% JS, 1% HTML5 video tag, ...)" ; or "vector graphics are mostly created with Flash, rather with SVG or JS".
View 7 RepliesI'm trying to put together a Product Features Application, which allows visitors to our Website to view what their product will look like with add-on products via a simple checklist, and image layering platform. So essentially:
- Visitor see's the main Product (Fireplace) on Website Page- Visitor sees three Lists containing Checkboxes below the main image- Visitor clicks one checkbox from each list, and sees that ADD-ON product added to the main image above (so that they can view what the product will look like). I'm using CS4, and I'm slightly new to Flash.
I am a 3D Designer and I also want to learn Flash. give me some links or books because I want to learn that code , which is behind the design. I don't know the terms, I think is actionscripting and I would like to learn from start . How to combine code with design. I can follow some tutorials and copy the code from those tutorials but like this I will never learn to make what I want.
View 1 RepliesIs there a better way than in Flash? It would be a test of 50 multiple-choice and true-false questions, which would follow 300-400 PowerPoint slides. The slides could be jpg's loaded via xml or even put right into the fla/swf. The slides could also be on another part of the site and just the test would be in Flash.

I somehow need the actionscript in my swf to recognise what the date is and then go to a certain frame within my movie.I'm hoping you can somehow get actionscript to recognise the local date on the users computer and if it's a particular date, to gotoAndStop at a certain point within the timeline.
View 4 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 trying to learn Flash Professional from the CS5 Design Premium programs. I have the Adobe CS5 Design Premium Digital Classroom to go along with the programs. One of the classroom projects is to add TLF text to your graphics. But it doesn't work. I can get the Classic Text to work but this is no use to other lessons when most refer to the TLF text. Even one lesson file you open has the completed work that you are to refer to and the text is not showing up in it. I have Windows 7, Flashplayer 10, and ActionScript 3.0.
View 6 RepliesI've recently picked up the opportunity to develop a simple little application for a company that makes cupcake wedding cakes. They want to be able to take a laptop to a client and sit with them to design the look of the cakes - colour, topping, etc. End result is a saved written preference, along with an image of their design. I've assumed Flash is the best bet for something like this. Although I've dabbled in Flash and have experience in coding, I've yet to pick it up fully. The version I have is Flash MX. I've assumed I could create a movieclip representing a single cake, that is then replicated over the stack of cakes? A simple set of options on a side panel would let the user pick colour, amount, etc. Firstly, will Flash (MX) let me save out a 'screengrab' of the movie as something that could then be saved to, say, a JPG? And I assume that writing the variable choices to something like a text file would be no problem..
View 2 RepliesIs there a possible issue in the way the button is made not coded? I am using Flash CS4. My buttons seem not to work. I do not think issue is in the action script (I am scripting in 3.0). Here is the way I make the button. I add a movie clip on the stage on the over state ( so if you were to double click on that movie clip a new time line would open), at the end of that movie clip there is a simple stop(); code on its own line. I do not add extra frame on the over state. Then I assign the code to the button and of course cross reference its name in the properties and everything is matching up. Just in case here is my code:

My flash design crashes! I published everytime I finished few steps. First few publications in html/ swf were okay, but after a few new steps the things all went wrong: the button went missing, the whole did not stop at frame1 as in my action script, some of the images went missing. I then deleted new steps hoping to get the thing back to normal, but it remained. After every futile effort I did (restarted pc, republished, saved as...), I suspected that there are BUGS whether in flash or in my pc, I did an experiment by simply creating a new layer and inserting an image in the layer, I published, and this time all the images has gone!
View 1 RepliesI'm not creating a application to create a business card. I'm creating a static design which I'll probably export as an image and take to a printer. I just feel most comfortable using Flash for this at this point.The design looks good in Flash CS5 but when I export it, it's too small.I measured a physical card as 87mm x 49mm so I made the stage that size, using millimeters.
I exported the design as a PNG, printed it, and it comes out as 66mm x 37mm - the correct proportions but it's about 75% of the size I want! I tried publishing the design and opened the HTML in a browser but it still comes out looking small.
I am new to Flash, and am working on developing an iOS app.I have my first basic app running.My question is, how do I change the style of my TextInput at design time?I see how to do it in code, but I am hoping that I wont have to have a bunch of extra code, justto set the styles of the inputs.
View 1 RepliesI am experiencing a strange problem when I want to bind a service to a button or something else:
[Code]...
I can add the services to the Data Services panel but I have two strange things:
1) when I want to configure the return type he doesn't let me create a new ValueObject type, I only get the bottom datagrid which states: Properties returned by the operation: Property: country_Id, provence_Id, city_Id, id_cdpc, district_Id with the related values on the right side. Why can't I create a new data type on the top?
2) When I accept this and want to add the service call to a button (drag&drop) I get the following error: Error occurred while generating code. Make sure that there are no compiler eroors and try again after reopening the file. Componentn type services.cdpc.CDPC not found... (ps: When I perform a Test Operation everything seems to be ok, I get the expected output values)
I was wondering is it possible to create a simple flash file that allows users to make their own spider diagram and then print it.
Is it just a matter of letting them create their own boxes and labeling them?
I have a print button with this code in it:
Code:
var pj:PrintJob = new PrintJob();
var printOptions:PrintJobOptions = new PrintJobOptions();
