I'm trying out a page-flip program that tells me to create the pages as jpegs within a folder named "pages" in the Library. When I try to run it, it tells me it can't find the jpegs. I can get it to work locally by including the full URL (i.e., "...My Documentsedinnerpartiesimagesp3-large.jpg), but I know this isn't embedded in the swf file.

View 7 RepliesI 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 {

View 5 RepliesI would like to know how to make flash frames appear in the Library as pages.
View 2 RepliesIn the attached .fla file the library contains a "pages" folder, which contains 5 pages and "all pages" (plus 2 pages I duplicated). When right clicking on "all pages" then "edit", there are 6 frames (5 layers) in the timeline, which represent the pages (but not the duplicated pages). In short, I can "duplicate" pages in the library, but they don't appear in the timeline. I want to duplicate some of the pages in the library and edit them individually to my satisfaction, then I want text (e.g "read more...") to go the the pages when the text is clicked.
I want to make the "duplicated" pages appear in the timeline and be able to navigate to them with text from other pages. As you will also note, "page 3" is not in the library, but it is in the timeline (frame 3), as it appear to be reserved for use by Flashmo. I would also like to be able to edit that page and visibly see it in the library.

I have created a website with one flash animation banner.The banner .swf has 5 menus. Each menu goes to different movieclips inside the .swf file. and at the same time i want to load the corresponding html file when i click the menu button and place the html content into the bottom area of the main html page without refreshing the html page.
View 2 RepliesI am planning to create a photo/video gallery secured by a pin. So i plan to have 4 pages, Login, Menu, Image Page and Video View. Login would be a simple textbox where i check the pin. The Menu would show all picture albums and videos in a list i create with clickable sprites or buttons or something like that. And a video view where a video will be shown if i click on a video link on the menu page.
I tried to prepare the scene in flash cs5, so i decided to create 4 frames. ALl pages have their own layer. The first will be the login, second the menu, third the image view (incl. thumbnail show and fullscreen view popup) and a video view. On each keyframe i put a rectangle converting it into a MovieClip acting as the main container where all the stuff will come into.
Now i tried to initialize all these MovieClips by resizing them everytime the stage is resized. For this i get errors, that some of the MovieClips are null. This is because the MovieClips exist only keyframe 2 for the menu or keyframe 3 for the image page and keyframe 4 for the video view. So i have to put them all into keyframe 1 to be able to access. But i created 4 keyframes because i want to jump to them by using "gotoAndStop( n)", where n stands for keyframe 2, 3 or 4.
I dont get it, how does Flash interpret the code and how is the visibility of these MovieClips. Can i only access the MovieClip from keyframe 2 because i added it on keyframe 2 only? What is the best solution to have a simple 4 page app where on page 1 (menu) i click on video link which holds some sort of ID of the video, then i jump to keyframe 4 for the video view providing it with that ID, but how to do that when Actionscript doesnt even know there is a video container MovieClip. To get Actioscript to know all of them, i have to move them to keyframe 1, but then how to do the paging stuff.
So I'm working on a new flash site project for my boss. I've not done a flash site before so am learning as I go.
What I wanted to get advice on is the best way to build the set of pages. As you see from the homepage, there are 8 buttons there in total.
Obviously, when one is clicked, it will take you to that page *collections, profile, etc etc....). I am in the process of creating these pages but want to know what's the ideal way to set up the fla.
Is it best to create each page as internal movie clips inside the actual site.fla and then using the attachmovie command attach them to a main container_mc? Or is it best making them separately and loading them externally, loadmovie to a container_mc?Or do I set each page at a different frame on the main timeline and get the button to jump to that frame, which then plays the movie via one of the methids above?
I'm creating flash site which will have different backgrounds for each page. I'll load the individual pages with "MovieClipLoader." My understanding about MovieClipLoaders is that, it doesn't matter the background of your mc, the page to which you are loading will maintain it's background.
View 3 RepliesI am currently in the process of making a flash layout. I am working on finding out how to create smooth transitions between pages. I know how to get from page a to page b but the transitioning is not working right. Is there some actionscript code I could use to make it so when you press a button it gotoAndPlays the transitioning movie and then shows the page.
View 1 Replies1. Create a new Flash document of size 450—300.
2. Create two dynamic text fields on the left side of the stage. Type some text into them as I have done. Give them instance names of titleText and contentText.
3. Create a new empty movie clip (Insert -> New Symbol). Give it a name Image holder and hit OK.
4. Drag the image holder from the library to the stage. Position it right after the title text field (refer to screenshot). Give the image holder an instance name of imageHolder
5. Now we need to create the images that show up on the right side of each page. Feel free to use your own, or use the ones that I have. Remember the location where you save these images! You will need the path when we define the image sources in the XML document.

I need to create a static frame and a changing content... currently envisaged as frame containing the side panel and header and footer content.
The content panel will call mxml based on the content sought.
a) how is the frame paradigm- with static frame "containing" other content done. I dont want to repeat the header and footer logic in every 'content section' code?
b) how is the hyperlinking between content sections done- using 'states' seems convoluted
how does pagination work? Is that I just need to create several Movieclips for each page and then add the contents into pages seperately?? Or is there any available tutorials??

View 6 RepliesThe pages get scrambled once I publish and test it for instance the one page shows and then the next and then another - all after another in rapid succession.I have the following layers:
1. Background - 20 (Where layer stops)2. Template - 20 (home) 3. Buttons 20 (the "20" layers will eventually change once the site grows bigger)4. page two- 25. page thee - 11 (has 9 pages on its own)6. page four - 12 now, the pages only jump around ONCE I ADD PAGE 4 - which is a movie.The movie is an .SWF and works fine on its own. The movieload tutorial is correct and works. There are also buttons on page 4 with button commands - I removed them and tested the published website without the buttons but they continue to jump around.
I'll try again, but this time I can add a link to the .fla my issue is this - I am building a website but the pages jump around - they don't stay still like they should[URL] the file is called "all files" - the main .fla is called "history" - there are two .swf's "wagon" and "band" if you test the website (CTRL+ENTER) and jump around between the pages for 20-30 seconds you will notice the pages jump around like crazy by themselves.
View 5 RepliesI have created a twitter API in flash using ActionScript 3.0 which loads the latest feeds from a user by using the screen name of the twitter user. When I test the swf locally it works fine. But the problem comes when I embed the swf in html page.The swf loads but does not show the content where it needs to access the TWITTER url to load the feeds.It doesn't load the feeds. It asks for the global settings to be changed.So, I have changed the settings and played the html page.I works fine.My question is when I will upload the files to a server the same problem will come and it will not load the feeds. How to solve this problem permanently?

View 1 RepliesI am working in two different applications, one to be compiled for desktop use (AIR) and one to be compiled for the web. They are part of the same project and use the same visual components, but they are completely different apps. When a visual component is changed in one application then it should also change in the other one. Is this a good situation to use a shared library fla? I am new to the concept of shared libraries and I am considering the options.
On one had I would not have to update 2 applications everytime I change something, on the other, I would always have to recompile the library folder when I do the smallest changes to a component.
