View 1 RepliesI am a very basic user on adobe flash, basically all I use Flash for at this moment is to create animated gif or basic SWF website banners. The problem that I am encountering at this moment is that when I export to an animated GIF the image quality becomes pixelated (see sample image below), where if i export the same work to an SWF it appears normal, I have tried several different combinations on the settings when saving the GIF but everytime I get the same results.
I would only use SWF formats but our website does not support SWF in every section.
I have 3 banners on a website.Each of them rotate to different "ads" with different urls.When they are viewed at the direct url file location everything works perfect.They click to the correct place.However when they are viewed together on the main site they will not click through.
View 7 RepliesI was wondering of any methods to sync two flash banners? What I mean is that when the page loads neither banner starts until both are ready? I will have two flash banners like this: |Banner 1| (something else between them, html css) |Banner 2| Both banners will contain video, that needs to be played in sync. Any ideas? I would prefer AS2, because the site I will run these two banners on prefers AS2. I read something about LocalConnection in AS3, anything similiar in AS2? And does it work on all OS / browsers? Can it be done with Javascript?

1. I want to click on a icon that activates (controls) a movie clip on another banner ( which would be on the same page)2. I also want to have this banner to have a input text field, which the user would type in their name say" john smith". Once they have typed in their names and clicked on the submit button it wouldd appear on the other banner( which is still on the same page)
View 6 RepliesAt the moment i am trying to make a flash banner that rotates banners out randomly and also when the guest sees the a banner they are intrested in they can click on it and it will take them to the respective link. I followed some tutorials out there on how to use xml and flash together and came up with this for my flash code:
// set random # variables - each must be 0 for first 'while' loop belowvar randomNum = 0;var randomNumLast = 0;
// parent containervar container_mc = this.createEmptyMovieClip("container",0);// movie clip

I have 2 flash banners (using ActionScript 2) on my web page, how can I make them start playing at the same time, after the page has fully loaded? Both .SWF files are embedded in HTML using the script provided by Adobe on object export. I created both in Flash CS4, but I have very little knowledge of flash. I read about "LocalConnection", but I have no idea how to implement it in flash.
View 2 RepliesFor a current project I need to create 25 versions of 5 different banner sizes. By version, I mean having slightly different content, namely: a different image and different text somewhere in the banner.
Let's, for this question, suppose I'll make sure somehow that said images and texts will all fit fine in the design for that particular size, so that I could create some sort of template per size, with some sort of placeholders for them. What is an efficient method, if any, to automate the rendering of these differing versions per size? Is it possible?
[Code]...
sometimes, the spec sheet from the media company won't state actionscript version. so I guess it should be save to use as2 rather than as3. but is that actually actionscript version will affect the flash player.
View 2 RepliesWe would like to start creating RIA using Flash, focusing more-so on the side of enterprise level web applications rather than simple Flash animations. I need to start getting my design/development group here up to speed on Flash, but cannot make heads or tails of the software to focus on from Adobe. Flash Professional CS5, Flash Catalyst CS5 or Flash Builder 4?

View 1 RepliesI am extremely new to Flash (using CS4) and want to create flash videos for display in web pages. I have used a few of the wizards and have gotten some rough, very amateurish looking results, but at least they work. I owuld now like to create a more professional looking product that has a nice looking player skin, a thumbnail preview that is typically included, and some sort of "Click to Play" button.
View 1 RepliesHow can I create a component using Flash CS5? I have tried to follow various documents I have found on google and went about it in the following way:
1. I created an empty FLA.
2. I created a MovieClip containing some graphics, and named the MovieClip "MyTestComponent" in the Library.
3. I selected the MovieClip's properties in the Library and selected "Export for Actionscript", and made the MovieClip inherit from fl.core.UIComponent.
4. I saved the FLA in the directory "C:Program Files (x86)AdobeAdobe Flash CS5CommonConfigurationComponents" and restarted Flash. At this point I would expect that the MyTestComponent component would show up in the Components panel, but it did not.
5. I tried to publish the FLA as an SWC file and place the SWC file in the same file as above. According to my understanding, both this and the step above should have worked, but it did not.
on picture 1 I'll start with a blank white box that slides to the right revealing a sketch of a picture and on picture 2 the whole picture is revealed.Then on 3, the line goes back to the left starting to reveal the real picture.I had no problems doing the 1 and 2nd step in flash but dont know how I do the 3rd, how do I make the sketch picture dissapear after the line has gone over it???
View 4 RepliesI am designing my first simple website with Adobe Flash, and I have run into a problem. When I do publish preview, I notice that no scrollbar appears in the browser; therefore, only part of my content is shown. How can I create a scrollbar in Flash so that when someone views my webpage they will be able to scroll down and view all of the content on the page?

getURL("LODGE INVITE PAGE 2.pdf", "_blank");

Is there a template out there for a flash gallery to display other swf files? Like an image gallery, but instead of images, they are swf files (some could be interactive as well.

View 3 RepliesWhich product do I need in order to create a customized flash player (and that is all I need to do)? I have a VP6 Alpha Channel.flv movie (transparent background). I would like to create a custom flash player for my website to display and control this movie.The player needs the following properties:
1. Play the movie transparently (using "wmode"?)
2. Play, pause, volume and exit buttons on the control bar
3. Autohide control bar
4. Logo / text on the control bar
5. Ability to unload itself after the movie ends
Which is the right product for me? Any links on how to create this player would be useful.
Is it possible to create an On/Off button to toggle audio on and off using AS3?
The Adobe help files do not seem to provide this, only AS2 options using Behaviours.
When I click on a button and choose Behaviours I get a warning that it only works with AS2.
I change the project to AS2 and then half of my actionscript stops working.
I have two questions:
1. I would like to put audio behind my flash pages. I have 5 pages (navigation with arrow buttons). Is there code available for where the user can click an on/off audio button? Does it have to be in a certain audio format?
2. Is it possible to create quizzes in flash i.e. are there templates somewhere?
I'm bringing in production art into Flash, and it's shifting getting lighter. I've read all about the issue, how it's
photoshop's color profiles, etc. Problem is, converting the images to working RGB isn't helping. I've tried converting them (originally they were in Adobe 1998 RGB) , creating a new document with the correct profile, but nothing works. I'm saving them out as PNG files. They look great in a browser even. Just washed out in Flash. Anything else I can try?
Is it possible to create interactive floor plans in flash CS4? Are there any tutorials out there to do this?
View 1 RepliesI want to be able to record 5-30 sec "green screen" segments on my video camera, extract them from the background, save it as DECENT QUALITY flash that can be embedded in my company website (small motorcycle dealership in Sweden) so that I can reach my customers in a better way. I have seen a website that does this and truly want to learn it. I am willing to buy whatever software is necessary.
