Professional :: Film And Text And Intend To Develop A Website To Showcase Work?
Nov 24, 2010
I just acquired Flash, well CS4, I work with film and text and intend to develop a website to showcase my work, as they say. But I would like to make a stand-alone interactive piece that can be stored and created on a desktop then played, via external hard-drive or whatever (most likely a large piece of work, nore than a few gig) on someone else`s laptop; ie, not a website, just yet, but simply an interactive presentation that allows users to access film and text pieces from different menus; a media scrap-book if you like; a stand-alone box of ideas; there must be a way of doing this, rather than having everything in folders ready to show; does Flash have this capability? I know Director did.
I just scanned in 16 frames from old 16 mm film and created a short clip in .swf, by default the clip is looping. I want it to loop, but all I want to do is place a 5 second pause at the end of the short 1 second clip before it starts up again. I am using CS4 Flash Professional.
I have page made everything in flash cs4 with background black, with many scenes but when jump from one to another one remains the space of .swf in target until it loads, I have proven thousand tricks but not it with himself, How I can avoid it?
I have just created a flash navigation menu in which I imported to dreamweaver to link with the rest of my website. But if I want to test the buttons to see if they work on my system (localhost) and not on a random website, what url do I put? Or do I have to wait until I put my pages on the server and simply paste in the address?
AS2, + CS4 Flash I am trying to develop a 'Nearest Store Locator' in flash for part of my website. Basically instead of having all of my stockists and stores listed on the website, I would like to have an input box, where a user can put in their Postcode, and the flash swf will search the stores we stock by the postcode(s) and bring up the closest 3 - 5 stores. Is this possible to do,
The Section3.fla file contains the text I need to edit. I notice that the text is visible inside the library:
"/Sprites/sprite 11" file and "/Text/text" 10 file
But when I try to edit the text 10 file I get the message: "This symbol is imported from a Shared Library. If you edit this symbol, it will no longer be imported. Do you want to continue?".
If I click Yes and edit the text and replace the Section3.swf with the new one, the website still shows the old text.
If I have 10 pictures and have a box to show 5 pictures which will move to the right side. Is it difficult to write a script to loop to showcase those pictures inside the box endlessly.
The order of image is like this img10 img1 img2 img3 img4 img5 img6 img7 img8 img9 img10 img1 img2 img3 img4........
Is there a nice way to integrate several air apps into one Showcase Application, without having to modify the original Air App Code to fit into the Showcase ?Without necessary modifcations it would be possible to easy update the containtng app.
I downloaded a XML based website flash template and made some modifications to it. With this template there was few fonts included in separate folder (I had to install them to view swf and edit fla correctly) after all my mods done I published it to swf file and opened local file with browser, everything was working perfectly at this moment. Then I asked my friend if it could upload it on his server to check if this website looks the same on the web. I noticed that text (which is written with custom font that was included) is either missing or misplaced
I would like to develop a component for use in Flash CS5 and I would like to look at the source code for the existing components in order to understand how they work. However, I am unable to find this source code. On this page:
[URL]
Under "Where component files are stored" there are a number of directories listed, all under
However, this directory does not exist on my installation. C:Program FilesAdobeAdobe Flash CS5enConfiguration does exist, but there is no directory called "Component Source" in this directory.
I guess the best way to explain this is that I want to animate the text so that it types itself. I tried using a mask so that it slowly uncovers the text, but for some reason the code for the button that I inserted at the beginning of the flash seems to somehow prevent the mask from working, so the text just appears there and doesn't move or anything.
I want to create a Flash site related to the space tourism industry.I'm looking for some good ideas on the best way to develop an introductory page using Flash.
Im using Flash 8 to make a meny for my webiste. When you point whit the mouse on the meny it will scroll down, and if you take it outside it will scroll back. But im facing a problem When i try to put buttons or linked text into the movieclip, they just wont work... Anyone know what i have done wrong?Here you can download the movieclipHeres the code.
on (rollOver) {_root.html.gotoAndPlay(2);}on (rollOut) { _root.html.gotoAndPlay(7); }
I have use flash sparingly in the past. I am well versed in computers, but we can flash, very weak. Let's say this I do know how to get into Flash. This is the address for what I'm trying to accomplish. You can see the navigation in the upper left corner [URL].
I am trying to develop a menu tree that has these basic functions: 1. No heavy graphics - basically the information is more textbased. 2. The menu tree works within two tabs. 3. The menu tree using rollovers. a. The rollovers display a graphic image or text in a "TV" box, display, underneath the actual menu tree.
"Master Swap Action" - there is also a horizontal tab selection available. The master display, largest display area, is changed based on the "Master Swap Action". Also, the menu tree is swapped out. The two areas that are swapped out correspondent to the tab's that were selected. Here is a small sample of how we control the Menu currently. It uses a language called iMint. [Code] .....
so i updated a site and now the input text part on my form does not input numbers or signs which i need the @ to work for the form to work and i tried to fix it on cs4 and it will not work because its not the same format since i updated it from cs4 to cs5 and now i cant go back. How do i get the numbers and signs to work now?
i have a project where i have a movie.swf (AS2) and some buttons with js/jQuery in the html part. Now i want the buttons to control the flash. For Example pressing Button1 would do a gotoAndPlay(1) and Button2 gotoAndPlay(150) Button3 gotoAndStop(450)
I have a large SWF flash file being loaded by a parent SWF and I would like to start playing the film being loaded, let's say, when it is 50% completed. According to my expected user's bandwidth and the size of my film I will calculate the best moment to do that (the film could be 20%, 30% or 50% loaded). I want to leave users waiting the minimum and I don't need to wait until my flash is 100%.
Ok, that said, here is the problem. I am in ActionScript 3. I have one film loading another and I want to anticipate the loaded film start. I have an onProgressHandler(mProgress:ProgressEvent) function (with listener launched by ProgressEvent.PROGRESS) and I have a regular onLoadComplete(e:Event) function (with listener launched by Event.COMPLETE). I could check for 20% completed during my regular onProgressHandler. But then, when I have identified this point has been reached, how can I anticipate the launching of the film? I mean, my Event.COMPLETE handler passes the e:Event and I can use e.target to get the loaded object into my film. But what happens if I want to start that process before it is complete? I cannot pass this e:Event because the COMPLETE handler hasn't been launched yet...
One important thing to say. The film that is loading is almost empty. It is very light. The heavy film is the one being loaded and I want to attach that film being loaded to a movie clip in my film before it has completed loading.
