I just got Flash CS4.i think it is supposed to have several categories of templates.I only have the advertising category. How can I get the standard Adobe CS4 sample templates, like the photo slideshow? I cannot find anyplace on the [url]... site for template downloads.
View 1 RepliesMy sample templates are missing, all that shows now are Cateregory: Advertising and different size banners. I searched my harddrive and found the rood folder where they are stored but only the folder for Advertising exist. I haven't deleted anything, so could it have been a glitch at installation, I had startup problems with Flash constantly crashing at the splash screen and finally had to uninstall and reinstall.
Running WinXP SP3.

I tried to create some, such as "Drag and Drop" or "True and False." However, the instructions weren't adequate. I couldn't figure out what Adobe was telling me to do. I went online to Adobe, and tried to find tutorials.It seems, to me, that there Quiz Learning Interactions are included only in the version of Flash CS5 that comes with the e-Learning suite.

View 1 Repliesi have a question about text in a slideshow. i know how to make a basic photo slideshow with external images. but now what i want to do is add 4-5 paragraphs of text next to each photo (with possible scrolling). the text will be different on each photo.

View 3 RepliesI've placed some of my videos flv and f4v in the vod/media and webroot/vod folders with sample files provided. My files were checked with flvcheck and passed. When I load the embed code into a Dreamweaver HTML file and save the page to the webroot folder as instructed, the provided sample files play in my Firefox browser. However, when I edit the code to insert my files in strict accordance with the instructions concerning codecID and extension, I get the following message on the Browser "We are unable to connect to the content you've requested." My videos are less than 30 minutes in length and were encoded H.264 using Adobe Media Encoder and as I said passed the flvcheck.
View 1 RepliesI am trying to build a standard slideshow, but it wont start. Someone named Uli mentioned something about using movieclips but he/she didnt elaborate any further.This is what my code is like:
mcSlideShow.onRelease = function(){
clearInterval(Interval);
Interval = setInterval(SlideShow, 3000);[code].....
I'm currently trying to built a little Air Application where I want to set the normal Command-C key to call a function? Is this even possible to use a standard Menu Command?
function createMenu():NativeMenu{
var menu:NativeMenu = new NativeMenu();
var menuOneCommand: NativeMenuItem = menu.addItem(new NativeMenuItem("Menu 1"));
menuOneCommand.keyEquivalent = "C"; //Command Shift C
menuOneCommand.addEventListener(Event.SELECT, myfunction);
return menu;
}
Moreover I would love to know how I can call a function (myfunction) which is actually a MouseEvent Handler?
function myfunction(e:MouseEvent = null) {
trace('Throws Errors at the moment')}
I have been trying for days to write my own custom NCManager class that allows us to connect to a Limelight stream. We have to issue a NetCOnnect.call() that has the command "FCSubscribe" and the stream name. I've written a 100% custom player(url...) (have to register!) but what I want to to resolve that player with the video-on-demand player(url...) into a single Flash project.I want to allow our Graphics guys (aka Flash developers) to be able to use the standard Adobe FLVPlayback components and skins and also be able to p lay back files, streaming content and Limelight content. To this end I thought that writing a custom NCManager class would be the way to go.
I have 99.9% succeeded: my class gets the connectToURL(),connects to Limelight, subscribes and all is well but I am really really stuck now on how to tell the FLVPlayback component that it .can start playing back now that the stream is connected.FLVPlayback and VideoPlayer parts appear to be AS2 and I cannot call the rtmpStatusInfo() function on the VideoPlayer part to tell it that it is good to go.I am so close I can taste it: If I create a NetStream object and play() it, I can hear the content to I know that if I could only get the FLVPlayback / VideoPlayer dynamic duo to playback then the job would be done.
I have attached the code, warts and all in the hope that either somebody has done this before or can tell me what I have misunderstood about the internal state-machine / FSM logistics that VideoPlayer et al implement.By reading the source code and my debugging statements I can see that I have maneuvered it towards the ultimate goal of playback but I don't know how to make that final step.
PS: I *know* that reconnect() is non-functional but if I uncomment the call all it does is go around the loop again; the real problem is I cannot tell the VideoPlayer that it can play (via rtmpStatusInfo) the data etc
PPS: The meta-data related stuff *only* gets called if I uncomment the NetStream code; this was to check that I had a valid playback stream, which I do at that point.
When I Click on File>New and go to Templates, there is only one category listed: Advertising. Where are the rest and how do I get them?

View 5 RepliesFlash slideshow by getting it to preload the next photo (from a folder of numbered jpgs) when the current photo is done loading, but I can't quite get it worked out and I'm not sure what I'm missing... What I thought I might try is to have two movie clips to hold photos, one on the stage and one off the stage.
I would load the current photo into the movie clip on the stage(pictures.slides) and when that finishes I would load the next photo in the movie clip off the stage (pictures.preloadNextPhoto) so that it would already download the image and would load faster when the user clicks "Next". It doesn't work. I won't load the whole script in here, but this is the movieloader function with the meat of the functionality:

View 2 RepliesI really like this automated slide show tutorial using xml. However, I'm looking for help on why when using a modem connection the file loads the first image and stalls (out of the box, no modifications to the file at this point). I refresh the screen and it starts over and loads the first image and then the second image and stalls again. This stall occurs for each subsequent image until all images are loaded. I did try adding a preloader function in the fla file ... I tired loading the images using a JavaScript array in the body of the html page.
I read all the optimization help file information and help on publishing settings. I tried various published settings with compression, with compression. Tried different fps settings etc. I'm using MX. Downloaded trial versions of MX 2004 and MX 2004 Professional and still not working, as I would like it to on dialups.I have a similar version that is dynamically loading images but is using text files to load the variables. I am very interesting in this one because is uses xml. I tried clipping out the xml code and used it in my other file and I get the same result.
Why does test movie open a new window in the IDE instead of compiling? And when I try Publish Settings I get 'No Valid HTML Templates are available to complete this operation'.
View 5 RepliesI've been using flash8 on my computer without any problems since I've purchased it, until now. Suddenly I'm getting this error message when trying to publish. (it won't let me get to the publish settings)"No Valid HTML Templates are available to complete this operation".I've already reinstalled without any success, and have scoured the internet for a solution. It seems others have had this problem in the past but no one has a logic answer on how to fix this. So I come to you, I know my version is dated and not an actual Adobe product, but it was working fine.
View 6 RepliesThis seems like it should be MUCH simpler than it is turning out to be: I have made a custom template in Flash CS4. I want to share it with a colleague. The obvious solution, I would think, would be to COPY the template file from my hard drive, and provide it to my colleague.
However, I have looked high and low, and CANNOT FIND WHERE USER TEMPLATES ARE STORED on my hard drive. I have found the Adobe-provided templates that are included with the product (the "Advertising" templates) at Program Files>Adobe>Adobe Flash CS4>en>Configuration>Templates>Advertising; but MY CUSTOM TEMPLATES are not in the Templates directory.
I have also looked in My Documents, and run several searches on my hard drive, but still cannot find the location of my custom templates. Surely they are SOMEPLACE on my hard drive, as they are available from the Splash page every time I boot up Flash CS4.
I need to create a photo slideshow which runs automatically (I don't want any "back" or "next" buttons - there is to be no user interface), with the photos fading in and out, one after the other, and music in the background.
I have external .jpg files that I need to have load, one after the other, into their own movie clips (I have 5 different movie clips which I would like to alternate between my .jpgs) and stay on the stage for a set amount of time (3 seconds for some, 5 seconds for some, etc.).
I figured out how to get 1 image to load into a movie clip with the below code:
var image:Loader = new Loader ();
image.load( new URLRequest ("pic1.jpg"));
blankMC.addChild (image);
However I don't know the code to force this movie clip to only play for a set amount of time, and, unload from the stage, and then load a new movieclip.
if not, is there a way for me to accomplish this without using XML (which I have no clue how to do . . .)
On the main page will be a Slide show of 8 pictures. I would like a next and previous button on each side of the picture.Also I would like it, to where, when you click the picture, it would take you the the page the picture is at on my flash site.. So like page "Chris_Portfolio"

View 3 RepliesI've spend two days searching this forum, to find an example on how to makea XML image gallery "like the kirupa one" but with an adittional feature...with no success.I'm looking for a gallery setup that offers you an option to inlcude extra photos' per image..For example:image one can contain 1-5 extra pictures, which can be seen either viadynamicly attached numbers 12345above the picture or even bettera "play/pause project" button which will show the extra pictures of that same project...a kind of slideshow within a slidehow..with captions/fades ...the whole deal.
View 5 RepliesI'm trying to modify Kirupa's xml photo slideshow by adding an extra text field, which if I understand correctly gives each element 3 children (image+text1+text2) instead of 2 (image+text). Even though I've added the third child correctly in the xml, I can't seem to get it to work at all. Here is what I did with the actionscript:
delay = 10000;
//-----------------------
function loadXML(loaded) {
if (loaded) {
[code]....
I've highlighted the parts I've added to the code provided by kirupa's tutorial. sub_text is the instance name I give to the new text field in Flash.
I downloaded the sample file of making slide photos, but I just can't make it run and load pictures automatically and loop itself continuously. How do I do it without have to hit next or previous? And all done with action scripting only without using keyframes? [URL]
