View 2 RepliesI'm currently having an issue creating a set of buttons that are supposed to turn individual layers on and off. The layers I have are: fishing spots, facilities, trails, map elements, an aerial photo, and parking lots. It is giving error #s 1119 and 1120. Could anyone explain possible reasons I'm getting these errors.It might be worth mentioning that I used a tutorial made with Flash CS4, but I'm writing the code in CS5. Here is the exact code I'm using:
spots._visible = false;
facilities._visible = false;
parking._visible = false;
elements._visible = true;

I am pretty new to flash but I am kind of getting the hang of things. I am trying to create a interactive slideshow in flash that will not end up on the web. These are three quick questions I currently have. Thanks for any help you can provide
1. Let's say I have an icon of a person in my flash file, how can I make it so that when my moves rolls over the person a thinking bubble appears and when it rolls off the bubble disappears?
2. If I have a small image of a page version of a .pdf file in my flash file, how can I make it so that when the little .pdf page icon is click the .pdf file is launched?
3. I understand how to create a square button over text and mess with its up/down/over/click settings, but I am wondering how I can do something like change the color of the text when it is clicked or when the mouse is over it? Right now I only know how to change the color of the square button.
my latest project is to create an interactive version of the map for the game, GTA: San Andreas. Here are some of the features I would like to add:(Images have been made as a quick demonstration - the real thing will use the map)URL...Zoomed out, selectable pieces of the map (like jigsaw pieces).The different "jigsaw" pieces of the map are based on the borderlines of where each town/village starts/ends.URL...When a region on the map is chosen, it zooms into the region, allowing the user to select a town/village within that region. This screen will have a "back" button on it to allow the user to go back to the whole map.URL...After choosing a town/village, the last screen appears, providing an image (screenshot from in-game) of the destination with information to the left or right of the image. This screen will also have a "back" button on it to allow the user to go back to the chosen region. The detail on the map will also show basic places that the player of the game would like to know, such as hospital locations, ammu-nation locations (gun shops) and safehouses.Once I have the basic version done, I plan on updating it by adding locations of other items, such as vehicles, collectables and weapons.
1) Is it possible to make oddly-shaped hotspots, which are interactable (clickable and what not)? I know you can make rectangular hotspots, but the borderlines of the towns and villages in the game aren't straight lines, and most require more than 4 lines to make the shape.
2) Is there any way I can learn the code that Flash uses? Just so I understand it a bit more, since I am using it for a two-year school project too, which goes towards my GCSEs next year. I would just like to get more familiar with Flash, and maybe the other programs, Illustrator and Fireworks. The only ones I know well are Photoshop and Dreamweaver.
I would like to create an interactive diagram and somebody said I should use Flash to do it.
The idea is to create an organisational chart (like the ones you can produce in MS Word 2010). Each position will have its own box or button. When a user clicks on that box or button, a Word document or internet link will be activated and take the user to this other resource.
The reason why I am choosing Flash is because I would like to make alot of these diagrams and they have to go into Moodle. Apparently Flash is the only program I should use to import the diagram into Moodle.
I would like to build a quiz in which the trainee can choose and then drag and drop a graphic object onto one of a number of locations and submit their choice. Sort of like a hotspot, only instead of clicking on the right spot, you choose object A,B, or C and drop it onto location 1, 2 or 3. Ideally, I would like to use graphics (or SolidWorks drawings) of the actual objects and locations. The training is for assembling mechanical devices and each assembler needs to be certified before being let loose on the assembly line. What tools and techniques to use to accomplish this? I would like to incorporate the quiz in Captivate or as a standalone.

View 1 RepliesI am trying to find a way to create an interactive brochure with page curls, hyperlinks, printable, etc. Is this possible using Adobe software?I thought it would be something you would create in Flash or Fireworks, but can't seem to find any info on it.

Also, I created an interactive brochure from Indesign, but the file is about 6MB and loads very slow on the web.
I've started learning Flash two weeks ago and I have the challenge of creating an interactive political map with about 4000 cities. Some cities will have more than 600 lines defining their limits which will make this project very demanding on processing.People will be able to zoom in/out, select cities and see information about them.As a starting point, I've begun working with 500 cities. I've imported a vectorial drawing of these cities and converted each one of them to symbols using flash javascript, resulting of course in 500 symbols. I don't know if it was a good way of starting this project but worked for me. Then my problems begun.
First I tried to use the mouse roll over and roll out events to change the (fill) color of cities but the city limits (stroke) changed also.Second I want to add some properties to the cities such as city code, name, etc. but I wasn't able to do that using class inheritance. Would I have to create a different City class for every symbol I would like to extend? This approach looks like a lot of headache and redundant work.
I'm creating an interactive gauge in Flash. The gauge has two needles and these needles need to be controlled by two text input boxes. That way, whenever a number is typed into the box, the needles respond accordingly.
var degree = (360/intRange)*Number(strValue);
var hist = (360/intRange)*Number(strHist);
var mneedle = needle_mc._rotation
var mpointer = pointer_mc._rotation
if (mneedle < 0){
mneedle = 360 + mneedle;

I have been asked to create an interactive flash project where the user would be able to click on a main image and depending on what part of the image they click on, a movie clip plays, then goes back to the main image.
I am sure this is basic, but I have been researching, watching tutorials, etc for a week now and can't seem to get it to work. I am by no means a Flash expert and have really never worked in it. I do more Photoshop and Illustrator-type work. So Actionscript is new to me and really the whole interface is as well.
Would you all be kind enough to help me out? I am going to need some detailed explaination.

View 2 RepliesI would like to create a interactive map of a 3D town. The idea is somehow similar to Google Street View, in which users could use their mouse to move along street, and they can view the houses on the two sides of street at the perspective view.I can model a town with a few houses with 3D Max. However , I do not clearly understand the mechanism how we can add the interaction with the 3D model in Flash, somehow similar to Google Street view? Where should I start? Would someone give me an idea, or a tip so that I could start searching tutorials related to this new technique? Now I don't know exactly where I should start searching from.
View 4 RepliesI am trying to create an interactive image gallery for use on my GoDaddy.com site. The site is template based and will only accept a single standalone.swf file. As an example GoDaddy shows an image gallery created in Flash Slideshow Maker Pro. However, this is only for a PC platform and I'm on a Mac. I created an interactive image gallery using Jetphoto software. However, the Jetphoto software does not produce a single standalone .swf file. Instead it produces folders containing hi & lo jpgs, an html file, an xml file and a jetphotview.swf file. Does anyone know of a Mac based interactive slideshow program that is easy to use and will create a single .swf file? Or, although I don't know how to use it, I own a full version of Flash. Is there any way to convert the series of Jetphoto files to a single .swf file? When it is opened in Flash the save menus are grayed out. I tried to convert the .swf file back to an .fla file to bring into Flash and that doesn't work either.
