I have a flash carousel menu system working off a .xml file which links it to the .png icons,however when i publish it as a .exe and .app files, the projector still needs to be in the same folder as the .xml and .png's to work,is there anyway i can get the .app to contain the .xml and pngs within in it,so it is a stand-alone application?
I have a map of the US and each state has a rollover that changes the color of the state...what i am trying to figure out is how to click on the state and have text appear to the side of the US map and have that text stay up until the user clicks on another state.
So I decide to make my website in Dreamweaver with some quicktime files; they would have to be converted to F4v. So I downloaded the Adobe Media Converter and that did it's job.
Next step to place the F4v file into Dreamweaver, right. Nope. I then learned, that I need to publish the video via Adobe Flash Pro CS5 so that I can get SWF files, but my F4v won't open in that program.

I've been trying to make a playlist of some of the short movies i've done across the years but I am currently stuck.Is there any way to have a .swf file, load other .swf using variables defined on a separate txt or xml file? if so, is there a way that flash can do it all automatically? that way if i have to update it i only have to update the variables in the .txt/.xml file instead of updating the entire .swf file.
I have been trying to search for an answer on how to make a whole .swf file unscalable but I have only found information on how to scale flash files. I did find a post that mentioned the code "Stage.scaleMode = "noScale";" but when I add that to the first frame in my timeline, nothing happens.
Ive got my dancing fruit sorted, however when I save the file as an animated gif and put it in my application the gif has the stage background.

I'm trying to make an educational app prototype (I'm new to Flash, this is for a Masters in education) to help students learn IPA symbols (phonetics). I have successfully made a section where the students click on symbols to hear the corresponding audio and listen to explanations.
For the final part of the prototype, I have to create some kind of instructional game. My idea is to have 12 circles, each one playing an audio file of a vowel sound (this I know how to do). The students will have to click the circles to listen and then drag and drop them to the correct IPA symbol. Flash would then give feedback on correct/incorrect answers and a score. Maybe all of this is against the clock, needing a timer.
So, I need to learn drag and drop. What else to I need to learn so that one drop position is considered "correct", the others are considered "incorrect" and a score is given at the end? And maybe a timer?)
I really wish Flash and Photoshop would make possible a grid system like 3D apps so the center of any page would be: X:0 and Y: 0, then when placing graphics you could just type in X:0 and Y:0 and the graphic would be placed in the center of the stage.
so for my loading screen, I want a block to appear for every 10% loaded (so they'red be 10 blocks at the end). I know how to make a loading bar, but I'm having trouble making this one.
I'm sure this is something easy that I'm missing, but I can't figure it out. How do I make a button invisible? I need it to be invisible through frame 43 of my movie. I have tried changing the alpha to 0, but it's not letting me change that, except in the edit button mode which changes it for the entire duration and not just through frame 43.
New to flash. Started usig it less than a week ago. I have tried to find the exact tutorial to help me with these things, but they didn't cover exactly what I was looking for, or they where AS2. I'm using AS3. I don't know how to add a zip file to this post, so I uploaded it to a webpage.[URL]..
Question 1: I'm using a panoramic image as the background for my site. I want it to scroll/pan side to side following the mouse as it moves side to side. I would like it to ease in and out of the motion as well.
Question 2: When the mouse moves over the menu text at the top I want the other navigation buttons to appear under it for a few seconds, and become active, then dissappear if un-clicked.
im making a flash animation in which i made a symbol called #_mc which is in a symbol called #_anim_mc withhin the sceane.the #_mc contain "#". the #_anim_mc contain motion tween of the the "#" coming in from the left to the right. now within the main timeline i duplicated the #_anim_mc 100 times and i need to switch them with numbers but not all togethor. one by one.for ex: the 1st after 20 frames the 2nd after 28 frames etc. now i dont know how to make changes in each one to time them when to switch to a number. the only think i can think about is to make 100 differnt symbol each one allready set to its own timing.
I have a bunch of flv files and at the momment when a user clicks on the link to each of the files on my site, they are prompted to download each FLV file or asked how to open the video. Is it possible so that when the user clicks on the link the file opens and plays in a flv player( not embedded though), without asking to be downloaded or how to open the video ? Do i have to somehow add the player code to the flv file ?
CS3 used to have this nice autorotate function where you could make a MovieClip spin - great for vehicle wheels and the like. Has this been deprecated in CS4? Can't seem to find it...
When I test the movie my hyperlink works fine, but when I publish it, doesn't work. I'm not experienced with ActionScript. Here are some screen shots of what I got...
I really want to attempt in making my own game kind of like Farmville. I know most of the actionscript, but I do not understand how they make the artwork. I try to make those isometric art in photoshop and stuff, but it's almost impossible for me. I use a tablet.So I'm wondering how do so many people make that art work so easily?
Just starting out with Flash and have run into a problem. I have several scenes with buttons that can be pressed once and then they disappear using: myBtn1.onRelease = function(){ this._visible=false} But when I go back to the scene the buttons reappear. How can I make my buttons be gone forever?
In photoshop, you can create a path with the pen tool and then make that path a selection as if you'd used the lasso tool. How do you turn a pen path into a lasso selection in Flash (CS4)?
