I recently added a loader page ("loader.swf") to my flash website. Basically, I created a new file and added a loader which shows the percent loaded, and then it loads in the "index.swf" file. My question is: when I upload my site to the web server, do I use the loader page as the "index" page? My dilemma about that is that I don't want the URL to read "[URL]"...
View 11 RepliesFirst off, my main problem is that my company's website is loading slow and I'm not sure why. All of my images are small file sizes, but I do have 4 scenes that I'm using , maybe that causes slow loading?I've attached the website address below:I created my entire website out of flash Is this not the best way to create and publish a website?Should I use Flash in conjunction with another website building software to create and publish my full website? If I only use Flash can someone please point me in the direction of how to successfully build and publish a website through Flash that doesn't load slow, i.e. loading things dynamically? What I've been doing is publishing my site onto my computer and then uploading the .html and .swf files to Godaddy for publishing.
View 3 RepliesI have my entire site layout in Flash CS4 and using AS3. I was able to successfully segment the site with labels, add UI Loaders to desired sections to make the site smaller and work faster, I was able to put a close button above the UI Loader, which closes it and brings a user back to a designated section of the site.
And then I encountered a problem. I have a few images in each UI Loader which I would like to function as buttons and also bring the user to the desired section on the main site, however it seems to be a problem that the buttons are located inside the UI Loader I can not figure out how to jump out of the loader to the main site.
Is there a specific code for it or the whole layout has to be somehow restructured?
Here is my situation:
I have a Flash file hosted at:
http://static.mydomain.com/flash.swf
I have a web page that embeds that Flash file at:
http://www.mydomain.com/embed.html
The <embed> code for that SWF has the "allowScriptAccess" parameter set to "sameDomain". Currently, I cannot put links in "flash.swf" that change the location of the embedding page, because they are on different domains, and making a getURL() or ExternalInterface call won't be permissible.
Changing "allowScriptAccess" to "always" is not an option. Putting both files on the same domain is also not an option.
Policy files don't seem to be the solution (perhaps I'm coding them wrong?) and changing the "document.domain" of the embedding page doesn't seem to work either.
I have a flash animated logo with sound on all of the pages of my website. My goal is to make a mute button which when clicked will work on cookie base or php session (?) and will mute the sound of the logo on all pages for the given period of cookie.
View 1 RepliesI'm using the Flash CS4 IDE, and the first page of my site takes a lot longer to load than I want it to. So I wanted to go through the varied images / symbols / movie clips / sounds and so on to see where all the memory is being chewed up. When I go into my library, however, I can see the Name, LInkage, usecound and Type of my elements, but no mention of file size and I can't seem to find any right click menu that lets me add file size to the list of details being displayed. Is there a way to make it show file size? Or some workaround? And are there any best practices to reduce file size aside from using symbols for anything that's used more than once and reducing image and sound quality?

View 3 RepliesI'm taking a flash website template purchased by a friend and configuring to suit his business. Yesterday, I viewed the .swf file from my local machine, and everything looks exactly as it should. I also uploaded to my server to view live on the web in a couple different browsers, and everything was fine. Today, I uploaded a newer edit to the site and the .xml file to test the browser compatibility, and the text in my navigation has disappeared, and the content text is double spaced, causing major alignment and much of the text to remain unseen. This leaves the viewer unable to see which pages they are navigating to and they will see a poorly developed site.
To sum it up...it looked fine yesterday, then after some edits to both the source .fla and an .xml file that provides the content, i have issues after uploading it to the web.

I made a flash banner to my friend so he could upload it on his site. [URL]. Image:
The flash banner on top loads in Mac OS X in every browser I try. On Windows though it works only on Firefox & Internet Explorer Beta 9. I disabled the firewall to see if that work, but no result. There's an inconsistency issue. At my workplace it works as it should. It's also important to note that other .swf files on the net plays fine, so it's only this particular site.
i have a short swf that has two movie clips that act as holders for thumbnails to get loaded in a random fashion. it works fine when i test my movie, and even when i export the swf. the images load in the placeholder - no problems.when i upload the swf to the website, the thumbnails dont load and the holders stay blank.i experimented locally and moved my .swf file into a folder that didn't contain a folder containing all the thumbnails. this gave the same result as the website (blank holders).when i move the folder containing all the images into this new folder with the swf, the images load in the movie and no blank holders are seen.
easy solution i though, i upload the folder to the website in the same directory as the swf file. did that but the images still dont load. is it that the swf is attempting to read the folder that would be on the local drive and not go for the copy in the same containing folder on the remote area?here is my code,
Code:
MovieClip.prototype.setRandom = function() {
HIGH = 100;

Doesn't seem to be much info out there on this. I'm consistently getting a coldFusion error on upload. (sorry, wasn't sure whether this was a coldFusion or Flash problem, but ended up posting here)I have tried several ways of uploading, the latest would be:

request.method = URLRequestMethod.POST;
request.contentType="application/octet-stream";

I am just looking for a tutorial for a simple loader bar. My flash site is quite large and as a result, a simple loading screen leads people with slower connections to believe that maybe it has crashed during load and don't wait till it's finished. A load bar would obviously show that the site is still downloading.

As a standalone site, it is ok, but now, I want to make a preloader, and I am wondering what is the simplest way to achieve that by making less modification as possible in my Racine class? Suppose I create a swf called loader.swf loading my site, site.swf, is it possible to have a document root also for loader.swf?
A client of mine has had 2 sites (both Flash sites) attacked over the last 12 months, so he's been asking: should he go for a static HTML site or stick with a Flash site? Is there ways to make a Flash site more secure?
View 1 RepliesI am trying to create a web site suing adobe Dreamweaver and flash, for the first time.I am trying to upload a webpage that contains swf.When I check mu site I could only see a blank page with the webpage title at the top of the page.When I contacted the webhosting company they say they can see the message that a newer version of adobe flash player is required. From my computer I cannot even see the message.The helpdesk person said there are possibly two reasons for it. Either there is a problem with the code in flash or it is too large.Are they too large to upload? If so, what is the maximum size of file can I upload on a webpage?I know they are basic questions but I am trying to create website on my own.
View 2 RepliesI am trying to embed a flv with a custom skin from Flash CS4 on my web page. I have embedded FLV's before using Dreamweaver CS4 by going to Insert/Media/FLV and it worked fine. However, I do not like any of the skins available in DW.
So I created a FLA in Flash with a skin that I prefer. The file previews fine in Flash. I published it and Flash create the flv, swf and skin.swf. I then went to DW and choose Insert/Media/SWF and inserted on the html page. I previewed it in the browser and it worked fine.
I uploaded the .swf, flv, skin, and html to my server. The skin appears but the flv video does not.
Is there somewhere in Flash that I need to specify "Progressive Download" as in DW? Or am I missing a file? Or.....

Im trying to create a button which will have a link to download a pdf to the users desktop - Im a new user, so I have picked up this code:
on(release){
getURL("LODGE INVITE PAGE 2.pdf", "_blank");
}
which doesn't work! I just put this in on assuming that flash would pick up the pdf on my desktop but it cannot open the pdf when you click on the link.
how do transitions from page to page and from frame to frame all in on site, and i'm lost in the codes this is an exemple that i did in attachment, i want to be able to click in the different buttons bur a lot of thinks do not work. In the portfolio section i create a move clip that works well alone, bur when i integrate it with the home intro it didn't work properly. Hope that someone will be able to help me on that one, cause i think that this will help me a lot to understnad the basic transitions with buttons (frame to frame and page to page).

I did a bit of search without success to find if anything like this was answered before.Sorry for asking a silly question, I am a newbie and hence maybe missing something obvious.I used the Encoder to create the flv file and embedded the file in the timeline and the swf file plays the video just fine locally. For some reason, it's not playing after I uploaded it to the server. I did copy over all the files (swf)s) & flv). It's a very small video and I can't even see the video(just blank) while running the swf file after uploading the files on to the server. All other frames are working as expected.

I created a website in Flash, published it, and uploaded the swf and html file to the server. When bringing up the website Flash doesn't play automatically. I first must right click and select play. When I was testing my flash site on another server, it worked great and played automatically. Is there something within flash that I need to modify or is this an issue with the server?
View 3 RepliesI'm working on building a personal portfolio site right now. I wanted to add a scroll feature to one the pages. I wasn't sure how to build it, so I down loaded one off here [URL] and just plugged my own graphics into it. It scrolls up and down just fine, but when I try to put a mask over it, it doesn't work. In the content the author wrote for his movie he says "Note: If you want to have a mask over the content: copy MC:frame and make it a mask for MC:Page. If you do so, notice that "non-anti-alias text" is not possible anymore. This is a common thing in a Flash Movie. I keep trying that and it just blocks everything out all together. So what am I doing wrong?
View 1 RepliesI'm looking to build a Flash site and would like to have a page for a blog so as to upload information, videos and maybe user comments (undecided of yet).

I have a simple Flash animation which I have imported to a page in my DW doc. When the anim finishes, I would like the page to go to a different page in the same site. Without clicking. I assume I have to write some AS on the last frame of my FL file, correct?
Something like this:
var link:URLRequest = new URLRequest("page.html")
stage (or something?).addEventListener(what goes here.ENDMOVIEor something like that, endMovie);
function endMovie(event:WhatGoesHere):void {
navigateToURL(link);
I have 1 menu them it use an action script for redirect the answer by the user. For example I used the script :
on (release) {
getURL("[URL]");
}
In this case the request is ""Http"" ....but, if must call one page present in the directory of my site for example:
chi_siamo/
-home.aspx
-contattaci.aspx
-menu.swf
dove_siamo/
This menu for call the page on his directory, what action script I must use?
I'm building a quite large Flex application as our administration tools and I need build in documentation functionality. I want this documentation to be like a wiki and as we're using Google apps I though I'd use Google sites to host the wiki pages (why reinvet the weel...).he problem is that it seem that google site uses some form of iframe javascript breakout script and that when i load the iframe the entire page is loaded with the wiki page.

View 9 RepliesI made 3 seperate animations for my site (the only difference in them is the words used are different). Is it possible for me to make it so that the animations change with each person visiting the site - so lets say one person enters the site and sees the intro animation with (hypothetical) word "welcome" - the second time the site is visited, the visitor sees "willkommen", the third time its "bienvenue". Is that possible? How can I make it?
