I have done work in dreamweaver before but decided to try and move into the flash scene some. Well I'm putting together a multimedia photography site and made a slide show with Flash Slideshow Maker Professional to create a .swf slideshow file. I am using actionscript 2 and have a placeholder with the instance name of empty. So the script I'm using is:
[Code]....
I'm making a site in flash and I have a video in the middle that autoplays when you come on the site. I have used Adobe media encoder to convert a test video to a .flv and just embedded it into the flash. This really increases the filesize and I don't want to wait long everytime I upload the swf to our FTP server.
I know there is a way to make sort of placeholder using getVideo (or something like that), but I didn't manage to make it working.
So I have this flash site, I have a video placeholder in it, that directs to a .flv outside flash, everything works perfectly. But now I want a button, and that when I press it, it goes to the next video. So this is the code I have so far.
ActionScript Code:
stop();
var nc:NetConnection = new NetConnection();

audio from Flash CS3 Video overlapping stopping the FLVPlayback instance (which has an instance name of theVideo) when another button is clicked! How do I stop flv playback when user clicks a navigation button ...
I'm using the attached code to go from the main stage to one subset of .swf files (loaded movies) and I apparently have no problems with overlapping. Hell, the files even seem to unload themselves correctly. Then, when I go to my second subset of .swf files (with the exact same AS3 structure), which has a Flash Video file (made by the FLV Playback component), I get into an overlapping problem associated with the audio.How can I stop, cancel, or unload the audio when the file is clicked away from (the user selects another button on the mainstage)?
i need to do to add more than 1 instance of a movie clip to a slideshow, the actionscipt i have so far is below;
this.createEmptyMovieClip("theScene", 1);
theScene._x = 150;
theScene._y = 100;
objectsInScene = new Array();
focalLength = 500;

I have a third party slideshow instance (SlideShowPro (SSP)) and have used the following code to allow SSP to resize to screen:
import net.slideshowpro.slideshowpro.*;
import flashx.textLayout.formats.BlockProgression;
stage.align = StageAlign.TOP_LEFT;
[Code]....
It all works fine. However, I am trying to put in links on the stage outside of SSP (i.e., Home, Gallery, About, etc.) as shown in this example website [URL]. When I do, the stage is truncated and part of SSP is skewed off the page.
How do I make sure that my stage containing text and SSP is captured as the SWF?
I am not sure how to accomplish what I need. I'm developing an iOS video app. I will package ALL videos with the ipa.I created a net connection and net stream successfully. I'm importing them into an array. They play perfectly. However, I need a way to mask out the main interface. Ideally, I'd like to drop that video into a dynamically called movie clip that has the controls in it. I made one called holder_mc.(There are no controls in it yet.) I cannot seem to get that on screen at the right z-index (not sure if that's the right term). I tried creating an empty movie clip and putting the video in it. That did not work either. This has to be simple.

View 4 RepliesI need to create a flash file with video but at specific frames/times in the video I need an image to appear next to the video. This is the result of a research conference where the speakers were filmed as they talked through their presentation. The flash file needs to show this video alongside the slides from the speakers powerpoint presentation.
I already have the video converted using the media encoder and the slides from powerpoint converted to jpegs.I just need to know how I select a time/frame in the video and presumable generate some actionscript code to load an image at that playback time in the flash file.
A rather clunky version of what I am trying to di can be found at: http:[url]....
I want to convert swf slideshow to video using php / asp.net, how can such thing be achieved , i tried ffmpeg but it discards effects in the slide show.
View 3 RepliesI have a swf file loading over the top of a background graphic. The swf only covers part of the background... the part that I want to animate. My intention was that the background graphic would load quickly (it does) and that's what the visitor would see until the swf file completely loads and shows itself seamlessly over the top of the graphic. It would be seamless to the visitor because the swf image is identical to and matches to the background. So from the visitor's perspective, they would see a static image until the swf loads and then see part of that seemingly same image begin to animate.
However, what happens is that the background image loads and then a big black box (where the swf is loading) appears over the background until the swf file is completely loaded.I have tried setting my swf background to transparent, but that does not work.Does anyone know a way to prevent the black box (of the loading swf) from showing over my background image while the swf file loads?
I am designing a slideshow comprised of photos, video and some animations. I decided to use Flash because I thought it would offer me more flexibility than other options and because I have some experience coding in ActionScript 2.0 (though oddly very little experience designing swf's).
Here's the thing. In frame 1 I want a video to play. I can make that happen using this code, copied straight from the help:

I've been asked to write a standalone slideshow app which supports images (jpg, etc), video (divx, avi) and webpages (embedded html, rss).
I've done some digging and it looks like flash with flash air could be used to produce a standalone app which would run on both windows and Linux.
Before I start this long (and difficult) process, are my assumptions correct?
I have a list of 99 item (something like a phone book) and I will like to sort them in different method. Part of the 99 item might be empty, so the requirement is to move the empty field behind the sorted data in every sorting behavior, here the code we have so far:

I know that one of the most frequently asked questions is on how to resize a movieclip to fit the dimensions of an image.
My question is similar, but kind of inverse;
I need to resize an image to fit in an empty mc.
Code:
loadMovie("image/imageTest.jpg", mc_appImage);
mc_appImage._width = 190;
mc_appImage._height = 225;
There's my current code... the image loads fine, but does not rezie :/ What am I doing wrong? What do I need do to make this work?
I've been having a small problem loading movieClips into a placeholder. Right now I'm dynamicly creating a thumbnail gallery of images, and I want theese thumbnails to be displayed in full size in a placeholder. I just can't figure out how to put the selected movieClip into the placeholder.[code]

is there a way to specify the size of the image placeholder with SWFObject?Basically I want to scale up the size of the image in flashvars.[code]No one knows if this is doable?
View 1 Repliesi want to ask how to make a placeHolder in flash actionscript 3..,what i do need to know is that how to sett a placeholder width and height:confused::confused::confused:
Code:
import flash.display.*;
var placeHolder:Sprite = new Sprite();
[code].....
All of this is actionscript 2, NOT 3. I have my opening page which is one big SWF with flash buttons on it. When this swf loads, I have a action on frame 1 of my timeline that reads:It loads the swf into the movieclip placeholder and plays just fine!My problem now seems to be understanding proper syntax for button actions. My objective is to have each flash button load a different SWF into the placeHolder_mc, but it's not working.I've tried:on (press) {loadMovie("about.swf", "placeHolder");}but it doesn't work at all. I've even tried variations, but I really seem to be overlooking something probably due to lack of knowledge.
View 2 RepliesI'm using swfobject, and in the replacement div I have a message for those who don't have Flash or JS support. The replacement div contains a message like "You don't have Flash player, please download here" - my concern here, is that Google will see and index this message, which is not relevant to the content of the page, and it's going to affect the search ranking.
Is there some way to mark a piece of content to be ignored by Google? My guess is no.
But then how do you go about placing a message like this without having it indexed?
My only idea is to use an iframe with nofollow. But then Google will penalize any site that uses frames, so that's not a good option either.
I've set-up a custom scroll bar from an on-line tutorial. I have put placeholder text (I have proper text to fill in later) into a static text field that is inside a movie clip on the main timeline which can scroll with as2 however only shows 2/3 of the text. I've tried to see if there is a character limit for the field?
View 0 RepliesOk, here's the deal. I want to generate a maximum of 5 childs in a clip called 'placeholder' using a button (placeCloud_1). the childs will 'float' to the top of the stage. when the y=0 the child must be removed (using the function checkPos() ) so i can add another child without exceding the number of 5 childs.

Everything works, except for the removeChild! i've tried removeChild(this) , this.removeChild(this), parent.this.removeChild(this), parent.this.removeChild(mc), placeholder.removeChild(this) etc... and nothing works. When using (this) it throws TypeError: Error #1034: Type Coercion failed: cannot convert global@2f6710d1 to flash.display.DisplayObject.

when using (mc) it throws
ArgumentError: Error #2025: The supplied DisplayObject must be a child of the caller.

Does creating a new instance of an Object that uses an identical name to an older instance, delete the previous instance? Or should the original instance be deleted first? The code uses a ridiculous amount of XML vars. Isn't it less memory intensive to parse the XML and save the properties to an Object, and then delete the XML Object, rather than keep the XML Object around and reference it's child nodes directly? Is it better form to break up a huge XML file (>600lines/3200vars) into smaller chunks?

I did a file/import/video and pointed to a video on my server and this is all on the first frame. On my aa layer I have the following[code]...
As you can see, when the video finishes, it hops to frame 2 and continues to the website. What started happening on a few occasions, is the timeline would randomly jump back to frame 2 for no apparent reason. I'm assuming it's because I didn't remove the instance of the video, or something along those lines? This whole issue on;y started when I introduced the video.
i've got 5 images. i want the following things to happen:
1. the placeholder movie clip automatically tweens to adjust to the image's dimensions.
2. the transition between each image is a la: [URL] -- front page when you enter
3. the images stay on the screen for approx. 5 seconds each.
I have a movie clip that needs to loop inside a movie clip in Flash. Would someone post the code to paste into the ActionScript window? The .flv has no skin on it. I have done this so that I can put the video file outside of the Flash movie.
View 2 RepliesIs it possible to use the FLVPlayback class to play an instance of the Video class? I'm loading the video (which is just an audio track with cue points) in using GreenSocks LoaderMax (along with the rest of my assets) and so have various instances of Video. The FLVPlayback class only accepts a String as its' source. Is there any way to hack it to bypass whatever loading it does and just feed it the video directly?
