I'm going to design an electronic card later in Flash (CS3 & CS 4) and I wonder if anyone has a link to any decent tutorials (or tips 'n' tricks)? I'm particularly keen to creat a rolling snowfall.
Also, I've going to create a digital display for a stand at a tradeshow. Is Flash the best medium for this (or would it be better in something like Premiere)?
for a game I'm working on, I want to make a 'digital display', like a digital clock for example. Every character exists of 7 lines which are either on or off. This picture will demonstrate what I mean.
Currently, I've got a DigitalDisplay class that extends Sprite, which holds a couple of instances of the Digit class that extends Sprite, which in turn holds 7 instances of the DigitLine class, which extends Shape, in which I draw one such line with the drawing API. This would mean that one DigitalDisplay holds 8 Sprite, which all hold 7 Shapes, so that's 8 Sprites and 56 Shapes. This is a bit overkill I think.
Thing is, I want control over every 'DigitLine'. During transition, when the text on the display changes, I want every lines to go on and off in a random pattern, slowly forming the new text. Would this be possible with another less extensive solution? The only thing I could think of was this:
Instead of every Digit object I'd have an Array, which instead of filled with DigitLine objects is filled with Arrays. However, then I'd only have 1 graphics object, which mean I'd need to clear() it every time something changes.
I tried the digital clock tutorial on Kirupa, but it doesn't display the correct time, For example if my cpu clock says 3:00 PM, Saturday, November 13, 2004 the tutorial clock says 15:00 AM, Saturday, December 13, 2004.

View 2 RepliesI would like to create a digital time which only show min and sec. This time is use in a game in order to test the users speed and accuracy. When the user finished the game, the time will stop and then have to check the time user has spent to finish the game. So, if the user manage to finish the game before 10 min, will get 100 points. If is between 10 and 15 min, will get 90 points and so on.

View 4 RepliesI've done two Flash animations, and both, when I use the Simulate Download function, show what appears to be a digital artifact in the upper left hand corner. It looks like a series of small squares or rectangles briefly fluttering from left to right.As far as I can tell, this doesn't show up in the actual .swf. Has anyone else seen this? Is it a sign that I've done something wrong, or should I just ignore it?

View 1 Repliesi've got Flash installed and i use it to create a fancy thing. a .swf. A regular swf.When i open the swf straight from a folder, it opens in "Flash Player".not in any browser.When I send the swf to my boss, or anyone that does not have the Flash Application installed, it doesn't quite work right.They DO have the latest browser flash player plugins installed and it works if they drag the swf into the browser.BUT how can we get it to play stand alone, the same as I can do. It seems you could download the Flash Player for the desktop.
View 1 RepliesI have recently been having problems with my swf file. When i export it by hitting "command enter" it seems to export fine. But then I realized that when i exit flash and click to view the swf it opens up in flash instead of the flash player as it normally does. The other implications of this is that when I send the swf file to someone who doesn't have flash (but is able to play swf files) they are not able to open the files because it wants to open up in flash.The file is a simple web banner that is limited to 40kb.

Look into creating a Flash "Projector" file. It's an exe, executable file and can self-contain the player you need to play the Flash without opening the browser.In the "Publish" setings, check the projector box. Here's a link to one tutorial but their are lots more, Google "Flash Projector files"[URL]
I have a stick figure fighting game I'm currently working on. I've animated the moves and the walking, ect. But now I wanna make it so the players can only stand on one mc, GameArea.I tried the script that came with part of the tutorial, but nothing happen:[code]If this way isn't a possible, then I'd just like to limit the players on how high/low they can move.
View 4 RepliesI am a designer using InDesignCS4 to export a 16 page document as a SWF file with a page curl page transition. I am also exporting a static footer bar that holds a client logo and website address that acts as a hyperlink to the client's website. I currently place these 2 SWF files in Dreamweaver, 16pager above the footer, 1 above the other, and save as .html, upload to an ftp site to get the whole thing to work as a FlippingBook page curl Digital Magazine with static footer bar and hyperlink that directs to the clients website to download the corresponding PDF and print.
I am no Flash developer, but what I would LIKE to do is export from InDesignCS4 as an Adobe Flash CS4 Pro (XFL) document, open up in Flash where I know each spread imports as its own frame, save as a new .fla file, create some great Text effects with actionscript, which I CAN do. But what I can't do is export this as a SWF file AND retain the page curl transition it would have had as a SWF from InDesign??? Is there a way, despite handing over to 'my' Flash developer to encode (according to every video tutorial I have seen on the subject!), where I can 'stitch these page frames together to export my frames from flash with page curl, have the footer bar independently at the bottom, have the whole thing scale as one flash animation but also include some features such as print, zoom and 'goto' page field? At the moment all this appears to be alot of coding work.
I subscribe to a bunch of magazines in digital format. They attempt to replicate a print mag onscreen, but I find their "specail features" annoying, so I like to download a PDF for offline viewing. For the last month or two, every time I try to print to a PDF from one of these digital magazines, I get a gray screen saying Flash has crashed. If I try to download the PDF, a new tab opens in my browser but the PDF doesn't load, the screen remains black. Reloading the page, closing and restarting the browser doesn't help.

View 1 RepliesI have in a previous project published a game as a standalone app and run it full screen. It would allow users to put their info in for high scores.
Now i am working on another game that will be published as a standalone app. It will need to be full screen and have an entry form at the end for high scores. It does not seem to allow the keyboard to enter text in an input box. Is this true?
Note, this is not an swf played through a browser, but an actual .exe generated from Flash CS5. If this is true, is there a workaround. I need if full screen with keyboard input.
I've created a very large scale Flash game and have apparently had a massive oversight - the flash portal websites wishing to host my game need it in one stand alone .swf. However, the problem is I load everything externally. I load the level data from .plist files, the images from .png and the sound from .wav, all located in folders in the .swf directory. They're loaded through Loader's and URLRequest.
Is there any way I can embed these so it will run as a stand alone? Preferably an easier way than individually writing embed lines, as there are 1000s of files.
Does Adobe offer a flash stand-alone player that does not require a browser to play swf files ?

I am just wondering that what are the core reasons behind using Flash Media server for implementing IPTV, wheras we have some efficient devices such as following digital tuner boxes http:[url]....We can get the MPEG-TS stream and send it to this box and it can play the TV for us. Is it not simple? I think that I misunderstanding some thing, why people use FMS for IPTV implementation.
