I'm trying to make my own photography website using flash. I have a basic outline/template or what I want it to look like and all of the action script to connect the pictures but I'm missing the main things. The pictures. I have html embedding codes for all of the images and would like to use those somehow instead of just having to manually copy and resize my pictures into the actual flash document (because that takes up a lot of space and makes loading longer, I think).
I am new to flash, but the main reason I got it was so I could create an object to put on a webpage. I want to be able to create a revolving website list, with pictures of the sites in the list, like on the main page of this site: [URL]
how they get the pictures to fade in and out on the click of one of their buttons?I have been trying for a very long time and I really dont know where to start. This is the website with the animation: [URL]
I have what I hope is a fairly straight forward question that I hope you can answer if you write code with a Mac or are at least familiar with the process on a Mac? The person I have been working with to create my photography website uses a PC. Here is the problem. I am trying to use my Mac in order to create frames so that I can add 5 more images to a portfolio that presently has 15 images.
The code is in an index.fla file. If I want to create a new frame in the index.fla, let's say LOAD CODE 381 and want to use the same text that is already present in LOAD CODE 380 but with a few edits, I have no trouble going to the Action-Movie Clip and finding LOAD CODE 380 in the left hand column. The problem is, on a Mac, how do I create frame LOAD CODE 381 and then how do I copy and paste the text from LOAD CODE 380 into LOAD CODE 381? It looks like on a PC one can open LOAD CODE 380 in the Action-Movie Clip, highlight the text then right click on the red rectangular box in the timeline. By doing so (on a PC) one sees a drop down menu that gives the option to "copy key frame". What is the equivalent of the "copy key frame" on a Mac? I can see where on the Mac you can go to Edit >copy. Is this the equivalent of "copy key frame" on a PC? If so, once I "copy" the text how do I create the new LOAD CODE 381 so that I can paste the text into the new frame?
I have a client that I created FLV files for. how to create SWF files so he can embed them onto his web pages. I explained that Premiere only creates FLV and F4V files. My understanding is that he needs Flash Pro CS5 to create the SWF files. Is this correct? I have been all over the web looking for the workflow for embedding video files like they do on you tube. I'm a videographer dammit, not a web designer!
I have created a SWF file using Flash that loads an FLV file on my local development machine.When publishing the SWF file and generating the appropriate HTML, I can successfully load the video by opening the generated HTML page that Flash creates.However, when placing the generated HTML code in my View,the Flash is loading, but the video is not playing.I think it's a reference error to the location of the FLV file, but I've tried every combination I can think of.I placed the SWF and FLV in the corresponding View folder where I want the video to load, but to no avail.
I am currently trying to make a Flash website for my cousin's business, and his website should feature a portfolio gallery to display the work he has done (He is a contractor). I am trying to use the SlideshowPro plug-in which generates a very nice-looking Flash gallery that is about 50 times nicer than the one he is using on his website at the moment. One of the big things I like about SSP is that it offers a full-screen picture viewing mode, which would allow potential customers of his to see work he has done better than they are currently seeing.
However, whenever I publish the website to test it and make sure everything is working okay, I go to the Portfolio page and test SSP in full screen. Once I come back from full screen, the gallery remains on top of the screen on every other page of the website. The audio also does this (It can play audio in the background while looking through the galleries you set up). Since I am somewhat new to Flash, I am not sure why it is doing this. Perhaps someone else has encountered this and has a fix or workaround that I could use.
if I'm able to load a swf that is already embeded in a website into a new AIR/FLASH application. I'm trying to do a screensaver mode when there is no mouse activities in configurator.swf. Is this possible?
For example: I have a website that has a swf loaded in it, and I want to load that swf file in another of my AIR/FLASH application. The website link is [URL] (this link is just an example, it will not work). configurator.swf is the swf file that is embeded in the webpage. The SWF file will communicate with a server to retrieve the latest information. And I want to load the swf that is in the website link to an AIR/FLASH application that I'm going to create now...
Can I embed the swf into an AIR/FLASH application? If I can, should I use AIR or FLASH projector? If not, are there any workaround?
I have a very simple problem but I just couldn't solve it by myself . I found a contact form on this website.(I can't send the link because it says I need to post 50 threads . But it is Jesse Stratford's contact form tutorial.) But I don't know how to embed this contact form on my website. My website is flash and I am working on Adobe Flash CS 5.
I'm building a website in flash 8. I have significantly reduced the file size of my pictures for the website with Irvanfiew. (for instance a 75kb picture down to 24kb) the quality is good, but the shadow that Irfanview use is rubbish. If I import the picture AS IS without shadow and convert the picture into a movie and add a shadow, will that add a lot of kb's to my overall website?
I'm having two problems. First of all, the gallery loads all pictures at once. The more pictures in the XML file, the slower they all load. Secondly, I wanted the pictures to scroll in its _y coordinate, similar to Sugar Rhyme's website portfolio (see url]...).
[URL] Take a look at that website. See whe you rollover one of the pictures, the other pictures fade out...Well how can I do that? I've tried some swapDepths techniques but it gets a bit confusing.
I want to use a flash preloader for my php website. I have seen some javascript examples; but I want something attractive and cool. So I want use flash preloader which will show the percentage of the website loaded.My website is kinda heavy(with lot of images). It looks bad when the contents load. So I want to show a flash preloader while the site loads.
am i publishing the movie incorrectly? It works great when I preview the flash file (cntrl+enter), but after I publish it and insert it into the html (in dreamweaver), the file shows up and animates perfectly, but when clicked, no link... It doesn't do anything
I have 2 websites both built entirely in flash.My problem is that I have created a button on 1 of the sites that has to link to a particular scene and frame within a different flash website.
I currently am working off of a flash template. In the header of the flash template are a few pictures that show up like a slidshow. I was wondering how I add more pictures for the slideshow.
I am trying to get each of the following pictures in my flash file to link to different webpages. I have tried a bunch of different things, and can't quite get it to work right. I have put different urls on the images, but when I click on them they all go to that first url.
How come that my animations allways flicker/chop. I want a pictures to move from left to right, kind of a slideshow ye. But it flickers all the time, and it is anoying. They all move 1px each frame, and the width of the scene is around 900px. It really flackers no matter what fps I pick
how can I use pictures in flash without losting any picture quilty...I mean i don't want to compress them but when i do my site doest work right so I want to put them on there without compressing them.
I have several pictures of my son's colleagues and i'd like to create a movie which displays all the pictures. The idea i had was to start with one and transform into another and so on... It was fun if the actual picture distorts and becames the next pic.
I am in CS5 on an iMac. I am a beginner at Flash and trying to learn how to do specific tasks asked of me by my supervisor just by using the Adobe forums. This is what they want me to do: Show am image of a postcard that we sell, then have it morph into a poster (much larger) with a customizable area highlighted. I have learned how to put the postcard image on the stage and motion tween it to a larger version of itself, but I need that larger version to actually be a different image. Is there a way I can do this in CS5?
I have a flash app (deployed as Air or regular app for iOS) which displays pictures.
It has to work offline, so I need to bundle my pictures with the flash app. I wrote a script to download all pics from my server to a specific folder before deploying the flash app. Currently, I remove all existing pictures from the FLA and add the new ones, but I was wondering whether there is a way to define a system folder for flash and it will take whatever exists there during the deployment process?
So basically all I'll have to do will be to run my script (to update the folder with the new pics) and recompile the FLA.
I've made a gallery, that loads pictures using XML and fades them in and out using Tweener. the gallery can be seen here: [URL] so far the XML and the loop that fades the pictures in and out works fine.so far, so good.the actionscript to all of this can be seen here
Code: stop(); //var var xmlloader:URLLoader = new URLLoader(); var xml:XML;
[code]....
but I've not been able to make it work so; i'd like tips on how I can place my pictures beneath an already existing mask in my Flash.
I am creating a flash slideshow that i want to use XML to import the pictures. I have the XML set up and need help writing the actionscript to get the pictures in the right place.
I have one large box in the centre of the screen where my slideshow will be happening and want smaller boxes down the bottom which will allow me to select pictures to go straight to when veiwing the slideshow.All pictures are named image1.jpg, image2.jpg and so on.
This the the project in a nutshell. The website has inventory that has three pictures for each piece of inventory that's paths are stored in a SQL database. Now when a piece of inventory is clicked it goes to the page that the slideshow will be located. Here is where the 3 pictures will be playing in a loop. The problem is I don't know how I'm going to get to pictures loaded into the .swf. XML is out of the question because I have 143,000 pieces of inventory and I don't want to have that many XML files. Is there a way I can access the database directly and pull the paths from there?
