View 1 RepliesI know Flash well enough to make my site but know virtually nothing about HTML. I have published my HTML through Flash but the image is always aligned top left and not centred. I want to change the code to make it centre in the browser window but there's pages of the stuff and I'm not sure what's what or what to change.
View 4 RepliesI made a preloader for my single scene movie and although the preloader is about 16k, when placed into frame 1 of the movie and tested, the frame is shown to have about 256k, which is larger than the movie it's loading. I've gone through all the files and made sure that export in frame 1 is not checked and made sure the publish settings also are set to export in frame 1.

View 1 RepliesMy project won't allow me to preview or publish it anymore. It's about 10 megs and the swf was around 2 the last time I could check. It goes to the export/publish panel and the bar fills but then nothing. The application does not crash either and I can continue to work in it.
Other smaller files preview fine.
I could debug this? It's driving me crazy and I really can't afford to lose this project.
I'm making a flash site for a client in AS2/Flash Player 10 and it is about 90% done and 2.X MB big (I can't remember exact size). When it is done it'll probably be 3MB in size (with a preloader of course). Is this too big?

View 11 RepliesI was wondering if anybody could help me out and tell me why my flash site looks different on different size computer screens?
I have built a site in flash and when I preview in html it looks different to how it does on my flash canvas (the text is a different size and takes up a different amount of space than on the original flash document). Then when I publish it and make it live it looks different on different size screens. On my laptop the text all fits in, but when I view it on my desktop the text cuts off, so that the last few lines of each text box is missing? What's going on?
In an effort to reduce the size of my flash site I reduced every single one of the swf movies (17 in total) that it contains. Each minor swf was cut back with about 25%. When publishing the main swf (the actual site) the file size is still 1 mb?

View 14 RepliesI changed from using a text field to a textArea component and now the font size is much smaller.The original text field had the font size set to 10 and Arial, just like I think I am doing with the TextArea but it appears to be coming up at about 3/4 the size it was before.
Code Snippet:
myTF = new TextFormat("Arial", 10, 0xFFFFFF,false);
myText_mc.myTextArea.setStyle("textFormat", myTF);

I need to first express that I'm a fully self-taught Flash designer. No one has ever sat down and tried to explain to me the DOs and DONTs about Flash. I have followed tutorials, books, and anything else I can get my hands on, but never a person. People of Flash seem to be very hard to find, in my personal experience.I am the most comfortable with Photoshop, knowing very little about Illustrator or Fireworks.That said, I have been asked to create a 45KB (yikes!) max file, rotating 3 .jpg images I created from other .jpgs given to me. The images are usually large, so I am given room to compress them for a 300px x 250 px stage.
However, these images are always my biggest culprit for my huge file size. I'll import them in, making them into Graphic Symbols, but nothing seems to prevent the enourmous file size.When given the raw images, I would throw them into Photoshop, make the files the correct 300x250 size. Then I have tried: saving the image at the best resolution in .jpg and .png form, and then I tried saving the images as low-as-I-could-stomach quality. I hardly see a difference with file size when they are imported into Flash and used.I was told to use Fireworks's Optimize function, which I did, but it made my .swf even biggerWhen I have my Flash piece all set up/animted as I want, but I need to replace the bitmap(.jpg/.png) photos, I will:right click on the bitmap to get properties, "upload" the new image to be used, adjust the Quality, having "Allow smoothing" unclicked.
I understand I should make as much of the graphics in Flash as I can, instead of Import, but I am primarily given photographs to use.Seeing what my previous peers have done is mind-puzzling, but they are not around, so I cannot ask them for their advice. Their files are under 45KB and look sharp and amazing:[URL]
So, after just being dumped on from a great height by our development company I need to create an entire site in flash with login and dynamic addition of content etc etc.. What would be the recommended maximum size (pixel wise) for a flash site... what I have here is 1600px sq? It's mostly database driven so shouldn't lag too much from a point of view of file size, I'm just concerned because of the short deadline and I find this kind of large size wise to do 100% in flash..
View 10 RepliesI embedded some characters using embed tag in flash CS3(font.swf). 2 separate swf(a.swf,b.swf) loads the font.swf on runtime. These 2 swf are being called from a container(parent) swf. It looks find locally and not time consuming to load. But when I view it from a server, computer lags after a while....(all file sizes are relatively small.around 160kb). What needs to be done in order to prevent computer from lagging? Is it better to load font.swf not in separate swf but directly in container(parent).swf?
View 1 RepliesI am developing a flash based website using mxml. My monitor's resolution is 1280x768 and is widescreen. The problem is while it appears properly in my screen it doesn't appear properly in others.
-Let scrollbars take care of it : If the screen is 14 inch screen with 800x600 resolution it appears zoomed in. So that's a problem
-Get screen resolution and resize using scaleX and scaleY : The graphic components will get resized but fonts give problem.
I've been trying to do this for awhile, and I've read the boards. I've seen a few options as to how to do this, but some of them do not explain how the css/js etc work, and I just don't understand that stuff enough to go it alone.
What I'm trying to do : Create a flash site that only 'downsizes' when the browser is too small to view it. I don't want it to upscale/upsize.
For example. The movie is 1000 x 800 . If a viewer has a viewable area that is less than 1000x800 the movie will scale [ the way it does when published at 100% ]. BUT if the viewer say has a 23' cinema screen, the movie will not get bigger than 1000x800.
I'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 1 RepliesI was wondering about MC and hey can help to lag a game out. I set up an advanced class system so i don't have to use MC to simulate walls, all i use isthe x,y,width and height. Well anyway since i don't need MC anymore I was wondering if there is a way to attach Graphics instead of MC cause a Graphics file size is relatively small than that of a graphic, I think. If anyone could tell me thats true and show me a way to attach graphics that would be nice. I haven't tried it yet but maybe if I exported the graphic from the library imihgt be able to call its name, but it doesn't have an instance name so im stuck.

View 3 RepliesI'm a bit of a newbie, wondering how this scaling effect is possible. See www.sagmeister.com - when you scale your browser window, the entire site interactively shrinks or enlarges to fit. How is this done with Flash MX? Is it a publishing option or an actionscript or what?

What I want is to create a 2d/flat site wich is larger than the normal screen size... for easy viewing I want the site to move related to the mouse movement so that when you drag your mouse left the entire site kinda moves to the right, and by that permits the viewer to browse the site without using the scroll bars. It should work like the example in this link, but not only horizontal, but also vertical...
