Flash Intro - Reverted Back To Originally Started With (800x600)?
Feb 20, 2010
I bought a flash intro, I dont want it to be an intro, I want to use it as a banner (995x200). I eventually managed to get all the elements right, I published it and preview it, it looked well and what I wanted.The problem is, when I added this new banner to my website and preview it, it still looked well,I got my website ready and published everything but the whole thing just reverted back to what I originally started with (800x600)
I have a layer called "home_movie" and on that later on the end frame is a movie clip that plays, what i want to happen at the end of the animation is it to send the user back to the frame above they started at. which is layer: home_movie, frame id: main_movieopt but its not working.
I have created a preloader for a video intro, with a skip button. This preloader is loaded inside the index.html file.When the user skips the intro video, he is forwarded to another page. This part works great.The problem is that if you ever go back to the index.html file after you skip the intro the flash file recognizes that the video is already downloaded, because it is partially downloaded because it begins to download before the user can press the 'Skip' button. I imagine this has to do with the fact that a partial file with the same name exists in cache.When the user clicks on the 'Skip' button I close the loader that was loading the video file like this:
loader.close();
Is this the problem? I thought that Flash automatically compared files.Is there any way to compare the file in cache on the users computer and have the file either resume or redownload if the file sizes don't correspond?
I have a movie clip that I imported into flash, used a skin and have a nice little player for this website intro. I want to proceed to the sites home page upon completion of the movie. Searched but the best I could come up with was;
I have made a number of Flash banners and I save them and everything is good but when I open them, some of the movie clips have reverted to a previous state. So I need to resize and redo thsoe movieclips. I make one banner and then save as new file and resize it. It is really annoying.. I am on P.C. and have all the current updates installed.
If I have an FLV that I've output as SWF with skin to have embedded into an HTML page, and now a 'skip intro' is needed - though I'd have to make note of the actual time or keyframe in which the intro completes...How is this possible? Clearly, a button would need to be added for that kind of interactivity?
I reverted the admin console account on a new setup of Media server 4 and it will not let me connect or login using the "administrator" login? Does it set the password to some defaut? This is all new to me as this is my first install of this server. How can create a new admin login? How can I change to login?
I have no idea where to get started with Flash. Could someone point me in the right direction? I've found a lot of websites with mini-tutorials, but I can't find out anything about compilers or beginners guides or anything.
I've downloaded a prebuilt gallery .fla (570x350) from this lesson I don't understand where to fix it to adapt on my site.I've copy the fotograms and the AS3 code from the original file and paste on the mine(I've used only 10images), it works, but I don't know where I can fix this problems:1) the gallery is over the menu and I would like to fit in the center2) if I click on the image (randomly) the result is the same, I've the pic over the menu, and I would like to center
i am trying to resize externally loaded swf`s that are 800x600 to fit in a preview window that is 124x93.. everything works great as long as the external swfs have a MC that fills the stage (i.e that is 800x600)
I am a web designer and have worked with html, php, javascript and css.I want to try something new and that is have a homepage as flash, on this flash page there will be pictures say like sport, clicking on this sport picture will bring the visitor to the ("normal html") sport page. I may have a few other categories like this.Here is a link to something like what I would like to achieve: URL...I would just like to have something like the above link, of course without all the "About" Contact pages etc, just the center part of the page, with the sport and other links.My question is how do I go about making something like this in adobe flash?
I would like to learn a bit about using actionscript. I currently know zero about flash and such, so I kind of want to learn a bit so I am not so lost when it comes to this subject. Could someone post some really simple tutorials on how to get started. Something as simple as a Hello World would be fine. At this moment I don't even know the difference between Actionscript and flash.
I want to create flash website, with flex, but i don't really know how it works so can you make it clear for me.
1) First of all i want to know how URL is working with flash, because every time i load new URL will flash website be reloaded? How to solve this problem, if it is problem?
2)I want to use "Swfobject" with my flash website so this website will be Search Engines friendly and does this mean that i can easily use Adsense or Adbrite in my website?
I am trying to figure out how to stop a user from resizing the page below 800x600. I have found how to load a new url or swf when below a certain resolution but is it possible to load a frame or movie when the resolution is resized below 800x600 and goes back to the previous frame if resized back above 800x600? I have symbols attached to the corners of the stage. Resizing looks terrible.
At _level0, external movies are loaded through a movieclip using loadMovie("externalmovie.swf","targetmc");
1. Obtain the external movies' resolution/dimension (e.g. 800x600 px) using actionscript.
2. Assume the movies have different dimensions and are smaller than or equal to _level0's dimensions. If they are smaller, you have to scale up the movie until it reaches the largest size possible, to fit into _level0's dimensions. Again, the external movies are loaded using a target mc and not using levels
3. Note: Remember that when movies are loaded through target MC, they inherit the properties of that mc, so if the size of the mc is 600x600, the external movie would be so too, even if it were 800x600px . This means that you may not do a direct [AS]MC._xscale = 200;[/AS] to it.
* The _level0 movie will serve as a master swf where the different external movies will load into, and consecutively play (one at a time), automatically (ergo, without having to manually open and quit and open and quit the movies).
What is the shortest path between zero (ie no flash related development software on my computer or information about where to obtain it or get started) to running a "hello world" ActionScript? I'm hoping for an answer that gives step by step instructions about exactly what software is needed to get started, an example of some "hello world" code, and instructions for compiling and running the code. I've spent more time than I think should be necessary researching this question and not found much information. Hopefully this question will be found by programmers like me who want to get started with Flash/Flex/ActionScript (After my morning of researching I still don't even know what terminology to use so I'll just throw it all out there).
I was wondering whether it is possible to start Flash CS4 (or any other Flash version) authoring using a command. The project is related to a virtual supermarket. The client needs to delete existing products (jpg) from its web site and replace them with new ones. Basically I have a swf file which has one jpg file in each keyframe. What I want to do is to start Flash, access some keyframes delete some jpg files and load new ones and generate the new swf file. However, I want to do this automatically, ie; using a scheduler. Would Flex solve this problem?
My original movie is 800x600 and my external swf is 700x525... I'm using the following script on a keyframe... loadMovieNum("123.swf", 1); ... and under normal circumstances this would work fine... however... I need the 700x525 external swf to retain its size in the center of the 800x600 original movie... right now it's edge to edge and showing what's going on 'offstage' in the external swf! What scripting am I missing? I'm using Flash 8 on a Mac.
I have Mac Pro OSX 10.58 - CS 4 Creative Suite.I have been using Flash to produce projector files totally fine for months. However, today when I publish a Mac projector file I have come across a problem. Flash publishes a .app projector file OK, but, when I open it, it appears in the dock as if it were open but I don't see anything.
Any projector files I produced prior to today still play fine. But any projector files I have created today have the previously mentioned problem. I have tried creating a totally new FLA and publishing from that incase it was the FLA I was publishing from was to blame - same problem.
I have reinstalled Flash, but the error persists.Today I also installed new software. I installed the Developer tools because I wanted to use PackageMaker. I also installed Xray. I have removed Xray incase that was at fault - but the problem still persists.
I have a GUI using Flex. I have a condition like i need to execute some command line arguments in the local machine and get the results back or output back to a textbox area. How can i do a button on submit, execute command in the local machine and return the output?Command to execute example:
echo logfile.log | grep username
Code:
button1.onRelease = function () { // in this computer, it will now run a command, please wait. }
I have this world map (.swf file) that I want on my home page(black background). It's up and working fine, but it flashes a white blank map for about 2 seconds when it first loads and then it goes away. It looks very ugly on a black background and gives off a sense of "cheapness". Anyway, it has got to go. I purchased the world map and they don't offer access to the original .fla file. So basically I want to know how to cover up the first few seconds of the video with black and then have the black cover disappear and let the flash file do its thing.
kinda having some trouble with flash movie I created. It keeps wanting to loop and play over and over. I just want it to play once in my html page and then after the first play, change into another html (iframe). Any ideas? I'm using dreamweaver and adobe flash.URL...
im trying to make this intro and ive searched a bunch of tutorials, but i cant seem to find what im looking for..maybe im not searching the correct term, this is what im trying to do... i have a map and i want the dashes to appear one after another in sequential order so it shows movement.
I've created a flash intro for a website and I have it setup so that in the first frame of the intro it opens a popup window, and then in the last frame it opens the actual site in the same window as the intro. Right now when it hits the last frame it opens up the popup window again also! Ack! The code I've used for opening the popup window is:var url:URLRequest = new URLRequest("player.html"); navigateToURL(url, "_blank");
the code used in the last frame to move to the site is:var urlReq:URLRequest=new URLRequest('index2.html');navigateToURL(urlReq,'_self');
I'm guessing that it has something to do with re-using the same variable name. I tried changing the code in different ways on the second window opening but still had the same result, or broke it opening up any pages at all. I've also tried moving the two code snippets to different layers. I'm thinking there might be a few ways around this too such as if there is a way to trigger the popup window, and then have the intro wait x seconds and then opens the main site or something, but I have no clue how to go about doing any of this. have the site in question in a temp location currently and it can be viewed here: [Url]
Anybody can tell me how to do this? after the intro in flashcs4 go directly to a website. I made an intro in flash and after the end of the clip need go to a html doc. I've to use ActionScript right?
