I want to get adobe flash to make animations at home, but im not sure what version to get or where to get it. I don't need the best version and i dont want to spend that much. Thank
View 2 RepliesI am a web designer and I do like to hand code using jquery however, I think it would be much faster to use gui applications like flash to create animations especially on the fly as well as support for writing and editing source code.
View 1 RepliesSo I am doing a flash intro page, but the intro becomes the home page, as in all the pieces come together to create the Flash home page, so that there is just one file for the home page that includes the intro from Flash..how do I make it so that all the parts on the page stay there indefinitely, because right now after a certain amount of time, they disappear due to using the timeline in Flash.
View 4 RepliesI have a home.swf that is inside home.html.inside home.swf there is a btn with the following
cinema_btn.onRelease = function() {loadMovieNum("video_main.swf", 0);
inside video_main.swf is the following
loadMovieNum("video1/reels.swf",1);
the idea is to load reels.swf in level1 on top of video_main.swf in level 0 why reels.swf size looks much larger even though all swf's are 900 x 800?

i have a menu, that works with a xml file.the xml has the specific code that triggers the .as file:[code]when i press the button home for example, the home will load...then i press the button about, and it loads as well, but the home still playing on the back.how do i make the content for home to disapear when another button is clicked? because the code works for all the buttons, it has to be something generic that would work for the event of anybutton being clicked.

View 1 RepliesI'm trying to make a loading bar with Adobe Flash CS4, and have completed all the graphics and labeled them with their appropriate instance names. My problem is that I am completely new to Flash, and have limited knowledge with respect to writing action codes. My plan is to get my loading bar to be never-ending, so that it counts up from 1-99%, then keeps going to 99.01, 99.02, 99.03...etc, never getting to 100%. And then when it reaches 99.99%, it just loops back to the start. Here is a screenshot of my template with the necessary instance names indicated:
I also didn't attach any .swf or .fla file for the script to actually load. So the ofBytes_txt and totalBytes_txt would have to be purely fictional. As as a result, the green loading bar graphic would load relative to ofBytes_txt divided by totalBytes_txt.
Is there a way to make state transitions/animations of a fl.control states - button for example ?All I can do now is change the skin design and that's it, I can't animate between states like I can with Flash Builder skins. So is there a way to do that, any technique or I have to create a button component from scratch?
View 3 RepliesI've only used flash for 5 months now. As you expect, i'm a super novice. I've been trying to follow the books, tutorials i fould on web and was able to make some nice animations,buttons and stuff. But i'm not a programmer, i never been one and i just don't think i got the brains for it. I just know a little bit. Like i said, it's only been 5 months so i only know how to change other's script to suit mine, i can't create any complicated from top of my head. My question is...do I HAVE TO be an expert to make websites with Flash? After all, i'm only learning Flash so I can make interactive websites. I'm not looking forward to making games or drawing boards or anything. Just websites. How much knowledge of Actionscript(or XML) would I need to make a flash only website?

View 1 RepliesI've followed the Adobe instrunctions on how to create an app without windows (link).
The gist is that you can do this by hiding or closing the original nativeWindow and creating a new one with theUTILITY or LIGHTWEIGHT property.
Unfortunately, when an application is launched more than once, the new nativeWindow is created again with each launch. This is highly undesirable.
I've tried setting variables with the launch of the application, but it seems like these are not accessible by the new instances of the application. The weird thing is: AIR apps are not supposed to have multiple intances (should be impossible)! And there actually is only one instance according to the windows task manager and the fact that there is only one systemtray icon.
i've been trying to make a presentation which is build out of several animations located on the main timeline.I wanted to use frame labels to navigate back and forth in the timeline, so I created back/next buttons and used switch/case code on them based on the frame labels.each animation has a label and a stop(); command at the end of it, right before the next animation.the code for the next button looks like this:
next_btn.addEventListener(MouseEvent.CLICK, click_handler);
function click_handler(event_object:MouseEvent)
{
[code]....
problem is at some point it stops working. i've added the "default: play();" code to try and fix it but it only goes so far.
I want to do is a simple transition that allows to me start some function (at the external swf!) to dismount the LOADED content. I'd like to change the external contents with intros and "outros" located on their own timelines.. It's a simple logic, but I dont know how to manage that.. Everytime I try some simple, it never happens.
