I've finished my flash file. I created it with Flash CS3. I didn't use any scripting, dynamic stuff, etc.. It's a simple flash movie of vectors/tweening.I want to insert it in my homepage, but when I publish it, I get quite a lot of code. I've been looking around & I see some sites that have all this javascript & some that don't.Could someone help me identify the correct way to embed my .swf file? I'm not a fan of .js since it doesn't work if it's turned off in a user's browser. I want my .swf file to play as long as the visitor has Flash 8 or higher installed. And if they don't, I want to display a .png instead.[code]
I have a simple gallery that pull photos from folders, dislays thumbnails and then when user clicks on a thumbnail it displays larger image. Here is a link to a gallery[url]...
Bellow is action script for flash. where I need to insert this line creation in script and what command I need to insert? I would like to control the line color since I might play around what is the best color.[code]...
produce some very simple checkboxes to insert into an elearning program.The Checkboxes he created before he left are apparently overly complex and refer to _root and/or _level0, which is a no-no for the elearning software.I've done some web searches to see what I can find but honestly I haven't felt this stumped since first year calculus.
Yesterday I made a nice little flash movie (a picture slideshow) and today I've looked a a few tutorials explaining how to add my new flash image. To keep it easy I made a single page, using Dreamweaver, just to display this one movie. Everytime I ruin in in dreamweaver (F12) nothing appears. Similarly, anytime I look in the properties and press play my flash image disappears.

Sometime you may need to insert an existing Flash movie to your PowerPoint presentation to enhance your slideshow. In general, there are 2 ways to do this.
1. Insert Flash movie into PowerPoint from PowerPoint control toolbox.
1) Copy your SWF file to the same folder where the blank or existing presentation was saved.
2) Open the existing PowerPoint presentation and go to the slide where you would like to insert a Flash.
3) Right click Tools from PowerPoint menu and enable Control Toolbox.
4) Click More Controls (bottom right icon) on Control Toolbox. Choose Shockwave Flash Object from the dropdown list.
5) Your cursor will change into a cross, hold mouse left button and drag to draw a rectangle. The rectangle is where the Flash will be located, you can adjust its size and location later.
6) Right-click the inserted Shockwave Flash control, and then click Properties from the pop-up menu.
7) Within the movie option, type the name of the movie without any path (since it is saved within the same folder as the presentation). Make sure that the Playing property is set to True.
2. Insert Flash movie into PowerPoint from FlashPoint.
1) Download and install FlashPoint,[URL]
2) Open an existing PowerPoint presentation, you will find FlashPoint button on PowerPoint menu (usually next to the Help option on PowerPoint menu)
3) Click FlashPoint button and select Insert Flash movie from the flyout menu.
4) Browse and specify where the target flash movie was located. Click Open to import it to the slide.
3. Can the inserted Flash movie also be captured when turn the whole PowerPoint to a single Flash movie for web distribution?
Yes, FlashPoint is a powerful PowerPoint to Flash converter, the flash inserted in original PowerPoint will be extracted and re-created into the final Flash movie accordingly.
I have a flash mp3 player that I want to embed in a page and I need to insert the data of two external .xml files in an action inside the first frame (there are some server limitations that don't allow reading of external xml, txt and js files). The action I have now is:
Code: if (!_root.playlisturl) { _root.playlisturl = "playlist.xml"; } if (!_root.infourl) { _root.infourl = "info.xml"; }
so, what I want to do is paste the contents of those two .xml files inside my Flash movie somewhere so the above script accesses them directly and does not have to call outside files. Is there a tutorial somewhere that outlines this procedure? I know that this is the contrary from what .xml is used for but I can't do much now..
We have a site that comprises mainly of an embeded flash object containing navigation controls. All I want is to insert a small .swf movie that will play like an intro scene to the website before the main .swf loads for the site itself. All this means is I want to call up 1 flash object, play it through and then replace it with another once finished. This seems to be a relatively simple desire but after a couple of hours worth of forum-trawling.
Any way to prevent a simple mc from slowing my main movie. As you will see, I uploaded 2 exact versions of the same movie but the first has an extra mc with a simple rotation of a shape in a 30 frame tween. and on the other that mc is not animated. The rotating mc is the light rays behind the purple spintop. And you will notice on the animated rays version, that the whole movie along with other mc's slow down. Some computers more than others. You'll notice the difference comparing the 2 movies if you wait for the flying gadget to appear.
Here is the link with the 2 examples: [URL] (The rays_mc is a star shaped graphic symbol in flash vectors, not bitmap) I've tried rotating the "rays_mc" via: 1. tween with 30 frames 2. Frame by frame with 10 frames 3. Using the _rotate parameter with onEnterFrame 4. I've thought that maybe the gradient fill was causing that slowdown, so I tried a solid fill but it was the same. And all of them result in the same outcome. I don't understand why such a simple mc slows down the whole thing.
I've remarked on the web that many clips are precede by an advert. Does this advert is added in the code? Or, there is a way to tell the player to play first, the advert, and secondly the movie?
I need to create a movie from a photoshop file that pops up upon entering a site I work for. I was wondering the best way to do this. The movie does not need any buttons or interactivity. It just needs to show a simply process of going through necessary steps within the site. I know how to insert check marks shown below, I just don't know how to subtly highlight each box as if it was being scrolled over. Below is the file I need to turn into a flash movie Attachments: pop up trnasition1.jpg (131.6 K)
If I am intruding here with a silly beginner questions I apologize. I am new to Flash.

how to create a simple preloader for a flv movie in AS2?and have combined Apple Motion content to some of the pages under portfolio (web, tech and more).I am using progressive download directly from a flv , so it is not working on a timeline with frames so therefor my normal scripts are not working.
In many cases the video is choppy.The site is hosted with Fatcow, (shared hosting) and getting not much more than 75 mps data transfer rate.I am using comcast and getting 30 mbps download speed, and most of the time it runs smooth on my computer.Does anyone have good experience with using a flash media server for video based content?[url]...,
I wonder if anyone could help with a multiple error message problem I'm getting? I've made a very simple movie that doesn't use any external classes - all it does is animate a series of movie clips (it's real eye-candy stuff). There are a couple of 3D transformations, but apart from that all it uses is basic shapes and classic tweens. Oh, and there's an embeded sound file.
Now, when I export it as an swf there's no problem. Neither is there a problem when I play the swf embedded in a browser, or an exe version of the file. But when I try to play the swf in the standalone player (i.e.by simply clicking the swf file icon), I get a series of error reports:
Trying to load a simple swf movie into my mc holder.When I preview the page on my desktop the external files loads. On the FTP server it doesn't. Why? I tried 2 scripts for an "onClipeEvent" on the empty mc holder but nothing workes. [code]Then I got recommended to use this script on an empty keyframe. It works but again, only offline.targetMc.loadMovie("floorplans/301.swf");
I need a tutorial for a hierarchical drop down menu system that drops down 3 sub levels. Do I make the items in the sub menus individual buttons and then insert them into a movie clip or make every sub menu item a movie clip and insert them into buttons?
Movie named mcMovie is on frame 1 of timeline on the MainStage. Button inside that movie is named butButton, What would be the scripting for that button to jump to frame labeled "content" on the MainStage. Would the AS be on the mcMovie? or on the timeline?
Alternatively, I can make it all work with the buttons living on the MainStage but apparently they need to be brought onto the MainStage at the same time as the AS. Is there a way to have them in the first frame, yet invisible, and then turn visible at a certain frame?
I'm starting to use Flash again after many years. I created a simple movie on my company website.I have it set to play once and stop not to loop. I was asked to see if I could have it play once and stop like I have, but then have it replay when you mouse over.
I am new to actionscripts and I'm having some difficulty. I am creating a website that teaches kids about the about the brain and I am creating a website very familiar to this one,[URL]..So far I only know how to draw and call a simple movie clip such as what you see below. What I am trying to do is create the features that you see on the above website. I'll try to explain as best as possible what I have done so far:
I created one flash file and drew the background for where the text will display. Next I created several movie clips for each of the brain parts and I placed an invisible button over each of these movies. For example I told the button, "cerebellum_button" to play the movie "cerebellum_mc" and told it to go to the "turnon" label." Once it stopped at the label "turnoff" it displayed the text for what the cerebellum does.
I don't think that the below method is efficient, I feel that my code is redundant because I�m having to create a button for each animated movie clip, then each one of those movie clips displays text. It seems to me that I can somehow create a text in a centralized location and call it. However because I am new at this stuff I have had to create text in each of the movie clips. Is there a way that I can centralize all of the text then call it? My aim is to have the user roll over the brain part, have it animate, and have it display the text to explain what that brain part does. So far this is what I have working, I have one button and one animated movie that includes text.
I have a simple text fade movie clip that will "play" but won't work when I "Test Movie." What am I missing? I don't regularly use Flash as of yet, and have been successful before, but this is ridiculous - and I know I'm probably missing something very simple.
