Is it neccesary to know HTML todesign complete flash based websites ?Ofcourse i know simple things like the index.html and adjusting borders etc within the html code. But i dont know exclusively how to make HTML standalone pages. Im basically a video edit guy and dont have much time to spend on learning HTML webdesigning.I propose to further study and polish my skills only in flash and stick to that area of specialization, ie.designing websites purely based on Flash. Is this OK. Are there designers like this who only specialize in flash websites without venturing into HTML ?
I'm a web designer. In a effort to make Flash-based sites for my clients I have gone over stacks of AS books now for months. I just don't get any of it--and I've tried. Moreover, the books all give abstract examples to do just about anything with AE. My needs are very limited: I need to use AS for web navigation in order to create Flash-based websites. Here's an example of what I'd like my websites to do: [URL]
Can anybody point me to Flash templates, demos, tutorials, AS libraries, websites, videos, classes, that focus on Flash navigation, with specific examples of real life websites? Or blocks of code where all I have to do is replace some lines with my own stuff? Or an AS library comparable to jQuery? I know this has to be doable. I don't know any JavaScript either, but I'm perfectly able to fulfill all my web design needs with jQuery.
I'm trying to open a URL in Safari. It works fine for websites without Flash embedded, but crashes Safari for Flash sites.
Example (this WORKS):
tell application "Safari" to open location [URL]
This CRASHES when Safari is not already running:
tell application "Safari" to open location [URL]
Two things I noticed:
Safari only crashes for websites with embedded Flash The script above only crashes if a new instance of Safari is created (i.e. Safari was not running before)
From the second observation I assume that it could be a permission issue of some sort. Maybe the Safari instance launched from the AppleScript has a problem loading plugins?
I know when I create a Flash file I can utilize ActionScript to link buttons created in the .swf video file. Can I do the same with HTML 5? I would like to change one of my swf files over to HTML 5 to experiment with the new code. I heard Flash was going to offer this feature in CS5.
I am trying to include my Adobe Flash CS3 movies on my HTML websites. The website is validated XHTML 1.0 strict. It works fine in IE and is valid. (IE uses the OBJECT tag) In Firefox, I cannot have my movie since the EMBED tag is depreciated-If I do have the Flash movie included to work in Firefox, it will not validate since the EMBED tag is depreciated. Is there any way to have it work in FireFox and be XHTML 1.0 Strict valid? My URL is:(Flash on top)
I am going to build my first ever flash website. how to design cool and stylish websites? Like the flash websites we see at [URL], I don't want to order from web designers there because it's way too much money to buy unique websites, so I was wondering if you guys know any tutorials (other than google) where I can learn how to build these cool and stylish websites? Mainly I want to learn how to build animations such as when the mouse hovers, an animation begins. I already know how to code in ActionScript with Adobe Flash CS5 and Dreamweaver CS5, so I'm not those newbies trying learn new code, I just want to learn how to design Flash Websites with those cool and stylish animation features.
1) They're hard to edit. I never learned AS, and I'm kind of hesitant to learn it. Adobe Flash (using CS5), while kind of cool, is really complicated.
2) They don't show up on Macs.
3) They don't show up right when Google crawls it. It just looks like a picture or something embedded. There's no text, so Google has no clue what you're talking about.
4) You can't get FLA files from the "View Page Source" or even the FTP, you have to ask your client to give you those files. Chances are, especially with my luck, he doesn't have them.
So. Why would someone use Flash to build a website? Especially when HTML 5, CSS3, JQuery and the like can do a similar job? I know I'm pretty new at the more complex languages, but if someone could enlighten me as to why Flash is just as useful, if not moreso, than an HTML based site?
I have the tutorial's files that i created along with the video set up and all and it works. My specific project I'm working on is to have the div tags become editable outside of flash but have my design in flash making it so every div tag had its own respective text box, Is there any way to select specific div tags for the code?
I've built a Flash site, embedded it within an HTML page and I'd like to add a 'HOME' button to the HTML page linking to a particular frame within the Flash. Is this possible?
Is there any workaround to load in complete html pages with LoadVars ? I have this client that wants to update some pages (just adding and removing text and pictures), but I would love to do it in action scripting and have him update an external file. Now I could tell him to remove the tags from <html> to <body> and from </body> to </html>, save it as text file and add a variable (like myText at the top of his file, but that wouldn't make things much easier for him.probably start to complain that it would have been easier if I'd made it in html instead of flash Does anyone have any other ideas on how to display an html page inside of flash ? (except for opening browser windows and loading the page in that window ofcourse - that isn't good enough)
I'm trying to send a variable from an HTML into Flash in order to modify it based on the value. I generally know how FlashVars works in AS3, so I did some quick reading for AS2 and made a test swf.
[URL]
In my swf, the first frame only has this code:
Code: if (_root.tester == undefined) { var passed:String = "Nothing Passed"; } else { var passed:String = _root.tester; } texty.text = passed;
According to what I've read and what my code is, this should work. It should read the value of video as the value of _root.tester (check the HTML code), yet it's always listed as undefined.
Why does test movie open a new window in the IDE instead of compiling? And when I try Publish Settings I get 'No Valid HTML Templates are available to complete this operation'.

I made a .swf that loads a .xml file from a directory called "xml".That file lists the images that are to be loaded into the .swf.The .swf is embedded into an html file.The issue we are seeing is that if you don't include "www" in the url, the images don't get loaded (??!).But the .swf is running, and all the html and css works.If you use "www" in the url, everything works perfectly.[code]
I know a fair bit about flash, and can make a basic flash website, with just using on(release) gotoAndStop(2) etc and have have all my buttons link to other pages
but lets say I have a interactive music player on my flash website, and its on every page, and on viewing a page on the website, i want to change track on the music player to the second track.
ing my hands in web designing and development. I have basic knowledge of HTML, CSS, Java Script but have never used Dreamweaver/ Flash or any such software. I am looking for some guidance from your side on this. Please let me know -
1.) Is Flash a free software to use or do I need to purchase one to use in websites?
2.) Please let me know some good tutorials that can help me in learning the things quickly.
3.) What are the other products I need for designing. Just wanted to let you know that I am going to try my hands in professional development.
I would like to have a box or frame in my Flash to view other websites. There will be a few hyper links on my flash and once i click, i want the website to be shown within the flash.

I have been seeking for months to try to put my flash animations in myspace blog but I haven't succeeded in doing that. I have tried to put the code source of the html document but it doesn't work . When I saw the animations pre-maded in websites for myspace , it's exactly the same code as I have saw in the code source of my html page. Why it doesn't work? I have tried to convert to anothers format, to put them in youtube , but it wasn't very good.
I have tried a files hosting where I put swf files format and I put the links , but myspace doesn't accept this kind of links , they say that it brings spams. I have just think about it and I haven't done it yet. If I convert swf files into flv files and I put the correct video code , Will it works? I read that myspace doesn't accept the flash animations but it's not true because there are a lot of flash animations to put in that.
I would like to know if anybody could help me to learn more on improving SEO for flash websites as it is not as good as for html websites (if i am not mistaken).I have heard something about xml that can be used to improve your SEO for all your flash websites.
I've noticed that a number of Flash sites have urls such as [URL] which gives the ability to return to a specific area (in this case "services") of the site rather than staying on the homepage each time you go back to the page. As you navigate through the site the url changes to reflect where you are in the swf.
I am very new to flash ads and we are on a new platform after a website redesign. I'm having trouble with flash display settings I'm guessing since the ad displays fine in IE, but not fine in Firefox and Chrome. Images to follow (for the curious it is a YWCA ad):
Here you see overlap on the current version of Firefox.
This ad has wings! Current version of Chrome.
This is IE. What? IE is right and the other browsers aren't? What gives!?
