For a school project we have to make a presentation about our RME topic, and we can to it in any format we want. I want to do it in Flash so as to add interactivity. Problem is, I am not certain on parts of it.
How do you add buttons, so as to change the background? For example, it shows title screen. Then you click.Then it shows first slide like. Then you can click like, Introduction, The Pillars of Islam, ect.
i need to make a little multimedia/presentation where depending on the options you take (normal buttons) a Mc plays and in the end you a get list of itmes depending on the choices you took. I cant remember how to do it, its been a few years since i last did something like this, is there any good tut where i can understand how to do it? cant find anything, basically what i want is to be able to save the choices the user takes during the "game" and with each lode a different .txt at the end. Is this possible with Fl8? its going on a USB Stick, and it'll be a .exe that will load a few swf . . .
this is what I want to achieve:I want to make a presentation in flash with all my work. Sort of a PowerPoint presentation but in flash. Yes, I know there is a built in PowerPoint function I flash. But I want it to be some more dynamic and most of all. I want it to run without pressing the �Spacebar� between all the MovieClips.
I dont know if this is a good way, but my idea is to make a movie clip of each thing.I want to present. I.e.I make a MovieClip with a logotypes fading in and out. And one MovieClip with another logotype fading in and out.Then I just want to add these external swf files in the main timeline and when the first external MovieClip has finished next ones starts. And when all the swf files have been played. It starts all over again.
I'm trying to create an accordian style menu using the function below, which is structured off the xml file posted below as well. I have everything parsed into Flash and can see all the data, as well as the movie clips being created. What I AM having a problem with is positioning the movie clips appropriately. The submenu items should sit directly underneath the menu items, like a traditional accordian menu looks, but I cannot come up with the right formula to make this happen.
function createXMLMenu(menuLength:Number,itemName:XMLList):void{ var navItemText:XMLList = itemName; //Create dynamic menu based off //menuLength parameter being passed in
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 have begun on a list: My reference is null!Stage is null! Convert this code from as 2 to as 3 for me! Crossdomain policies are in the way of my cool idea Dynamic property names I need to use stuff on the parent! I don't want my children to scale when I scale the parent! Classes vs instances. Mod note: I do not want this topic pinned, we will use a fresh topic once we have agreed to the content.
As it is said here: [URL] "If you do a Google search today for "MVVM and Flex", the first post is by somebody who claims that MVVM is not a good fit for Flex. I couldn't disagree more. Out of the box, the Flex framework makes it much easier to implement a Presentation Model than similar MVVM implementations in Silverlight. That is not to say that there aren't good third-party libraries that make it easier in Silverlight, but without any help, it is easier to do in Flex." So MVVM as LOGICAL CONCEPT can be implemented in both but the way it is implemented in Silverlight requires more Plumbing than Flex.
What prevents Silverlight MVVM to be implemented like Flex ? Doesn't Silverlight have same capability in event system to do the same? If yes why does Silverlight do things more complicated what's the advantages then ? Is it about using Class Interfaces which are more strongly typed? What are the disadvantages also ? For example as for implementing MULTIPLE VIEWS for 1 View-Model does Flex implementation make it also more obvious?
I'm trying to make a Flex-based desktop application consume messages from an ActiveMQ topic with a durable subscription, using the JMS bridge of BlazeDS. The basic scenario is as follows: Messages are produced by other producers in the topic to which the Flex client is subscribed. The Flex client may go offline from time to time, but it must receive all the messages it has missed while being offline when it connects to BlazeDS again. (Of course the Flex client connects with the same client ID every time). It can not be guaranteed that the Flex client is shut down gracefully.
Everything works fine if I explicitly disconnect my consumer on the Flex side by calling disconnect() - I do it in the exit handler of the application. However, due to #3 above, it is not guaranteed that disconnect() is called all the time. When the Flex client shuts down without calling disconnect(), it seems that the subscription of the "proxy JMS client" that BlazeDS creates and associates to the Flex client stays active towards ActiveMQ, so ActiveMQ still thinks that the client is logged in. When the Flex app starts up the next time, it is unable to log in to BlazeDS because ActiveMQ refuses its subscription, claiming that the client ID is already taken. Why is it so and what can I do here to ensure that BlazeDS makes the "proxy JMS client" offline in ActiveMQ when its real Flex counterpart terminates unexpectedly?
More detailed information: some debugging revealed that:
I'm creating a presentation for a client and in this presentation I need a lead up page which has a series of editable text fields, and I'm not quite sure where to start.
1. There is to be a field where the client can punch in thier number and it will bring up information which is stored in an external database (Excel?), if they don't know their number however, they then have the option of filling it out manually. I then need this to immediately create a new .txt file which will become this customers reference (provided one doesn't already exist).
2. Any information that is edited during the session needs to be able to be SAVED to an external .txt file (as above), which can then be called upon if the same client (number) is typed into the field mentioned above.
3. The presentation then moves on to a customisable shopfit, where the client decides how they want their shop to look (this part is already complete and tested and works fine). However, at present I have a print button which the customer can select and it will print out their options, but it has been requested (as I think the reps like to leave their printers in their other suit jackets) that I have an email option, this needs to email the picture (which normally gets printed) AND the information which was entered into the customer reference page.
I'm a designer at a company. In every day life I use flash for creating banners, simple slideshows and presentations. Nothing complicated really. I have managed to learn some simple expressions.I'm making my presentations in as3, because i'm also using flashEff for the cool text effects. This time i'm assigned to make a presentation that has videotrailers in it. I have no idea where to start.What are the keywords i have to look in to and what to i need to learn the get the new task done.The presentation has 20 slides, each slide contains some content that appears on mouseclick command. I'm navigating from one slide to another with arrow keys. 10 slides are going to contain a player with the trailer (length max 30 sec).
I am still running Flash MX (04). Because I find flash a little more useable than other progs, I am using it to create a presentation. I am creating a project that I intend to only use as a standalone SWF (not uploadable to a site or anything). I intend to play the SWF full screen on a laptop and output to an LCD projector as a presentation. I have the stage set at 1024 x 768 and am using movie clips imported/embedded (which arent the full 1024x768 but slightly smaller ), text, photo's and audio. I am nearly 2/3rds the way through and the SWF file size is growing (currently at 16 meg). I expect it to be in the region of 90 meg + or so as some audio yet to be loaded and still photos are quite size heavy. Is there any way i can get the audio to sound a little clear as when the SWF is published the sound seems to lose a little quality in the compression. Also, what is the maximum size you would recommend a standalone SWF in this scenario should/could be?
My clients have alarge flash presentation (kind of microsite) which is 18MB of size.How can i embed it to their site, and have a preloader for it.The Clients dont have the FLA, as the developer didnt provide, as is out of reach.I am a Zero-Flash knowledge, just a small time web (CSS/HTML) developer.[URL]
I'm creating a Flash presentation for a client. The finished product is to be played on a projector from his laptop. His laptop has a screen resolution setting of 1440x900.Would it make sense to make my Flash document the same dimensions?
I have a presentation .fla from a client which is published to an .exe projector file. this is my first tome working on a file published for this so I'm a bit confused. Within the fla folder is another fla which is titled player. That file calls background music thru an xml file which I can figure later but my problem is this.
if I add the mp3 voiceover to the xml list when the published file plays it of course starts at 001.00 the voiceover needs to be edited to fit within the presentation. How can I drop the swf of the riginal presentation inside an app then add the voiceover on another layer and be able to edit to match sort of what I would do in IMovie. I have the CS5 master Suite so I'm sure one of the apps does this/

I'm making a CD presentation. I have: 1- Start.swf (menu used for navigation) 2- Slideshow.swf (27mb) 3- Other.swf's (10mb averag size) I need a preloader. Are preloaders used both for the web and Cd's, or do Cd's require special preloaders. Right now the heaviest swf takes about 20 seconds to open up. I want to put something in front so that people can realize that it is coming...eventually.
Basically i am making a presentation of some projects. I have a three button (with movieclips underneath) left handed navigation menu. When I click various buttons, the movieclip underneath it will move right and expand to fill the available content area. Now when I click other buttons, I want the current movieclip that is currently open to reduce in size and return to it's start position, followed but the newly selected movieclip to move right and increase in size.This is what my little brain thinks may work:Somewhere (perhaps on the main stage) you have code like this:
var lastusedmovie = ?? (array, string??)
Then on each of the buttons over the movieclips you have the following code
On(release) { lastusedmovie.gotoAndPlay(32) // THE FRAME THAT CLOSES THE BOX then // OR SOMETHING ELSES THAT SAYS DO THIS BIT AFTER THE BOX HAS CLOSED
I am doing a presentation in flash similar to a Powerpoint one but I want to embed movies.... add code so it works like a powerpoint ie on spacebar goto next frame?
I'm going to be creating a Flash presentation that will run on a flatscreen TV at a trade show. I'm not certain what resolution to set up my Flash movie to. The TV is a widescreen Panasonic 42" TH42PH10BK with 1024 x 768 pixels, however when I set my animation to those values it looks 'squarer' than the TV. It looks like I need to set up the animation to a different resolution, but I don't know which!
I was wondering how I make my buttons go to the next slide in a flash presentation Only know the code to do it to the next scene in a regular flash project.
I am doing a presentation using Flash cs3 and using actionscript to animate some of the slides. How do stop the playhead? (ie: each frame is a slide and I amusing timers to animate the presentation).I am currently putting each slide into a frame. Is this thebest strategy?
I've been wanting to create a flash presentation similar to the one on the page of this website.This is NOT my website by the way. Does this require actionscript? http:[url]........
I know it will take some time to learn and develop and I'm willing to put in the time to learn. I just would like to learn from a professional tutorial and not some random, generic looking tutorial that doesn't really teach a thing.
i am making a horizontal scrolling website that has to be similar to my website in that it is horizontal scrolling. i know how to do that partmy problem is simple: it doesnt let me scroll past 5000 pixels. i need to place each section 1000 pixels away from each other my last page will need to be 22000 pixels. i know that it seems a lot but that is exactly what i want. why is flash limiting me to only 5000? is there a solution?
