I created a very simple website with the flash export capability of Adobe Encore. To my disappointment there is a noticeable black flash between the different pages which makes the project basically useless. What is causing the black frame and is there a way to fix it? I have included all the files involved as an attachement so you can take a look at the code if you want!
View 2 RepliesI am fairly new to flash and I have started to attempt to modify a template that I found online to make it my own. The thing that I am having problems with is the URL Links. There are 5 different clickable tabs on the header that I have, and when you edit it in flash cs4, each one is the same image when you edit it. The only way in which you can change what each one of them says is by editing them in the library. This isn't the problem. I want to link these tabs to different pages on my website. When I edit one of them, all of them change to the same url link. The file is too large for me to upload I think.
View 4 RepliesI was wondering if there is an easy way of navigating through a website without the use of multiple pages and eliminate the use of a navigation bar. My idea, which I'm sure has been done before because people are always coming up with new inventive ways to browse the internet, is to be able to allow the user to free roam the entire website on one page. I wouldn't be asking if I found it so I figured I could put my mind at ease and ask someone.url...In this map, it allows the user to free roam this map and find different cities. My idea is to have the user to browse a map of a website to different parts of what would normally be links to other pages. The whole web map would be one page and the user could just move their cursor up or down or left to right to each section of the website. Once they get to a section, they can click on certain parts. There is one website that is similar to my idea, but I want to eliminate the use of a navigation bar.I am new to flash but I love web design. I want to come up with a new way to navigate.
View 5 RepliesThe pages get scrambled once I publish and test it for instance the one page shows and then the next and then another - all after another in rapid succession.I have the following layers:
1. Background - 20 (Where layer stops)2. Template - 20 (home) 3. Buttons 20 (the "20" layers will eventually change once the site grows bigger)4. page two- 25. page thee - 11 (has 9 pages on its own)6. page four - 12 now, the pages only jump around ONCE I ADD PAGE 4 - which is a movie.The movie is an .SWF and works fine on its own. The movieload tutorial is correct and works. There are also buttons on page 4 with button commands - I removed them and tested the published website without the buttons but they continue to jump around.
I have created a website with one flash animation banner.The banner .swf has 5 menus. Each menu goes to different movieclips inside the .swf file. and at the same time i want to load the corresponding html file when i click the menu button and place the html content into the bottom area of the main html page without refreshing the html page.
View 2 RepliesI designed a flash banner with buttons. I am trying to get those buttons linked to other pages in my website. I have tried several methods but none appear to work. The first thing I tried to was to assign the buttons to my other webpages through using the behaviours under the windows tab in Flash CS4. It worked when using the publish preview option (preview in flash) and choosing Flash, but when I went to add the banner to my webpage through Dreamweaver, the buttons would not work. I tried another method and used actionscript 3.0. I kept getting errors.

I am new to Actionscript and am working with AS3 in Flash CS3 to produce a portfolio website. Basically I have my flash set up with a 3x3 grid (9 boxes about 450px by 450px each box) and each box will have info and basically be a page that will be displayed in the masked area I have made. I have already got the navigation working but I want to make it tween to each page with a deceleration effect. The following is my code for my navigation which currently works fine:
Code:
stop();

I am about to design my first Flash website which uses pages of different heights. I want the entire window to be Flash. There will be a background pattern, and the website design will be centered horizontally, with just the height changing depending on which page I'm on. Some pages will require scrolling and other pages will not. If possible, I'd like to use the browsers built-in scroll bar. A few months ago, I would have thought this was impossible to do in Flash, but I actually have seen a website which does exactly this. It's a shame I can't remember the URL. Any suggestions on how I might go about achieving this task? The only way I can imagine is to split up all the pages on separate URL's, but then I won't be able to do smooth transitions between pages.

View 3 RepliesI have created a flash website in cs4 using AS2. I have 2 layers in my time line, content and AS. I created scenes along the time line and labeled each scene "about" "contact" etc.Each scene is 10 frames long and has the stop action applied to it. The gotoAndPlay command is applied to each button within the scene and I have used the folowing action on the buttons to link the pages:on (release) {gotoAndPlay("scenename");}This does link the pages however if i hit any of the buttons twice, it directs me to the wrong page. For example if I hit the home button twice, it will direct me to the about page. Should I be targeting a frame within the scene also?

But I haven't been able to find an example file with example code that I can ferret out how to apply this to my website. I've also checked the swfaddress and while there is a link to this:[URL].Also... is it unwise to retroactively work in swfaddress to an already compiled as or should i be starting fresh, knowing that I am going to give unique urls to various buttons, that when clicked, bring up a certain 'page' or external swf?
- I made a flash-based website using Flash CS3 and then embedded the file into a blank html page with Dreamweaver cs3.-All my buttons, linking, and content were made in Adobe Flash CS3 using ActionScript 2.0 (AS2).The issue I am encountering is that when i click on some buttons that have get URL codes, they will not load the html files assigned to the As2 code of the button. The html files are supposed to load in a separate browser window for each html page assigned to each button. The html files are located within subfolders in my Main Site Root Folder.All my AS2 code is Object-based; meaning I applied it directly to my button symbols.

Do I build the bar in Flash and then the HTML portion in dreamweaver or do I build it all in Flash? Would an iFrame work for this sort of website?
I'm creating website that I want to put my resume and portfolio on as different Flash applications. For my resume it would be like a mini-web site that has various linking buttons to different pages. I tried to use scenes b/c I had a professor who told us to use scenes to create our pages/animations, and the scenes concept did not work with the actionscripting.
I then read online that scenes were not the way to go. So I'm trying to use Frame Labels to create this - right now I made a menu movie clip that I have my actionscript in for each button - the buttons have the correct instance names and I have my frames properly labeled with their movie clips attached to each for each part of the resume/page portion.
This is the code I'm using in the Menu movie clip. The problem I'm having is that when I click on each button - nothing happens! I tried this one, and nothing happened:
education.addEventListener(MouseEvent.CLICK, educationCLICK);
function educationCLICK(event:MouseEvent):void{
gotoAndPlay('education');
};
And then I tried to re-order it and nothing happened:
function educationCLICK(event:MouseEvent):void{
gotoAndPlay('education');
};
education.addEventListener(MouseEvent.CLICK, educationCLICK);
I have a question about loading external data. When I had all my actionscript export to frame one, it would slow down the preloader and not show up until it was far into the progress bar animation. So I moved everything to frame 2. The problem with that is now my menus which are populated from an xml file are not there when the site starts to play. How can I get my xml data to load on frame one, but leave the .as fils to load in frame 2?
View 6 RepliesI have created a basic flash navigation menu bar for my website. I have added the bar into a frame on my dreamweaver page. I was just wondering if it was possible to link the buttons on my flash bar to open the pages into the main frame below my navigation bar? The code I have at the moment for my "home" button is the following:
master_mc.home_btn.addEventListener(MouseEvent.CLI CK, homeF);
function homeF(e:MouseEvent):void{
var homeL:URLRequest = new URLRequest("C:UsersSalisburyDocumentsProjecti ndex.html");
navigateToURL(homeL,"_blank");
and this is opening the "home" page in a new window. Is it possible to make it open it in my main frame (called mainFrame)?
I need to create a static frame and a changing content... currently envisaged as frame containing the side panel and header and footer content.
The content panel will call mxml based on the content sought.
a) how is the frame paradigm- with static frame "containing" other content done. I dont want to repeat the header and footer logic in every 'content section' code?
b) how is the hyperlinking between content sections done- using 'states' seems convoluted

I am creating a website that has four different pages with two different pages that load pictures into a loader. Right now, everything is loading fine, but when I go to the frames (i.e. other pages of the website) where the loader doesn't exist, and then I go BACK to one of the previous pages, the loader doesn't display anything when I press the buttons. The dynamic text box doesn't load either. I am using two different arrays to load it. Also, I had to put the Actions on the second frame of the whole scene for some reason. Is there some rule about having buttons on one frame load things into a loader that is on another frame?[code]...

I wanted to know the best way to load the pages in my movie. Its sort of a complicated site. What happens is, a slider (containing the nav buttons) moves left and right across the screen according to a variable. When the buttons is pressed, it will also change the background, and loadMovie into the main screen.
Now my question is, is it best to have the 4 pages on the main timeline, and the movie moves to a frame label depending on which button is pressed, or have all the movieclips called and retreated according? Hard thing is, if the menu slider is on the left, when a button is pressed it goes to the frame label right? Well, if that particular frame has the keyframes set at the right already, it'll jump to the left before sliding to the right....
I have 2 websites both built entirely in flash.My problem is that I have created a button on 1 of the sites that has to link to a particular scene and frame within a different flash website.

I've searched the threads to find something that may help but as i'm not too good with AS i'm not sure what Is relevant to what I need. So i'm hoping someone can put it simply for me.
I have a pattern in the background of each page on my website which sits on the Index page. When each new page is loaded, on release of the relevant button, the background pattern should change colour. I have 9 pages to load therefore it changes colour 9 times.
What sort of code should I use? I'm not familiar with changing colours in AS!

View 1 RepliesI have continued to find a resolution and have had no luck. My website has 5 flash buttons (tabs) to take you to a new html page. Each time you go to a page the button seems to have to re-load creating a "white blinking" inside the cell. The background of the fla file is black and I have the table cell background set to black hoping thatbut to no avail. I thought once a swf is loaded it won't have to re-load. The swf files are the same on all pages

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.
He'll probably start to complain that it would have been easier if I'd made it in html instead of flash
