Template Amendment To Get Text From Xml And Few Other Tweaks?
Jul 1, 2009
I am working on a project based on the following template [URL].html and I would like some updates to it.I would like to enter the text via xml,When the video reaches a cue point I would like it to load text from an xml attribute of the same name, ie cuepoint A loads <item name="A">each xml will be bulleted list with up to 8 points which I would like to style globally, (css or similar), and add or remove points to make longer and shorter lists I would also like the animation to be standard so this can be modified project wide through actionscript or similar.
I'm working on a website that is kind of set up a bit like a flash game. the background scrolls continuously with the movement of your mouse, and loops to make it appear seamless. my problem is with the quality.. it seems to skip or jump a little when it moves, and I am trying to get it as smooth as possible.
the source file is here: http:[url]....
you can just export it to see what I am talking about. what can I do to make it not so jumpy? are there settings I can adjust, or does anyone have any other code variations that would improve on mine?
Before I go and spend a number of hours trying to figure it out - has anyone made the following improvements to Scotty's "V3_with_thumbs" gallery?[url]...
1) Gallery menu is fed by the XML doc and not hardcoded in Flash.
2) Next and Previous buttons (in addition to the thumbnail buttons)
3) Icing on the cake: "Slideshow" button that loops through the chosen gallery thumbnails. Probably needs to be a toggle button to stop the loop too.
If you make multiple flash files from the same template and then edit that template, will all those files have those same changes? If not, is there a way to make the same change on multiple files at once? Basically the same idea as linking HTML files to a single CSS file...
Jesus Christ - I thought I was really good in flash.Got this template and I can't see S***. WTH - is it supposed to be this difficult to manipulate a template or am I stupid??? Go into project explorer and can't see much AS so how the hwll are they getting the images and text into the flash swf. By the html??? I don't think so.
I would like to add text as it opens, going across the flag, something like this....
Sam Young. Not Uncle Sam, but here to serve you!
Now, obviously, that's not what I want it to say, but it's an example, of how I want it to move across the page, on the flag, before it opens to the first page. I've tried everything I know to do. I'm sure I'm just missing something silly.
I just started using Adobe Flash CS4. I am a newbie and do not have flash experience other than teaching myself how to do it. Problem. I have a website template that allows full customization and has 4 flashing text buttons on the header. Everything has been working flawlessly until this....When I go to change the text for any one of the text buttons it changes the text in all of the other text buttons regardless of what I do.
I have a website template in which I am trying to change the header text words and menu text words to customize the template. How do I do this in Flash CS4?
I downloaded a XML based website flash template and made some modifications to it. With this template there was few fonts included in separate folder (I had to install them to view swf and edit fla correctly) after all my mods done I published it to swf file and opened local file with browser, everything was working perfectly at this moment. Then I asked my friend if it could upload it on his server to check if this website looks the same on the web. I noticed that text (which is written with custom font that was included) is either missing or misplaced
While I'm just a beginner right now it/I'm an experienced computer user and I have really enjoyed/but when I'm looking at it now I'm trying to use flash to edit a website template, for example monster templates. I bought a template from the site and nine trying to edit it now and well it just seems like it's a very very long process to do something kind of where I just want to look at the page and I want to edit the text and only I go to bed doesn't seem to be the case. So I'll show you what I mean.
When I'm using the program and I'm in Adobe flash I'm looking now at the screen inside the program and there's no text I see the graphics images and there's no text and also is that some type of way where it's easy to navigate link to link where I can just edit the text what supposed to be in there rather than search for the funeral push page up and down until I come across just a white background with tax and then have to edited which is pretty confusing because I don't know where that's located but I the general idea that if you change it but surely there must be an easier way.
So basically I'm including a screenshot that shows you exactly what I'm talking about. Basically once again I'm in fashion items Sandy text so it's kinda hard to see what was going on or whatever so you can see the snow text located in the thing but however when I publish the file yeah you can see the text and everything I'm kinda looking for some type of you well be able to see this and just edited really. I know there are other programs out there like SWF edited her or quick note to some like that. But I really wanted to use flash, unexperienced Photoshop user and I really love all Adobe products and I really think that this is the master program to use however I'm really don't want it as of right now it's been about 40 days and nine still a bit lost navigating through the program will I'm just really just China entities tax bills and just go through the site. Now I realize I should have the respect for beautiful program like this and it's not been a be set up to the way that I'm hoping it Siskind be a point-and-click editor I understand that. I'm just wondering if anybody has any type suggestions or perhaps of I'm missing something which is fantastic.
How do I get my Elapsed/Total Time dynamic text boxes into a flash skin template. I put the boxes in the skin and have the code to make it work on my main stage yet it doest do anything. When i put the text boxes on the stage it works...
I have a IT background and have been able to alter most of the template by myself to the design I would prefer my website to have. However I have hit a snag, it looks like part of the flash website design is controlled by bitmap images therefore I concluded those images were under the sources within the PSD folder. I tried creating a PNG file and double clicking the relevant bitmap and then updating it with the new file. However after I perform a publish preview the the change made no impact to the design.
I have built a template for a client that I would like to use for every page of the site. The problem, of course, is that the content within each page has to be changed. Ideally, I'd even change the layout; for example, some might have images, others just all text, others tables, etc.
I have this template that i am modifying [URL] Photo gallery i am trying to use[URL] when you click on any of the images the site reframes and then you see a xml text box i want to replace that xml text box with an xml photogallery but i am not really familiar with the language and its been a long time since i did any web work.
I am customising a Template Monster template that has a flash menu.When I changed the getURL code (using AS2) of my flash menu buttons they work for an external URL but do nothing in my site. EG.THIS WORKSgetURL("index.html");THIS DOESNTI have everything in the same root folder and the animated menu bar works perfectly in-situ, just wont go from page to page.
I have two questions (I'm a photographer and flash novice):
1) I just bought this flash template (URL...) and I need to edit it. Rewriting the text is easy, I just rewrite it in XML files, but I cant figure out how to change the font, font color and font size. Could somebody tell me how to do it?
2) I also bought this template (URL...) and I cant figure out how to edit name in the header and text in the top menu. I really cant find it anywhere (I dont see it in Adobe Flash and I dont see any jpeg or PSD file in the flash directory...)
I'm going to use a Flash template as the basis for a new website. I have loaded the Flash files into Flash but I would like to work individually with some of the graphics images in the Library and edit them using Photoshop or Gimp afterwhich I will udpate them. I can't figure out how to exports or copy any or all of the elements in the Library so I can edit them
I don't know why this is so difficult, but I'm unable to embed a swf generated in flash into a dreamweaver template. I can finally create a few basic animations and want to test them out in the dreamweaver envoirment. What is the simplest path to accomplishing this? For example if I open flash, create a simple animation, like a ball moving across the screen. If I save that SWF, what's the next step after opening dreamweaver. I just want to be able to test it the site with dreamweaver or see it "live".
I just purchased a flash template and can not seem to find where I place the logo. The template now has a logo in text, but I want to replace it with an image.
I downloaded a flash template for a website and it includes a looping .wav soundclip that starts automatically when the page is loaded. There is an ON/OFF button that stops it, then starts it again.What I want to do is change the soundclip to a soundclip of my own. The instructions that came with the template say that to change the music, all I need to do is change the sound_Bar movie clip.
When I double click the sound_Bar movie clip, and select the "music" layer in the timeline, in the properties tab I see the following options:
I've imported my custom sound to the library, but when I select it, the values change to this:
Name: NEWclip.wav Effect: -- (blank) Sync: Event (<-- I can't change this back to being blank) Loop
Anyways, what happens when I change the clip is that when I click the OFF button, the sound does not stop. Then if I click the button again to turn it ON, it starts the clip again, but overtop of the one that's already playing.Does anyone know why this is happening and how I can fix it? I don't really know too much about flash, that's why I bought the template pre-made...so far I've been able to edit everything else, and the music seems to be the last step but is giving me the most problems.
I am new to flash and i have .fla file of flash.i want to edit this file to use it.I want to change the buttons name and their hyperlinks in this fileI want to attach the .fla file with post but i don't know how to do this.
I've set up an application to print the current state of the control I'm using (in this case an ArcGIS server map), but I'd like to set up a print function that uses it's own template to print rather than grabbing the state of the application.
I've attempted to do this by setting up a flex component that lays out the items I want to print and instantiating it when I call the FlexPrintJob. Unfortunately, simply instantiating it results in getting a blank green square.
There are two main questions about this that I'd like to put out there. First, what needs to be done to print a newly instantiated template rather than just grabbing already existing controls from the screen? Second, for more controls that need to load complicated data from multiple sources, like an ArcGIS map, is it possible to instantiate them in that kind of environment, or is there a way to take an image of the control in the application and print that?
I am building an application template in FlashDevelop/Flash, to be used as the template for all our future projects. In a swc-free world, the template has a bunch of library symbols and a whole package of classes in the /lib/ folder that run the whole thing.
What I would like to do, is package all that up into a single swc, so the team can checkout the latest build of the swc from svn at the start of a project, put it in the /lib/ folder and forget about it.
However, all attempts to do this have failed so far. Is it even possible to put everything into one swc?
I am not an AS3 guru but recently I started learning AS3 and write code to build a website for my digital photography content.Of course, you can argue, why not get a ready-to-use template and go from there. However, I wanted a website with flexibility and tailored to my needs and one that can be easily updated and scalable.The question I have is in regards to the design patterns in AS3. I have created several classes that create for example photo galleries, and then use photo viewer class to display photos, etc.However, as the code is growing and more and more instances of different objects appear within my code all over the place i am starting to loose track of how to communicate between objects and what would be the best practices for building a photography website.I read about Factory Method Pattern and Singleton Pattern as well as MVC, and seems like MVS Pattern would offer the best way i could build the website.
I don't know where to find it, I purchased a file that is a Flip Book done in AS3, the author of the book made a table of contents that requires me to type the pages and page numbers in the xml and then it creates the buttons, I want to be able to create my own buttons in order to create my own table of contents,
I am using a flash template with an xml file. I am trying to replace an image with a .swf file. Is this possible? And what tags do i use to replace the line below with a flash .swf in place of it? <image url="images/pic3.jpg"> I just want it to be a flash movie on top of a flash movie instead of a pic.
i've got problem with adding a button to a template, so by default there are 4 buttons.i've localized in source move clip with buttons and animation, i've copied one of them and pasted, then i've changed the name from item for to item5. the data for buttons and web pages displayed by them are from the xml file, which code i attach. the problem is that even if i added 5 section [with the number 5 in systemOrder) the webpage doesn't display this content correctly, sometimes taking the value of previous button and sometimes showing just main frame, and instead of elements and texts from xml it shows "Undefined". I've search all the source using movie explorer and i havent found anywhere else connections with item4 / item5.
akie ilosci kodu, ale mysle, ze moze to pomoc albo byc wrecz wymagane. na topie typowo action layer, pod nim label layer [to te s0 s3 itd.] oraz event source, a pod nimi wszystkie pozosta necessary. on top there is action layer, under lablel layer [the one with s0, s3 etc.] and event source, and under those all the rest.
Im a relative novice in Flash and Im used to working in CS3. However, I am trying out CS4 to do a change a template that a client bought. Everything is going smoothly for the most part.However, I am not able to change the tab names on the template that she wants. I expected for the text to be on its own layers as seperate rollovers, but I guess somehow they are nested within the button shapes and I cannot locate them. I've been trying to change them for the past 2 days and I have had no luck thus far.I know you guys are some of the best when it comes to Flash. Here is the working template and what I have done thus far. I was able to change the girl's eye color from blue to dark brown and change the default title that came with the template to the name of her business:
