How To Make Graphics

Fri, 20 Nov 2009 05:05:58 -0500

I'm a web developer looking for a good way to learn how to make web graphics. I have photoshop cs4 and I know some of the basics, but Im tired of my websites looking bad and only having functionality. Does anyone have any recommendations for books, sites, etc that can improve my photoshop and graphic design skills for the web? Anything is appreciated!

Convert .emf To .pdf

Wed, 18 Nov 2009 21:19:06 -0500

I'm working for a client who has produced image files with the ".emf" file extension (Enhanced Metafile Format).

I need to convert these files to PDF to be part of the client's websit.

Does anyone know of a good program (especially a free one) to do the conversion from .emf to .pdf?

Video Player

Sun, 15 Nov 2009 12:23:04 -0500

I've been working on a custom as3 video player. Everything works except I can't get it to play before it's done buffering.
I've set the buffer time and spent 1/2 an hour searching Google for a solution.
I'm hosting off my mac in Canada, so loading time might take a while.
program: http://cpe00145197a87c-cm001947931c7a.cpe....dam/player.html

Thu, 05 Nov 2009 02:32:24 -0500

I am learning as3 at the moment, and I'm doing a project for uni, and I have a main.swf file, with navigation, and i have a video link, which loads in a video.swf into the main.swf, but when i click on another link in the menu, opening sub menu's etc, i want to check if my video.swf is displayed and if so, access it and stop the video.

How can I check the existance of video.swf inside my main.swf?

How can I access the video object in order to stop it?

5 Minute Timer

Fri, 30 Oct 2009 11:22:41 -0400

I want to create a countdown timer that counts down five minutes (or two, or three), but only when somebody clicks a button. Then when it reaches zero the timer changes to text saying times up. I've looked on google, but all I can find it timers that allow you to count down to a particular date rahter than a set amount of time. Is this possible and how do I do it. I did read this in this forum, but wasn't sure how to actually implement it in terms of where do I put the code and how do I make it so that it will only start counting down when somebody clicks a button.

Thanks

Flash Slideshow With Play/pause And Thumbnail Beside It?

Thu, 29 Oct 2009 17:21:01 -0400

Hi,

I'm trying to find a "free" versioin or one which has a small link back to the site to use on a site i'm working on.

A friend asked me to see if I could replace his "simple viewer" one which he uses now. The simple viewer does have the play/pause button but has the other features.. like right click to open the pic in a new window, a thumbnail viewer on the side, just no play/pause.

Any ideas?
Any programs I can get or buy to do this? I am learning flash myself so I'm not too good with that part yet.

Thanks

My Swf Displays Differently In Ie !

Mon, 26 Oct 2009 13:23:01 -0400

This is how my swf should look, and does in all browsers except IE:

And this is IE:

You an see that the small triangle should touch the bar, it's a kind of scrubber, but in IE it's disconnected, I don't understand how a browser affects this.

What could the problem be ?

the triangle is text, as is the pause symbol, from the webdings font, maybe there's an option for that ?

Flash Games Copyright?

Thu, 22 Oct 2009 17:35:25 -0400

Hello, I have been looking around for an answer to this question but have found no answer. Is there anything wrong with hosting and displaying somebody else's flash game. I'm NOT talking about hacking it and removing the ads or anything either, just the normal flash game. In my opinion this would be a good thing because the game gets more publicity, the ads are still show and everyone still gets paid. yeah? But many people like to store the .swfs on their own server instead of hotlinking to other peoples servers, so does this mean that if the game does not have a sitelock than it can be downloaded and stored on another server? This seems like a win win situation to me as long as people don't hack the game and remove ads? but i'm not a lawyer. Every single flash game site in the world COULD ask permission to every flash game designer just to make sure they allow the game on their site, but that would be a hassle to everybody and that doesn't seem to be the standard now. To repeat the main question "Is there anything wrong with hosting and displaying somebody eles flash game without permission"?

-Thanks and sorry for the long post.

Flash Button / Iframe Problem.

Thu, 15 Oct 2009 10:47:16 -0400

Hey guys.
I have found a problem that I hope you can help me with. I'm not sure if I should post it here in the Flash section all tho it does involve Flash. When trying to make a Flash Button load a page in an iframe on my site it opens a new window instead. It has the right content but it is not in the iframe. This of course only happens with Internet Explorer, in Firefox it is working just fine. Please help.

This is the code I'm using on one of the buttons:

CODE

on (release) {getURL ("about_swe.html", "main_frame");}

And this is the iframe it is supposed to load in:

Thank you.

Flv Player - Absolute Links

Wed, 07 Oct 2009 10:26:10 -0400

I created a simple HTML page with a flash player using the FLV Playback component. The parameters I used were like so:

CODE

skin: http://domain.com/flash/controls.swf
source: http://domain.com/videos/mymovie.flv

The HTLM document is located like so

http://domain.com/index.html

The problem I was noticing was when I'd go to http://domain.com the player worked great but when I went to http://www.domain.com it wouldn't load the flv or the skin.

I tried switching the parameters to include www but that just swapped the issue so now it wouldn't load without the www. Then I setup the parameters to be relative to where I was storing the swf file. (Inside of the flash folder)

CODE

skin: controls.swf
source: ../videos/mymovie.flv

This worked for loading the flv but now the controls won't load.

1. Why wouldn't the swf file locate the absolute location of the flv and controls?

2. Why is the swf not able to locate the controls with relative locations?

Thanks in advance.

I'm trying to create a link that would allow the user to download an mp3. I thought this would work

I know you could just right click and save target as but I was hoping to make it easier for the user.

I've been searching around for a few days with no luck. Any help out there?

Skipping Between Loaded Movie Files

Thu, 10 Sep 2009 13:00:16 -0400

Hello everyone, i've got myself in a pickle here, and to be honest i don't know how to solve this.

This is how it goes: I have a main movie that will comprise 3 other movies loaded with the loadMovieNum function.

each of those movies has a little intro animation before going to their main area, and i created a menu that should allow me to access each one of the other two movies, skipping this animation.

putting it in a simpler form - inside movie A are movies B, C and D. i want to be able to go from B to C without passing through A.

is it possible?

i suppose anything is possible in flash but i honestly don't know how to achieve this.

i'd really apreciate if someone could help me with this!

best regards,

bruno

Looking For A Flash Guy

Wed, 09 Sep 2009 18:09:57 -0400

I read through the forum rules and I did not see anything against posting in search of a coder, so if it is against the forum rules I am sorry!

I am looking to make a flash video player with overlay ads. The trouble I am having is that the end user needs to be able to control which video is played, multiple text ads with (cue in point, duration, text to be shown, link to go to, and target property IE. _blank or _self ). This would be used in a content management system. I was thinking about using flash vars to send flash a var name referencing a node in an xml sheet with all the related data. I think I have come up with the most user intuitive way to write the xml(xml included below). The only thing possibly needing explanation is in the main node I have a path property that would reference the video directory on the server. Each video node has a name property, this would be the value of the flash var (at least I was thinking that should work out). The text ads would not be a lower third or firth but rather a small box on the lower right hand of the video.

The main problem I am having is that I need the end user to be able to adjust a little bit of code to include in the page he wants the video in. I figure the only thing he should have to change is the flash var and then update the xml sheet.

Rather then the user changing the flash var, it might be easier for the user to include a little php block, which could in-turn adjust the flash var value.

I do have more information and would like to talk via paltalk, skype, or aim video chat...

If some one feel confident they can complete this project please send me a reply either here or through our website Our contact page

Automaticly Finding .swf's Width And Height

Sun, 30 Aug 2009 14:25:40 -0400

I'm placing hundreds of games on my site (and other flash content) and I'm looking for a faster way of embedding them.

Currently I create a new HTML page and embed them using this code.

CODE

This way works fine but I spend a long time just pasting this code into pages and changing the width/height/src
If possable I would like to have a code that makes the .swf as big as possable (staying within the div) while maintaining is width to height ratio. Then I would just have to change the src. (which is MUCH faster then finding the max width's and height's)
I'm hopping this is possible because it would save me a lot of time.

Does anyone know how to accomplish this or a better (faster) way of embedding all my games?

Thanks,
SuperPaperSam

I have a challenge, I am a formula one fan, and on the official website www.formula1.com they allow you to see short videos from each race (http://www.formula1.com/video/race_edits.html).

Before they used a simple flv flash system and you could get the source of the video, but they now have changed their system, and it seems difficult to access the source, i'm not interested in hacking or any other activity other then learning more about the architecture of this system, so if anyone has any thoughts about this, please reply, they use a content delivery system by velocix... and an xml file with infohash information, but I don't understand how it's working...

Svg Problem

Sun, 09 Aug 2009 17:58:14 -0400

I created the SVG below to use with my web page, which works fine locally on every browser except IE, which works fine with the plug-in. When I upload the files to my school's web server (its linux, that's about all I know), it only works on IE. FF thinks it needs a plug-in, and Opera and Chrome just display the text of the .svg file.

I tried the , and tags as found here:

http://www.w3schools.com/svg/svg_inhtml.asp

I did convert it to a JPEG sucessfully, and could possibly combine it with the picture it draws over, but the JPEG has a white background and the program I'm using (Paint.NET) doesn't seem to have a way to ignore the background color. I could layer the two pictures in CSS/HTML but then I have the same problem. I read GIFs have a transparent background by default but changing to that type didn't seem to accomplish anything.

Would appreciate any advice on either approach. I could probably access photoshop through my school if I could get some idea of how to go about stripping the white from the layer.

thanks

Misalligned Slices When Inserting Flash Video

Thu, 30 Jul 2009 14:29:00 -0400

I'm building a basic html web page and attempting to insert either a .flv or .swf file. The aspect ratio of the video is 640 x 480, the same as the underlying gif. I'm new to web design and Dreamweaver so please excuse the lack of knowlege. I exported the video from Premier as a .flv, then publish it in Flash 8 as a .swf. My method of adding the video has been to insert it before a background element (gif based on photoshop slice) that's exactly the same dimensions as the video, 640 x 480. I have only recently discovered the slice tool in Photoshop, and am assuming that when adding custom buttons or videos in Dreamweaver, I should replace same-size gifs. Is this the correct method? No matter how I tweak the page in DW, I get a gap at the top or bottom of my video, which causes other background gifs on my page to not line up.

Here's the page http://luminousink.com/bizport.html

When previously building a site, I inserted Layout Objects, then inserted the video. I discovered however that depending on each computer's screen resolution, the elements on my site would shift all over the place. So far on this site, inserting rollover buttons that are the same size as the background slices has worked, without causing any shifting. But now, when trying to do the same thing with Flash video, the background gifs become misalligned.

What is the correct way to insert video into a page and prevent if from shifting? Do I need to put in a table? Thanks for your help.

This is the first frame that will always display by default.

This is the login system.

This is where you mark something that has been updated recently.

I can manage the login system, but how do i go about making the other part of the system? I want the main default page to reset every week, so the stuff that i mark as being updated has been updated within the past week. But i don't know how to store the information and have it reset every week. any help would be greatly appreciated.

Flash Banner Help

Sun, 21 Jun 2009 15:12:52 -0400

Currently, I have a script that loads and rotates images on my website. It does the job perfectly, but because of the large image file sizes, and because I do want to add more images, I have found a flash alternative that loads much faster and will allow me to add more images. I am having some difficulties getting it setup, however.

First, here is a link to the Banner that I am trying to use on my website:

http://www.weberdesignlabs.com/blog/?p=33

It is free for download and use, and it does exactly what I need, which is why I would really appreciate anyone who could help me to get it functioning properly.

I changed the dimensions of the stage in the .fla file in Adobe Flash and resaved it as an .swf. Though this did change the movie to the right size, my images are still being cut off to the size that the banner was previously set at.

Here, you can see the green banner (it's not a banner that I would actually use, just a filler image). It's actual resolution is 791x190, but for some reason, Flash is not allowing it to take up the entire stage.

If anyone could help I would appreciate it. If anymore information is needed from me, feel free to ask.

Preview Fine - Disappears On Site

Tue, 16 Jun 2009 20:03:53 -0400

Hi again everyone.

I've added a new section to my site for a couple of videos which I've exported in flv format.
I've added a couple of new pages for each video and clicking on a link will take you to the right page for the video.

I've tested everything in Dreamweaver and it's preview so I know everything works locally and that's alright.
However when I've uploaded everything in the right folders in my FTP the site all works apart from the actual videos.
The videos don't show up where they're meant to and I don't understand why.

Naturally I've tried to do some reading around this and I'm suspecting it's something to do with the way the video is linking after upload?
I know that on both my computer and my FTP I've made sure I've made a folder called videos which is spelt the same in both places
and the movie files uploaded straight from my computer so no mistake there either.

My site is at: www.kingmancheng.co.uk

If you click on Videos you'll see a couple of links in the page (which I'll adjust) and when you click into them they'll take you into
those blank pages. >_<

Ie Frameset Post Request

Tue, 16 Jun 2009 17:19:21 -0400

I seem to have ran into a strange bug and wanted to know if anyone knows anything about it.

When I have a Flash movie that's inside a frame or an iframe, and inside the Flash movie I send a request using POST, in IE it leaves out the Content-Type header. The result is that the request body doesn't get decoded and there is no data in post. This is only in IE, and only happens when the Flash movie is inside a frame. Using Fiddler, I was able to see that the request does actually include all of the post data, but the only difference between the request from inside the frame and the request from a standalone page is that the frame request lacks the content-type header. Both of these techniques are giving the same results in both situations:

CODE

    var export_movie = this.createEmptyMovieClip("export_mc", this.getNextHighestDepth());
    export_movie.l = l;
    export_movie.data = data;
    export_movie.getURL("export_rtf.asp", "_blank", "POST");


    var export_lv = new LoadVars();
    export_lv.l = l;
    export_lv.data = data;
    export_lv.contentType = 'application/x-www-form-urlencoded';
    export_lv.send("export_rtf.asp", "_blank", "POST");

So I'm trying to send variables called "l" and "data" to an ASP page, and with LoadVars I even specify the content type, but there's still no header in IE from the frame.

Has anyone seen this before?

Here are the headers from a request from inside the frame:

CODE

Cache-Control: no-cache
Connection: Keep-Alive
Content-Length: 329
Accept: */*
Accept-Encoding: gzip, deflate
Accept-Language: en-us
Cookie: ASPSESSIONIDACQDRDBD=OFCCLHIDJNOJGCOHGBHPLENA
Host: www.domain.com

Notice how the content-length indicates that there is in fact content, but there's no content type.

Is This How You Embed A Flash Object

Thu, 04 Jun 2009 20:58:23 -0400

What I know about javascipt you could fix on half a page. I'm still getting competent with CSS. Anyway I'm overhauling a site and looking at this code and other objects I've had to embed it seems to me that this is two ways of doing the same thing. Could I just leave off the javascript at the top and start with the object code and get the same results? or am I missing something/reading it wrong?

CODE

<br />        /pub/shockwave/cabs/flash/swflash.cab#version=8,0,0,0" width="766" height="600" id="main5_v8-good" align="middle"><br />    <br />    <br />    <param name="allowScriptAccess" value="sameDomain" /><br />    <param name="allowFullScreen" value="false" /><br />    <param name="movie" value="main5_v8-good.swf" /><param name="quality" value="high" /><br />    <param name="bgcolor" value="#0b0f11" />    <br />        align="middle" allowScriptAccess="sameDomain" allowFullScreen="false" type="application/x-shockwave-flash"<br />    pluginspage="http://www.macromedia.com/go/getflashplayer" /><br /><br />    </object><br />

if you're going to copy-paste note that a lot of it was one one line and it was breaking the codebox so I had to break some of it.

Background Color From An Xml File

Hello all,
I have Googled this a couple ways and have found absolutely nothing.
I simply want a flash file to get it's background color from an xml file.
Eventually I will change the xml file to a php file that gets the color from
a database. Then I will have a member pick their own color scheme.

Thank you.

Worth $349?

Mon, 25 May 2009 03:51:03 -0400

Hello, I'm new to W3S. I'm 19, and I'm kind of tight on money.

So, I'm looking into buying the Adobe Creative Suite 4 Web Premium, and I'm wondering if it's worth it. I only have about $1000 left. I can get the whole lot for $349 with the Higher Ed. discount. I added everything included up, and saw that all the products included add up to $3,250. I see I can get it all for almost 10% of the price, and I think it's worth it. Are there any reasons I shouldn't?

Also, for $50 more, I can get Adobe InDesign. Is that worth it, either?

Thanks a lot,

Jonathan Lee

Start And Stop Buttons

Sat, 23 May 2009 23:17:47 -0400

Hello everyone,

I have been trying to figure this out but have had no luck. What I need to do is LINK an audio clip to my start and stop buttons that I have created.

So my first question is:

1.) How do you link an audio clip to symbol?
2.) How do you make the Stop button functional
3.) How do you make the Start button functional

My start button should start playing the .swf file and the stop button should stop it. And I each button should play the .wav file I created each time they are clicked. How do you go about doing this?

FYI I am in Iraq and a lot of the website I need to visit are sometimes blocked.

Starting/stopping Swf Within Html

Hi,
This couldn't be simpler - but I can't get it to work. When the page loads, I get a player (great) but the music plays as soon as I load the page. I can stop and start it with the player controls. Question is: how do I prevent it from playing on load???

What Is The Actionscript 2 Code?

Wed, 13 May 2009 03:42:49 -0400

Hi,

I've been following the tutorial some more
(see my original thread: http://w3schools.invisionzone.com/index.ph...mp;#entry137753 )
... and I've come across another problem but I think its got to do with the fact that now that I know the tutorial is written for ActionScript 3 - whereas if you read above, you will see that I had to turn my ActionScript settings to ActionScript 2.
The ActionScript he provided was:

CODE

on(release){
photos_mc.gotoAndPlay("img1");
}

What is the above ActionScript for ActionScript 2
???

Let me know, thanks guys!

Keep Getting Error Message Using Onrollover Actions Script ...

Tue, 12 May 2009 07:32:49 -0400

Hi,

I am trying to follow a tutorial TutVid has put on youtube.
Please click this link
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=cylX1lThTN0

scroll to the time:
12:33

Here he is adding an actionScript ... I've added the exact actionscript he put there:

CODE

thumb1.onRollOver=function(){
this._alpha=100;
}

thumb1.onRollOut=function(){
this._alpha=45;
}

... BUT I get the following ERROR messages when I try "test movie" or "test scene":

1119: Access of possibly undefined property onRollOver through a reference with static type flash.display:SimpleButton.

and

1119: Access of possibly undefined property onRollOut through a reference with static type flash.display:SimpleButton.

I've tried googling the problem and fiddeling around with the code and I haven't come right!

Some say its because of actionscript3 ... but what is the problem?
Please could you let me know what I must replace this code with in order for it to work as I would really like to continue throught the rest of TUTVIDS tutorial!!

Flash Object And Embed Tag (part One)

Mon, 27 Apr 2009 03:23:09 -0400

Inserting a Flash (SWF, FLV) file into HTML web page is already an old and familiar thing to all of us. It is a rather non-flexible thing that just to edit some options in the template. However, I did not understand some parameters totally in the HTML tag. These days when I was surfing the Internet I have found some comprehensive introduction to these two tags. I read it and conclude it with my own words; I think it will be useful to us, so I wrote this article.
This article includes two parts:
1. General introduction to the two tags.
2. Why do we use all the tags above? Is there any tag that can be left out?

1. General introduction to the two tags.
To display Flash correctly on web page, HTML tags which indicate the path of the Flash file is needed in the web page. These HTML tags are OBJECT tag and EMBED tag. OBJECT tag is used for IE on Windows, while EMBED tag is for Netscape Navigator on Windows and Macintosh and IE on Macintosh. IE on Windows play Flash with ActiveX component while other web browsers play Flash with Netscape plug-in technique. The code below is an example used to embed Flash file to web page.
Example HTML Code:

Part 2 "Why do we use all the tags above? Is there any tag that can be left out?" will be continued soon enough:)

I am really keen to start learning flash and animation. My XHTML, JavaScript and PHP is really starting to get concrete and I'd like to move onto more complex stuff - to really get web pages to "dance". Besides the adobe software, are there any other flash software packages (preferably open source as I'm really not in a position to afford the big guns) or animation packages that anyone has tried. I would appreciate any advice or suggestions.

Scale Window

How do people make Flash websites scale the browser window, like this and how do they make it crop the edges if the browser is too small rather than scale the flash file down? I guess the background will have to be much bigger that the content?

Interactive Desktop

Tue, 07 Apr 2009 15:33:01 -0400

I apologize that this is not directly web related. I've just received a request to create a desktop wallpaper that includes a timer that counts down to a scheduled event. I know that Windows XP had a way to use web-based interactive desktops, but that Vista has removed that feature. As this request is for a computer running Vista, using the web-based interactive desktop is not an option.

I don't expect somebody to know exactly how to do this (but if you do, that's great!). I'm merely looking for somebody to point me in a direction.

Randomising Image Movement

Tue, 07 Apr 2009 13:44:31 -0400

I wonder if somebody could help me please.

I'm working on a site that I want to have letters floating about in, but I'm not sure exactly how to do it. I want the letters to smoothly float around a restriced area.

I've got:

CODE

m.onEnterFrame = function() {
    var maxMoveValue=50;
    this._x += (Math.random()-0.5)*maxMoveValue;
    this._y +=(Math.random()-0.5)*maxMoveValue
};
i.onEnterFrame = function() {
    var maxMoveValue=50;
    this._x += (Math.random()-0.5)*maxMoveValue;
    this._y +=(Math.random()-0.5)*maxMoveValue
};
s.onEnterFrame = function() {
    var maxMoveValue=50;
    this._x += (Math.random()-0.5)*maxMoveValue;
    this._y +=(Math.random()-0.5)*maxMoveValue
};
h.onEnterFrame = function() {
    var maxMoveValue=50;
    this._x += (Math.random()-0.5)*maxMoveValue;
    this._y +=(Math.random()-0.5)*maxMoveValue
};
m2.onEnterFrame = function() {
    var maxMoveValue=50;
    this._x += (Math.random()-0.5)*maxMoveValue;
    this._y +=(Math.random()-0.5)*maxMoveValue
};
a.onEnterFrame = function() {
    var maxMoveValue=50;
    this._x += (Math.random()-0.5)*maxMoveValue;
    this._y +=(Math.random()-0.5)*maxMoveValue
};
o.onEnterFrame = function() {
    var maxMoveValue=50;
    this._x += (Math.random()-0.5)*maxMoveValue;
    this._y +=(Math.random()-0.5)*maxMoveValue
};
u.onEnterFrame = function() {
    var maxMoveValue=50;
    this._x += (Math.random()-0.5)*maxMoveValue;
    this._y +=(Math.random()-0.5)*maxMoveValue
};
l.onEnterFrame = function() {
    var maxMoveValue=50;
    this._x += (Math.random()-0.5)*maxMoveValue;
    this._y +=(Math.random()-0.5)*maxMoveValue
};

and it works in so much as the letters randomly move, but they move around the whole of the screen and move in a jagged way. I'd like them to move around an area that is 650 pixels wide by 220 pixel height, but am a bit lost on how to be that precise so would appreciate any help.

Thanks

Flash And Internet Explorer

Fri, 20 Mar 2009 23:24:33 -0400

So I've been getting back into flash again after a while, and for some reason, it seems like IE is being a dink with my flash movies. It appears having active x disabled cause flash movie not to work. It works fine when you enable it, but do you guys think most people have activex disabled on their browsers? Maybe I'm a noob and I'm missing something obvious, but what do I know?

btw, this was with IE 6 + 7.

Also, any thoughts on IE8?

Media Flash Player

Wed, 18 Mar 2009 12:41:51 -0400

I have a site that is using some flash that is not loading on laptops. I suggested that Flash Player be loaded on these laptops which I think is the problem. Is there an appropriate way to construct a website using Flash where Flash Player may need to be downloaded besides creating a separate site with html?

I know there is a way to search the computer and let the person know that Flash player may need to be loaded to view this web site properly. But I’m not sure how to do this.

Or is there a correct way to embed Flash files in a site so they load for all users???

Any suggestions???

Thanks

Flash Fullpage And Fullscreen Tutorial

Mon, 16 Mar 2009 14:00:20 -0400

In this tutorial you will learn how to create a fullpage and fullscreen flash website and how to dinamically allign all the elements on the stage.

Click here to see a sample of the movie.

You will need two very easy to use javascript files:
- SWF Object to embed the swf file on your page. Download it here.
- SWF Fit that resizes your flash movie automatically if your browser window size is smaller or greater than your flash minimum desired size keeping it accessible independent of screen resolution. Download it here.

The flash movie

1. First we will create the scene with all the elements we need.
More exactly we will draw 9 shapes that will represent the 9 areas of the stage which we will align. Convert all of these into movie clips (select each one and press F8):
- Top Left (set name to top_left)
- Middle Left (set name to middle_left)
- Bottom Left (set name to bottom_left)
- Middle Top (set name to middle_top)
- Center (set name to center)
- Middle Bottom (set name to middle_bottom)
- Top Right (set name to top_right)
- Middle Right (set name to top_right)
-Bottom Right (set name to top_right)

Don't forget to also name the instance not just the symbol (see below).

Return Var From Sendandload

Fri, 06 Mar 2009 09:45:10 -0500

Hello-I have a question about my return var from a sendAndLoad.

I am doing a sendAndLoad to an aspx Page sending and receiving vars. When I get the return vars back from the aspx Page I do receive the correct var but it also brings back the entire aspx source code.
Why does it do this?
How can I stop it from bringing the aspx source code back?

When I debug on the aspx side it shows only the value of the var not the aspx source code. So I know I am not passing that to flash........at least not knowingly.

This is what is returned to me: (the correct var of "HP OfficeJet Pro" then it shows all the code)

QUOTE

HP OfficeJet Pro

I am Using Flash 8 AS 2.0 & VB ASP.Net 2.0

Hopefully the code below will make more sense. Thanks in advance.

Action Script:

CODE

sendVars = new LoadVars();
resultVars = new LoadVars();

sendVars.desc = _root.desc_fld.text;

sendVars.sendAndLoad("ITrequest.ASPX",resultVars,"POST");

resultVars.onLoad = function(success) {
			if (success) {

_root.desc_fld.text = resultVars.desc;
QUOTE 
This is where I place the return var so I can see the results.


			} else {
				trace("There has been an Error.");
			}
		};

ASPX Code: (to return the var back to flash)

CODE

Protected Sub form1_Load(ByVal sender As Object, ByVal e As System.EventArgs) Handles form1.Load

        Dim desc As New String("desc=HP OfficeJet Pro")
        Response.Write(desc)

End Sub

Thanks for any help you may be able to provide.

Simple Streaming Audio Player

Thu, 19 Feb 2009 17:36:23 -0500

Hey, guys!

I've got a problem with a set of SWF files that I'm trying to load into a static HTML site to play audio. There are three files: media-controller.swf (a stop, pause, and play buttons), music_loop.swf (2 WAV files; intro and loop, set on keyframes, set to play the intro once and then infinitely play the loop), and c.swf (a container document that calls music_loop.swf).

media-controller.swf is a shared resource, called by music_loop.swf to allow the user to stop and start the loop at will.

music_loop.swf has the following AS applied to it:
keyframe 2780: gotoAndPlay(349);

c.swf has one movie clip ("container") embedded in it, one keyframe, and the following AS:
keyframe 1: container.loadMovie("music_loop.swf");

I'm using jQuery's SWFObject to load the movie, which is working when I load c.swf, but the music_loop.swf file never loads.

When I test this on my local machine, the file loads fine and loops as it's supposed to. However, online, I cannot get music_loop.swf to load, no matter if it's referenced by another SWF or called directly.

Does anyone know what I'm doing wrong? Or, because this seems like a cumbersome way to accomplish what I thought would be a relatively simple task, does anyone know a better method of embedding two audio clips in an HTML site that will loop seamlessly?

Thanks so much!

Critical Bind - Need Help With A Flash Gallery

Tue, 03 Feb 2009 15:57:30 -0500

Hello, I hope someone might be able to help me out, I seem to have bitten off more than I can chew...

I am trying to integrate a CMS into a clients site that has quite a bit of Flash, including several flash galleries. I'm not familiar with Flash, but I kind of guessed that there was a separate repository for the photos to be displayed. Unfortunately for me, this does not seem to be the case. The site that I was presented with (I think it was developed with Freeway) has only a few small portions of code for the Flash movies and galleries, posted below. From what I gather the .swf files in the code are pre-compiled and not editable. Is that right? Maybe someone could shed some light on how I could change the pictures in the photo gallery without having to recompile. Here is the website and the code chunks:

that you can change.

Anyone any ideas?

Because of these errors the scroll bars on the site aren't working (they just constantly flicker and won't scroll). I've tried contacting the site that I bought the template from, but after two weeks I still haven't had a reply from them. Is there anything that I can do to fix this problem?
Thanks

How to Convert SWF to AVI and other video formats easily?

Mon, 01 Dec 2008 20:39:48 -0500

In computer graphic processing, especially in Adobe Photoshop, a color image file is composed of one or more channels, and each channel contains the color information of the image. The 3 basic channels are: RGB for red, for green and for blue. There is a necessity and importance to find a word to describe the transparent channel, and this transparent channel is called alpha channel. It is always taken for granted that the alpha channel is a �non-color� channel.
Moyea SWF to Video Converter Pro is a professional tool to convert SWF to video, and is the unique conversion tool in the world that supports the conversion of SWF to AVI with alpha.

To launch the software, download from: http://www.swfkits.com/swf_to_video/

1. Input the Flash Files:
Click �Browse�� tab to input the flash files from your computer folder. Click �V� immediately behind, a drop list will cascade automatically. Choose among �From Folder�, �From IE cache� and �Flash Projector�, and there will be a dialog box accordingly pops up. Choose the file in those dialog boxes and click �OK�. On the right of the pane are the properties of the current playing flash.

Capture Pictures
Click the �Original� in the Background Color box, there will pop up a pigment pane, you can select one color or just DIY a color for your video background. Click the �Camera� tab to capture a picture of the playing flash, and the image files are saved as JPEG format files. Click �folder� on the right to check for its saving folder. You can click the button continuously for pictures, and check them together. Click �Crop� in the menu to crop the video.

2. Crop the Video
Click the button �Crop� and the following interface will pop up.
Crop the video. Crop the video size by changing the values on the right of the pane. Choose �Select All�, and the video will keep the original size. Or simply move your mouse cursor on the video pane to make it.

Tips:
a. Add image water mark: check the �Add image water mark� box to add an image to the video --- click �Folder� immediately behind to browse for the image from your folder --- click �None� in the box to set the transparency of your image. �None� is for no editing, and on clicking �Select��, a dialog box pops up automatically.
b. Edit the image. Set the RGB values to DIY a color, showing in the bar below. Drag the tolerance bar, you can easily get the picture altered in pixel; drag the Alpha bar to adjust the opacity of the picture. Click �OK� to continue.
c. Set the image position. Place the position of your image by changing the values on the right side. Click the lock in the core, and you can set one certain value without changing other values.

How to convert SWF to FLV / DVD / VCD / SVCD?

Mon, 01 Dec 2008 20:05:37 -0500

I. What is FLV?
FLV, or Flash Live Video file, is a preferred file format that is designed for web playback, offering high rates of compression to deliver video over the Internet using Adobe Flash Player.
FLV content cannot be played back directly but must be embedded in (or linked from) an SWF file. You create (or download) a �container� SWF file from which to play the FLV file. The most common approach is to use an SWF file that functions as a media player with screen and playback controls. Notable users of the FLV format include YouTube, Google Video, Reuters.com, Yahoo! Video and MySpace.

II. What is SWF?
The SWF file format (pronounced �swiff�) delivers vector graphics, text, video, and sound over the Internet to AdobeFlashPlayer software. The SWF file format is designed to be an efficient delivery format, not a format for exchanging graphics between graphics editors. It is designed to meet the goals of On-screen display, Extensibility, Network delivery, Simplicity, Scriptability, Speed, Scalability.

Trouble loading swf's in AS3.0

Tue, 18 Nov 2008 12:02:45 -0500

Hi people!

The last time I used Actionscript, the current standard was 2.0, and I realize things have changed. I encounter my problem when trying to load a swf into a movieclip-container on the "main page".

CODE

homeBTN.addEventListener(MouseEvent.CLICK, myButtonFunction);
function myButtonFunction(event: MouseEvent) {
_root.contents.loadMovie("commercial.swf");
}

Flash responds with:
1119: Access of possibly undefined property contents through a reference with static type flash.display:DisplayObject.

The coding in line three used to work in AS2.0, and I've been searching the web forward and back for many hours now without a final solution.
Could anyone please give me any pointers?

Thanks in advance :-)

how to allow .swf or mp4 video play streaming without delay

Sun, 12 Oct 2008 23:48:59 -0400

I just ran out of ideas where I can find information of how to. I am running ubuntu 8.04 with apache,mysql, php. I designing html page to just make available movies and educational videos for my home network as a test. Here is my code to how I am linking.

CODE

<h3><a href="MyVideo.mp4"
target="_blank">Myvideo.mp4</a></h3>

My problem is that the movie doesn't play until it is all downloaded. How do I get it to start playing right after it is clicked on and while it is downloading the full video?
Similar to how a youtube video or any online video. You press play and it starts playing buffering the full video. I can't figure it out in html.
I guess at least lead to me to what I need to learn so I can accomplish do this, like I don't know if php will help, I studied a little or basics of html, xml, and javascript.

Thanks

Flash and search engines

Fri, 10 Oct 2008 15:05:44 -0400

Hello,

I'm brand new to these forums, I've been working with dreamweaver for 4 years and Flash for 1 month. I know that search engines like google not only look at your meta tag within your webpages but also look through the text in the document.

My questions is can a search engine look through the Flash file at all to look for keywords in the text?

Here is a example of my abilities with Flash

Thank you
