How to create an ad banner using Flash Catalyst

This should be an easy question to answer...I've been able to create a variety of ad banners using Flash Catalyst but none of the online tutorials show how to link the ad banner to a URL...i.e. when someone clicks on the banner.  I don't like the idea of having to create a button + Go To URL (on click) because the button doesn't appear on all screens/states, etc.
Is there a way to turn the entire project into a button without losing the animation action?  i.e. so that no matter what state the banner is in, if someone clicks on it, they go to the URL?

Hi Chris,
Thanks for your advice.  It's for our own sites, so we can accept the overhead.
The animation is simply fade in image, fade out image, fade in text message, fade out text message, fade in next image, etc.
So, when you say "they are instead wrapped inside a single custom component", I understand it conceptually but need a few details:
1.  Does this mean I first create the custom component (before doing anything else)?
2.  At what point to I import/load my Photoshop file with all of the layers?

  • How to create a slide show using Flash and some pictures

    I looked at many books but I can't find how I can make a slide show using flash. Can anyone give me some idea how I might go with this?

    What you should do is search Google for things like "Flash slideshow tutorial" or if you know what version of actionscript you want to use, try using that in place of "Flash" in the search terms.

  • How to creating a web banner in Flash CS3?

    Hi all,
    I'm very new to Flash CS3. Can anyone give me a step-by-step
    instructions on how to make a banner for a web-site? Or a link were
    i can find step-by-step instructions?
    I have googled it but found no real help. I have tryed
    "Youtube" hoping to even fine any one (most likely a child) with
    directions on how to do this. Funny thing is that it seems most 8
    year olds are better at Flash CS3 than I am & i'm 45.
    Anyway, if you can help please make it simple or for the
    simple minded. :)
    Thanks to all!!
    BJ

    I understand your pain...I just posted a similar request
    earlier today for help but finally figured it out on my own. I've
    done lots of searching online and used Adobe's Flash Classroom in a
    Book and also took an online ed2go class and I still don't have a
    good handle on Flash. Nothing seems to give clear step by step
    directions on animating images for web banners. You just have to do
    a lot of trial and error. These websites may help if you don't have
    time for the classes:

  • How to created a voting list in Flash Catalyst

    Hi!
    What I'm trying to accomplish is for a user to select an item in a list by checking a radio button then with that one item selected click a "vote" button and then have that vote recorded. Is this possible?
    what I have created so far is a Datalist with 46 items. The repeated item consists of a radio button, a small image and the name of the item. What I'd like to happen is for the use to select the item by clicking the radio button and then being able to click the Vote button and have their vote recorded. What happens now, is that I can select multiple items which i don't want, and I can't figure out how to record what's been selected with the "vote" button. What am I missing? Thanks in advanced.

    Hey Chris!
    I hope you get this! Well, I got the voting list set up and that's working. And we are adding in the scripts to capture the data in Flash Builder. But we've run into a problem. When we try to build the project as an AIR application it's hanging and won't finish. Now, in order to complete the project in Catalyst, I had to make a bunch of the images links. That's what is seeming to be the problem in Flash Builder. When we check the box to include the "Assets" it hangs. When we uncheck that box it runs and makes the application. Problem then is, most of the graphics are missing. What are we missing? Any fix to this? Please, please help! We need this done by Thursday and we weren't anticipating these problems.
    Thanks,
    Jim

  • How can we create such navigation buttons using Flash CS4?

    Hi,
    How can we create such navigation buttons using Flash CS4 is in the following website? Please help me with any such tutorial to make my custom navigation bar/buttons.
    http://city.reallusion.com/join.html
    Thanks.

    While the Note 4 is a reasonably large device it still falls into the phone layout bucket. We need this layout to function on very small screens some as low as 320 pixels high and 240 pixels wide. These sorts of devices don't have the space for a full toolbar.

  • How to create an image banner that slides left to right with mouseover?

    I need to create a web banner like the one on the following site:  www.gracelandbaptist.org.  I have been unabe to find anything on how to create such a banner.  I believe it was created in flash but am not sure.  I want my banner to work in the same fashion so that as the mouse is moved from left to right the banner will slide appropriately. Its possible that some java script might also have been used with flash.  If someone could point me in the right direction I would be most grateful.  Thank you.

    It is a Flash design and is unlikely javascript is involved with the interaction.  There are probably a couple of ways to approach such a design, but if you have no experience with Flash, you will probably struggle to create it.  The basics involve place the different images  in a movieclip and controlling the horizontal position of that movieclip based on mouse interaction/position.  THe position controls are based on what values are needed to have a particular section of the movieclip occupy the main section of the viewing area.  Actionscript Tweens are probably employed to manage the position transitions.

  • How to create a letterpress card using iPhoto on my iMac?

    How to create a letterpress card using iPhoto on my iMac

    You CAN'T do it with Flash Player. You'd need Flash Professional and you'll need to learn Actionscript. I've been through the Lynda.com training for Flash, and it's not something you learn in a few minutes or even hours, or can be gleened from a guide. It takes days and possibly weeks, even if you're already good with Photoshop and/or Illustrator and Fireworks.

  • FAQ: How do I create a scrolling panel in Flash Catalyst?

    A common challenge in web design is finding space in the available window to display all of the necessary content. One solution is to create scrolling panels. A panel creates a well-defined container for content in the user interface. By adding scrolling content and a scroll bar, you can place a large amount of information in a limited space. To create a scrolling panel in Flash Catalyst, you need:
    An object to define the panel area, such as a rectangle shape (optional)
    Scrolling content, such as a long block of text or a series of images (required)
    A scroll bar used to scroll the content (recommended)
    Follow these steps in Flash Catalyst Help to create a scrolling panel:
    Create a scroll panel component
    There are also video tutorials showing examples of different scrolling panels:

  • How to create custom report plugin using child region report metadata

    Hi,
    I want to ask for help on how to create custom report plugin using child region report metadata. My idea is to create a child region, a classic report and set the condition to never.
    Then i will query the child report metadata from apex view and use it to create a custom report like using jquery jq-grid. Any idea how i can create a process that will use the child report
    metadata? I dont know how i can create a process just like how apex work, how apex render report, coz i want it to be control using the standard apex report attribute. This plugin will
    render according to the child report attribute.
    Is there anybody here had ever done this?

    Hi Nicolette,
    Thanks for the reply. I know where to find the metadata, just asking for idea on how the rendering process will be.
    Start from determining column heading, column order until finish rendering the report. The same way how apex
    render the classic report.
    Previously this imy my rendering process:
    FUNCTION GETCOLUMN(P_REGION IN APEX_PLUGIN.T_REGION,
                         P_PLUGIN IN APEX_PLUGIN.T_PLUGIN,
                         P_VALUE  IN VARCHAR2) RETURN SYS.DBMS_SQL.DESC_TAB2 IS
        VSQLHANDLER     APEX_PLUGIN_UTIL.T_SQL_HANDLER;
        VCOLCOUNT       NUMBER;
        VCOLNAMES       VARCHAR2(2000);
        VAJAXIDENTIFIER VARCHAR2(100);
        VPAGESIZE       TYPEATTR := P_REGION.ATTRIBUTE_04;
        VJSCODE         VARCHAR2(32767);
      BEGIN
        VSQLHANDLER := APEX_PLUGIN_UTIL.GET_SQL_HANDLER(P_SQL_STATEMENT  => 'select * from s_emp',
                                                        P_MIN_COLUMNS    => 1,
                                                        P_MAX_COLUMNS    => 999,
                                                        P_COMPONENT_NAME => P_REGION.ID);
        VCOLCOUNT := VSQLHANDLER.COLUMN_LIST.COUNT();
        FOR I IN 1 .. VCOLCOUNT LOOP
          VCOLNAMES := VCOLNAMES || '{name: "' ||
                       UPPER(VSQLHANDLER.COLUMN_LIST(I).COL_NAME) || '",';
        END LOOP;
        APEX_PLUGIN_UTIL.FREE_SQL_HANDLER(VSQLHANDLER);
        RETURN VSQLHANDLER.COLUMN_LIST;
      EXCEPTION
        WHEN OTHERS THEN
          APEX_PLUGIN_UTIL.FREE_SQL_HANDLER(VSQLHANDLER);
          RAISE;
      END GETCOLUMN;
    So this is how i get the header for my report plugin. The same method is use to get the value / data for each column. This process is work. So now
    i want to extend my plugin so that i will use all attributes from the child report to render my plugin. So the column header, column order, all will depend
    on the child report. And the column display condition is set, it will also check the condition before render the column. Sounds like i want to reinvent
    the normal apex rendering process but this is what i want to achieve.
    I need help to find the correct logic for my render process. Don't want too much for starting, just want to render the plugin correctly, same with child report,
    same columns alias, column ordering and column  conditional display.
    Thanks,
    akulala

  • How to create a single report using 5 difftent reports

    Hi Experts
    how to create a single report using 5 repors in it.
    Example
    I have to create a Survey history report using
    Reports like Surevy 1
                      Surevy 2
                      Surevy 3
                      Surevy 4
                      Surevy 5
    Please suggest me.
    Santosh

    Use Analysis Process Designer (RSANWB) to feed each of the survey BEX reports to one DSO.  Assuming each of the surveys has something in common to compare.  Could also be used as a snapshot storage for the surveys in case history needs to be compared/archived. 
    Build the Direct update DSO with the survey objects.  Add needed time characteristics and/or version control objects to the key. 
    Data sources  will be the 5 surveys. 
    Add formula to hardcode version/time for history.
    Data target is the direct update DSO.

    2) How can i set the packet's information (e.g: packet's length, size of its header, etc) by using java?
    I am currently in a midst of this now and i hope that someone is willing to correspond to my questions and help me out of it.
    Thank you!

    I wan to create a customize packet where the user can
    define the header size, the packet's length etc. in
    the program......Then you get to write it to the connection yourself. Look at the OutputStream classes to see how to write low level output to a connection.
