Newbie flash site help needed

I am building my first website (for photography) and I am
trying to learn as much as possible to do it right. I bought a
flash template from Tempate Monster.com (#11226) and I have
modified as needed, to include my name, and my photos. Can I upload
this site as a whole onto the net? or do I need to input that into
Dreamweaver or similair? Next question, is as the pages are all
movies essentially, can I add more pages? And lastly, can I
reference a 2nd flash template from the first, as I want to buy
another template, which is more geared towards a photogallery,
rather than an information database.
Thanks for your time, I feel I am right there....but then
again, so far away!!!

Hi there, looks like you posted this one a couple days ago
but incase you come back to check I think I can help.
Well, if you're using a template within flash you can simply
use shift+F12 to publish the site. It will create a .html, and .swf
file in the same directory you have the .fla flash file stored. To
publish to the web, upload the .html and .swf file to your public
web directory. Simple as that.
no problem linking pages etc. Just create a button and link
use getURL(website,"_self") in your onRelease event handler. Happy
to give more detail if you like.
Cheers,
Tom

Edit website flash template - help needed

Hi! I am about to buy a website flash template. Before I buy the template I want to make sure, that I am good enough to edit to my needs.
I downloaded a free flash template and I tried to edit it in my Flash CS5.
I have had a lot of trouble editing it and I can't even figure out how I change the pictures or the text.
Can anyone help me and maybe give me a little tutorial on how to change the template.
Link to the template: http://www.flashmo.com/preview/flashmo_247_3d_touch_ring
Thank you!

The photos are taken from a XML file. Open the XML file flashmo_247_photo_list' in dreamweaver and look at the code it'll be easy to fiqure out if you have ever done any sort of HTML coding.
Just incase you have'nt look for Example below taken from the xml file which was provided with the .fla file
"<photo>
<thumbnail>s_photo_003.jpg</thumbnail> Change the image name for a thumbnail here i.e. directoryname/imagename.png etc
<filename>photo_003.jpg</filename> Change the image name for a the large image here i.e. directoryname/imagename.png etc
<tooltip>Photo Title 03</tooltip>
<description><![CDATA[Photo Title 03 goes hereIn velit urna, convallis id, pharetra in, iaculis sit amet, mi. Praesent consectetur imperdiet mauris. Suspendisse at pede vel lorem pulvinar laoreet. Etiam et neque. Donec dapibus viverra est.This text is dynamically loaded from the external XML file. This textfield supports HTML and CSS.]]></description> Here you have the option to have a discription about the image i usually just have the name of the image.

Adobe Flash CS3 help needed

I need help very badly....
Here is the reader's digest version.....
I purchased a flash website template for my local band to try
to elimate the pain of creating one from scratch. I never used
Adobe Flash CS3 before, but figured I could figure out enough
(through reading & forums) to change what I needed to
personalize my site. Well, I have spent countless hours learning,
and changing, and have come up with a pretty sweet website using
this template. I now have only 2 problems left that I can not
figure out no matter what I try.
One of my pages is set up so that fans can listen to and/or
save any of 3 songs that I have recorded in MP3 format. I have
basically 3 columns set up: the 1st column has the song name, the
2nd has speaker icons, and the 3rd column has floppy disk icons. I
want to be able to click the speaker graphic, and play the MP3
song, or click the floppy disk graphic and enable any fan to save
the file. I figure there has to be a fairly simple way to do this,
but I sure can't figure it out, and I'm starting to pull my hair
out. Please help....
Remember, I have just basic Adobe CS3 skills so a description
of what to do has to be fairly easy to understand....
Thanks in advance!!!

Newbie Flash Banners Help

First I am new to Flash and have mostly worked in PS.
I have created several animated banners in flash. The file sizes are large. I am trying to find a what is the best format and settings to use export these for upload into an website affiliate program (CJ).
I also want to know if I should have taken all of the media from PS and "saved for web" and stripped them down before I imported them to flash. I was hoping that there was a setting in Flash that would do that but I am not sure if there is one. The files for web banners are supposed to very small. I am just trying to understand how I should have created them and also how to publish them. I converted all of the images symbols thinking that would help. That did not.
Currently if I publish a gif they look horrible. I know I doing something wrong, but I just direction. They look great in flash but I am stuck. Any help is greatly appreciated.

http://swf-head.blogspot.com/2009/09/flash-optimization-performance-vs-file.html
You should save for web out of PS. If they need transparency, use png. If they are simply rectangles, use jpgs (about 65 - 70% out of PS). Then in flash, in the library right click on your jpg and hit Properties, uncheck "Use Imported Bitmap Data" and change that percentage to what ever you like - the higher the number the larger file size, the lower number the worse quality.
Text in flash looks much better. Keep in mind that fonts can carry extra weight.
Ned and KGlad are also right, make the images the correct size out of PS first.
There is a lot that goes into optimization, read the link above, its only part of optimizing - the images part.

Embedding Flash Video - Help needed!

I'm fairly new to Flash and trying to embed a video to my
website. When I import my video and test the movie, it works
perfectly, showing the controls at the bottom and everything. When
I add it to Dreamweaver and test the page, it only shows the video
(sans media controls) and automatically plays when the page is
loaded. What am I doing wrong??
I'd like to upload the flash video w/media controls beneath
it, to dreamweaver and it remain paused until the viewer hits the
play button.
Can anyone help?

Dreamweaver does not reflect full functionality, you need to
upload your stuff to
server or test in browser. Best way to make sure things
works.
If your HTML refer to the SWF in some directory, make sure
you have correct paths
to the player skin (the video controls).

Adobe Flash CS5 - help needed animating a sentence so each word fades in seperately

I am attempting to make a simple music video.
My aim is to have lyrics to the piece of audio appear in synchronisation.
There does not seem to be a simple way to fade in (and out) each word singularly allowing the alignment and sentence position to remain constant.
Please help.

Put the words on the stage as you want them to show when completed. Set that layer in the timeline as a masked layer. Add a new layer on top of that layer, set it to be a mask layer. In this new layer draw a rectangle that covers just the first word of your text. Move down a few frames and add a new keyframe to the mask layer. At this keyframe make the rectangle larger, to cover two words. Repeat as needed until all of the words are covered.
Here is a link to a video that shows something similar: Flash Masking Tutorial - YouTube

Flash pros help needed with code

I have been given task and dont know where to start.
I need to produce a small quiz that sends the selected values to an asp.net application form there populates the database with the values chosen.
Ive been told this is the best way to send values from flash to a database.
Can anyone help in how id even go about this?
below is a work flow of what i need to do.
thanks,

if all your radio buttons have the same group name (say gn), you can use:
var sendLV:LoadVars=new LoadVars();
var receiveLV:LoadVars=new LoadVars();
receiveLV.onData=function(src){
// do whatever
sendLV.data=gn.selection.data; // assuming your radio buttons have data assigned
etc
sendLV.sendAndReceive("submit.aspx",receiveLV,"POST"); // assuming your asp si expecting posted variables.

Flash sequence - help needed!

I'm trying to create an entrance page to a website in Flash.
Here is the sequence I'd like to achieve:
1. (Page loads) - only the background picture should be seen for around 1 second.
2. A translucient box-shaped menu unfolds (above the background, within an approx 1 sec time span) with two hyperlinked options inside.
3. If the cursor hovers over the unfolded menu box, the background fades to black and white - within approx 1/2 sec. time span, and if the cursor moves away from the menu box (returns to the background), the background changes back to its normal colour (in the same 1/2 sec. colour change sequence).
4. If the cursor hovers over one of the options then menu box, the text changes colour.
So far, I've attempted the menu but the unfolding sequence isn't very smooth. Ideally, the box would begin as a 1 pixel dot, shoot out both ways horizontally into a line, and then unfold into it's full size. But I can't seem to get the shooting motion of the pixel growing into a line - the pixel just becomes a line.
Any help would be much appreciated!
Cheers,
Bella

Are you using any kind of tweens for this? To get a line to grow from a dot, the easiest way is to first make the line, then squash it into a dot by chhanging its width. Make sure the line's registration is centered on the line.
If the menu is an object, you should be able to squash it down to a flat line by setting its height to 1 pixel. Then you can turn that into a dot by changing its width to be 1 pixel.
You can use either timeline tweening or actionscript tweening.

Hi,
Use the below code to load and play an audio:
import flash.events.Event;
import flash.events.ProgressEvent;
import flash.media.Sound;
import flash.net.URLRequest;
var s:Sound = new Sound();
s.addEventListener(ProgressEvent.PROGRESS, onLoadProgress);
s.addEventListener(Event.COMPLETE, onLoadComplete);
s.addEventListener(IOErrorEvent.IO_ERROR, onIOError);
/* testAudio.mp3 is located at the same path where the .swf file is placed */
var req:URLRequest = new URLRequest("testAudio.mp3");
s.load(req);
function onLoadProgress(event:ProgressEvent):void {
    var loadedPct:uint = Math.round(100 * (event.bytesLoaded / event.bytesTotal));
    trace("The sound is " + loadedPct + "% loaded.");
function onLoadComplete(event:Event):void {
    var localSound:Sound = event.target as Sound;
     /* Play the audio */
    localSound.play();

    trace("The sound could not be loaded: " + event.text);
For better understanding of Sound Class refer the link :

Adobe flash player help needed urgently!

cannot locate adobe flash player (AFP) after installing in windows 7, ie11.. wanted to open an animation and it suggested installing AFP... can anyone help urgently?

Launch Internet Explorer and navigate to http://helpx.adobe.com/flash-player/kb/find-version-flash-player.html
If you see an animation playing, then Flash Player is enabled.
If you don’t see an animation playing, then Flash Player is not enabled. In that case, click on the Tools icon in the top right corner of Internet Explorer. (The icon looks like a cogwheel.)
In the drop-down menu which appears, click Manage Add-Ons.
In the dialog which appears, select Toolbars and Extensions.
In the list of Add-ons, look for “Shockwave Flash Object” – which is another name for Flash Player.
In the Status column, check to see whether Shockwave Flash Object is Disabled. If it is, click the row for Shockwave Flash Object to highlight it.
In the bottom right corner of the Manage Add-ons dialog, click the Enable button.
Close the Manage Add-ons dialog.
Click Refresh to reload the webpage. If you see the animation playing this time, then Flash Player has been successfully enabled.

Need help getting Flash site running after pointed to new nameservers

Can't get Gaia site working on a new server
« on: Today at 03:10:35 PM »
Quote Modify Remove
Hi. I recently switched from 1&1 shared hosting to a new webhost, Holistic.
My Flash site (based on the Gaia framework) doesn't work now.
Using the Flashplayer Debugger, I got the following error:
from Main: view.scaleX = 0.9041666666666667 and view.scaleY = 1.0129032258064516
from Main: view.x = 0 and view.y = 0
Error: Failed to load policy file from xmlsocket://127.0.0.1:5800
Error: Request for resource at xmlsocket://127.0.0.1:5800 by requestor from http://www.yourgods.com/bin/main.swf has failed because the server cannot be reached.
*** Security Sandbox Violation ***
Connection to 127.0.0.1:5800 halted - not permitted from http://www.yourgods.com/bin/main.swf
Error: Request for resource at xmlsocket://127.0.0.1:5800 by requestor from http://www.yourgods.com/bin/main.swf has failed because the server cannot be reached.
Also got this note even though I've set allowscriptaccess to always in my index.html:
Warning: AllowScriptAccess='never' found in HTML. This setting is ineffective and deprecated. See http://www.adobe.com/go/allowscriptaccess for details.
Warning: 'com' has no property 'onEnterFrame'
Regarding the Security Sandbox violation, my old webhost was 1&1, and they are still the official Registrar of YourGods.com - but I now have YourGods.com pointed at the DomainNameServers for my new host, Holistic, which specializes in Drupal and has no experience with Flash - so I hope you'll bear with me and offer what guidance you can since they said I was basically on my own for troubleshooting any Flash related problems.
Is that likely to be the source of my problem (that I'm only 'pointing' to the nameservers and have only 'parked' my domain with the new host instead of transferring it completely?
And if so, do I just need to create a cross domain policy xml file like the one below and leave it on my Old Webhost?
<?xml version="1.0"?>
 <cross-domain-policy>
 <allow-access-from domain="MyNewDedicatedIPAddressHere" />
 </cross-domain-policy>
I've never dealt with this cross domain stuff before so any help would be much appreciated.

As a test, I uploaded my Flash/Gaia site into an existing site on my old host. And although the site actually works in this setting, when I run things in the FlashPlayerDebugger, I'm still getting Security Sandbox Violations - so (as adninjastrator suggested in earlier post), this may have nothing to do with the DNS changes - but perhaps with my setting things up wrong somewhere so that the Flashplayer is trying to access my local computer - maybe??
Debugger logs gives me this:
Error: Failed to load policy file from xmlsocket://127.0.0.1:5800
Error: Request for resource at xmlsocket://127.0.0.1:5800 by requestor from http://recreationofthegods.com/bin/main.swf has failed because the server cannot be reached.
*** Security Sandbox Violation ***
So, I've now uploaded the identical bin (which contains all the files for my site) - but I'm getting different behaviors on the two hosts.
On the new holistic servers, the site won't go past the first page: www.yourgods.com
On the 1&1 servers, I still get runtime errors in FlashPlayerDebugger - but the site runs ok - http://www.RecreationOfTheGods.com/bin/index.html
Posting those links in hopes someone with more experience in these sandbox issues can help steer me in the right direction.

Help Needed!! embeding a swf widget into a flash site

Hi all.
I am currently making a flash site for a band, and need to
embed an external SWF widget into it.
Its easy enough to embed it into HTML page, but idealy this
site will endup a single SWF file, to make distribution onto the
bands various pages (MYspace etc) easier.
The code to embed in html is:
<embed src="
http://www.soundclick.com/player/V2/mp3player200.swf"
width="200" height="140"
flashvars="bandid=850463&playType=band&ext=1&testMode=0&autoplay=1"
name="MP3PlayerBasic" type="application/x-shockwave-flash"
wmode="transparent" pluginspage="
http://www.macromedia.com/go/getflashplayer"
/>
Some one told me it should be no probs to embed a swf with
some sort of LoadMovie command, but he didnt have a qule about
assigning flashvars to it.
Any help here would ge greatly apreciated.
Cheers.
Sion

I am listening to you and was letting you know that the code that I am trying to use is probably from an old forum. The code that Flash CS4 cranks out is about 10 pages long which seems a little much just to import an .swf with a transparent background. I don't imagine CS6 would be much shorter.
From what I gathered, the html file checks to see what version of Flash you're using as well as what browser. The code for that is insane in my opinion and I am trying to keep my html file for my homepage rather small. I had no problem importing this in DW with a transparent background (when I was using DW) but am using Komodo Edit as my HTML editor now as it didn't come with Production Premium that I just got.
If you know the correct (newer) code, that would import an .swf with a transparency, that would be most be useful. If not I guess I'll just wait for someone to reply that does.
I will try to extract the code from the CS4 HTML file and use that, but did already try it once and it didn't work. If all else fails, I'll just download a trial version of DW and/or Flash CS6 and see if I can figure out how I did it on a website I developed a couple years ago (that I lost the files from in a HD crash).

Files needed to make Flash site live

My Flash site is now complete. At this point what are my next
steps in making my Flash site live (i.e., uploading to a server).
What are the necessary files that I need and do I need to use
Dreamweaver, and if so what is the process to make my site live in
that manner? Please help!

you can use Flash to publish your site.. File---Publish
Settings, make sure the .swf and .html boxes are checked, and you
can rename your HTML file, i like to use index since that is what
browsers look for first, then hit Publish... you can then open up
the newly created HTML file (found in the same folder as your FLA)
in a text editor, or dreamweaver, and edit the Title, and whatever
else you want, save, then upload the HTML and SWF file to your
server/hosting client..

Help need to switch Muse site to BC on a allready hosted plan

Hi, i also posted on BC forum...
I have a client that was in a hurry to have his emails accounts before the entire website.
So i went on and bought the email marketing plan (cos he will also need to do email campains) an pointed his domain everything is working fine, at this moment he has his accounts the domain is live.
The site would be just a small 7-10 pages not to complicated.
Has a graphic designer (who has venture into Business catalyst cos it had all the solutions i needed, well that's what the promotional videos said anyway) I made a site in Muse.
First i did a temporary page thats says "comming soon", and then i made the entire site, all the design and menu but with blank pages cos the client didnt have all the content yet (and still dont have). I uploaded that site to a sub directory so he could see the evolution.
He approved the design, yay!
At the end of the process, he told me he needed to have full control with the editor. (style, images, bulleted list, need to put downloadable document like pdf etc.) i told him that he could only modify what was allready there with the Muse in Browser editing (that he saw when i made the pitch using another site) he was impress with the way it worked.
so i told him i would have to remake "template".
I thought of using a BC template, and modify the looks to adapt to my client image, Of course, use a responsive theme so he could make the change at one place only. (cos in Muse you need to make the changes on the 3 layouts).
Now, i created a new temporary site using one of the new responsive template available.
How can i import that new site onto his live domain? In other words, how can a switch from a theme made in Muse, to a BC template?
cant i just delete everything in the root folder, and upload the entire new site via ftp?
please help me find the solution. i am a bit in a panic here
hope you could understand my lousy English.
Sincerely,
i.d.

This would need to be transparent for m'y client...

Thanks for additional details.
Unfortunately we cannot change site template of a live site in BC , but as a workaround Create a site from BC using the template you wish to use then publish the site from Muse to the site created from BC and transfer the contents stored from live site to trial site. Ater final transition is done , you can delete the already paid site and make live the new trial site which includes new site template.
Thanks,
Sanjit
