Absolute beginner seeking image fade help

Hi everyone,
I'm a complete novice with Dreamweaver making my first site, I've basically got a div with a background image in it and I'm trying to get an image to fade in over it on mouseover and fade out on mouse out. (I'd also like it to change the content of another nearby div but one thing at a time) I've added these behaviours using the fade/appear effect from the effect menu but theres a bit of a problem. What happens is that if I move the pointer quickly in and out of the DIV the mouseout event triggers before the image has had a chance to fully fade in, it jumps straight to 100 percent opacity then fades out, similarly if i move the pointer in and out several times quickly the image flickers on and off before fading. I'm guessing I need some kind of way of checking that an animation has finished before triggering the next event but I have no idea what this is or indeed where to put it.
Sorry if this has been answered somewhere else and I really appreciate any help you guys can give.

It's kind of hard to imagine how you've set up your animation
without knowing more about your project but if you have set your
fade animation within a movieclip, then put a stop(); on the last
frame of the fade. If you've set it up differently, please be more
specific and we'll try to help.

Help with Image fades

Hi,
Haven't used Flash in a couple of years now, and it has
changed a lot...so I am a bit behind with the times. I need to do a
site with a each section of the website having a background, that
fades in when the user goes there. I want the transition from
section to another to be smooth, and the new background image fade
in on top as the other fades out (at the same time!)
Also how do i make some of the links on my website HTML pages
and some flash? I need to be able to link back to the flash section
of a site when clicking on the flash section. I found an example on
the Louis Vuitton site, if you click on your account or newsletter
and then click back to the Services it will go back to that
specific section of the flash site.

Hope you can help, I want to start developing my flash skills
again.
Thanks

Absolute Beginner needs help

I've had my 30 GB color video iPod for a few hours, and feel totally lost.
I was able to connect it to my iMac, and the computer used iTunes to synch everything.
How do you turn it on or off? How do you stop it from playing music?
How do you set it up, or use the wheel to select stuff?
This is all very basic stuff, and I couldn't find the info in the help files or in this discussion forum.
Am I just plain dense?

To stop the iPod from automatically syncing with iTunes when you connect the iPod to the computer you will need to change some preferences.
Connect the iPod to the computer and then stop the iPod from syncing. While the iPod is still in iTunes i.e is still in the left column (sometimes it ejects the iPod when you stop it from syncing don't ask me why : /)
I will assume that you have the latest iTunes (if not you will eventually need to download it anyway) so all you will have to do is click on the iPod in the left column and click on the "Manually manage music and videos" box. Now you will have to drag songs/videos/playlists to the iPod.
To turn off your iPod simply hold the play button until it sleeps. Then you can put it on hold so it wont turn on accidently.
To select stuff... as in selecting a specific song? then navigate to the prefered song listing (songs or playlists artists etc) using the center button (sorry if this sounds obvious but you did say absolute beginner :P)
To stop a song selection from playing just push previous until you have gone past the first song. there may be easier ways but unless your playing 4000 songs its not very time-consuming
Hope this helps you out a bit look forward to some feedback and quires
This is probably covered in the links provided by b noir but this is just to focus on the specifics of your questions.

Image fade in

Hi there,
Is there somebody who knows if it's possible to have an image fade in on load in muse?
Thanks for the help!
Peter

If it's just an image that you'd like to fade in on load, you can use a Composition widget (Blank), load an image into it (and get rid of the extra triggers/targets), have Autoplay set to .5 second with Transition to Fading and with Hide all Initially option checked. That should give you the desired effect. To make the only remaining trigger invisible, take the trigger's Normal state and remove the default Fill/Stroke applied to it and at last move it over the target while making sure that the Triggers on Top option is disabled.
Thanks,
Vinayak

General questions from an absolute beginner

Dear all,
my employer would like to have me set up an online help for our software product. Since I am in the process of converting the current documentation to FrameMaker I have lightly issued the idea to use RoboHelp since we have the technical communications suite 2... I am saying "lightly" because I am freaking out a bit ever since I have tried getting into it, needless to say I have not been very successful and I was not able to find any "classroom in a book"-like help. I didnt find the Adobe help section for RoboHelp very... helpful, I just felt overwhelmed with all the information i didn't feel I needed at the point I was at. Is there a step by step documentation of some sorts for the absolute beginner who does not even have any xml or html skills worth mentioning (I am not sure to what extend those might be needed)?
Also from an advanced user's point of view, how developed will my html/xml skills have to be in order to really understand and get the best of this program? Depending on this I might or might not be able to book a class but it won't be of any use if i need skills I dont have (yet) in order to even understand the program. In the worst case I might have to do some research on alternatives, although I feel stupid, since the tool is available and im not sure if better alternatives would be easier to use as well...
I am happy for any advice, thank you!

Hi Jeff,
right now the problem is more "Getting Started" and im sure once I am at the point where I need to import the FM content this will be a helpful suggestion! But for now I was more wondering on whether there was a step-by-step thingy to help me get into it to begin with and whether i need a lot of xml/html to use RoboHelp...

Image-to-Image Fade Using External Files

Hi all,
I'm trying to create a fairly basic random image-to-image fader. I've got a LOT of images that need to rotate through and they've all been optimized, however the swf file just becomes too big w/all of them.
So what I was hoping I could do was use AS3 to load up a random jpg from an XML file, apply the fade effect, preload the next one it's planning on grabbing while the current one is being displayed, and repeat the process indefinitely. By doing this I'm hoping to keep the footprint of the application extremely small.
Is such a thing possible (I'm using a trial of CS5 at the moment) and if so, can someone point me in the right direction? I'm pretty new to AS3 so any amount of help would be greatly appreciated!

Yes, it is possible to do. You can probably search Google using terms like "AS3 XML slideshow tutorial" to get the whole thing in one package. Though what you might want to do is take it in steps so that you can come to understand how each aspect works.
The basic elements would involve loading an XML formatted bit of data into an array and using the Loader class to load the images, using a COMPLETE event listener so that you know when an image is loaded and ready to be processed into an object within the show.
Then you would want to look into using some actionscript tweening to get the alpha fading effect working for you. Flash has its own Tween class, and there are thrid party tween classes as well. I'd say use the Flash version first just to eliminate one level of complication for now (installing and using an external class). Many people recommend the thrid party tweening classes over Flash's.
You might also want to incorporate some form of Timer (the Timer class) to help manage when things change and/or when they load. If you have optimized your images already, then it would take less time for them to load, which means you probably do not want to use loading status to control the timing, but only as logic to enable timed actions.

Absolute beginner: Artistic (Chalk/Charcoal) Brush

First of all I apologize for this silly question; I am an absolute beginner (minus absolute) in Illustrator. I would have googled my problem but I don't even know what to google, to be honest. Here it is:
I drew a heart and would like to stroke it with a charcoal/chalk brush. I use a Wacom Intuos 4 tablet. When I stroke it (by selecting the path and clicking on the different brush samples in the brush library) the line "imitates" gesture drawing and does not stroke my shape with a unified (weight) line. Instead, it leaves a break between the end of my path and the end of the "gesture stroke. (The same thing happens with straight lines too: the stroke does not go up to the end of the line and often it does not start at the beginning of it.) I would also like it to be the same weight all along and not to get thinner in the end. Here is a picture of what I mean:
I know it is something really really basic but I can't figure out how to change this. Any help would be highly appreciated. And again, sorry for this absolute beginner question.

The path contains no data relating to your pressure or pen angle. It is just a uniform path. I’m not sure why Illustrator is not starting or ending at that point. It may be because the rectangular bounding box on the brush would overlap itself there. See what happens if you click on the point with the knife tool.
Here I used a Zapf Dingbats heart and converted to paths. On he left, the unmodified path. On the right, the path after clicking with the knife tool. This makes it an open path. You can still fill it if you want.

Absolute beginner's question: scaling video in embedded player

Hi folks,
I'm an absolute beginner in flash video embedding - my company has purchased FMS 3.5 and I have to -simply- stream videos from a server via following HTML-Code:
<object width="800" height="600" id="videoPlayer" name="videoPlayer" type="application/x-shockwave-flash" classid="clsid:d27cdb6e-ae6d-11cf-96b8-444553540000">
<param name="movie" value="../swfs/videoPlayer.swf" />
<param name="quality" value="high" />
<param name="bgcolor" value="#000000" />
<param name="allowfullscreen" value="true" />
<param name="flashvars" value="&videoWidth='800'&videoHeight='600'&dsControl=manual&dsSensitivity=100&serverURL=r tmp://<here the url>&DS_Status=true&streamType=vod&autoStart=true" />
<embed src="../swfs/videoPlayer.swf" width="800" height="600" id="videoPlayer" quality="high" bgcolor="#000000" name="videoPlayer" allowfullscreen="true" pluginspage="http://www.adobe.com/go/getflashplayer" flashvars="&videoWidth='800'&videoHeight='600'&dsControl=manual&dsSensitivity=100&serverU RL=rtmp://<here the url>&DS_Status=true&streamType=vod&autoStart=true" type="application/x-shockwave-flash">
</embed>
</object>
My problem is simply the scaling of the videos. The files are .flv-files and do stream very well from the source directory to my browser. But when I change the object-width or object-height the video is just cut instead of scaled.
If I change the videoHeight or videoWidth (in Flashvars) it has no effect. What am I doing wrong?
ps The player naturally scales the clips slightly larger than they really are. So I already guess that there's a setup-file with settings, but I have no idea where to look it up to configure the player.
I would appreciate your help!
Thanks in advance!

IN CASE someone has this problem too, it seems the standard Adobe stream player integrated in the FMS-Installation (...) cannot resize the video. So the solution seems to be using another player. I'll use the free FlowPlayer which I also used for replaying .flv-Files, and which has a rtmp-plugin for streaming. Good luck folks...

Flash Image slideshow help

Hello,
I am trying to make a image slideshow for my companies new website.
I used the Flash Image Viewer plugin from Dreamweaver, but it doesn't contain the transitional effect desired.
Every tutorial I find talks about advancing the images through an interactive control, I just want the images to change by themselves and do a fade transitional effect between images.
Can anyone please point me to a tutorial that has this w/o the intractive buttons? I have been looking on the internet for hours and can only find tutorials / example w/ the intractve controls.
Thank You for any positive direction in this.

Hmm... no luck so far. Thank You though for your suggestion.
I am really "green" to flash and was only confused by the template provided by Flash.
All I need to do is have images fade in and out of each other and then repeat over and over.
I know this isn't too hard. I found a tutorial that showed how, but my Firefox decided to close and I lost the page and haven't been able to find it since. Tried the history log, but no luck.
I will keep searchin...I know it's out there.

If you purchased the Perpetual Licensed version of Lightroom and received a 24 numeric serial number you will have to download the correct version from the link below.
Before doing the new installation you will have to uninstall the existing version from your computer (it is the Creative Cloud version) since it is requesting you to "renew your membership" . This process will not interfere with your Catalog file, Preferences or your personal files, it will just remove the existing application. Both versions are the same application just a different download and activation process.
Reboot your system then run the install of the Perpetual License download and input the serial number to activate. Things should be fine.

URGENT: button rollover animations and image fade ins?

Hello, I have a site where an image appears which has 6 words
on it. Each word will be a button where the following actions take
place:
on rollover a line draws through the button
an image fades in on the left and another on the right
when you click the button, a large window (not popup, prefer
within flash) appears with information, I guess an swf or mc would
work.
once you roll out the images fade out and the line draws in
other direction so it disappears
How can I code the buttons to do all this? I am using flash
8.
THanks!

Ok so far so good. IF you mouse over super saturday you will
see what happens. Now, what is the code when I mouse out so those 2
things that appeared will disappear? Also, when you click super
saturday, you will see an swf that loads but it loads in between
other layers and all other buttons are active outside the swf. How
do I overlay it over everything then also have a close button on
this swf? here is the code for a button:
blu.onRollOver = function() {
blu._parent.attachMovie("link8","blu_mc",1,this.getNextHighestDepth(10000));
sat.onRelease = function() {
loadMovie("popup_saturday.swf", "popup");
and the site so far:
