Creating a interactive product demo in flash?

Hi All,
I have to create a interactive produc demo for one of the product, I have created every thing except the product rotation feature, I mean end user can rotate the product in 360 degrees as per the their wish using mouse. I have all sides of images of the product, but I don't know how to create the interaction, Please any one help me on the this.
Thanks in advance
Thanks and Regards
Santhosh Kumar Mallepaddy

I think you don't need a 3D model for this. I wasn't able to get the "model" to rotate where you could see either the top or the bottom "end on." Therefore, all you really need is the images going around the object in one dimension. In the case shown in the demo, this means all around the horizontal axis of the phone.
Once you have that, you would adjust the playhead in a mc containing those images, in order, based on the left and right motion of the mouse. You'd rotate the entire MC based on where the mouse is relative to the center.
Hope this helps!

How do I create an interactive rotating model in Flash from a 3D model created in Maya?

Hi,
I have never used Flash before!
I have created a 3D model in Autodesk Maya and I would like to use it to create something a user can interact with i.e. rotate it or zoom in and out using a mouse. I have been told that if I create a 360 degrees rotation animation in Maya and render it into JPEGs I can then import them into Flash. The next part is where I need help! Is there a way of doing this?
Many thanks.

Whatever interaction you want to involve will dictate what you need to do internally to make the movieclip react to interaction. Being that you have never used Flash before, you need to learn how to implement event listeners, for either or both the mouse and the keyboard.
Your best bet at finding some help with learning about event listeners would probably be to search Google using terms like "AS3 MouseEvent tutorial".
As far as exporting goes, what you are most likely to end up doing is to publish an swf. As far as my experience goes, Flash automatically sets up your Publish Settings to create an swf and an html page to display it in ( including whatever supporting javascript files are needed). If you wish to tailor the Publish Settings to produce other outputs, or want to change aspects of the defaults, then you need to acxcess the PublishSettings in the same File options where you find the Import command. The Publish command is also located there.

How do you create an interactive floor plan in flash using AS2?

I am attempting to make an interactive floor plan. I am sure that I have done it wrong, I am new to flash. So far I have outlined the rooms that I want to make "hot spots", turned them into buttons. Then I selected all the buttons and turned it into a movie clip called "mcbtns". I then turned it into a movie clip again, named it "mcbtninside"; this is where I house all of my buttons which have instance names "btn1" thru "btn11".
The images that corrospond with the rooms of floor plan are housed in a movie clip named "mcPhotos". On the timeline the photos are place at 10 frame increments, and the Action Script time line above them has frame names "img1" thru "img11", which corrospond with the photos every 10 frames. Frame 1 on the AS line has the code stop();
Now back to Scene 1...
Scene 1 frame 1 on the Action Script line I have in the following script:
mcPhotos._visible = false;
this.mcbtns.onRollOver = function() {
     mcPhotos._visible = true;
this.mcbtns.onRollOut = function() {
     mcPhotos._visible = false;
stop();
In frame 1 on the Action Script line within "mcbtninside" I have the following script:
var frameNum:Number;
function photoChange(){
     _root.photos.gotoAndPlay("img" + frameNum);
btn1.onRollOver = function(){
     frameNum = 1;
     photoChange():
btn2.onRollOver = function(){
     frameNum = 2;
     photoChange():
The code continues thru btn11.
So I am sure that I have gone wrong in many places. If someone could lead me in the right direction I would greatly appreciate it.

Take all the interactive code off the mcbtns movieclip, and even get rid of that clip if it serves no other purpose than to collect all the rooms. Assign the code to make the photos appear / disappear to all of the rooms... (what's shown below assumes mcbtns went away and the rooms are on the same timeline as the photos mc)
btn1.onRollOver = function(){
     frameNum = 1;
     photoChange():
     mcPhotos._visible = true;
btn2.onRollOver = function(){
     frameNum = 2;
     photoChange():
     mcPhotos._visible = true;
btn1.onRollOut = btn2.onRollOut = function(){
     mcPhotos._visible = false;
If you keep the mcbtns movieclip, then your button code would have to use a _parent reference to target the mcPhotos... _parent,mcPhotos.visible = etc... actually, I'm not sure where things lie in that aspect, so hopefully you can figure out the correct targeting

Flash CS5.5 or CS6 creating an interactive ebook /app for IOS

I'm in middle ground here as I'm able to create a simple app for IOS using CS5.5 and was wondering if I'm able to create an interactive IBook ( which is actually an app ) to know what I mean if you go to the Apple Book Store and download the free "Beatles" Yellow Submarine you will see the interactivity.
When I write middle ground I mean I just finished downloading CS6 and looking at some tutes so if this is possible, which I know I can get the interactivity but its just putting it in book form that I was curious about.
thx
RD

I misunderstood you, because I'm not english speaker. But I will try to answer..
You develop 1 app. This app will include all that you wants. Page - it's just object. Each object can contain another objects. Like a tree and leafs. So you simply make 1 page with any animations. Page 2 with any animations and etc and combine this to one APP.
Here is the link, you can get free 8 pages. Will be good if you can spent $1.99 =)))

This all done using Adobe Flash CS5.5 and Exported to Adobe Air, than published to AppStore.

How to use Flash to create an interactive diagram

Hi all.
I am an extreme newbie. I would like to create an interactive diagram and somebody said I should use Flash to do it.
The idea is to create an organisational chart (like the ones you can produce in MS Word 2010). Each position will have its own box or button. When a user clicks on that box or button, a Word document or internet link will be activated and take the user to this other resource.
Is it possible to do this in Flash?
The reason why I am choosing Flash is because I would like to make alot of these diagrams and they have to go into Moodle. Apparently Flash is the only program I should use to import the diagram into Moodle.
Can anybody please help me with some advice on how to do this?
Thanks
Sharyn

For the diagram end of things... start by creating the diagram in Flash. Whatever you intend to use as clickable items, create them as movieclip symbols so that you will be able to assign instance names to them. You assign instance names by selecting the object on the stage and entering a unique name in the Properties panel where it says <Instance Name>. That name will be used in the code you will use to create the clicking/linking functionality.
The the linking end of things, start simple... create a diagram that has just one item to click and get that one item working. What you learn from that can be applied to the larger version. The same as stated in the first paragraph applies. The only additional info you need is creating the actual code. To help with that you need to decide which version of Actionscript you will be using, which might depend on which version of Flash you are using. AS3 is the most recent version of Actionscript, and it first came into being back with Flash CS3.
The first thing you need to do to make a movieclip useful code-wise is to assign it a unique instance name. So you drag a copy of it out to the stage from the library, and while it's still selected, you enter that unique instance name for it in the Properties panel... let's say you name it "btn1"
In AS3, to make a movieclip work with code, you need to add an event listener and event handler function for it. You might need to add a few (for different events, like rollover, rollout, clicking it, but for now we'll just say you want to be able to click it to get a web page to open. In the timeline that holds that button, in a separate actions layer that you create, in a frame numbered the same as where that button exists, you would add the event listener:
btn1.addEventListener(MouseEvent.CLICK, btn1Click);
The name of the unique function for processing the clicking of that button is specified at the end of the event listener assignment, so now you just have to write that function out:
function btn1Click(evt:MouseEvent):void {
   var url:String = "http://www.awebsite.com/awebpage.html";
   var req:URLRequest = new URLRequest(url);
   navigateToURL(req);

Interactive PDF with mouse-overs was created in Illustrator, now pauses and flashes when opened in Acrobat

I have created an interactive PDF using Illustrator that has mouse-overs. When i export the file and then open it in Acrobat there is odd pausing on teh image bewteen mousing over it and the text callout that shold then display. Did I export or save incorrectly?

Thank you for both responses! I'm impressed with the fact that you're reading my post.
I'm new to tech matters with Adobe/PDF/Nitro tho I've been using them for several years.
The original file was created by an agency and given to independent contractor to use. I don't know which program they used to create the form. And I don't know what XFA or LiveCycle Designer means because I'm not technically sophisticated unfortunately.
I used Nitro 6 to populate the data and have a number of forms already filled out, which I periodically open and modify and resubmit. But Nitro 6 is acting sick, despite reinstalling several times. I'm attempting to see if it's worth transitioning to Adobe Acrobat, i.e., can I reopen the forms I've populated and continue to work with them. I like some of the Adobe features for other purposes (e.g., OCR).
Any help in determining how to open the form while keeping the data?

Interactive ROI Calculator using Flash Catalyst?

Hello, a client of ours has asked us to create an interactive ROI calculator similar to the one in the following link:
http://bit.ly/98vjCF
Our design and production department does work in Flash, mainly to create simple web banners, however they're not hardcore Flash developers by any means. We'll be upgrading from CS4 to CS5 with Catalyst soon. Is it possible to create an interactive ROI calculator using this software or would using a seasoned Flash developer be a better choice?
Thanks for any info.
henry

Hi Henry,
You can use Flash Catalyst to design the UI of your calculator, both for protyping and optionally for final production too. However, to do the actual calculations you'll have to write a bit of code using another tool. For example, you can import the Catalyst project into Flash Builder and wire up the calculation logic to the UI you've created. This gives you the option of having a nontechnical designer work on the UI, while a less design-oriented developer writes code without having to worry much about the visuals.
The underlying code used in a Catalyst project is Flex 4. This should be a snap for a seasoned Flash developer to work with. Or, a Java or JavaScript developer should also be able to get up to speed on Flex pretty easily (especially if the UI was already built in Catalyst and the dev is just wiring up the "business logic").
Hope that helps,
- Peter

Interactive product photography - HELP NEEDED

Does anyone know of a good tutorial that explains the
photography process for creating 360-degree interactive Flash
tutorials?
I have several small sculptures I would like to photograph

needed for a smooth rotation, and tips on stitching the frames
together.
I would also appreciate any recommendations on authoring
tools and final file formats - I'm currently looking at the
"360-Degree Interactive Product Viewer, V1.0" extension.
I will need only rotate and zoom functionality.
Thanks in advance for your help.

Wish to create an interactive indesign document with moving boxes that grow when hovered over

Hey guys,
I am using indesign cs5 to create an interactive flashpage. We want to have a series of boxes floating around the page and when one of them is hovered over it increases in size.
We are able to create the floating boxes and by duplicating the boxes and grouping them, we a re able to make them grow.
However, instead of growing towards the centre of the screen they seem to grow towards and then off the edge of the page. Would anyone be able to advise me as to how i can force them to grow towards the centre or even create a boundary they cant go over

Creating an interactive cd or dvd...

I've haven't found too much info about creating an interactive cd or dvd. I see that the new version of DVDSP touts features for doing such, but how good of a solution is it? If I were to make an inteactive DVD, say a quiz, would it play slowly on a consumer dvd player? Do these games/quizzes only work well on a computer? I've seen recommendations for Adobe products ; ie. Director. I would like to develop an interactive quiz. The idea is to have it play both on dvd players, as well as on computers. Is this feasible, or do I need two different solutions? Any suggestions of what software and solutions would be greatly appreciated.
Thanks in advance.
G5 DC 2.0 Mac OS X (10.4.8)

You have less flexibility using DVDSP, but whatever you do that works will work for a TV or for a computer, because the computer would just play it as a DVD-Video. There are some cases where the computer experience won't be as good, so I would expect everyone to prefer to use it on a TV.
Director is used for web based applications and games, and for downloadable applications and games, and for CD-ROM and DVD-ROM. It also happens to be able to play DVD-Video content inside an interactive environment, with none of the limitations that DVD-Video normally has. But if you're going to be that interactive you probably should use QuickTime video or Flash video inside the Director application, and not require the user to have DVD-Video play back abiliy at all.
If you made such a highly interactive disc you probably wouldn't be able to reproduce all the features in a DVD-Video only version.
If you're curious about Director, maybe you could sign up for this Adobe presentation that is happening next Wednesday:

What software is best to use to create an interactive CD?

Hi
I'm creating an interactive cd rom. I have made several interactive CDs already using a really basic bit of software called Autoplay Menu Builder (made by a company called Linasoft) but it has several limitations.
Basically it needs to be an easy to navigate menu with thumbnails of images that users can click on to open and print however many images they like (one at a time). The images will be pdfs as I will distribute a copy of Adobe Reader on the CD (yes I do have a license to do so!)
The main problem I am having with my current software is that each menu program I create can only handle opening 10 or so pdfs and so I need to have lots of menus linking to one another in order to be able to open all of the pdf files on the cd (usually several hundred files). Each menu program is an .exe file with autorun feature. Each .exe file is named 'autorun.exe' by default and I cant change the name without encountering problems. Therefore the CD ends up containing 100s of .exe files with exactly the same name and users are having problems with their virus checker software thinking that the CD contains a trojan virus.
So I need to come up with a new way of making these CDs.
Things I need my interactive CD project to do...
* Autorun from disc without prompt from the user
* Run from disc only - I don't want the user to have to install anything or need an Internet connection to use the CD
* Not to have issues with the most commonly used anti virus software (I know this might be an impossible task)
* Have a customisable interface and buttons etc.
* Enable the user to quickly and easily open and print 100s of pdfs one at a time
* It needs to work on older home computers - and if possible to work on both mac and pc platforms
I would rather not have it open in an Internet browser window - but would go for this option if I could remove/disable the navigation bar and give it some kind of skin (so that users don't think that they have to be online to use the CD - I know that sounds daft but it's quite important to the project I am trying to create).
After reading around the forums I think that Director seems the logical way to go but thought it was worth asking for any advice on the matter before diving in at the deep end - I'm not familiar with Director or Flash... but always willing to learn something new!
Any advice or comments very much appreciated!
Thanks, Emma.

Director will definitely do what you want, but, you will have to program the functions you need yourself. If you have programming experience from another programming language other than lingo (directors programming language) it's relatively easy to get the hang of lingo, most later director versions also supports java script. In addition you're going to need a few plugins (called xtras in director) to get all the functionality you need, specifically BuddyAPI to be able to load or open the pdf's and get a list of the files on the cd, and if you don't want to use the adobe reader you will need Impressario to view and print the pdfs.
Also, there are probably quite a few director users that have done something similar already so if you need help you can go to www.director-online.com or http://www.directorforum.com/ and search the forums (or ask for help).

Is there a way to create an interactive form without Acrobat

Bottom line, is there a way to create an interactive form that can either be filled out and saved, or "submitted" with a mailto: button without having to buy a copy of acrobat too.
I have found numerous tutorials and examples, but everytime I try I run into the "action is not supported" error from adobe reader. Ironically, I have not problems saving a filled out form with OSX preview, but that won't work for PC users.
It seems like Adobe missed a step or is just forcing users to buy a secondary product to "re-save" a file with a form.

It’s not a failing at all. It’s just the way it is.

I have created an interaction to show 7 groups and 7 clickable objects. Once all are click the Next Button is show. How can you make that work if you want to embeded the SWF just created but show a button in a master Captivate?

In flash you can have a shell that has the navigation and some button in the shell are not activated until all clickable objects are clicked. I am not a flash programmer but it was related to using the path of shell and the sub-project.
Can anybody help me on that.
I would like to create Captivate interaction that you can just embedded in a Shell captivate project.
Do I need to set variables at both levels (Global variable.

Hello Lieve, That is the screen shot of my custom interactivity, when all labels are clicked the Continue button will be shown because there is a conditional validating if all Labels have now a value of 1. What I am trying to achieve is to create an interaction where where the continue button (an the back button would reside in another Captivate project. This way there is no reprograming required or use of share-actions. Everytime we use a similar advanced action or a shared action we have to make sure the object name in the advanced actions or conditional actions are not the same. I trying to make it a bit dump proof for somebody that does not know any thing about advanced action and just reuse the label interaction in may projects. (The only thing they would change would be the image and the content of the label.
Do you thing I going in the right direction. (As I said before I have custom javacript in Captivate 5.5) to unlock un button that was part of the LCMS ForceTen). I belive the word .this was part of the object path in the JavaScript. Can we hide and show a Captivate button.
I have embedded other Captivate animation in a Master Captivate but the objets were not talking to each other. (You can see a sample http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Erm4_qdybiA&feature=youtube_gdata). In that sample the continue is always there and can be click anytime. The 3 steps animation has been done as another project and embedded in my main captivate. I would like to implement a solution where a my 7 labels have to be clicked in the subproject before showing and enabling the Continue button.
I hope my explanation is clear enough.
