Embedding a flash intro

Hi,
I download and edited a flash intro template for my css dreamweaver page. I was wondering how I embed this into my index so that it plays then fades into my index page? I know it must be different then inserting a flash movie, has anyone ever done this and if so can you help me?

Hi Dylan,
can you please elaborate on the workflow you are looking at specially with regards to your following phrase:
>>so that it plays then fades into my index page
So do you want that Flash file plays and then disappears. If yes when it disappears does some underlying text/design of your index page becomes visible?
Give us more insights!
Regards,
Vinay

Uploading Flash Intro to play before home page in Dreamweaver

I'm new to Flash CS3. I'm trying to figure out how to make my
flash intro to my website play before it takes me to my home page
in Dreamweaver. In other words, the flash intro plays and then
automatically goes to my designated home page.The intro is the
first thing you see. Do I set that up in Flash or Dreamweaver?
Detailed instructions needed.
thanks

Hi!
Basically, you have to do that in Flash. A possible way to go
is this: you´ve got two pages, say "index.html" and
"pageB.html". "index.html" of course is the first page any browser
would read. Here you´ve embedded your Flash-Intro. Now, after
your intro´s been played, you want the browser to switch
automatically to "pageB.html", which is your actual home page, the
actual first one, as if it were. No problem! Go to the last frame
in your Flash animation (authoring environment), press the F9-key
(in order to open action script), switch to expert modus and type
this:
getURL("pageB.html","_self");
Now, "pageB.html" should be replaced by the correct name of
the page, and you might have to type a complete path so the proper
page can be found (something like "myPage/homePage.html" or
whatever, depending on how it is structured). You could experience
some trouble here, but keep on it!
The instruction "_self" lets the browser open the new page
(your home page) in the same window, which is hopefully what you
want. If you want a new window, type "_blank" instead.
Hope I could help you!

How can I import my html flash intro into Muse?

I created a flash intro using Tumult Hype.
I just designed a website in Adobe Muse and I'd like to insert my flash intro to be the first screen on my website. I'd also like to link it so that when i click "enter" it takes me to the home page of my site.
How can i do this? I've read numerous articles and forums on this problem and no one seems to have the solution.
Someone PLEASE HELP!

Use the code below... Upload your tumult file to your server as i don't think this will work locally. Insert an HTML object on your first page in Muse ( Home/Index.html ) and paste the code below in the object, change the URL in the code to point to your Tumult document. You may have to use an absolute path to other pages when you click the enter button for example http://www.yoursite.com/otherpage.html which will then take you to other pages in your muse document. Let me know if you run into issues...
Adding iframes to your site to display other site pages with embedded HTML
In addition to using embedded HTML to insert code you've pasted from a third-party website, you can also embed an entire web page within an iframe using the same method. For example, you can type a code snippet like this:
<iframe title="A Title for this Content" src="http://yoururlhere.com" width="900" height="500" style="border: 0;"></iframe>
In the code above, replace the text in the title="" and url="" with the desired external web page's title and URL. You can also customize the width and height of the iframe window to the desired values to fit your site's design.
Optionally, you can also add an attribute that ensures the iframe will not display a scrollbar by adding this to the opening iframe tag:
scrolling="no"
By choosing Object > Insert HTML, you can open a new HTML Code window and embed an iframe anywhere on your site and then set any URL (site address, such as www.google.com) to display a site that is live on the Internet inside it.
You can also use an iframe to embed animation, such as the HTML5 animations created in Adobe Edge. Find the name of the HTML file created by Adobe Edge and use that file name in your iframe's URL attribute:
<iframe src="Project-Header-r1v1.html" width="100%" height="100%" scrolling="no">
</iframe>

Flash intro upload

ok i am new to this so any help or direction would be great! I uploaded a flash intro page from t-monster and made the changes I need to make to the files and created a new .swf file. This is for a flash intro page so my newbie question is how do I deploy this? Do I need to create and HTML page in Dreamweaver than upload it as what page. And how would I set up the page for this is a flash intro page? Thanks for the help and patience as I am a newbie just starting out

when you publish your swf, you published an html file (unless you changed the default settings). that html file embeds (displays) your swf.

How to add flash intro into website

I have a custom flash intro and I do not know how to add it to my website and then make it redirect to my site. I have asked numerous people but none seem to explain the steps. Im fairly new at this so guidance would be great. Thanks in advance!

hmm...
Ok here's what I would do.
Ito make a simple "button" on the current flash project, create a new layer or select a symol in a layer to use as the anchor. Hit window -> actions and it should bring up an actions frame. In that frame put this.....
on(release){
getURL("INSERT YOUR FULL URL HERE");
and that "should" do it for a button. I've gotta do some digging for you on an auto-loader though. Someone else might be able to help out there.
In Adobe Flash - go to file -> publish -> settings and make sure you are publsihgin the movie itself, but also publish an html file. This will create a file with the movie embedded into it.It'll probably put it in a new folder inside the folder that you are saving the current file to.
now, on your server - move the .html file AND the .swf into the root of your directory. Rename the .html file to something simple like test.html or whatever, and point your FF browser to that file and see if it works correctly.
If it is all working correctly, rename your old index.html to something like index_2.html (or whatever the inserted URL from above is) and rename the file that flash published as index.html. Now target your domain name and it should work!
if you want to post a link to your swf file I can see if it works here.

Putting Flash Intros on my site?

I have Dreamweaver CS4 and I want to put a Flash intro on my
site that plays before getting to the home page, but I can't seem
to find any tutorials on it. Can somebody point me in the right
direction? I know how to embed a Flash video onto my pages, but I
don't know how to get one to be a separate piece. Thanks all!

>>The splash screen becomes the index
Yup!
And just for the record, when a prospective client demands a
splash page or
autoplay music I refuse to build the site. Not saying you or
anyone else
should do that.
There's an old joke about a man asking a woman if she would
sleep with him
for $1M. She says, "Absolutely; Yes!" He then asks, "Will you
sleep with me
for $10?". She replies vehemently, "Hell No! What do you
think I am?" To
which he replies, "We have already established that. Now we
are merely
negotiating the price."
To me, if I tell a client or prospect that auto play music or
a splash page
will be significantly counterproductive and they should not
even consider
either and then I go ahead and add either to the site, I'm
nothing more than
what that woman was.
You see I don't think my primary goal is to please my client;
that's my
secondary goal. My primary goal is to please my client's
prospective
clients/customers. Not surprisingly, when I am unencumbered
in pursuing my
primary goal I routinely accomplish that secondary goal.
That's just me. Not saying you should take that rigid
position, but you
might want to at least think about it. ;-)

Flash Intros on an iWeb site

I purchased a flash intro template off of templatemonster.com. I edited the flash intro in a trial version of Adobe Flash CS3. After I edited the template so that it had the wording I wanted I then did not know what to do to actually make it my flash intro. After I had edited it, it gave me .html, .swf and .fla files for the intro. The .html file and the .swf file actually play the intro, the .fla file does not.
After playing around for some time, I realized that the flash intro would not play because my index.html file directs the front page to be the "Welcome" page. After playing around for a bit, I changed the name of my flash intro .html file to "Welcome_.html"...the same file name as the front page. I uploaded the flash "Welcome_.html" file to the the server and BOOOOM! My flash intro plays however it is in the wrong position and does not link to the site. I believe the correct file is supposed to be the .swf version because it is centered correctly and includes buttons like "sound" and replay.
Anyways, I know I am far off with my jerry-rigging of the .html files, but does anybody out there know how to put a flash intro onto an iWeb site or how that would look on the server?

Drag the SWF file onto your welcome page in iWeb. If you don't want the control bar, uncheck it in the QuickTime inspector. Check autoplay and loop if your flash file is not set to autoplay and loop.
When you upload to the server the SWF file is in the Media folder.

Help with embedding XML / Flash Banner Rotator?!?

Hey guys, please help me; I'm having some trouble embedding this flash/xml banner rotator into this page, I can see that the file has been uploaded, however when I try to place it into the page, it just doesn't work. I even get error reports from IE, the code was all place by dreamweaver.
The first set of code below is the entire page, the second set is the part that isn't working for me (the part I'm too dumb to fix).
The code that is highlighted in red is the code with the <embed> tag.

problem here :
Really, all of you thank you so much for your help, it is appreciated more than you know! Thank you!

Hi
All I am seeing is your actual page layout, no code.
But as you say it is an xml file (swf), it is more than likely that you have placed the swf and xml files in incompatible places. So without seeing your code, all I can suggest is to check the file placement of all items.
PZ
Can see the code now, for some reason it was rendering the code, not displaying it until I refreshed the page.

Please help (flash intro cs4)!!!

sorry if I posted in the wrong section but I need help.
I have a flash intro and when ever I preview it,the intro background turns to black instead of staying the way it should be.Can somebody please help me out here,I need this flash intro for a website.Please explain this to me in simple terms because im pretty NEW to adobe.
Thanks
Kevin
Note I've tried everything to make the flash background stay the way it was but nothing I do works.

the color is black
watch this intro

i have this intro. I open it in flash and play it. As soon as the Offbeat idea text goes away the background fades to black instead of staying consistent.

Video to Flash Intro

I made a 10 second video that I would like to put on my webpage as a flash intro but I don't know anything about flash. Is there an alternative or an easy way to do this?

Has anybody ever used one or recommend one. Preferably free. < </div>
You're on your own there. But if you find one you lie, please come back and let us know which one you used.
The buzz around Flash is still bigger than the reality as witnessed by your misunderstanding. it is NOT a univresal solution to anything and it comes with a heavy learning curve.
Flash is a super efficient visual technology that uses, when it can, the host computer to build images. This keeps the files really small. However, this trick only works with vector images. Video must be rasterized so the Flash version of any QT file is going to be about the same size. Flash has the advantage of offering universally available free players. QT and WMV are proprietary and the two owners have conflicting agendas about global domination. Adobe wants to rule the world, too, but Flash is free and will run on anything anywhere anytime.
Drop by adobe.com and spend a few days trying to figure it out.

Need Help Adding Flash Intro To Existing Site

OK I'm helping a buddy of mine out and he's already got his sie built for him by someone else, the index file is .php. Now I've got this little Flash animation that we want to run first, then when it's done go to his website. When I try to add it to the top of the index page all that happens is the site loads like in normally did but with the Flash movie at the top instead of being another page. What do we need to do to have it load on it's own first?

yes. the index.html should embed your flash intro swf and at the end to your swf (and in a skip intro button code) you should open the current main page (using getURL or navigateToURL).

Flash intros in iweb??

Sort of flash intro but not!

Hey everyone!
I am new(ish) to Flash and I have MX 2004
I would really like help when it comes to making a flash
intro. It is sort of like a flash intro but not.
I want the elements of the website to start moving in then
when they have all stopped moving, the site to be TML/PHP again.
This would only happen for the index page, and only the first time
they came to the site, so it only happened once.
You can see an example of the sort of thing at
this website but the whole
thing is made in Flash.
Is this possible, if it is can someone help me?
The site need help with is
HERE
If anyone could email me of reply here I would be really
grateful.
Thanks!

Sarsie -
Yes, it is possible to do this (i.e.Run Once when they come
to the page). I expect that if you use a cookie, you could even
tell it to only run the first time they come to the page. Most
definitely you can have it on only one page. See my web site for an
example of the latter.

HELP!!!! FLASH INTRO!!!!!

hello all,
i created a flash intro for my site (only 162k). when i
launch my site (jimfioredesign.com) on various browers, on
different machines, with different connectivity (t1, cable, etc),
there is a 3-5 second delay before it plays. does flash have a
built-in progress bar or something to let the user know something
is going to play soon? or, is there a more efficient way of saving
it (i currently saved it with 80 quality which maintains the
sharpness).
btw, i'm a print designer trying to learn flash/web design.
thanks in advance!

you need to research how to make flash "preloaders" . Its not
built in.
tutorials for that are probably all over web and can vary in
complexity depending on what you want to show during your 3-5 sec
delay.

Putting a Flash Intro on iweb

I brought a flash intro in .fla format and I was using FTP for mac to upload the flash intro to my iweb. What is the FTP server for site of iweb.

Where are you hosting the site? If you have a MobileMe account and are using iWeb you don't need an ftp application (MobileMe doesn't support ftp, only WebDAV). Just use the File->Publish to MobileMe menu option.
