Embedding SlideshowPro in a Flash Website

Hello everyone at the Flash forums!
I am currently trying to make a Flash website for my cousin's business, and his website should feature a portfolio gallery to display the work he has done (He is a contractor). I am trying to use the SlideshowPro plug-in which generates a very nice-looking Flash gallery that is about 50 times nicer than the one he is using on his website at the moment. One of the big things I like about SSP is that it offers a full-screen picture viewing mode, which would allow potential customers of his to see work he has done better than they are currently seeing.
However, whenever I publish the website to test it and make sure everything is working okay, I go to the Portfolio page and test SSP in full screen. Once I come back from full screen, the gallery remains on top of the screen on every other page of the website. The audio also does this (It can play audio in the background while looking through the galleries you set up). Since I am somewhat new to Flash, I am not sure why it is doing this. Perhaps someone else has encountered this and has a fix or workaround that I could use.
Thanks in advance, guys!
Note: I attached a picture of the problem I am encountering so you guys can see what it is doing.
Edit: I am not sure whether or not it is relevant, but I have the gallery set to appear in frame 117 and the Home button is set to go back to frame 115, before the gallery should even show up.
Edit 2: I finally figured out how to get the gallery to not appear on other pages (Yippee!). However, the audio is still continuing to play when I navigate away from the Portfolio page.

Alright, just figured I would update you guys. I redid the website so that it ran at a higher framerate and kept everything else the same as it was. As stated before, SSP is showing up right, but the audio still isn't working right. I've tried all of the AS codes I've been told to try and none of them have worked. It keeps telling me that every single code I've tried is not a function, so I don't know what I am doing wrong there.
Also, not really related to SSP: I did add a contact form to the website, and I am now having problems with that not wanting to submit the data to the mailer.php file to send the form information to the designated e-mail address (I keep getting, "Error #2044: Unhandled securityError:. text=Error #2048: Security sandbox violation: http://sagesportfolio.webs.com/website.swf cannot load data from http://www.sagesportfolio.webs.com/mailer.php. at website_fla::MainTimeline/frame544()", minus the quotes). If anyone might be able to help with that, too, I would highly appreciate it.

  • Embedded document viewer in Flash

    Hi,
    We are looking at provided an embedded document viewer within a website and also within a Flash based applicaiton.  The document viewer would need to display Office documents and PDF documents.  We think Adobe has Flash Paper which fulfills some of these needs but this is no longer supported after it has been acquired from MacroMedia.
    Could any one please provide inputs on any Flash based document viewers that can be embedded in a Flash application?
    Thanks.

    i dont think so that you have a component like that.. my be you can try to build a custom component for that.

  • Firefox 5 upgrade showing my Flash website with dotted grey lines around it-- how do I get rid of them?

    After upgrading to Firefox 5 on my 15" MacBook Pro, I'm seeing dotted grey lines on the border of my embedded SWF file of my website. After googling around, I see people were having this problem as far back as Firefox 3. I somehow was not. However, this is highly annoying and unprofessional!
    My site is based in (I know I know) AS1 embedded into a Dreamweaver HTML page. I need to know what code I can add to the page in order to make these stupid borders go away. I've tried various style tags for both the object and for the general style in the head tag. No luck. My site is http://www.andreabakacs.com/index-flash.html

    I've seen this issue mentioned as well and it only seems to happen on Mac.<br />
    I'm not seeing it on Linux.

  • NEWBIE - Best Practices for FLash Website Development

    I've decided to try and build my own flash website, so to help me learn the basics I downloaded the following sample Dynamic Flash Template: http://info.template-help.com/pre-sale_questions/about_web_design_templates/article25.html.
    I've been playing around with it a little bit, and feel like I definitely know a lot more than I did previously, but also feel like I may learning the most efficient and effective methods.
    Basically, my questions are what's the best software / methods to do the following, as it relates to the template described above.
    1) I want the site able to be viewed by people who have flash enabled and those who don't.  I'd like for the default website to be flash oriented, but of the browser doesn't support flash or if there are no flash plug-ins installed, I want the HTML version of the site to display.  What the best way to make this happen?
    2) If I use the dynamic text option for the flash site, all text is pulled from the tfile_main.html file.  Is this the best way to embed dynamic text into my flash file?  Is it the most efficient way or should the dynamic text be embedded from the HTML pages of the Non-Flash site?
    3) Is it possible to have the flash and non-flash versions overlay each other, where if flash is supported, the flash content is displayed, but if flash is not supported, only the non-flash versions are displayed?
    4) What the best way of optimizing a site of this nature for search engines?  If I were to upload only the flash version of the site, embedded in the index.html file, I think that the search engines would interpret my whole site as simply being one page, which I do not want.  I want them to recognize each distinct page.
    5) Should I use Static or Dynamic text?  Should I insert any outgoing links with the flash file itself, or within the html files?
    6) I've read alot about SWFObject2.x and it seems like it would help me do a lot of the things I'm wanting to do, but I have no idea how to use it.  I downloaded the .zip file, but have no clue what to do with it from there.
    7) I have Flash CS3, but also currently have a free trial of the Adobe Creative Suite Premium CS5, so I have FLash CS5, Dreamweaver CS5, etc.  Should I use Flash CS3 or CS5?
    8) How should I set-up my Publish Settings in FLash?
    Sorry for such a long message and requesting so much info.  If you can only help out or provide guidance on 1 of the above questions it would be very beneficial to me and greatly appreciated.
    Thanks in advance for everyone's help and let me know if you need additional information.

    No one is going to answer 8 questions, I certainly can't be bothered.
    Cut them down in to different threads, in the relavent Adobe forum
    But:
    Use CS5.
    You can use JS to determine if they have flash and show a style sheet/site accordingly, google it.
    You can optimise flash sites too

  • Can someone explain the structure behind this common practice in most flash websites?

    I'm kind of a newbie with flash. I havent used it in a long long time and when I was using it, I wasnt really fully understanding what I was doing at the time. Anyways, it's been like 10 years now and I have to use it to make a website, but I can't figure out how others are doing this specific thing. I understand the basic concept of how flash works with making a website, and I've even built a very basic website with audio/video and mouse interaction, but now I want to step it up. I've seen many flash websites before and some have a lot of things going on at once and I'm wondering how you implement that smoothly while still allowing mouse interaction and navigation. I know this sounds confusing but basically, what I mean is:
    let's say I have a website and on the website I have buttons that lead to different pages(frames) when clicked. On the main page I have something like a bird that flies from left to right. Let's say that the bird is in the middle of the screen and a user clicks a button. How do I make it so that the bird continues to fly off screen before switching pages? Obviously, I cant tell what the location of the bird will be when the button is clicked since it will vary from user to user so I am completely confused on how to structurally set this up. Would the bird be it's own swf embedded in the main swf? Or is this feature a massive keyframing project for every frame of animation that bird has?
    Also, how do have multiple animations that run on different clocks looping simultaneously? What I mean by this is, lets say the previously mentioned bird has a 25 frame animation loop and a second element, like a sunrise/sunset has a 30 frame animation loop... how do I loop both of them so that they loop seemlessly at the same time? Will I have to animate both of them in a loop until both reach a common frame (150 frames from 6x 25frame bird loops and 5x 30frame sunrise/sunset loops)?
    Thanks,
    MorisatoKei

    You will have to experiment to see what works well and what doesn't.   You can have things animating along a timeline in parallel, but you can also have them be their own movieclips and animated when commanded to play().
    In the case of your bird flying off before a button click is processed, you could manage that as follows.  Have the button set a variable that is defaulted at false to be true.  At the end of the bird's flight, you test that variable ( as in ... if(variable == true)...) to see if it is true, and if so, you process whatever command that button is intended for.  If you used a timeline animtion for the bird, then that test would occur at the last frame of the animation.  If you used a coded tween to move the bird across the scene, then you could use an event listener to detect the animation completed and do the test then.
    There are almost always a variety of choices for achieving the same design goal.  The key to determining a solution is knowing what tools you have to work with... and coming to know what those tools are and how to use them is where learning comes in.

  • Adding payPal shopping cart to a Flash website?

    Hi there,
    I'm a newbie, creating my first flash website and my first shopping cart, so  be easy on me.
    I've done  a lot of research, however was unable to find any tutorials on how to  set up a  Paypal shopping cart or any other secured shopping cart in a website  that was created in Flash professional CS5, actionscript 3.0. Paypal's  tutorial is  only for html (copy/paste the code in your html website and voila) but  how to integrate shopping cart in Flash website? Any help would be  appreciated.
    This is my first time setting up a cart on a website. I  have a "shop"  button on my site (see picture below) that I would like linked to an  external  page preferably with my items that I would like to sale. Not  sure if paypal's shopping cart can do what I want it to do. Once the  user clicks on the "Shop" button, I'd like for my customer to be able to  see a picture of the items I have for sale, price for each item, a box  where the buyer can write quantity of item desired, add to cart button  and then check out button. With paypal shopping  cart, can I add  pictures beside each item I am selling when entering the  price on  paypal's website or I have to add the pictures of the items I  am  selling directly in my shop section of my website and add a buy now   button for each individual item and then copy/paste the email link  provided by  Paypal to each of my buy now buttons and add that code to  my "Actions" layer within Flash? How would the script look like? And  what if later on I want to add additional info to an item, change price  or delete it completely...would I have to make the changes everytime  within paypal only or I'd have to make the changes on both paypal and my  flash file and upload new copy to server? I'd like for my cart to  integrate with my site (keep the same look and feel, same  layout/background color) preferably but what ever way is the easiest.  Thanks for your help.

    Any source that provides embed code to add to your webpage should work. So in other words if E-Junkie provides the HTML code that you simply embed in your own code it will work. If it requires a certain plugin be installed it may or may not.

    I have embedded 4 videos on my website. It is a single page, scrolling site. When I scroll down, the videos scroll in front of the top menu bar, instead of behind it. I have tried changing layers, etc., and nothing works. Please help.
    Thanks.

    Hi,
    Kindly create a new layer, via the Layers panel:
    Then, right click on the navigation bar, and choose Move to Layer > Layer 2
    Ensure that Layer 2 is on top of the other layers.
    Hope it helps,

  • How do I add an html link/banner to a page in my flash website?

    I purchased a flash website template and am in the process of editing my main.fla file.  In order to get listed on an advertising website with a higher rating, I have to place a reciprocal link to them on my site.  However, I cannot figure out how to place an html link/banner on my site for other businesses.  If I paste the html code in a text box, all that shows up is the html code rather than the image and link it is meant to generate.  Please help!

    Flash only supports a small amount of html in text areas.  If what you re trying to include is within what it supports, then you assign the text to the textfield using the htmlText property of the TextField...
    tfield.htmlText = "<a href="...">link</a>"; // will display "link" as a link

  • Firefox 3.6.8 still having problems loading heavy Flash websites

    Upgraded to latest 3.6.8 Firefox version and noting it is still having issues loading heavy flash websites. Takes 5 to 6 times longer to load a webpage if there is Flash on it. I do have the latest version of Flash installed according to Adobe's website so that's not the culprit. Will be uninstalling this latest version and rolling back to the copy of 3.6.3 version I kept which worked great with all flash websites. Waiting for the problem to get fixed before I update again...hoping they can fix this. I noticed this problem starting back with version 3.6.6 and still hasn't been fixed with 3.6.8...
    == URL of affected sites ==
    http://www.tsn.ca

    The problem affects this page: [ http://gronnbil.no/biler]
    The strange thing is that whenever I load the page with Firebug activated for this page, it renders the Flash instantly. But hardly ever (it does happen now and then, but mostly not) when I'm not using Firebug. I have tried disabling all plugins, running in Safe Mode, but it didn't help. I use Mac OS X 10.6.4 64-bit, FF 3.6.8. Ideas, anyone?

  • How do I create a hyperlink to a specific section of a flash website?

    Ok, I have no experience coding in flash, I just want to
    create links to specific parts of a flash website (website that
    were created by other people, not that I am building). In other
    words, I just want to create the hyperlink that will open a certain
    section of the website - I'm not developing the site and I don't
    want to create links inside the site. Is there any way to do this?
    For example:
    http://www.lucasarts.com/games/fracture/
    is the flash site I want to link to. Wherever I navigate in
    the site, the address never changes in my browser. But I know it is
    possible to get a URL to a specific flash page, because I have seen
    some of the web admins post them.
    For example:
    http://www.lucasarts.com/games/fracture/?section=2&sub=5
    which opens a very specific section of the site. So is there
    anyway for me, an average computer user with no experience in flash
    coding, to get a hyperlink to open a certain section of a flash
    site, or at the least get my browser to display the specific URL
    (that is, the "?section=2&sub=5" part of the address). I use
    firefox, but am willing to try anything or any browser at this
    point.
    Thanks!

    My Flash sites use a section and subSection structure, and
    within the site I use the numbers to display specific areas. But
    it's done internally. I have no code that looks at a query string
    attached to the URL so supplying the numbers to my sites will have
    no effect. The example you give clearly does read parameters passed
    in a query string so if you know the correct numbers (and the param
    names eg 'section') then you can do it.

  • Advice needed for beginner to Flash website building

    Help!
    I have zero knowledge about using Flash.  I am being asked by my boss to build a flash web site for our music and video game stores.  I built our old site in Dreamweaver.
    Does anyone have advice on where i should start?  A suggested book that will walk me through beginning to end.  I've worked through a few tutiorials but I feel lost as far at the time line and actions.
    Any expert advice is appreciated.  I need to get started in the next month.  I'd like to build it myself instead of outsourcing to someone else.
    Know where I should start?

    Lindsay,
    Last month I built my first Flash website after following this tutorial on Lynda.com:
    http://www.lynda.com/home/DisplayCourseN.aspx?lpk2=735
    Needless to say the concept behind the tutorial was mind-opening, at least for me: I have a HTML/CSS background and I always used Flash almost only for banners, headers and simple animations.
    Hope this helps...
