First Mobile Flash Website?

I haven't ever seen any mobile websites that were completely
made from flash, so i decided to make one. Uses Php to retrieve
news dynamically. The rest of the mobile website is done completely
using Flash Lite 1.1 . Mail form, Flash Map, scrollbar, etc are
some of the features that I have never seen before on a mobile
website.

I hope you like it!

Dude, your work is SICK. I can't believe the stuff you put up on your site.
As a fellow expat (Bostonite in Osaka) just getting started in the Japanese mobile interactive market I have to ask if you are open to some kind of tie-up. My company is moving me very quickly into mobile development, and I don't have many references to draw on as I go. At the moment, I'm struggling with Softbank's broken tab order, which is what brought me to this forum in the first place. Are you open to consulting/Skype/beers at Roppongi TGIFridays?

Start to build my first flash website

I've learned actionscript form resources like video and
books. i read some serious tutorials and did many practices and
small projects. I'm trying to build my first flash website. do i
need to learn Flex? or anything else? do i need to study some other
courses? My problem is where to start. what's a structure of a
professional and serious full flash website? links? components (if
any)? and ... yes i've worked on small swf files. creating
actionscript effects, building some easy components before but i'm
sure they are not enough. and one more thing! is there any good
practical (and specially free!) tutorials based on this concept?
(i've already reviewed actionscript.org and kirupa.com, thx!)

Your first question: subjective to your skillset. http://Zen-Cart.com has their own tutorials/FAQ/Forum that has plenty of information on the subject. Make your determination from the information they provide. It's free... download it and try it yourself to find out, perhaps?
Second question: you would not build additional product pages. There's only one product page that is populated with data from, wait for it... you guessed it, a database. If you're unfamiliar with working with database data then familiarize yourself with it if you wish to work on dynamic shopping carts.
I recommend http://Cartweaver.com if you want to work in Dreamweaver on the design and coding of the cart. It is very easy to implement your design into a cartweaver shopping cart.

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.

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...

How do I add tracking code to a Flash website?

Tracking software requires that you insert their code into the page you want to track (I'm using StatCounter). I installed a Flash website template and it just has one .html file where I can insert the code. That tracks visits to the first page with no problem but if a visitor clicks on different pages of the site, it doesn't get tracked. Does anyone know how and where to add code so that each page of the Flash site can be tracked?
Note, in my template a part of each page is found in different symbols. For example, the first column of every page is located in a symbol called PAGES1 and the second column of every page is located in a symbol called PAGES2, and the third column located in PAGES3. Different layers within each symbol correspond to the different pages. So I'm at a loss of how I could get this tracking code to be able to track each page visit, since each page shares a symbol with another page. Anyone know?

Advice on how to keep Flash website small & fast

Hi, I'm developing my first Flash website (I know, I know, there are plenty of reasons to use other development products, but for now it will be Flash), and I envision a site with several pages and needing to load some large graphics. I'm doing the main design work in Illustrator and importing it into Flash. I'm not too concerned with animation except perhaps moving some buttons around. My plan so far is to use a lot of UI loaders to keep the main .swf small and to really try to keep the coding pretty simple as I'm a newbie anyway. I'm looking for general advice on how to prevent the main site from loading quickly - for example, I don't have a good sense of the best format to use for graphics, or which makes the site slower: using several UI loaders or just keeping the content in the main site? Is a lot of code or large graphics more draining on the load time? Any thoughts on what you think I can do or not do to keep it lean would be super appreciated, or any other resources you might be able to point me to.
Thanks in advance!

Nah... really really stupid questions only get asked in non-Flash forums. The size of the swf is not tied tot the size of the fla. The fla has alot more baggage that inflates its size greatly compared to the swf it creates. The swf will end up bearing the weight of whatever content you put in it.
If you want to see what's adding weight to your swf, go into your Flash Publish Settings and select the option to Generate Size Report. When you publish the file it will display a detailed report of each element and the weight it contributes to the swf.
As far as dynamically loading swf's, it is often a necessity, unless the swf is strictly an animation. If you import an swf into an fla file, all of the actionscript that might have been in it is stripped out.
Code will have negligible weight in a file. Images (large/heavy ones) can put lead shoes on a file, along with video and sound files.

Flash websites?

I have found that my iPhone G3 will not display the video contained in sites that require a flash plugin. Is this supposed to happen. I assumed that since the iPhone can display video that there would be no problem with flash or shockwave sites. I assumed that the plugins would be built into Safari on the iPhone.

Mobile Flash is nowhere near the same thing and does not provide the same access to web content as regular flash. It is up to adobe to provide a version of flash - it is their proprietary format. Last i heard, they haven't been doing so well in their progress.
Maybe you have not been listening to anything since October 2007, when Flash Lite 3 was released. It has support for FLV, which basically means video content, such as Youtube-like websites is supported. This will please so many many iPhone users, including myself.
And as of mobile version being behind, it is based on Flash 8 (i.e. one version behind mainstream Flash), which means the gap is basically closed.
Flash and Java are both ready to be ported to iPhone, only if Apple eased the licensing to allow competing frameworks.

Who makes the nicest, easiest to use Flash website design software?

Please forgive the beginner's question. I would like to build
a flash site like
http://www.hockaday.org from an
easy to use Flash template. You get what you pay for so my first
choice isn't something for free but a 30-day free trial version
would be nice.
What I like best about
http://www.hockaday.org is the
great menus and that pictures continually reload in interesting
ways.
Maybe a template is too restrictive. Who makes the nicest,
easiest to use Flash website design software that allows fast
creation of those fancy menus and with other fast features to do
nice things with pictures and motion?
I need to create a site like
http://www.hockaday.org
immediately so I don't have the time to learn Flash first. What's
my best bet?

you are in a catch 22 - you don't have time to learn flash -
yet you need to build an entire site
immediately - you can't - sure you can download a template
that is similar but if this forum is any
proof, you almost need more flash knowledge trying to
decipher most templates in order to edit them
- search this forum, there are several posts per week from
non-flash users who purchased templates
and have no clue how to edit them. Often times it is hard for
an educated flash user to
reverse-engineer a FLA made by somebody else - Flash
documents are blank canvases that can be setup
a myriad ways by different users making the same thing - some
developers are more organized than
others - most templates are not organized but rather thrown
together for a quick profit.
You will simply need to learn enough flash to understand how
it works or hire somebody to edit the
template for you.
hope this helps.

. Mobile Flash Map

After almost 3 years of development, a new way of viewing
maps on mobile devices. Currently uses Flash Lite 1.1.
flashmap retrieves dynamic data from xml, parses it using php
then displays it on Flash Lite 1.1 enabled mobile phones. Use the
keypad to navigate and zoom in and out, #5 shows the menu, up and
down keys select the stores. Once pressed, you will be directed to
the store you selected.
Please note: you may not see the stores actual page when you
press "enter" as it goes to a mobile website in Japan. Everything
else is ok.
We are providing this service for free for users. Please
visit our pc site to gain access to the mobile flash map sample and
view the flash video on the pc site to see the flash map from my
desk!

Hello there,
I think the problem is in how you're capturing the variables
in your PHP script. I created an example using your Actionscript
code and it works fine. Instead of hard coding the values for the
variables in the script, I created a registration form and got the
values from input textfields. Once you hit the SUBMIT button a
window opens in the browser and a PHP file catches all the
submitted data and outputs the results.
Below is the code I used in both Flash and PHP files. You can
view the example
here and
download the files
here.
Hope that helps!

Firefox hanging when trying to load any flash website on Win2008R2

After updating to Firefox 14 and to the 11.3 flash Firefox will hang on every flash website I try to view on a Win2008R2 server.
I can reproduce this on several machines after installing the latest Flash update and it does not repro if I disable the flash plug in.
I have already tried completely uninstalling everything from scratch on this server with no results, including deleting all files related to flash and FF.

Try re-enabling Flash and then disable hardware acceleration in Adobe Flash Player's Display settings, which you can access by right-clicking any Flash object or by right-clicking the Flash logo on this page and selecting "Settings" (you may need to switch to the Display tab, by clicking the first icon on the bottom of the Adobe Flash Player Settings window),:

Creating a flash website to work with php & MYSQL for MMORPG

Hi i have a website which is a gangster MMORPG, it using PHP,
CSS, HTML and some javascript but however with the amount of game
similar to mine i want to make it unique so i bought "building
flash websites for dummies" i have read must of it and understand
most of it. but however don't really have a clue i it could

you started...

Creating a flash website

I am new with creating flash websites. I have the basis of it done but I am unsure how make it do what I want it to do.
First off, I want the background to keeping looping. I want that to stay the same but I have some animation, so I want it to keep moving.
Secondly, I want to have buttons that you click, and when you click them information comes up. But again, I want the background to be the same and to keep moving while the information stays put. Then I want this information to stay until I click on another button to take me to different information.
At the moment I have 2 scenes going on. Scene 1 is my homepage with the moving background. Scene 2 has the first button information (ie contact us page) alongside the moving background. I have it so that on Scene 1, when you click on the button it will take you to Scene 2. The problem is, if you just let Scene 1 play it automatically goes into Scene 2 without clicking on the button. I am unsure how to just get it to play Scene 1, and only when you click on the button it will go to Scene 2. Then in my Scene 2 (with the information) I do not know how to keep the information there with the background still moving. I am not even sure if I am on the right track to doing the right thing.
Any suggestions or help you have would be greatly appreciated. Thank you in advance.

Add a layer to your timeline. At the very last frame make a keyframe. Click in that single keyframe and go in the Window->Actions panel.
If you want whatever happened on the timeline to happen again, use this script:
gotoAndPlay(1);
If you want it to stop at the end, just use this:
stop();
Do this to each scene you want to stop or loop at the end of.

Flash website- problems with sizing on different computers- code to resize based on browser/screen resolution

Ok Guys-
So I have put up a trial of my flash website-
www.nicksdesign.com/flash
I'm new at flash- as this is the first project I've done in
flash, and the problem is...
I put the file in a simple HTML file in dreamweaver, and i
published the files, tested them on my computer, and it's great-
the size fits enough so that no scrolling is needed.
However-
I asked a friend to test it- and on his computer you are
required to scroll both vertically and horizontally in order to see
all the content on the 100% flash website.
My question-
Are there any codes that can resize the swf file or the HTML,
based on screen resolution/browser [however- we tested in the same
browser]
Any help would be SUPER appreciated
Best Regards,
Nick Smith

I took a look at your html source code, I notice that your
size of width sets at 1270 while height sets at 537. The width is
way too wide.
Secondly, flash-based website aren't that cool.
Finally, you probably get a better help from Flash forum
participants. This forum is all about Dreamweaver-related topics,
and is not about how to create or design Flash for the first time.
Hope that helps and good luck with your project.
Cheers, Brian

Can anyone contribute some inputs for creating flash website?

Basically Iam new to flash actionscript3.0, I am plannning to create Flash website. I need some help from anyone like creating button events, getting url, loading dynamic text etc. If you can pls share useful source file which is helpful for me.
Thanks,
Habib

As a relative newbie to Flash myself I'd simply recommend getting stuck in and messing about, find out how to do each individual thing as you come up against it. Don't be scared off by the new environment, if you just dive in you'll be up and running in no time Oh and don't expect the first thing you make to be of any real use - create something just to mess about in then start over once you know what you're doing a bit more.
I found this collection of videos very helpful in getting up and running:
