Flash 10 Media Rich Flip Book Advice

I would like to create a flip book which deploys flv video similar to the example below.
http://mag.talksport.net/1V4b03db94b67ca012.cde
I have purchased the HTML version of Flippingbook from the site below but have encountered various problems, in that it only supports Flash 9 +actionscript 2.0. Also the facility is problematic with zooming swf files. Great for flat brochures but not able to deploy flv video within swf files which is a shame.

If anyone can point me in the right direction I would be very gratefull. I am not sure if it is software or a flash plug in that is required. I have been banging my head against the wall with this one.

Happy New Year to you!

Problems Flash Media Development Server 4.5

I have just downloaded Flash Media Development Server 4.5 on Windows. This was not an upgrade from 3.5 or 4.0 for example. My problem is when i go to start>Programs>Flash Media 4.5>Start Flash Media Server for some reason i am unable to login but when i go in my web browser i type in localhost URL i can login. Why is this? I think I installed the Flash Media Server correctly any advice would be appreciated.
Thank You in Advance

Hi,
Couple of things :
1. When you say you go to start>Programs>Flash Media 4.5>Start Flash Media Server you're unable to login, where exactly do you expect to login? This only starts your FMS server
2. When you type your localhost in the browser, then the FMS start page is loaded.
3. If you have installed in the default path then your FMS files will be installed in C:\Program Files\Adobe\Flash Media Server 4.5. Let me know if you can find them there. If you haven't done a default installation, then check under the path you've provided during installation.
Hope this helps.
Thanks,

Url link in flash page flip book

I am very inexperienced at what I am trying to accomplish.
I have created a flip book in flash. On a page in the book I made a button that is a link to an external url. When I place the the swift file of that page on my webstie, the link works. I have made a link from my homepage to the flipbook. But when I open the flip book the url link does not work.
Does anyone out there know what's wrong?
thanks

If the flip page the swf is in has interactive code asigned to it, such as whatever you use to flip the page, it could be blocking access to any clickable objects in the swf file.

Looking for a simple flip book template for Flash CS5

Hi, I'm looking for a simple flip book template for Flash CS5 for a 20 page brochure/ booklet. Or a tutorial. Does anyone know of one?
Thanks!

Hi Mark,
No need to restrict your choice to the preset Pages Templates. Do a web search and choose a Word template. Pages will open Word documents and templates. Or design your own:
This is a Table I inserted into a blank Pages Word Processing document. Format the date column in Inspector > Table > Format > Cell Format. Select the first Date cell,then drag the fill handle down to increment the dates.

How do I create a flipping book in Adobe Flash?

Hello new friends,
I am a graphic designer with many years of experience in Creative Suite Design Standard software. However I'm just beginning to get into Flash and have a project where I need to create a simple page-flipping brochure. My client has a 3-fold borchure in both SWF and JPEG formats which she wants to turn into a Flash flipping book to post on her website. I have the CS3 Web Premium package but I want to know if I need a third-party page flip plug-in or does my version of Flash (9.0) include the page flip engine? Also where can I find a tutorial to build a flipping book in Flash as this would be very helpful in building one for the first time.
Many thanks in advance for any help you guy and gals can give me!
Best,
.stephen

Thanks for all the help and suggestions!
If anyone's interested I did find a site that looks like it has some good information regarding creating flip books (step by step) and they also sell page flip software that seems to work really well (as seen in the demos). Here's the site: http://www.pageflip.hu/ (PageFlip 3.5) In the third paragraph of the home page there is a greyed out link "online documentation." Select that link and it will take you to their documentation on how to build a flip file using their software. Fairly simple approach. I will probably purchase this software.
System requirements for PageFlip 3.5 — Any browser with Adobe Flash player 8 installed; Adobe Flash 8 to edit source files.

Simple Flip Book in Flash Builder

I built this simple Flip Book in Flash Builder starting with Flash Catalyst...I guess the big issue is that when I make these components...they work well at z=0, but when I change z things don't work...why? Definitely needs a fix...everything is below (source, demo, book blog, video):
Source: http://lv3d.googlecode.com/files/FlipBook.zip
Demo: http://www.professionalpapervision.com/demos/flipbook/
Book Blog
Video

Hi,
After thinking about your solution and doing some testing I have two comments...
(1) I'm concerned that your change may not be congruent with Flash Catalyst and its logical flow, and
(2) The solution did not solve the problem. I fear I have not explained myself well. So here is a video on the problem...
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=wg-pUX6lpuM
And if anyone wants to know how to install a new SDK in Flash Builder. Here is a video on that too

Thanks so much I really appreciate the comment...I'm digesting and testing it!!!
From a PV3D and Away3D perspective...one of the difficulties I've run into is that in Flash Builder there are three ways to do 3D...MXML (from Flash Catalyst), Matrix Manipulation using update display, and dot syntax methods (hey which one do I use?). It's really difficult to get the same visual effects in Flash Builder that you get in PV3D and Away3D, but in doing so you don't have to run your processor so hard and can do more. And you can't beat how easy it is to work with Flash Catalyst...you can develop 3D 10 times faster...
That means I'm taking my lumps while things are being repaired and developed. But that's the business...thanks again for your comments.
Just one more comment...I've built the data-driven case of the book for 3 pages using FB data wizard:
Part 1: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=WzKba9qyrp0
Part 2: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=xz9htZXYZyU
Part 3: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=_Nyeg4_zuXo
Part 4: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=uG_uUIHSyqU
...in the multi-page case I will actually turn the pages into a particle system and treat the 3D a little differently...I'll take a real good look at your suggestions below then.
Best Regards,
Mike

Subject: Simple Flip Book in Flash Builder
Mike,
Steven Shongrunden played around with your original FlipBook example and noticed that it doesn't work the same in the current builds as it did in Beta2. The problem is that we changed the behavior of the 3D effects recently, to fix this bug:
http://bugs.adobe.com/jira/browse/sdk-24993
Basically, 3D effects used to side-effect the 3D properties of objects and persist their changes on the objects after transitions were over. This is different from the way that the rest of the effects work, where we install the proper end-state values in the objects when transitions end.
This means that if you do a Rotate3D with angleYTo="180", that we'll do that rotation during the effect ... and then wipe out that change when the transition ends.
There are two workarounds for this situation. The first, which is the way to go in general and definitely for Catalyst users, is to have 2-sided objects. So instead of simply seeing the back of the front cover, the user would see the front of a completely different object (the inside cover page, if you like). Then the transition should rotate both objects (the cover to 180 and the inside object to 0), then make the old object disappear and the new object appear at the right times (like at 90 degrees). So when the values are restored to the front cover upon transition end they will not be visible because the object is not visible.
The workaround for coders is to actually tell the states the values that the object should have. So if you actually want to rotate the object around y, then set that information in the states so that we won't blow it away when the transition ends. In fact, you could even set it in the states and not in the effect and we'll run the transition automatically. This is really the best approach for state transitions in general: tell the states what values the objects should have, and tell the transitions what effects to run, then the effects will automatically figure out the values to animate from/to.
The trick with this workaround is that the 3D effects affect the post-layout properties by default, and setting those values is not as obvious as setting pre-layout properties on the object.
Here's an example of how to do this for the cover component:
     <components:frontCoverCustomComponent x="0" y="0" id="frontcovercustomcomponent1"   click="frontCoverCustomComponent_clickHandler()">
        <components:postLayoutTransformOffsets.State2>
            <s:TransformOffsets rotationY="180"/>
        </components:postLayoutTransformOffsets.State2>
    </components:frontCoverCustomComponent>
I added this code to your custom component (and left the transition code as-is) and it now works as expect. It's still a bit weird to see the back of a two-dimensional object, so using two objects for anything that you'll see flipped is still a good thing to do in any case (as someone else suggested on this thread).

Flash Media Server Books

Can anyone please suggest a few good books on using the Flash
Media Server?

Programming Flash Communication Server (O'Reilly)
It was written for FCS 1.5 (as the title suggests), but all
of the information in there is applicable to FMS. Obviously, the
new features that were added in FMS are not in the book, but
everything you need to gain a firm understanding of how the sever
works is in there.

Which product to use to build a "flip book" type of effect?

I have 67 digital photos of the same view with slight differences between them. I wish to build one file that I can export to create what looks like one of those old-fashioned "flip books" or old moving picture (jittery motion).
I used to be able to do this in Adobe ImageReady by importing the photos as frames and tweening them.
I'm new to CS5 and have been looking all over the place for the right application to use with no luck.
Which one do I use???
Please be specific as I've looked into Fireworks and Flash but neither or those seems to allow me to import a folder of files and put them on layers.
Thanks in advance for any help offered.

I think what you want is an animated.gif. And you can do that in Photoshop.

Is there a way to create a flipping book with the flipping 5k adobe software?

Am I the only one pissed with the f adobe products?
Is there a way to create a flipping book with the flipping 5k adobe software? Is it Flash, etc?
Thanks

Maybe a forum search on "Windows registry" would turn up some useful things. You're not the first to ask this. You might save yourself and everyone else some time if you'd simply do that.

"Flip-book" like image effect in Captivate 5

Hello all ! New to the forum and pretty new to captivate over here ! I just wondered if you could help me with something ! How to make a flip-book like image effect ? There is an example on slide 3 of this Captivate example : http://www.adobe.com/products/captivate/educators/include/softskills_training/modal.html?w idth=752&height=440 Any help would be great ! And.. why is it everytime I press Enter it it drops the whole paragraph instead of making a new line ? Thanks !
I noticed the link doesn't seem to work,http://www.adobe.com/uk/products/captivate/
The presentation I mean is called "soft skills training"
Any help would be great !

Hi Scott.
As far as I know, that is not a function built into Cp5. It looks like some kind of flash animation/widget built otuside Captivate and then imported.
If someone else knows otherwise, please chime in. Or if that widget can be downloaded somewhere, I'd love to take a look at it.

WAMP and Flash Media Server

I currently have WAMP(Windows, Apache,MySQL,PHP) installed as
my primary server; I do not want to change this. What I would like
to do is use Flash Media Server as my primary streaming server and
be able to host media files on it. I have been informed that if I
broadcast from the Media Server on Port 80 I will run into trouble
when I start the WAMP server (because it works on Port 80). The
resolution that I've been told is to put the Media Server on Port
:8080. What I am trying to find out is if any one here is running
the Flash Media Server as a second server using Port 8080 or is it
smarter to just assign Flash Media Server it's own port. By the
way, I am trying to set up a test environment that will replicate
what the real server and application will have to do. Any advice is
greatly appreciated. Thank You

what version of windows are you running?.......try shutting down fms service before making changes.......I know in windows 7 you have to right click choose properties of the folder fms.ini resides in and adjust the security settings.

Double-byte Chinese characters between Flash Media Server and WebLogic 9.2

i have installed a FMS (Flash Media Server 4.0 developer edition) and a weblogic server on linux. The two servers communicate with each other via WebService (Axis2 on Weblogic 9.2). i can send some XML message from FMS to the Weblogic server and receive message. but the returned message from the Weblogic server is as follows:
<?xml version="1.0" encoding="utf-8"?>
<root>
<response>
<result>1</result>
<reports >
<test>x8054x901Ax6027x6D4Bx8BD5</test>
</reports>
</response>
</root>
the returned messages between the <test> and </test> tag can be decoded to "测试联通性" in Chinese via utf-8. why not the returned messages just show the result as :
<test>测试联通性</test>
Later i made another test: copy the war file in weblogic server to a apache-tomcat server, then the FMS send XML message to apache-tomcat and got the correct message as follows:
<?xml version="1.0" encoding="utf-8"?>
<root>
<response>
<result>1</result>
<reports >
<test>测试联通性</test>
</reports>
</response>
</root>
then what is the problem with my weblogic? what shall i do to solve the problem? thank you for anyone who gives me some advice.
