Flash and Fireworks animations

So I am building a website for myself and I want to put a flash animation in. After the animation comes in, more links will appear on top of the animation after it stops moving and stays stationary. I am wondering what I need to do to get this to function correctly between flash, fireworks and dreamweaver.
Do I build the animation, layout the rest of the site in FW, and then put it altogether in DW?
If so, how would I put a SWF in front of the FW layout in DW? (Because that needs to be on top)
Thank you so very much for the help!

Import graphics from FW into FL and create your animation there. Then publish and place the SWF in a page in DW.

    I've worked with frontpage and dreamweaver on simple
    websites. Now I want to publish pictures to my site. My problem is
    tht I want to install a picture a a hair style. I want to display
    the front and bsvk of the style. Which do I use(Flash of Fireworks)
    to make it when you drag your mouse across the picture that it
    turns from front to back? Thanks in advance for your help.

    You could use Either. With Flash you could create a movie
    with two frames,
    one for each image and create a mouseover effect.
    Alternative you could use Fireworks, create the two images,
    then load them
    into DW and add a swap image behaviour to them.

  • Flash and Fireworks combination

    Macromedia MX: I am working on an image in Fireworks and
    would like to incorporate a flash movie into this image so that I
    can put it into Dreamweaver for my website. A quick example of the
    image is a square inside a square (kinda like a TV set). Is there a
    way to layer the Flash movie into the Fireworks image so that the
    Flash movie plays inside the inner square but is not visible on the
    outer square? (since it would overlap somewhat) Would I import the
    image from Fireworks to Flash and work on it there, or import the
    Fireworks image into Dreamweaver and insert the Flash movie there?
    I am not sure how to go about this task. Thanks for any
    suggestions.

    P-C-Surgeonz;
    You can't "layer"a flash swf into an image, but you can
    "insert" the
    image and flash into your html separately using
    dreamweaver--but IMO
    importing the png fireworks png into flash, and just
    embedding the flash is
    easier. -Tom Unger

  • Adobe Bridge Buttons in Dreamweaver, Flash, and Fireworks?

    Hello,
    Adobe says that the button to connect to Adobe bridge is in
    every CS3 application. I can find it in Photoshop, Illustrator, and
    even Contribute, a former Macromedia project, but none of the other
    Macromedia projects (Dreamweaver, Flash, Fireworks) have one. Am I
    missing it, or is this a glitch?
    Thanks,
    Dylan

    Go to Edit > Prefs > Enable Version Cue. Once you do
    that look in the lower left corner of the flash
    application - you should see "Open" with an arrow. Clicking
    on it will popup "Reveal in Bridge" button.

  • Kuler ASE and Fireworks?

    One thing that I noticed with CS3 Fireworks is that there are
    still some inconsistencies -- such as why there is only support for
    the Adobe Swatch Exchange extension in the usual print-output
    programs (i.e. Photoshop, InDesign and Illustrator) but not for
    web-based programs (Flash and Fireworks).
    If Fireworks didn't support CMYK then I'd understand however
    CS3 now covers that. So why no compatibility?
    Or is there a converter / tool to allow the swatch
    information to display?
    Thanks!

  • CS5 and CS5.5 64-bit (Flash, Illustrator, Fireworks) ALL Crash Out of Nowhere on Windows 7 64-bit

    ATTENTION ADOBE! Your CS5 and CS55 products crash continuously on Windows 7 64-Bit. And I don't mean just when I'm saving (which they do) or when I'm importing into Flash Pro (which it does); I'm saying it just completely dissappears just as if I hadn't even opened it. No error message whatsoever. Oh, and of course, ALL WORK GONE since my last save; And I don't think that I should have to save every 5 seconds!
    IS THERE A FIX FOR THIS?
    IF NOT...
    PLEASE FIX THIS ISSUE BECAUSE WE'VE SPENT A LOT OF MONEY ON YOUR PRODUCTS; AND NOW THEY'RE COSTING US EVEN MORE WITH POOR PRODUCTIVITY BECAUSE WE HAVE TO KEEP REDOING THINGS; NEVERMIND ALL OF THE FRUSTRATION IT IS CAUSING!!!
    I thought that upgrading from CS5 to CS55 might help, but no, the problem is even worse.
    FLASH, ILLUSTRATOR, and FIREWORKS ALL EXHIBIT THE SAME SYMPTOMS.

    Sorry to bother you I just thought you might hit on something if other apps were not working.
    Is everyone in your office having this issue with Flash, Fireworks or Illustrator crash? How many people?
    Did you upgrade to 64-bit from 32-bit?
    Are you using an approved OS for your hardware; i.e. Dell recommends using?
    Have you scanned your memory to see if its bad?
    Do you have your memory in the right slots in your motherboard?
    What apps are you using when Flash, Fireworks or Illustrator crash? If you are running Photoshop, Premiere or After Affects you might have to adjust their memory useage.
    When Flash, Fireworks or Illustrator crash is your system having issues?
    Have you checked the event logs in Windows to see if there are any error or critical events logged at or around the time when  Flash, Fireworks or Illustrator crash?
    Note you can also open a support ticket with Adobe on the issue and work that pretty far without paying $25 (which is not that much); if your business is losing money as you stated originally.

  • Flash CS5.5 unable to import sounds and massive animation lag

    So, having reached a point where I want to add sound to my animation (which is extremely laggy for no particular reason), I find myself completely unable to import sounds of any form into Flash. "Oh, crap" I say to myself, and come onto the forums looking for a solution. Apparently importing the sound into a sound editor (ie audition) and then resaving it works, except it hasn't in my case and I'm still stuck with this stupid "Couldn't import [filename]" error.
    (and my animation is extremely laggy for some reason in case you hadn't realised from the hints above. Does this have something to do with the fact that I am using blurs in the animation and then animating them with tweens, or is flash cs5.5 (and 5) just not good at rendering blurs efficiently?)

    In Flash, all of the animation is done at runtime, not during authoring. This means that a blur, for instance, is done when the user is looking at the movie. This is completely different from the way that video is played on a computer. All of the animation workload is on the user's processor.
    If you have a normal bitmap image that you are blurring with a blur filter and then animating that bitmap on the timeline in a tween, then you are giving the processor a lot of work to do. If you import a blurred bitmap and animate that, the processor has much less work to do.
    That may or may not describe the problem that you are seeing.
    I have no idea what the problem is with the sound files. Can you post one of the sound files so that someone could take a look at it?

  • Flash Player slows down CSS and DOM animations

    Greetings again,
    Following symptom happens only in Vista (both 64 and 32 bits)
    IE8 Beta 2.
    Using Flash animations (SWF) in same screen with other DOM
    and CSS animations makes browser inresponsive. This does not happen
    in Firefox, Opera etc. on very same Vistas and does not happen in
    IE6 on a Windows XP machine or IE7 in Vista
    Here is an example:
    http://www.chip.com.tr
    Don't mind the language of site, here is the thing: Menus
    such as BÖLÜMLER, DOWNLOAD etc. on top, right of the logo
    OR blue icons again right of the logo, normally works very well
    without problems. However, when advertisements are loaded (which
    are flash based), IE on Vista turn into very slow responsiveness
    values when you mouse over these icons and menus. I tried to change
    just flashes load without javascript need, result did not change
    By design, is there some error or is this classified as bug?

    No slowing down on page given on menu transitions and are you

    Edit: Just tried it. Removed entire IE8 and reinstalled IE8

  • Adobe 'fixes' for Flash and Dreamweaver

    According to what I've been reading, Adobe added fixes to
    Dreamweaver 8.02 to deal with the Active Content problem created by
    Microsoft when Flash animations are embedded in web pages. Since I
    have an earlier version of Dreamweaver and Flash and am having
    problems like everyone else with that issue, would some 8.02 user
    kindly inform me if this is indeed the case, and what does one do
    in the new version to ensure Flash active content runs as intended?
    Is it something that one must still manually add to the code in an
    .html file, is the correction added automatically, is there an icon
    to press....just how is the new feature/fix used and incorporated?
    I'd like to know before considering an update. Thank
    you..............frank

    http://www.adobe.com/support/dreamweaver/downloads_updaters.html#dw8
    Basically after you update if you add a flash file you get
    this code added to the html file:
    <script src="Scripts/AC_RunActiveContent.js"
    type="text/javascript"></script>
    and that folder (Scripts) and (fileAC_RunActiveContent.js)
    are automatically created with your project. When you import a swf
    file the code that is automatically generated is also updated with
    a snippet of code to fix the AC issue:
    <script type="text/javascript">
    AC_FL_RunContent( 'codebase','
    http://download.macromedia.com/pub/shockwave/cabs/flash/swflash.cab#version=7,0,19,0','wid th','404','height','368','src','~movies','quality','high','pluginspage','http://www.macrom edia.com/go/getflashplayer','movie','~movies'
    ); //end AC code
    </script><noscript>
    You dont really have to do anything other then remember to
    upload the scripts folder to your server when you publish.

  • How to Create a trigger code for turning on light bulbs in flash and animate images professional cs6

    hi,
        i designed a very interactive music website in illustrator and photoshop and i am trying to animate the main page design in flash professional and eventually publish it as HTML5. There are couple of questions i need to ask before starting
    1) should i import my design in differnet layers from illustrator into flash professional in order to make it easier to isolate and animate specific parts of the web page?
    2) i want to have a roll over effect that allows certain features in the page to turn on and off when the mouse hovers over them. can you explain how to do that? any tutorial videos i could follow
    3) what format should i use when importing my illustrator design into flash professional
    4) how should i animate the content pop out from the safe box into the main screen in flash professional (i have never used this program before, so i will be going off video tutorials and whatever suggestions/help you would have)
    **The idea is to have a content frame fly out of the safe into the screen (the size will increase rapidly and it will fade into the screen as well while rotating 360 degrees for one revolution). The content is a basic rectangular frame i designed in illustrator. The body of this frame will be transparent allowing me to embed the main page features into it eg music, videos, bio etc. All this will be done in the later process, the main issue is figuring out how to animate the content frame into the screen and also creating a click feature that allows the content to fly back into the safe and then the safe closing in.
    Secondly, the trigger code rollover effect that allows certain features light to turn on when the mouse hovers over it and turn over when its not.****

    I think you'll get most flexibility by turning on the feature that lets you keep your Illustrator layers as Flash layers. You'll also want to check the box that lets you make an Illustrator object into a MovieClip for anything that you want to interact with or address through code.
    Add an event listener for MOUSE_OVER that triggers whatever functions you need to create to turn on the features. This means that your object that you will mouse over will need to be a MC, as well as any other objects that will be addressed (for example, calling play()) will need to be a MC. You'll want to have a matching MOUSE_OUT handler that stops MC's, hides them, or whatever.
    You should probably organize your Illustrator file so that the objects you need to address are on their own layers. This includes nested objects. Name things informatively. Remember, if the first import doesn't give you exactly what you want, you don't have to save the change--you can edit your settings or the Illustrator file and try again.
    Look into motion tweens. I highly recommend the books "How to Cheat at Flash" and "Animation with Scripting." I don't really think the way they tell you to script will advance your career if you want to be a software architect, but if you just want to animate the occasional widget, it's fine.

  • Help with CS4 and fireworks

    Hey all, running out of time I am trying to set up a website for my sons baseball team this spring and I am in a little bit of a pickle. I am using DW CS4 and I have set up a slide show in fireworks CS4 as well, when I create the slideshow and test in a browser it works with no problem. Here is where the issue comes in to play, I create a sideshow using the the (player-black flash and when I import it into dreamweaver and set it up on my page I save the page and when I test I have no pictures show up. (I have included a screen shot) of  what happens. I have tried different type of players and they all do the same thing. I have watched videos on how to import the slide show into dw and as far as I know that is not the problem. I have downloaded the most current version of adobe flash player but still no luck. And this is the one thing that everybody wants more than anything the pictures of games. Can anyone give me some help or suggestions, I have downloaded a software called visual sideshow, but I like the way fireworks looks and I plan on adding more slides as the year goes on. For what it is worth I have the copy of Adobe master collection CS4, but being new to web design and watching videos on fireworks it seem to be the easiest to learn. Can anyone give me some feed back on what I may be doing wrong. By the way I am using Win7 if that matters any
    Thanks,

    Fireworks is not the ideal solution for slideshows. Creating images, yes.

  • Posing a question for those well versed in flash and flex

    I would like to start an off-line communication chat with those of you who are well versed in Flash and Flex.
    I've worked with Cold Fusion but I am not up to date on all the technologies available.  This seems like the perfect forum for this question.
    I simply want to build an application (web or desktop is unknown) in which a person can learn a foreign language, in this case English.
    I need some technical advice as to whether Flash, Flex, or a combination of technologies (Cold Fusion for server side functionality) is the best choice for this application.  I do not understand the technical aspects of Flash or Flex in building applications so I need the advice of you experts.
    As with most foreign language textbooks, audio, or foreign language video training, the material is not interesting, not pertinent to daily life, and is great for late night insomnia.  I've never seen any type of foreign language training that is interesting, fun, or uses current events as part of the curriculum.
    I would like to illustrate my idea with an example.  I want to use an existing English beginners textbook (for kids), scan the images in the textbook, store the content (rules of grammar) in a database and store example sentences in a database.
    I would like to record basic audio sentences from the textbook (Do you know tomorrow's weather), incorporate some animation (baseball player hitting a home run), incorporate some basic video (purchasing an item at the grocery store), add a quiz, test question or puzzles, etc..
    In addition, since this is a classroom setting and the kids are split into groups, I would like to store a seating chart with the kids names and pictures in a database.  After the first segment is finished (e.g. purchasing a toy at the store) the kids next perform an activty.  I want to use a combination of audio, video, and animation to explain the activity, give instructions, split the class into groups,and perform the activity.
    As I mentioned before, I would like to start an off-line discusion for those of you who are willing to share some of you knowledge and experience with both Flash and Flex.  Since you are extremely busy, maybe you might be able to point me in the right direction.
    Hopefully, some of you can provide some sound technical advice.
    Thanks in advance

    This is an abitious project even for some-one well versed in flex/flash, i have to give you points for outstanding courage on this .
    You need to cover quite a few areas in a project like this both for the client and the back end, you need a strong understanding of animation(either through code or the flash timeline), data parsing, logic trees for the quiz/test elements and a lot more before the first line of code would be written.
    In Australia there are already a few companies using flex for online educational applications and at least 1 state educational Authority. A search on the internet will find several sites pertaining to flash/flex based online education software and this would be a starting point to give you an idea of the strength flex has in this area.
    Beyond this it is not the sort of project that 'help' would be readily available for unless it was relating to very specific issues you could readily define. Also this is not the best forum to request this type of help as the forum is more about testing a beta product. I am sure that if you start learning about flex and have trouble understanding different aspects of how things work there will be plenty of support from the flex community.

  • When using FF 5.0, rollover type ads on Facebook game Lexulous pages are 'enlarged' and block 1/3 of the game board. Using up to date versions of Win 7 Home Premium, Adobe Flash and ActiveX

    When using FF 5.0, rollover type ads (i.e. ads for XBOX) on Facebook game Lexulous pages are 'enlarged' and block 1/3 of the game board. Using up to date versions of Win 7 Home Premium, Adobe Flash and ActiveX on an HP Pavillion dv7 laptop. Does NOT happen at all in MS IE 8, but occurs every time in FF 5.0.
    Also, Google 'translate this page' links do not work in FF 5.0, but works in MS IE 8. All I get in FF is a blank page, time after time.

    Hi,
    I am using a Nvidia 4200M adapter in my Laptop, Driver 266.96, Direct X 11
    In my desktop I am using an ATI XFX 6950, latest revision drivers (I am not at home right now so I cant get that info).
    The issue I did describe above, but it was a long explanation.
    In some flash games the game files load initially and get as far as the "click to start" button. Then the flash area usually goes either all white or all black (usually depending on the falsh game default background color) and then it stays that color. Cant see anything after hitting start (usually most games have an intro video or animation before the game starts, but I cant see any of it.
    For the very few games that do start, the flash game or application does not seem to work correctly in that when the rare game starts, it wont save any game files or save files to the pc and so if I exit the game (navigate away to another page or close browser) and then later come back, even though I click the option to save games (and ensure that the flash application slider shows it can save files and lots of space) it does not save and I have to start from the beginning all the time.
    More explanation I gave above.

  • Exporting flash cc html5 animation to edge animate

    I want to create an interactive animation for PC, cellphones tablets etc. Since most cellphones do not support flash I decided to do this in HTML5. Flash cc supports html5 canvas but the response time of the simple buttons I created is just awful and buggy. After researching I found out that everyone suggest Edge for html5 content. My problem is in edge I do not have any brush or pen tools which I need for my animations. So I would have to create vector animations in flash and export them to edge. I have found absolutely nothing to do this. I can either export as swf which the majority of cellphones do not support or videos that are non vector or non vector image sequences. I can publish flash cc html5 canvas as html/js but I cant Import it to edge. Am I missing something or why isn't this possible?

    Hi Alhab
    One way to do this is, exporting your content from Flash to Edge Animate as sprite sheets. The following discussion might help you to bring your content from Flash to Animate.
