Flash animated text gif viewed in Fireworks

CS3 flash text saved as gif animated and viewed in firework
text is display as a big dark blob. Is there a way to type the text
so it can be shown clearly and viewed in fireworks without the blob
as an animated gif. Is thre a better way to do this?

quote:
When I create a short flash with text inbeded and I publish
the fla as a gif my text does not display clearly like the swf,
when I view the created gif in fireworks animation, my text looks
like big glob not as a text.
Is there a reason you need to make a gif animation instead of
using a .swf?

Flash animation not viewing in Internet Explorer

I have built a website in iweb using Slideshowpro and Vertical Moon products, everything views as it has been built in Safari and Firefox, in Internet Explorer the text animations do not view at all, but the rest does OK. In opera all views OK with the exception of the text which I used transparent tag, it does not view transparent, but as a block
This is very frustrating has anyone else had this problem, and hw do you fix it
Thank you

Well, I don't really think they do. It is the PC world and ultimately Internet Explorer that are well behind the times with this technology. Internet Explorer must be the worst browser around and has been for sometime - little wonder that Bill Gates used to throw in a free copy with every PC.
It is my belief that the PC industry need to update. In the meantime, what you can do is ensure that the PC users have javascript enabled on the PC's and also suggest that they go and download a copy of either Firefox for PC or a copy of Safari for PC. Add that on your site and let them know that it is best viewed with a copy of Firefox or Safari and have the clickable links on your site so that they can go there.
I don't think it is Apple's problem to address IE - Apple technology is ahead of this. This is for the PC industry to do and to catch up - perhaps they need to ensure they come up with something better than IE and Vista, which has been a bit of a disaster.

Make a Flash animation play only when it scrolls into view

I am designing a very long page. There will be a flash animation at the bottom of the page. I want this animation to play only when the user scrolls down and this flash object comes into view. How do I do this? I am quite familiar with flash and actionscript, so I just need some pointers.
I have seen that this is already being used for advertisements. If you visit www.amazon.com, there are ads that appear far below on the page. These ads play only when you scroll down and the ad appears within the browser window. This happens on many other sites as well.
Many popular sites also use something like this. On CNN, try opening a new tab that loads a flash video. The video begins to play only when you actually go to that tab. Until you open the tab and the contents become visible in your browser window, the video doesn't start. How is this done?
Thanks in advance,
Kumar

Hmmm ... It looks like Amazon doesn't always run ads. I will give another example.
Take a look at http://digg.com/
There is a 300x250 ad at the top of the right-column. Ignore that.
In addition, there is a second 300x250 ad halfway down the page in the right column.
This second 300x250 ad appears when you scroll down.
The interesting thing is that the ad plays from the beginning when you first see it after scrolling down!
Most flash ads run for 15 seconds. After that the animation stops. When you see this second 300x250 ad, you will find it at the beginning of its 15 second animation. It plays from the beginning even if you wait for some time before scrolling down. This means that the ad is waiting for you to scroll down before it begins to play.
How is this done?
Thanks.

Alt hover text for a Flash animation?

Hi,
Is it possible to add alt text to a Flash animation so that
when a user
hovers over the animation, text appears in the same way it
does for images?
Thanks.
Nath.

Thanks Fel_911,
I'm very new to Flash. Is there an easy tutorial on creating
the dynamic
text that follows the mouse?
I already have a Flash animation created which is simply a
series of 3 fade
in/fade out images. Do I just add in a background layer,
under my 3
fade-in/fade-out images and create a mouse-over effect for
that background?
How does the text display? Should the text be part of the
animation,
perhaps as a symbol that appears on mouse-over?
Thanks again for your advice,
Regards
Nath.

Cannot View Flash animations after Installing Flash Player 9!!!!

Ok I installed the new FLash 9 player... ever since I did
this, all flash animations show up blank, no red x, nothing,m just
plain ol empty space where the animation should be... I tried all
the "so called" fixes, from adjusting the registry, to uninstalling
and reinstalling with reboots, and same thing happens. Flash works
fine in Firefox tho, but not IE!
Someone please help! i know i am not the only one who has
this problem. We have a few other machines here at work with the
same issues!

You have an old Shockwave Flash 9.0 r999 version showing in your above posted system details that you should uninstall.

How to email a flash animation

I am trying to email a flash animation to our sales force. I
cannot seem to make this work. The only way that works is making it
an animated gif. However, when I do this, it looks more like an
illustration and my text gets all outta whack. I have read that you
can put it on a server. I am not sure how to do this. Do I have to
have a web site?

Then dzedward's solution is the route you need to go.
Upload the .swf to a server, place the address for the .swf
file in your email, and then send the email. Send the email to
yourself first to ensure that it's working properly.
Be warned though, many people have the security settings on
their email client set such that .swf files are blocked from
appearing in an email. Make sure you warn the client about this,
and suggest adjusting their security settings to allow the content
through if necessary.

Flash animation keeps looping

Hi,
I built a Flash animation which keeps looping. I am trying to get it to not loop
at all and it refuses.

The looping value is set to false above, also in Flash my publish settings are set to not loop.

Assuming the animation is timeline based, then you need to place a stop(); command in the last frame of the timeline.

Centre flash animation into dreamweaver

Hi All,
I am a complete beginner with Dreamweaver, and having great
problems fixing the size of a flash animation I'm playing as an
intro. I have managed to get the animation in and it centred, but
when I tested it on another computer I noticed it had stretched and
for some reason it was possible to minimise the animation by using
the + and - signs whilst in the browser window. How can I prevent
this from happening, so no matter what machine you view from it
keeps the size and position the same.
Any advice will be much appreciated.

You'll probably need to spend time learning how to create things in Flash--maybe try lynda.com. Flash can be used for the animation and mouse interaction revealing text. Once you are able to create the animation in Flash, you can have Flash publish both the swf file, which is what goes into the web page, and an html file. You can copy the code from the Flash html file into the Dreamweaver file wherever you intend the Flash file to be inserted.

How to link flash animations in dreamweaver 8

Hey everyone i have been trying to learn dreamweaver 8, flash
8, and others in a short time. My question is,
I am trying to create a website in dreamweaver 8 but i am
having trouble making a link to another page of the site out of the
flash animation once it's done. I can't find a option for that
anywhere, I was able to link the table in which the animation sits
but it does nothing. For now i just have the word ENTER below the
animation so the rest of the site can be viewed.
here's the link to the site where the animation first page is
www.fatcatzcreative.com
I have spent days trying to figure this out and being the
typical man i have finally broken down and am askin for help.
Thanks in advance to all.

HTML cannot link Flash.
If you want links in Flash, you will have to edit the Flash
file's
actionscript and add the links there.

Animated Texts in Demoversion don't seem to work properly

Hey there,
I am quite interested in buying and working with Adobe Premiere Elements (12). I do quite some hobby film editing, and have some experiences on the field with other free programmes (like Avidemux, Movie Maker, etc.), but I have some spare money and thought that Premiere would help me do my job easier, and / or better.
So, I downloaded the demo version to see if I can get around it, and if it has all the functions I want from a program, that is at least a little bit expensive from my point of view.
All in all I think it is neat, but I have one problem that is a severe problem for me. I can't get my texts animated. No matter what I do. I have read the related FAQ-section, I have had a browse-around in the Adobe TV section, and I don't think I am doing it the wrong way - it just doesn't work.
I have my video, audio and all the stuffs in place. Around the time of 10-15 seconds I do have a title (sort of an intro-title-thingy), and I don't want that to just "pop up" and "pop out", but rather have some nifty animation to come in.
What I am trying is:
Activating / selecting the text passage.
Going to the righthand window, selecting the "animation" tab. There we have the first problem: The preview of the shown effects does only work randomly (which means sometimes it doesn't work at all), and if so, only with a quite big delay.
Nevertheless, when I try to apply any of those animations, I just have no possible way of doing so. The "OK" Button on the bottom of the animation tab is grayed-out, so I can't click that. If I try to drag&Drop the animation on the text in question, it just shows a forbidden-sign and doesn't apply it. Whether I try to drag and drop it on the preview-text in the preiview-video, or if I try to Drag&Drop it to the text in the overview-timeline down below.
From the same window I can apply styles, I can change the text font, etc. The only thing I can't get to work is the animation thing.
I am also quite certain that my new PC should not be the problem - I work on 16 Gigs of RAM, Win 8.1 and an Intel Xeon processor, so that should be enough to handle the workload...
Since I think animated texts are quite improtant for video editing and videos without it look quite, quite less professional, this would be a reason for me to not buy the program at all. Although I think it MIGHT be related to the fact that it is only a demo, but since I can't check that without investing money...
Anyhow, I was hoping that maybe you nice people here have an idea where I am going wrong, and that maybe this is all just related to my own stupidity, so any good ideas? Help? And stuffs?
Thanks for your help in advance!

concreteduck
I have just read your thread and will respond more fully after you have read through the link provided in this thread. Right now I want to point out where I do not agree especially with SG's "The text can only be one line long" when it comes to the Premiere Elements Titler Text Animation Feature. Not so.
For starters, please check out my blog post on the Premiere Elements Titler Text Animations and a sampling of some of the text animation effects that can be achieved in the Premiere Elements Titler Text Animation feature.

Embedding a Flash animation in a Flash Site

I'm looking for a solution to the following problem. I am
developing my website in Flash and I would like to show examples of
interactive flash animations I have developed. I imported my my
.swf animation to my flash site library, but when I drag and drop
it to the stage the following happens:
1. The animation plays from frame to frame without stopping.
2. Elements which were hidden (off the stage) in the
animation now show up on the stage.
3. When I open the animation in edit view (double click the
animation on the stage) the entire animation appears as individual
frames on one timeline.
I would like to maintain the interactivity of the animation
on the site (i.e. buttons, tool tips) and I suspect there is a way
to embed the animation in the flash site while in flash.
Any ideas?
Thanks

You don't really want to add new files that way. In addition
to the problems that you list, you will also be making one, large,
file. This means that it will take longer to download, and possibly
play poorly.
You should keep these independent .swf files as they are, and
"import" them using either AS2's loadMovie() or AS3's URLRequest()
to bring each file into your movie.

Is Flash animation possible in iWeb?

I've tried dragging .swf files I made in Keynote into iWeb, but they just show up in a movie player and not a self playing animation. It wouldn't even show the transitions I made. Has anyone figured out if it's even possible to add Flash?
Maybe in March a Pro version of iWeb will debut along with the other new Universal Pro Apps. Here's hopin'. Other than that, iWeb is pretty dang cool.
<http://web.mac.com/archstanton1862/iWeb/TrickRacing>

I'm not privy to the details and deals made between Macromedia (now Adobe) that allowed QuickTime 4 play Flash version 3 formats. The QT 5 allowed version 4 of Flash. And, 6 allowed Flash 5. Seems they were always one version number behind.
QuickTime 7 can't open Flash published higher than version 5, still. No version 6 support and nothing about Flash MX and newer versions (now up to 8, I believe).
If you want to hide the movie controller (I do it all the time in my pages) just set the html code for controller="false" in both the object and embed tags.
QuickTime also allows "progressive download" (a.k.a. Fast Start). Again, a simple html tag is all that is usually needed (autoplay="true") for this function to work.
The feature of Flash animation that allows this speed is its use of "objects". Once created, they can be morphed into different shapes or reused without increasing file size. Video formats can't do that. And neither does your Keynote export even though it is in Flash file format.
Vector graphics (scalable) are another Flash feature but QT can do some vector graphic formats (text files are an example).
Flash files usually display quickly (small file size) and don't demand much on a CPU because of what they are. Nothing to do with the file content,
Lastly, the Flash format was never intended for "video" formats. They don't do the colors (8 bit 256 colors is the normal limit of Flash) that most graphics now demand.

One of mine from may years ago. Under 3MB's.
Flash (and other tracks added using QT Pro) used. All in a .mov "wrapper".

Hi
You will have to place your code for the flash file inside the code for the picture frame. If you have used the picture frame as a background image then position your flash file using a combination of css rules as required.
Another way (if you have flash pro), is to use the picture frame as a skin for your flash file.
