Flash Animation Wanted

The project...
Wanting an animation of a Lexus Limo (Lexus LS 320) (Dark Grey or a Light Grey), Chauffer (with a Chauffer's hat) (if possible, White male) and Passenger/s (if possible, 3 mixed ethnicities)
No background, all white.
We would like to have the Lexus car pull up beside the Passengers, Chauffer gets out of limo on the right hand side (we are from the UK and have right hand drive cars) and walks around the Lexus car and opens door for Passengers to get in, Passengers get in car, and the Chauffer closes the door, the Chauffer then gets back in Lexus and drives off in to distance.
the sort of car we are looking for is something like this one, but in Dark Grey or a Light Grey colour
http://www.parts.com/vehicleImages/colormatched/transparent/320/cc_2009LEX009a_320/cc_2009 LEX009a_320_8U0.png
I have someone else working on a new logo for him and this will need to be placed in the centre of the passenger (left hand side) front door.
a bit like the following example. (file attached)
But we have not yet got this ready so we will need to have a place holder type image that we can change at a later date to the new logo when they have finished it.
As car pulls off, a puff of smoke from the exhaust comes out in the shape of a phrase, still to be agreed, but maybe something like, ‘another satisfied customer’ but this will be agreed later on.
this part is not part of his original request but I thought it may look cool to have something like this.
This feature we would like to be able to change the text as and when needed. Maybe via an XML file ? Possible ?
Also the FLA file must be included so we can replace the temporary logo image with that which is being created.
Please submit your quotes via PM

I'd start by Googling Genetic Algorithm's - there's a wealth
of info out
there. As for your 'snag' - OOP is your friend.

How do I make multiple buttons in my flash animation?

I am new to flash, and I have no training in it whatsoever. I
created a flash animation with flash CS3 for my photography
website, and I want to link each of the images to different
galleries on my site. When I created my first button it worked
fine, but when I try to create actions to link more than one image
as a button, keep getting an error that says "1021: Duplicate
function definition." How do I make each image as a separate
button?
I used the video of this tutorial as my guide to learn how to
create a button:
http://www.adobe.com/designcenter/flash/articles/flacs3it_firstflash_pt1.html
Also, when I run the animation to test it, it loops, and I
don't want it to loop. How do I stop it from looping?

I used the method shown in the tutorial I mentioned to create
it (created a new layer for the button, selected the area of the
image for the button,used modify -> convert to symbol
-> button, I edited it so it was an invisible button by
moving it to the hit frame, gave the selected area an instance name
of Hizumi_btn, inserted a new layer for actions and added the code
I have attached to this post.
I assumed that I would just need to repeat this procedure for
each of the other images in my animation, but when I did that I
received the error.
I greatly appreciate any help you can give me.
Thanks for the information on how to stop the animation.
Here is the code I used to create my first button.

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.

I want so carry out the main character speak the message and stop yourself automatically without user intervention to push any buttons ...

Ah, and how to put the link to a page by clicking on this open a flash site?

How to do it step-by-step? Because i'm beginner in FLash and that things of animation, codes, functions...
And I create that simple animation in other program, not using the Adobe Flash, but I think can be edited that file animation in Flash because I have the files ".swf" and ".flv"...
I don't know how to do it in Adobe Flash CS3, but I have that program installed in my pc, then can you talk me what to do it?
Sorry my bad english, i'm from Brazil.

How to Prevent Flash Animation Playing?

I have a flash animation that plays automatically when the user lands on the homepage of my site. It's part of the header, so it's present on every subsequent page of the site as well. However, I would like it to NOT play on the other pages. It should be visible, but only display the first frame or so of the animation, rather than playing automatically on every page.
How do I stipulate that in the code? Is there a line I can add somewhere?
Thanks for any help.

the easiest thing to do, is to create two different swfs. one for the home page (that you've already made) and one for the other pages which will be the same as the one you have now except you want to add a stop() to the swf's first frame.

How Can I Make a Flash Animation for TV?

I'm learning flash animation and am wondering once I save the flash file to a dvd format, how does the end-user navigate when they put the dvd into their TV? Do I need to design and incorporate a menu for the end-user? If so, how does the TV remote control navigate through this menu that was created on a Mac computer? Thank you for your help, I really appreciate it.

I don't know a lot about this subject but thought I'd give it a shot to answer. You can use Adobe Encore to create menu systems for your DVD title screen. As far as Flash is concerned I think you can import your animations into Encore's menu system though I'm not exactly sure how. If you want to just make an animation that will be played back without interactivity you would just export your Flash animation as a Quicktime MOV file and import it into After Effects for further editing and finishing. Once you render your mp4 (h.264) from AE you can bring this into Encore to author for your DVD.

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".

Send score of flash animation in a slide of captivate 6.

Hi,
I want to insert a slide captivate named January 1 swf flash animation in which a score appears at the end of this swf animation. I will wish that captivate gets this score and place it on the slide named 2. Do you know how? I guess it must be programmed into the flash animation but what code returned for captivate know to interpret it?

You may be able to use some of the original code. A widget is also an SWF. It just has certain code that Captivate requires in order for Cp to see it as a widget.
You can either use Adobe's widget templates (see their Help doco) or you can use the WidgetFactory API by Tristan the Widget King:

Flash animation as wallpaper

Windows seven does supports non static or movie wallpaper. Not sure about swf, but mpeg and wmv, yes.
Convert the swf to mpeg

Flash Animation Frame Rate

Hi -
I just put a flash animation (which I made in Flash Pro CS6) in a Cp 5 slide (which I've done countless times), but for some reason, when I adjust the frame rate in Flash, it doesn't adjust it in Cp.
Right now my animation is too fast for the audio in the Cp slide, and I want to slow it down by reducing the frame rate.
Does anyone know how to do this or why what I'm doing isn't working?
Thanks in advance.

Wiezzy,
I was wondering, why not put the audio in the Flash file...this way, you would have total control over synching the audio to the animation...and, as long as your audio publish settings are the same as the Captivate file, there should be NO differentiation in audible performance...in other words, the Flash SWF and the Captivate SWF should sound identical.
And to answer your previous question, I'm fairly certain that the Captivate and Flash SWFs run at there published framerates independently...so if you put a Flash animation that was authored at 10fps...Captivate wouldn't up speed to 30fps...
It's all about resources and performance...two SWFs with two different framerates use more resources...which is why you'd want your Flash SWFs destined for Captivate projects at 30fps...

Watching flash animations on mac mini

to anyone reading this, please bear in mind my computer literacy is kindergarten level. i've just bought a mac mini. i transferred some flash animations that i did on my old computer by using a jump drive. they wouldn't play, because it didn't have an application selected. i clicked on quicktime, (the wrong guess evidently) and now i want to somehow deselect that, and find the right application to watch and work with these animations. anyone know what i need to do? also, as a general question, if i try to open up something i've transferred from a pc, how can i figure out which application to use?

You need an application that can play Flash files. I believe that Firefox can ;lan them as can Safari. If you are looking for a stand alone player maybe one like this: http://mac.eltima.com/freeflashplayer.html can help.
I don't know much about flash. I do know that Adobe makes software for creating and playing flash files so maybe there is something available on their site.
You might try dragging the flash file onto the Safari icon in the dock. Safari should be able to play it.

Stock flash animations act hyperactive?

Cp5 question.
Recently upgraded to Cp5 (used Cp4 for about a year) and I've been exploring and testing to better understand everything.. I found the 'canned' flash animations packaged with the application and I was building a library of them so they're easier to browse through and find what I want.
However... a couple of the items behave a little strangely during preview and after publish, most notably the 'bend arrow' and the 'shiver' arrow. If I simply 'play' the slide, they look great. However, if I do a prevew project, next 5 slides, from this slide, etc, and after publishing, the bend arrow flashes so quickly I'm afraid I'll give people seizures. The shiver arrow sits and does nothing.
I tried fiddling with the timing of the object both in relation to the slide and on it's own, and I didn't see any other options in the properties that seemed to calm it down.
Any suggestions on how to make these little guys sit still and behave?
Thanks-

Captivate 5 is ActionScript 3 yes...but I just took a look at the down.FLA file for the Shiver Arrow animation as installed with Cp5 in the Gallery folder and guess what, it was ActionScript 1. That's not a typo. I kid you not. It was Flash Player 6 AS1.
I had heard CpGuru mention a week or more ago that some of the animations shipped with Cp5 were AS2, but I was certainly NOT expecting to find any AS1 files. And it's not a case of just changing the setting in Flash to output the FLA as an AS3 SWF. It throws errors complaining about deprecated properties, which is to be expected since AS1 is a dinosaur programming language.
This might explain the wierd behaviour of your arrows. I think it's definitely something Adobe should address by providing a download of AS3 upgraded animations on their blog site.

How was this "flash" animation done?

How was this "Flash" animation done?
http://www.templatemonster.com/flash-templates/15812.html
There is a "flash" that goes down the sholder of a man in this Flash intro page. It is a series of jpg images. Do you know how this can be done or which program was used? I want to chage the page of it.
Thanks, Steve

Hi Steve,
I'm pretty sure it's done with a mask. You have the man picture layer and the border layout masked by a symbol (maybe a square or rectangle) above it.
If you want to know how to use mask in Flash, just ask Google. There is a bunch of tutorial on the web.
Hope it's a good start for you !
