Flash Button? Enter after movie has played

Hi all, after the great help I recieved with my first
question I thought that my second one would be a snip to you guys
too, as mentioned before I am new to flash and dreamweaver design
and I have just designed this flash movie:
http://www.nick-lawrence.co.uk
now the problem I have is that I need to either click on it or at
least a part of it so that I can enter the website proper. I can
find no way of doing this in dreamweaver and so have been trying to
add a button to it in flash but when I do this I just get this
error:
**Warning** Scene=Scene 1, layer=Layer 1, frame=1:Line 1: The
file 'toplevel.as', which is required for typechecking ActionScript
2.0, could not be found. Please make sure the directory
'$(LocalData)/Classes' is listed in the global classpath of the
ActionScript Preferences.
on (release) {
Total ActionScript Errors: 1 Reported Errors: 1
I have checked the preferences and there appears to be line
that shows: '$(LocalData)/Classes' and I have looked for the as
file on my computer and it is present but I’m completely
stumped and have no idea how to proceed so any help is greatly
appreciated.
Thanks in advance
Nick

Flash loader reappears after movie plays

i am new to flash and cannot figure this out!!! it's probably
super simple... i have created a loader with progress bar and it
seems to work fine, but after my movie finishes playing the loader
screen with progress bar reappears at the end. how can i make it go
away? here's the actionscript i have so far:
loader.contentPath = "ice.worlds.2.swf";
loader.autoLoad = false;
pbar.setStyle("themeColor", "0x00AEEF");
pbar.setStyle("color", "0xCCCCCC");
pbar.setStyle("fontFamily", "verdana");
pbar.setStyle("fontSize", 10);
pbar.source = loader;
pbar.mode = "polled";
thanks in advance for your help!

i tried what was suggested below, but it didn't work. do i
need to put anything in the parentheses and if so what? i tried
leaving it as is and i also tried putting the name of the loader
file in: "iceworlds.loader.swf"
thanks!

Flash buttons gone after active-update

Hi,
Just performed the active-contect update for flash and
dreamweaver.
After the flash update, nothing had changed. Still needed to
click to activate a button, made in flash (8).
Then I installed the dreamweaver update 8.0.2., also with
updates for active content.
After opening the pages in Dreamweaver 8 I got the promised
question what I wanted to do with the <object> items.
I choose to update them.
Now everything worked fine when I testet the page on my own
server (PC) but the oploaded files where NOT.
All flashbuttons where gone, they just didn't appear!
It took a while untill I found out what the problem was.
Since everything worked fine on my own server, It had to be
something with the uploaded files.
All pages where changed, uploading the swf files didn't bring
the solution, so it had to be something else.
My site has many folders, it's a big site.
When I checked the folders on my own servers I found a new
folder called: Scripts
Uploading this folder solved the problem.
Nowhere in the manual, help files or explanations is
mentioned there will be a new folder called Scripts.
When you have a small site with a few folders, you will
easily spot it, but when you have more then 50 folders.....
Regards,
Eric

Good point, it should say so in the Help files - you might
want to let Adobe
know of that oversight.
Personally, I was pretty happy to have that problem solved so
quickly and
automatically by Dreamweaver - seemed like a big convenience
to me..

How do I make a Flash button animate after clicking?

I think the title is self explanatory... anyway, I wanna make my buttons do a cool animation (like roll away or explode) but until AFTER they're clicked, anybody got a simple explanation? I'm using CS3 btw, thanks!

Within the movieclip, along its timeline, you create whatever different animations you intend for the different interactions. Then you assign code to the movieclip for those interactions that tell it to go to the sections of the timeline associated with each interaction. You could also do it using movieclips within the movieclip, controlling which are visible/playing at any time.
So in the movieclip you create an animation for what happens when you rollover the movieclip. And you assign rollover code to the movieclip to tell it to run that animation (gotoAndPlay(etc)).

Link to DPS article after animation has played?

Hi,
Is it possible to link to a DPS article using a trigger command (or after a delay, or anything similar) without the need for a second click once an animation has finished?
Currently I have a short animation that will play when pressed and I would like it to link to another article once it has reached the end of the timeline or a specific label. The animation itself works fine and the DPS link does work but will not go to the specified article unless there is another press by the user at the end.
I have tried linking to the article using both 'complete' in the default timeline and trigger actions, to no avail...
Any ideas?
Thanks

Found a work-around.
Made a JPEG of the magazine cover and imported to Edge and made it dissolve in after the title animation.
This gives the illusion that it goes to the cover page.
Was hoping for a generic topper that wouldn't need updating each month.

How do I stop the animation at a certain point after it has played part of it on a click?

I seem to be missing some key html knowledge on this! I have a drop down menu and when I click on the text on the navigation bar, I want an animation to occur (the menu to drop down) and then I want it to stop.
Here is the relevant code:
      Symbol.bindElementAction(compId, symbolName, "${_FishingTrigger}", "click", function(sym, e) {
         // Navigate to a new URL in the current window
         // (replace "_self" with appropriate target attribute for a new window)
         window.open("http://www.theriveroverlook.com/Packages/Fishing", "_self");
         // insert code for mouse click here
      //Edge binding end
      Symbol.bindElementAction(compId, symbolName, "${_CookingTrigger}", "click", function(sym, e) {
         // Navigate to a new URL in the current window
         // (replace "_self" with appropriate target attribute for a new window)
         window.open("http://www.theriveroverlook.com/Packages/Cooking", "_self");
         // insert code for mouse click here
      //Edge binding end
      Symbol.bindElementAction(compId, symbolName, "${_PhotographersTrigger}", "click", function(sym, e) {
         // Navigate to a new URL in the current window
         // (replace "_self" with appropriate target attribute for a new window)
         window.open("http://www.theriveroverlook.com/Packages/Photographer", "_self");
         // insert code for mouse click here
      //Edge binding end
      Symbol.bindElementAction(compId, symbolName, "${_GolfTrigger}", "click", function(sym, e) {
         // Navigate to a new URL in the current window
         // (replace "_self" with appropriate target attribute for a new window)
         window.open("http://www.theriveroverlook.com/Packages/Golf", "_self");
         // insert code for mouse click here
      //Edge binding end
      Symbol.bindElementAction(compId, symbolName, "${_RomanceTrigger}", "click", function(sym, e) {
         // Navigate to a new URL in the current window
         // (replace "_self" with appropriate target attribute for a new window)
         window.open("http://www.theriveroverlook.com/Packages/Romance", "_self");
         // insert code for mouse click here
      //Edge binding end
Symbol.bindElementAction(compId, symbolName, "${_Packages}", "click", function(sym, e) {
         // play the timeline from the given position (ms or label)
         sym.play("drop2");
NOTE: If I put a sym.stop ("stop3); here after the play, it stops the animation before it even starts.

My assumption is you are laying down this animation in main timeline (stage). It starts in frame "label=drop2" and it continues until frame "stop3". Maybe this one helps:
- scroll to the last frame of the animation. "stop3" i assume.
- Create a "Trigger Action" (the code window)
- Call the sym.stop() to stop the animation at this frame.

Loading photo to slide show after movie has been created

Hi Everyone,
I created a slide show on iMovie and thought I was done so I created a movie through the Media Share feature (to eventually burn on iDVD). Then, I realized there was one photo I hadn't yet included; so I went back and tried to insert that photo but it won't let me. Does iMovie know that you've already "finalized" a project and not let you make any changes to it after that? Is there any way around this without having to do the entire show over again?
Thanks,
Jen

Hey Dazlari,
I'm so sorry but I actually can't remember what I did! I haven't used iMovie for over a year. I'm not that tech savvy though so it couldn't have been that hard to do :-)
Keep experimenting...I hope you figure it out!
Best wishes,
Jen

GetURL AFTER movie plays

i'm trying to play a .flv file that is called from within a
.swf
i've got that part working using flash by just importing the
video into scene 1. it plays the video.
now when the video has finished playing -- and not until then
-- i then want to do a getURL to splash.htm in order for the viewer
to be taken to another page on the site where there is a nice
looping graphic for them to see but only AFTER the video has
finished playing
i don't know where to put the getURL. i assume i'm not
expected to figure out precisely on which frame number the movie is
going to finish playing and put the getURL there right?
isn't there a way for it to do the getURL after and only
after the .flv movie has finished playing, whenever that may be?
as it is now, it does the getURL before the video has
finished playing with the frame i've got it on now or if i put the
getURL in the next scene it just does the getURL before the video
has had a chance to play through
is there a way for it to know that the video is playing and
not launch the getURL until it's done?
i'm looking for a way to do this using the guided script, i
don't know code

How am I playing it? I opened up a New Flash Document in
Macromedia Flash Professional 8. I did a File > Import Video and
then specified the .flv file and opted for 'Progressive Download
for a Web Server' option. It processed that and I had a video on
the stage, that's it.
Then File > Export Movie creates a .swf file that
apparently automatically calls and plays the .flv file. I didn't
add any code or actions or anything and it plays.
Does that tell you how I'm playing the video or might I be
leaving something out?
I looked up NetStream.onStatus but I don't know code and it's
pretty Greek to me...what exactly am I supposed to do to get it to
do a getURL action after the movie has played? I'm not even sure
where the code would go, like on which frame...within the same
scene where the video is playing I assume?
For comparison on ease of use, the swishvideo program I was
using has a toggle button on the export options that you just click
and then type in the URL you want launched, so this is pretty far
removed for me in terms of complexity...

IMovie HD movie has no Play buttons.. partially frozen

IMovie HD movie has no Play buttons.. partially frozen/ please help. It is only with a particular movie which is both on an external hard drive and on the computer.

Hi
there are two - most probably origin to this
• use of strange media eg .avi, .wmv .mp4 etc.
(not from miniDV tape Camera - as iMovie up to HD6 is made for)
Convert video to - streamingDV and
audio to .aiff 48kHz 16-bit (no .mp3 etc)
• corruption - eg iMovie pref file or preferences
Trash iMovie plist file
Repair Permissions
Usually helps here
Else
*Not knowing the origin to Your problem - General approach when in trouble is as follows.*
• Free space on internal (start-up) hard disk if it is less than 10Gb should rather be 25Gb or more
• Delete iMovie pref file
iMovie pref file resides.
Mac Hard Disk (start-up HD)/Users/"Your account"/Library/Preferences
and is named. (one or more of these)
com.apple.iMovie.plist
com.apple.iMovie3.plist
com.apple.iMovie7.plist
com.apple.iMovie8.plist
and find
com.apple.iApps.plist
While iMovie is NOT RUNNING - move this/these file/s out to desk-top.
Now restart iMovie.
• Hard disk is untidy. Repair Permissions, Repair Hard disk (Apple Disc Util tool)
• Garageband-fix. Start it, Play a note and Close it. Re-try (Corrects an audio problem that hinders iMovie)
• Screen must be set to Million-colors
• Turn off Mac and disconnect Mains/Power for 20-30 minutes - will at least re-set FW-port
• Third party plug-ins that doesn't work OK (not relevant for iMovie’08 or 09)
• Problems in iPhoto Library can affect iMovie to crash on start-up. Re-build this first then try to re-start iMovie.
This You do by
_ close iPhoto
_ on start up of iPhoto - Keep {cmd and alt-keys down}
_ now select all five options presented
_ WAIT a long long time
• iMovie updated ?
• QuickTime updated ?
• Mac OS version ?
• Program miss-match. iMovie 4 - will not work under Leopard
• Program miss-match. iMovie 5.0.2, up to Mac OS X.4.11 AND QuickTime 7.4.1 - is OK
• Program miss-match. iMovie 6.0.3 or 6.0.4, Mac OS X.4.11 AND QuickTime 7.4.1 - is OK (will work under Leopard and Snow-Leopard)
• Program miss-match. iMovie’08 v. 7.1.4, Mac OS X.4.11 AND QuickTime 7.5.5 - is OK (will work under Leopard and Snow-Leopard)
• Program miss-match. iMovie’09 v. 8.0.6, Mac OS X.5.8 AND QuickTime 7.6.4 - is OK (will work under Leopard and Snow-Leopard)
From LKN 1935. (in this case = iMovie HD (5), I tried it all, but nothing worked.
Your answer (above) has been helpfull insofar as all the different trials led to the conclusion that
there was something wrong with my iMovie software. I therefore threw everything away and reinstalled
iMovie from the HD. After that the exportation of DV videos (there has not been any problem with HDV videos)
to my Sony camcorders worked properly as it did before.

I run "Cache Out X", clear out all caches and restarts the Mac.

After the latest version of Adobe flash player was installed, movies and tv shows will not play, and

After the latest version of Adobe Flash Player was installed, movies and tv shows will not run, and most of the news videos will not play. I've tried uninstalling and reinstalling it but that does not help.

I have windows (crap) seven and internet explorer. When I try to access movies or tv shows, I'm always asked to install the latest version of Adobe Flash Player. When I check the programs list, it indicates that Adobe Flash Player Active X is installed. I have uninstalled adobe and reinstalled it several times. Do you suppose this is a virus, and I need to redo the hard drive completely?

ITunes movie has stopped playing

I've just encountered a problem. When I go to play a movie it would play and then lag after awhile. But as soon as I stopped playing and exited back to the movie listings, then went to start playing the same movie the screen would blink suddenly and nothing would happen. It wouldn't allow me to go back to the movie I was playing at all. But, the same movie would play just fine on apple tv. Has anyone experienced this or does anyone know what this is and how to fix it?

Exactly what did you install from Software Update? Your system info shows you are still using OS 10.6.1. The latest SL version is OS 10.6.2.
After the installation did you repair permissions and restarted your computer afterwards?
Make sure you have the latest versions of the following:
Flip4Mac
VLC Media Player
Perian
Adobe Flash Player Software
Again repair permissions and restart your computer after the installations.

Flash button that controls breeze play button

Is it possible to create a flash button that is scripted to
control the play and pause button on the breeze playbar? What I am
looking for is a way to have a button that would start a slide
again after it has stopped and is waiting for the user to start
again.

Hi!
If you want to control the viewer with a Flash button you've
embedded in a powerpoint slide (prior to using presenter to convert
it) try this:
(1) Make your button in Flash, and add this Actionscript to
the first slide (replace [btnName] with the name of your button
instance:
btnName.onRelease = function () {
_root.m_controlBar.m_slideNextBtn._onRelease();
(2) Insert your button's swf in the PPT presentation and
compile with Presenter. Now, when the user clicks the button, it
will simulate pressing the "next slide" button in the viewer's
control bar.
Here are some of the other button names; to use these
instead, just replace "m_slideNextBtn" in the above code:
Play/pause button "m_playBtn"
Next slide button "m_slideNextBtn"
Previous slide button "m_slideBackBtn"
View changer button "m_viewChangeBtn"
Attachment Button "m_attachmentsBtn"
Volume Button "m_volumeBtn"
Hope that helps!

Moving the play head in the main timeline from a button in a movie clip

I have a movie clip that loads and when it is done playing it has a close button that unloads the movie clip... I want to add code to this button that moves the play head to frame 20 of my main timline using actionScript 3.0

Tried that but dose not work think its because I am loading the movie this way...
Play button "playFinal"
function lastQuestion(event:MouseEvent):void{
     var Info:final1 = new(final1);
     this.stage.addChild(Info);
     Info.x=511
     Info.y=340; }
So I tried using the Name "Info"
//example......    MovieClip(Info.root).gotoAndStop(20);
And I tried the name of the clip in the library "final1"
//example......    MovieClip(final1.root).gotoAndStop(20);
Is it because im loading it with actions script instead of having it on the timeline?
