Flash help needed
Two questions, one is probably easy, the other I don't
know....
First off, I have a website with a flash start page. When I
load the site, a box appears around the flash movie saying "click
to activate and use this control". If i click on it, it goes away
and everything is normal. I'm not sure why this box appears, I
didn't have this problem on my last flash page, is it something
with the html thats loading the flash???
Secondly, is there a way to have an external flash
application/movie (coffee cup flash blog) load into a section of my
current flash template for my site? I guess I'm asking if there is
an easy way to have this external movie load and be able to specify
which part of my main flash template I want it to load in???
I have done a few searches, and it's probably because i've
been up for quite a while working on the site that I am not
understanding the answers. Hopefully its super simple, and please
be patient with me. Thanks in advance
There are answers for both of your questions, my friend.
The "click to activate.." -thing is due to microsofts new
update. If you don't want this everytime someone loads your page
(who wants it enyways?), you can solve this problem pretty easy
with some extra script below your last </object> tag and
upload a ieupdate.js file. Read more about this problem and how to
fix it in some other thread here on theese boards.
Secondly, yes, you can load an external flash movie and
interact it with your main .fla. There should be a tutorial about
this on flashkit.com, actionscript.org or another site.
Happy smile,

Urgent Flash help needed; Using Movie Clip Objects
Hello,
I am currently trying to design a small flash movie.
I have a "Movie Clip" object (a short animation) that i wish to act like a static object until a certain frame on the main Timeline.
Then i want it to play out, at it's own pace, just like normal, until it finishes (no looping)...
What do i need to put into, and where do i put it?
So in short, frame 30 of the main animation triggers the clip, whilst the main animation still runs...
I know very, very minimal AS3... so please, can someone help me?
A lot of solutions suggest a button, but I don't want to use a button, as it's not interactive - just a movie.
i just want the damn movie clip to play in the damn movie when it reaches frame 30! it shouldn't be that hard..There is most likely no need for any code. And most likely no need for a movieclip even.
It sounds like you would need a graphic symbol. (You can convert it in the library or you can just change the instance you have placed on stage.)
First select the symbol on its first keyframe and on the properties panel select the looping options and tell it single frame, first 1.
Then move along your timeline to where you want the animation to start playing. Add a keyframe. Now select Once, first 1.
Now it will start playing, you will be able to see it play as you scrub the timeline.
If you use movieclips and code for this, you won't be able to see them play together as you scrub the timeline. -

New to flash help needed to start
hi i have just downloaded a template which im now trying to modify, i have tons of files which came with the template which one do i start on first to make my website. many thanks debby
If your template came with some form of Read Me file, you should start there. A good template design will provide instructiuions on how to modify it to include your own content. Beyond that, if it is a Flash site, then you want to edit Flash files that have .fla extensions. There may be data files that came with the template that may have .xml or .txt extensions. You may want to look thru these to see if the resemble/define any of the content you plan to change.
Unfortunately, if there are alot of files that came with your template then there are alot of possibilities as to what files need to be dealt with in what way. If there is no read me file, then open whatever fla file came with it and see what's in it that you planned to change as a starting point. -
i'm quite a newbie when it comes to flash and need some help
http://www.sas.se/sv/?vst=true
you look to the right you'll see an airplane and i'll say "Billiga avgångar" next too it
under the text you can see text in yellow being scrambled then reappear
i was wondering how you make the text scramble then display the messeage like that?this is a better way to do it in one textfield. it's easily amended to display one letter per textfield and add textfields as needed.
(to speed up the display shorten charS even down to a one character string.)
var charS:String = "abcdefghijklmnopqrstuvwxyzABCDEFGHIJKLMNOPQRSTUVWXYZ 01232456789,./<>?;':\"[]{}\|!@#$%^&*()-_=+";
var charA:Array = charS.split("");
var displayTO:Number
// user defined params:
// character change in ms
var speed:Number = 1;
encodeF(yourstring,yourtextfield);
function encodeF(s:String,tf:TextField){
tf.text = charA[0];
displayTO = setTimeout(displayF,speed,s,tf,0,0);
function displayF(s:String,tf:TextField,charNum:Number,index:Number){
tf.text = tf.text.substr(0,-1)+charA[index];
if(s.charAt(charNum)==charA[index]){
tf.text += charA[index];
charNum++;
index=0;
if(charNum<s.length){
displayTO = setTimeout(displayF,speed,s,tf,charNum,index);
} else {
tf.text = tf.text.substr(0,-1);
} else {
index++;
if(index<charA.length){
displayTO = setTimeout(displayF,speed,s,tf,charNum,index);
} else {
charA.push(s.charAt(charNum));
displayTO = setTimeout(displayF,speed,s,tf,charNum,index); -
Flash Newbie, Need Help From Flash Masters Out There
Hi to all flash masters out there. Im new in flash
and I only learned it trough flash help. My problem is that if i
dont put a stop() on my first scene/layer1/frame1 my scene1 will
immediately switch to scene2 without pressing the button. And if i
put stop() to prevent scene1 from switching to scene2 without me
clicking a button, all of the tweening effects in scene1 will not
tween anymore.:( Please help, you can also email me at
[email protected]Hi saxah_jean
I am not a flash master but i think the problem can be solved
. Try putting a stop on the last frame of your 1st scene, put a
button on that that frame and give an action to jump to the next
scene, frame 1.

Having trouble opening flash help/f1 in cs6
This is so stupid I can't get any help I need from any one I don't know what I am even doing here. I have tried to contact adobe but all they want you to do is join or become a member of their boards and that is it. I am having trouble opening flash help on cs6 and no one can help me do it. I have join all that adobe wants me to join I have done and paid out all that adobe has requested why can't I get help when I need it with their products?
sound like you try to opne flashMX2004 or flash8 foles in MX.
that wount work. An upgrade would help, or asking your source for
those flas to save then in MX format - which is not possible in
Flash 8 though. -

01525 405040Hi there, looks like you posted this one a couple days ago
but incase you come back to check I think I can help.
Well, if you're using a template within flash you can simply
use shift+F12 to publish the site. It will create a .html, and .swf
file in the same directory you have the .fla flash file stored. To
publish to the web, upload the .html and .swf file to your public
web directory. Simple as that.
no problem linking pages etc. Just create a button and link
use getURL(website,"_self") in your onRelease event handler. Happy
to give more detail if you like.
Cheers,

Hello Robohelp Users,
we want to create our own Robo Flash Help. Does it works with
the Flash Basic Version or do we need the Flash Professionell
version?
MargitMargit -
Flash Help is a product of Robohelp; your users only need
Macromedia's Flash player installed in order to view it. Which,
according to MM, is about 97.7% of the Internet-connected PCs.
So, it looks like you're good to go, yes? -
Flash Help and Publishing / IIS
My supervisor is responsible for publishing my projects to
our intranet server. He published a project of mine and found that
he ran into issues with IIS. I don't have all the details so this
may not be enough to get a good answer, but he told me that he had
to use an * (wildcard) in IIS to allow all the Flash Help
functionality to show on a web page. He wants to know what can be
done so the * does not have to be used, if anything, to have all
the functionality present. Thanks for any help if this is enough to
give a direction, and if not I will try and get more details from
him for later.Hi jacobremprex
Are you using Flashhelp Pro output and the RH Server
software? If not, I don't think you need IIS to publish to the
intranet. You just need to publish to the intranet URL.
Can you tell us where the wildcard has been placed and also
what pieces of Flashhelp functionality aren't working. -
Html/css background flash help!
I seriously need some help. I am somewhat new to flash and
need some help as soon as possible (ANY REPLY will be greatly
appreciated). I submitted an earlier post under the topic "masking
a fading image," but no one has replied (I didn't mean for it to
sound ignorant or retarded, but I'm just trying to find the right
words to accomplish what I'm trying to do. I will break the entire
task down into more appropriate topics and take it one step at a
time.
My first step is as follows: I've created a flash movie file
that I would like to set as the background in an html page. Is this
possible? I do know when I publish the flash as a transparent web
page, I can view the source, copy that, and integrate it into the
html page I want to create (with a background color ="#000000") as
long as the flash file is saved within the directory of the web
content. However, the code (since it is transparent) seems to be
just placed on the html page (on the foreground), and the animation
will hover over any links or pics that are also place within the
page. Is there a way to set the whole flash file in the background
of the html page, so it doesn't seem to hover over other content?
Thank you ahead of time.
JoeYour basic issue is getting HTML to appear over top of an
embedded SWF. If you want to make the SWF literally a background
image like using the CSS rule "background," that is not possible.
If, however, you just need some piece of HTML to appear over top of
a Flash movie(common need is a drop down menu -- like adobe.com
homepage), then there are workarounds, but they are not fun and not
always reliable:

I don't comment much, I tend to be the quiet kind of user
that just does my own thing. I am quite upset with Adobe's change
in the help feature in Flash. I understand that things change with
updates. That's a reason i get work sometimes. Someone wants to
update.
I so loved the large amount of useful code and examples
buried in the Help files in previous versions of Flash. Through
these i could riddle my why through a problem. Multiple examples of
how to use something was often the only way to figure out what I
was trying to do.
Are those days now long gone? I hope not. I am not a
programmer, but i do have some programming experience. I am a web
designer. i prefer not to live in binary, classes and the like.
Often these samples worked as idea starters, and answers to late
night prayers when the oil had been burning all too long. You know,
when your head gets fuzzy and you need to go to bed but the project
has to be done....
Well I don' t mean to be the whiner, but is there anything
that can be done about this?
I know there are some samples in there, I flipped through it
for a while, but i feel the quality of the Help menu in Flash has
dropped dramatically. The new neat features in the Help menu and
the nice skin don't measure up to the loss in content. I plan on
working with MX by my side so i can use its Help features, because
CS3 doesn't look like it will do the job.
Anyone else want to comment?
Thanks,
mr_bidinkleI found this thread through a search.
Has Flash help menu been savaged to leave only two headings??
I only have the following two main headings in my Help Menu:
Using Actionscript 2.0 Components
Actionscript 2.0 Components Language Reference
I have bought the Rich Media Project Player and List
Component and they said their help file is also installed.
I cannot see that here either.
Whats going on? Can an Adobe person answer this for
me??
