Flash intro's

Hi,
I'm new to flash, I program in CSS with dreamweaver, however I downloaded a Flash Intro Template for my site, I have no trouble editing the text and pictures though I can't figure out how to connect it to my index page. It seems like the code is hidden. I want it to end and then fade into my index page created in css, I figure there is a place I can plug in the URL to do this?
In my library there is a folder labeled buttons, in there there is a button labed replay and hidden, is there an html code within this hidden button that I can edit?
Please any help is much needed.
I attached a screen shot of my flash page

You're not likely to find much of any html code inside the file, especially not inside a button symbol. If you can show an image of your main timeline, the stage, and maybe any code that might live in the first and last frames, then someone might be able to help figure things out. To see code, look for little "a"'s in the timeline.... select the frame and open the Actions window (Window -> Actions).

How can I import my html flash intro into Muse?

I created a flash intro using Tumult Hype.
I just designed a website in Adobe Muse and I'd like to insert my flash intro to be the first screen on my website. I'd also like to link it so that when i click "enter" it takes me to the home page of my site.
How can i do this? I've read numerous articles and forums on this problem and no one seems to have the solution.
Someone PLEASE HELP!

Use the code below... Upload your tumult file to your server as i don't think this will work locally. Insert an HTML object on your first page in Muse ( Home/Index.html ) and paste the code below in the object, change the URL in the code to point to your Tumult document. You may have to use an absolute path to other pages when you click the enter button for example http://www.yoursite.com/otherpage.html which will then take you to other pages in your muse document. Let me know if you run into issues...
Adding iframes to your site to display other site pages with embedded HTML
In addition to using embedded HTML to insert code you've pasted from a third-party website, you can also embed an entire web page within an iframe using the same method. For example, you can type a code snippet like this:
<iframe title="A Title for this Content" src="http://yoururlhere.com" width="900" height="500" style="border: 0;"></iframe>
In the code above, replace the text in the title="" and url="" with the desired external web page's title and URL. You can also customize the width and height of the iframe window to the desired values to fit your site's design.
Optionally, you can also add an attribute that ensures the iframe will not display a scrollbar by adding this to the opening iframe tag:
scrolling="no"
By choosing Object > Insert HTML, you can open a new HTML Code window and embed an iframe anywhere on your site and then set any URL (site address, such as www.google.com) to display a site that is live on the Internet inside it.
You can also use an iframe to embed animation, such as the HTML5 animations created in Adobe Edge. Find the name of the HTML file created by Adobe Edge and use that file name in your iframe's URL attribute:
<iframe src="Project-Header-r1v1.html" width="100%" height="100%" scrolling="no">
</iframe>

Putting Flash Intros on my site?

I have Dreamweaver CS4 and I want to put a Flash intro on my
site that plays before getting to the home page, but I can't seem
to find any tutorials on it. Can somebody point me in the right
direction? I know how to embed a Flash video onto my pages, but I
don't know how to get one to be a separate piece. Thanks all!

>>The splash screen becomes the index
Yup!
And just for the record, when a prospective client demands a
splash page or
autoplay music I refuse to build the site. Not saying you or
anyone else
should do that.
There's an old joke about a man asking a woman if she would
sleep with him
for $1M. She says, "Absolutely; Yes!" He then asks, "Will you
sleep with me
for $10?". She replies vehemently, "Hell No! What do you
think I am?" To
which he replies, "We have already established that. Now we
are merely
negotiating the price."
To me, if I tell a client or prospect that auto play music or
a splash page
will be significantly counterproductive and they should not
even consider
either and then I go ahead and add either to the site, I'm
nothing more than
what that woman was.
You see I don't think my primary goal is to please my client;
that's my
secondary goal. My primary goal is to please my client's
prospective
clients/customers. Not surprisingly, when I am unencumbered
in pursuing my
primary goal I routinely accomplish that secondary goal.
That's just me. Not saying you should take that rigid
position, but you
might want to at least think about it. ;-)

Flash Intros on an iWeb site

I purchased a flash intro template off of templatemonster.com. I edited the flash intro in a trial version of Adobe Flash CS3. After I edited the template so that it had the wording I wanted I then did not know what to do to actually make it my flash intro. After I had edited it, it gave me .html, .swf and .fla files for the intro. The .html file and the .swf file actually play the intro, the .fla file does not.
After playing around for some time, I realized that the flash intro would not play because my index.html file directs the front page to be the "Welcome" page. After playing around for a bit, I changed the name of my flash intro .html file to "Welcome_.html"...the same file name as the front page. I uploaded the flash "Welcome_.html" file to the the server and BOOOOM! My flash intro plays however it is in the wrong position and does not link to the site. I believe the correct file is supposed to be the .swf version because it is centered correctly and includes buttons like "sound" and replay.
Anyways, I know I am far off with my jerry-rigging of the .html files, but does anybody out there know how to put a flash intro onto an iWeb site or how that would look on the server?

Drag the SWF file onto your welcome page in iWeb. If you don't want the control bar, uncheck it in the QuickTime inspector. Check autoplay and loop if your flash file is not set to autoplay and loop.
When you upload to the server the SWF file is in the Media folder.

Please help (flash intro cs4)!!!

i have this intro. I open it in flash and play it. As soon as the Offbeat idea text goes away the background fades to black instead of staying consistent.

Video to Flash Intro

I made a 10 second video that I would like to put on my webpage as a flash intro but I don't know anything about flash. Is there an alternative or an easy way to do this?

Has anybody ever used one or recommend one. Preferably free. < </div>
You're on your own there. But if you find one you lie, please come back and let us know which one you used.
The buzz around Flash is still bigger than the reality as witnessed by your misunderstanding. it is NOT a univresal solution to anything and it comes with a heavy learning curve.
Flash is a super efficient visual technology that uses, when it can, the host computer to build images. This keeps the files really small. However, this trick only works with vector images. Video must be rasterized so the Flash version of any QT file is going to be about the same size. Flash has the advantage of offering universally available free players. QT and WMV are proprietary and the two owners have conflicting agendas about global domination. Adobe wants to rule the world, too, but Flash is free and will run on anything anywhere anytime.
Drop by adobe.com and spend a few days trying to figure it out.

Need Help Adding Flash Intro To Existing Site

OK I'm helping a buddy of mine out and he's already got his sie built for him by someone else, the index file is .php. Now I've got this little Flash animation that we want to run first, then when it's done go to his website. When I try to add it to the top of the index page all that happens is the site loads like in normally did but with the Flash movie at the top instead of being another page. What do we need to do to have it load on it's own first?

yes. the index.html should embed your flash intro swf and at the end to your swf (and in a skip intro button code) you should open the current main page (using getURL or navigateToURL).

Embedding a flash intro

Hi,
I download and edited a flash intro template for my css dreamweaver page. I was wondering how I embed this into my index so that it plays then fades into my index page? I know it must be different then inserting a flash movie, has anyone ever done this and if so can you help me?

Hi Dylan,
can you please elaborate on the workflow you are looking at specially with regards to your following phrase:
>>so that it plays then fades into my index page
So do you want that Flash file plays and then disappears. If yes when it disappears does some underlying text/design of your index page becomes visible?
Give us more insights!
Regards,
Vinay

Flash intros in iweb??

i recently heard of flash intros and was wondering if they could somehow be installed on iweb. I know iweb will not let you access the root html so if you anything it would be a great help.

Sort of flash intro but not!

Hey everyone!
I am new(ish) to Flash and I have MX 2004
I would really like help when it comes to making a flash
intro. It is sort of like a flash intro but not.
I want the elements of the website to start moving in then
when they have all stopped moving, the site to be TML/PHP again.
This would only happen for the index page, and only the first time
they came to the site, so it only happened once.
You can see an example of the sort of thing at
this website but the whole
thing is made in Flash.
Is this possible, if it is can someone help me?
The site need help with is
HERE
If anyone could email me of reply here I would be really
grateful.
Thanks!

Sarsie -
Yes, it is possible to do this (i.e.Run Once when they come
to the page). I expect that if you use a cookie, you could even
tell it to only run the first time they come to the page. Most
definitely you can have it on only one page. See my web site for an
example of the latter.

HELP!!!! FLASH INTRO!!!!!

hello all,
i created a flash intro for my site (only 162k). when i
launch my site (jimfioredesign.com) on various browers, on
different machines, with different connectivity (t1, cable, etc),
there is a 3-5 second delay before it plays. does flash have a
built-in progress bar or something to let the user know something
is going to play soon? or, is there a more efficient way of saving
it (i currently saved it with 80 quality which maintains the
sharpness).
btw, i'm a print designer trying to learn flash/web design.
thanks in advance!

you need to research how to make flash "preloaders" . Its not
built in.
tutorials for that are probably all over web and can vary in
complexity depending on what you want to show during your 3-5 sec
delay.

Putting a Flash Intro on iweb

I brought a flash intro in .fla format and I was using FTP for mac to upload the flash intro to my iweb. What is the FTP server for site of iweb.

Where are you hosting the site? If you have a MobileMe account and are using iWeb you don't need an ftp application (MobileMe doesn't support ftp, only WebDAV). Just use the File->Publish to MobileMe menu option.

Active Content Update ruins my Flash Intro

Forum,
I installed the Active Content Update to get rid of the
"Click here to Activate this Content" message during mouseovers on
my Flash Intro.
However, now that the message is gone, I have two problems
that are somehow being controlled by the AC_RunActiveContent.js or
something.
1. The flash is supposed to be centered on the screen, but
instead it's in the upper left. Even the html calls for it to be
middle.
2. The "Skip Intro" and "Sound" controls are gone
Can anybody help me understand what happened and what I need
to do to fix it?
You can see where I'm at by going to: www.imagine1group.com
www.Imagine1Group.com
I appreciate any help. I'm kind of new to this.
Regards,
John

aniebel,
Thank you for the answer to #1. I've now got it in the middle
of the screen.
I cannot for the life of me figure out why my controls are
not visible! I've tried Firefox and IE.
Somebody is going to know what's going on. Here's the quick
summary...
If you go to
http://www.Imagine1Group.com
you will see that there are no controls at the bottom for [SKIP
INTRO] or [SOUND]
However, if you go to
http://www.Imagine1Group.com/imagine1intro.swf
you will see the controls are clearly at the bottom of the flash.
Please, any ideas?

Problem with button on Flash intro page.

The Flash intro movie on my site index page ends with an
"enter" button which links to the home page. When people view the
movie on the web, the cursor has to be directly over individual
font characters for the link to work. If you move the cursor ever
so slightly off a piece of the white text the cursor changes back
to a black arrow and cannot be clicked.
How do I get the entire box area of the button to be a link
and not just the text characters?
http://www.kdiphoto.com/

keithdunlop.com;
Is this a button symbol? If so, the hit frame of a button is
never seen
in the swf, it's graphic content serves only to define the
active area of
the button. -Tom Unger

Flash intro newbie

I don't know if this belongs in flash or dreamweaver, so I'm
posting it in both places. I have a quicktime movie (originally a
motion movie) that I converted into flash video in hopes of using
it as an intro to a webpage created with dreamweaver. It works
fine, but I cannot figure out how to make it go away after the
movie is done and leave behind the contents of the page. My
original thought was to put it in a layer and make the layer with
the flash movie invisible once the movie was done playing, but that
didn't work. I then tried adding the behavior go to URL and using
the URL of the page without the flash movie, but that didn't work,
either. Is there any way top use a flash movie in dreamweaver and
then make it go away? Is there a simpler way to accomplish using a
flash movie as an intro? Thank you so much for your help.

I might be wrong, but I think you have to build that in to
the flash
file itself.
But don't forget to add a skip intro link on your home page
because I
think it's fair to say that a lot of internet users find
flash intros
annoying. It's just another thing standing in the way of
getting the
information they're looking for.
