Flash Slide Show Problem

Hi all,
I have searched everywhere for a solution, but can't find one. I am hoping someone can help. I am not an experienced user with Flash and decided to create a presentation. There is no interaction, just a movie with text and music. I started out by creating it as a presentation with slides instead of scenes and this seems to be the cause of my problem. I need to export it to a movie and can't do so because it only plays the first key in the first frame, though the file size shows it is all there.
Is there a way to convert a slide to a scene? Or do you have any suggestions for this working as I export it to a movie? Thanks eveyone.
Mike

Thanks Ned. When I say slide I mean instead of a scene. There is a presentation and then the slide under it. If I click on the presentation it has one key frame and I think that is what's playing when I try to import the swf into a video editing program or try to export to a quicktime movie. Its like it never plays the slide, just the presentation which has nothing but the one key frame. When I play just the swf it does fine, but I can't export it to a quicktime movie.
The design of the slide is just text, jpgs and music transitioning in and out.
My intention is to import a movie into youtube. For some reason a swf does not import very well. So that is why I wanted to convert the swf to a movie. Thanks again for your help.

Problem controlling Flash Slide Show

I would like to use a static image to control a flash slide
show; in which clicking the image would start the preloader and the
slide show at the same time. I have just inserted a flash slide
show which immediately preloads and starts the slide show when the
webpage is loaded. I have inserted a large play button image and
assigned the proper behavior attributes to try and control the
slide show without any success. Here is the webpage:

Please see the attached code for the slide show. Any help
would be greatly appreciated.

Dreamweaver website with flash slide showing showing graphics poorly

Hello,
I put this problem up in Dreamweaver and Flash and got some questions from couple people but no answer yet. Adobe tech support is only available mon though fri so thhey are not available, so I thought I would try here.
I have a flash slide show I built for a dreamweaver website that contains vecctor images that are losing quality when I run my domain site. I have tested the flash file in flash looks great. I have previewed in live view in dreamweaver graphics look smooth but when I load up my files to ftp to my host account and test from there the quality of the edges of the vectors is not smooth. I see lots of jagged edges and not sure why.
I test everything on my 24 inch monitor so the graphics are probably enlarged but even when I test the flash file in flash and the html file of my hard drive to a browser like firefox my graphics are smooth, so not sure if its resolution problem. also tested my website on my laptop which is a smaller screen 15 inch and the graphics look bad on the website from there too. Soi f it were a resolution problem I think the 15 inch screen would be showing the graphics smoothly not jagged. ?????
Does anyone have any ideas or could assist me with this problem? I
Johanna
http://johannabresnahan.com
please keep in mind when tested in flash, dreamweaver (live view and firefox browser from my hardrive html files the graphics all appear smooth and good quality. its when I transferred them by ftp to host server files and preview there and enter in my website url that the quality of the graphics and text in the graphics is jagged in many areas.
I spoke with the domain tech support too but did not get the answer but some thoughful input.

The key answer to this problem was to import the files in the original native form ai not jpeg for the
vector illustrations which kept the quality of the text that was converted
with create outlines tool in illustrator to make each character its own independent graphic
to be independently scalable to maintain its quality. Since most of the problems I was having were related to the text inside each artwork was rendered poorly in the finished slideshow on my live website url. The digital photography images were never a problem. The commentary and feedback in the dreamweaver forum helped me to figure out how to resolve the issues I was having.
I just thought I would post here in case anyone was wondering.

Flash Slide Show not Showing after Hosting Change

Hey guys!
I don't know if this question is for you or for the good folks at the Dreamweaver forum, but I thought I would try here first. I took over a website for a family member to help them update it from time to time (They were paying a company to do it). When I changed hosting from the companies hosting to my own personal GoDaddy hosting everything went right, except for 2 flash slide shows (Simple rotating images). They just apear as clear boxes now. You can see what I am talking about here: http://grangerfun.com/golf and here http://grangerfun.com/pizza . You will notice the empty large empty box on the right in both pages. When you right click on it the browser recognizes that it is flash. On the Piza site I tried taking out the original code and entering the flash object via Dreamweaver CS5, but that yeilded the same results (I only mention this because the code on that site will thus look a bit different). What am I missing here? If you need more info, please let me know! I apreaciate all of the help you guys have given me over the years! I hope to one day pay the favor back!

You need to look at the Flash source file (.fla) to see what goes on inside. If the files worked in the previous server, then whoever made the files should be able to determine where any supporting files need to be placed. If that turns out to be the company that's been dumped you might or might not get help in finding that out. The least you can try to do is to copy everything from the existing site into the same file/directory structure on the new server, which I would assume is what you have tried to do, so if it is possible to still check, see what else might be on the previous server that got missed.

Need Help Intergrating a Flash slide show

I'm fairly new with Dreamweaver and was doing fine with
building my site until I got to learning how to "Integrate a Flash
slide show". I purchased Adobes "Classroom in a Book" and it has
been an extreme help but once I got to that chapter of the book it
doesn't work when my site is published. I followed all the
instructions in the book and it looks good and works fine within my
site when I do a test but when I publish it to the web nothing
comes up, it is just a blank spot where the Slideshow is suppose to
be. This is how my code looks, please if anyone can help to see if
I'm doing something wrong:

Please help!!!
Thank you.

First of all, it shouldn't be inside the <noscript> tag
see
http://www.w3schools.com/tags/tag_noscript.asp
for an explanation.
Once you fix that, make sure you upload any dependent
files—i.e. slideshow.swf & any javascript files that may
have been generated by DW.
If it still doesn't work after you've taken those steps, then
post a URL to the page in question. It's virtually impossible for
anyone to help you when they can only see part of your code.

Embedding a flash slide show in a dreamweaver table

I want to embed (is that the right word?) a flash slide show
into a table in Dreamweaver CS3. I'm using Flash CS3. Can anybody
point me to a good template that would allow
a. Different categories of photos
b. Thumbnails
c. Descriptions of photos (this is a product gallery)
d. Sound would be cool.
Thanks.

Have you considered posting in the Dreamweaver forum? This is a transitional forum for users of GoLive. You do not appear to be converting a GoLive slide show to Dreamweaver.

Can I make a non-flash slide show using Fireworks, with JPEGs not GIFs?

Can I make a non-flash slide show using Fireworks, with JPEGs not GIFs?

Look to using jQuery instead of Flash. There are a variety of redy-made solutions available, just search Google or visit the Dreamweaver forum and ask there.

Creating a Flash Slide-Show

Hello Community,
Can somebody explain shortly how to create a Flash Slide-Show in a HTML Document? Let's say I have 5 images with logo and want that they change every 10 seconds. Do I need to work with JavaScript?
Regards,
MC

Your best bet will be to search Google using terms like "AS3 slideshow tutorial" (or use "AS2" if that's your preference).
A flash slideshow will not be likely to use javascript since Flash primarily uses actionscript.

Weather widget and slide show problems

Hi
The site is www.heritageharbourcommunity.com
My site opens on a three column fixed page with header and footer. I have been able to define the area between the nav bar and footer as editable. When I go to incontext and try to make that area editable through incontext it seems fine until I test it. I receive a message that the area is not editable and I can make regions editable through incontext. Only the right most column has a dashed line around it. From that I assume the problem is with the weather widget in column 1 and the slide show in column 2.
All of my other pages are single column and seem to work well with incontext. Any suggestions? Thanks...Morgan

Hello MoBet,
InContext Editing regions cannot contain Flash or JavaScript content, so you should wrap the sections you want to have editable with div tags to separate them from this content. For example:
<div id="sidebar1">
    <div id="mysidebar1-1">

Flash Slide Show Presentation Question

I have created a slide show presentation in Flash format. On
some of my slides, I have animations that run when the slide first
loads. However, as I do not want the animation to continue looping
preventing the viewer from reading the slide, I used actionscript
to place a stop action at the end of the slide animation.
The problem is that if the user uses the previous button in
the slide show to return to the slide the animation does not run.
It will only run again if the entire slide show is restarted. Is
there a simple way to fix this?
Thanks

The steps are fairly simple. I create a listener ,a loader
and an empty movie clip to load the images into. I write a
listener_mc.onLoadInit function then I use the loader_mc.loadClip
to load the images into the empty movieclip. When the loading is
complete the onLoadInit function gets called and you can resize and
center your images.

Self-running Flash Slide Show

I don't do flash on web sites normally, but I have one
customer who needs a self-running slide show similar to the one
shown here.
TechDefenders.com I have no
idea what tool made it. When I search, I find hundreds out there
from $50 to $299. Again, I'm not a flash author, and may never be
one, but I do need to change pictures from time to time and use it
on this one site. Any ideas of what products can accomplish this or
even if it's not flash but can do things like this, that's OK too.
Thanks!

I went with JavaScript for the following reasons.
1. I found one that does exactly what I need with translucent
fore and back arrows, thumbnails, nice transition, and variable
speed.(Jon's Moo tools based Smooth Gallery)
2. I simply need to copy in new pictures to update it.. I can
copy it from project to project without recompiling anything.
3. I don't need to learn or buy another tool. There is no
virtue in complexity.
4. Smaller footprint
5. It doesn't require a Flash plug-in.
6 It cures an unrelated CSS problem with old browsers.

Flash Slide Show

I am using Flash MX and following the instruction for
creating a slide show it tells me to add a layer and name it then
click on 1st blank frame and import photos. It then tells me to
locate the photo sequence select the 1st photo click add and it
will ask me to import and the photos will be imported. Problem I
can find nothing that lets me ADD. Anyone out there familiar with
Flash MX that can help me out here.

Hi,
Looks like you removed the link; I couldn't find it.
I'm a flash dev, and could take a quick look (if you haven't
already fixed the problem).
Some helpful info would be:
Your OS (os x, windows)
Your flash player version (you can find this by
right-clicking on any flash content and selecting "About Adobe
Flash Player" etc.

PSE 7 Slide Show problems

I have used Photoshop 7 on my computer running vista very successfully but a problem has now arisen. When I use slide show to show some of my selections the pictures are pixelated. This does not apply to all selections. I note that the pixelated pictures are c 400% but the ones that are ok are 40%. If I do not allow the pictures to resize in slide show thet are only small. Any help would be appreciated. This has only happened recently and I cant remember if I have had an adobe downloaded update which might have affected this.

Hi Bob
Thanks for coming back to me so quick, I will try & explain the problem in
more detail.
I have all of the photos in My Catalogue tagged ie 2009 Holiday, Mothers
Birthday etc so that by selecting the tag and then display in full screen I
can show them in a slide show to friends & family. This has always worked
well until last week when I called up a slide show of a past holiday the
pictures were very pixelated. All photos are not affected. Some holidays I
select in slide show are ok. If I look at individual pictures in my
catalogue most are ok but many are pixelated. Any pictures that have not
been adjusted in PSE 7 are ok.
Any picture viewed in full screen in slide show has in the top left pop up
menu a % of less than 100%, typically 35 - 75%. Any of the pixelated
pictures have a % 350 - 450%.
I originally had Elements 2 but upgraded to PSE 7 when I changed to Vista
because of album problems, apart from problems converting my catalogue
originally all has worked very well. Apart from the recent update the only
other thing which I have done is to start a back up which I aborted because
it was taking a long time to do. I have 4,600 photos in my catalogue and the
problem slide shows are random throughout but appear to be trouble free up
to about the end of 2004. ie a holiday slide show before then seems to be
ok. The latest photos put into the catalogue this month, post upgrade & post
attempted back up are ok. I have also found that if I expand a photo that
has been modified in PSE 7 although the modified picture is pixelated the
original displays ok. I hope that this more fully explains my problem but if
you require more information please let me know. I really do appreciate you
looking at this for me. It is very frustrating when something that was
working perfectly for me then goes **** up!
Regards
David

Imported Slide Show Problems

I imported a slide from Photoshop Elements 7.0 into Premiere Elements 7.0. I did get an error that .jpg files could not be imported into Premiere. Some .jpgs showed and some did not. Any suggestion?
Also, text titles I added in Photoshop are very blurry in Premiere. Can someone help me understand why and how to correct?
Thanks,
Gary

Steve,
I did a batch processing of over 2000 jpgs in 7 slide shows to 1000x750 and this seemed to work better.
I am still having text problems. The titles applied to each jpg in the slide shows are clear in Photoshop Elements 7 but are blurry but readable when imported into Premiere Elements 7.
Further, I have blank slides that are black background with white text in each slide show. These are clear in Photoshop but blurry but readable when imported into Premiere Elements 7.
I took a suggestion and imported a slide show into PE7 and then exported it to a DV AVI file. When I brought it back up and viewed it, the text titles on the jpgs and the white text on the black slides were still blurry but readable. I viewed the AVI in two separate programs, the pictures look OK but the text is not crisp and clear.
Any help would be greatly appreciated.
Gary
