Flash tutorial library

I downloaded the documentation for flash 8 and I am going
through the tutorial.
I am going through the Flash Tutorial.
But under add graphics to the stage, I am suppossed to drag
the "movie clip" to the stage from the library. My library is
empty, not quite, there is "my circle" that I created under create
documents, instructed just before add graphics.
When I navigate through windows to the tutorial samples,
there are images and movie clips.
How do I use these images/clips in my tutorial. I am using
file new documents and this gives me empty library.
Open an existing one in the tutorial, the library displays
images and clips
Pls help
Thank you

What is the best Flash Tutorial?

I am looking for the best beginning flash tutorial. Any suggestions?
Regards, Tom Ashworth

Hello Tom,
I find the tutorials at designprovideo.com simply fantastic! It's like having someone there with you, walking you through the software. I started with Photoshop and have since moved on to the beginner tutorial for Flash CS4 101:
http://designprovideo.com/tutorial/flashcs4101
I was finding Flash very intimidating. Now I am feeling more comfortable with the basics after watching the first 50 videos. I especially appreciate the way the training is organized into bite sized chunks and the trainers do not assume knowledge like in other tutorials I have seen.

My Macbook Pro 2014 ran out of battery while mid-slideshow. Now the slideshow won't skip through photos and I can't figure out why? Macbook Pro 2014 13-inch Intel i5 8GB RAM 128GB flash, iPhoto library is on external HDD

Macbook Pro 2014
13-inch
Intel i5
8GB RAM
128GB flash SSD,
Integrated Graphics
iPhoto library is on external HDD
I was in a slideshow, with around 1,911 photos in it. About halfway through, my Macbook ran out of battery. Now when I restarted and charged the Macbook and reopened iPhoto, the slideshow won't advance through photos, and I can't figure out any reason why it would do this.
I thought it may be corrupted, so I deleted and reinstalled iPhoto library, iPhoto itself, and disconnected and reconnected my external HDD.
This didn't work, the photos still won't advance.
I don't know any reason why this would be happening, and there is ample space on my internal drive.
I'm happy to provide more information if needed!
Many Thanks,
James

Make a few tests, James, to narrow down the problem and find out, if the slideshow is corrupted, your iPhoto Library, or settings in your account.
To test, if only your slideshow has a problem, create a new slideshow, just for testing. Just use "File > New Slideshow" and add a few photos. Does this slideshow play correctly?
If the test slideshow does not play either, create a new iPhoto Library. Use the File menu in iPhoto: File > Switch to library > Create New. Import a few photos and create a slideshow. Does it play?
If even a new library does not solve the problem, test in a different user account (see this document: Isolating an issue by using another user account - Apple Support):
This process involves creating a new user account, logging in to it, and testing for the issue.
Create a new standard or admin user account in Users & Groups preferences.
Use these instructions for OS X Mavericks.
See these instructions for OS X Mountain Lion.
See this video, or these instructions for OS X Lion.
Optional: If you have any specific files you wish to test with, copy (don't move) those items to the /Users/Shared folder in the Finder.
Log out of your current user account by choosing Log Out from the Apple () menu.
Log in with the new account you created.
Attempt to reproduce the issue you were seeing in your regular user account.
After you have completed testing, log out of the test account by choosing Log Out from the Apple () menu.
Log in as your regular account.
After you have completed all testing with the test user account, you may want to delete it. You can delete an account in the Users & Groups pane of System Preferences.
Note: Prior to deleting a test account, make sure you are completely done with it. If you have files in the Guest User you wish to keep, you should copy them to the /Users/Shared folder .
If you should find, that slideshows only play in a new user account, post back.

Exporting to Flash, missing library item?

I am using Flash 8 (also tried CS3, but flash 8 seems to
import Captivate much better) and Captivate 3.
I want to create a project following the steps outlined in
this adobe article.
http://www.adobe.com/devnet/captivate/articles/cpvideo_03.html
(this is the link to page 3 where the steps to exporting to flash
are outlined)
I am unable to because an item the author says should be in
the Flash library is missing. From the article:
quote:
1. Import the Macromedia Captivate project file using the
Import to Library option. Be sure to deselect the audio import
option (remember, the audio portion is in the FLV file) and any
other Macromedia Captivate feature that you did not use in your
demo.
2. Upon import, open up the Library panel and locate the
Macromedia Captivate content. It will have the same name as the
original Macromedia Captivate project file but with a CPT
extension.
3. Drag it to the Stage and name the instance captivate_mc.
If you omit this step, the resync code will not work.
But I am not seeing any "captivate content file".
Anyone have any thought/suggestions?

Well I guess captivate 3 must export slightly different than
Captivate 2. I had to basically manually create the movie clip the
article talks about. When you export from cap3 to flash it puts
everything on the scene 1 timeline. So I copied ALL the frames
& layers, created a new movie clip and put it all into that new
movie clip symbol. Just kind of a pain to have to do it manually,
but not a big deal.

How do I copy objects from a flash shared library?

I'm a total beginner at Flash and I've been given the task of creating a new version of a flash component we use in house. The current version uses a shared library of objects in a separate .swf file.
One of my tasks is to copy the items from the shared library into this new version so only the one .swf file is needed for everything to work. I've figured out how to unlink items in the new version from the shared library but that doesn't seem to copy them into the new version. can someone tell me how to do the copying bit please? I'm using Flash CS3.

Drag it to the computer’s internal drive and then to the library in the open iTunes application window.

Flash CS4 Library Question

Hello,
Is there a way to know how many times a library item is being used in your Flash file?
Thanks!
Erin S.

You see a dash in the use counts column if Flash hasn't checked the number. To remedy this, use the "Update Use Counts Now" option in the panel menu.
If you want to tidy things up, and get rid of anything not used, there is an option in the panel menu to "Select Unused Items" which will select all items that have a Use Count of 0. From there it is a simple measure of deleting them. Be careful with this, though. This will select items that are not on the stage, or used in a symbol that is on the stage. But, if you have items that are added with code at runtime, this will still select those. So, careful not to accidentally delete an object that you are manipulating with code. This will not typically select an image that you are using in a symbol.

New to Flash -- tutorial help pls!

Hi:
Working with the Flash Developer Center tutorial http://www.adobe.com/devnet/flash/articles/atv_flcs4_demos.html
I have Flash CS3 professional, and downloaded a couple of the zip sample files, fla. However, an error message says "Unexpected File Format" when I try to open.
Is it a CS3 vs CS4 issue? If so, is there a way to convert these to CS3? I assumed fla is fla...
Or is it something else? Helluva way to get started! Thanks for your help!
Rgds, Ned

Not a problem at all. You should be able to install the trial of CS4 and work with those tutorials. As skyblue said, once you open those tutorials, you can then use saveAs... to save them as CS3 files. Keep in mind that you won't be able to use the features of CS4 from one of those saved files.

Flash tutorial help, please?

Hello! Let me start by saying that I am very familiar (not a
pro by any means) with Flash (I own CS4 pro) and I just completed
the Flex 3 video series here on adobe.com. I am a pro with
XML/PHP/HTML/Etc... But what I am asking is this! I want to be able
to build a complete site like this:
http://s3.envato.com/files/88829/index.html#/home
I know that this site was designed using the GAIA platform
but I would like to build a full site like this from scratch. I
have read tons of books but am at a complete loss of where to
start.
PLEASE! For the love of Crom!!! Could someone please point me
in the right direction. Is there a site ANYWHERE!!! (or even a
really good book!) That explains the full development process, just
one good tutorial could set me in the right direction!
Thank you all every much!
Sincerely yours, in mental illness...

Flash tutorial gone wrong..

Hello
I am trying to create a custom scrollbar for a website... I watched the tutorial>http://www.entheosweb.com/Flash/video_tutorials/custom_scroller.asp
on how to create one. I have the scrollbar working but it won't attach to the text!
Here is the actionscript:
var scrollUpper:Number = 338.2;
var scrollLower:Number = 498.2;
var textLower:Number = 337.0;
var textUpper:Number = 514;
var scrollRange:Number = scrollLower - scrollUpper;
var textRange:Number = textLower - textUpper;
function scroll () {
    var moved:Number = scroller_mc._y - scrollUpper;
    var pctMover:Number = moved/scrollRange;
    var textMove:Number = pctMoved*textRange;
    text_mc_y = textLower - textMove;
scroller_mc.onPress = function () {
    this.startDrag (false,this._x,scrollUpper,this._x,scrollLower);
    this.onMouseMove = scroll;
scroller_mc.onRelease = scroller_mc.onReleaseOutside = function() {
    this.stopDrag ();
    this.onMouseMove = null;
I have the text in a mc called text_mc and the scrollbar in scroll_mc. There is a mask over the text.
Thank you for your time!
Virginia

you have a 2nd typo:
var scrollUpper:Number = 338.2;
var scrollLower:Number = 498.2;
var textLower:Number = 337.0;
var textUpper:Number = 514;
var scrollRange:Number = scrollLower - scrollUpper;
var textRange:Number = textLower - textUpper;
function scroll () {
    var moved:Number = scroller_mc._y - scrollUpper;
    var pctMoved:Number = moved/scrollRange;
    var textMove:Number = pctMoved*textRange;
    text_mc._y = textLower - textMove;
scroller_mc.onPress = function () {
    this.startDrag (false,this._x,scrollUpper,this._x,scrollLower);
    this.onMouseMove = scroll;
scroller_mc.onRelease = scroller_mc.onReleaseOutside = function() {
    this.stopDrag ();
    this.onMouseMove = null;
Any ideas? Thank you so much for your help!

Flash tutorial

if yaw know any good sites or things/tutorials were i can
learn flash at, could yaw give me a link to it pleas?

The Help Files that come with Flash, particularly the section
titled "Getting Started with Flash," are a good place to start. If
you prefer more formal training, check links here:
http://www.adobe.com/training/
A good old fashion Google search on the terms "flash" and
"tutorial" will yield a plethora of links. Or a visit to your local
mega-bookstore will also give you more than you can choose from.
Good luck!

Flash duplicating library items on save - urgent help!

Hi All,
I am very new to flash and wasn't sure if this was normal function or not (whichever way its very frustrating!)
I am using Windows vista 64 bit and Flash CS5
I am creating a flash animation for a web banner for work that is very simple, first layer some text moves across, next 3 layers a single image appears and disappears etc...
However every now and then when I save the file, it saves then when I look at my library items instead of have a couple of png's and their respective symbols (all named appropriately) there is like more then double - usually a whol bunch of images with no name - but duplicates of the images already there and abunch of symbols that area lso duplicates my originals but all named things like "symbol 13" etc..
I decided to start saving as a new file each time - and each time the file gets bigger - went from 444kb to 13.8mb last check!and each time I delete the addition library items and each time I save there are more again, last time i went from 17 items to 69, the time before that i Had about 14 items and it went up to 43 on save.
I was supposed to have this flash finished by tomorrow but a 15 odd mb file is no good to use on the company website!
Please help!!
Many thanks all
Jess

Hi Kglad,
I tried what you said but nothing actually changed in terms of full screen.
The 3rd video now plays, yet if I try full screening video 1 and 2 they just show video 3, even if video 3 isn't playing.
Plus, the sound for video 3 still doesn't play.
I tried different settings in the HTML and flash tab, changing dimensions, changing mono to stero and putting the sound at 48khz etc, nothing though.

and followed the tutorial to the letter.
Many thanks

Flash has been used for broadcast animation. Check out this
book by Sandro Corsaro. It explains everything that is needed to
produce Flash for broadcast.
