Flash Website Question

Hi all,
I am a newbie in Flash 8 Pro...Created a website but it
somehow appeared
on the left side in every browser. Is there any way that I
can make it to the
center/middle of a web browser?
And is there a way that I can make my website fit 100%
entirely in browsers.
Please...I really need help on these a.s.a.p...Thanks in
advance.

well, welcome to flash - but also, try searching before
asking - how to make your flash site 100% is
in the help docs and been asked in the forum for almost a
decade.
basically, go to File > Publish Settings > HTML tab and
set Dimensions to "percent" and type in 100
in the width and height fields.
To align it in the HTML - most use a little html code to
place the movie in a table that is aligned
middle.

Advice on how to keep Flash website small & fast

Hi, I'm developing my first Flash website (I know, I know, there are plenty of reasons to use other development products, but for now it will be Flash), and I envision a site with several pages and needing to load some large graphics. I'm doing the main design work in Illustrator and importing it into Flash. I'm not too concerned with animation except perhaps moving some buttons around. My plan so far is to use a lot of UI loaders to keep the main .swf small and to really try to keep the coding pretty simple as I'm a newbie anyway. I'm looking for general advice on how to prevent the main site from loading quickly - for example, I don't have a good sense of the best format to use for graphics, or which makes the site slower: using several UI loaders or just keeping the content in the main site? Is a lot of code or large graphics more draining on the load time? Any thoughts on what you think I can do or not do to keep it lean would be super appreciated, or any other resources you might be able to point me to.
Thanks in advance!

Nah... really really stupid questions only get asked in non-Flash forums. The size of the swf is not tied tot the size of the fla. The fla has alot more baggage that inflates its size greatly compared to the swf it creates. The swf will end up bearing the weight of whatever content you put in it.
If you want to see what's adding weight to your swf, go into your Flash Publish Settings and select the option to Generate Size Report. When you publish the file it will display a detailed report of each element and the weight it contributes to the swf.
As far as dynamically loading swf's, it is often a necessity, unless the swf is strictly an animation. If you import an swf into an fla file, all of the actionscript that might have been in it is stripped out.
Code will have negligible weight in a file. Images (large/heavy ones) can put lead shoes on a file, along with video and sound files.

Alternative ways to load Flash website

Hello, I have created a fully Flash website and as I continue
to add images to my swf file obviously it is taking longer to load
the site. I think I have created a pretty slick and straight
forward preloader, but as I continue to add images to my site it
will force the user(s) to wait longer and longer for the entire
site to load. Where I live and work I have a very fast connection
speed (20 MB/s +) so my site loads very quickly, but when visiting
a friends place my site seemed to take forever. Instead of creating
a low bandwidth version I want to keep what I have.
My main question- Is there a way I could load the entire site
up front to a certain point (say 25%) and allow the user to begin
to navigate through the site and anything that hasn’t
finished loading yet will just continue to load dynamically (or on
demand once the user selects a certain image). The user could see
the progress of items loading as they navigate around.
My website is:
www.abromphoto.com. I run a
photography business and am a beginner with Flash, but understand
web technology. My portfolio section of the site is about 90% of my
content. I would love for images to load dynamically as the user
begins to view images that have already loaded. Or, possibly
display all thumbnails for my images and then load the particular
image on demand once the thumbnail is clicked (so if they go back
to that image, it is already loaded). I honestly don’t know
how to search for this kind of thing.
Any help would be greatly appreciated!

There are a variety of options that you can use/combine to
make things seem more streamlined. Preloading is always a good
thing when you have a sizeable site. As far as quitting at a
certain percentile, it can be a gamble. The on-demand route would
be a good approach where it's practical... but if you end up
on-demanding everything, it can be disruptive to the user's viewing
pleasure. You could also consider making separate swf's for
different sections and loading them as needed, possibly with some
lightwieght loading-time eye candy that makes it seem like more of
a transition than a waiting period. For image groups, you might be
able to incorporate a gradual one-by-one loading where each image
transitions into view after it loads, giving the impression of
being an intended gradual display.

Start to build my first flash website

I've learned actionscript form resources like video and
books. i read some serious tutorials and did many practices and
small projects. I'm trying to build my first flash website. do i
need to learn Flex? or anything else? do i need to study some other
courses? My problem is where to start. what's a structure of a
professional and serious full flash website? links? components (if
any)? and ... yes i've worked on small swf files. creating
actionscript effects, building some easy components before but i'm
sure they are not enough. and one more thing! is there any good
practical (and specially free!) tutorials based on this concept?
(i've already reviewed actionscript.org and kirupa.com, thx!)

Your first question: subjective to your skillset. http://Zen-Cart.com has their own tutorials/FAQ/Forum that has plenty of information on the subject. Make your determination from the information they provide. It's free... download it and try it yourself to find out, perhaps?
Second question: you would not build additional product pages. There's only one product page that is populated with data from, wait for it... you guessed it, a database. If you're unfamiliar with working with database data then familiarize yourself with it if you wish to work on dynamic shopping carts.
I recommend http://Cartweaver.com if you want to work in Dreamweaver on the design and coding of the cart. It is very easy to implement your design into a cartweaver shopping cart.

Enable full sreen For API youtube into flash website

Hie,
simple question ,it is possible to have the fullscreen button on the youtube players when the API is load into a flash website ?
I read this
fs
Values: 0 or 1. Default is 0. Setting to 1 enables the fullscreen button. This has no effect on the Chromeless Player. Note that you must include some extra arguments to your embed code for this to work. The bolded parts of the below example enable fullscreen functionality:<object width="425" height="344">
<param name="movie" value="http://www.youtube.com/v/u1zgFlCw8Aw?fs=1"</param>
<param name="allowFullScreen" value="true"></param>
<param name="allowScriptAccess" value="always"></param>
<embed src="http://www.youtube.com/v/u1zgFlCw8Aw?fs=1"
type="application/x-shockwave-flash"
allowfullscreen="true"
allowscriptaccess="always"
width="425" height="344">
</embed>
</object>
I see many http website having the expand in full screen button but I can't find API youtube into Full flash players web site

NEWBIE - Best Practices for FLash Website Development

I've decided to try and build my own flash website, so to help me learn the basics I downloaded the following sample Dynamic Flash Template: http://info.template-help.com/pre-sale_questions/about_web_design_templates/article25.html.
I've been playing around with it a little bit, and feel like I definitely know a lot more than I did previously, but also feel like I may learning the most efficient and effective methods.
Basically, my questions are what's the best software / methods to do the following, as it relates to the template described above.
1) I want the site able to be viewed by people who have flash enabled and those who don't. I'd like for the default website to be flash oriented, but of the browser doesn't support flash or if there are no flash plug-ins installed, I want the HTML version of the site to display. What the best way to make this happen?
2) If I use the dynamic text option for the flash site, all text is pulled from the tfile_main.html file. Is this the best way to embed dynamic text into my flash file? Is it the most efficient way or should the dynamic text be embedded from the HTML pages of the Non-Flash site?
3) Is it possible to have the flash and non-flash versions overlay each other, where if flash is supported, the flash content is displayed, but if flash is not supported, only the non-flash versions are displayed?
4) What the best way of optimizing a site of this nature for search engines? If I were to upload only the flash version of the site, embedded in the index.html file, I think that the search engines would interpret my whole site as simply being one page, which I do not want. I want them to recognize each distinct page.
5) Should I use Static or Dynamic text? Should I insert any outgoing links with the flash file itself, or within the html files?
6) I've read alot about SWFObject2.x and it seems like it would help me do a lot of the things I'm wanting to do, but I have no idea how to use it. I downloaded the .zip file, but have no clue what to do with it from there.
7) I have Flash CS3, but also currently have a free trial of the Adobe Creative Suite Premium CS5, so I have FLash CS5, Dreamweaver CS5, etc. Should I use Flash CS3 or CS5?
8) How should I set-up my Publish Settings in FLash?
Sorry for such a long message and requesting so much info. If you can only help out or provide guidance on 1 of the above questions it would be very beneficial to me and greatly appreciated.
Thanks in advance for everyone's help and let me know if you need additional information.

No one is going to answer 8 questions, I certainly can't be bothered.
Cut them down in to different threads, in the relavent Adobe forum
But:
Use CS5.
You can use JS to determine if they have flash and show a style sheet/site accordingly, google it.
You can optimise flash sites too

Your thoughts on problems with flash websites on mac....

Hi there,
A client has asked me to put together some information on mac vs. pc and browser differences or problems someone might find on a flash site. I had originally thought flash was supposed to behave the same no matter what platform or browser, but apparently this is not the case?
Anyhow, I am looking for your thoughts and experiences on this topic. Anything relevant would be very helpful.
They did have a specific question they are also looking to answer as well-
How to find the flash token and deleting for a Mac for registering a computer?
and similarly ... Where to find the flash object on the operating system?
Just looking at comments regarding flash websites here, not flash software
Thanks so much for your help and advice!

All sorted, did not realise that the internet plug ins check box had been unchecked some how.

Who makes the nicest, easiest to use Flash website design software?

Please forgive the beginner's question. I would like to build
a flash site like
http://www.hockaday.org from an
easy to use Flash template. You get what you pay for so my first
choice isn't something for free but a 30-day free trial version
would be nice.
What I like best about
http://www.hockaday.org is the
great menus and that pictures continually reload in interesting
ways.
Maybe a template is too restrictive. Who makes the nicest,
easiest to use Flash website design software that allows fast
creation of those fancy menus and with other fast features to do
nice things with pictures and motion?
I need to create a site like
http://www.hockaday.org
immediately so I don't have the time to learn Flash first. What's
my best bet?

you are in a catch 22 - you don't have time to learn flash -
yet you need to build an entire site
immediately - you can't - sure you can download a template
that is similar but if this forum is any
proof, you almost need more flash knowledge trying to
decipher most templates in order to edit them
- search this forum, there are several posts per week from
non-flash users who purchased templates
and have no clue how to edit them. Often times it is hard for
an educated flash user to
reverse-engineer a FLA made by somebody else - Flash
documents are blank canvases that can be setup
a myriad ways by different users making the same thing - some
developers are more organized than
others - most templates are not organized but rather thrown
together for a quick profit.
You will simply need to learn enough flash to understand how
it works or hire somebody to edit the
template for you.
hope this helps.

Preview image for videos on flash website. Help!

Hi, I'm not sure if I'm at that right place so sorry if I'm wasting your time by asking this question but I'm having problems with my flash website.
I want the video on my website to show a preview image before the video is played instead of it displaying a blank black frame. I went on component inspector - preview - and selected the frame of the animation that I wanted to be shown. But when I came to uploading my swf and html file the preview image for the video is still black. On component inspector - preview - it says 'To generate a runtime preview image, use the export button and load the image back by writing your own actionscript'. So I exported the image but I haven't got a clue how to write my own actionscript. I've spent hours trying to find help on this but I haven't been successful.
Do you know how I can sort this out? Thank you

Flash website- problems with sizing on different computers- code to resize based on browser/screen resolution

Ok Guys-
So I have put up a trial of my flash website-
www.nicksdesign.com/flash
I'm new at flash- as this is the first project I've done in
flash, and the problem is...
I put the file in a simple HTML file in dreamweaver, and i
published the files, tested them on my computer, and it's great-
the size fits enough so that no scrolling is needed.
However-
I asked a friend to test it- and on his computer you are
required to scroll both vertically and horizontally in order to see
all the content on the 100% flash website.
My question-
Are there any codes that can resize the swf file or the HTML,
based on screen resolution/browser [however- we tested in the same
browser]
Any help would be SUPER appreciated
Best Regards,
Nick Smith

I took a look at your html source code, I notice that your
size of width sets at 1270 while height sets at 537. The width is
way too wide.
Secondly, flash-based website aren't that cool.
Finally, you probably get a better help from Flash forum
participants. This forum is all about Dreamweaver-related topics,
and is not about how to create or design Flash for the first time.
Hope that helps and good luck with your project.
Cheers, Brian

How do I create a full 100% flash website with no html coding???

Hi i really need some help. I am very very curious of how
some of the websites are being created 100% in flash. No matter
where I view it, no matter whether the window is maximum 100%, it
will be showing a very dynamic flash site.For example, the former
macromedia official site.
I have lost some of the cool examples i have seen. Here is a
similar site but it is not 100% flash site.
http://www.fordvehicles.com/?referrer=http%3A%2F%2FWWW%2EFord%2Ecom

my site (www.mudbubble.com) does what i think you are
asking....
Basically I use this code in 1st frame of movie:
Stage.scaleMode = "noScale";
Stage.align = "TM";
Then in publish settings i set the width and height to 100%.
This forces the swf to scale to
whatever browser size yet the code on frame 1 does not allow
the stage contents to scale.

Flash guestbook question

First off, I am using all CS3 software (Flash, Dreamweaver,
etc) and PHP 5 and MySQL 5.
Now I have a website that works as i want it to so far (it is
in flash)
I also have a Flash guestbook that uses PHP and MySQL and it
works fine independently.
I want to be able to put the guestbook swf inside of a box on
the flash website so that when the user clicks a link it opens the
guestbook inside the website. . Can anyone tell me how to do this.
I tried a a simple link button with an actionscript which I
included. It is funny, because it acts like the guestbook is
loading, but not playing.
Now, I don;t know if it makes a difference, but I noticed
that n each one of my swf files for the website, there is a
'loader' layer, but in the guestbook there is no 'loader' layer.
