Flash Websites - content panel

Hi There
I am new to flash and am looking for a tutorial which will help me create a specific end product. I am trying to make a flash website (which i have the designs for) which will have links down the right hand side, but when the link is clicked a content panel apears in the middle of the screen with the correct text in it and maybe a link to download a PDF, there will be a few links down the right hand of the screen and therefore different content for each link. the site will only consit of 1 page and the only thing which will change is this content panel which is centralised.
Any help would be very appreciated.
Thanks

I don't know of any specific tutorials for what you want to build, but it sounds like you should be able to create each section as a movieclip and use the buttons to make the current section invisible and the called section visible. What you might try doing to get started is to use Google and search for code related to whatever version of actionscript you'll be using in terms of making buttons work.

How to make adobe flash player content on websites run on safari browser of my ipad?

How to make adobe flash player content on websites run on safari browser of my ipad?do I have to install adobe flash player on my ipad ?

The flash add-on is not available for Safari on iOS. Never has been and in fact Adobe has ceased support for flash for mobile devices in general. Your options, depending on the specific sites:
See if the site or sites in question have their own apps availabel in teh app store
Look into some browsers such as Puffin adn iSwifter (there are others, I beleive). These browsers use a third server site to translate the flsh content into a form that the iPAd can use and restreams them to you. They may not work with all content.
Use a computer capable of running flash.
Seek a source of the conent that is designed for non flash use.

SCORM (flash Player Content) not working on Windows Server 2012 R2 which has IE11 integrated installed on it.

Hi Everyone,
I have website which contains SCORM package, installed on Windows Server 2012 R2 which has IE11 installed on it.
Flash Player is also embedded with IE.
IE Version: 11.0.9600.17278.
Updated Version: 11.0.12 (KB2977629)
When I launch SCORM (flash Player Content) from my application, it is not working. It just displays a blank page however the Title of IE is set to the text from the SCORM content.
However if I access the same URL from any other machine which has previous version of Windows OS (i.e. previous to Windows 8 OS), it is working as expected on IE9, IE10 and IE11.
While trying to find out the cause, I came across some forum which says we have to install the “Desktop Experience” on the server to enable the inbuilt flash player. After doing that also, My SCORM contents are not getting displayed.
To find out more details, I have uploaded the SCORM Package on SCORM Cloud to check if it is working there. Here again the same problem, it doesn’t work and displays
error message saying that “Member is not found” and when I tried to find out the location of the error then it is coming at
Windows.document.myFlash.setVariable(…) method on the Windows Server 2012 R2 with IE11.
When I performed “Addwatch”, it is saying that Windows.document.myFlash doesn’t have setVariable(…) method.
However if access the same cloud URL from other machine (Having OS previous to Windows 8 OS), it is working as expected.
I have attached the screenshot of the error.
Any help would be appreciated.
Thanks

Hello,
I'd ask the SCORM package provider or in Microsoft's ASP.Net forums:

As Microsoft's ASP.Net forums are on a different platform, we cannot move the question for you.

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.

Since moving to Aurora 23, I've lost my image management controls in the Options' Content panel, what can I do to get them back?

I have no more image options in my Content panel.
I have to open an about:config window to turn images on or off. But that's the only blunt instrument I have. I cannot specifically allow certain websites' images and block others.
This has happened since upgrading to Aurora 23.

Integrate Flash banner in Flash website?

I'm building a portfolio website for my design work. The whole website is Flash based.
I have a Flash banner that I would like to add to the website but I can't seem to place it on stage.
Is there a way to stream the banner? If I do that, how do I place it's location on stage?
Thanks!

Assuming that you are making the Flash website, just use a loader to load the .swf file and add it to the stage, like you would an image:
pseudo code (meaning that im just typing from memory, so it should work but might have an error)
var myLoader = new Loader();
var myBannerUrl = ("bannerFolder/banner.swf"); //full url OR path relative to the file loading it.
myLoader.contentLoaderInfo.addEventListener(Event.COMPLETE, addMyBannerToStage);
//to be thorough, an error listener and posibly a progress listener would be useful
myLoader.load(new URLRequest(myBannerUrl));
function addMyBannerToStage(event:Event):void{
     myLoader.contentLoaderInfo.removeEventListener(Event.COMPLETE, addMyBannerToStage);
     var myBanner = myLoader.content as MovieClip; //if you want to access its functions/vars etc like any movieclip
     myBanner.x = 0; // x position
     myBanner.y = 0; // y position
    addChild(myBanner);

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

Flash Player content not loading IE11...

Hi I'm having issues with Flash Player on IE 11...
OS:                    Windows 7 Professional SP1.
Browser:             IE 11 (Version: 11.0.9600.17041 / Update version: KB2929437)
Flash Player:      ActiveX Version 16.0.0.235
                         NPAPI Plug-in Version 16.0.0.235
                         PPAPI Plug-in Version Not installed
Website:            http://www.nick.co.uk    (as well as others but this one is one of the important sites; as reward for students at the school)
I have disabled ActiveX filtering, I have made sure that Shockwave Flash Object is enabled; I have made sure that ActiveX is allowed on all sites... As far as I can tell I have ticked/un-ticked all the right boxes and still IE11 will not load any Flash Player content.
The quick fix would be to use Firefox or Google Chrome or any other web browser; however the students at the school I work at have severe and profound learning, behavioural, and/or physical difficulties that mean I do not want to interfere with the established method of accessing the internet, and software that they are familiar with.
Any advice or guidance would be greatly appreciated.

First, confirm that ActiveX Filtering is configured to allow Flash content:
https://forums.adobe.com/thread/867968
Internet Explorer 11 introduces a number of changes both to how the browser identifies itself to remote web servers, and to how it processes JavaScript intended to target behaviors specific to Internet Explorer. Unfortunately, this means that content on some sites will be broken until the content provider changes their site to conform to the new development approach required by modern versions of IE.
You can try to work around these issues by using Compatibility View:
http://windows.microsoft.com/en-us/internet-explorer/use-compatibility-view#ie=ie-11
If that is too inconvenient, using Google Chrome may be a preferable alternative.

Viewing flash web content on N97

I've just got myself the new N97 (love it, btw). The web browsing is far better than what it was on the N95. (personal opinion). The only problem: I can't view flash web content. I can find the Flash player, but I'm talking about embedded flash videos on websites. For example: Visit www.family-secrets.net, my own website. I'm using an embedded flash player to play videos. I can't view these on my phone. I was under the impression that the N97 did come with the ability to play flash web content. Was I wrong? Or am I missing something here?
Thanks,

You need to use airplay or mirror. What mac or device do you want to stream from?

Making a "Flash" Website....confused

i admit im a complete amateur when it comes to building
websites. I went on template monster.com and saw a template that I
loved. I bought it and began using flash to edit it. Im ok
experienced in Flash but abd at actionscript. Anyway Im still in
the building phase of my website when I start thinking to my self,
How am I going to be able to let users register as members to my
website?
I go online and learn that im going to need a content
managment system which my webhost aready gave me. I also know that
when im done editing my Flash website I need to Publish it in HTML.
Heres where I get lost, after I publish the HTML in Flash and say I
open it up in Dreamweaver.....I cant do nothing to edit it in
dreamweaver its just an SWF File.
What if anything do I need to do to let open source software
work with my Flash website?

Hi,
If you are going to do your site with Flash, then I do not
think it is possible to use Opensource with it, because Open Source
CMSs is actually work on a template structure that is turn your
HTML code to PHP and embed in it PHP codes that call external
functions (Modules). If you like to use PHP with Flash, you will
need to do it manually without relay on an Open source CMS.
Hope this helps

Installing Flash Player content debugger in Windows 8

Hello,
I am a flex developer, and I'm trying to install Apache Flex SDK 4.14.0 to work with on my computer along with eclipse (on windows 8).
I am following the instructions here: http://apache.mivzakim.net/flex/4.14.0/README , and under the "SOFTWARE" part, in number * 4, I am instructed to install the Adobe Flash Player Content Debugger.
I need the developer's debugger version of flash player, so I downloaded it from here: Adobe Flash Player - Downloads under "Download the Flash Player for Windows 8 x64 debugger".
What was received was a file named "Windows8-RT-KB2777262-x64.msu". When I clicked on it it did an update to windows that was supposed to get me the debug version of flash player.
Now when I go to this link: Flash Player Help and press on "Check Now" I see this:
YOUR SYSTEM INFORMATION
Your Flash Version
16.0.0
Your browser name
Internet Explorer
Your Operating System (OS)
Windows (Windows 8)
The flash player that was installed is NOT a debug version.
How do I install the debug version???

Hi Raya,
We are aware some issues with this help page and are working to resolve this so the correct information is reported. No ETA at this time as to when this will be fixed.
If you go to Control Panel > Programs > Programs and Features > Installed Updates do you see an entry for "Debugger for Internet Explorer Flash Player for Windows 8" item listed? If so, this indicates that the debugger version is installed.

Trying To Add UIScrollbar To Flash Website But FLA File Has No Layers

I was asked to add content to a flash website page... When I open the FLA file, there are aboslutely no layers for me to work with. I found an .as file that contained the page content and so I added the needed content there. But this is where I run into a problem. I'm fairly new to flash so perhaps this is common. After adding the additional content, the content now extends vertically and beyond the page borders. In doing research, I discovered that the solution is to change the TextField to "dynamic" and add a UIScrollbar during the build. I've learned to do this but the problem remains that I don't have any layers to modify for this particular website. Can someone explain why or how I can find the layers for this file? I am using Flash CS3... and unsure what version the original designer was using. I guess another option is to add a UIScrollbar to the website by modifying the .as file directly. Can this be done? Please help!

It appears that the only items in the library are movie clips and a couple bitmaps. Here is a screenshot of my FLA file when opened in Adobe Flash: http://www.flashvideopro.net/images/flash_screenshot.jpg. Any ideas from what you see? I'm fairly new to Flash, but I have never before opened up an existing flash file for a flash website without seeing the layers for the site. Apparantly there are different ways to create flash content? Could it be that the textlayer I am looking for is hidden in a movie clip? And if that's the case would this be editable? I menitoned in my original post that I can actually edit the page in the main.as page as you see in this image. But I have no clue how to add a UIScrollbar without having the textlayer in front of me. The FLA file I am trying to edit is for global and trendy links (dot) com.

Safari trouble with Flash Websites

Hi, I am having trouble using a particular
Flash website online that I am developing
Using Safari v. 2.0 on a Mac running Tiger 10.4.2
I am able to access the homepage of this site
http://www.sweetybomb.com
but I am unable to load any of the buttons (about - music - etc.)
I understand that this may be a Macromedia Flash issue, but
the odd thing is that this site works fine in all other Browsers
(Opera, Explorer, etc.)
Every once in awhile, the site works (I can load content, use buttons)
but 99% of the time, Safari stalls on the homepage which is odd
because the file sizes of the Flash movies are low (at least in the opening part)
Anyhow, just seeing if there are some Apple/Safari things that
I could troubleshoot on that end of things
Thank you

I have talked with Apple several times
via my Apple Care and they insist it's
something on the Flash end of things
Thanks for your response and if you
have any advice I would be happy to
hear it
cheers
