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.

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).

Check in help under the Tutorial section for "Add motion
tweens"
Basically you need to import your images, convert them to
instances like
movie clips or graphics symbols then motion tween them to get
them move
and use color effect Alpha to get them to fade in.
Check the help first and tell me how far can you get from
there, whatever
problem you face, post back, will help you go ahead with it.

Help needed with Flash intro

Hi,
I've made a little Flash intro for a site I built in Golive.
I have no knowledge of Flash whatsoever and I need some help to
make sure that as soon as the intro finishes the visitor is
redirected to the homepage. I made the intro in Imageready (so all
frames ended up being bitmaps in Flash), but I read somewhere that
I should use some scripting on the last frame. I've opened the file
in Flash, but I'm not sure what script to use and how. Could
someone help me out here (it's not a commercial site, it's just my
own site but any help would not be less appreciated!)? And then, do
I also need to add scripting to the html-page.
My site is here:
http://www.fdesign.eu/sicilia2007/index.html

on the last frame put....
this.stop();
getURL("home.html");

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>

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!

Vinay

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.

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?

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.

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).

Uploading Flash Intro to play before home page in Dreamweaver

I'm new to Flash CS3. I'm trying to figure out how to make my
flash intro to my website play before it takes me to my home page
in Dreamweaver. In other words, the flash intro plays and then
automatically goes to my designated home page.The intro is the
first thing you see. Do I set that up in Flash or Dreamweaver?
Detailed instructions needed.
thanks

Hi!
Basically, you have to do that in Flash. A possible way to go
is this: you´ve got two pages, say "index.html" and
"pageB.html". "index.html" of course is the first page any browser
would read. Here you´ve embedded your Flash-Intro. Now, after
your intro´s been played, you want the browser to switch
automatically to "pageB.html", which is your actual home page, the
actual first one, as if it were. No problem! Go to the last frame
in your Flash animation (authoring environment), press the F9-key
(in order to open action script), switch to expert modus and type
this:
getURL("pageB.html","_self");
Now, "pageB.html" should be replaced by the correct name of
the page, and you might have to type a complete path so the proper
page can be found (something like "myPage/homePage.html" or
whatever, depending on how it is structured). You could experience
some trouble here, but keep on it!
The instruction "_self" lets the browser open the new page
(your home page) in the same window, which is hopefully what you
want. If you want a new window, type "_blank" instead.
Hope I could help you!
