HELP! FLash Page flip

Okay
I began as an intern at an agency, but all the designers are
gone and I'm the only one left. I have a problem with a flash
Page-flip component that we are using on our website.
I used flash for the first time ever last week.
I've got the pages sorted and even imported an swf animation
onto a page.
However I need to know how to control the animation so that
it starts when the page it is on is turned, not when the whole book
is loaded. So the viewers see the animation working, when it is
visible.
An example of the page flip component is here:
http://www.mymelodi.com/prophp/Main.php?MagID=1&MagNo=1
Can anyone help? I've tried books and miles of coding but I
know f*** all about flash, to have done even this much has been a
miracle.
Any help would be appreciated, I fear I am alone on the deck
of a sinking ship................. S - O - S

i Dont have the Answer to your Problem But i Do Have a
Problem that you Might be able to Help me with x_x .. If you
Could.. i Have a Page Flip Component that Im working on at the
Moment, and i Have NO idea how to Either make the Background
Transparent, or Change its Color..

PDF to Flash - Page Flip

Hello Folks,
I am looking at the possiblity of DYNAMICALLY converting my
PDF brochures to a Flash PAGE FLIP presenation on the web. I have
many PDF brochures that are created customized for my customers.
When then login to my site, I would like for them to view this PDF
but with a Page Flip view ? Can someone guide me to toolsets that
are available that will make this happen ?

Flash 'page flip' into Dreamweaver

I have a site
sheffield-central.com,
from client input indicates that I can make great use of these
(page-flip.com).
I have included a couple of examples in the past with no
problems. However, I had a computer built around 6 moths ago and it
seems to have corrupted something bewteen Dreamweaver and flash.
Let me try to explain. I created a menu for a bar called xyz.
I called the folder for this project xyz and put a folder within
this folder called pages. The pages are xyzpage1.jpg, xyzpage2.jpg
and so on.
Within Flash, I dragged the Premium Flip Component onto the
stage, resized it and began entering the pages as
pages/xyzpage1.jpg etc.
I dragged the whole folder, including the published .swf and
.fla files into the site on Dreamweaver, uploaded the lot and did
the usual Insert...Media...Flash. The movie shows in the
Dreamweaver pages (grey, Flash logo etc.) but that's it. It doesn't
show up when I preview the page and it doesn't show up on the
internet.
A co-worker tried it on his machine and it worked fine.It's
obviously a file path problem. In Dreamweaver, when the 'Select
File' box comes up to insert the Flash movie, I've tried both
'Relative to Document' and 'Relative to Site Root'
I'm totally bewildered, not in any way a newbie but seem to
be missing something obvious.
A page I've tried unsuccessfully to include the flash onto is
here

No sorry. We wanted to purchase one of the flips, but had
questions about it.
They did not answer any emails, and provide no phone number
to call, and no known refund policy.
They are actually breaking the TOS of 2checkout by not
providing this info.
So we did not bu as we have no way too verify if the product
is as good as it looks and which version we need.

Url link in flash page flip book

I am very inexperienced at what I am trying to accomplish.
I have created a flip book in flash. On a page in the book I made a button that is a link to an external url. When I place the the swift file of that page on my webstie, the link works. I have made a link from my homepage to the flipbook. But when I open the flip book the url link does not work.
Does anyone out there know what's wrong?
thanks

If the flip page the swf is in has interactive code asigned to it, such as whatever you use to flip the page, it could be blocking access to any clickable objects in the swf file.

PDF Page Flip Feature Request

Flip books have become popular over the past years and I would like to see the ability to flip through pdf's with a page turn option. This could be a view with a one page or two page layout. This functionality would not have to have the robust rendering that a true Flash page flip book has but just an animated quick flip, much like you see on common book readers. I know this is a small thing but it makes a big difference in perception when one is scrolling through a PDF verses reading through it like a book. Is this feature a current consideration?
Thank you,
Brandon Buie

+1 For that Feature Request . Everybody will be happy to see pdf contents in ''page flip" mode (except Adobe programmers).

Page flipping with Volatile Image. Need help :)

Hello all,
Could someone point me to a nice tutorial which specifically addresses setting up page flipping with Volatile Images as the buffer? I haven't had any trouble with the generic BufferStrategy way of doing things, but it looks like the absolute fastest way to go is page flipping. Any info on this subject would be appreciated. I am a student who is making his first attempt at setting up a fullscreen video game...well if you want to call it that! :) I am shooting for Pong as a first project!
Please feel free to send me the info at [email protected], and thanks much.

If you're using Windows, then your picture is already most likely
being stored as volatile. You should look for an article on the
web discussing Java rendering internals as of 1.4 do a search for
"java automatic images" you'll probably find some useful info.
But if you insist you can just fire up a debugger and
play with it until you finally figure out what it's doing..
You just need to do a createVolatileImage as opposed to createImage
when creating your buffers.. make sure to use
createBufferStrategy(2) (or if you want to be totally sure print out
the capabilities of the buffers available and select one that you
know for sure supports back and front buffers that are "truly"
volatile..
it turns out in my experience on win2k that using normal "automatic"
images via Component.createImage() are faster than volatiles perhaps
because I tend to do alot of scaling ops which are not as of yet
accelerated..
here's some stuff that might help you:
good luck!
static public void printBufferCapabilities(BufferCapabilities bc) {
System.out.println("Printing Buffer Capabilities: ");
if (bc.isFullScreenRequired())
System.out.println("Full screen is required");
else
System.out.println("Full screen is required");
if (bc.isMultiBufferAvailable())
System.out.println("MultiBuffering is available");
else
System.out.println("MultiBuffering is not available");
if (bc.isPageFlipping())
System.out.println("PageFlipping is available");

System.out.println("PageFlipping is not available");

Basic Flash Page, Script Help Please!

So, I realize I'm an idiot, but I'm trying to teach myself flash because I need to make a basic flash page. I am going by this tutorial:
http://www.flash-game-design.com/flash-tutorials/basic-Website-flash-tutorial.html
I have modified it (going step by step mind you) and now that it's over, instead of the page loading normally, it just goes from page to page without clicking on a link at all. Just goes from home, to about, to artists, etc.
I get no errors so... I'm a little lost.
I've uploaded the swf for reference.

I always say to doublecheck the instance names... you'd be surprised how often some says they're okay when they're not. Sometimes they are using library names, not instances names, and something they simply did not assign instance names.
Your description of how the buttons are related to a movieclip isn't clear, but if the traces I mentioned come out, then the buttons are working.
I wish there was a way I could see the full set of messages for this posting (like the old system)... at this point I have to guess what I remember seeing... Do you have frame labels in your section mc that match the calls in your buttons functions?
For the home page issue... If it disappears it is likely going to another frame. If a command says gotoAndPlay... and you're already there, it will advance in the timeline even if there is a stop in that frame (the stop is used up)
Here's a routine that worked for another posting as far as getting the file to upload in the forum...
1) zip the fla file
2) rename the zip file to have a txt extenstion

Embedded .swf (page flip) Very Slow

Hello,
Within my flash file, I embedded a .swf (page flip) that is taking too long to load. When flipping through, it lags. Is there anything that could be done?
Reference:
http://www.lucysonlinestore.co.cc/home.html
The .swf (page flip) is under "Clothes".
Any advice appreciated.

kglad,
I apologize for the misunderstanding. I don't wish for anyone to go through my files. My intention of posting on here is for anyone with the past experience of slow performing page flips to share their solutions. Since page flip is so popular in flash sites, I thought people would have encoutered such problems. I included my site to show as an example. I do appreciate you taking the time and effort to go through the files and test run them.
The error you're referring to is caused by declaring and using the loader in frame 3. In frame 1, I'm unloading the loader. If I declare the loader in frame 1, then the unloading won't work properly.
I did search online for past posts, while many people encountered page flip performance issues, there is not much solutions out there. I thought better solutions are out now. It's at times like this that I wish I knew more about flash and AS3. Started to learn about a week ago doesn't help solving the errors.
Thank you for looking into this.

Page-flip book on iWeb?

I am designing my own website using iWeb and I have been having problems finding a page-flip book that is iWeb compatible. If anyone knows of a page-flip program that I can use with iWeb, would you please let me know? This issue has been brought up on these forums before and I wonder what kind of success people have had. Also, if you would include a link where a page-flip book is currently being used on an iWeb designed website, that would be great. So far I haven't seen any. Thanks.

^^^ Thank you, Old Toad, for referring me to DecoImaging. Because of your help, I was able to use this program to make my own page-flip book and, with some effort, load it onto my iWeb page. Designing the book was the fairly easy part. The difficult part was that the html code that is generated in the program does not take to iWeb. A few changes needed to be made, namely the html code was changed to reflect the Flash files by adding "swf" to the code in iWeb. I could not figure this out myself and it took an html programmer to look at the code and make the changes. A note about DecoImaging too. It is a great program and it is the simplest, cleanest, and most realistic page-flip book I've seen. When you turn the pages, they don't turn too fast (like on many other books) and you can control how much curve too add in the middle of the book. No html knowlege is needed to make the book. Unfortunately, like most of these programs, there is no phone support. I must have sent dozens of emails to the only tech support person in the company. There is only one person to handle all email messages. If anyone decides to use DecoImaging to create your own flip-book, the onus is on you to be patient with the support you get from DecoImaging. In end, I got my page-flip book up on iWeb. This is what I was dreaming of all along. Here it is:

Pop-up error on flash pages

My OPS - Windows XP SP2
My Browser - IE Explorer 6
My ISP - Road Runner High Speed
My Macromedia Flash Player Version - 8.0.24.0
ISSUE:
I am receiving a small popup error as certain web pages that
use flash are loading up ... not all flash pages, but some,
including my homepage which is "www.rr.com"
The popup appears briefly, only as the page is being loaded,
and it reads as follows ... "Press SPACE BAR or ENTER to activate
and use this control"
After a second or two the page is fully loaded and the popup
quickly disappears, however there is a broken-lined box which
surrounds the flash section of the page and if I enter that section
{flash} with my cursor I receive a similar message which reads ....
"Click to activate and use this control"
Only if I left click my mouse or hit SPACE or ENTER on my
keyboard can I access the flash sections of said page ... so for
example, if I were attepmting to access a flash link on said page I
would need to left click twice, once to "activate and use the
control" and one to access the link ... or I could hit my SPACE BAR
or ENTER prior to clicking the flash link and then it will be
activate, thus only one left click on the link will suffice
I have also encounted this same popup at the mcafee homepage
... us.mcafee.com ... when I push my cursor into a flash section of
the page I receive the same small popup, "Click to activate and use
this control"
I have been a flash user for quite some time, on this very
same PC, same OPS, same Browser, same ISP, and I've even had the
updated version of flash player for at least a month {8.0.24.0},
yet this trouble has appeared out of the blue only two days ago and
I cannot fix it
I have tried a number of fixes ... I have even used the
uninstall utility for flash player as provided by your website, and
uninstalled my browser, then reinstalled both to no avail, same
issue continues to occur on certain flash pages {but not all},
including my homepage
PLEASE HELP
Thanks You,
Dobermite

Here's the fix!!
Change your flash objects(embed) to external files that use
javascript to write the tag. Like so
var oeTags = '<object classid="clsid
27cdb6e-ae6d-11cf-96b8-444553540000" codebase="
http://fpdownload.macromedia.com/pub/shockwave/cabs/flash/swflash.cab#version=8,0,0,0"
width="812" height="565" >'
+ '<param name="allowScriptAccess" value="sameDomain"
/>'
+ '<param name="movie" value="dyna_main.swf"
/><param name="quality" value="high" /><embed
src="dyna_main.swf" quality="high" width="812" height="565"
allowScriptAccess="sameDomain" type="application/x-shockwave-flash"
pluginspage="
http://www.macromedia.com/go/getflashplayer"
/>'
+ '</object>';
document.write(oeTags);
name the page whatever.js
on you htm page include it with a script tag, like so
<script src="/whatever.js"></script>
It works

Can you code a link between html and a particular flash page?

Hi,
I hope this question is not too confusing. I am designing a website in flash CS3 using Action script 2.0 not 3.0 and Flash Player 8. The architecture I used is as follows: I have a menu/main page which loads the swf files of other flash pages. I have a particular flash chatroom page which is loaded by the main page that I would like to be able to link an web address (example ... www.chatroom.com) directly too that particular sub flash page ... rather than going to the main.swf which is what the original web address uses. (I hope your following me).
Technically I know I could link a web address to the chatroom.swf file, but then it would estetically look incomplete since the theme/design of the website is in the main.swf which calls the chatroom.swf.
Thus my question is: is there a way to assign the web address to the chatroom.swf inside the main.swf. I would like to go directly to the chatroom without clicking chatroom on the main.swf menu. I do not know enough Actionscript 2.0 to know if this is possible. I did try to search for the answer but could not find it. If it is possible what script would I need? If it is not possible, any other ideas to get the same effect?
As always, thank you for your help.

I just wanted to clarify how the main page links to the subsequest pages when I said it loads the swf file. The links in the actual menu code are fla files.
(on release) {
_root.toLoad = 'chatroom'
_root.con.play(_currentframe+1);
Then I must publish the files to make swf files for each page which will be loaded into the main menu.
I hope that gives insight to my thinking and helps you answer my question.

How do I change the theme in Presenter to publish a page flip effect?

How do I change the theme in Presenter to publish a page flip .swf & .pdf effect?
Thank you for reply with help!

You can increase the font size and automatically page view changes. Go to menubar; Reading -> PDF View or Epub Text Size (depending upon the ebook) and increase the size.
