Help... I'm new to Flash

Hello,
I am new to Flash development and I've created a simple flash
website with links/buttons on the left and on the right a content
box.
My question is how to make transitions or effects after you
click one of the links on the left, to make the content part load
up into a special effect, something like random tiles flipping over
displaying the new content corresponding to the button on the left
that you click. Are there any tutorials that would be helpful? I'm
also trying to create a special effect that loads the entire flash
in a cool way, not having the flash just appear simply but appear
with a special effect.
Any help would be appreciated,
Alan

You can insert ananimation in a movieclip with an alpha
transition. Load it on a higher level as the button is clicked on a
lower level.
There are many examples, there are about as many ways to do
it also.

Help!(confused face) I'm new with flash and don't know why the timers don't work like i would expect

I'm new with flash and don't know why the timers don't work like i would expect. In VB.NET timers are how you move stuff, but it doesn't look like they are ideal for moving stuff in flash at all (really slow). I'm making a game in which you throw a ball around the screen. i am using a timer to get the ball to move. this doesn't work well for 2 reasons; 1: the ball jumps alot, and 2: the timer should eventually run out of time. If anyone can help, i'd be thrilled cus this is my first post here, so yeah

Timing for movement would be more often dealt with using something that operates at the frame rate of the file. The ENTER_FRAME event is usually selected for this purpose.
stage.addEventListener(Event.ENTER_FRAME, moveBall);
function moveBall(evt:Event):void {
// your positioning code
You could use a Timer to control when to stop the listener from being active.

Motion tween destroying background. New to flash. Please help!

Im brand new to flash and trying to do a motion tween on a graphic symbol but for some reason when I do this it changes my background and covers up my other background drawings. Does anyone know what I am doing wrong or how to avoid affecting the background while doing a tween?

Yes, thank you for replying. I made a country scene with hills, a sky, and some other things. I drew a cloud in the sky. I turned the cloud into a graphic object, then tried to motion tween the cloud. When I do so, it works it just changes the whole background to green, the stage background color.

Need Help to create new screen for RF Sapconsole

Hi Guru's
I'm new on RF (but some years in ABAP) since last week.

I have to develop 2 new screens with really few time.
And, another subsidiary question :

It's a new strange world for me today...
Many thanks to everyone who can explain me

(Help) Using Input text in Flash CS4 AS3

I am trying to take a user's input (His Name) and then greet the user on the next frame using the name he previously entered. I googled for 2days and was unable to find a way to do this on flash CS4 AS3, i guess because im very new to flash (only 2-3weeks )
Any help would be greatly appreciated, and i am sorry if this was already answered in the forums.
thanks for reading.

If your interested... here's some general "rules of the road" that are basically courtesies...
Don't post the same question in different forums (crossposting). Folks that help don't like that because they can waste their time providing the same response someone else already offered elsewhere, or their helpful info gets no attention because the OP (original poster) got wrapped up in the discussion elsewhere and never went back to the other forums. I saw one time where the OP suffered from doing this... the first person to respond in one forum said what they wanted couldn't be done, while my response in another forum showed them how to do it... but they accepted that it couldn't be done and never returned.
Don't post in someone else's posting unless the exact same situation applies to you and it is a current posting. It is a bit rude to step into someone else's posting just to get attention, which some people do... some with totally unrelated problems. Or if your problem is even slightly different, it can end up confusing matters for all involved... trying to juggle helping two people where different solutions are needed.
If you get one problem resolved and have another you want help with that does not involve the first, start a new posting. People search these forums so it helps to have topics match the postings, which will not apply if mutliple topics get resolved under one title. I recently saw one person tell someone to start a new posting even though they were following up to clarify something of the solution they received... that's wrong and is more likely someone with a case of points greed... as useless as points are, it happens.

About in tears from new adobe flash player 10.3 not working

After installing the new Adobe Flash 10.2.153.1 on my Windows7 64 bit computer, it can not be found when using my IE8 (does not show 32 or 64 bit only 256-bit).
I have uninstalled using your reference on "please read: when asking Flash Player questions" and then reinstalled. It is on the programs list as installed but when I go to a site that needs me to use Adobe Flash it says I need it install it. Whn I go to the adobe web site to verify that I have installed Adobe Flash it only has a box with a small red x in the corner.
I have updated my devices drivers. I do not completely understand what a "kill-bit" is; however, I have gone into my registry and there is no registry keys that have {d27....etc}. There are many other numbers and most have a compatibilty flag of 0x00000400. So I must not have a "kill-bit" for Flash Player set. Not sure what that means.
Can you help me? And have I given you enough info?
Thanks for any help you can give me.

FYI - have uninstalled adobe flash player since we last replied should I try to install again?
I have checked this too and
*Shockwave Flash Object installed and Enabled. version 11.5.7.
* Yes at medium now (was at med high)
* have mcafee but just installed tonight your recommended microsoft security essentals (did a quick scan tonight)
* C:\Windows\SysWOW64\Macromed\Flash - FlashInstall (txt file) and Install (txt file)
* No error messages - was told it was installed successfully
thanks!

Quicktime and new Adobe flash don't work!!

Ever since I have ? downloaded new iTunes/Quicktime updates I cannot get Quicktime to play any movie trailers. Also, when I go to any sites which need a Flash player, I am unable play any flash related videos. To add further frustration, I am unable to download the new Adobe flash player. It "downloads," but goes nowhere on my computer and is nonfunctional!! I feel like because I have an "old" Mac with Panther (which otherwise works great!), I am slowly being phased out of all the new downloads as they often either don't work or screw up my system. Help!!

Hi again Stephen,
That's great! I'm glad that that got you back on the track.
I personally Repair Permissions about once a week or so (though the need to is highly debated here in Discussions).
You might be interested in having a look at About Disk Utility's Repair Disk Permissions feature.
Always Repair Permissions from Disk Utility on you HD before and after any Software Update/Upgrade for trouble free downloads.
Glad I was able to help and thank-you for the courtesy of extending the Solved star!
good luck,

You can't change size dynamically as it is defined by the
object embed tags.
You could use WMODE transparency which could help you fake it
tho not always best
solution to go with WMODE. It's a very buggy parameter.
WMODE will remove the background color so the flash movie
appear over the html and you
can see the HTML content trough the movie.
You could define some solid shape for the background on
bottom layer to make it look
like SWF background, than change it with the other loaded
movie making it appear as it
changed size while the over all flash size stats the same. As
said above - faking it.

Very new to Flash

Hi all. I am very very new to Flash, been thinking about usig
it for all of a day! I have to come up with a website and the
general idea is that a lot of 3D is to be used. Although I have
been heavily involved in 3D for 14 years now, web development apart
from HTML is a little new to me. I have been told that the SWF
output from Maya is not actually truly suitable for a website due
to file sizes. Is this true? Would anybody be able to suggest an
alternative or a way to shrink file sizes if needed? Maya is what I
know, 2D animation isn't. Any help on this would be truly
appreciated.
Regards, A.

check out Swift 3D, it's probably one of the best
solutions

Help with editing a template flash file..

FIRST OFF..please don't shoot the noobee..I know some folks
don't like the templates and I appreciate that.
I have done some reading but not a whole lot about Flash. I
certainly don't want to BUILD a flash (not yet), but want to edit
one that is included in a template. I only want to edit the header
that drops down. It says The Web STudio. I, for example, want it to
say Marks Studio.
Ok..the temp comes with Flash/non flash.
I open w/flash and have a 3 folders: flash, psd and html.
-flash folder has Images, fla doc and one flash html file
-PSD folder has 3 psd files
-html folder has flash folder, images folder, css file and
one single index.html file.
I opened the flash folder and found the image.jpg I wanted to
change to Marks studio.
I opend the PSD and found the slice that is the same as that,
then edited it like I want it in PSD, then saved to replace the old
image. top1. jpg
Still, it is the same ole one that came with the temp.
as I said, please don't shoot the noobe. I just wanna edit
the flash file.
Thanks for any help.
Mark

You'd need Flash to edit the FLA file.

New to FLASH.... I am wanting to learn the how to say, fly a plane over page

Hi
I am completely new to FLASH, i have managed to create a
basic step by step animation, much like i have done with an
animation tool, painshop pro animation programe.
But it must be easier than this, I have been told to look at
the manual, but i do not even know what i am looking for.
How do i get an image of lets say a plane to fly across the
page or in the window of the flash movie with a few clouds in the
background say.
what i am hoping to next have is for the plane to have a
banner flying behind it with a name on it.
can someone please help me out here i am going crazy with
frustration it can not be that hard i am sure i just need help in
creating the first and i can hopefully work out how to add the
banner in time.
just like PHP i worked it out in the end, i wish to learn all
i can about flash.
or are there any other online tutorials that show a step by
step instruction on how to do basic things, i have looked at the
flash help files that came with the software but have no idea what
they are getting at, and again i do not know what to look for
either,
cheers in advance for your help.

are you using the timeline and motion tweens? for a plane to
fly across the screen, you would need a movieclip symbol of the
plane. create a layer in the timeline that corresponds to this
symbol and place it on the start position on the stage. create a
new keyframe in the timeline several frames ahead, and with this
keyframe selected, move the plane to the end position. Then click
on one of the frames in between the start keyframe and the end
keyframe, and in the properties palette, select Tween: Motion.
replace the playhead at the beginning of the timeline and hit
return to see the animation in the authoring environment. if you
want to make it last longer, add more frames between the start and
end frames (select a frame in between and hit F5 to add frames or
Shift-F5 to delete frames). this is pretty basic, but it should get
you started...
good luck,
albee

New at Flash

Hey All,
I am new with flash and i am creating a site and i have
created a button which i want to modify.
So i basically copied it and now when i make chnages to one
button, it effects the other ones also.
Can someone help me, its prob easy but i am blind.
I have done a search also and could not find anything, so
sorry if its already been posted somewhere.
Thanks in advance :)

This is because you have many *instances* of the same symbol.
The reason for
this is that if you need the same thing on stage many times,
it is more
efficient in terms of filesize of your finished SWF to use
the same symbol.
What you need to do is:
Select the button you want to change.
In your 'Properties' panel, click the 'Swap' button.
At the bottom of the panel that pops up is a button that
looks like 2
squared with an arrow - click this.
Give your duplicate symbol a new name.
Click OK.
Edit the new symbol.
Repeat until done!

New to Flash CC, Missing icons in Action panel

Hello, I am new to Flash. I am using Flash CC.
This is my action panel. As you can see, bunch of icons are missing. Please help me find a way to make them visible. Thanks.

Like Script assist & a bunch of icons in the above picture. I can't named them specifically because, they are never shown in the first place! Like I said, I am new. At least the Script Asisit will help me get up to speed with AC3.

Help... I'm new to Flash
