Help starting off with Flash animations?

I just started to make flash animations using Adobe Flash CS4, but there's something I just don't understand.
To create an animated object, I know I have to create a new movie clip symbol, animate it, and then put it in the main scene. But when I drag the symbol from the library to the main scene, only the first frame of the animation is copied! How can I copy the entire animation of a movie clip symbol to the main scene?

If I'm correct, you say that I should press enter to play the animation, but pressing enter does nothing when I'm in the main scene (in fact, the Play command under the Control tab is greyed out). Right now I can see how my animation is going by going to Control -> Test Movie, but then it creates a swf file and then plays it, which means I can't play from a specific frame (right now my animation is small so it's ok, but having to go through all of it when it's longer will be problematic!). Anyway, thanks for the replies.

Help starting off with SharePoint Search

We are looking at ways to help narrow down search results. The system is being implemented to manage Policies, the managers manage policies using Word Documents and are stored in a Library, and the published documents are saved as PDF files and are stored
in another library.
is it possible to make it so end users can search only the published policy folder and give the managers to search both (ideally separately, depending on what they are working on). We are basically looking for ways to create more managed search
environments.

The way SharePoint Search works it to only show results for the "stuff" to which a user has access. So the users can get only those results for which they are intended to get. Other than that you can set refinement to get differnt types of metadata
filtered in search result.
Here are few ref links

New here... question to start off with

Hi everyone...
New to the forum and excited to learn some things with Dreamweaver.
A question to start off with.... How does one program Dreamweaver so that it will automatically format in different browsers (sizes). Is this even possible?
cheers...

Read post #3 again... the part about 100%
Also... lots of tutorial links
As well as the links below - another way to learn (including anyone else's bad habits) is to find a page you like, and then tell your web browser to show you the code view for the page and/or do a "Save As" and save the page to your computer to then copy & paste code segments into your file (in IE click View at the top, select Source from the options)

Starting off with Illustrator, best training?

I'm starting off with Illustrator and want to get some opinions about learning resources.
Has anyone tried out: http://www.vectordiary.com/ ?
They have a very affordable plan at around $ 25 / year. And it looks like there are good tutorials on there.
I'll consider Lynda.com but I'm on a tight budget, so $ 25 a year is a little much right now.
Also which book would be best for a beginner?:
Adobe Illustrator CC on Demand
Illustrator CC: Visual QuickStart Guide
Illustrator CC Digital Classroom ( most expensive )
Any feedback would be greatly appreciated.
I really want to get into Illustrator seriously and I don't want to waste my time on a confusing training book.
Thanks,
Ricky

A java book called:
Java How To Program (Covers Java 2 Introducing Swing) by Deitel & Deitel is good for starting off.
if you wanna get a free online tutorial. http://developer.java.sun.com/developer/onlineTraining/
is definately a good choice. or you can download this tutorial from this URL:

I'm confused. Are you saying that your mac came with an older version of OS X, but you want to be able to use OS X Lion, which you downloaded from the App store? If this is not the case, what do you mean by "I downloaded os x but my laptop started off with os x lion and i want os x lion back"? Specifically, what do you mean by "I downloaded OS X" if your mac came with Lion?

Help with flash animation!

Hi there! My name is Dean and I've bought Adobe Flash CS4 4 months ago. I'm very new to flash and I've already made my first animation -
http://www.swfcabin.com/open/1267200676
but I'm here to ask a question.
Well, I've been riding this cartoon -
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=bbUqEPUZ-ds
and I was wondering, how did they do the hands and legs animation? It looks like the bone tool, but whenever I use the bone tool, I can't get it right! I always get wrong edges! Here are some pictures of my failures -
http://img202.imageshack.us/gal.php?g=fail5.jpg
anyway, I just couldn't get it right and I think it's because I draw it wrong.
Please, any help will be awesome!
mail: [email protected]
msn: [email protected]
Oh and by the way, about the lipsync, I think its a little jumpy, How can i make it better? (Like the Cartoon on top^)
Thanks!

Best to do it all in Flash or not Flash at all.

Overlay live video feed with flash animation

I am using a webcam to allow people see themselves on a screen. I would like to overlay the video with some flash animation (simple graphics of planes, cars etc.) going across the screen.
How do I achieve this?

Hi IEC,
Having just finished an app that has two ROI overlay layers ontop of a
static image, I might be able to give you some ideas. All of the below
assumes that you know basic Labview programming.
- I have not used IMAQ yet, and so am not sure what front panel control
type will render the live video images. But, I'm not sure that matters.
- If you can place an XY Graph over your video display on the front panel then we have it made
- stretch the size of the XY Graph so that the plot area matches the size and placement of your video image panel
- make the plot area of the XY graph transparent.
- you can also make the border of the XY graph transparent
- if you want a scale for your video then use the scale of the XY Graph to show the scale of your video images
- then it's just a matter of defining the XY points of the ROIs that you want to plot on the XY Graph
- if you want multiple ROIs then each can be a different color by making them different channels to the XY Graph
- if you just want a few straight lines, and want to be able to move
the lines around in realtime then you can get a little fancier:
       - turn on the cursor legend for the XY Graph
       - create two cursors for each line that
you need (a start point cursor, and an end point cursor)
       - set the color and cursor style as desired
       - in your main loop:
                 - use the XY Graph "crsr list" property to get the XY positions of the various cursors
      - those cursor XY positions become
points of line segments fed to the XY Graph to plot (draws a line
between the cursors)
       - In realtime, as you move the cursors, the line segments move accordingly
In my particular app I had to provide a mechanism for the user to
create ovals, rectangles, polygons and freehand ROIs. Then I also
needed mechanisms to rotate, pan or expand/compress the ROIs. This is a
bit more challenging, but very do-able.
Hope that helps,
RMP

How to make a flash starter (to other flash animations)

What is the code I must use when I click on a button (goto1_btn), it loads another flash animation (1.swf) which has a back button (back_btn) to return at the starter? (gallery)
(Note: I'll use more than 30 btn on the starter → at the end: more than 30 swf in the folder)
Thanks

I won't be writing out all the code you will need for this since it can get fairly involved for what you describe wanting. As part of your learning you should also learn how to find coding solutions. Google and the Flash Help documentation are two of the best tools available for this. Search Google using "AS3 Loader tutorial" You might even want to try searching for "AS3 gallery tutorial"

Performance decrease with flash animation/games

When I try to view embedded flash using firefox or safari, it seems to hog a ton of memory. It starts out at a reasonable ammount (usually ~300MB of Physical plus Virtual) but eventually it gets up to 1.39 GB (out of my 2.00 GB available). The whole system slows considerably and often crashes.
I have noticed that the same flash animations work fine on my windows based PC with only 1 GB of physical memory. I have a 256 MB graphics card along with 2 GB of memory and a fast processor. Is there a way I can pipeline the system more to use the graphics chip rather than the memory or any software that might prevent this issue?
Thank You

Make sure you have the latest versions of Adobe Flash Player Software.
Try running repair permissions from your HD and afterwards run +repair disk+ _from your software install DVD._

Add a link to page option with flash animations??

Hello, I see that you have an option for images if you insert an image, you have a link to html page option
But if you insert a flash animation , there is no link option?
as some research i have found that I have to do it i flash itself.
Why did you not create a link option for flash animations? as you have with images, a link option would be great for flash animations also
Is there a code I can do in dreamweaver to link flash animations to a page.
thanks, I dont know why dreamweaver flash animations does not have a link option? please put it in next release
thanks

flash animations not visible on phone devices ? i see flash animations fine from my phone
Don't know what phone you use or if what you're seeing is actually Flash, but Apple iDevices don't support Flash. Never have and never will.
     http://www.apple.com/hotnews/thoughts-on-flash/
Adobe has stopped further Flash development for mobile devices in favor of HTML5, CSS3 & JavaScript. See Adobe Edge Preview.
     http://labs.adobe.com/technologies/edge/
Finally, from where I sit, Flash is a fading web technology. But if it floats your boat, feel free to make a feature request.

Synchronizing Voice Over with Flash animations

Is there a way to time voice-over that has been imported via
the Adobe Presenter menu with specific events or visual cues within
an imported Flash file? For instance, having a visual in the Flash
file pop up when the narrator says something.
I saw some functionality in Presenter that alludes to what
I'm trying to do ... where you can sync the audio with PowerPoint
text transitions by dragging a marker to the appropriate spot on
the sound wave bar.
Thanks.

there are two ways to achieve synching with PPT animations,
through the "Synchronize Audio" tool or through the "Audio Editor"
which you eluded to. They are both menu options in the Presenter
Menu

Need help with flash animation and jump to slide

I have been researching for days on how to build a menu in
flash 8 that has links to jump to a slide later in the captivate
lesson.
The goal:
I want to have a tab - when clicked on - opens up and shows a
table of contents. Click on an item and it will jump to that slide.
Method:
I used flash 8 to build a tab and pop up menu. Works great.
But how do I make the buttons or links to jump to slide?
Is it possible to:
* - use a roll over image in captivate - pause image and
click on a button to pop over to the slide - no flash menus...just
action script to pause and allow clicking.
* - use a FS Command script from inside the captivate movie
- java call in button proprieties.
* - write the menu in flash - use action script to say "on
release - jump to slide" or "on release - jump to frame" - I have a
frame counter that I can find the frame number of the slide - but
how would you get the script to work.
Please Help -
Flash not a good friend of mine - so any time I can avoid --
is great...but it is what it is - i do anything to get it to work.
Thank you in advance for your help and I really look forward
to your thoughts.
Regards -
Vince

Hi
I didn't understand a few things here.
1. Are you trying these things using Adobe Presenter or this is just plain Powerpoint you are talking about?
2. Are you trying to view the output on the Slide show or presenter output
If you are doing it for PowerPoint slide show, try setting the animations using with previous and after previous
1. first insert the video. Set it to play automatically
2. Insert the first text box. Apply animation on it saying "with Previous". This will make the animation play as soon as the video starts. If you want some delay apply some delay for the animation in the animation pane, such that the animation appears when the video has content sound
3. For the remaining text boxes apply animations as "after Previous". This will make the animations play after the previous animation has completed.
4. Now all you have to do is applay delay to the animations to adjust them as and how you want
Hope this is what you wanted to achieve
Thanks

HELP ! Banner with floating animation over web page

Hi, im fairly new at flash and i have to create an Banner but
it consist of an animation that appears from underneath the web
page and floats up to the area where the banner will be posted and
then transforms into the banner.(the floating object needs to have
some transparency)
I have about 16 different sizes for the banners cause they
are for different web sites. Any help is greatly appreciated

You can put links in applets. You can put buttons and other input/output widgets in applets.
I don't think it's possible to make an applet be the background image of a web page, although you might be able to simulate that with layers.
Though if all you want is moving water as the background, the water moving conditionally, maybe you don't need an applet at all. Maybe you can do it more easily with javascript. Actually at this point I'm not sure if you really do have an applet; maybe you're just using the word as shorthand for something else?
