Help targeting flash movie
I am trying to find a way to have my flash movie play on the
same dreamweaver page.
I have five buttons on the left. When I click each one I want
them to play a different flash file in the same location on the
right. As you click a different button a new flash file replaces
the old one in the same location on the right. Each flash file is a
different size. Also I designed this and sliced it in photoshop,
saved for web and devices the opened the html file in dreamweaver.
Can my issue with this still be solved.
Please help. Thanks

Look at Wimpy Streaming audio/video Player. One player can
handle all your
flash videos and MP3 audio clips. Very easy to install, dirt
simple to
update playlists later.

Need help inserting flash movie into article...
I inserted video into flash movie. I loaded the .swf & .fla files onto a server and went into the properties in the flash movie and pointed to the server to pull the .fla file & the movie controls .swf file. I can preview the movie in flash with no problem.
I am wanting to use the object code that was created as part of the .html file that was generated by flash and insert this into an article to display the video. I path the .swf file in the object code to point to where it resides on the server but the video will not play using just the object code. Is there a way to do this using just a object or embed code without the need for scripts?
(I am using CS4 version)If the swf file does not reside in the same folder as the html page that loads it, then if the video is dynamically loaded into the Flash file, chances are the targeting in the swf needs to be adjusted. If the swf files just targets the video by its filename alone, try putting the video file in the same folder as the html file and see if it gets loaded.

I just taught myself basic coding in HTML yesterday and it
took a loooong time. So now I am having the issue of centering a
flash video in the center of the page. I do not know how to do
anything in dreamweaver so if you could explain if I need to create
a frame or table or something I would greatly appreciate it. What I
specifically want is a black background with a thin video that
stretches across the entire page in the middle that loops as my
"enter the site" page.Except with using tables:

Need help with flash movie that started to blip a white
screen between end of movie and start of movie while looping. This
started happening after I deleted a couple of frames from the very
beginning of the movie. I deleted more frames from the beginning
and now the blip is longer. It's like the screen goes blank. Cannot
figure this one out.. HELP!!!is that text being loaded externally? If so and you are using
an absolute
reference to that text (with the www in the url) it will
require a
crossdomain.xml policy file to load correctly. That, or use a
relative path
to the text file

Hi,
I'm using Adobe Flash CS3 Professional version of Flash
software,
I need help and guidance on
Different approaches to setting variables in a Flash movie,
what I should do in the fla file, and in the html file.
Thanks, GilHi petro_jemes,
Just a little claritification, you need to add the value to the variable "[string]$ou", and also change the language in the variable "$emailbody" in the function "Get-ADUserPasswordExpirationDate".
I hope this helps. -
Need help with FLV type SWF playback in flash movie
Hi,
I have three external SWF files from a client without FLA
sources. The SWFs were done 3 years ago by someone else so there is
no way to modify the existing SWF files. These contain no
interactivity but may involve nested clips on the main timeline.
They are AS1 or AS2 files so they need to be done with AS2
scripting to keep it simple.
I need to call these SWF files inside another flash movie and
play them in a player window as if they were video files with
play/pause, seekbar and volume controls. The needed functionality
is similar to FLV players. My controls will use custom graphic
buttons and sliders mimicking the look of CNN video player window.
Does anyone know a good tutorial on how to script these
controls for SWF?
Most likely I think I will load it in a clip and I am
thinking that I will need to get the duration of the loaded swf in
order to set up the seekbar.
Thanks in advance,
AttilaI think your professor, or somebody, gave you directions with ActionScript 2 programming. In AS2, what oyu have here would have worked just fine. But, in AS3, you need to use a fairly different approach. Your buttons, and their instance name, can remain the same. But now, in AS3, you have to add event listeners in the following manner:
yourButtonName.addEventListener(MouseEvent.CLICK, yourListenerFunction);
In your case, you can do one of two things - A) assign a unique listener function to each button, or B) assign the same listsner to both functions:
A)
start_btn.addEventListener(MouseEvent.CLICK, startPolygon);
stop_btn.addEventListener(MouseEvent.CLICK, stopPolygon);
function startPolygon(e:MouseEvent):void{
polygon.play();
function stopPolygon(e:MouseEvent):void{
polygon.stop();
B)
start_btn.addEventListener(MouseEvent.CLICK, controlPolygon);
stop_btn.addEventListener(MouseEvent.CLICK, controlPolygon);
function controlPolygon(e:MouseEvent):void{
if (e.target.name == "start_btn") {//Test for the name of the object that dispatched the CLICK event
polygon.play();
} else if (e.target.name == "stop_btn") {
polygon.stop();
When I'm using several buttons that do the same/nearly similar things, I favor approach B over A, as it keeps me to jsut one single function to deal with. -
Help with multiple flash movies in same website
I'm trying to create a website in dreamweaver. I created the
artwork in fireworks. a slice of it i exported to flash to create
rolling clouds over the background. i also want in the same swf
file a screen for my main content. ( I used a scrollPane component
that works nice. But for each button on my web menu (home,
schedule, ect...), I want to be able to put new content in my
scrollPane. My buttons don't reside in my flash movie. Do I need to
create a new movie for each web page?
I'm not sure how to procede.
Can anybody help?
bradIt seems that when you import an external flash movie into
Captivate 1, the full path is...
"_level0.slide0__image_mc.s0_i9_swf_mc.m_swf_mc"
...this was the start of the solution for my problem so I
thought it best to post in case it helps out anyone else.
BTW - The slide number changes (obviously) and so does the
'i' reference depending on the attributes you have given to your
imported movies. -
Hi i'm working on my final year dissertation and have become
intensely stressed out/frustrated & almost mental in achieving
this particular aim!!!!
what i need to know is how to
dynamically change a flash movies document size in real time,
without squashing or stretching the content,much like the banner
adds frequently seen on hotmail by companies such as orange,lexus
etc.. where the flash movies size expands on interaction
Help on this will be greatly greatly appreciated!!
Thank you.RE: "P.S. I found it aggravating that I couldn't copy and paste text here, it wanted me to insert as a link or an image, how do you insert plain text?"
I take it you tried using the "right click" menu? That doesn't seem to work, as you noted, but, you should be able to paste text by pressing your CTRL key and while holding it down, press the "V" letter key.
CTRL + C = COPY
CTRL + X = CUT
CTRL + V = PASTE

HELP!! White frame where Flash movies should be!!!
Can't figure a single reason why this is doing what it's
doing. Everything works fine before I create the projector.....but
once I launch it and test, all my Flash movies are just white
frames of the same size as the movies are supposed to be. No sound
or anything. Does the same thing on the Mac or PC side. I've tried
checking and unchecking DTS, etc. but I can't figure this one out.
My project is due TODAY....first time I've had this problem
before, ever.....HELP!!!I thought about that (actually made that mistake with the
Buddy API Xtra), but I just now got it to work....seems as though
it doesn't like talking to a shared drive space between my Windows
and Mac partitions, even though it'll play just fine within
Director while I'm working on the project. I copied everything
over, all the directories, etc. to my Windows side, created a test
projector from there, and voila!
Thanks for the suggestion; I used to make that Xtra mistake a
LOT.

Urgent Flash help needed; Using Movie Clip Objects
Hello,
I am currently trying to design a small flash movie.
I have a "Movie Clip" object (a short animation) that i wish to act like a static object until a certain frame on the main Timeline.
Then i want it to play out, at it's own pace, just like normal, until it finishes (no looping)...
What do i need to put into, and where do i put it?
So in short, frame 30 of the main animation triggers the clip, whilst the main animation still runs...
I know very, very minimal AS3... so please, can someone help me?
A lot of solutions suggest a button, but I don't want to use a button, as it's not interactive - just a movie.
i just want the damn movie clip to play in the damn movie when it reaches frame 30! it shouldn't be that hard..There is most likely no need for any code. And most likely no need for a movieclip even.
It sounds like you would need a graphic symbol. (You can convert it in the library or you can just change the instance you have placed on stage.)
First select the symbol on its first keyframe and on the properties panel select the looping options and tell it single frame, first 1.
Then move along your timeline to where you want the animation to start playing. Add a keyframe. Now select Once, first 1.
Now it will start playing, you will be able to see it play as you scrub the timeline.
If you use movieclips and code for this, you won't be able to see them play together as you scrub the timeline. -
Need help converting quicktime movies into Flash files
I need to convert a QT, PhotoJPEG compressed, movie file into a .flv format. I have AE 6.5 Standard and it keeps quitting on exporting a SWV file which would could probably get me by with my client. But, again, it errors out saying something like a JPG is busy, or a file is busy.
I have FlipforMac,a purchased version. But I'm not sure if converting it into a .wmv and then a Flash file is the best route or is even possible.
Any suggestions or ideas of software that I could purchase??
~reickoi don't think you have read up on the use of flash video
(FLV). there's nothing you need that you do
not already have (except maybe quicktime pro or some other
video editing program). the FLV exporter
comes FREE with flash 8. You should be able to open your
quicktime movie in QT PRO and export to FLV
format - then use any of the flash playback components for
FLV files - best bet is to read the help
docs on this subject and go to the devnet section of
adobe.com where there are several in-depth
articles about implementing flash video into your site.

Need Your Help with Loading SWF into another Flash Movie!
Hello,
I have created TWO Flash movies. They work just fine
individually, but I get problem when I put one into another one!
The main Flash is a Menu and the second one if a Photo Album.
The Menu is series of animation (Moving Objects) which finally
comes into rest and create the menu. The photo album is another SWF
file which is called with in the first Flash Movie (The Menu). The
SWF file is loaded as follow into the Main Flash.
MovieClip.prototype.drawRect = function(x, y, w, h) {
this.beginFill(0xFF0000, 100);
this.moveTo(0, 0);
this.lineTo(0+w, 0);
this.lineTo(0+w, 0+h);
this.lineTo(0, 0+h);
this.lineTo(0, 0);
this.endFill();
this._x = x;
this._y = y;
this.createEmptyMovieClip("mc6", 6);
mc6.lineStyle (3, 0x000000, 100);
mc6.drawRect(-77, -17, 20, 20);
mc6._xscale = 100;
mc6._yscale = 100;
loadMovie("photoAlbum.swf", mc6);
Problem arises when I click on the Play Button of the
photoAlbum.swf (Photo Album) since the execution of the play button
causes the Flash starts once again from the beginning of the entire
Flash Movie (Beginning of the animation creating the menu) and it
simply jumps into the Firm One of my Flash Movie.
Could you tell me how I can isulate what is in layer 6 (Where
the photoAlbum is loaded to) from the rest of my Flash Movie?
I hope I managed to explain my problem. I would like to take
this opportunity to thank you in advance for your help.
Cheers,
BabakHello Anya,
I have realized the problem arises from the Wait Function
which causes the Photo Album to pause for a period of time (Two
Seconds) once a Photo is fully displayed (I have Fade in/out Photo
Album). I realized everything works OK once I remove the function
and rather left the Photos to be flipped without any pausing (This
is an Auto-loading Album which simply Flips the photos!).
Here is the Wait Function which is causing all the trouble.
function wait()
stop();
var myInterval = setInterval(function ()
play();
clearInterval(myInterval);
}, 2000);
Thank you so much for your help.
Cheers,
Babak -
Website Homepage flash movie, help

Adding link to Flash movie to HTML Help
I have to output the same help in both CHM and WebHelp, and I
have to include a Flash movie (SWF) in both versions. The only way
I've found to get a link to the Flash movie to work in the compiled
CHM is to add all the Flash files to the project as "baggage" and
then insert the link. Compiled CHM then includes the Flash files.
Is this the recommended approach? Is there an easier way?
Thanks,
melHi mel and welcome to our community
Indeed, adding to baggage will not hurt a thing and is
recommended. I recently published a second article dealing with
Flash content and RoboHelp that you may find useful. You may view

Variables into flash movie - Urgent help needed, please
I am hoping this is simple:
Here is my HTML code:
<param name="movie" value="orig2.swf" /><param
name=FlashVars VALUE="sname=video1.flv"><param name="quality"
value="high" /><param name="bgcolor" value="#ffffff" />
I need to pass video1.flv to the flash movie.
Here is the MOVIE data. I was told this is how to do it, but
I am sure it's missing something basic.
//insert sample link below
mediaDisplay.directLink = "
http://flash.xxx.com/flashgen.cgi?sname=&aname=xxxxxxxx/_definst_";
//pulls sname from param value in HTML
mediaDisplay.simplePlaylist = sname;
streamnameTxt.text = sname;
So, it should pull the SNAME variable from HTML and feed it
into player. If I type in SNAME variable and manually place it in
DirectLink line above, it works, but I need it to feed from HTML.
PLEASE HELP!!I know how to pass the variable TO flash, but how do I get
the FLASH movie to receive it??
Again, here is the code in the FLA file
//insert sample link below
mediaDisplay.directLink = "
http://flash.xxx.com/flashgen.cgi?sname=&aname=xxxxxxxx/_definst_";
//pulls sname from param value in HTML
mediaDisplay.simplePlaylist = sname;
streamnameTxt.text = sname;
