Help with linking to Flash/HTML created by Keynote

Not sure if this has been asked before.
I have created a website using iweb www.compliancetoday.co.uk
I have now created a keynote presentation which I have exported to Flash. This created a swf and a html file. Of course the swf looks lousy on its own but the html linking to it looks great on my desktop (both files are in a folder). My problem is this.
I am trying to create a page in my iweb site that will have a hyperlink which will load the swf for viewing. I have tried doing it in iweb but the hyperlink doesn't work - meaning that it keeps unticking the make hyperlink active button. (I have been publishing to local folder to make sure it works first).
Any help would be appreciated.

Export to SWF has been dropped in the latest version of Keynote. I guess one of the reasons was that the 3D transitions would not translate to flash.
My two work arounds can be seen here.....

Here's a flash animation I made in Keynote '08, exported in SWF format and the code I used....

Help with links in flash :(

Hi,
I am pretty new to flash and I am making a webpage. I can not
get any of the nav links to work properly. The links are buttons
and they have up and over states. The rollovers are working fine.
The buttons have tweens on the on the main timeline because they
fall into the frame. On the last frame I go into the actions and
apply the "stop" action first, then I apply the get URL action and
type in the website URL in the script assist. When I export to swf
the rollover works but when I click on the button nothing
happens....
What am I doing wrong?????

I think so, before get URL it says on (release)
Is that right?
It is working when I export to swf but when I place the swf
file into dreamweaver and preview in browser nothing happens when I
click the buttons... :(

I need Help with a website I've created

I need help with a website I've created (www.jonathanhazelwood.com/lighthouse) I created the folowing site with dreamweaver at my current resolution 1366 by 768. Looks great on my screen resolution but if it is viewed on other resolutions the menu moves and some of the text above and below. How can I keep all content centered and working like it does on 1366 by 768 on all resolutions. The htm to my site is below I started off with a blank template through dreamweaver CS5.

Look at all the apdiv's you have. Those are absolutely positioned layers. I'm assuming by your post that you are very new to Dreamweaver and HTML and CSS. I would highly recommend not using absolutely positioned layers until you have a better grasp on HTML and CSS.
Looking at your code I would suggest that you consider using one of Dreamweaver's built in, or downloadable templates as a starting point and work from there.

Help with a scrolling flash panel

Hello, Ive used the excellent tutorial to create a scrolling thumb panel (http://library.creativecow.net/articles/brimelow_lee/scrolling_thumbnail_panel/video-tutor ial.php)
It works brilliantly and I have movie thumbs linking to a flash player. It all works fine, what Im needing help with is to change the scrolling.
At current it scrolls up and down according to where I have set the 'line', I would like it to scroll up and down near the top and the bottom, rather than all the time (effectively creating a dead zone in the middle). I cant figure out how to change the code to get this to behave as required.
Please Help!
Below is the code used:
panel.onRollOver = panelOver;
function panelOver() {
this.onEnterFrame = scrollPanel;
delete this.onRollOver;
var b = stroke.getBounds(_root);
function scrollPanel() {
if(_ymouseb.yMax || _xmouseb.xMax) {
this.onRollOver = panelOver;
delete this.onEnterFrame;
if(panel._y >= 278) {   //FIRST BUTTON 'Y' POSITION
panel._y = 278;
if(panel._y <= -177) { //CHANGE '229' TO THE 'Y' POSITION OF THE LAST BUTTON IN THE 'PANEL' MOVIE, POSITIONED VISIBLE WITHIN THE BOARDERS.
panel._y = -177;
var ydist = _ymouse - 251; //POSITION ON STAGE OF UP/DOWN SCROLLING 'LINE'
panel._y += -ydist / 150;   //SPEED OF SCROLLING (LOWER = HIGHER)

use:
panel.onRollOver = panelOver;
function panelOver() {
this.onEnterFrame = scrollPanel;
delete this.onRollOver;
var b = stroke.getBounds(_root);
function scrollPanel() {
if(_ymouseb.yMax || _xmouseb.xMax) {
this.onRollOver = panelOver;
delete this.onEnterFrame;
if(panel._y >= 278) {   //FIRST BUTTON 'Y' POSITION
panel._y = 278;
if(panel._y <= -177) { //CHANGE '229' TO THE 'Y' POSITION OF THE LAST BUTTON IN THE 'PANEL' MOVIE, POSITIONED VISIBLE WITHIN THE BOARDERS.
panel._y = -177;
var ydist = _ymouse - 251; //POSITION ON STAGE OF UP/DOWN SCROLLING 'LINE'
if(_ymouse>lowerY || _ymouse<upperY){
if((_ymouse>lowerY){
ydist=_ymouse-lowerY; // define lowerY
} else {
ydist=_ymouse-upperY; // define upperY
} else {
ydist=0;
panel._y += -ydist / 150;   //SPEED OF SCROLLING (LOWER = HIGHER)

Need Help with Linking Question

Not quite sure how to do this.
I have a gallery page of thumbnails that I want to reference
a different layout page for the individual image.
What I want to happen is, when you click the thumbnail on the
thumbnail gallery page, a new layout page opens in the same browser
window with that thumbnails larger image. I know how to link the
new .html page , or the larger image, But I don't know how to link
them both so they both open?
I have many images and pages of thumbnails that I have to do
this with.
Thanks for any help

> a new layout page opens in the same browser window
You want the new page to replace the current page in the
browser viewport?
> But I don't know how to link them both so they both
open?
I guess I don't understand what "both" is?

Link ancher flash-html

im building a website in HTML but i made the menu in Flash.
I would like to know what is the code to ancher link the
flash menu to different parts of the page.
The site it has to be mainly made in html.
I wrote this in the html code: <a name="print">
and this in the button flash menu : on (release) {
getURL("#print");
With no luck

Yes, use on getURL me,data. Attach a behavior to the Flash
sprite that looks something like this:
property thisSprite
on beginSprite me
thisSprite = me.spriteNum
end
on getURL me,data
gotoNetPage data
end
Flash expects to be wrapped in a browser window. When that
same Flash swf is inside a Director movie, there is no browser to
communicate with, so the getURL method fails. Director can take the
string that you send from Flash and use it in a gotoNetPage method.
Be sure to include the network xtras with your
projector.

Help with linking Keynotes

Hey, I am using Keynote 2. Any help with this issue would be greatly appreciated, this is what I've got. . . . . I want to have one Keynote presentation that I use as a sort of Table of Contents and create links to other keynotes that I will be using on any given night. I have the link working fine, but when the linked keynote gets to the last slide the presentation ends, I want it to go back to my contents slide. This is how powerpoint does it. Any suggestions???

Welcome to the discussions, Amaj10.
No, Keynote doesn't work that way. If you want a link back to your contents, you need to place a link on the last slide that will link you to the contents presentation.

MAC OS 10.6.8 Using Safari 5.1 Needing Help With Updating Adobe Flash

Hello-
Recently Adobe Flash installed an icon in my System Preferences and when I click the icon there are several tabs. One allows updates to check automatically. It says it will install the latest version of Flash without having to remove the previous version, but I have never been told that a newer version is available unless I clcik "check now." although "Check for updates automatically" is checked, I do not know where it tells me a newer version is available. Also, there has been 5 "newer versions" available since this icon was installed in System Prefeences, I have only found out about the newer versions when I clicked "Check Now." If I read that with this new way to install the latest Mac version of Flash does not require me to uninstall the previous version of Flash how do I install the most recent version of Flash? Does it come in an email?
Since it is not telling me that there is a more recent version of Flash unless I click "Check Now" should I still do it the way I used to install the latest version of flash? (The way before this icon was added to System Preferences)?
I would appreciate help with updating Flash to the most recent version. I used to uninstall the older version, restart the browser and download the most recent version and install it. It always worked find but this was before there was an Adobe icon in my system Preferences.

Hello,
The way you used to do this (uninstall, restart the browser, etc.) is still definitely valid and probably the "safest" way to get a new version installed. Uninstalling shouldn't be required, but it definitely doesn't hurt. If you feel comfortable doing it the old way, please feel free to continue using that process.
As for notifications, this is a bit trickier, but in general you should be notified within 30 days (or so) after a new player is released. This usually occurs when the browser loads swf content. Clicking the button will, like you mention, immediately check. Another alternative to finding out when a new player is released is to subscribe to our Flash Player Releases feed.
Is there a way to be automatically notified when a new Flash Runtime release is made?
Thanks,
Chris

Help with validation on a manually created tabbed form

version 4.1.1.00.23
Hello,
I have a manually created tabbed form that I'm having trouble creating validation on.
The page is a Resource Staffing page where PM's can forecast the Resources that will be needed for various projects. The forecast can be for 12 - 18 months.
The requirement is to display a message to the user if they are trying to save a row without forecasting any time. It's possible they may not know how may Resources or the length of time needed when the row is created. If they respond that they want to save the row without time the MRU will create the record. If they answer that they do not want to save the row they are returned to the page without loss of information.
The month fields on the page are defaulting to 0 (zero).
I've updated the Save button to Redirect to URL and in the URL Redirect I have: javascript:confirmNoTimeSaved()
The javascript:
[code]

            doSubmit('SUBMIT');
            break;
</script>
<script language="VBScript">

</script>
[/code]
The 'CANCEL2' is just a Branch I'm using to branch back to the page without clearing Cache. I do have 'Cancel' button on the page and the Branch created for that clears the Cache.
While debugging the javascript I get into the VB Script on the testVal = MsgBox(isTxt,vbYesNo,isCaption) line and the browser crashes.
Can someone help with this requirement?
What additional information can I provide?
Thanks,
Joe

The code above is my attempt at this requirement, however, the browser crashes when it gets to the VBScript on the MsgBox call. I don't have to use this approach. Does someone have an idea how to solve this?
Thanks,
Joe

Help with linking files

I have several projects with 1000's of little clips in them- that have become unlinked- normally I can just use link media and that resolves it, but it seems like there has been either name changes to them (numbering in project panel seems different) or pathway to my ext hard drive has changed-help appreciated!!!

Are you on a Mac, or a PC?
If PC, what OS version do you have?
The easiest way to find out exactly how your version of Windows sets drive letters is to go to Help, then type in "drive letter," without the quotation marks in the query box. You will then get all references to drive letter, and choose Setting Drive Letter, or similar syntax. That will step you through the process, and probably even provide a link to the disc management utility for your version.
If you are on a Mac, then it would be Volume Name, but I cannot help with anything more than that, being a PC-only guy.
Good luck,

Help with linked files/ compound paths please

Hi - I am working with an illustrator file from another designer which has a compound path with linked files - when you link a new file the image is automatically resized and clipped to the path. I am able to edit it but i want to make my own from scratch and can't figure it out. I'm working with Illustrator CS6. Any help greatly appreciated. Thanks

Hi Steve - thanks for the reply - my question was a bit vague as I wasn't entirely sure what I was working with but I think your point about the new linked image scaling to the same size as the existing file has helped me understand it a bit more. What I want to know how to do is to make an entirely new file with a clipping mask that I then link an image to. I made a file with a clipping mask on the page and then chose file>place but the image I import is not being clipped (I ticked the link option when importing it) I see it working with the existing file I'm working with but I need to know how to make a new one myself.
If this makes it clearer here's what I want to do ...
I am making a banner, I have 3 flat jpegs of t-shirts that I want to place on the banner without their white background. I made a clipping mask the same shape as the outline of the t-shirt and now I want to import the jpeg so it is a linked file and is clipped by the clipping mask and so I can use it in future to import different t-shirt image in without scaling and clipping them each time.
REally appreciate your help, thanks.

Help with linking buttons to Scenes

Hey,
Rookie to Flash and AS3. Just needed some help with my buttons. Im making a flash program about pancakes (random I know). I have a "Mainmenu" scene and then a "Recipe" scene. I have a button on my mainmenu which takes me to the recipe page when I click it, the code behind the button is
"stop();btn_recipe.addEventListener(MouseEvent.MOUSE_DOWN, mouseDownHandler);function mouseDownHandler(event:MouseEvent):void {
gotoAndStop(1, "Recipe");
Then when I arrive at my recipe page I have a button which will take me back to my MainMenu, the code behind that button is:
"stop();btn_home.addEventListener(MouseEvent.MOUSE_DOWN, mouse5DownHandler);function mouse5DownHandler(event:MouseEvent):void {
gotoAndPlay(1, "MainMenu");
So I run my program and the first button works and takes me to recipe page but the button to get to the main menu does nothing, click it and no response or anything
Please help

First, hopefully having all your code mushed onto the same line is a copy/paste error, otherwise it should look like...
stop();
btn_recipe.addEventListener(MouseEvent.MOUSE_DOWN, mouseDownHandler);
function mouseDownHandler(event:MouseEvent):void {
     gotoAndStop(1, "Recipe");
If the intention is to click the buttons to make them work, then you should use CLICK instead of MOUSE_DOWN. MOUSE_DOWN can be a persistent state whereas CLICK involves releasing it afterwards.
As for the code to get you back home, where is it located on the timeline? Are you getting any error messages when you try to use it?
One thing you should learn to use is the trace() function. It is useful for troubleshooting. You can use it now to see if your second button is talking to the function at all...
stop();
btn_home.addEventListener(MouseEvent.CLICK, mouse5DownHandler);
function mouse5DownHandler(event:MouseEvent):void {
     trace("the button works okay");
     gotoAndPlay(1, "MainMenu");
If you don't get that message in the output panel, you'll know the button is not properly coded to work.
Most folks here will recommend you get away from using scenes in a design that includes navigation--they have a history of being problematic. Instead of using scenes, divide the one main timeline up into sections or use movieclips for the sections and manage their visibility... or do a bit of both.
