How to decide flash page dimensions

Hi All:
I am facing lot of confusions in deciding the exact page size
of the flash. I am doing hit and trial to set the html page every
time.
Can any one help me in deciding the page size?
Case 1: My client requirement is to develop the course in
full screen.
I set the flash dimentions as 1016 x 678 as there will be top
browser top and bottom bar and opened the course in the fullscreen
using javascript.
Case 2: In some other course requirement is 1024 x 768 there
also I used the 1016 x 678 to avoide the scrollbars.
Are there any standards available to avoid scrollbars?
I will appreciate your help.
Thanks in advance.
Best Regards
Razzak
Thanks

I would say make it scalable... so that no matter the size of
the screen, it's always going to fit. Then you can make your actual
FLA stage something like 780 x 480 (which is about the viewing area
for an 800 x 600 monitor resolution).
You might also consider doing position relative components...
so that someone on a bigger monitor will see "more" than someone on
a small one.
Here's
a thread talking about that.
We have examples of both types of scaling on our site.

How relink a flash page to other page???

I created a flash page to use like my intro or index.html- in
my site. How can I relink this page to my home.html??
I hope you can help me?

Well, you can try
navigateToURL(<URLRequest>) in AS3, or
getURL("<homePage>") in AS2... But I don`t know if
that`s what you`re looking for...

How do YOU organize pages, create a site map, and use hyperlinks?

I had to get out of bed to bring this up with you all; I couldn't stop thinking about this next learning curve. It is: How shall I organize the topics I have in my website? One extreme is to have all of the topics showing in all of the nav bars at the top of all the pages. The opposite extreme is ............ I cannot truly visualize it.
I think that the big obstacle for me is that i don't want to hide any pages so well, so slickly, that they can be found only by the most focused and persistent website visitor. I can see how some pages could be lost to a lot of casual website viewers.
On the other hand, there are some pages that are natural groups. In my case, the U.B.R.O.L. group is that. It is made up of five people and me. I have one page for a photo slideshow which has one photo of each of us, but then I have a separate page for Nigel and his photos, a separate page for Vali and her long bio and photos, and a separate page for Helen, her short bio and her many photos.
Tonight I tried making hierarchies using hyperlinks, so that U.B.R.O.L. shows up in the Site Menu, but Nigel, Vali, Helen, and Peggy do not show up. To get to their photos, one would have to click onto the U.B.R.O.L. group page. Once at the U.B.R.O.L. page, one can then click onto Vali's, Nigel's, and Helen's page, and then from each of their pages there are 3 hyperlinks: one to return to U.B.R.O.L., and three more hyperlinks to click onto the others who have personal pages. (Peggy does not have a personal page because she is shy and never gave me more photos or a bio of herself. She prefers anonymity.)
But even though I put those hyperlinks on those pages, I am having an internal concept war, my friends, and a solution is not at hand.
I am thinking of how I am going to deal with the pages made for me, my husband, and my husband and I together.
I cannot imagine clearly how a Site Menu would look at the topmost level and much less of an idea how each page would look several levels down.
I welcome any direction you could send my way. I would like to know how you organized your pages, how you decided which pages would not be listed in the nav bar, and what you did to/with the pages that were not listed in the nav bar.
Would you please send me the URL of your website so that I can SEE what you are talking about? I am not good at imagining what people say; I have to see it rather than imagine it.
Lorna in Southern California

Lorna, mostly from reading books, Iearned the following things.
•Don't make me think (actually the title of an excellent book on webdesign)
•Every information should be available in at most 3 clicks
•Tell them where they are, where they can go and where they have been.
IMHO, iWeb lends itself fairly well for these last 2 criteria. The Navbar is a very useful tool and I suggest you do not go too far away from it.
On my current issue of the toy theatre magazine (which is NOT a beautiful website) I wanted to go in 3 languages; English, German and Dutch. I knew i was courting disaster but one can be so ambitious. This in fact meant that I had to do 3 sites. Sites being defined as a group of pages structurally belonging to each other.
So I made an Index/Splash page with a nice picture, a title and 3 flags. These being links to the 3 versions. (I did not want to make them think on the Splashpage).
Clicking a flag brings the visitor to a Contents page on their version of the site. Just like the Contents page in a book. Here they can choose to go to any of the items and on each and every page of the site is a Contents button that returns them there.
Pages are numbered in the middle of the website, and to the leftside the number of (and link to) the previous page and to the right the same for the next page.
The current issue is number 25, ( http://www.vischmarktpapierentheater ), the previous 24 were done in Freeway and the design stems from there.
The translation to iWeb did work well but in the end the result was disappointing mostly because I wanted some slideshows, hated the "None .Mac accounts" version and went overboard with Keynote slideshows, really ugly.
The other problem stems from the triple language idea. This meant that I had to do either 3 versions of each slideshow, or make one version accessible for every language. This menat some convoluted linking which I will never do again.
In short If you want to go "deep", make various sites and link each starting page to you Index/Splash, keep the starting pages of each site on the Navbar Make a Contents sidebar or something like that on each of the starting pages, and than you can go anywhere within the required 3 clicks.
Good Luck

How to put Flash video game onto inDesign PDF file and Website page or link?!

I am making a video game using Adobe Flash 2.0. I need to be able to show what I have through a website (my portfolio) and/or insert it into an interactive Indesign PDF file. The game needs to be able to be played and be used and tested by whoever I send the pdf file to, or whoever is would be view my the site I post it on. I have attempted many different ways to put my game onto my website (cargocollective) and Indesign, but nothing is working! I need help.
For example I need my game to be placed on the website page, and on the pdf document as an image. When it is clicked on I need it to start so people can play the game. I don't know how to do this and I would really love and need to know how! Thanks.

Flash should be able to publish an html page which will provide the web page code needed for embedding the swf. The page it publishes should be sufficient for planting on a server unless you plan to dress it up with other content as well.
As far as incorporating Flash content into a PDF using InDesign goes, you are best to ask questions about using InDesign in the InDesign forum. Here is a link to the Overview page whee you can pick which forum applies best to your situation:

How do I incorporate video that EVERYONE can see? Quicktime redirect to Flash page???

I created a website for my video production company using Dreamweaver 8 (http://www.playroomcreative.com/production.html). I have average web design knowledge.
The sample videos of my work are all MP4 (H.264/AAC) which is compatible with Quicktime and Flash, however I am using JW Flash Player on my website because most people have Flash installed on their computers. I even have a message that prompts people to download the newest version of Flash when the video doesn’t appear.
My question is; what do I do about people that use iphones and ipads that can’t run Flash?
I would assume that I should change the way I have it now and put a Quicktime video embedded page FIRST, then use the “Check Plugin” Dreamweaver behavior to detect if they don’t have Quicktime and redirect them to the Flash video page. Then, if they don’t have the proper version of Flash they will be prompted to upgrade.
If I did it the opposite way (Flash page first that redirects to a Quicktime page when no Flash plugin is found) than the Flash page would never have a chance to offer it’s upgrade prompt if the user doesn’t have the proper version Flash.
Am I approaching this the right way?
Is there a better way (besides the use of YouTube or Vimeo type video hosting sites)?
Thanks in advance!

Merge jpgs into a single pdf, but page dimensions? how to set...?

I have merged a number of jpgs into a single pdf but for some reason it ends up being a strange page dimension - 23.6 in x 30.6 in. The jpgs were saved at a resolution so that they might print an 8.5 x 11 at 200 dpi. Is there a place you can set these dimensions? I know it is quite easy to still make it print on a letter sized sheet but the ppl who I am sending the dosument to might be thrown off by the dimensions.

I had a difficult time finding the answer on the web. Finally found a forum with my answer to share with others facing the same issue. Last entry worked for me.

How to embed Flash .flv video?

Hello guys,
I am wondering, is there any way how to embed Flash video onto my web page?
And regarding QT video template on iWeb's Movie page, can I drag any kind of QT ? Like H.264 QT for example, or is it just for Mpeg2 QT?
Thank you so much for any advise.

What is your video codec you are working with? NTSC (and PAL) DV is about 13 gigs/hr uncompressed. When you export your QT movie from your editing application and convert the file to flv you are compressing the video at that time with a determined bit rate and video dimension. quality and file size comes down to math. File size = bit rate x movie length. Quality is bit rate in relation to dimension. Surprisingly enough the recommended video encoder for flv is Flash Video Encoder application that comes with Flash. Sorenson Squeeze is arguably the best flv video encoder. Visual Hub is not recommended if quality and efficiency is desired. Flash Player is a browser plug-in that that allows web visitors to view Flash videos on your website from their web browse. Most already have Flash player installed and you can insert a script that checks to see if the visitor has Flash player installed and if it doesn't a window will appear informing the visitor that they are required to instal the Flash Player in order to view Flash content on your website. A URL is also provided to direct the visitor to the Flash Player download page. Insert this script into the <head></head> of your site:
<script type="text/javascript">
function MM_CheckFlashVersion(reqVerStr,msg){
with(navigator){
var isIE = (appVersion.indexOf("MSIE") != -1 && userAgent.indexOf("Opera") == -1);
var isWin = (appVersion.toLowerCase().indexOf("win") != -1);
if (!isIE || !isWin){
var flashVer = -1;
if (plugins && plugins.length > 0){
var desc = plugins["Shockwave Flash"] ? plugins["Shockwave Flash"].description : "";
desc = plugins["Shockwave Flash 2.0"] ? plugins["Shockwave Flash 2.0"].description : desc;
if (desc == "") flashVer = -1;
else{
var descArr = desc.split(" ");
var tempArrMajor = descArr[2].split(".");
var verMajor = tempArrMajor[0];
var tempArrMinor = (descArr[3] != "") ? descArr[3].split("r") : descArr[4].split("r");
var verMinor = (tempArrMinor[1] > 0) ? tempArrMinor[1] : 0;
flashVer = parseFloat(verMajor + "." + verMinor);
// WebTV has Flash Player 4 or lower -- too low for video
else if (userAgent.toLowerCase().indexOf("webtv") != -1) flashVer = 4.0;
var verArr = reqVerStr.split(",");
var reqVer = parseFloat(verArr[0] + "." + verArr[2]);
if (flashVer < reqVer){
if (confirm(msg))
window.location = "http://www.adobe.com/shockwave/download/download.cgi?P1ProdVersion=ShockwaveFlash";
</script>
Then replace <body> with this:
<body onload="MM_CheckFlashVersion('9,0,0,0','Content on this site requires the latest version of Adobe Flash Player. Do you want to download it now?');">
Beginning with Flash Player 9 h.264 QT movies are now supported for playback. Simply change the file extension from .m4v to .flv to convert the h.264 video to Flash video that can be viewed from Flash Player 9+ on a web browser.
hope that helps!

How do I prevent Pages from changing earlier parts of a document when I am in an 8 page newsletter. Going back to check something and items are jumbled up!

How can I stop Pages from changing parts of a document when I am progressing through an 8 page newsletter. When I go back to check something some headings have moved and been put out of context. I can't lock the individual pages of the document to prevent this happening.

The Amazon iWork '09 is a DVD in a boxed set.
Downloading is transferring something from the Internet.
I think you are talking about not having a DVD drive?
To install the DVD version, either get an external USB DVD drive, they are cheap on eBAy or borrow another computer and drag the iWork Installer onto a USB Flash Drive and install from that.

How can I get page 2 in the same format?

I have just completed the first sheet in Numbers, and I would like to know how to bring up successive sheets in the same format.
To get the first sheet, I went to:
Numbers
File
New from template chooser
Blank
Now I have filled that sheet and would like to continue with sheet 2.
I tried clicking on Sheet in the toolbar, but got a very small sheet, not full size.
Thanks for the help.

Depending on how your margins are set and the height of your table rows, you will get some number of rows per page. Your only control of where the pages break is with those controls. Margin setting is a Sheet Property and can't be changed page by page, but if there's a particular row that you want to end a page with, just increase the height of that last row until the rows below pop to the next page.
If you have a Header Row, you can ask it to repeat at the top of each page, so you don't have to manually repeat the column headings.
Knowing how to easily change the dimensions of a table, in rows and columns, is amongst the basic stuff covered in the Numbers User Guide. You can get it from the Help Menu. A good read on a Winter's evening.

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 to Edit Flash Symbol in Photoshop?

In Flash CS4, I have a graphic of a long filmstrip with 24 pix in it. I need to edit the symbol in photoshop (to put all new pix in), and then replace the current filmstrip with the new filmstrip. How? This is CS4, not CS5.

Add an image to a folder with your fla, image folder(with image inside) and then re import image to stage again then try 'EDIT' the file!
