Movie clip slide show

Hello! I am placing the slide show template from Flash CS3
inside of a movie clip, but it is not working! I’ve exhausted
any ideas I had during the past 8 hrs! I’ve even tried using
other slide shows, but no luck! What I am trying to do is, once a
button is clicked from the home page (the site has only 1 scene), a
movie clip slides in, holding a slide show… Is this possible?
Would you be able to direct me to a tutorial or give me an idea of
what I am doing wrong?
I really appreciate your help!
Thanks!

I wasn't sure what was meant with the mention of a slideshow
template, but I finally figured it out I think... When you want to
open a new file in Flash CS3, the offerings at the far right
involve a number of templates, one of which is a slideshow
template. I opened it up, managed to open the timeline, and I don't
think it involves any kind of classes, none I could find anyways,
and it appears to be written in AS2.
So I imagine it would be useable as is. It's a basic frame by
frame piece, no dynamic loading. And it otherwise has all the
controls (buttons) that one would need, which could save some time
if tyou wanted to try to create your own.
It's possible there's just some error in how it was brought
in or something... I would just copy its maintimeline frames into a
movieclip in the new file and try to work it from there. One
potential problem is that because it is written in AS2, and it uses
_root references, it may not feel at home when it's placed in a
movieclip on its own. So you probably need to look into the code
and make some adjustments for that kind of stuff.
If the main file is an AS3 file, then you will need to change
the slideshow to AS3 as well if it's gonna live in the same file.
You could save it as a separate swf in AS2 and load it into an AS3
file during run time, but you still may need to modify the _root
references to be _parent types.

Go to sounds in system pref and select outputs. When the hdmi cable is plug into the tv it will show as an option under output. Just select that option.

Not all my movie clips are showing up on the stage or playing

II have 8 movie clips in 8 separate layers on my stage; they
are set to play one after the other. First problem - even though i
can see them all on the stage in my Flash document, when i test the
movie, only the first 5 clips are visible, and these are the only
ones that play through.
why aren't the other 3 even showing up??
i can upload the file if necessary...

i have been looking at yer FLA for 5 min and i have no idea
after looking at your codes and MC setup
why it wont work.
I copied just one of the offending images to a new FLA and
tested it and it works fine...have to get
back to some client projects but will return to your problem
later.

Movies in slide shows

Hi all-
I bought iLife '08 but haven't opened it yet; the main feature I picked it up for is to be able to simply drop a movie in between photo slides.
Well, I'm reading lots of bad stuff about the "upgrade" - is there any (easy) way to do this in 06?
It's a feature I really need...
By the way, I also own iLife '06, DVD Studio Pro (3.0.2) and Final Cut Express... I just love the ease of the iLife apps.
Any help appreciated!
thanks,
Andrew

I cannot seem to do the same in '06... if there is a way to do this in '06, please let me know.
Try accessing the photo via the "Media > Photo" menu. Clicking on a photo brings it into iMovie '06 as a "movie clip" and automatically applies a default KBE. You can, of course, modify the duration of this "clip" and/or make it static if you wish. When satisfied, simply press the "Apply" button on the palette or press the check mark in the viewer area lower right corner to add it to your timeline. How movies are added to your timeline depends on your preference settings in iMovie '06. If the import setting is "Add to Timeline" then drop imported files are added to the end of the timeline and can then be moved to a desired location in the normal manner. If the import is set to the "Clip" bin, then the drop imported files are add to the bin and can be simply moved from the bin to your desired location in the timeline. You can then add transitions, text, effects, etc. as desired.

AVI movie clips not showing up in browsers.

For years I have posted my travel pics and AVI movie clips on the web. Now I've updated to Quicktime 7.1.6 and the AVI will not load in a browser (IE or Firefox). The AVI pics will play if double clicked no my desktop. Any ideas?

IPhoto 9.6 - slideshow to movie - text slides show only text and no image

Made slideshow in iPhoto 9.6. Runs fine in slideshow mode on my iMac. However, when I export it to my desktop as a movie, slides that I inserted text via the text slide feature (bottom right of iPhoto) - black with the text only - lost the image. This happens on most of the text slides. followed similar procedure before w/ no issues.

Won't burn movie with slide show

I am having trouble burning the disc when I add a slideshow directly into iDVD. Everything goes well until it gets to the burn stage and then I keep getting the message:
"Multiplexer Error"
"There was an error during LayerBreak handling before formatting."
Does anyone have any idea what that means or what needs to be done to solve this problem?
Thanks

Need to transfer slide show/movie to my iMac

I created a slide show using iPhoto on my Mac Book Pro the slide show was converted into a movie file which I transferred to my iPad Air. The slide show is now in the movies section of my iPad. I need to share this slide show with 30 other people, but can't do so from the iPad, that option is not available. I also cannot transfer the movie to my iMac. What am I missing? With that said how can I transfer the movie file/slide show to my iMac so that I can share with others.
If you're thinking why don't I share via the Mac Book pro? My Mac Book Pro Mavericks partition on a dual boot system crashed.

Moving iPhoto slide show to iMovie

Using iPhoto, I created a slide show from a series of photos. I used the Ken Burns effect to add motion to the photos and got everything just right. I wanted to export or move the slide show to iMovie so I could add titles between certain of the photos in the slide show. I found an option to export to iDVD but not iMovie. Shouldn't I be able to move the slide show between iPhoto and iMovie? Eventually, I'll want to move my slide show from iMovie to iDVD, but I want to add the titles between the clips first. Does anyone have any advice regarding this matter?

Using iMovie HD 6, IMO it gives the user much better control over clips, stills and adding audio, you click on a still clip and then click on the Show photo settings button at the bottom of the Media pane. A translucent pane will come up where you can set the KB effect parameters.
TIP: For insurance against the iPhoto database corruption that many users have experienced I recommend making a backup copy of the Library6.iPhoto (iPhoto.Library for iPhoto 5 and earlier) database file and keep it current. If problems crop up where iPhoto suddenly can't see any photos or thinks there are no photos in the library, replacing the working Library6.iPhoto file with the backup will often get the library back. By keeping it current I mean backup after each import and/or any serious editing or work on books, slideshows, calendars, cards, etc. That insures that if a problem pops up and you do need to replace the database file, you'll retain all those efforts. It doesn't take long to make the backup and it's good insurance.
I've created an Automator workflow application (requires Tiger or later), iPhoto dB File Backup, that will copy the selected Library6.iPhoto file from your iPhoto Library folder to the Pictures folder, replacing any previous version of it. It's compatible with iPhoto 6 and 7 libraries and Tiger and Leopard. iPhoto does not have to be closed to run the application, just idle. You can download it at Toad's Cellar. Be sure to read the Read Me pdf file.≤br>
Note: There now an Automator backup application for iPhoto 5 that will work with Tiger or Leopard.

Help on iWeb or Slide Show

Hi All, Hoping I can get some guidance on a project. My cat died recently and we're creating a history of his life to announce to his family & friends. At first, I created a PowerPoint Presentation using Office Mac 2008. It came out great; 28 slides. One problem, it's 35 MB, so it is too large to attach to an e-mail; whether Yahoo or Gmail.
Next step was to reduce the size of the file, that did not work nor did compression: still too large. Oddly, I've received work PP Presentations far larger as e-mail attachments, but apparently Yahoo & Gmail have a 25MB per file limit.
So, I got the idea to export PPP as a movie. Yeah, hope. Hope dashed as movie large was still 31 MB, and if I go any smaller, no one in their right mind can see it.
So, then I thought to create as slide show in iPhoto, then export as movie. Ultimately, same issues with regard to size.
Now, I'm in iWeb thinking to create a web page to hold the movie or slide show. Well, the iMovie is greater than 10 MB and it won't drag into the iWeb movie page. Yet, I can drag in the slide show, but it appears on a photo page.
So, now I'm in iWeb, with a photo page, with all the slide pics in order. I clicked on the "play slideshow" to see how it would work, but it does not appear to work, unless I double click on one pic and then go each next pic using the "next" icon.
The last step would be to insert the music I had, but when in iWeb, I do "insert" go to "choose" the music list opens right up, pick the song. A new box opens and says "drag pic here." Only one pic will drag in, not all.
1) Is there an easier way to add running music to all the slides?
2) If so, can I time the music to each slide as I was able to do in iPhoto slide show suing "adjustments?"
3) Is there an easier way to simply accomplish what I'm trying to do, as this is getting maddening how you simply cannot post 28 small slides, most are pics.
Any feedback is welcomed,
Thanks

QTK & Old Toad,
Big Thanks Guys, it all worked out. I followed QTK when I was initially responding and began to understand how to make it work. I joined Mobile.me and uploaded my QuickTime Movie. Then gave it a trial run both at me.com & as if I was sending the link to others.
Yea! it worked! Old Toad, your additional info is great as I was giving thought to size and how some in the rural areas may not have fast connection speeds. My cuz in Missouri just watched it and said all was good.
What all this has taught me is certainly how to interact both MS Office Power Point ( I have MSOffice for Mac 2008) and iPhoto. I utilized PP to create a base slideshow, adding text to slides, sizing of the pictures, timing the music, etc., as PP appears to allow much more creativity & modifications, font colors, styles, etc. Then Export the PP Presentation as jpegs to a subfolder. Then import those jpegs into iPhoto to create the slideshow. While it was a process over a few days, it was well worth the learning. And, why some may roll their eyes and say "Ovey, he could have done it this simply" I feel empowered learning the long route as I usually can visualize the concept and flow, but sometimes have weaker skills on the computing side.
Again, much thanks!!!!!

Made slide show from iPhotos then......help

it worked well. So saved it. Then wanted to give to friend as photos of holiday.
1. What is best way to do this so she can play on tv?
2. I tried transfering to USB - but don't have stick big enough?
3. Then tried making into Imovie - can you move a slide show into iMovie? If so how?
4. Then finally turned into quicktime movie so .mov but that won't play on tv either, so what do I do?
5. I then thought if I saved as home movies on Itunes it might work....but she can't access it as neither of us use cloud.
6. Now have triples of various slide shows in iPhotos under slide shows, Quicktime Movies, and Itunes - does this mean I am using more space on my computer? Which ones do I delete? Tis scary guys......
If anyone has answers to any of the above I would really appreciate your help. Thanking you. My MacBook Pro doesn't have dvd drive on it.
Thanks,
Belinda

What is best way to do this so she can play on tv?
There is no simple way to answer this because there are so many TVS with so many different options and specs out there these days.
As for sharing it to her: simplest is upload it to YouTube or Vimeo.

Goto a new frame and stop the current movie clip?

In cs5.5, I have a frame with a movie clip on it. When a user clicks a button, I want the movie clip to stop and the user to be directed to another frame. It is correctly redirecting to a different frame, however, the movie clip is still on the stage and playing. How can I modify the following code to make it not just go to a different frame, but also stop the movie clip that is on that frame from playing?
btn_1.addEventListener(MouseEvent.CLICK, fl_ClickToGoToAndStopAtFrame);
function fl_ClickToGoToAndStopAtFrame(event:MouseEvent):void
          gotoAndStop(10);

That worked, it stopped the movie clip, however, the movie clip still shows on other frames. How do I modify the code to not only stop the movie clip but to make it disappear on the other frames?
Thanks!
btn_1.addEventListener(MouseEvent.CLICK, fl_ClickToGoToAndStopAtFrame);
function fl_ClickToGoToAndStopAtFrame(event:MouseEvent):void
          movieClipInstanceName.stop();
          gotoAndStop(10);

Center a dynamically generated movie clip

Hello,
I have created an empty movie clip in the root, I load
dynamically some jpg to the empty movie clip, but now I want to
center it and I can't :(
I have this code, it centers the movie clip but on the
registration point of 0,0 not in the middle of the movie clip so
the movie clip will show up nice and centered.

use:
imageholder_mc._x = Stage.width - imageholder_mc._width / 2;
EDIT: lmao kg :)

Add movie clip in a New Native Window

Dear Friends,
i have created an air application, which open a new window on
click of a button and load the movie clip or a scroll pane with
some items in it. it is working fine but the size is very big than
the actual size of the movie clip. it shows like zoomed picture. it
looks odd and i got sturck up. please help me to show the correct
size of the scroll pane which i added (i used --
nativewindow.stagge.addchild) in native window.
Thanks and advance,
Rahimhaji

You must set the stage scaleMode property to noScale. (If you
want to use one of the other scale modes -- even though there are
better ways to achieve the same end in AIR, see the " About Stage
properties" section of:
http://www.adobe.com/devnet/air/flex/quickstart/launching_windows.html
The article is about a Flex application, but the stage
properties section applies equally to Flash. )

Formats for movie clip used in PSE 4 slide show

Still finding it difficult to find documentation of what formats are supported for using digital camera movie clips in PSE 4 slide show.
The movie file from my Canon camera is 640 x 480, 30 fps Motion JPEG and has a .AVI extension. I am able to use it "as is" in a PSE 4 slide show. However, sometimes I need to trim the movie clip in Windows Movie Maker 2 in order to keep only the best part.
My question is what parameters can I specify to save my movie clip in Movie Maker 2 so that I can use it as a movie clip in a Photoshop Elements 4 slide show that will be saved as a WMV file?

Karin Sue,
>Also, are the projects saved in a folder somewhere, or only as part of the Catalog?"
The definition of the "project", which is the "Creation" in Organizer terms is saved only in the Catalog.
>If you publish your creation as a pdf or wmv they are saved in the folder you designate. Once published, I don't believe there is any way to edit. If you save the creation, you can go back and edit and republish if you like.
Yes, the WMV or PDF file is saved in the folder that you designate. You are correct that if you save the Creation, you can go back and re-edit. When you Save the Creation gets a thumbnail within the Organizer photo well and you can click on the thumbnail to go back in to the Creation process make modifications and save a new WMV or PDF file.
Note: that the Save window documents that the PDF choice does not support some options such as Pan and zoom, videos, and certain transitiions.
