My first CS3 Flash animation in iWeb is done: Feedback pls!

http://www.padmehum.de
It is pretty straight forward. With html snippet i made the page home.hmtl point Banner.html which i had created with CS3 Flash earlier.
Unfortunately the public IE computer i used to check cross plattform tolarency failed to run the flash part. As it was a public computer with very restricted accounts i couldn't check if the computer had Adobe Flash Player installed or not. According to Adobe Flash Player website Flash player should run on 98% worldwide. Can someone check my site with IE pls. and give feedback.

Importing Flash Animations Into iWeb...

I noticed that in the few days I have had the privilege of using iWeb, I have noticed that Flash animations that I have created only show up as links on the page, and not actual Flash animations (meaning, when wanting to show the Flash animations on a website, they only show up as a small link, and don't automatically run on the website....
So, my question is this: Does iWeb support Flash animations? If so, how do you import them into iWeb without them simply showing up as links? Thanks in advance for your swift response....

Just any theme download from a site is not enough. The 3rd party themes must be designed specifically for iWeb and, as such, should have an installer included.
Otherwise, start with either the white, black, or formal themes and use graphic files from those themes to create a custom design.

Video quality of Flash animation in iWeb

I'm inserting a flash movie (html snippet) into my iweb 08 site, but the resolution of the video is not as high as the original .swf file. This is my workflow:
-Go to LiveType and create a scrolling banner.
-Export the movie, then open it in Compressor and encode it with a different format. I do this because I've noticed that some of my LiveType animations don't play in my website if I don't encode them properly. I don't have to do this for any of my regular video files.
-Once I have the video file created, I use Visual Hub to create the .swf (flash) file.
-When I open the .swf file, the quality of the video animation is perfect.
-Then I create the html snippet in iweb 08 by copying and pasting the necessary code to make Flash work.
When I upload my site I can see some degradation in the quality of the video animation. Is not much but it is there... Has anyone seen this before? Is there a workaround for this?

I don't know that much about PC's, but you need to open the browser and click on the preferences, I think in the same way as you would do with a Mac and click on select javascript.
Rather than Firefox, get them to download a copy of Safari for PC from the Apple site.
Other than this I am not really sure of a solution, other than telling them to buy a Mac instead!!

Flash Animation In IWeb Site Not Showing Up In Internet Explorer

I have created a site for a company and used a flash file on one of the pages. The flash file does not open when looked at from a computer using Internet Explorer, which happens to be the client. Please advise on some possible solutions (besides using IE). Thanks!

How to link flash animations in dreamweaver 8

Hey everyone i have been trying to learn dreamweaver 8, flash
8, and others in a short time. My question is,
I am trying to create a website in dreamweaver 8 but i am
having trouble making a link to another page of the site out of the
flash animation once it's done. I can't find a option for that
anywhere, I was able to link the table in which the animation sits
but it does nothing. For now i just have the word ENTER below the
animation so the rest of the site can be viewed.
here's the link to the site where the animation first page is
www.fatcatzcreative.com
I have spent days trying to figure this out and being the
typical man i have finally broken down and am askin for help.
Thanks in advance to all.

HTML cannot link Flash.
If you want links in Flash, you will have to edit the Flash
file's
actionscript and add the links there.

Flash Animation - How

Can someone direct me to the best way to include flash animation to iWeb? Are there web sites I could visit or research?
Thanks.....MacP

Upload your flash file to a folder on your server and use an iFrame to display it on your website.
Here's an example of a SWF file in an iFrame.

Using a flash animated header in iWeb, possible?

Hey guys, I have a flash header that has some animations in it and was hoping I could use it in iWeb. After playing around, I can't figure it out.
I have searched too, but only see how to add videos.
Anyone know if I can actually import and use a flash header with animations in iweb?
Thanks

Welcome to the Apple Discussions. Yes you can. Just put the flash file on the server and link to it via an HTML snippet. This tutorial site, Artotems Flash in iWeb has a lot about that. I have a swf file (made with Pages 08) on thistest page that was embedded with an HTML Snippet and this code:
<object classid="clsid:d27cdb6e-ae6d-11cf-96b8-444553540000"
codebase="http://download.macromedia.com/pub/shockwave/cabs/flash/swflash.cab#ve rsion=6,0,40,0"
width="390" height="295"
id="mymoviename">
<param name="movie"
value="http://homepage.mac.com/MMeAccountName/.Pictures/WelcomeTH4.swf"/>
<param name="quality" value="high" />
<PARAM name="CONTROLLER" VALUE="true">
<embed src="" />
<param" quality="high" bgcolor="#ffffff"
width="390" height="295"
name="mymoviename" align="" type="application/x-shockwave-flash"
pluginspage="http://www.macromedia.com/go/getflashplayer">
</embed>
In this case I have the swf file in my iDisk's Pictures folder. If you'd like to put it in the Movies folder just change the .Pictures to .Movies.
Artotems' site has other types of flash code you can use depending on your flash file.

Is Flash animation possible in iWeb?

I've tried dragging .swf files I made in Keynote into iWeb, but they just show up in a movie player and not a self playing animation. It wouldn't even show the transitions I made. Has anyone figured out if it's even possible to add Flash?
Maybe in March a Pro version of iWeb will debut along with the other new Universal Pro Apps. Here's hopin'. Other than that, iWeb is pretty dang cool.
<http://web.mac.com/archstanton1862/iWeb/TrickRacing>

I'm not privy to the details and deals made between Macromedia (now Adobe) that allowed QuickTime 4 play Flash version 3 formats. The QT 5 allowed version 4 of Flash. And, 6 allowed Flash 5. Seems they were always one version number behind.
QuickTime 7 can't open Flash published higher than version 5, still. No version 6 support and nothing about Flash MX and newer versions (now up to 8, I believe).
If you want to hide the movie controller (I do it all the time in my pages) just set the html code for controller="false" in both the object and embed tags.
QuickTime also allows "progressive download" (a.k.a. Fast Start). Again, a simple html tag is all that is usually needed (autoplay="true") for this function to work.
The feature of Flash animation that allows this speed is its use of "objects". Once created, they can be morphed into different shapes or reused without increasing file size. Video formats can't do that. And neither does your Keynote export even though it is in Flash file format.
Vector graphics (scalable) are another Flash feature but QT can do some vector graphic formats (text files are an example).
Flash files usually display quickly (small file size) and don't demand much on a CPU because of what they are. Nothing to do with the file content,
Lastly, the Flash format was never intended for "video" formats. They don't do the colors (8 bit 256 colors is the normal limit of Flash) that most graphics now demand.

Flash (and other tracks added using QT Pro) used. All in a .mov "wrapper".

How do I make multiple buttons in my flash animation?

I am new to flash, and I have no training in it whatsoever. I
created a flash animation with flash CS3 for my photography
website, and I want to link each of the images to different
galleries on my site. When I created my first button it worked
fine, but when I try to create actions to link more than one image
as a button, keep getting an error that says "1021: Duplicate
function definition." How do I make each image as a separate
button?
I used the video of this tutorial as my guide to learn how to
create a button:
http://www.adobe.com/designcenter/flash/articles/flacs3it_firstflash_pt1.html
Also, when I run the animation to test it, it loops, and I
don't want it to loop. How do I stop it from looping?

I used the method shown in the tutorial I mentioned to create
it (created a new layer for the button, selected the area of the
image for the button,used modify -> convert to symbol
-> button, I edited it so it was an invisible button by
moving it to the hit frame, gave the selected area an instance name
of Hizumi_btn, inserted a new layer for actions and added the code
I have attached to this post.
I assumed that I would just need to repeat this procedure for
each of the other images in my animation, but when I did that I
received the error.
I greatly appreciate any help you can give me.
Thanks for the information on how to stop the animation.
Here is the code I used to create my first button.

How to usa flash media with iWeb?

I'm trying to build a nice .Mac website, but I'm having problems using flash files. Does anyone have an answer to this problem? Or will Apple need to update their iWeb software to include this feature?

James,
Thank you. Actually, it was you who got me started using Flash! I visited your baby's gallery (very cute) a while back and recall you mentioning you'd acheived the effects with Flash.
Is the photo animation part of the navigation menu flash movie?
They're separate .swf files as I want to have a different animation for each page banner whilst retaining the continuity of a single navigation bar. Currently, only my main blog page has an animated banner.
And do you just reserve the space with a text box and then edit the code later?
I tried that at first, but found that the iWeb generated HTML code for the text box was sometimes the last peice of code before the footer code (go figure) and simply swapping the code would displace other iWeb generated elements.
My solution was to first uncheck the Include page in navigation menu and Display navigation menu check boxes and create a header space big enough to hold the animations. Then I would place the Flash code directly after the beginning of the header_layer in the HTML and surround it with it's own div tags like so;
div style="height: 20px; width: 299px; top: 141px; left: 0px; position: absolute" id="NavigationBar"
What app do you use to generate your flash menus?
I used Flash 8 to generate the navigation bar using different .png files to define the in, out and down states. It took me about 15 minutes. It's very simple, even for me! The nine .png files (3 for each item) took me about 4 hours in PSE3! I'm no graphic artist! I can send you the Flash source code if you wish.
I just took another look at your gallery..... Now, that is slick!

How do I make flash animation?

how do I make flash animation for websites with Abode Flash
CS3? It will have static words with animation moving behind it.
Example:
http://www.fxnetworks.com/shows/originals/rescueme/#/home/
exclusive video, about the crew, and cast and crew: all have
video snippets moving when you mouse over it.

I'm sorry, but this question is sort of like: "I bought a
hammer, a saw and some wood, how do I make a rocking chair?"
First step: open Flash and hit the F1 key. This will open up
Flash's Help menu. Choose "Using Flash". Go through all the
exercises. If you're impatient and want to skip ahead (I don't
recommend it), go to the "Creating Animation" section. The
explanations and tutorials are actually very well-written and easy
to grasp.
There is also a PDF file that comes installed with Flash
called flash_cs3_help.pdf, which contains the same material.
I could write out a paint-by-numbers tutorial for you here,
but it would be pretty similar to what's in the Flash Help
resources. Use them. Then if you get stuck on a specific detail,
feel free to ask questions at this forum and people will be more
than happy to help.

How to Prevent Flash Animation Playing?

I have a flash animation that plays automatically when the user lands on the homepage of my site. It's part of the header, so it's present on every subsequent page of the site as well. However, I would like it to NOT play on the other pages. It should be visible, but only display the first frame or so of the animation, rather than playing automatically on every page.
How do I stipulate that in the code? Is there a line I can add somewhere?
Thanks for any help.

the easiest thing to do, is to create two different swfs. one for the home page (that you've already made) and one for the other pages which will be the same as the one you have now except you want to add a stop() to the swf's first frame.

Flash animation in Forms 9.0.X

Is there a way to display a flash animation (.SWF) file in a version 9.0 form. The key here is without using webutil to create an OLE container. I'd like to use the out of the box functionality to do this. Thanks

Hi,
the only chance I see is with a Java Bean that support Flash animations. I did search the Web a while ago when this question came up the first time, but wasn't able to find a bean that supports a recent version of Flash.
