Need help with flash animation and jump to slide

I have been researching for days on how to build a menu in
flash 8 that has links to jump to a slide later in the captivate
lesson.
The goal:
I want to have a tab - when clicked on - opens up and shows a
table of contents. Click on an item and it will jump to that slide.
Method:
I used flash 8 to build a tab and pop up menu. Works great.
But how do I make the buttons or links to jump to slide?
Is it possible to:
* - use a roll over image in captivate - pause image and
click on a button to pop over to the slide - no flash menus...just
action script to pause and allow clicking.
* - use a FS Command script from inside the captivate movie
- java call in button proprieties.
* - write the menu in flash - use action script to say "on
release - jump to slide" or "on release - jump to frame" - I have a
frame counter that I can find the frame number of the slide - but
how would you get the script to work.
Please Help -
Flash not a good friend of mine - so any time I can avoid --
is great...but it is what it is - i do anything to get it to work.
Thank you in advance for your help and I really look forward
to your thoughts.
Regards -
Vince

Hi
I didn't understand a few things here.
1. Are you trying these things using Adobe Presenter or this is just plain Powerpoint you are talking about?
2. Are you trying to view the output on the Slide show or presenter output
If you are doing it for PowerPoint slide show, try setting the animations using with previous and after previous
1. first insert the video. Set it to play automatically
2. Insert the first text box. Apply animation on it saying "with Previous". This will make the animation play as soon as the video starts. If you want some delay apply some delay for the animation in the animation pane, such that the animation appears when the video has content sound
3. For the remaining text boxes apply animations as "after Previous". This will make the animations play after the previous animation has completed.
4. Now all you have to do is applay delay to the animations to adjust them as and how you want
Hope this is what you wanted to achieve
Thanks

Hi there
I'm not sure how you wound up where you did. But you wound up in the Adobe Captivate forums. Please stand by as I move your thread to the Flash forums.

Need help with flash player installation please !!!!

Hello,
I need help with my flash player installation because every time I access a movie this is the message I receive.
This content on Xfinity TV is not available for viewing with Chrome's "Incognito" mode. To play this video using Chrome, please view this page without "Incognito" mode.
Still having problems? Try resetting your Flash player license.

Incognito mode is a Google Chrome setting when you open a new window (Cmd+Shift+N on a Mac Ctrl+Shift+N on Windows) It opens a "private" window with no cookies and no tracking. The problem with it is that when you disable cookies, your license files are not sent to the site (whetehr it's YouTube or xFinity or any other that uses license files for paid content) and it treats you as if you're a first time visitor. Paid videos won't play wihtout the cookies sending the license file info.
This isn't a Flash Player setting. It's in Chrome. I did some research and according to Google, "Incignito" mode is off by default, and can ONLY be activate by the keyboard shortcut. There IS a way to disable it from the registry http://dev.chromium.org/administrators/policy-list-3#IncognitoModeAvailability

Need help with Airport Express and so on.

Ok so my main problem before getting into what I need help with here is that our MacBooks and now my iPhone 6 plus isn't staying online. Keep getting booted off and then I either have to select the network again or it will eventually go back on. If anyone has a solution or so please feel free to answer that as well. I'm running on Roadrunner with a Netgear 600 wireless router and a motorola modem. Both of which I'll leave the link to below for a better look.
My Main Question: So I'm looking at a new wireless router mainly and possibly a new modem. I know Apple products are trustworthy but how good is the Airport Express and other Airport products. Also what is the Maximum speed and Maximum data speed for the cheapest express station and if anyone knows the speeds of the other devices it would be greatly appreciated.

DSL Router to Netgear 5-port Switch and I used the switch to connect to Airport Extreme, TV, Blue-Ray DVD player and DirecTV Receiver.
The AirPort Extreme base station (AEBS) is a router so it will do what you need.
You need to reconfigure your setup. Connect the WAN port of the AEBS to the DSL router. Then connect the Netgear switch to one of the LAN ports on the AEBS. The AEBS will properly share the connection.

Need help with Page Layout and Background Scaling

hello, everyone.
I am in the process of designing a new website for myself,
and while I was researching nicely designed pages to use as
inspiration, I stumbled upon this site:
http://www.jeffsarmiento.com/
obviously, the design is very impressive, but it also
incorporates a lot of web mechanics that I have been trying to
figure out, so I will use this page as an example.
one thing I need help with is backgrounds. as you can see in
the posted website, the creator used a seamlessly tiled paper
texture to display the bulk of his content on. also make not of the
pattern that is located to the left of the paper texture. how do I
create seamless backgrounds like this that will scale to fit any
amount of content or any resolution? I can't imagine that the guy
that made that site created a new size background every time he
made an update, so there has to be an easier way.
the second thing that I am having trouble with is general
site layout. I have read that most sites used series of invisible
tables to organize there content, but when I open the source of
this page in dreamweaver, he was using something different. div
tags? should I be using these? who do I use them? are there any
general layout tips that someone could pass on to me? perhaps a
link to a good tutorial?
please help me. i am very confused.
thanks so much.

IMO not a good site to emulate. To wit:
Top background image:
http://www.jeffsarmiento.com/images/bg-top.jpg;
745px
x 350px 137K
Main background image:
http://www.jeffsarmiento.com/images/bg-tile.jpg;
745px x 950px 130K
Total page size: 454K (Check here:
www.websiteoptimization.com)
Website usability experts routinely recommend a maximum page
size of ~80K
Check out the We We Scale @ www.FutureNowInc.com/wewe/ where
they suggest,
"You speak about yourself approximately 0,003 times as often
as you speak
about your customers. Might that have an impact on your
effectiveness?"
That is 100% consistent with the #1 Web Design mistake:
"Believing people
care about you and your web site." or to phrase more
expansively, "Our site
tries to tell you how wonderful we are as a company, but not
how we're going
to solve your problems."
www.sitepoint.com has some excellent books on making a
website actually
attractive and usable at the same time.

Need help with show/hide and layers moving

I'm more of a designer, so I don't know code or CSS well at
all. I'm doing an online portfolio for a class and need help with
layers not staying in place in different browsers. The portfolio is
created with a table, but I wanted to use the show/hide function
for thumbnails of work. Are layers the only way you can use this
function? I read layers don't work well with tables, so how else
can I make it so when you mouse over a thumbnail, the larger image
appears in another cell?

> I don't know code or CSS well at all.
That's unfortunate.
> layers not staying in place in different browsers.
Layers don't move. But the rest of your page does.
Before you get too wrapped up in layers, though, please read
this -
http://www.great-web-sights.com/g_layerlaws.asp
They are not good when be used as a primary layout method.
> I read layers don't work well with tables
They work fine with tables - but you have to understand both
tables and
layers to use them.
Why not show us your page, so we can see what you are
struggling with?

Help with flash animation!

Hi there! My name is Dean and I've bought Adobe Flash CS4 4 months ago. I'm very new to flash and I've already made my first animation -
http://www.swfcabin.com/open/1267200676
but I'm here to ask a question.
Well, I've been riding this cartoon -
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=bbUqEPUZ-ds
and I was wondering, how did they do the hands and legs animation? It looks like the bone tool, but whenever I use the bone tool, I can't get it right! I always get wrong edges! Here are some pictures of my failures -
http://img202.imageshack.us/gal.php?g=fail5.jpg
anyway, I just couldn't get it right and I think it's because I draw it wrong.
Please, any help will be awesome!
mail: [email protected]
msn: [email protected]
Oh and by the way, about the lipsync, I think its a little jumpy, How can i make it better? (Like the Cartoon on top^)
Thanks!

Best to do it all in Flash or not Flash at all.

Need help with flash templates in Mac...

Hello, I did some searches in the forum but found nothing.
I have a problem. I have a Mac and and using Dreamweaver CS5.5.
Recently I download some templates with flash from Hostgator.
The message I get is: "This page contains some SWF objects that may not work properly in the most recent versions of Internet Explorer. Dreamweaver cannot convert them to the new SWF markups. Please delete each of them a insert again"
Could you help me please?
Thanks,

Hello,
The support from HostGator.com told me this:
After reading about Adobe Dreamweaver and using the library SWF objects. This seems to be a fairly particular error with Adobe Dreamweaver CS4.
I have read three articles:
http://forums.adobe.com/message/2958378?tstart=0
http://www.dreamweaverclub.com/forum/showthread.php?t=33323
http://www.vbforums.com/showthread.php?t=579625
They all concur this error is completely ignorable in some way. If you include the object, and just ignore the message, your content will still upload to your site. This has to do with how adobe has changed the embedding of objects since previous versions.
However, what I can concur from all of this is that you need to simply just re-add the file to your site/library, or just ignore the error message and the embed code should work just fine.
I test a hostgator template with flash on their server, and works fine.
I want to know your opinion. T hanks for your help...

Need help with flash images

i have been all over forums asking this question. i hope someone helps me here.
okay i purchased a template to make a website for a book.
in the unedited purchased template, on the products page, there is an image gallery.
there are four thumbnails that are just default for the template.
when i open flash cs4, and open the library panel, and scroll to where these thumbnails are located, i am having trouble replacing the images with my own.
i use photoshop to resize my images to the EXACT same size as the images that came with the template.
okay. i double click the thumbnail in the library and a window pops up that shows the thumbnail with buttons like update, import, etc.
well i click "import" so that i can replace the image with my own.
it seems to work at first. BUT....
when i click "save" in cs4 and then test movie and go to the products page, it was there and replaced, but it all acted CRAZY!! like the image would jump to the other thumbnails, or it would blink in and out and sometimes it would effect the entire template!!! what am i doing wrong? how can replace those thumbnails with my own and have it work correctly?
here is the link:
http://www.charrleslieministries.com/projects/main_v8.html then click on the products button. thanks for any help. michael

it's not likely you're going to get much help in a forum. you're problem is related to the specifics of your template and you probably don't understand how the template works.
you're best bet is to see if you can get someone to download your fla and fix it for you.
