New to Flash - inserting a navigation onto a html hidden layer

Apologies if I use the wrong terminology - I'm used to
html/css coding, and haven't ventured into Flash yet, but a client
has requested a very specific navigation system and I think Flash
is the only way to achieve it.
It's a fairly straightforward html/css site and the client
wants to have a semi-transparent navigation overlay on the page
(hidden layer) accessible by clicking on the company logo. The
overlay will be an image of a globe with text links at different
angles - hence the need for Flash rather than html. The text should
have mouseover behaviours and link to other pages within the site.
So, since I'm a solid gold newbie, is there a step-by-step
tutorial on achieving this? I think that it's a relatively
straightforward process, just one that I don't know!
Thanks for your patience.

Sorry, I should have added that I'm running Dreamweaver 8 and
Flash Professional 8.
Cheers.

    Question: Am i way over my head trying to do this as a newbie
    to flash? Is it hard? Does anyone have any tutorials that they know
    of that can push me in the right direction?

  • Help... I'm new to Flash

    Hello,
    I am new to Flash development and I've created a simple flash
    website with links/buttons on the left and on the right a content
    box.
    My question is how to make transitions or effects after you
    click one of the links on the left, to make the content part load
    up into a special effect, something like random tiles flipping over
    displaying the new content corresponding to the button on the left
    that you click. Are there any tutorials that would be helpful? I'm
    also trying to create a special effect that loads the entire flash
    in a cool way, not having the flash just appear simply but appear
    with a special effect.
    Any help would be appreciated,
    Alan

    You can insert ananimation in a movieclip with an alpha
    transition. Load it on a higher level as the button is clicked on a
    lower level.
    There are many examples, there are about as many ways to do
    it also.

  • How to insert an image onto a blank canvas doc?

    i am trying to create a blank canvas (700 width and 400 length) and then insert a photo onto it.  I am trying to make slides for a slideshow on my website's home page.
    PLEASE help.  i am new to photoshop and i have been searching for an answer.  I have a MAC

    This forum is intended to specifically support the Photoshop Getting Started experience, and in the future you'll likely get a faster response in the Photoshop forum. That said, here's what you want to do:
    Open Photoshop
    Select File, New
    Enter the size you want, you may need to change the size drop down to pixels
    Clock OK to create the blank canvas
    Select File, Place, this will let you select the image to insert
    I'll just add that if you want to create a web page slideshow, then you probably want to use Photoshop to edit or resize the images, and then Dreamweaver to actually build the web pager slideshow.

  • Dreamweaver CS4 Flash insert is garbage

    Dreamweaver CS4 is a disaster! It makes my 10x work more difficult. And it doesn't even get the job done.
    Examples:
    Can't preview my work in internet explorer. Instead, there some bogus, non-functioning, jump through 10 hoops extension called BrowserLabs - that flat out doesn't work.
    It's even worse for Flash video. Can't just click and preview it anymore, in ANY browser. Instead you have to upload it to your server or create a "test server" - and Mensa member, UC Berkley grad that I am - I can not figure out how to do that based on the lame instructinos from Adobe.
    Beyond that, the Flash insert in CS4 has totally lost the ability to re-size the actual video content - instead you get a black box around the video.
    And you are no longer able to pull video in from anoher site by referenceing the full URL.
    I bought Dreamweaver to make life easier. I don't want to learn to hand code. And I don't want to waste days and days dealing with things thaqt don't work.
    I've been working with computers for a long time. And CS4 is THE WORST upgrade I've ever experienced.
    Attention Adobe - what are you going to do about all this? I want to go back to CS3!

    "I bought  Dreamweaver to make life easier. I don't want to learn to hand code. And  I don't want to waste days and days dealing with things that don't  work."
    How typical.
    Mac user - "I just got a new Mac (or application) and I can't wait to do all sorts of great things with it!"
    Linux user - "I just got a new Linux build (or system) and I can't wait to do all sorts of  great things with it!"
    PC user - "I just bought a new computer (or program) and it's going to  do all sorts of things for me!"
    or the opposite:
    PC user - "I just bought a new computer (or program) and it won't do anything for me!"
    Mac user - "I just got a new Mac (or application) and I still haven't learned everything I can do with it... yet."
    Linux user - "I just got a new Linux build (or system) and I still haven't learned everything I can do with it... yet."
    Dreamweaver is WYSIWYG software. What You See Is What You Get... It's not a cure-all, do-all, write-all, upload-and-test-all fix for people who want to be webmasters without any knowledge or effort on their part. There's a solution for that... hire someone to build your site(s) for you.
    If you're adamant about not learning code, you're in the wrong  business (or even hobby).
    It's like saying, "I want to commute across town, but I'll be damned if I'm going to learn to drive!"
    I've been doing this since 2004 and I'm still in school learning new technologies and practices.
    I'll climb down off my soapbox now.
    Edit: For the record, I built and inserted two flash animations last night. First one here, second one here.Neither of them took more than three clicks to add, and I fully tested each of them in no less than eleven browsers (Firefox, IE8, Opera, Safari, Netscape, AOL, iCab, OmniWeb, Camino, SeaMonkey, Chrome), offline, before uploading the index pages.

  • New Ver Flash Player

    I get a pop-up on my screen on all my computers that informs me that there is a new version Flash Player for me to download. It never indicates the version (10.1.85.3) of the new version.
    Why not?
    I don't know what version is being downloaded/installed. I always have to go onto the Internet and check what version I have and then hope the new version is an update.
    Why can't Adobe list the new version number on the Adobe (red) pop-up screen?
    Alice

    A new version of Flash Player is released last week.
    Have you installed it? If not, access the following page with Firefox and install the same. http://get.adobe.com/flashplayer/
    See the following page to know the Flash Player version installed on your machine: http://helpx.adobe.com/flash-player/kb/find-version-flash-player.html
    Please let us know your operating system for further assistance.
    Thanks,

  • HT203167 Hello I've recently just bought a new iPhone and i am wanting to transfer all my music that i habe bought from my old one onto the new one. I've gone onto iTunes and tried to download them all again but it wont let me?

    I've recently just bought a new iPhone and i am wanting to transfer all my music that i habe bought from my old one onto the new one. I've gone onto iTunes and tried to download them all again but it wont let me?

    What happens when you try to redownload them ? What you can re-download (the types of content that you can redownload varies by country) will show under the Purchased link under Quicklinks on the right-hand side of the iTunes store home page on your computer's iTunes, and the Purchased tab in the iTunes store app on your iPhone (and similarly for apps in the App Store app). If you still have your old phone then you should be able to copy your iTunes downloads from it over to your computer's iTunes via File > Devices > Transfer Purchases

  • About in tears from new adobe flash player 10.3 not working

    After installing the new Adobe Flash 10.2.153.1 on my Windows7 64 bit computer, it can not be found when using my IE8 (does not show 32 or 64 bit only 256-bit).
    I have uninstalled using your reference on "please read: when asking Flash Player questions" and then reinstalled. It is on the programs list as installed but when I go to a site that needs me to use Adobe Flash it says I need it install it. Whn I go to the adobe web site to verify that I have installed Adobe Flash it only has a box with a small red x in the corner.
    I have updated my devices drivers.  I do not completely understand what a "kill-bit" is; however, I have gone into my registry and there is no registry keys that have {d27....etc}. There are many other numbers and most have a compatibilty flag of 0x00000400. So I must not have a "kill-bit" for Flash Player set. Not sure what that means.
    Can you help me? And have I given you enough info?
    Thanks for any help you can give me.

    FYI - have uninstalled adobe flash player since we last replied should I try to install again?
    I have checked this too and
    *Shockwave Flash Object installed and Enabled. version 11.5.7.
    * Yes at medium now (was at med high)
    * have mcafee but just installed tonight your recommended microsoft security essentals (did a quick scan tonight)
    * C:\Windows\SysWOW64\Macromed\Flash - FlashInstall (txt file) and Install (txt file)
    * No error messages - was told it was installed successfully
    thanks!

  • New line item insertion in delivery via EDI - PI

    hi,
    the requirement is to insert a new line item in the delivery.
    This new line item inserted should be done via an IDOC, which while entering the SAP will insert a new line item in the delivery.
    The question if this line item insertion should be done through the inbound FM in SAP or via XI/PI.
    How will this be done in PI??
    Thanks a lot

    Hai,
    How you delivery creating or updation working in ECC??
    like if you are using PI interface create/update delivery in ECC ,then you cae use PI only to insert new line item for material id.
    else if you want do manually you can create in VA02/VA42 TRASACTIONs or using function module also we can do that.
    option is yours.
    if you dont have much idea then better to talk with ABAP/Functional guys they will easily do this without PI.
    Regards,
    Raj

  • Quicktime and new Adobe flash don't work!!

    Ever since I have ? downloaded new iTunes/Quicktime updates I cannot get Quicktime to play any movie trailers. Also, when I go to any sites which need a Flash player, I am unable play any flash related videos. To add further frustration, I am unable to download the new Adobe flash player. It "downloads," but goes nowhere on my computer and is nonfunctional!! I feel like because I have an "old" Mac with Panther (which otherwise works great!), I am slowly being phased out of all the new downloads as they often either don't work or screw up my system. Help!!

    Hi again Stephen,
    That's great! I'm glad that that got you back on the track.
    I personally Repair Permissions about once a week or so (though the need to is highly debated here in Discussions).
    You might be interested in having a look at About Disk Utility's Repair Disk Permissions feature.
    Always Repair Permissions from Disk Utility on you HD before and after any Software Update/Upgrade for trouble free downloads.
    Glad I was able to help and thank-you for the courtesy of extending the Solved star!
    good luck,

    I have confirmed his complaint. stopAllSounds works correctly
    across multiple swfs on an html page using Flash player 8 but not
    with Flash Player 9.
    Incidentally, there is another big "improvement" (they say)
    that prevents you from uninstalling the Flash 9 player without
    running
    their uninstaller exe. Unfortunately, their uninstaller
    uninstalls all flash player versions (not just version 9) from ALL
    browsers
    so if just want to remove player 9 from IE you are forced to
    also uninstall it from FireFox etc as well. Great, huh?

You can't change size dynamically as it is defined by the
object embed tags.
You could use WMODE transparency which could help you fake it
tho not always best
solution to go with WMODE. It's a very buggy parameter.
WMODE will remove the background color so the flash movie
appear over the html and you
can see the HTML content trough the movie.
You could define some solid shape for the background on
bottom layer to make it look
like SWF background, than change it with the other loaded
movie making it appear as it
changed size while the over all flash size stats the same. As
said above - faking it.

  • 845 PE-Max "NEW" Bios Flash "does it really fix the temp readings?"

    So MSI has been having problems with there Temp readings on there boards. So I was surprised to see that they just released a bios update to correct this issue. Of course I couldn't wait to download and flash the bios and see what effect it had. Everything went well, I popped into windows and (I'm testing Intel's stock HSF currently) and my temps dropped drastically????? Now this can't be correct either...
    Motherboard: 32c
    CPU: 29c
    Case 23c
    Now remember this is with the retail P4 2.53 HSF. With the new bios flash it shows a cooler temp than my Spark 7. And the Intel is only running at 2400RPM. Before the bios flash with the Intel HSF:
    Motherboard: 33c
    CPU: 40c
    Case 23c

    Well ran another test last night. Ran a CPU Burn-In test for 30 Minutes and the temp only hit 45c during the test. Obviously the new BIOS is incorrect. I find it impossible that the retail HSF on my P4 2.53GHz can keep it below 50c under max load. My Tt Spark 7 with Artic Silver II only kept it at 37c idle. I'm reading 28c Idle now using the retail HSF.
    MSI - ??????????????????????????
