Newbie: Help with Interactive Movie Clips

I'm just starting off with Indesign and am already running into an issue on a seemingly simple issue. I'm trying to create an interactive document that I will play movie clips when exported to pdf. Ok so far so good. I've inserted one movie and started to play around.
1st issue - The only option I can get to actually play the movie when clicked is when the pdf export option for compatibility is set to 'Acrobat 5 (PDF 1.4)'
                 How come no newer options work? Using Acrobat reader 9 by the way and tried to toggle options such as 'embedding' the movie.
                 No luck with playing on any setting except 'Acrobat 5 (PDF 1.4)'
2nd Issue - Inside the movie options dialog box for this clip, there is an option for a poster that I can 'choose movie frame' as poster. The dialog box       comes up and is completely empth with no video controls or anything. What the deal with this.
I'm just starting out and I know I'm not totally incompetant but I'm not very pleased with what I'm seeing right now.
Any help or suggestions would be very much appreciated.
Thanks,
Don

Here is some help for starter.
For embedding, do that in InDesign. I think you know the movie will only play in the PDF.
If you export to PDF 1.3/1.4•Non-RGB movie or sound posters aren’t visible in the exported PDF document.
•SWF and MPEG movies aren’t playable in the exported PDF document.
•Clipping paths applied to movie or sound posters don’t appear in the exported PDF document. Posters are resized to match the movie page item.
•Movies cannot be embedded.•Sounds cannot be linked.
If you export to PDF 1.5 or laterQuickTime is specified as the preferred player when exporting to PDF. To change the preferred player, you must edit the rendition in Acrobat 6.0 or later.
If you export to any PDF version•Non-rectangular media frames don’t appear in the exported PDF document.
•Hyperlinks applied to movies, sounds, or buttons are not active in the exported PDF document. However, you can add those hyperlinks using Acrobat Professional.
•Rotated or sheared movies and posters may not appear correctly in the exported PDF document.
•Any masking applied to movie frames or posters is not supported.

Help with some movie clips and an function...

Please help me out :-<
The code :

sItem2 is a string and strings don't have _x etc properties.
"movie1" should be a movieclip, not a string when passed to
fSwitch() and fSwtich parameter typing should be changed. or
convert "movie1" into a movieclip in fSwitch()
to remedy the issue with sItem2, use a reference to your
movieclip created by attachMovie().

Need help with using Movie Clips

I know how to create a MovieClip object, add it to the main
stage and even add things to the movie clip but how do I create
frames within that movie clip that I can "gotoAndStop" or
"gotoAndPlay" with?

Ok, I know replying to my own post is odd on some forums, but
anyhow:
I've done some further testing and find that FlashObject
isn't the problem.
Looking at the AS code above, it is clear that the SWFs to be
loaded must be in the same folder as the HTML web-page.
However, my intent is that these small SWFs that are being
loaded in by the main SWF will be shared by many other movies,
therefore I'd like to stick them (the physical SWF files) closer to
the root of the site (e.g. SiteFoler->flash).
I see that my problem rears its ugly head when I try to
reference these movies in my main flash movie as follows:
First movie:
this.createEmptyMovieClip("mcToolbar", 10);
with (mcToolbar)
_x=8;
_y=68;
loadMovie("../../../flash/toolbar.swf",mcToolbar);
Second movie:
this.createEmptyMovieClip("mcWindow", 11);
with (mcToolbar)
_x=500;
_y=60;
loadMovie("../../../flash/textwindow.swf",mcWindow);
In the example above, my HTML page is 3 folders deep whereas
the movies I'm loading in are 1 folder deep in the folder labeled
"flash".
By doing it in this manner, I get the problems I described
above (first movie loads then disappears and second movie loads in
wrong position).
Any ideas as to why the physical location of the SWFs being
pulled in is causing this problem? I'd like to try to avoid copying
the SWFs to each place their being refrenced from as that could be
a major maintenance headace.
Thanks,
Ben

Urgent Flash help needed; Using Movie Clip Objects

Hello,
I am currently trying to design a small flash movie.
I have a "Movie Clip" object (a short animation) that i wish to act like a static object until a certain frame on the main Timeline.
Then i want it to play out, at it's own pace, just like normal, until it finishes (no looping)...
What do i need to put into, and where do i put it?
So in short, frame 30 of the main animation triggers the clip, whilst the main animation still runs...
I know very, very minimal AS3... so please, can someone help me?
A lot of solutions suggest a button, but I don't want to use a button, as it's not interactive - just a movie.
i just want the damn movie clip to play in the damn movie when it reaches frame 30! it shouldn't be that hard..

There is most likely no need for any code. And most likely no need for a movieclip even.
It sounds like you would need a graphic symbol. (You can convert it in the library or you can just change the instance you have placed on stage.)
First select the symbol on its first keyframe and on the properties panel select the looping options and tell it single frame, first 1.
Then move along your timeline to where you want the animation to start playing. Add a keyframe. Now select Once, first 1.
Now it will start playing, you will be able to see it play as you scrub the timeline.
If you use movieclips and code for this, you won't be able to see them play together as you scrub the timeline.

Buttons with nested movies clips...

Hi guys
I'm a flash newb. Have just read some tutorials on creating
flash buttons that contain nested movie clips for the different
states. So I went and made 5 of them for my site, all seems great
the rollover effects are just as planned, and I thought I could add
URL link to them in Dreamweaver but thats not working out. Been
googling my *** off to add URL via actionscript (of which I
understand VERY little) , found some code (add the following to key
frame :on(release) {
getURL('
http://www.generic.com',
'_parent');
Major problem is, when I try to add AS to the frame/button,
I'm getting told I 'current selection cannot have actions applied
to it' If I persist and add the script anyway, funnily enough it
doesn't work.
I did an experimental button, consisting of diff coloured
boxes, and AS will apply to that no problem.
I'm tearing my hair out, as I already posted the flash links
on my site and have had to add a note for visitors to use static
links in the interim.
I would love to post the .fla file but I don't see an option
anywhere here to do so.
If some wise soul can help my dumb *** out of this bind it
would be greatly appreciated.

You were using AS2 code, which will not work in AS3. That
particular code is placed on an object, which AS3 does not allow
for, which is why it wouldn't let you... all code in AS3 goes into
timeline frames.
For mouse interctive objects (buttons, movieclips, etc) you
assign event listeners to the object. Let's say your button has an
instance name of "btn", here's a variety of the possible event
listeners avaiable, and I've assigned them to the button....
btn.addEventListener(MouseEvent.CLICK, clickHandler);
btn.addEventListener(MouseEvent.DOUBLE_CLICK,
doubleClickHandler);
btn.addEventListener(MouseEvent.MOUSE_DOWN,
mouseDownHandler);
btn.addEventListener(MouseEvent.MOUSE_OUT, mouseOutHandler);
btn.addEventListener(MouseEvent.MOUSE_OVER,
mouseOverHandler);
btn.addEventListener(MouseEvent.MOUSE_UP, mouseUpHandler);
btn.addEventListener(MouseEvent.MOUSE_WHEEL,
mouseWheelHandler);
All of those "...Handler" things at the end are the names of
functions you create to take action when the listener hears
something it's assigned for... you can name them anything you want,
and here's and example of how the function might look for the CLICK
event...
function clickHandler(event:MouseEvent):void {
trace("clickHandler");
Again, you can name the function anything you want, and the
code within the function can be whatever you need done when the
button is clicked... just be sure to include the argument
"event:MouseEvent" because the listeners throws an argument to the
function and the function needs to expect it. The "event" part of
that is a variable name, so you can name it whatever you like, such
as "e", which is commonly done. The MouseEvent defines the class,
and should be exactly what it is.... a MouseEvent, caps and
all.

Help with loading movies

i have a problem if anyone can help.. please take a look at
my website. www.doubleasmetalworks.com under the our products
button, i have 3 different movies. copper, abstract, and ornaments.
when i click on them to load them.. they load, but not with the
preloader.. but if you will notice that when you first load each
page the loader pops up like its supposed to. it's tied into my
first action layer in my main movie. how do i use that preloader,
or make another one so it shows the percet of my movies
loaded..........ANY HELP.. thanks in advance.. heres the script for
my main movie.//-----------Initialization---------\\
extLoader_mc._visible = false;
var currentPage;
stick("da_mc");
//--------Movie Clip Loader----------\\
var mcLoader:MovieClipLoader = new MovieClipLoader();
var myListener:Object = new Object();

You'll have to be more specific and post some of your code.
There are many reasons why you could be having this problem.

Photoshop elements 6 help with making a clipping mask

I have a button template (for a pinback) I put into elements. What I would like to do is make a country flag button. Right now the flag image is sitting ontop of the template.

Help with adding movies - they won't play linearly

Hi,
I've made several short movie clips (2-4 mins each) with iMovie 08 and saved them as QuickTime movies (H.264 compression).
Now, in iDVD 08, I'm trying to add these clips in sequence to make DVD. The idea being that you could jump to a specific clip from the DVD menu, or, just let it play them all in a row.
Playing them all in a row appears to be the problem. I can add a clip, but when I go to add a second or third, it places them as though they were separate, not linked to the first clip. In other words, the only way to get to a clip when the DVD plays is through the menu. If you start on the first clip, when it ends, you go back to the menu, instead of going to the second clip, and so on.
Make sense?
What am I doing wrong?!
Thanks very much in advance.

To get them to all play one after another you'll either have to join them together or add them to an iDVD slideshow like this.
This way you can have the full version and each "chapter" on the same menu.
If you create an iDVD slideshow for each clip you also scale them to the TV Safe area when played on conventional CRT TV sets.

Newbie Q: What do movie clips need to allow Actionscript?

Hello. Thanks for taking time out for this question.
Basically, I started an exercise in a book and it asked me to
add code to a movieclip. I created a basic circle, converted it to
a movie clip and tried to press F9 for actionscript, but Flash told
me "Current selection cannot have actions added to it".
When I looked at the example file that came with the book, I
couldn't see anything special about the movieclip that was used.
What am I missing?

However, the techniques of adding code directly to movie
clips is an old and outdated way of coding. And I would advise that
if you are serious about learning Actionscript that you don't go
down that road.
AS 2 is perfectly useful and good so learn that or learn AS3
(or both!), but here is a link to an article about the issue:
http://www.quip.net/blog/2006/flash/museum-pieces-on-and-onclipevent
David Stiller (that is his blog) posts here often and is a
great source of information. You might want to check out more of
his articles.
It could be that your book is just showing one way before
moving on to a more sensible approach, but check the examples
toward the end. If they are full of on() and onClipEvent() I woudl
recommend getting a different book.

Please help! Nested Movie Clips as navigation bar

Hi everyone,
I just had my first flash lesson a couple of days ago, but decided to venture myself into trying to build a navigation tool bar with movie clips grouped together. My intention is that once the mouse rolls over one particular movie clip, another movie clip fades in under it (my version of a "drop down" menu). Just so it happens, the movie clip that fades in, is also comprised of particular movie clips with their own behaviors (roll over tween effects).
I can make each individual movie clip behave as it should, but I cannot get them to work once they are pieced together. I'm attaching a link that contains the file I'm talking about (submenu), in the hopes that one of you good Samaritans would take a look at it and tell me where I went wrong.
Hopefully I haven't absolutely shocked you guys with my level of ignorance.

Help! Remove Movie Clips

OK...here's my problem... I am making a portfolio site and I

similar to the galleries example in the Sample and Tutorials. Only
problem is that I have multiple keyframes with different thumbnails

Keeping "state" with many movie clips

In one frame (Frame A), I've dynamically attached many movie
clips for a tile-based game. This happens in the init function of
that frame. If I move to another frame (Frame B) temporarily (to
display something else), it looks like I need to remove or unload
all of the movie clips so that they don't show up on Frame B. Is
that the only way to not have them show? The problem is that when I
return to Frame A, I would like it to have the same state
(positions of objects, etc.) as when I left it. What is the best
way to accomplish this?
As an alternative, I suppose I could draw something on top of
the screen (higher z order) and mask what is below and then remove
what was draw on top when I'm finished with it. I would prefer to
figure out a way to accomplish it the first way, though, because I
can use this for other things as well.
Does anyone have any advice on this?
Thanks!

I understand that you can remove one parent instead of many
children in this way, which is good from an efficiency standpoint.
Beyond that, I was ideally looking for a way to basically "freeze"
the action on Frame A and return to it. I assume that, even with a
parent-child scenario, I would still need to loop through all of
the children and save their states (because just checking the
parent attributes isn't going to get at this information). I was
just asking if there was any easier way. It would be nice to be
able to go to another frame - maybe on another level - and then
come back to Frame A and pick up where I left off - just hopeful
thinking, I guess.

I am creating a button with a 20 frame disolve into a page upon entry. I want the button to play a 20 frame disolve back to it's original state when the user rolls out. I want the movie clip to play from frame 21 to the end of the mc and then become inactive. I can get the button to disolve out but the user will not be able to use it after that first roll over. I was thinking of trying to add a time delay from when the first action of the rollout occurs to when the disolve is complete. How do I include a 20 frame delay in the roll out sequence?
Here is my code so far:
//Index Button
mc_buttons.mc_index.onRollOver = function ()
    this.active = 1;
mc_buttons.mc_index.onRollOut = function ()
    this.gotoAndPlay (21);
//This is were I might include the time delay. Any suggestions?
    this.active = 0;
mc_buttons.mc_index.onEnterFrame = function ()
    if (this.active == 1 && this._currentframe == 1)
            this.gotoAndPlay (2);
        }else if (this.active == 1){
        }else{
        this.gotoAndStop (1);
mc_buttons.mc_index.onPress = function ()
    getURL ('#');

The clip has a stop action at frame 1. On rollover I want it to play at frame 2 until it hits the next stop action command at frame 20. On roll out I want the clip to play at frame 21 and continue to the last frame (40) then loop back to frame one and stop.
So that the user can go back to the button after the first time I want the link to become inactive. The frame rate is 32 fps so I only need a one second delay from the this.gotoAndPlay (21) command to the point where the link is de-activated, this.active = 0;, so that it can be activated again, this.active = 1;.
I found a line of code on another forum, setInterval(nextThing, 1000);, but it didn't work.
Any Thoughts?
Thanks
