Newbie Help with SWF

Howdy,
I am working on a website with just plain html/css at the
moment. I was provided a SWF intro for the splash page from a
developer who designed the page. I have implemented the object and
embed code so the SWF loads. Problem is that I want to click the
SWF and have it take me into the website. I tried using a href, but
that doesn't work. Can someone please help me?
thanks

There is a possibility that when developers making flash ad
,implement the clickTag method.
I am not sure it is done in your case.
If it is done the link to the website can be done while
embedding the flash movie in html
like this embed src="name of
your_swf?clickTag=link_of_thewebsite"
Else you should make necessary changes in the source file.
Thanks

Create a procedure to insert a record into the Bill_Items table. All the fields in the Bill_Items table will be specified as para with the exception of the Selling_Price, which will be the Current_Price, retrieved from the Menu_Items table. Do not allow the insert to finish unless there are enough of all ingredients on hand. If the insert is successfull, the quantity field in the Ingredient table will need to be updated accordingly.
Tables are below.

Newbie: help with join in a select query

Hi: I need some help with creating a select statement.
I have two tables t1 (fields: id, time, cost, t2id) and t2 (fields: id, time, cost). t2id from t1 is the primary key in t2. I want a single select statement to list all time and cost from both t1 and t2. I think I need to use join but can't seem to figure it out even after going through some tutorials.
Thanks in advance.
Ray

t1 has following records
pkid, time, cost,product
1,123456,34,801
2,123457,20,802
3,345678,40,801
t2 has the following records
id,productid,time,cost
1,801,4356789,12
2,801,4356790,1
3,802,9845679,100
4,801,9345614,12
I want a query that will print following from t1 (time and cost for records that have product=801)
123456,34
345678,40
followed by following from t2 (time and cost for records that have productid=801)
4356789,12
4356790,1
9345614,12
Is this possible?

Newbie - Help With templates

I am fairly new to dreamweaver. Looking to put together a
basic site for a holiday home for rent. Would like to include
photos of the house and surrounding area, travel details, details
of things to do and see, calendar, temeperature charts etc. Can
anyone suggest where I can get my hands on templates that would
help with this?
Many thanks

The best I've seen are from ProjectSeven -

Newbie: Help With Reverse Engineering a SWF

Hi I'm looking for some help (direction to resources, etc) in recreating the kind of functionality seen at this website: http://www.schiff2010.com/
Specifically, the "10,000 Supporters" dynamic animation with the Statue of Liberty and realtime loading of pledge names.
I'm wondering what I need to create something similar.
Also, there is a widget attached to this database which gives similar information that I would like to recreate:
<object classid="clsid:D27CDB6E-AE6D-11cf-96B8-444553540000" codebase="http://download.macromedia.com/pub/shockwave/cabs/flash/swflash.cab#version=8,0,0,0" width="160" height="215" title="Schiff2010.com"><param name="movie" value="http://www.schiff2010.com/widgets/bomb_count_160x215.swf" /><param name="quality" value="high" /><embed src="http://www.schiff2010.com/widgets/bomb_count_160x215.swf" quality="high" pluginspage="http://www.adobe.com/shockwave/download/download.cgi?P1_Prod_Version=ShockwaveFlash" type="application/x-shockwave-flash" width="160" height="215"></embed></object>
Thank you for any help.

Just collecting a little data to see if this is as dynamic as you think it is, because when I checked it when you first posted, it seems to be the same info...
4/30/2009: 5311 supporters displayed, starting with Steve Anthony
If that doesn't change over time, this is not a real time presentation--which isn't surprising considering the trust-ability of anything political in nature. Not that it couldn't be.

Need help with SWF page transitions please :)

I am having an issue recreating something I have seen on
other flash sites... (For example on 2Advanced.com) It is hard to
explain but I will do my best. I am advanced in design, layout,
tweening, and am a beginner to intermediate action scripter. So
even if your solution is a point in the right direction to some
code I could pick up and noodle around with that would be great.
That having been said, on to the issue, it's a 2 parter:
Part 1:
I have a Master FLA (or SWF) containing navigation that loads
secondary SWF pages into movie clip containers for the 5 additional
pages of the site. These load above the Master movie clip masking
it (Navigation floats above) so the loaded pages are sandwiched in
between.
View page in it's current state here:
http://sky.prohosting.com/tk421808/rwip/gallery_MAIN.html
This works ok right now, but I have the SWFs replacing one
another in one single movie clip container. What I would like to do
is similar to shuffling 5 cards... if you want the 4th card down
you pull it out, it goes to the top and slides over the last
visible card on top. So I would like the first page clicked to
slide in covering the master MC, the second page clicked, to slide
in covering that one, and so on and so forth. This would be easy if
the pages were linear, then I could just stack the movie clips, but
since the user will click out of order I need a way to load one
into MC_2 (on top), Then when another is clicked have the MC_2 SWF
move down a level (Swap MC?) to allow the second to slide in above,
and then delete the movie that has moved down into level one
(Bottom) then have this repeat when another movie is clicked. This
way it will look like the page you clicked is always sliding in
over the one you are leaving.
Part 2:
I have no idea how to do this next part but... I believe it
involves a gotoAndPlay. I would like to have animation in the movie
that is unloading after the button for the next page to load is
clicked... in other words, you have loaded a page, you click on
another link, and before the new external SWF page loads, the
current performs a gotoAndPlay where I have animated some
de-constructing swipes that remove the text, shapes holding the
text, and the image. ONLY THEN does it start to load the movie for
the link it selected. I think what I am trying to ask here is how
does it carry the link through the unloading animation until it's
done and then execute the loading of the new external SWF of the
link they just clicked?
I pray this makes sense... If not I would be happy to explain
further. :) Thanks in advance for any help!

<<
You don't use frames. I'd probably use Fuse for this - which
is a sequencing
engine. (www.mosessupposes.com) You can call a function when
the sequence is
done animating - using what's known as a callBack function.
That'd be the
best way, IMO.
For part one, you could either place mutliple empty movie
clips, or just
create them using createEmptyMovieClip - which is a MovieClip
method, and
then load your swfs into them with MovieClipLoader. You can
use swapDepths
for layer control, in order to have any given clip move above
another, layer
wise.

Help with .swf Load on Index Page

Hello,
My website has a flash component on the index page.
I would like to ask for some help regarding the initial load of the .swf file.
What is happening is when one first sees the homepage, the area where the .sfw file is located is just a large white blank area until the flash become active.
Is there a way to have an image from the start, then load the larger flash animation so the white blank spot does not appear?
I ask my html coders if this could be done through html with an image say in the background and was told it is not possible.
Here is the site - www.metroplexmultimedia.com
Thanks for your help!

A follow-up on the same issue.
I am still having some issues with an swf file on the index page. Any more help would be appreciated.
What I would like is two-fold:
1) The viewer to see the first screen of the .swf as soon as possible
2) The four screens in the .swf to scroll to the next screen automatically every 5 seconds or so. (right now they only change when you hover over a button)
Is it is possible to program the swf file to auto scroll through the four slides, retain the button functionality and keep the Flash timeline short?
Maybe CSS might be a better appraoch for this functionality?
If I could ask, what do you think?
Is it possible to do this in Flash or is CSS really the only way?
Thanks,

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.

Newbie Help with videocameras and editing software

I am a third grade teacher who can whip around in imovie pretty well, but I want to expand and post training videos to the web. I also want to vodcast. I need a relatively easy videocamera, and of course, reasonably priced. I don't understand all the mumbo jumbo about the dvd, tape, flash videocameras except to know that some are not compatible with osx.
Also would I be better off with Final Cut Pro Express?
Help to a newbie...

susannamessier wrote:
OK now I am looking and I want this camera to be compatible with imovie also. On the Apple support page along side the Canon's I am looking at I see:
Video stabilization limitations more...
Filming in Cinema or 24p mode more...
What? Goodness could this be anymore complicated?
It's very intimidating at first. The short answer is that all this is compatible with iMovie.
The longer one is:
The number refers to frames per second (frame rate, in the jargon). Cine cameras run at 24 frames per second, so 24 fps is considered to give a look to moving objects similar to what you'd see in a filmed movie (think wagon wheels appearing to go backwards in old westerns).
p refers to progressive, and means that you're getting 24 complete frames each second - again like film (this idea of mimicking film is the holy grail to some video makers - I say video is video, and should be treated like video). The opposite of progressive is i, for interlaced. Interlacing is a technique used in television since the early days as a way of giving you a better looking TV picture; in interlacing, instead of looking at each frame as a whole, you split it into very narrow lines, then scan al the odd ones, followed by all the even ones. In the old days, the scanning had to be linked to the way in which the electricity supply worked, so scanning was based on a frequency of 60 cycles per second (in the USA).
So in video, you will see camcorders offering a frame rate of 60i as standard - i.e. 60 interlaced frames in one second.. They usually also offer 30p (which combines the results of 2 60i scans to give you 30 complete frames. And then as you've seen, 24p so you can make it look like film.
You can shoot good movies in any of those frame rates; which ones you choose are up to you, but they're all used by many people for many different purposes. Some people will tell you you must use frame rate x for subject y. Listen, but don't follow blindly - try it out and see what works for you.
The issue you will sometimes here debated about iMovie is how to take video you have shot interlaced, and get iMovie to export it as progressive, but still in high quality. Don't worry about that right now.
Just get a camcorder you like, and make some movies. First feel really proud of them, then learn some more, and feel embarrassed by them (this is what we all do!).
Hope that helps.

Need help with swf

Help I am new, and this is my first big job. The basics: all
the files uploaded to the website, and they are in the same folder:
the html file which is the web page, the swf file, the flv file and
all of the necessary players. I created the video file with
Macomedia Flash 8 Video Encoder. I have 2 animations on the same
page, my swf and the video.
When I PREVIEW the page locally on my computer using either
the dreamweaver preview or previewing in a browser, the swf and the
video play fine. However, when I go to the site on the web, the
video does not play. One of my swf files works fine the other file
the flv does not work at all. There is a space where the flv should
be, however the video does not play.
I am new to this stuff please help. What am I doing wrong?

Need help with swf files

Hello,
I have a swf file which is 800px x 600px however I have
another swf file which is 475px x 750px. I wish to link these two
files together however I understand that this will be a problem.
Does anyone know how I can link together two swf files which
are of different size without there being a visual problem?
Is it possible to change the dimensions of the screen for one
swf file and then change it back when another one plays?
Any help would be great
Cheers
Gary

thanks for quick respond
So the first of all my main.swf would load, within it i would have a button. If i click on button will take me to frame 40 ( just example ) where i will have this.loadMovie("first.swf"), when this file will be loaded i want to have other button with in the first.swf which will take me back to main.swf and now you are suggesting to use this.removeMovie("first.swf")?
I am not sure if i got you answer right
Thanks again for help i am quite new to ActionScript as you can tell.
