Non Flash interactive banner

Hi everyone,
Does anyone know of a tutorial on how to build a banner like the one on www.cnet.com ?
It allows for actual text, images and prev/next buttons on a banner, with a fade in/out transition between slides (the transition is not required, but would be nice). My goal is to build something similar without using Flash.
thank you in advance,
Rafa.

Non-Flash animated banner

Can anybody figure out how this animated banner was created? Right-clicking shows it's not Flash, but the animation is quite good.

Wow - that's way too much motion for me, and it really distracts from the page's mission in my opinion.
I have to agree, pointless load of annoying rubbish - unfortunately the web seems to be heading that way now. It's a case of lets throw it all in and hope the client thinks they are getting more for their money. I think many developers have lost their way...the exercise is to deliver a website with clean precise information in a user friendly format which is not going to annoy the user NOT a personal showcase for the developer.

How do I add a pre-existing flash, interactive quiz to presenter 9.0

currently, we are reviewing Presenter 9.0 as it appears to be the only option to move existing flash CBTS into SCORM for loading into our LMS. The content is not the issue. The "quizzes", for each lesson, are pre-created flash interactive videos(files, whatever...).
I want to incorporate the quiz into the existing Presenter 9.0 imported SWF content before I package everything in Scorm 1.2 I am hoping that I do not have to hop into yet 1,2,3 or more other applications to solve what would be a very easy problem, albeit flash being involved.
Steps....
1) Start Powerpoint.. Import SWF content (existing, interactive) using Presenter plugins..
2) add a SWF quiz that relates to Step 1 content
3) pre-set for SCORM 1.2
4) Package SCORM Content..
Exist Presenter use...
Thank you for any assistance..

My biggest concern here would be the effectiveness of the Flash Quiz content you are embedding in the presentation. Presenter has its own reporting that will take precedence over an embedded SWF file. For example, if you created a Captivate project with reporting, and then embedded it into a Presenter presentation, the only report you would see would be that the viewer(s) viewed the slide with the Captivate SWF in it. None of the Captivate reporting would be recorded.
For this reason, I suspect that Presenter won't report your quiz content as expected, but hey, you can get a 30-day free trial of Presenter 9, so it is easy to test and validate. Presenter could prove me wrong (it has happened before)!

I am having trouble viewing iStore. It appears as if its a Flash issue, as several minutes after logging in to iStore I get a non-flash page of iStore in my iTunes window. I have re-installed everything and tried opening all ports in router....any ideas?

I am having trouble viewing iStore. It appears as if its a Flash issue, as several minutes after logging in to iStore I get a non-flash page of iStore in my iTunes window. I have re-installed everything and tried opening all ports in router, and used msconfig to bring up each service individually to see if there is an effect.Flash and iTunes have been re-installed ...any ideas?

I agree. I don't rely on iCloud as a backup, that is what I have my portable hard drive for. Its 500 GB so I can hold my entire iTunes library several times over on it. I have all my movies on my hard drive, but somehow "The Mist" got deleted off of my hard drive, so I figured "Well, the option to redownload an already purchased movie is available through iCloud, I'll just do that!"
And permissions and download availability have nothing to do with it, the movie's still there, it still allows me to redownload it. The only problem is when I click download, I get that message.
And nobody else uses my computer, but I do have multiple accounts authorized on it. Even still though, I am attepmpting to download it through the account I purchased it under. :/

Best way to insert non-flash photo album in Dreamweaver CS5.5

Using Dreamweaver CS4, I created my wife's art website. It is: www.tanglewoodbrushstrokes.com
To insert photo albums, I used Bridge and Fireworks. Once past the initial learning curve, I was able to create these albums fairly easily. However, these albums have two limitations that I would like to address.
1. Adding or deleting an image requires creating a new album and then posting it on the page. Now that I have practice, it doesn't take me very long to do this but there must be a simpler way. As you will see on my wife's site, she has many pages of photo albums. Moving photos from her "Recent Creations" page means those images my be disbursed over three or four different albums. So this can be very time consuming.
2. The albums created in this manner are flash galleries and are not visible on Iphones or Ipads.
I recently purchased Dreamweaver CS5.5 so I could use HTML5 in order to make my site work on Iphones and Ipads as well as PC's. I have nearly completed the tutorial and am about ready to create a new site. Today I have done some searching for ways to use non-flash galleries and have not come up with a definitive answer.
As you can see on my wife's website, the galleries are fairly simple. All I really need is a page of thumbnails leading to a larger image with a description. I want to keep it that way.
Any suggestions?

There is no one size fits all solution to this. You're using DW to make a gallery and it's not really a gallery creation tool per se. It's web authoring software. So whichever gallery solution you choose it's going to come from someplace else. And then you must integrate it into your HTML pages.
Personally, I really like dynamic slideshows with jQuery. Add some PHP code to your page. Upload jQuery scripts and optimized images to your server. Done.
To swap images later, add/delete files from image folder on server. Done.
You can see a live demo of this below:
http://alt-web.com/DynamicSlides/
http://jalbum.net/
If you want to generate a lot of different galleries quickly, look at JAlbum. It's a commercial product that creates the thumbnail images & HTML pages for you. There are lots of skins (styles) to choose from and you can further customize layouts with CSS.

Web Gallery in non-Flash format?

Are there any extensions or anything to allow Bridge to Export a Web Gallery into a non-flash format? In my site I am trying to pay particular attention to accessibility and flash is inherently non-accessible, and also does not work with some of the most popular mobile devices (iPad, iPhone, iAnything). Essentially I am looking for some kind of HTML5 Web Gallery. Any help would be greatly appreciated.

Hi there -
I'd try posting your question over in the Flash general forum. You could also try the Flash site design forum. The folks over there will probably be able to help you solve your issue

Flash Interaction Influencing Score in Captivate

Hi everyone,
I've created a couple of questions in Flash CS5 that I want to use in a Captivate 5 project and have the outcome of the flash interaction influence the score in captivate. I've got the Flash movie incrementing the cpQuizInfoTotalCorrectAnswers (upon success) and cpQuizInfoTotalQuestionsPerProject and that works fine. But, when I get to the scoring page, it's not counting the added flash question even though the variable incrementing works. The flash movie is embedded on a regular slide as I couldn't see how to embed it on a Question slide.
Am I using the wrong variables? How can I get captivate to include the score from the Flash movie? Do I need to score the quiz differently/manually?
Thanks in advance!
-Brian

I would suggest you investigate building your Flash interactions as either interactive widgets or question widgets for Captivate. That way, Captivate will allow you to specify scoring and integrating them into a project will be much easier.
You can learn a lot about building Captivate widgets from the Widget King blog:

Export as non-Flash file?

Hello,
I've inherited some tutorial files that were developed in
Captivate, but I'm now working in an environment where Flash is not
deployed as standard. Are there any alternate Save or Export
options available in the current version that do not reply on
Flash, either as an Application or ActiveX?
If not, can anybody suggest a method to re-purpose the files
for a non Flash environment?
Many thanks
Chris

Hi jerosejr
Sounds like you are pointing at only the skin.SWF? My might
wish to try pointing at the Main.SWF instead. If you really want or
need the playback controls, try DE-selecting the Borders via
Project > Skin... > Borders tab. This should banish the
_skin.SWF and force the playback controls into the main.SWF.
Cheers... Rick

How important is it to have non-flash content for iPAD?

Hi there.
I'm busy building a site with an image rotater in the header with a couple of images from the products. This rotater works with flash which does not work with iPAD. How important do you rate it to definitely have non-flash content as to have the odd cosmetic slide show here and there?
Regards,
Deon

Wonder why iOS does not like flash?
Hi
On Android devices the reason given for dropping support, (or no support in the case of iOS) was because it was literally possible to watch the battery power indicator drop whilst watching anything that required flash.
On a Samsung Galaxy it only required 7 minutes of Flash video to drain the battery, and on an Android budget tablet I also use for testing, (sub £150) 3 minutes.

After installation of adobe flashplayer ver.15 in add-ons manager apperars plugin shockwave flash 15.0.0.189 - and non flash games works

After update of Nightly to ver 36. appears problem with flash animation/games
Downloaded (from adobe.com) and installed adobe flash player ver.15.0.0.189 appears in list of plug-ins as "Shockwave player 15.0.0.189" - and non flash animation(games) works.
Already uninstall all AD-blocking software, repeatedly restart comp after installation adobeflash - nothing helps

You got the terms and version wrong in first reply.
The first link is to Shockwave player (not flash) and version is 12.1.3.153
and second is indeed Flash player but at version 15.0.0.189.
The Shockwave player is not used much (and there is not even a plugin for Linux) so don't bother with it.

AW keyboard focus after Flash interaction

Hi all and happy new year!
I am using AW7.02, Windows XP, Flash v8 (loaded using
ActiveX).
I have the following setup:
In a pageturner made in AW I have an interaction icon placed
inside a
Framework. On the interaction icon I have several perpetual
buttons, one in
particular to flip to the next page (next icon on framework).
This button
interaction has RightArrow and PageDown keys assigned to it.
So, while
running, if I hit right arrow or page down I will flip to
next page. This
works fine.
I also load and display Flash on the pages using ActiveX
(Shockwave Flash
Object). The Flash are animations, so the user can click on
Flash
controllers to play/pause etc.
The problem:
So, user can flip to next page with keyboard just fine, as
long as the user
does not hit anything in the Flash ActiveX first. So for
example, if the
user pauses the movie clicking the pause button in the Flash
ActiveX and
then hit the right arrow key, then nothing happens. (I want
page to be
turned). The user must first hit somewhere outside the Flash
ActiveX in the
AW window before the keyboard triggers the buttons again.
Attempts:
All my attempts have only been in author mode and not
packaged mode.
I've done some attempts sending event from Flash after button
in Flash has
been pressed. This is picked up by AW (confirmed with trace)
and then I've
tried to:
- set focus to interaction icon that holds the button using
SetKeyboardFocus(InteractionIconID). Did not work.
- set window focus using baActivateWindow(baWinHandle) (from
Buddy API). Did
not work, and as far as I could see the active window
remained the same (=
AW window) during Flash interaction, so probably not so
strange it didn't
work.
So, does anyone have any idea on how I can fix the focus
problem? The only
workaround that I am left with right now is to set up the
same keyboard
interaction in the Flash as in the AW and send this info back
to AW as
events. This is not ideal due to update issues and unclear
codestructure.

Hi again!
Just a little update.
I tried to package, but that didn't help.
So I went for the the workaround where I pick up keyboard
pressing in Flash
and send this info back with fscommand:
FSCommand("keypress", Key.getCode());
I pick up the event in AW and filter it with keypress as
#command. I then
get the key code from the #arg list and have a property list
where I link
the key code with the keyname used in AW. I then use the
KeyPress function
as suggested by Erik. As a result, any updates I make to what
the different
keys do needs only be done in AW, so I guess it isn't too
bad.
Thanks for help and tips!

Looking for a non-Flash mp3 player

Can anyone recommend a non-flash mp3 player? I've looked around on the web quite a bit but it seems the ones I'm finding all use flash. I need one that will work on the iPad and iPhone for my websites.
Thanks!

Hi
I wonder why not show you how to use Quicktime.
Because I would use the html5 audio, that way the browser chooses the 'player' to use, and I wanted to give the OP the choice -
<audio controls preload="auto" autobuffer>
<source src="elvis.mp3" />
<source src="elvis.ogg" />

</audio>

Flash interaction on a frame

I've added a Flash interaction to one frame. It seems that
once clicked on the screen, it goes on to the next frame. Is there
a way to stop the usual navigation (click to continue) and depend
on the bottom navigation only for that specific frame?
thanks,

Try adding a Captivate click box and have it pause the slide
AFTER your Flash interaction on the timeline.
If you configure the click box's On success property to "No
action" then the slide should essentially become disabled at that
point and the user must use the playbar to continue.
