Please help, simple flash intro

Hello,
I have an intro page which consists of two layers. one with
an image that fades in the other with the stop action.
When I upload the movie to the site the loading time is 15
seconds (blank screen)
Please could some one help me with a adding a preloader
layer? so that veiwers know to wait. I can't seem to get one to
work through tutorials.
Thanks in advance.

What you would need is more something like preload frames.
Evry frame will/can be displayes only after its content has
been (down-)loaded, so you have to make a frame without the image
before the frame with the image.
A frame with text like "pleas be patient image is loading",
that extends (layer-wise) to the frame where your image appears
first would be the simplest solution.

Need Help Adding Flash Intro To Existing Site

OK I'm helping a buddy of mine out and he's already got his sie built for him by someone else, the index file is .php. Now I've got this little Flash animation that we want to run first, then when it's done go to his website. When I try to add it to the top of the index page all that happens is the site loads like in normally did but with the Flash movie at the top instead of being another page. What do we need to do to have it load on it's own first?

yes. the index.html should embed your flash intro swf and at the end to your swf (and in a skip intro button code) you should open the current main page (using getURL or navigateToURL).

Please Help! Flash Installation Errors!

I had Flash CS4 working a few months ago, then I installed Air.
After it installed, I kept getting an error message whenever I tried to open Flash CS4.
I uninstalled Air, Flash, and all other Adobe programs from my computer.
Then, I couldn't install flash.
I used the CS4 Clean Script, defraged my computer, cleaned the registry, removed all traces that I could find of Adobe on my computer.
I disables my firewall, McAfee and I'm the administrator of my computer, but that didn't help.
The installation stops very close to the end and says Installation Failed
I even tried safe mode, but the fancy installer didn't work like a normal batch file and wouldn't open.
I'm using a 32-bit Windows XP.
Please Help!
The error code:
Adobe Flash CS4
Error:
Error 1625. This installation is forbidden by system policy. Contact your system administrator.

When you uninstall, make sure to use the CS4 Clean Utility thereafter. Sometimes remnants of trials get in the way. Also make sure you get rid of Adobe AIR and Acrobat.com. These are separate from the main install and need to be removed individually. Likewise, you may wish to check your Acrobat/ Adobe reader install and remove it, if necessary. Since it uses components shared with PS and those may in fact be newer than the ones on the Photoshop install DVD due to updates, the installer may not liek them. And of course with all things Vista: Run as admin on first program launch so the activation can proceed and all other options can kick in correctly.

Please Help. Flash will not show up

Maybe I'm missing something. I have installed Flash. When it
was done it took me to the Adobe page that said "you have
version..."
Yet I can't find the app. anywhere on my computer. When I do
a search 65 folders come up. The only thing that comes up in
Applications is flashplayertrust.app and that's through my epson
printer folder.
I have other media players installed. Quicktime, RealPlayer,
Adobe Media Player, Flip For Mac, Windows Media Player for Mac.
I did have Perian installed and I removed that to see if that
would help.
I have installed, un-installed, re-installed, restarted my
computer. Still nothing
I also repaired my disks.
Please help me out. What am I doing wrong here?

Sally,
OK since you using 2 computers, we will first focus on the one that will not uninstall iTunes, afterwareds we will get the ipod working on one PC first.
On the PC that will not uninstall iTUnes, goto control panel>add and remove and try if you can to uninstall iTUnes AND quicktime. Then go here and roll down to "Clean up iTunes installer files on the computer" http://docs.info.apple.com/article.html?artnum=93976
Once done disable any antivirus or security programs, then goto apple.com to download and install the latest iTUnes.
Also on BOTH pcs make sure you have "ipod updater 06-28-2006" you can download and install it here http://www.apple.com/ipod/download/
Once iTunes is properly installed on this PC, you need to only connect your nano to the main PC you use for now so we can get it working, then we'll focus on the other PC if needed

You have 2 sets of errors, at least.
The first is : Exception in thread "main" java.lang.NoClassDefFoundError: java/util/HashSet which is that you have not imported the class for hashset.
The second is that the import of the jars is probably wrong, hard to say without seeing code.

I have a simple list in access - it contains 15 fields in the table - very simple. I need EVERY drop down box on the page to ref. this table to populate the list - which changes on a daily basis. There will be a total of 35 drop down boxes on the form - all pointing to the exact same CHANGING list.

Please help (Simple chat programme)

I made a simple chat programme.
It has a server object and it can handle several client.
It is working properly and can use to chat.
I have some problems. can you please help me.
1.What is the best method to read input and outputStreams
I have used inputStream.readUTF()/outputStream.writeUTF() methods and
also I have used bufferedReader.readLine()/Printwriter.println() methods.
I don't know about other methods.So please tell me what is the best and new out of these two.
And are there any method which is better than these two.
2.Is there any way to get more details from input and output streams
Here more details means Fontcolor,Size etc;
by now I'm adding them in to my output streams and filtering them when rea input stream.
I'm getting other details(Fontcolor,Size) and add them all to a string.
that means if client type "hi" my string will be something like this
"12ff0000hi".
When read the input stream i make a char[] and take first 2 chars to integer next six to a string and rest
to another string.
I think now you can understand my concept. So I'll not tell every thing.(if you want i can fully describe it)
I' feeling this is very bad way to do that kind of work.
Am i correct?
so can you give me some hints or examples to do such kind of things.

PLEASE HELP! Flashing desktop/finder - can't do anything!

Hi,
My mac just went crazy and I have no idea what to do, Please help me!
I've just installed a program called Slideshow Magic (shareware downloaded from download.com) and after making 2 slideshows the finder just started flashing. Basically all the desktop icons and the top bar appear then dissapear about every 2 seconds, the little black arrow next to the Finder icon in the dock appears and dissapears at the same intervals, so I assume the Finder is opening then quiting, opening and quitting over and over.
All other programs can be opened from the dock.
I've tried restarting and shutting down but the same problem occurs everytime I start up.
Can anyone suggest what has gone wrong or more importantly how to fix it, it has all my art college work on and I've got a deadline next monday so I really need to get back on my feet. Any help will be MOST appreciated!
Thanks for your time
George
Power Mac G4 Desktop

Hello,
Thank you both for your suggestions, however neither have worked.
Dale, I went through Dr Smokes guide and all was fine apart from the Cache Cleaning software. I couldn't install the software as the finder isn't open long enough to allow me to do so.
Niel, I tried booting with Command and S held down and ran the commands you suggested but to no avail.
A couple of things I tried doing myself...
I ran the Hardware Test by booting from the cd and holding the option key. I ran the extended test and everything passed, so I know its not a hardware issue.
I then booted from the cd again and updated the system software, upon restarting the desktop appeared fine, but after about a minute it reverted to it's flashing state. The two files that I created from the slideshow program (that originally caused this problem) are still on the desktop and I assume that they have caused it to go again.
Can you suggest a way that I can delete these files and consequently stop the machine crashing every time I update the software?
Cheers
George

Please Help with Flash Install

Ok I have Windows Vista & I am running Internet Explorer.
My problem is that I cannot get flash to install. I go
through the install screen. My cpu asks if I want to continue &
I say yes. Then a window pops up saying all IE needs to be
restarted save your work. I say OK. Then everything gets restarted
the flash movie is playing saying install good. But when I check
other sites it is no good. Of course I have done all these things
about 10 times & nothing
I have done everything I can think of restarting the cpu,
deleting temp & cookie files, Disk Clean Up, Virus Protection
On & Off, IE security levels all the way down.
Nothing works. When I go and look at my add & remove
programs It’s not even there All I have is Adobe Photoshop,
Reader & Shockwave.
Please help someone because it seems like all my favorite
sites need flash to run!
Thanks
Brian

Good question, I can't get flshh to install under XP either.
(Why must it be so HARD TO INSTALL SOFTWARE?)
I get Active-X errors to start then when I lower Windows
security until I have none I am able to get the installer to go ,
but it seems to hang during the install, the installer never
finishes.
Remember when we could just download a file that contained an
installer and it worked? Since the web based method of installing
does not work can we go back to the older method that does?
Fancy is good for nothing if it does not work!!

PLEASE HELP - Simple movieclip click to URL is NOT working... Why???

I've tried over 4 tutorials to make my movieclip link to a URL. It's just not working for some reason...
Here is my code.
ondemand.addEventListener(MouseEvent.CLICK,goThere);
function goThere(e:MouseEvent){
var request:URLRequest = new URLRequest("www.money.net");
navigateToURL(request);
ondemand.buttonMode = true;
ondemand.useHandCursor = true;
stop();
ondemand is a movieclip instance with a PNG image of text.
This should work!! There are no compilation errors...
No mouse cursor change on hover... just like nothing is there.
Please help...

I am overall confused by your description of what you have, especially when you get to doubleclicking the movie and assigning code in it.
In any case, you need to assign the name (the same name) to every instance of a tweened object. The lack of a name in earlier frames will be inherited by instances in subsequent frames
I'm confused about your mention of 3 instances being in the library. Just for clarity, an instance is a library symbol (or an object) that you place on the stage. If you place two of the same objects on the stage, then you have 2 instances. Items in the library are instance-wanna-bes. If you have three different symbols in the library, and you are tweening them as if they were the same, your tween can't possibly work.

Please help, simple requirement using Layers, there must be a solution?!

Hi, I am using a trial version of Adobe Acrobat X Pro, with a view to purchasing the program for several members of my staff. However, it does not seem to be able to do something fairly simple which I need.. unless someone can help please! I work with maps that come to me as pdfs, and I need to be able to add text items (with arrows) to these maps that are then visible only when certain layers are selected in the new pdf, so that the three sub-contractors I distribute our completed maps to can view either all the text/arrows we have added, or only the info relevant to them if they prefer.
We've tried saving three maps each with different info on then importing them as three new layers to the original map, but that doesn't give the functionality to interchange views and it's very time-consuming. We've tried using InDesign on trial version but the layers are messy in the exported pdf (adds obsolete layers as a 'feature', the administrator in the InDesign forum said). I've experimented with the pre-flight functions in Acrobat Pro but found them not so user-friendly. Is there a way to select some text items and export them to a tiff with transparent background, then import these as a new layer perhaps? Or please someone tell me I'm being stupid and this was addressed in a simple function since Acrobat v2?!

Thanks all, I do appreciate these feedbacks, but I am struggling to understand the analogy between a car and iPad. When buying a car in a different location, you are adviced of all the features and then you take a decision if you are okay with it or not. But this was not the case with the iPad. I only found that out after a while being that it is my first iPad. Of course I will not make this same mistake again but I find it challenging that there are no provisions for correct this facetime issues for none residents.
I assume as you have all continiously stated that I may not make a difference on this as a lone voice but if Apple can consider making it possible for none residents or insisting that this is explicitly mentioned at the point of sales in Duabi for Apple products then it begins to be fair. In the car example, you are at least sure that certain feutures are unavailable and do not realize this after the purchase is done and you are back to your home country.
I also think saying "Dubai iPad" might not be correct as I always believed I was dealing with Apple product which out to give same level of satisfaction accross the globe....
I am a frequent traveller and really it would not have been inconveniencing not to buy this iPad when I did as I could have bought it from the UK, US or SA.....but just thought iPad was iPad everywhere.
Again why do I really have to buy another one? These cost money. And I do not have a shop to sell it as a non-facetime ipad. I would have expected apple center to receive these ipads and replace them or correct them.....
I am just listing this out incase the Apple team can see some sence in what I am saying. There are a number of ways this current situation would have been avoided for people like me.
Regards

Need Help Making Flash Intro Movie

I have a 30 second .wmv movie I need to convert to a flash
format. No problem.(fla or swf)? But, I would like it to play
before going into my main website with a skip into button. I need a
preloader and to have it go directly onto the index.html (first
page of the website) after playing. I have mad many failed
attempts! Can anyone help me do this?
Thank You,
[email protected]

actually - let me re-phrase that; who would sit and wait to
download a 30 minute intro before
entering a site?
There's plenty of info in the help docs about flash video -
tons of articles on adobe's site
dedicated to flash video - google is your friend here.

Please help, simple question about Smart Playlists and Live Updating

PLEASE for some reason I've never gotten an answer on this.
I have a Smart Playlist called "Recently Played" with Live Updating. No matter how I set the parameters, the most recently played *song will ALWAYS appear on the bottom of the list when using my iPhone on the go.* I bolded that because I want you to be aware I'm not talking about on iTunes - I'm aware you can change how the list is viewed on iTunes.
When using your iPod/iPhone on the fly and Live Updating is enabled, is there any way to make the most recently played song appear at the very top???
Thanks so much

Haven't seen that problem before but try the following: in iTunes, right-click the playlist name and enable the option "Copy to Play Order." Then sync.
The normal use of "Copy to Play Order" when you have the playlist displayed in iTunes in some sort order, but you want it to display in the iPod in shuffled order (as it will actually play). Different problem than you are observing, but the same thing "might" help.... Let us know.

Please help with Flash A.S 2.0 CS3

Hello,
I downloaded a flash template and have modified it to suit
our company but there is something that I can't do. When the file
loads in the browser, music immediately plays and loops until you
click a button to stop the music. On our video page, we have video
that we need to play that has sound in it. How do I get the
background music to stop when my video plays without having to go
up and stop the music manually. The videos are loaded via an
external XML document and there are no buttons in the FLA file to
link code to. the website is www.martinmediaproductions.com thanks
in advance for any help.
Laura

I guess I just don't know where to write the code since there
are no physical buttons. The xml document is somehow loaded (that
contains the information for the video section). The videos that
are clickable are not located in the Flash FLA file and that is
where I don't know what to do. I tried attaching the StopAllSounds
code to the VIDEO button at the top, but it screwed up the loading
of the videos. Anyway, it's a tough one..
Laura
