Simple image pan using Flash CS3

I need help panning a long jpeg image resting on the bottom layer of my first Flash project.
I simply need to pan the image from right to left in a continuous loop, which I'm sure is a simple thing to program, yet I can't seem to locate instructions or a tutorial that explains it.
Can anyone help?

Try the following tutorial...

Simple data inventory using flash cs3

is it possible to create very simple data inventory for
example for a library using flash cs3?
This is not for online purpose... the application contain a
form where users can enter data about the books like date returned
and so on..

you're welcome :)
1) that is correct. unfortunately, we can't 'write' to an xml
file from Flash, one needs to parse the data sent from Flash using
a server-side script such as php to perform the actual writing of
the file and store it to a directory location. so in this sense, it
may be 'easier' to use a local database and server (running on the
same machine) and use a intermediary 'helper' interface such as
amfphp.
2) Flash does contain several classes to work with xml data
internally, and is quite powerful in that regard. however, if you
opt to use a system like a DB and amfphp, it can use 'regular'
Flash objects to send and receive data and handles the conversion
automatically, so would ultimately be both simpler to implement and
very very fast. some basics on amfphp can be found here:

Was using Flash 8 on a PC now using Flash CS3 on MAC X and having problems

Hello,
I'm currently creating a photo gallery displaying thumbnails
of the original main image.
I was using Flash 8 on a PC and now am using that same file
on a MAC OS X using Flash CS3. And now the thumbnails are not
visible. The main image appears but the thumbnails do not.
The SWF created with Flash 8 viewed properly but when I
opened the fla in Flash CS3 the thumbnails stopped appearing and
I'm not sure what to do?
Any help or suggestions would be greatly appreciated!
Thanks

Whoops, maybe I posted this in the wrong forum

MDT Image Deployment Using Flash Drive

Hi,
In my environment i am using MDT 2010 image deployment process to deploy Windows XP and Windows 7 OS images,
As image deployment is foccussed on multiple remote locations we have planned to move with USB Flash drive (Pen Drive) for image deployment,
The problem occurs here in normal system through diskpart utility i can able to get all the disks including my flash drive but in win pe mode i am unable to get my flash drive listed in diskpart utility.
so the image deployment process hangs on to the microsoft solution accelerator screen i am unable to predict the actual reason but i can predict this can happen because of mass storage driver problems.
I tried the same using USB Hard Disk and succeded with the deployment and i am unable to guess what makes difference between USB Hard disk and USB Flash Drive.
Can you just help me out on this to close the problem ASAP..
So that i can proceed with my roll out activities.
Thanks in advance,
Siva

Hi,
At last the image deployment using flash drive works for me.
I attempted the following steps,
First i converted the flsh drive to bootable flash drive using diskpart utility,This can be done in Windows 7 Operating system only.
navigate to cmd and type Diskpart,and enter the below commands,
List disk
Select Disk no
create partition primary
select partition no
active
format fs=ntfs
Assign
Exit
Upon completition,Insert windows 7 DVD to the system and do the following
Navigate to DVD Drive in my case it is G: and change directory to boot
G:cd boot
G:\Boot>Bootsect.exe /nt60 I: where I: is my flash drive
Then copy the contents to the Usb flash drive and change the first boot device of the target system to local hard disk and deploy the image
while in Win pe mode use disk part utility to check whether your disk got detected.
If everything is ok then it will work.
Thanks for your valuable time.
Thanks and Regards,
Siva

JPEG size and image losses in Flash CS3

I am creating a website for a wedding and using the photos of the couple on the website. I created designs in Photoshop CS3 with the following settings:
Document Size: 6.25" x 8.25" or 1875p x 2475p @ 300pixels/inch
To use the image in flash, I used "Save As" in photoshop to convert image into JPEG with "Quality 10 Maximum" setting.
I created a Flash CS3 document with the following settings:
Document Size: 6.25" x 8.25" or 494 x 550 pixels
I imported the JPEG image from photoshop into flash and came in an image much larger than 6.25"x8.25". I resized the image in flash with constrained dimensions to 494x550 pixels and it the text shadows and glow lost its clarity.
TRIAL 1
Obviously something was wrong. So, I went back to Photoshop and used the save for web/devices option and saved it as a high quality JPEG. Same result.
TRIAL 2
This time, I tried a different trick in Photoshop. I went to Image->Image Size and changed the image resolution to 150pixels/inch and used "Save As" again. I imported it again to Flash and now the image was too small.
How do I match the image "save as" from photoshop to the flash document size so that I dont lose resolution? I used Zoomify in photoshop successfully without losses. Why is it not possible to just import an image to look the same way a JPEG file appears?

Hi,
screen resolution is 72. So if you save your jpg at 72 with the desired size in pixels, the image will appear just fine inside flash, but, two things to keep in mind:
-What counts is size in pixels. Resolution only matters when you go printing (where the rate between inches and pixels is needed). For web you have to watch the size in pixels only. Even if resolution is different from 72, if you scale the image to the original size in pixels it will be displayed well in the flash movie (if the movie itself isn't scaled neither)
And, it isn't the exactly same to import to scenary that to import to library. When you import to scenary (ctrl+r) sometimes flash resize the object, so maybe you get some distorsion in jpg files. Going to transform panel or in property inspector panel you can set the image size to 100 percent again. When you import to library you have to drag the image into the stage, and then the image will appear at 100%.
i hope this helps,
Jorge

How do you build an image gallery in Flash CS3 actionscript3?

Use Flash CS3 component in Flex

As a bit of a n00b, this may be a stupid question...
If I were to get a component made for use with "Flash CS3",
once it's compiled to a swf & fla, is it entirely usable in
Flex [Builder] 3 ? Say I didn't want to re-skin it, and it was
fully programable via AS?
Is this a "it depends"? Is it a "absolutely, you just need
CS3 to compile it first"?
Thanks in advance,
AJ

I think you need to either use it as an as file or compile it
as a swc,
unless you want to load it into a swfloader.

Error when trying to use Flash CS3...

I just downloaded the Flash CS3 free trial from the Adobe
website. I installed everything and it installed fine.
After the install I try to open the program and an error
saying "License for this product has stopped working." Now I did a
search on the Adobe support site and found the page with supposed
fixes for this problem, but none of them work. I am using Windows
Vista Home Premium. When I go to the Administrator Controls panel
and go to Services I don't even see FLEXNet on the list.
I have tried uninstalling and reinstalling it multiple times
but the same thing happens every time.
Any advice?

How are you trying to update? and What exactly are you doing before you get this error?
If you downloaded the updater, it could be corrupt, so you should try downloading again.

Using Flash CS3 Within Authorware 7

I'm having trouble getting a Flash CS3 piece to work correctly.
I wrote a Flash program to print a completion certificate based on the data passed from Authorware. However when I try to run it from Authorware using the Flash Movie Sprite icon, the print dialog box comes up multiple times.
The variables are passed and everything works correctly except the print dialog box comes up 3 times.
Any thoughts on what could be causing this? I've attached the files.
How would I go about doing this using only Authorware?
Thanks
Mark

Hi Mark,
I think your problem may be the actual Flash file (or version of Flash you have used).
I have found Flash newer than the old v5 does not work well in AW. I think it has something to do with Action Script Version 2 and especially Version 3. AW has not been updated since AS1 came out. You might be able to save as an early version of flash (v5?).
I don’t think this will work because AS3 is completely different to AS1 & 2. AS3 is more a developers tool. Adobe need to update AW so it can take advantage of the new Flash functions.
If you can’t get it to work you might try this method of printing:-
On you AW CDROM:\Goodies\BrummellAssociates\PrintDemo and print this way.
From what I can remember it is confusing in that some of the measurements are set in inches and some in pixels (or something like that, I’m sure you will find out if you look).
Chris Brummell has a better version (for sale at £100!), they have a web site:
wwwDOTbrummell-associatesDOTcoDOTuk (please replace the “DOT” with a “.”)
This seems expensive to print a certificate but if you have enough customers.
I like your certificate though. Nice idea and good feed back.

Text doesn't show, scroll bar does? using Flash CS3 Please help!

A little background: I made text box, typed some text, converted it to a movie clip, named etc. Used a purchased and proven scroller component ... followed directions to the letter, including referencing/linking the files. However, when I tried to test the scroll bar .... the scroll bar appears, scrolls and works perfectly except the text does not appear. I have tried making a scroll bar with the UIscrollbar same thing happens. I made an other attempt and put pics along with the text in the movie clip ... this time the pics appeared and scrolled, but the text still would not appear. PLEASE HELP. I am on a deadline and can't get past this scroll bar issue. THANK YOU!

Hi
Thanks for the tip. I did embed the text, but still not showing. Currently, I have the text box set to the following: Dynamic Text, Multiline, Border Around text, Anti-Alias for Animation (but I have tried all choices and embed the text each time).
Here are the original instructions with the FTscrollbar which I followed exactly.
1. Drag the component (FTscrollbar) from the components panel to the stage.
2. Create a new movie clip to be scrolled:
     a. create a textfield on the scene and type in a few lines of text
     b. select the text fields and covert them to a move clip symbol having the registration point top left. (I did top right since my scroll bar is on the right).
     c. give the new movie clip an name in properties panel.
3.Select the component of the stage and configure its parameters in the parameters panel or component inspector panel.
     a. Instruc the component to scroll the new created movie clip as the targetMovieClip
     b. Set the viewAreaHeight and viewAreaWidth
     c. set snapMode to snapToView value
     d. leave rest of parameters unchanged unless you want to adjust.
4. Test Movie (contol/test movie)
On the FTscrollbar, I have the targetMovieClip set to the movieclips name the only other parameters the instructions said to change were veiwAreaHeight=100 veiwAreaWidth=150 which were the defaults. When I change this numbers the scroll bar goes away and the text still doesn't appear? The scroll bar is 16 x 140, the text box to be scrolled is 130 x 143 and the entire flash page is 500 x 550. I am not sure what the viewAreaHeight and viewAreaWidth are for ... or if that could be the problem? I have never had problems with scrollers but I used MX. I just recently purchased the CS3 and I am not sure what I am not selecting or not selecting but if feel it's probably something simple I am overlooking. So any more ideas are MOST APPRECIATED. If you need more info from me to help solve, please feel free to ask. THANKS!

Simple image rotator using Fireworks

I have Design Premium CS4. So I have Flash, Fireworks, Dreamweaver, etc. I'd like to create a simple slide rotator to put on the site. I've created a photo gallery with Fireworks. It's easy but I don't want all the header information and navigation buttons. I just want a simple box on the page where the images will rotate automatically without headings, nav buttons, etc. I know there are simple java scripts out there but I want to try something which is easily configurable and easily modified as the images will be changed frequently.
Is there a way to configure the Fireworks gallery to not display the header information? Is there another way to accomplish what I want using other programs in Design Premium CS4?
Thanks in advance for the help.
Steve

A quickie way would be to design it as an animated GIF in Fireworks, but save it in Flash format. If you'd like to try this, add the images to seperate 'States', and then choose File > Save As > Adobe Flash SWF. Click the Options button in the Save As Window to set the SWF export options.

Autorun CD Menu Using Flash CS3

I created a Flash file that I will use as a menu for an
autorun cd. I have CS3 and used AS 2 to create the files. If I test
the movie, it doesn't launch the files. If I publish it as a
projector file, I can launch the other files. After I burn the
files onto a cd, insert it into another computer and open the
projector file, it will not launch the files. Any thoughts on what
I am doing wrong? Any help would be greatly appreciated.
Thank you.

How to align Flash web to center using Flash CS3?

Hi, anyone have the same issue as me? I wanted to align my
flash web to center on the IE. I have selected the alignment to
center before publish on the web? Why is the command not useful or
working? Please advice!

hi,
the center issue you used is center the Flash in the player
area. But to center the page in the web page, you need to center ti
from the HTML. you can dd the Flash code inside the div center code
<div align="center"> flash content </div>

Runtime image manipulation using Flash

I would like to know if it's feasible to load an image (jpg,
gif, bmp and such) into Flash and then let the user modify it in
order to stretch, crop, adjusting contrast/brightness, removing
"red-eyes". I'm not aware of any image manipulation libraries in
Flash, which is why I'm asking this.

well, here's the showResult method:
/**showResultImage() creates and shows results of manipulating pixels[]*/
     public void showResultImage() {
          int tempPixl;
          int postOpWidth = postOpPixels[0].length;
          int postOpHeight = postOpPixels.length;
          int[] tempPix = new int[postOpHeight * postOpWidth];
          for (int i=0; i<tempPix.length; i++) {
               tempPixl = postOpPixels[i / postOpWidth][i % postOpWidth];
               //create gray-level pixel. 0xFF makes it opaque.
               tempPix[i] = 0xFF000000 | (tempPixl << 16) | (tempPixl << 8) | tempPixl;
          } //End of i loop thru postOpPixels
          resultImage = Toolkit.getDefaultToolkit().createImage(
                    new MemoryImageSource(postOpWidth,
                     postOpHeight, tempPix, 0, postOpWidth) );
          scrollResultImage.remove(resultImagePanel);
          resultImagePanel.remove(resultImageDisplay);
          resultIcon = new ImageIcon(resultImage);
          resultImageDisplay = new JLabel(resultIcon);
          resultImagePanel.add(resultImageDisplay);
          scrollResultImage.getViewport().add(resultImagePanel);
     } /*End of showResultImage()*/
