Website Homepage flash movie, help

I am managing a website and would like to create a flash
sideshow to replace our static looking image on our homepage.
Nothing too fancy just a simple fade in and out between about
4 pictures, click on the picture it takes you to a url for the
product, and buttons at the bottom to go back to a previous
slide/frame.
Here is a link to a site with exactly what i would like to
accomplish. May be a tad faster rotation speed.
Sferra the big
flash thing on the homepage
I am pretty new to flash, but i am knowledgeable in photoshop
and have dabbled with dreamweaver and fireworks. If there are some
tutorials that could help me out, or any advice someone could give
me on how to accomplish this I would really appreciate it.

If it's the flash you want to edit, you need Flash or Swish

FLASH MOVIE HELP

Hi there,
I recently purchased a template with a built in flash movie.
I use DW CS3 version 9 and would like to know if it is possible to
edit the content? It holds some photos and text that I need to
change.
Thanks

When opening the website, the Flash movie is so slow to upload.

Why is it that the flash animation is so slow to upload to the site...Is this something I need to do or something to discuss with the server folks at Godaddy?

If you just have one SWF file, then you might want to try this tutorial http://www.republicofcode.com/tutorials/flash/as3preloader/
Basically, you will be monitoring the bytesLoaded of bytesTotal
var total:Number = this.stage.loaderInfo.bytesTotal;
var loaded:Number = this.stage.loaderInfo.bytesLoaded;
Or try to search other tutorials with keywords "preloader" and "AS3". If you encounter any problems, feel free to ask.

Help with multiple flash movies in same website

I'm trying to create a website in dreamweaver. I created the
artwork in fireworks. a slice of it i exported to flash to create
rolling clouds over the background. i also want in the same swf
file a screen for my main content. ( I used a scrollPane component
that works nice. But for each button on my web menu (home,
schedule, ect...), I want to be able to put new content in my
scrollPane. My buttons don't reside in my flash movie. Do I need to
create a new movie for each web page?
I'm not sure how to procede.
Can anybody help?

It seems that when you import an external flash movie into
Captivate 1, the full path is...
"_level0.slide0__image_mc.s0_i9_swf_mc.m_swf_mc"
...this was the start of the solution for my problem so I
thought it best to post in case it helps out anyone else.
BTW - The slide number changes (obviously) and so does the
'i' reference depending on the attributes you have given to your
imported movies.

Problem: Flash movie plays on desktop, but not on website

Hi, I'm new to Flash but have successfully created a Flash Movie that works using Firefox and Safari on my (iMac) desktop, but not after I upload to my website.
I started with an flv video, imported it into an fla document along with a playback skin then published it creating an html file and two swf files. I've checked the html file, and it looks fine. The flv file is only 17MB and I've uploaded all 5 files to my site on:
http://www.cantata.co.uk/temp2/minorswing.html
but all I seem to get is the control skin's "sending data" pole turning.The movie never arrives. I can get much bigger mpeg and wmv movies up on my screen very quickly.
Can anyone suggest what the problem may be? I'm running Snow Leopard on my Mac (OX 10.6.6). I've tried using different videos but nothing seems to work.
Here's the relevant html generated by Flash
<div id="flashContent">
            <object classid="clsid:d27cdb6e-ae6d-11cf-96b8-444553540000" width="640" height="390" id="minorswing" align="middle">

Many thanks if you can help

Thanks - I don't know what as2 is. I'm using Flash CS5. When I import the flv movie file, I'm asked to choose a skin and then a window comes up to tell me that the address of the flv file with respect to the other files will be minorswing.flv by which I take it to mean that all the files need to be in the same level of folder (directory). All five are in the same folder on my Mac and in the same folder on my website. I can't see how I can influence the program in choosing a different structure or outputting different html in the Publish Settings or elsewhere.
I would have expected the relative structure of the files to be maintained between my desktop, where I can play the movie in my browsers, and the website, where I can't. I was surprised there was no "src" param name in the html, and I did try inserting one, but it made no difference, so I assumed the default for the html is to be in the same folder as the html and that the minorswing.swf file would contain information on the whereabouts of the flv file and the skin swf file.
Is there a way of reading or editing the swf files to include an absolute url?

Back button & Replay button for Flash movie on website

Three questions all related:
1. I need to add a "Back" and a "Replay" button to a Flash movie that plays full screen when the link is clicked on a website. I have created the two buttons and placed them on the stage. I've given them the names back_btn and play_btn. I've tried several scripts from postings on the Forum for the replay button but all of them come up with errors such as, "1119: Access of possibly undefined property onRelease through a reference with static type flash.display:SimpleButton" when I use this script:
stop();
play_btn.onRelease = function()
play();
I also tried this script:
stop();
play_btn.addEventListener(MouseEvent.CLICK, playMovie);
function playMovie(event)
play();
It didn't report any errors, but it didn't work.
2. I saw a posting that said one needs to name the movie clip and reference it in the script. Would this be the file name of the movie after it is exported? I am unclear on this.
3. For the "Back" button, would I include the whole url to get the viewers back to the previous page or is there a shortcut way to get them back there?
If you can help, please provide detailed script as I do not know Action script.
Thank you,
Marilyn

Hi, Ned:
I have a presentation completed that is already up on a website and now I need the "Back" button and "Replay" button, so whether I'm ready or not, I have to find a solution. I know I'm missing some important step. I have Lynda.com and I can usually figure out what's wrong with the lessons on there, but this one has me stumped.
I did try the code change you sent and I was unable to get the movie to replay. I'm attaching two screen shots so you'll see that I did have the button instance named properly and the Action Script correctly written. You can "Ctrl" "Scroll" to enlarge the images on your screen.

Flash player has been installed multiple time without errors but bbc news website and even flash player help say it isn't. How do i get out of this loop? - using windows 7 ultimate and latest IE11

flash player has been installed multiple time without errors but bbc news website and even flash player help say it isn't. How do i get out of this loop? - using windows 7 ultimate and latest IE11

I have had the same problem for WEEKS and I cannot access any sites that use Flash. Flash has been installed on this computer since I bought it in 2012. I have allowed auto updates but for weeks the updates never get past Step 2 - is this because I do NOT want the Google Tool bar? I use NO tool bars as there is only 6 inches of vertical screen space. Is this because I uncheck wanting Chrome as a default browser? It is already installed, I just don't use it. I came to this site and ran the check is it installed and the system says it is either not installed or not enabled. Version 14 just downloaded about 30 minutes ago - but did not progress to Step 3 although a pop up screen came up with a finish button, which I clicked. WHAT is the problem and how do I fix it? If this were just a compatibility bug between IE11 and Adobe they have had plenty of time to fix it.

Need help with Different approaches to setting variables in a Flash movie in Adobe Flash CS3 Professional Version

Hi,
I'm using Adobe Flash CS3 Professional version of Flash
software,
I need help and guidance on
Different approaches to setting variables in a Flash movie,
what I should do in the fla file, and in the html file.
Thanks, Gil

Hi petro_jemes,
Just a little claritification, you need to add the value to the variable "[string]$ou", and also change the language in the variable "$emailbody" in the function "Get-ADUserPasswordExpirationDate".
I hope this helps.

Please Help!!!!!dynamically changing a flash movies size...

Hi i'm working on my final year dissertation and have become
intensely stressed out/frustrated & almost mental in achieving
this particular aim!!!!
what i need to know is how to
dynamically change a flash movies document size in real time,
without squashing or stretching the content,much like the banner
adds frequently seen on hotmail by companies such as orange,lexus
etc.. where the flash movies size expands on interaction
Help on this will be greatly greatly appreciated!!
Thank you.

RE: "P.S. I found it aggravating that I couldn't copy and paste text here, it wanted me to insert as a link or an image, how do you insert plain text?"
I take it you tried using the "right click" menu? That doesn't seem to work, as you noted, but, you should be able to paste text by pressing your CTRL key and while holding it down, press the "V" letter key.
CTRL + C = COPY
CTRL + X = CUT
CTRL + V = PASTE

HELP!! White frame where Flash movies should be!!!

Can't figure a single reason why this is doing what it's
doing. Everything works fine before I create the projector.....but
once I launch it and test, all my Flash movies are just white
frames of the same size as the movies are supposed to be. No sound
or anything. Does the same thing on the Mac or PC side. I've tried
checking and unchecking DTS, etc. but I can't figure this one out.
My project is due TODAY....first time I've had this problem
before, ever.....HELP!!!

I thought about that (actually made that mistake with the
Buddy API Xtra), but I just now got it to work....seems as though
it doesn't like talking to a shared drive space between my Windows
and Mac partitions, even though it'll play just fine within
Director while I'm working on the project. I copied everything
over, all the directories, etc. to my Windows side, created a test
projector from there, and voila!
Thanks for the suggestion; I used to make that Xtra mistake a
LOT.

Help targeting flash movie

I am trying to find a way to have my flash movie play on the
same dreamweaver page.
I have five buttons on the left. When I click each one I want
them to play a different flash file in the same location on the
right. As you click a different button a new flash file replaces
the old one in the same location on the right. Each flash file is a
different size. Also I designed this and sliced it in photoshop,
saved for web and devices the opened the html file in dreamweaver.
Can my issue with this still be solved.
Please help. Thanks
Dreamweaver novice.

Look at Wimpy Streaming audio/video Player. One player can
handle all your
flash videos and MP3 audio clips. Very easy to install, dirt
simple to
update playlists later.

Need Your Help with Loading SWF into another Flash Movie!

Hello,
I have created TWO Flash movies. They work just fine
individually, but I get problem when I put one into another one!
The main Flash is a Menu and the second one if a Photo Album.
The Menu is series of animation (Moving Objects) which finally
comes into rest and create the menu. The photo album is another SWF
file which is called with in the first Flash Movie (The Menu). The
SWF file is loaded as follow into the Main Flash.
MovieClip.prototype.drawRect = function(x, y, w, h) {
this.beginFill(0xFF0000, 100);
this.moveTo(0, 0);
this.lineTo(0+w, 0);
this.lineTo(0+w, 0+h);
this.lineTo(0, 0+h);
this.lineTo(0, 0);
this.endFill();
this._x = x;
this._y = y;
this.createEmptyMovieClip("mc6", 6);
mc6.lineStyle (3, 0x000000, 100);
mc6.drawRect(-77, -17, 20, 20);
mc6._xscale = 100;
mc6._yscale = 100;
loadMovie("photoAlbum.swf", mc6);
Problem arises when I click on the Play Button of the
photoAlbum.swf (Photo Album) since the execution of the play button
causes the Flash starts once again from the beginning of the entire
Flash Movie (Beginning of the animation creating the menu) and it
simply jumps into the Firm One of my Flash Movie.
Could you tell me how I can isulate what is in layer 6 (Where
the photoAlbum is loaded to) from the rest of my Flash Movie?
I hope I managed to explain my problem. I would like to take
this opportunity to thank you in advance for your help.
Cheers,
Babak

Hello Anya,
I have realized the problem arises from the Wait Function
which causes the Photo Album to pause for a period of time (Two
Seconds) once a Photo is fully displayed (I have Fade in/out Photo
Album). I realized everything works OK once I remove the function
and rather left the Photos to be flipped without any pausing (This
is an Auto-loading Album which simply Flips the photos!).
Here is the Wait Function which is causing all the trouble.
function wait()
stop();
var myInterval = setInterval(function ()
play();
clearInterval(myInterval);
}, 2000);
Thank you so much for your help.
Cheers,
Babak

Adding link to Flash movie to HTML Help

I have to output the same help in both CHM and WebHelp, and I
have to include a Flash movie (SWF) in both versions. The only way
I've found to get a link to the Flash movie to work in the compiled
CHM is to add all the Flash files to the project as "baggage" and
then insert the link. Compiled CHM then includes the Flash files.
Is this the recommended approach? Is there an easier way?
Thanks,
mel

Hi mel and welcome to our community
Indeed, adding to baggage will not hurt a thing and is
recommended. I recently published a second article dealing with
Flash content and RoboHelp that you may find useful. You may view

Flash CS3: Help me make my movie play, please!

URL: http:schoolsignsonline.com
This is an electronic sign company, so I'm trying to put a Flash movie of one of their signs onto their preexisting site. No sound, no skin, no controls, just the movie, looping endlessly.
I imported an .avi video (from a PC) from the client into Flash CS3 (on a Mac), and made sure my stage was the same size as the file parameters.
Saved the file. Tested the movie in Flash. **The movie plays just fine**. It's a picture of brightly colored balloons ascending on a black background.
I publish the movie.
I copy the .fla and .swf into the flash folder at the root level of the site on my local server.
I go into Dreamweaver CS3 to insert the movie using their Insert>Flash into the div I've created for it on the index page (which uses server side includes for the nav & footer only - no PHP involved - so each page has an .shtml extension).
I test the movie in DW by clicking on the green arrow in the properties toolbar. Nothing but white. Movie doesn't play, or if it is playing, it's only white.
What the heck. I save the page, letting DW generate the script.
I upload the revised index page, the flash folder (with the .swf and .fla files in it), and the Scripts folder to the site on the remote server.
Go to a browser. Nothing but white where the movie is supposed to be.
I asked about this on the Adobe DW group on Yahoo Groups, and they really didn't know, thinking it was a Flash problem. One of them said the movie couldn't be found. Dang it! This is a script that DW generated when I placed the movie into the page! I don't know anything about JavaScript (yet), so I'm not going to muck about in the code to break it.
BTW, the HTML for the page with the movie on it no longer validates - I hear this is typical of a CS3 Flash insertion by DW.
Can anyone PLEASE help me figure out what I've done wrong? What other info do you need from me?
Thank you in advance.
Theresa

For the Flash-generated html file, you basically want to copy the script tag in the head section....
<script src="Scripts/AC_RunActiveContent.js" type="text/javascript"></script>
into the same place in the head section of the real file.
and copy the entire section of code in the body starting with and including...
<script language="javascript">
if (AC_FL_RunContent == 0) {
.... all the stuff between....
</object>
</noscript>
into the div you mention
And in the case of what's shown above, you would want to have the AC_RunActiveContent.js file in a Scripts folder.

Variables into flash movie - Urgent help needed, please

I am hoping this is simple:
Here is my HTML code:
<param name="movie" value="orig2.swf" /><param
name=FlashVars VALUE="sname=video1.flv"><param name="quality"
value="high" /><param name="bgcolor" value="#ffffff" />
I need to pass video1.flv to the flash movie.
Here is the MOVIE data. I was told this is how to do it, but
I am sure it's missing something basic.
//insert sample link below
mediaDisplay.directLink = "
http://flash.xxx.com/flashgen.cgi?sname=&aname=xxxxxxxx/_definst_";
//pulls sname from param value in HTML
mediaDisplay.simplePlaylist = sname;
streamnameTxt.text = sname;
So, it should pull the SNAME variable from HTML and feed it
into player. If I type in SNAME variable and manually place it in
DirectLink line above, it works, but I need it to feed from HTML.
PLEASE HELP!!

I know how to pass the variable TO flash, but how do I get
the FLASH movie to receive it??
Again, here is the code in the FLA file
//insert sample link below
mediaDisplay.directLink = "
http://flash.xxx.com/flashgen.cgi?sname=&aname=xxxxxxxx/_definst_";
//pulls sname from param value in HTML
mediaDisplay.simplePlaylist = sname;
streamnameTxt.text = sname;
