Loading Techniques: Flash 5 & Flash MX Tutorial Question
Hello,
I am trying to dynamically load sound into my movie, but my problem is that when i follow this tutorial the sound doesn't play, here is a link to the tutorial:
http://www.kirupa.com/developer/mx/loading.htm
Now I don't understand what goes in the URL section of the code. Is this a place for a target path like in HTML or a place for a linkage ID name. If it is a place for the linkage ID, when I set the properties to export for AS and set in export in the first frame my preloader doesn't preload until after the sound is already loaded. I hope that wasn't too confusing. And I hope someone can help. Thanks in advance.

I have tried to follow this tutorial (XML slide show) step by step.
For some reason it is not loading anything.

All the docs (pics) I used, I labled the same as in the tutorial to make sure things worked. (though i only used 3 pics)

Can someone take a look to see if they see something wrong with the code.

Help Desperately Needed On Show Tutorial
So I'm following this tutorial: http://www.kirupa.com/developer/mx/photogallery.htm

I've run into a number of problems and eventually gotten around them, but this time I'm at the end of my rope. My presentation is a slideshow format, one on of my embedded slides I'd like to put the slideshow mentioned in this tutorial. I have the photos, and a few times I've made the slideshow work on a practice fla document. But when I try to integrate it into the actual project I keep having problems. I'm using the same code, same pictures, saving it in the same spot, and yet when I test the movie I get a "NaN" error message on my output screen.

Now the text itself is contextually sound according to the checker, and although I feel this is probably easily fixed, I've done this probably 20 time and I can't figure out what the difference is between the shows that work and the shows that don't. Could it have something to do with trying to display this show on an embedded slide? Evidently "NaN" means not a number, but I can't figure out what that would refer to, not the code because it doesn't show up on the working presentations.

I've got a huge deadline coming up and I'm desperate. Please let me know if you have any suggestions or need any more information, I'll gladly provide it.
Thank you so much, you really will be saving my life.

Tutorial For A Slide Show With Special Effects In MX
Hello:
I am looking for a tutorial on a Flash MX slide show. I want the picutres to load almost instantly as at the following url:
http://www.stonehillinn.com
The only problem with this slide show is that at the end, it goes to a cream slide before starting over. Is there a way of making a slide show seamless at the point where it repeats?
I have the instructions for building this slide show. It almost does what I want..fades into the first slide, then dissolves into the next and so on. BUT, when it goes to the end of the sequence, it abruptly jumps to the start again. That ruins the effect! I am half way through Lynda Weiman's book and have done the slide show in it but what I am looking for is something a bit more artistic and without control buttons.

Adapt Kirupa Tutorial To Show Preload Status
Hey, guys!

I am working on this tutorial http://www.kirupa.com/developer/mx/p...transition.htm

It teaches us how to make transitions between external swf´s in a really nice way. However, it does not display any preloading data when it loads an external swf, but a blinking "preloading" text. I am trying to adapt it so it will show the percentage loaded in a dynamic textfield.

Here is the original code:

Code:
onClipEvent (enterFrame) {
if (!loaded && this._url != _root._url) {
if (this.getBytesLoaded() == this.getBytesTotal()) {
loaded = true;
_root.transition.gotoAndPlay("opening");
}
}
}
And here is what I´ve got (not working):

Code:
onClipEvent (enterFrame) {
var mclL:Object = new Object();
mclL.onLoadInit = function() {
percent.text = Math.round((this.getBytesLoaded()/this.getBytesTotal())*100)+"%";
};
this.addListener(mclL);
if (!loaded && this._url != _root._url) {
if (this.getBytesLoaded() == this.getBytesTotal()) {
loaded = true;
_root.transition.gotoAndPlay("opening");
}
}
}

Any help will be really welcome. Thanks in advance, guys!

Datagrid Techniques
I'm new to using datagrids, and i'm doing ok with the basics - ie, taking some XML, grabbing what I want and throwing it in, while styling the columns to get it to look how i want.

However, I'm not sure of the best way to do something, so here i am. Here is what I'd like to do:

I'm displaying a list of students within a class. There could be N number of classes in this grid. So, by default, i'd like just the class names to display. When a class is clicked on, the names display below. When the class is clicked on again the student names would dissappar...etc.

So basically, a list of classes, with a nested list of students that can be displayed or hidden based on how the user interacts with it.

What would the best way to go about doing this?

Take which class is clicked on and just fill in that row with all the students?

Is there a way to nest a dataGrid within that row?

any tips/advice would be greatly appreciated! thanks in advance!

Help With Fade Techniques...
Hi, I wouldnt say I'm new to flash but i am by no means an expert.
I'm a graphic/web designer and ive been asked to create a bit of flash for a website, they want the flash to work like this...

http://www.bentleymotors.com/Corpora...spx?infid=1028

So when you click on the relevant colour the colour fades into the new one. Doing a standard fade from one colour to the next is easy, but what i dont know how to do is to be able to fade from whatever colour is selected to whatever colour is selected next using a button.

Oh and i'm a bit of a novice when it comes to action scripting, which is what i think ill need for this :-S

Any help would be greatly appreciated!

Many Thanks

Optimization Techniques
Hi!

I´m doing a research on RIA´s optimization techniques and I plan to implement such in my app´s next version as its getting bigger and bigger so it became a necessity to optimize it.

Currently, I´m using shared fonts, shared symbols and shared classes (the so called "dll" swf) that are all loaded once in the application lifetime, avoiding the download redundancy and optimizing the size of the subsequent swfs. However, my application is still not fast as I would like it to be, the main reason is obvious, it uses too many classes (and v2 framework adds a great deal to the class inventory). The second reason is becouse of the nature of my app: Its an online picture album. The images are stored in 1MP at the server and each time the client requests the image, its converted (scaled down) at runtime using GD. It´s very flexible as I can make many different size images without worring about saving them, however, and I would like the oppinion of more experienced web developers, I think it would bring me problems when my site gets a very high trafic AND it is slower than if I would just load the image without pre-processing it (already saved in the disk. Currently, only the 1MP "source" image is stored, the other "flavors" are generated at runtime using GD).

Also, I´ve not implemented controls such as to prevent the client to redownload the picture if it is already downloaded - how could I do that? Something that came into my mind is to use SharedObjects to cache data and some logic to implement such thing.

You can view a beta of the app here: http://www.chapeco-online.com.br/website/

Some of the client and server code has been based on Sephiroth´s ImageGallery3 (www.sephiroth.it).

Any suggestions would be very much appreaciated!

Thanks,

- Marcelo.

Preloading Techniques
lets say my movie's size consists mainly of 2 movie clips, and the rest of the mc's are tiny. what would be the best way to preload, so that wait up front is minimal, but the content is properly loaded?

should I use a preloader?

should I export the big MC's on the first frame? (is that an MX option only?)

if I use a combination of the two, should I only preload the movie like so: totalBytes to preload = size - big MC size?

Hi there,

I'm looking for some general pointers in regards to speed optimization techniques; by this I mean producing a swf file that runs essentially as smoothly published on a website as it does simply previewing.

Hey guys... it's me again... I think this is the last question I have for a while.

What techniques can be taken to optimize a site?... I want it to be efficent on size. I have provided a link to a current project as an example... I'm not looking for critique of the site. It just serves as an example for you to see what I'm currently working with.

Example Project

How do the big name sites stay optimized (like 2advanced.com and liquidchrome.com)? By the looks and the amount of graphical content these sites should be huge.

How much is to much and what do I minimize?... This is primarily a Flash forum... You guys collectivelly are some of the most knowledgable people around concering this piece of software... So I appreciate your input and help.

Masking Techniques
Greetings Ladies and Gents,

I've been in flash for quite some time but I started off on more of the development side. Now Im giving in to my " design fantansies" so Im approaching flash from a different angle. Im curious if anyone could share with me their masking techniques with more complex objects, such as curves, angles, etc. If you don't know what I mean here's a visual. This was posted here a while ago, the guy is amazing.

http://www.andreaswannerstedt.se/session/

Currently, I cut apart the image or vector as much as possible and mask them on different layers. I know that having too many masks isn't the greatest for file optimization. So Im curious if anyone else has a better way or could speculate what the best practice for this is.

As always, any replys will be much appreciated.

Thanks in advance,

How To - Speed Techniques

Sites (rather, site makers) such as www.hi-res.net and egomedia are among the best examples I've seen.

Actionscript? Frame rates? or just smart usage of imagery and timing?

I've been all over on various sites like Flashkit (examples are all painfully slow) and I haven't found anything close.

Good Book Of Techniques?
Hi there,

As a newbie, I already moved forward the stage of the simple flash dev. and I started on doing some scripting. Moreover, I did some scripting and I believe I have a clear understanding of its behavior. Now, I want to get into a more serious scripting, I went to the bookstore and I found 239847289374 manuals about scripting.
Do you know which book would be a good "must to have" as for flash scripting techniques?
Of course I can browse this great site and find plenty of examples, but I like to build things by myself, sometimes you spend more time trying to guess what others do instead of doing it by yourself, don't you think?

Thank you guys, I really appreciate your help on this.

Poor Design Techniques
What are some poor design techniques that you flash and web designers see? I thought this would be a good topic for newbies to read and get some helpful tips.

MY BIG COMPLAINT

I emplore all fellow designers to stop using frames.

Be more creative and find a better way to do whatever it is you'd like to do. If you develop for money, when your customer goes to promote a special section and link to a specific page of their site, but the nav bar was in a frame it doesn't show up when you use a page specific link. Thus most likely the user will not be able to visit any other sections of that site. There are better ways, ask if you don't know.

Sorry, just had to get that out.

Photograph Masking Techniques
Okay, what I am looking for is a tutorial or something similar that will teach me the proper way of making a photograph dissolve using a mask. Say I want to dissolve a photo using a 10 x 10 grid of circles starting to dissolve from the top left and ending at the bottom right. I know how to do this by animating a single circle, but I would need to do 100 masks. I know I am thinking of doing it the longest and worst way, but just wondered if there's a more quicker, better method. (I've looked in Flashkit movies and tuts but found nothing)

An example of the sort of effect I mean is similar to this.
http://www.persaudbrothers.com

On the homepage look at the Persaud Brothers logo effect, or even the text.

If there's a tutorial great, but any words of wisdom will be helpful.

Great Website Techniques...
Hi,

I have been checking through some the webs latest and "greatest" flash websites and was amazed with what I found! There are two websites I was particularly fascinated by:

The first is at this website:

http://www.fantasy-interactive.com/#start

It uses flash video in a very sharp and crisp way. I have followed various tutorials on how to apply video to the web via flash but the quality of my Flv movies do not come out any where near as well as theirs!! Does anyone know of some worthwhile tutorials on high end video for the web via flash?

Ok, the second is at this website:

http://www.adobe.com/special/acrobat...herbetter.html

This site also uses high quality video but uses a neat little trick were there are several pictures of various people who look at your mouse when ever you move it around! Does anyone know how this is done?

Thanks for your time, if anyone can offer help such as tutorials etc it would be much appreciated.

Best Techniques For Image Optimization
Hi, we're trying to complete our portfolio site that will have a fairly large amount of large high-quality bitmap images in certain sections.

I just want to make sure I totally understand the best image optimization techniques.

A) Is there any difference to setting the jpeg quality in the 'Publish Settings' dialog as opposed to the individual image properties dialog? (ie, if I set either to 80, would there be a difference)?

B) Is a simple fade in/out considered an animation and going to give us a big hit on quality vs. size? There is no scaling of the image.

C) If there is no movement, do I need to check 'Allow Smoothing' on each image?

D) If 'Allow Smoothing' is unchecked for each image (default), will changing the HTML quality settings (Medium, High, Best) have any affect on image quality or size?

E) In relation to C & D above, what does adding '_quality="Best";' action on first frame do differently?

F) The images are all saved as Photoshop files at 100% of size used in Flash. Would exporting to jpeg from Photoshop give us better quality vs. size than doing the jpeg optimization in Flash (ie, better jpeg compression algorithms)?

G) The files are currently .PSD files. Is saving them out as .PNGs before bringing into Flash going to really make any difference?

Thanks a lot. We need to be totally up on the proper pro techniques for this before getting too far along. It's a pretty big site.

If there are any other forums that would be recommended to find out these things, any link would also be greatly appreciated!

[F8] PLEASE HELP -navigation Techniques And Buttons
I have a couple of questions about navigation and buttons. Any help would be GREATLY appreciated. Thank you!

Navigation… I understand how to make a button work… simply make a button that links to another created page. I understand that. But what I don’t understand how to do, is have the section fade out to make a new section fade in. For example, when you are in a News section, how to have the News content fade out when you click the About section, and then have the About info fade in. Can someone please help? I use Flash CS3. Thanks!

Now, on a different page…

I want to have it so when I scroll over a button, the button lowers smoothly and becomes brighter. To my understanding, I need to create the animation of the button doing that, then set it so that when I go in the UP state of the button, it plays the animation. Is this so? And if so, how do I do that?

Scripted Motion Techniques
I am scripting a movie clip to be dynamically animated. For example using a coasting script like this:

ActionScript Code:
// Dummy Coasting
new_x = _root._xmouse;
// Target Movement
cur_x = _root.dummy._x;
speed = 12;
with (_root.dummy) {
_x=cur_x+(new_x-cur_x)/speed;
_y=_root._ymouse;
}
This gives the target dummy the 'delayed coast' motion. What I'm looking to do now is somewhat the opposite. I want a movieclip to coast, but start out slow and gradually get faster until it reaches the target position.

I think what I'm looking for is the equivalent of the 'ease' in a motion tween. Going from 100 to - 100. I've tried a few things of my own, but I'm not quite getting the effect I'm looking for.

Any ideas?

Loading Movie Techniques
Hi,

I'm familiar with the technique of loading movies into an empty MC and appreciated in the tutorial about creating the MC's with AC.

At the basic level I understand and have implement it. I'd like to use this technique an a more advance level to create my instructional project for my masters.

My main nav is an MC which will dynamically load into the main swf file, as well as a background and some text introducing the project. Right now i have an empty MC place on my main swf file acting as a container for each lesson.
Basically, depending up which lesson the user selects from the nav, a swf will load into the empty movie clip.

So it gets tricky when I start thinking about the components in each lesson. Each lesson will have the same components (other MC's for animation, video...) but different content. I'd like to also have empty MC's for each component of the lessons. I'm not sure where I would call the AS to load the components. Do I do this on the first frame of the main timeline for each lesson? Uhm ok I'll try.

So this works at the very basic where there isn't much in each lesson. Right now I am sticking with one level, but I guess I can load each lesson on a differrent level.

I was thinking about using one empty MC to load the lessons, but am I right to think that each time a lesson is replaced by another lesson, it will have have to be loaded all over if the user wants to return to it? How about placing 3 empty MCs on top of each other and then call each one for a different lesson? Maybe levels are a good idea then.

I know this is very conceptual, hey but thats were I am right now. I don't want to architect inefficiently and them come on posting to fix something that could be designed better.

Last thing about sound. If I load sound dynamically, I should be able to attach it to the timeline of an MC that contains an animation that I want to syn with the sound. Right. Ok, I have to try this. What is the AC I'd use to attach a sound called "drumbeat" to a frame.

Thank you in advance,

Lisa
