HELP Need Help With AS In Mx2004 Quiz Template
Thanks in advance, I am new to the whole AS thing and am in some need of some help! Hopefully I came to the right place!

I have set up a quiz using the template in mx2004. I need to add some functionality to it, but know where to look, or how to do it.
You can view the quiz here (I know it looks cheesy, but I am focusing on functionality first and foremost here!....):

THE QUIZ

The functionality I am looking to incorporate is if they score above 70%, they are congratulated, and can enter in an email address to recieve a free bottle of the product we are selling. If they score below 70%, I want them to be able to click a button to take the quiz over. I know it's possible, but I have been racking my brain trying to figure it out, and have limited AS skills, so I don't know really what i am looking for!

Just one small other problem...I want the user to automatically be sent to the next page without clicking the right hand navigation button, after submitting....this one is killin' me too!

Please help me if you can! Thanks THanks THANKS!

Swithching Function From Test File To Template? Loop Isn't Working In Template
Hello everyone,

I've finally come back to my original document that I need this function to work on. There's a problem with it continuously looping to undefined when I move it from images1-1 to bubba1-2.
Bubba1-2 is my default template that I need to make this work on.

I've placed a zip file if I'm not making sense, for someone to help me on this little loop problem.
I think the problem is on line 116 of bubba1-2, when I tell it to loop again.

images1-2 is what I'm trying to achieve in bubba1-2.fla

Looping to undefined????????????
I know it has something to do with me calling my xml function all over again. But, I cannot figure out where my problem lies.

If anyone could help me on this good day I would appreciate it!

Flash MX Template Bug (I Think)
Just noticed a very small 'bug' in the default html templates that means that Flash MX movies don't load properly in some Nescape browsers. When you choose to center the movie in the browser window, Flash inserts a table around the movie - but it forgets to put in the end table () tag - something that rubbish old Netscape seems incapable of coping with.

I'm not entirely sure how these 'default' templates were created, so it could be that the Flash MX updater miscopied an old template that I created - but it might be worth checking if you care about those 2 Netscape users.

Best,

Alex

Help With Flash Template Please.......
Hi, i've downloaded a template from a site that i'd like to work with in flash. I'd like to change text, images, etc. It's from a template site and they say it's ok to download it and play with it in flash. I can't even figure out how to get started with it.

I know very little about flash, but i'd like to figure these things out and start learning. I'd eventually like to make my sons baseball team a website using flash. There are baseball templates i could just buy, but even if i would do that, i'd still need to change text,images,etc.

I got the template here template link

I downloaded the top middle template. The dark one.

If anyone could give me advice on how to get started changing images, etc. I'd appreciate it.

If it's going to be difficult, then i won't even consider buying a template.

Thanks.

Is This From A Flash Template?
hey guys,

My friend made an animation for his assignment and claimed to be his. not sure what he did coz i didnt see it, but from what i heard, an animation of a ciggy box opening or sumfin, not sure. i only have his screenshot.

the thing is, everybody's saying that its from a very popular flash template. and i wanted to know so bad coz this guy is getting credits frm lecturers like hell.and it pisses me off how these kinda ppl get thru it. grah.

so if anyone can reconfirm this, i'd be more more more than happy, relief on my side actually, for not stooping that low, down to that level.

thanks guys

[F8] Flash Template + Swf + Psd = ?
hello all. i'm new to flash and new to flashkit, but am willing (and hopefully able) to learn.

i recently bought a flash template from perfectory.com. i wanted to learn more about flash by seeing a fully constructed template and then editing it/tearing it apart...and i'm also doing a website with it for a family member as a learning experience.

anyways

included in my source files were the fla and swf files, along with the psd's. i first began to edit the psd's (the only thing i _knew_ how to do for sure). i then started playing with the fla, edited it, tested it and published it to swf format.

my question is this: what now? how do i plug it into my psd files? what do i do next?

i should also mention that the flash is only a flash header...it can be seen here: http://www.perfectory.com/search.htm (enter ID#12670)

i feel like a total idiot right about now asking what is probably a overly simple question, but i just don't know what to do or what to even google about further developing this website!

i would be more than happy to send the source files, etc. if anyone needs to look at them. i'm just so stuck right now, and majorly frustrated with my (lack of) skills

if anyone could take their time out to help, i'd appreciate it greatly. thanks!

[CS3] Help With Flash Template
Hi guys. got a question. I am editing a flash template, and everything seems to be going quite well. I can work out most things but one thing has stumped me.

If you view the flash here http://122.201.82.83/~playfitn/
the rest of my ramblings will make more sense.

I need to add a few more "title boxes" to the site but cannot seem to work out how to do it. I have tried to copy and paste the existing ones with some success, but they move to the existing menu box locations (if that makes sense).
I guess I need to change where the box moves to but have no idea where to start or how to go about it.

If someone can point me in the right direction that would be sweet. I'm happy to upload the .fla file if need be.

Thanks guys/girls!

Flash Template
All,
I purchased a flash template and it is here: http://www.jerpat.org/main.swf, and I am using Macromedia Flash MX version 6.0.

I am very new to flash and on this template I am trying to add 4 more buttons to the main.swf file above, but everytime I try and copy a button and replace the text on the button, it also changes the button I am copying from. I just want to copy 4 buttons with different names and it doesn't seem to be as easy as just copying. How can I do this easily.

I also need to make 4 new wepages in this flash template that correspond to the new buttons.

Can I do all of this easily?

Someone please help me, and I thank all of you in advance.

The file can be downloaded here: http://www.conroeluxuryhomes.com/header02.fla

Flash Template
Hello

I want to use a Flash provided template or build my own template and create pages from this. If I then make a change to the original template - will the pages I have created update automatically, as they do in Dreamweaver? If not - how do I get the pages to update with the template change?

Thanks

Flash Template
Hello everyone,

I am new to flash and I need some help. I have downloaded a template for my new website and am having trouble customizing it. I have a menu, and when one of the buttons is clicked a small window appears that loads text form an external html file. The problem I have is that I can not change the name of the window. I have used debug for the movie and have found the variables I need to change, but can not find the location of those variables, just the script for the buttons.

Does anyone know where I can change the global variables? It is proving to be a hard task, and I do not wish to have to find a new template b/c I really like this one.
If viewing the template could help you, go to www.djvladnistor.ro/TEST/index.html

Flash Template
I see by reading other topics that I'm not the only person in this boat. I was looking for an easy fix to building a site after having a really bad experience using a website building program that was full of problems. So, having to start over from scratch but not wanting to waste too much time, I found a template site that promised you don't need experience to use their web templates, that it's as easy as cutting and pasting in your own info. RIGHT!!! Corresponding with the unknown faces of the template store's customer support, I was then told I needed Adobe Photoshop and Flash. I bought both. Now I had a $60 template and $1,000 in programs and no idea what to do with any of it. So much for no experience needed. Now I asked them, where do I start cutting and pasting, and was told it was assumed anyone buying the template had flash experience (however it was not mentioned before). It was a very costly experience and I am nowhere and gasping for air. Can anyone give me ANY clue where to start with a pre-made flash template? You live and learn the hard way sometimes!!!!!

Flash Template
Good Morning All:

I have two questions. I have a template that has a record player that plays mp3's that are embedded into the timeline. It's making my movie extremely large. I want to know how I can program that player to have it read the tracks through an XML file. I will gladly post the .fla file to anyone willing to help me.

I also want the same page transitions of the template but I want to break it up into separate .swfs. I just need to know the right route to take with this particular template. I've done some basic sites but this one seems slightly out of my realm. Thanks for any help that you can give me in advance.

Help With Flash Template
I bought a flash website template. On the homepage there is a bunch of links that I changed to reflect my content and want to make a page to go with each link. I am new at this and I don't know the best way to create these pages to add to a template. The template has 5 pages that are linked together through an animated menu. Each page has a different background. I want the linked pages to look like the background that the page with the links looks like. The links are a bunch of text lines. Each link has some kind of movie clip over it. As you can see I need help because I can't figure out how to add the pages.

Thanks,

Never Used Flash Before: Help Me With MX2004
I've never had any experience at all with Flash. I just got MX 2004 and I'm trying to learn, but all the help resources seem to assume you already have a basic understanding of flash.

can somebody explain or point me to a site for:

- a basic description of flash terms and the purpose of using different features (symbols, components, motion guides, motion tweens, etc)

- a step by step for learning flash from the ground up

I'm finding a bit of info regarding older versions such as 4, 5, and MX, but barely anything about MX2004. Isn't 2004 quite different from previous versions so that a lot of the old info doesn't apply anymore?

Flash MX2004?
Alright guys, i just got FLash MX2004 and when i go to do my actionscripting it's in an expert mode like in flash mx. is there anyway to convert it back to normal mode? i'm more a designer and don't really deal to much with the actionscripting. Thanks for your help.

Flash Mx2004 Help Please
I have finally upgraded from MX to MX 2004 Professional.

I am stumped by the Actionscript panel.

In MX there was an icon (View Options)where you could swap between Normal andExpert views.

I find this same Icon in 2004 for the menu is:
View Esc shortcut keys
View Line Numbers
Word Wrap

By default it seems to be set on Expert view.

Can someone please tell me how to view the actionscript in
Normal view.

All help much appreciated.

Flash MX2004 > QT
I can't export from Flash MX2004 to Quick Time 7.1.3 because "En error occurred because a required Quick time component Could not be found"

If i by QT Pro will that solve the problem?

I have searched the forum and the net but I can't find an answer.

A Flash Mx2004 Bug?
you'd better download the fla (it's only about 110k) so you can see what happens, it'a bit hard to explain (plus, i don't have a very strong english...)

you can find the fla here: http://xoomer.virgilio.it/space2000/WHY.zip

(open the fla)

there are two buttons, with two drop down menus; if you click "Formazione" (in the drop down of "CHIMICA") you will notice nothing strange; it will continue to work properly (you will be taken to frame "formaz" and the drop down will disappear as soon as you leave its area).

the code for the button CHIMICA is here:

ActionScript Code:
onClipEvent (load) { _global.l=false;}onClipEvent (enterFrame) { if (this.hitTest(_root._xmouse,_root._ymouse,true)&& !l) { l=true; _root.DrDown2.gotoAndPlay(2); this.gotoAndPlay(2);} else if (!this.hitTest(_root._xmouse,_root._ymouse,true)&& l && !_root.DrDown2.hitTest(_root._xmouse,_root._ymouse,true)) { l=false; _root.DrDown2.gotoAndPlay(9); this.gotoAndPlay(11); }}on (press) { _root.gotoAndStop("chimica");}

if you put one more line (even a comment) between l=true; and _root.DrDown...; and you play the preview, you will notice that if you click on "Formazione" you will be taken to the frame "formaz", but the drop down won't disappear if you don't pass over "CHIMICA" with your mouse (you will probably notice also that the animation of "CHIMICA" is not played).

please take a look at it... i'm goin' cRaZy

thanks for your help

Flash MX2004 Pro Bug
Hi folks,

Has anyone seen a bug with flash mx2004 pro as follows:

When opening a fla file the scene appears momentarily and then the entire flash program shuts down (closes). It only does this on 1 or 2 fla files (out of 40 fla files). I'm using version 7.2. I've used flash on the same PC for 3 years and never had a problem, all of a sudden it started happening. Any help appreciated

Flash MX2004 Bug?
ok... if anyone can explain this i would be forever greatful i'm having a frame rate issue with MX2004.

it appears that a .swf runs slower on an Internet Explorer web browser than it does on a standalone flash player... :S

i made a test movie with nothing moving on screen and no AS running except for a fps meter (colin moocks), and the difference in frame rate readings are pretty scary (+/-5 fps)!

this only happens though when published using flash 7, but doesn't appear to when using flash 6.

any feedback would be greatly received.

Here's the moneyshot people

Actionscript 2.0
With object-oriented programming support and a more robust, European Computer Manufacturers Association (ECMA) standards-compliant programming model, ActionScript 2.0 is more familiar to experienced Java programmers. Compile ActionScript 2.0 code to ActionScript 1.0 for playback on earlier versions of the Macromedia Flash Player.

more familiar to advanced Java programmers? I'm scared

Plus, it looks like a slightly redesigned www.macromedia.com.

Flash Quiz Template
Hi all from Edinburgh, Scotland

Would you know where i could pick up a quiz fla or template to use ?

I have something that sort of works but is very long winded and I'm sure there something much more streamlined.

It would need three levels of difficulty 4 / 7 / 10 questions respectively and would give feedback on each question.

The score would be displayed at the end of the level allowing a user to have another go or proceed to the next level.

Please help, many thanks, Cris.

Menu Template In Flash MX
Howdy everyone! I just want to say that I love checking in on the forums
everyday to try to learn something new. I've been coming to this forum for a
couple of years now. Well of course if I'm posting, that means I have a
problem. I've been messing around in Flash MX and currently am working with
the dropdown menu template. I've gotten it to look the way that I want and
have it working just fine. Just fine if the HTML file that I embed it in is
in the same directory as the .swf and xml file. I understand why the xml
file and the swf file need to be in the same directory, but why should the
HTML file be in the same directory as the swf and xml file? That doesn't
make any sense to me as long as I'm pointing to the swf file in the correct
directory right?

I would appreciate anyone's help on this!

Thanks in advance!

Modifying A Flash Template
I've downloaded a Flash template and cannot find a way to modify it for my use. At issue is modifying the long movie clip which has most of the contents. I can't edit it with Fireworks 4, can't even see all of it, and placing text on it does not work. How to do?
