Flash Banner Ad - Adding The Link To External Url
Hi,

Apologies if this is a bit of a simple question. I have a banner ad that I have created in flash. It consists of a number of scenes. I need to add a link from it to a website. What is the best way to do it?

I have tried adding a 'go to web page' behaviour to each scene which works but it doesn't give a hand cursor when hovering over the file (previewing in the browser) and it seems a bit repetitive.

Any suggestions as to the best way to do this?

thanks
Ben

Site Won't Load In IE6/IE7 Because Of Flash Banner
In IE7 AND IE6, the homepage on my site won't load. I suspect it has something to do with the flash banner. This is quite strange because I have the same site on my testing site here and the homepage loads fine with the flash. Does anyone know why there is a discrepancy? It works just fine in firefox

Site Continually Opening With Flash Banner Add
Hi everyone.

Ive got a banner add in which I have the following action:

Code:
this.onMouseDown = function() {
getURL("http://www.site.com.au/banner.asp?ID=35", "_blank"); };
which we have on our background layer.

and for all our testing works 100% OK in MSIE, Firefox, Netscape etc

But, the site on which it has been placed (external site) is getting reports from users that the banner add is causing the target site
(site.com.au) to automatically "popup", and from what we can decipher, and keeps popping up even when the browser with the external site is minimized.

One person who has had the problems says they have Win98 and MSIE 5.5 (5.50.4522.1800IS).

Have I done something seriuosly wrong in the code above ... as it would appear that each loop of the Banner Add opens a new Window.

Make Poverty History Banner On Flash Site
Hi folks,

I recently tried to insert the 'Make Poverty History' banner that you may have seen on some websites onto my own. The banner displays in the top right hand corner of your website when you add the html code to your site.

I run a flash website, so when I add the code to my html, the banner gets hidden behind all of the flash content. I was therefore wondering if some kind soul out there could shed a bit of light on how to get the banner infront of the flash stuff if at all possible.

I have included my html source below. The website states that the banner code (also displayed below) should be included after the 'body' tag. When I do this, the banner becomes hidden behind all the flash content.

I hope all this is making sense to at least someone out there as I am desperate to display the link for such as worthwhile cause.

My HTML code . . .

Code:

Have Some Flash Banner SWF Files Play Within The Portfolio Page Of My Site
I've been working on my first full blown flash site for a few weeks, tackling problems as I encounter them, and I've learned a lot...but sometimes the simplest things I cannot figure out for the life of me. All I am trying to do is have some flash banner SWF files play within the portfolio page of my site. I don't want them to open in a pop up or anything just play within the page when the link on my site is clicked. I figured it would act like a movie clip and I could just drop it onto the stage, but when I do that it doesn't look right, loops continuously, and is not interactive. How can I make this work?

Adding A Link To A Flash Site
I am a relatively new flash user and I have been encountering a problem trying to add a link to my site. When I test my site within flash the link comes up with no problem, but when I publish it and try to click on the link I get a message saying that macromedia has stopped an unsafe operation. It then says, 'to let this application communicate with the internet click settings'. When I go to settings I have no idea what I need to do to allow my link to work. Any suggestions? Thanks.

Adding A Purchase Option To A Flash Site...
Hello everyone, I want to add an option, to a web site I did, The option is to purchase tickets to an event. Its a one price option and the user can use their credit card or paypal. And the other option is to have the ticket or tickets mailed to them or held at the door on the evening of the event. Is there a book or tutorial that would help me streamline this process. I do consider myself intermediate in Flash and action scripting. Iam not sure the most efficient way to set this up.I appreciate any help.

[F8] Adding Simple Navigation To Flash Site
Hi all, I've been working on a website for a friend for a while now. I have created graphics, animations and visually everything i need. My only problem at the moment is adding some simple navigation to it all. I basically have a layout as follows;
__________________

--------------------



--------------------
__________________

I have four buttons at the top of the page and i would like to implement the equivalent of a frame (highligted between the dotted lines) so that when one of the buttons is clicked the content in between the dotted lines changes.
I have so far poured through several ebooks such as Flash 8 for dummies, Actionscript Bible etc and several other forums to help but have been unable to find anything to simply meet my requirements.

I have tried working with textarea components and dynamic text etc and i'm having an absolute nightmare. I'm sure there's an easier way to go about this.

If any of you guys could assist i'd be extremely grateful.

Adding Easter Eggs To Flash Site?
I have a client that wants a site that's content is all hidden in easter egg style concepts. One of the ideas I'd like to do is have the user type in a code and have it activate a movie clip or a function, can anyone help with this?

My ActionScript knowledge is still a bit beginner so try to keep it in laymans terms.

Adding A Slideshow To An Existing Flash Site

Adding That Photorealistic Texture On A Flash Site
Hi,

I am a novice Flash designer who is desperately trying to get out of designing "simple". Many people, like corporations do like the simple and clean style but my friend has a poetry performance group and I want my Flash homepage (at least the homepage) to reflect what the group is all about. My current inspiration? Going to movie sites.

Wouldn't you agree that whether or not the movie sucks or not, the Flash site accurately creates a vision from the movie? Look at The Longest Yard or Sky Captain. But my question is what are the techniques used to create a photo-realistic look for a Flash site while keeping the file size low and the quality high? What are the techniques for developing the concept of a photorealistic site?

Finally, has anyone created a Flash site for poets?

Adding Goto Actionscript To Banner

Adding Pages To A Pre-made Flash Site Template
hi. I have decided to change my site. so I got a new template. it is all done in flash. all on one .fla file. it came with like five premade "pages" that change around on the site, so I customized all that stuff already. Now I want to create some extra pages and have the corresponding buttons added to the navigator.

I am having the most problems with adding the buttons. I thought it would be easiest to just copy the action script ffrom one of the pre-made buttons and then changing a few variables to fit the new page(s) that I have made. I can't figure it out though. I tried a few differrent things but it is not working for me.

here is the code that was already written for the "contact" button

on (rollOver) {
gotoAndStop(2);
play();
}
on (releaseOutside, rollOut) {
gotoAndStop(11);
play();
}
on (release) {
if (_root.animation == "true") {
_root.animation = false;
_root.link = "contacts";
_root.main.object.gotoAndPlay("s2");
}
}

so if I create a new page, which variables do I need need to ensure are changed? Im confused so I hope I am asking the right questions.
if you want to see how the site works then go to

Help, Please, With Adding 4 Short Video Clips To Banner Background
Greetings all, and please excuse the long posting,

I have a Flash project and I could really use some advice. I need to produce a banner for a retail client (729 x 180) that will sit atop their page. Basically, they want is to show four products that fade in and out, one after another. No problem. But they also would like four pieces of stock video playing in the background that relates to each of the products. For instance, one of the products is a coffee/cappuccino maker, beneath which they would like this four-second video of coffee beans being scooped out of a wooden barrel blurred under the product. The four products are the coffee maker, golf club, watch and a GPS, so each product will have some sort of video beneath it that some how relates to that product. So far, the videos are already in flv format, but I could purchase QuickTime versions if I need to.

As I said, there are four products. But also, along the left side of the banner in a single column will be four buttons, which a user needs to be able to click in order to jump directly to one of the four products in the banner animation. However, if no buttons are clicked, the animation needs to loop through each product and its corresponding video background, cross-dissolving from one to the next. Of course, each product needs to be linked to its corresponding page in the site, but again, that's not a problem.

I've looked at embedding the video, but that of course jacks the file size up to over half-a-meg ... just for the banner! Probably the best way to do this through actionscripting is to place the videos externally in an array and have them called in, but this is something I'm not sure how to do, plus I'm not sure how I would sync he videos with the products floating over the background.

I'm kind of lost here, and was hoping someone could at least point me in the right direction. OOP and AS3 totally confuse me; I do have some AS2 experience, but as I said my experience is limited. For instance, I've used arrays before, but only with the help of tutorials and/or someone else's code where I (barely) figured out enough to get the code to something that I needed it to do. Any help/advice/suggestions would greatly be appreciated.

Thank you for your time!

One Flash Banner Plays Differently When Viewer First Visit The Site And When Viewer N
I have a flash banner at the top, when the viewers first come to my site, my flash banner plays the way I want, when viewers start to navigate my site and got redirected to other pages within my site, the flash banner on the top will paly the same way as the page loaded at the first time, this is kind of annoying, I would like the flash to play once especially the flying buttons, when the visitor trying to buy something on my site, the flash should stay still, don't play the action again and again on every page, How do I do that?
you can see my example at http://leafshoppingcart.viperhosting.net/xcart/
Thanks in advance

Banner And Site Statistics
Something weird happened.
Im testing a website statistics by having a banner made in flash on website A that links to site B. Supposedly, the statistics of site B should indicate that x number of hits came from site A.

But it doesnt. It includes any hits coming from that flash banner as 'direct url or bookmarked'. Anyone have any idea of why?
The link was made as usual, a button with geturl _blank

any ideas?

Music Player On Top Banner Of Html Site

Is there anyway I can make the music keep playing from page to page? I'd appreciate any help!

Thanks a lot,

Banner Should Load After Html Site That Embeds It
Hi,
I created a flash banner. What I promised the client, though, was that it wouldn't interfere with the site's loading. I imagined the surrounding text would load much faster anyway. But looking at the site now it seems to load the banner first. It wasn't my job to embed the file into the final dreamweaver doc, but I wanted to at least recommend them a way of doing it, so that it has the effect the client wanted.

Is there a way to hold off the loading of the swf until it finished loading?

(The banner runs a preloader upfront so that it doesn't start prematurely but that of course doesn't include the loading of the html.)

Newbie Question - Would Like To Add Banner Rotator To My Site

I would like to add a banner rotator to my site and incorporate several banners to take turns showing. Is there somekind of script that I could just add to my site to make this work? I am not all that familiar with html or flash. I make all changes to my site through Frontpage.

Any suggestions and instructions would be great!

Thanks so much.

Banner With Link To Site Doesn't Work
Hi to all.
Am just learning flash. Have created two ad banners with invisible button that points to a web site. Both are basically the same except for dimensions and one of them has additional layers showing a lightning effect.

Followed the Flash Tutorials in Flash Help to create button with specific action -

inv_btn.onRelease = function(){
getURL("http://...com", "_blank");
};

Problem is one of them works when clicked upon and the other doesn't.
.fla file is attached if anyone wants to check.
Would appreciate any assistance in finding problem!
