Looking For Specific Tutorials...
Here's what I'm looking for:

http://www.groceryshopping.net/brands/index.html

Does that have a "trade name" so I can be more successful googling for tutorials? Play the branding tab... In particular I'm looking to do the left-nav thing which loads different stuff center court.

Any suggestions outside of just start playing with it and try to become good?

Thanks in advance!

TUTORIALS TUTORIALS TUTORIALS Please Read
Hey everyone, especially newcomers-

I know from experience how when you need to know something you want it now, and I am as impatient as the next guy. (trust me) But more often than not it will actually be quicker for you to read thru the tutes and you will learn at a far faster rate. Check the tutes out and see whats there. Many answers will be right there and you will find them faster this way, more often than not anyways.

Everyone is eager to help as much as they can--but they also are looking for help as well with newcomers that need help. Learn what you can from the tutes, as it might be hours or longer before you get a reply anyways. Then whatever you don't get, ask about. And, as a courtesy, it is easier for me to say this than Dave, Pom or Kirupa cause Im not a mod---be eager to share and help others with what you have learned, so it is not always the Mods and the others that help, that do all the werk, cause it is werk to punch in a reply, and often times we do this and the person has fled the boards never to so much as respond to a reply that might have taken someone an hour to type out. Thats disheartening, as you can well imagine. Also, as has been said; MAKE SURE YOUR TITLE SAYS SOMETHING MORE THAN; 'PLEASE HELP ME NOW' BE DESCRIPTIVE AND THIS WILL DRAW A QUICKER RESPONSE. THIS IS WHAT YOUR AFTER ANYWAYS RIGHT?

Specific Html Page Triggers Specific Frame Of The Flash Movie
I have been playing with flash and html and wonder if any of you have a bright idea on how to do this.


I have a flash movie, which I call from html but depending on which part of the html page I call it from I want to start it at a particular frame and not always from the beginning.

I have created a variable within the movie in action script and given it a different value for each of the frames I want to start the movie at, and want now to designate the value I give to that within html so that the movie “jumps” to the correct frame. Is this possible or am I totally crazy??

How To Load Specific Frame Of Specific Movie On Another Layer
Here's my setup:

Layer 0 = main movie

Layer 1 = navigation movie

Layer 2 = products.swf


Using a button located on Layer 1 (that contains navigation.swf), I need to load on Layer 2 the products.swf, and it needs to land on frame 54 of that movie.

I'm fairly illiterate r.e. ActionScript, so go gentle on me, please, LOL

Thanks!!!!!

Loading Specific Frames Within Specific Movies
Ok guys.. cutting to the chase, Basically im loading a movie externally using this code...


Code:

on (release) {
if (S_Init == Number(S_Init)) {
loadMovieNum("s_menu.swf", _root.S_Init);
} else {
_root.S_Init.loadMovie("s_menu.swf");
}
// End Behavior
}
which then loads the movie into the specified movieclip (S_Init).

I would like to load a particular frame of that movie's main timeline (s_menu.swf). How would I modify this code to do such.

Thanks

Loading A Specific Scene In A Specific Movie
Is there something that can emulate what I'm try to say here?

I want something like

on release (
load Movie (which movie, where, which scene of the movie, etc)
}

Specific Image Appear On Specific Date
I am building a calendar for a client. Off to the side of the calendar is a box where I want a different, specific, image to appear each day.

I think I know how to start, but not how to finish. I assume I start by building an MC with all the images placed on the specific x y coordinates, giving each a unique instance name.

Along the time line, I can have each image display only on one specific frame, with a stop action and a label unique to it.

From there is where I get lost. I don't know what AS to put on the MC so that it reads the users computer, knowing what the date is and sending it to the appropriate labeled frame.

Am I on the right track? If so, what code do I use. If I'm not on the right track, please offer suggestions on what direction to head.

I need it to work when saved as FLASH 5.

Thanks!

Go To A Specific Scene After A Specific Time
What is missing in below actionscript:

strTime=0;
_root.onMouseMove = function(){
strTime = getTimer();
}
_root.onEnterFrame = function() {
if (getTimer()-strTime>100000) {
trace("100 sec. inactivity registraitet")
getURL ("http://www2.devi.com/webhome-demo/valgsprog.asp", "_self");
strTime = getTimer();
}
}

A malfunction on My movie (23 scenes) occurs using this script. Every time I go to a new scene the time of mouse-inactivity most start all over from zero before going til to the getURL. But it seems that the time of inactivity of mousemove in some way "accumulate" from all the scenes dispite you haven't been on the scenes.
What may I add to the script make i work proberly???

Load Specific .swf During Specific Time
Hi all. I have been working on this piece of code that loads a movie depending on the time of day. I.E. morning, afternoon, night. And this is what i have so far, but it doesn't work. Any ideas?:

Code:
now = new Date().getHours();
if (now>=8 && now<13) {
loadMovieNum("http://www.my_url.swf1", 0);
} else if (now>=13 && now<17) {
loadMovieNum("http://www.my_url.swf2", 0);
} else if (now>=17 && now<20) {
loadMovieNum("http://www.my_url.swf3", 0);
} else if (now>=20 && now != 0) {
loadMovieNum("http://www.my_url.swf4", 0);
} else if (now == 0 || now<8) {
loadMovieNum("http://www.my_url.swf5", 0);
}
}


Thanks,

If Timeline Came From (specific Frame Of Any Scene), Go To (specific Frame)
Hi, I have thirteen scenes, each one has 2 frames, one with audio (loadSound) one without. What's the best way to tell flash when a user clicks on a nav button (which calls a scene) to go to the 1st or 2nd frame of the scene depending on if the previous scene was playing the 1st or 2nd frame?

Thanks in advance.

I was wondering if anyone would know a tutorial to make a page curl, as you would turn a page in a book?

Tutorials
will someone help me I'm new to flash and the tutorials that come with flash 5 are crap please sugguest any great sites and place where i can download for FREE any templates movies/cartoons etc

Tutorials Available Here
Hello all,

With the idea of developing excellence in web communications and dessimating knowledge, Pigtail Pundits (thats the Company I work for) has put up a few basic Flash5 tutorials - aimed at the Graphic Designer.

The tutorials have been written by our Graphic Design team; so the language spoken is not too difficult to understand - except where Macromedia themselves didn't want you to.

The link is here:
http://www.pigtailpundits.com/ourcom...dpick_tuts.htm

You can view each SWF and then download the zip file which contains:
- a PDF file that explains what is happening in the ActionScript
- an swf file
- and a corresponding fla file

We hope they will be of use to many newbies.

I Need Tutorials For The Tutorials
When I got Flash MX, I knew it was going to be a challenge, but I didn't think it would be as difficult to learn as I'm finding it to be.

Most, if not all of the tutorials I've found on-line, do not seem to be directed toward the complete newbie such as I. For instance, when a tutorial tells me to create a movie clip, it neglects to tell me how. Therefore, I need tutorials for the tutorials!

I've also downloaded many samples, hoping to take them apart and see how they are done, only to find upon opening them, there's nothing there!? The stage is blank yet the movie will play when tested!?!?

I have spent countless hours on-line searching and stumbling through tutorials, mostly guessing as to what/how things are to be done - and of course the end result is failure.

Guess I just don't know the best way to get a grasp of Flash MX and am ready to give up.

There, I'm done now.

I Need Tutorials
i need tutorial that explains how to create something similar to 'html frames' only in flash.
you know, left side of scene buttons and on the right goes the page, and only the right side loads when i click certain section on the left. help, anyone? please?

Help On Tutorials Please.
Are there any websites out there that offer more than just text based tutorials? I myself am a visual learner and often need visual aid to help the learning process, but most, if not all the tutorials I see, are all text based and have maybe a single visual element at the end of the tutorial, which doesn't help me other than tell me what it is the tutorial will end up looking like. Any help is much appreciated.

Tutorials
Ok hi y'all.

Ok I'll admit that I'm kinda dumb, and the tutorials that came with Flash MX are too difficult for me...is there any VIDEO tutorials? So I can actually watch the person do what it's telling you? Ok, Thanks!

Hi,

Can someone tell me a good place to find a variety of Flash MX tutorials? I have been working with Flash 5, just downloaded the trial version of MX and can't figure out how to replace a graphic in the sample FLA I'm working on with one of my own. I know it should be simple to do...guess I'm still in Flash 5 mode (looking for the old Bitmap Properties box...LOL). I've read through the PDF files and see everything about working with graphics except this!

Any help is greatly appreciated.

Thanks in advance,
Foxy

I Need Tutorials
I've looked all through here and MANY other tutorial sites. I just want a big archive of IN DEPTH tutorials for Flash MX, (Creating games, animations etc.). I've seen so many tutorials that just throw the code at me and send me on my way. I've been using Flash MX for about half a year now and learned most about from experience. The only problem is that I can't just know actionscript. That's something that needs to be learned. If someone can please help me, I would be most grateful. Thank you for your time and help.

What Tutorials Are Out There That Will
add affects to images???

ive seen a couple that look really cool but are there any tut's out there that i could look through?

Tutorials
I find the tutorials too complicated or too simple! The puzzle tutorial is too complicated, and it is not teaching me what I want to learn, I am miles away from trying to make games; I would like to make simple cards to start with; I can draw and insert the drawings which I have made in another program; so I just want to do images which get transformed into something else when you click on them; I have problems with the clicking part; in fact I can't do anything with clicks, is there a tutorial that deals with mouse clicks?

About These QT Tutorials I See...
I know this is probably not the right area to ask this, but in learning about Flash I've seen a number of video tutorials that are on Quicktime...these have narration and show the lessons in full animation. I assume this is some kind of special program that records all this. Anyone care to point me in the right direction? Thanks

New Tutorials
