Distribute To Frames?
I have a situation where i have approx. hundred .png sequence pictures in my library and i need to put them on my timeline in seperate keyframes. Is there any automative way of doing this so that i don't have to do it manually one by one picture? Something like "Distribute to layers", but instead "Distribute to frames"?thanks

Distribute To Frames?
hi all,
Flash MX has a function of distributing a group of objects into layers. However, I am wondering if there is a way to distribute my group of objects (for examples, group of letters generated from a line of text by using break apart) into frames?
any ideas?

Import - Distribute To Frames
I am working on a flat vectorized video animation, similar to the technique seen here:
http://www.the-control-group.com/archive/home.htm
wondering if someone might suggest an efficient means of importing the vectorized frames from the .mov into flash frames. (I have about 400 .ai files, each to become a frame in the animation.)
any help is greatly appreciated

Distribute To Keyframes?
With 100 images in the library is it possible to distribute them to sequential keyframes (similar to the option for distributing to layers)?
I want one layer of 100 frames, each containing an image from the library. At the moment I'm doing it one by one, drag & drop then repositioning.
Thanks.

Can I Distribute SAFlashPlayer.exe On A CD
I have created some banners which load images depending on contents of an XML file
Before the customer uploads new images, they test the swf on there local machine, to see if the image sequence is fine.
Does anyone know if you are allowed to distribute the Standalone player or if there is an installler for the standalone player on windows, you can download a developer version for mac?
Creating standalone projector files is not really an option
thanks
Distribute To Center
I'm looking to have two movie clips distributed evenly to the center of the stage. Does anyone know how to do that with AS?
Their respective widths will by dynamically changing with respect to time.
Distribute Over Levels
I would like to take a name and have each letter of the name tween to a new letter, thus spelling out a new word.
So DOG would tween to GOD, for example.
I thought of placing DOG in Frame 1 of its own level called DogLevel, then breaking it up and distributing over three layers called "D", "O," and "G." This works fine.
I then strectch out the frames to Frame 10.
Now, I place GOD in Frame 11 of DogLevel. But when I break it apart and distribute over levels, it doesn't place the letters in Frame 11 of layers "D", "O," and "G." Instead it creates new layers for each letter.
How do I solve this problem? Or, what is the easiest way of accomplishing this task?
Thanks.
How To Make And Distribute A Screensaver
Hi,
I am a newbie to flash. I work in a public library, and now we want to make our own screensaver and distribute to all the public stations. Would we be able to use Flash MX to make a screensaver, or we need another set of software? Any suggestions or recommendated resources are highly appreciated!
Best Way To Edit And Distribute Video
We have .dv files of a 2-day class that we would like to edit and make available to other members of our department. The files are huge (each class was 8 hrs long) and we would like to edit and break them apart according to topic. Then export them to whatever file format would be best.
So, what would be the best way to edit and distribute them?
I'll be working in Flash 8 and we are all on Macs, if that makes a difference.

Flash Projectors-distribute On CD
Hello. I am hoping someone can answer a question for me regarding Flash Projectors.
We are trying to build something for CD use and are running into a problem when trying to view them on Mac OS X machines. It seems that unless the user as admin rights on the machine the file won't open. Instead the error "You do not have permission to open the application "app name" " appears instead. If I log in as an admin user the file open fine.
Flash player is not installed on the test machine (as I was told it isn't necessary because this is a projector file). The non-admin user does have appliction restrictions set in the Accounts area but there isn't anything not allowed that seems obvious to me.
Can anyone give me a clue as to what is going on here?
Any help would be greatly appreciated.

How To Distribute An Information To Other Scenes?
I have got a movie which consists of 12 scenes and in the first scene i let users to choose a mouse cursor.There are 8 Movie Clips on the scene each represents a different mouse icon.And when user chooses one of them I use this code to change the default mouse cursor
Mouse.hide()
startDrag("hand",true);
My question is How can i pass this info to other scenes?
Align & Distribute Actionscript
Is there a function/library that emulated the align and distrubute functions of the flash environment?
This would be a really useful script for arranging objects dynamically in a flash file.
If there is an existing function could you leave it here. If not I will make one and input is welcome!

Actionscript Dynamic Distribute/alignment
Hello! I am using the XMLmenu from the samples folder, and have had it successfully working. However, php and mysql will always be changing this menu. So, I want the actionscript to automatically distribute the main menu links (evenly) across the stage.
Here is my logic:
First, the code should find the width of each main menu mc. This is the main problem, because m_menu_array[s] is giving me the same width for each one of my test menu mc's. (see line 8).
Second, the code totals all the widths of the menu mc's, and subtracts this number from the total width of the stage. This gives the leftover space on the stage.
Third, the leftover space is divided by the number of menu mc's, and this is used to find the x axis placement of each menu mc.
Again, the part of the script that is not working for me is finding the width of each menu mc.
Any help will be appreciated. My script is below.
Code:
var takenSpace:Number = 0;
var extraSpace:Number = 0;
var equalSpace:Number = 0;
// This must Caculate the total width of all the menu items. ****This is not working
for (var s:Number=0; s<nav_array.length; s++) {
trace("Widths");
trace(m_menu_array[s]._width);
takenSpace += m_menu_array[s]._width;
}
trace("takenSpace");
trace(takenSpace); // takenSpace
extraSpace = Stage.width - takenSpace;
trace("extraSpace");
trace(extraSpace);
equalSpace = extraSpace / (btnCount+1);
trace("equalSpace");
trace(equalSpace);
var prev_m_menu:Number = 0;
for(var j:String in nav_array){
prev_m_menu = j - 1;
m_menu_array[j]._x = equalSpace + m_menu_array[prev_m_menu]._width;
trace("yeah!");
trace(m_menu_array[j]._x);
}
[CS3] [AS2] How Do You Distribute The Values When Dragging As Well As A Reset Button
1. How do I back fill in this information visually when dragging the graphs?
Example of my needs...
I am setting up a series of tasks and might not have enough 1st graders so I might ask some 2nd graders to fill in some spots, of course 1st graders can not fill in for 2nd graders so that should not happen. Each color corresponds to a specific task which are linked across the grade levels. So DES1 2nd grade can only cover a DES1 first grade position.
The same thing goes for 3rd graders to cover 2nd grader positions.
So if I take the DES2 position in the 2nd grader column and drag it down it should back fill into the 1st grader position of DES2
Column one knows the info of a 1st grader
Column two knows that of a 2nd grader and a 1st grader
Column three knows 3rd grade and prior.

Puzzled On Frames Loaded And Total Frames Calculation Issue
The Goal:
I am trying to find out if the last frame of a loaded swf has been completed so I can then unload that swf and replace it with another swf.
The Process:
I have on the main time line a MC called movie1. (The main time line is only one frame long)
In the first frame on the main time line I have the following code:
---- start code ----
loadMovie("test/test_movie.swf", "movie1");
if (_root.movie1.framesloaded=_root.movie1.totalframe s) {
getURL("javascript:alert("Frames Fully Loaded")");
} else {
gotoAndPlay("Scene 1", 1);
getURL("javascript:alert("Frames Not Loaded")");
}
---- end code ----
This code will load and play the movie into the MC and gives me an alert that the "Frames Not Loaded". Thats great because it means I am loading the movie correctly and testing the total frames correctly. But I need to know when the last frame of the loaded swf has played so I can then load another. Even if I take out the else statment in my testing code I still can't get it to tell me when all the frames are loaded.
Any help would be great.
Thanks
Looping Frames X-y For 'z' Amount Of Times Then Proceeding To Frames After Loop
Hi,
I'm relatively new to Flash and have not done much work with the AS. I was hoping someone here could enlighten me on an area which has been stumping me.
I need to know how to loop (for example) frames 1 to 5, 4 times then continue to frame 6 until the last frame, then go back to frame 1, thus re-entering the loop, etc. I do believe it would involve something like this... but then again I'm a newbie to this so... what do I know (which is why I wanna learn)
Frame 1:
i=0
Frame 5:
i=i+1
if (i>4) {
gotoAndPlay(6);
} else if (i<4) {
gotoAndPlay(1);
}
Thanks so much
Looping First 38 Frames 7 Times, Then Playing The Whole 76 Frames And Stopping
Hi Guys, I have a movieclip that the first half has one set of movements, but the second half changes. I want to be able to loop this movieclip (instance on the root), so that it plays the first 38 frames 7 times...i.e., loops 7 times, and the 8th time, it plays the whole clip, then stips...the movie is 76 frames long.
I know it's going to be...make i=1 first time...add 1 to i each time...and if i=7, then play past frame 38...and put a stop(); at the end of the movie, but i don't know how that code would look, if I could please ask for more...basic (ugh...) help...
In other words, how do I write this (pseudocode) in AS:
i=1
play frames 1-38
i=i+1
if i is less than 8, play frames 1-38
if i is more than 7, play the whole movieclip, all 76 frames

How To Repeat A Group Of Frames Without Adding A Million Frames?
Hello,
I have made a small flash intro using Flash MX 2004 Professional. The intro is about 3 seconds long. Here's what I want to do:
I want to add a few frames to the intro where I add things shooting through randomly, and I need these few frames to repeat themselves while keeping the main intro sort of paused in the background... How would I do this? How would I "pause" the background without adding a million frames? And is there some way that I can loop a group of frames? Please respond as "newbish" as possible so I can understand
Thank you!
Copy Frames Paste Frames... File Size.
Sooo I have a bunch of vector art I imported from swift3d and than I want to reverse the animation later on in the project so I copy the frames and than I paste them then I use the reverse frames option.... When I compile it doubles the size when I compile.... I know that maybe I should expect this. But if the symbols are already in the library why doesnt flash just use those symbols again and not increase in size?'
I hope this makes sense thanks in advance

Replacing Frames With Other Frames
I would like to know if it's possible to replace existing frames with other frames. In my case I have made an animation of a talking guy with text appearing over him, but at some point he stops talking and I forgot to insert the frames where his mouth is closed, so I'm stuck with no text but a mouth that is moving anyway. I would like to replace the sequence of 'moving mouth frames' with a sequence of 'closed mouth' of the same length.
Thanks in advance guys.

.swf's And Frames
Hello.
Here is the question: How does one controll a swf from another swf loaded into another frame in the browser window. wow, I'm even confusing myself with that explanation... If I have a frameset with two frames, and one frame (the Main frame) contains my main movie, while the other frame has a 2nd swf loaded into it at a certain point along the main movie's timeline. Is there a way to control the main movie from this 2nd swf? Sorry if that makes no sence, its been a loooong day. I'm playing around with _parent._root etc, etc, but obviously no success.
Anyhow, thanks for any and all help.
