Picture Reel Problem
*~ Made Using : FlashMX ~*

I have just tried to make a flash picture reel that loads up jpg's externaly and shows them in the picture viewer that you can scroll horizontaly (Newbie stuff or what! But that's me newbie ) Anyway when the pictures load up they don't load in the position of placeholder_mc and only one of them actually shows up? I need to know why they wont show in place? If you need to see the file I have ZIP'd it up and attatched it to this post with the pictures to.

Thanks in advance.

PS: I kinda need help A.S.A.P. so if you can be as quick as possible.
Cheers

Scrolling Picture Reel
Hi I need some help please. I am trying to accomplish a scrolling pic reel exactly like the one on this website http://www.lomamedia.com/V1.html. I want it in a bottom, scrolling continously without any pause or break in between and so far i have came up with this code only

onClipEvent(enterFrame){
this._x += 3
}

If someone knows the correct script please help. I can only use actionscript 1 that is what's compatible with my editor.

Flash Picture Reel
I'm a noob at Flash, but I need to make this scrolling-picture movie from a folder of images. There will be no reaction from the mouse; it will just be a picture gallery that scrolls horizontally.

This is what my boss gave me:

Does someone know of a good tutorial I could look at?

Demo Reel
I'm not sure if this is posted in the wrong forum. If it is, sorry

Ok, this is what I need done. First of all, if you have been to my site you know that my sister and I are a brother-sister tap team. We are looking to make a demo reel using some of our video clips that we have.

Now, I have no idea where to start .

If someone could please contact me on any of the instant messenger programs, or email me at michael@twofortap.com to help me, I would really appreciate it.

Thank you, and I hope to hear from someone soon!

Cotton Reel
here's a little thing i made whilst i was messing around.

my idea was to create a 'cotton reel' that is on a spring so that you can pull string from it, and when you loosen your string, it rolls back up.

take a look

[edit]updated it so it's smoother when you roll over it - my friend complained [/edit]

Old Film Reel Effect
How can I do an old fashion film effect with scratches, the number countdown, and maybe even the sound of it all too? Is there a tutorial out there that will help? I am not sure if it would have to be a separate movie loaded on top of the main movie I want to show though.

Movie Reel Turning
Can anyone tell me the steps to make a movie reel turn while staying in one place?

Embedding A Demo Reel F8
What is the most effective way of showing video on the web?
Do I embed a flash video on my flash site or open a seperate url
as a quicktime or wmv?

Do I need a seperate streaming app or is flash effective enough?
The demo reel needs to be small but still have sharp image, It will be higher quality than normal as it is an efx reel.

Any ideas?

Scrolling Reel Problem
I created a continous slide show usind the scrolling reel tuturial. The show works fine, the problem is when I load slideShow.swf into another movie clip in another movie.

I want the slideShow.swf to play when a certain button is pushed. So far in the home timeline on the first frame of the actions layer I have this:

button.onRelease = function() {
if (_root.section != "slideShow.swf") {
_root.section = "slideShow.swf";
_root.transition.gotoAndPlay("closing");
}
};

the movie clip that the slideShow.swf is loading into has an instance name of "container."

This is the code on the first line of the slide show

slide_number = 17;

reel_speed = 1;
slide_count = 3;
m1 = _root.content.slide_1;
m2 = _root.content.slide_2;
m1._x = 0;
m1._y = 0;
m2._x = 600;
m2._y = 0;
_root.content.onEnterFrame = function() {
_root.content.moveLeft(reel_speed);
};
function moveLeft(nPixels) {
m1._x -= nPixels;
m2._x -= nPixels;
if (m1._x<-600) {
m1 = _root.content["slide_" + slide_count];
slide_count = slide_count += 1;
if (slide_count > slide_number) {
slide_count = 1;
}
m1._x = 550;
m1._y = 0

}
if (m2._x<-600) {
m2 = _root.content["slide_" + slide_count];
slide_count = slide_count += 1;
if (slide_count > slide_number) {
slide_count = 1;
}
m2._x = 550;
m2._y = 0;
}
}

What I have noticed is the first slide loads corectly, but then the rest don't work. Do I have a wrong path for all of the slides except for slide_1?

Flash Demo Reel: What's The Best Way To Put This Together?
Hey all,

I'm putting together a demo reel of a variety of Flash projects we've done.

I would like the resulting file to be controllable with a Flash controller, meaning I'd like users to be able to pause it, rewind, fast forward or scrub through it.

I already have a component for the VCR style controller but how would you suggest putting the various pieces together in a way that it will be controllable?

- Should I bring in each of the various Flash movies as a separate scene in an external movie, then export it as a SWF and load it into a holder MC?

- Should I bring each of the various movies into a separate slide? Would slides even work with a controller?

Is there a comletely different way altogether? What do you guys think?

For instance if you what the perfed edges to acclerate in a forward motion for 20 frames and reverse for 10 frames at a slower rate and then back to a forward motion.

Script To Move A Reel Of Pics?
Hi there

I have a website I'm working on, and I have the stage 700x400 filled with the first image from a reel of pics (the reel has 5 pics, each 700x400).

I want it to work so that when I click on one of the buttons, the reel moves along to the next pic in line (gliding in, not just budging up). I guess that means once you've clicked 4 buttons, it will start moving backwards? Not sure, to be honest.

Any ideas what kind of thing I need for this?

All help gratefully received.

Dynamic News Reel From XML - That Doesnt Scroll
Hi All,

Okay, I've created a flash (using MX) that I hard coded to have buttons (text w/ clear background) that scroll up to a point, stay there for 20 seconds or so and then scroll back down the way it came; then the next button scrolls up and so on ...

What I'd like to do is make this dynamic - meaning have a new button be created & placed into the animation dynamically from the text of a XML document (aka - not imaged based). That being said, though I've patched together a nice gallery using a similar technique, I'm really clueless on how to apply that to this. Creating/loading the XML I think I can handle. What I dont know is how to have the flash have the animated intro I want - then dynamically create all of the buttons (basically putting the new text on the clear background w/ the correct as link listed in the xml), have them go up then back down & move to the next. Then when all of the buttons are done, have the closing animation.

Does anyone know how to do what Im hoping to do? Know of any good tutorials on this (I've found things close but they arnt close enough)? Am I even being clear?

Thank you for any help you can toss me.

Creating A Showreel/demo Reel With Flash Movies
Hi,
I want to make a showreel/demoreel of my flash character animation work as opposed to making a portfolio website. It is purely flash movies with no interactivity and so I want to make a linear showreel (or just very long movie of my work). I have just found that it is near impossible to import flash .swf files as quicktime movies into After Effects as AE 7 doesn't seem to read the quicktime movies, or quicktime doesn't read the swfs, I don't really know.

Does anyone know of a quick way to edit my flash movies into a demo reel format? Are there any freeware packages that I could use. I would want to ouput to either swf or a quicktime file.
Many thanks in advance.

User Uploads Picture > Can Move And Edit Picture With Tools In Flash File
Hello,

I am looking for some help with this. It seems like something that can easily be done.

http://www.sonypictures.com/movies/t...customization/

I am looking for the user to be able to upload their picture, and then the picture loads into the flash file. once in the flash file, they can move their picture up, down, left or right, rotates in a circle, and also click a button that makes their picture smaller or larger.

I am working on a project for my family, so they can put their picture with an actor and I wanted to know if anyone could point me in the right direction for this?

Thanks so much in advance.

Upload Picture From Database, Transform Picture In FLash
Hi, all.
I just want to do a test: I made an swf file that is to be embedded in an html web page. Inside swf I want a picture to be upload from database ( for customized purpose ), say ASP, or XML. And new picture will replace that old one inside swf. Further more, e.g. I upload just a picture that is a piece of tile. When it appears in swf, it should be tiled 5 by 5 and transformed for perspective. Is that possible with AS? if yes, could anyone offer help? And how to write interface code -- ASP or xml communicates with FLASH, to upload picture from database? Thanks.

Is Loading A Picture? Better Than Having The Picture In The Main .swf File?
Is Loading a Picture? better than having the picture in the main .swf file?

Isn't this going to cause a loading picture "pause/lag" everytime the page is re-loaded?

when the picture is loads once and the user re-loads the page... will it cause it to load the picture again from scratch???

thank you.

Picture-in-picture-in-picture- ... -effect
I've seen examples of this elsewhere but just bumped into this one in the kirupa forum in the "cool sites" section:
http://www.sofake.com/

How on earth is this programmed in flash?
I had an idea for our new bendsite and this could be perfect (although our site would have less text and a would be little more image-heavy)
And would it be possible to include multiple links per "zooming-level"?

Thanks in advance!

Picture Within A Picture, Zoomed In
I'm trying to create an effect where a picture is made up of lots of smaller pictures when it is zoomed in. I've uploaded an example which shows a big red cross, but as it zooms in, it looks as if the red cross is made up of lots of small red faces.

Is there a better and more effective way of doing this than what I've done so far? The swf file size is a lot bigger than I want it to be and it slows down quite a bit on some computers. Are there any tutorials out there showing an example of this, or do does anyone have any ideas on how I can improve it?

Thanks for any help

I Don't Want To See This Picture...
(flash 5) okay, i've got this site http://www.goodman-decorating.com/newSite/index.html if you go to the pictures section and choose a different picture you will notice that each time a picture comes in (a seperate swf loaded into a blank movieclip in the main movie) the primary background image shows through for just a moment. each seperate swf has a preloader in it. it seems that each time a button press loads a new swf into the clip, the clip that is currently in place immeditely goes away. does anyone have any suggestions as to how i can keep the current swf in place until the new one is fully loaded. i don't want to see the background image each time i load a new movie. i don't think i can preload all the seperate swfs because there are 20 of them at about 150kb each and i'm sure this will slow the processor speed way down if you want to do anything else in the movie. thank you for any help.
