Flash :: I Bought A Template.

Bought A Template...o Boy
As a birthday present for a friend, I bought a flash template, and am customizing it for his fledgling music company.

I had a relatively easy time of it, except for the sound files -- they load as movies (ex: "sound1.swf") These movies take FOREVER to load, and are really killing the overall effect of the site. I tried streaming the mp3s, but am getting frustrated.

I posted in the newbie forum, where someone suggested I use
mySound = new Sound();
mySound.loadSound("music0.mp3", true);

The problem with that is the sounds are triggered in a movie clip with 7 sample track buttons to click, and no way to turn them off once they start streaming. All I get is tracks playing on top of each other.

The template is designed with stop and play buttons that work great in the original design, (the buttons refer to movies loaded at _level10, but they dont work when I try the streaming.)

The sound movieclip is called "music" The stop and play buttons are on the main movie timeline.

Anyone up for visiting this site, and giving me advice on how to attack this problem? I would really appreciate the help.

http://avestarentertainment.com

I am a NEWBIE in every sense of the word. The template came with NO INSTRUCTIONS but I've been able to figure most everything else out.

Hoping someone can help a person with limited scripting experience figure a better way to access the seven mp3 files other than loading .swf

Template Bought Help Needed
I bought a flash template and was able to replace the images and such but am having a hard time replacing text or finding the actual pages to work on the tex. Point is I wanted to know if someone can tell me which are the files i need to work on to replace all the text, the look and feel and add new pages to a flash template? I figure I need to create a new page of some sort - html? somewhere within the sources folder and when saving the swf file it would save the new project with the new links and such, I am having a hard time finding these files however, are they supposed to be html? or am i supposed to find each linked page within the flash project?

I also can't add extra images to the galleries already there and since the original template brought repeated images in every gallery when i insert a new image it repeats itself, when I remove one it removes both... any help??

the website is up in its most rudimentray form at www.jcmartins.com help is much much appreciated.

Bought A Template More Complicated Than I Thought
Hey all, I'm learning flash slowly but I bought this template I wanted to customize and its more complicated than I thought-

Can someone tell me what's wrong with this code- its a button- I am trying to link it into page7.swf but it keeps erroring on me

on (release) {
if (_root.pressed_link<>7) {
_level1.gotoAndPlay("dissap");
_root.pressed_link = 7;
}
}

I think it has something to do with the levels??

Thanks any help is appreciated!

Bought Flash Template: Heeelp Need Advice As To How To Customise...
Hi All

Big help needed everyone.... OK, so I guess you are gonna call me an idiot, but heck, I suppose I deserve it. Here's the lo-down...

I purchased an excellent Flash template from templateMonster that comes complete with all PSD's, .fla, source code, as well as the html version of the site - and I am very VERY pleased with it. I am wanting to use this excellent template for my new Limited company, and so started looking into how I could customise it and add my own content etc.

Here is where I am stuck. I thought that because the PSD's were supplied, it would be easy for me to create the new 'content' and my images etc, then the flash would pick up these new images and content and my site would be showing my content instead of the Latin text and made-up names/contacts/pages/products etc that are supplied as default with the template. How wrong I was....

It seems that the whole site is contained in 2 files... an index.html and a flash object file. All the images, logo's, text, and content is contained within the darned embedded file and it seems I need Macromedia to edit or amend it. Phah!!! my very bad mistake I appreciate.

So, is there anyone here who can advise if I need to purchase Macromedia and learn how to customise the template myself, or should I look to hire someone to do this for me? I have approached one company - a super guy - who has been very professional and polite, and who has provided a quotation for me, but as I have no idea how much effort will be required to create the new flash object (with embedded content), I am wondering if I can perhaps learn do this myself by creating the new content by amending the PSD files in Photoshop etc. Then I'd need to create the new flash object but have no idea how to get Macromedia to pick up and compile this new content of mine instead of the default stuff within the template.

I have also asked a friend if he might be able to do this as a favour, but am really in need of getting this done ASAP. If no help is forthcoming by Monday I'll contract with the excellent chap who has already quoted for me. It's just that when I purchased the template I had no idea I would have to pay more money out to place my content in it!!!! I know html, and know that content can easily be amended - but had no idea I couldn't do this with flash.

So... can anyone help...? if so, please PM me here or contact me on themusicman@gmail.com with details and a possible price. Thanks all...

Help With Bought Component
Hi I've recently bought a component from page-flip.com
With the source code that came you get a number of example demo files showing you all sorts of additional functionality that you can add into the basic functions.

One of which was a zooming tool.
I've copied the actionscript and the movie clips into my own project and it works to an extent, in that it changes the cursor to a magnifying glass icon and when I click on a page in the movie it launches a popup window and in that window is a copy of the page, however it doesn't actually magnify the page, as it does in the demo file???

Admittedly my actionscript knowledge is a little weak but I can usually get by, so I've trawled through the demo files and checked movie naming and actionscript but cannot see where the problem lies?

The actionscript is listed below, the only area that is confusing me is where 'zooming' variables are setup.
Surely there should be an initial variable setup that allows you to stipulate the magnification amount?

here is the actionscript:

import mx.containers.Window;
// Popup size
popup_width = 527;
popup_height = 400;
// Zooming settings
zooming = false;
zoom_panel_mc.zoom_btn.onPress = startZoomingMode;
myBook.onClick = bookClick;
function startZoomingMode() {
myBook.flipOnClickProp = false;
myBook.autoFlipProp = 0;
showZoomPointer();
zooming = true;
}
function bookClick(pageNumber, page_mc, isCornerClick) {
if (!zooming) {
return;
}
var page_url = page_mc.URL;
if (page_url != undefined) {
open_popup(page_url, pageNumber);
} else {
zooming = false;
myBook.flipOnClickProp = true;
myBook.autoFlipProp = 50;
hideZoomPointer();
}
}
function open_popup(page_url, pageNumber) {
if (zoom_win != undefined) {
return;
}
hideZoomPointer();
zoom_win = mx.managers.PopUpManager.createPopUp(_root, Window, true, {title:"Page Number: " + pageNumber, closeButton:true});
zoom_win.createObject("ScrollPane", "zoom_pane", 0, {contentPath:page_url, _x:3, _y:31});
zoom_win.setSize(popup_width, popup_height);
zoom_win.zoom_pane.setSize(popup_width-6, popup_height-31);
listenerObject = new Object();
listenerObject.click = closeWindow;
zoom_win.addEventListener("click", listenerObject);
zoom_win._x = Stage.width/2-popup_width/2;
zoom_win._y = Stage.height/2-popup_height/2;
}
function closeWindow(eventObject:Object) {
zoom_win.deletePopUp();
zooming = false;
delete zoom_win;
myBook.flipOnClickProp = true;
myBook.autoFlipProp = 50;
}
function showZoomPointer() {
Mouse.hide();
attachMovie("ZoomIcon", "zoom_icon_mc", 0);
zoom_icon_mc.onEnterFrame = function() {
this._x = _xmouse;
this._y = _ymouse;
};
}
function hideZoomPointer() {
Mouse.show();
delete zoom_icon_mc.onEnterFrame;
zoom_icon_mc.removeMovieClip();
}

Can anyone shed any light on where this might be? I can't find any other actionscript in the demo files?

Question. Just Bought Studio MX 2004 ...
... and I'm wondering if I should install it on my 500 mhz 96m ram machine. Are these specs enough to ensure the programs' running decently? Or at all? I know they say you should have at least 600 mhz and 128m ram, but I installed the demos for Flash MX '04 and a few others a while back, and, though I didn't spend too much time with them, they seemed to run fine. (I also use Illustrator 10 on this comp, which has the same system "requirements," I believe, and I don't have any major problems with it.)

I'm planning on buying a new machine sometime within the next year--but very likely not for that entire year. And I know that the software comes with only two install licenses. I don't want to install the software on this old machine, register it, and then realize it doesn't run, and then get "Gee, sorry, nothing we can do" from tech support or something when I call and ask if I can get my one install back.

Should it work okay?

I Bought Flipping Book - And Now, A Problem.
Hi all,

I just bought this:

http://www.flippingbook.com/

I know, I could get a better one for free, but this is easy and I'm no good at flash, etc. Anyway, everything's fine, except I can't seem to get the sound to work. There's a component parameter called "flip sound" (I think) - I put my sound in there (it's all in the same folder, so no path), and - no sound. I'd give more details, but ... I'm tired.

Any help would be greatly appreciated.

Thanks a bunch!

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!

Bought CS3 But Haven't Read My MX Actionscript, MX2004, Books. Should I Read Them?
I just bought CS3 and I am now debating whether I should read my Flash MX Actionscript bible, Flash 2004 Bible. I should have read them, but It's just hard to fit the time in.

Would I benefit from reading these books when CS3 is Actionscript 3? How much functionality is lost when scripting in Actionsript 2 and 1 as compared to Actionscript 3.

Would it be wiser for me to just learn Actionscript 3 properly and get a book on Actionscript 3 than waste my time on reading old scripting and technology?

Also is MC tween compatible on CS3, actionscript 3.

The images are symbols in the library. I have changed my images to bit maps because the symbols are bit maps. I have replaced the old images with mine by naming them the same thing. I save the file and when I go to the html to view the template. The banner is the same. I have deleted the old images but they are still there. Please help. Thanks.

Web Template Help
I think I have bitten off more than I can chew! I have purchased one of those all singing flash web templates. It does not have a lot of buttons on it but I cannot work out how they function. There are 12 buttons at the top of the movie with effects on them. When you click on them they bring up a new image. The code is as follows:-

on (rollOver) {
if (_root.link_ph<>photo) {
this.gotoAndPlay("s1");
}
}
on (releaseOutside, rollOut) {
if (_root.link_ph<>photo) {
this.gotoAndPlay("s2");
}
}
on (release) {
if (_root.link_ph<>photo && _root.G<>1 && _root.link<>page && _root.G2<>1) {
_root.G = 1;
_root.G2 = 1;
_parent["item_ph"+_root.link_ph].gotoAndPlay("s2");
_root.link_ph = photo;
_root.cont_mov.all_cont.gall.massk.play();
_parent["item"+_root.link].gotoAndPlay("s2");
_root.link = page;
_root.cont_mov.gotoAndPlay("s1");
}

if (_root.link_ph<>photo && _root.G<>1) {
_root.G = 1;
_parent["item_ph"+_root.link_ph].gotoAndPlay("s2");
_root.link_ph = photo;
_root.cont_mov.all_cont.gall.massk.play();
}
}

Can anyone give me some guidance on what is going on with this script. I am struggling to find out where the code is getting the images from. I can see the bitmaps (images) in the library but would really like to know where I should look for the objects (or whatever) on the stage. I hope that makes sense. I am a newbie and trying to get my head around this. I just hope I have not wasted my money buying this template.

I'm completely new to Flash so I'm trying to keep it simple. I purchased a flash template (http://www.flashtemplatezone.com/Templates-ID/300110072) with the hopes my plans of making a dynamic side would be easier than I thought. Of course I was wrong. I have some simple website building skills with WYSIWYG (Dreamweaver) editors. In a nutshell I don't want to change the action or templates, only the wording. Like change "Military Unit" to an original logo, and maybe add some pics, as well as change the words on the links on the index and other templates. Could someone lead me to some instructions, simply explain how I could do that please? Thanks.

One Template, Many Looks?
I searched and also went through the tutorials. But once again, I don't even know the approach so am not sure what to look for. I know the result I want (become a world renowned mx guru and make more money that Bill Gates). Sorry, I dozed off for a sec . . .

The tutorials that came closest were Tutorial 28 attachMovie and Tutorial 32 LoadVariables and LoadVars Objects

What I would like to do is by using actionscript generate a simple interface. This part I think I can do.

ActionScript Code:
boxOne_mc._x = 100;
boxOne_mc._y = 100;

boxTwo_mc._x = 200;
boxTwo_mc._y = 100;

boxOne_mc._x = 300;
boxOne_mc._y = 100;

btnOne_mc.x = 5;
btnOne_mc.y = 100;

et cetera

where I have some five movie clips that I will always want to show, but have them arranged in two different manners. To keep this example simple. Let's say I want one swf to have 5 horizontal boxes and the other to have 5 vertical boxes (I will also apply the same to a series of buttons, but that's later).

So I would like to create what??? Is it an array? A function? See I'm totally lost as to where to start.

I have these movie clips (boxes and buttons) and also a news box a la Jesse's tutorial

ActionScript Code:
holder.loadVariables("file.txt");

just point me to a thread, I'm sure that is has been done a billion times (a billion, hmm, Bill Gates . . . did you know that a million dollars is to Bill Gates like 42 cents is to the average American?).

Thanks!
