Inserting Video
I am VERY new to this and get confused pretty easy, so here it is - I viewed some samples to get some idea of how things wrok. I made a small movie clip of boxes changing colors. I started another movie and added some buttons to go to a frame and stop. OK, my movie clip covers 5 frames - and you probably know what I'm going to say - when a button is pressed the movie clip stops - how do I keep this movie clip looping.
Thanks Tom

Inserting Flash Video Into HTML
Hi Everyone! I'm new here and am hoping someone out there might be able to help. I'm building my own website (never done it before, so all the jargon is new to me) and have purchased a ready made Flash video to use on my opening page. Unfortunately I simply cannot figure out how to get it there. I've got as far as seeing a video type box similar to the ones you'd see on YouTube but that's not how the file looks when I view it in its html format. I'm using one of Serif's DIY packages. Am not sure if this doesn't support it???? Can anyone give me some advice please????
Inserting Flash Video Into HTML Page
Hello,
This is probably a silly question, but how can you take a video you have encoded into flash and insert it into an HTML page? I tested the video with the "test movie" in flash and there it was, video and controls and all. How do you now take this to the HTML page to place it where you want on there?
Thanks again!

Inserting An Advertisement In The Flash Player While The Video Buffers
Hi!,
I have a web site with videos and they will be streamed thru a flash player. Now my requirement is basically a skin with the following feature..
A JPEG advertisement is displayed while the video connects and buffers. Once the video is ready, the JPEG is removed and the video plays. At the completion of the video, the JPEG is replaced. I shall be using a banner ad management software so as to make a geo targeting ad..
Well my requirement is that I need to have static advertisement displayed while the video connects and buffers. JPEG is removed and the video plays. At the completion of the video, the JPEG is replaced.
Can anyone help me as to how it is done OR give me script for the same.
Please feel free to contact me on my email.. sukhmaniaps@rediffmail.com
regards,

LIST And VIDEO LAYERS
I had the beginnings of a nice video all ready to go and then attempted to adjust the video size and move the list over just a little. What happens next. There is a HUGE gap between the video and list as well as the skin disappearing and I would hate to have to do it all over again because it takes so long to get it right. U can see a sample at http://www.holisticperspective.net/index1.html
uuurrrhhh.
Merging Layers Or Scanning Layers Into Image
Hello all. Been awhile since I've been to the FlashKit forums, but I'm learning something new.
Anyway, I've been programming in AS1 and AS2 for awhile and just recently started learning to do AS3. To start my learning progress I'm making a drawing program...
So far I just have draw and erase functions. Every time you "draw" it creates a new Shape object to draw on. This way if I want to add "Undo" I just go through and delete the new Shape object one by one. When you erase it creates a layer above the last draw area with a blend mode of "erase". So pretty simple.
The problem I have so far is that after drawing and erasing a bit it starts to get laggy as all the layers pile up on top of each other. When I add an undo function I will only have 10 steps of undo so to reduce overhead. But even without undo the extra layers are needed to be able to erase part of the drawing and then draw over where you erased.
So this brings me to my question. Is there a way in AS3 to merge together multiple layers or Shape objects? So after so many layers are created by drawing and erasing I can merge them into one flat one to reduce the processing needed.
I was thinking maybe I could do this though scanning the pixels on the clip contaning all the layers? I know I worked with saving images in Flash 8 before, but not sure how this works in AS3. I hear it's faster, hopefully fast enough to not have to wait 5 minutes every so many times you draw in my program.
And here's the code I have so far:
code:
var drawArray:Array=new Array();
var layerClip:MovieClip=new MovieClip();
var drawArea:Shape= new Shape();
this.addChild(layerClip);
layerClip.addChild(drawArea);
layerClip.blendMode=BlendMode.LAYER
drawArray.push(drawArea);
var drawLayer:int=0;
var prevX:int=0;
var prevY:int=0;
var erase:Boolean=false;
function runDraw(event:MouseEvent) {
drawArray[drawLayer].graphics.curveTo(prevX, prevY,(prevX+drawArray[drawLayer].mouseX)/2,(prevY+drawArray[drawLayer].mouseY)/2);
prevX=drawArray[drawLayer].mouseX;
prevY=drawArray[drawLayer].mouseY;
event.updateAfterEvent();
}
function startDraw(event:MouseEvent):void {
if (erase) {
drawArray[drawLayer].blendMode=BlendMode.ERASE
drawArray[drawLayer].graphics.lineStyle(6, 0x990000, .75);
}
else {
drawArray[drawLayer].graphics.lineStyle(2, 0x990000, .75);
}
drawArray[drawLayer].graphics.moveTo(drawArray[drawLayer].mouseX, drawArray[drawLayer].mouseY);
prevX=drawArea.mouseX;
prevY=drawArea.mouseY;
stage.addEventListener(MouseEvent.MOUSE_MOVE, runDraw);
}
function stopDraw(event:MouseEvent):void {
stage.removeEventListener(MouseEvent.MOUSE_MOVE, runDraw);
var drawArea:Shape= new Shape();
layerClip.addChild(drawArea);
drawArray.push(drawArea);
drawLayer++;
}
function toggleErase(event:MouseEvent):void {
if (erase) {
erase=false;
}
else {
erase=true;
}
}
stage.addEventListener(MouseEvent.MOUSE_DOWN, startDraw);
stage.addEventListener(MouseEvent.MOUSE_UP, stopDraw);
eraseBut.addEventListener(MouseEvent.CLICK, toggleErase);
Turn Selected Layers Into Guide Layers?

Anybody know how?
Importing AI Layers As Flash Layers
Is there a way to import Illustrator layers as Flash layers. Most of the time I export my Illustrator file as a swf then import it into flash. Then One by one I have copy an object...delete...then make a new layer and past it in place..
[F8] Layers ... Oh, GOOD LAWD, Layers
Greetings, Flash Gurus and Gurus-to-be,
i am mocking up a site, which can be found at HERE
The only links operational are Catering and King Cakes, and are only operational if you REFRESH the page. i know i am lacking a preloader, i have it built, but am not wasting time with it right now.
As you can see from the example, i have our little Butcher Guy off to the left, and for each "department" of our organization, i would like to dress him for the part. i want our butcher guy to fade in and out, and in the case of the King Cake page, i would like our logo and the Italian flag on the left to change into the traditional Mardi Gras colors in all their gaudy splendor.
My problem lies in the fact that my men seem to be piling up on one another, as does my Italian and Mardi Gras flags.
If i use "index.html" to load "Master.swf" (which is the initial, fade in page), and master.swf has inside of it, actionscript to load "MasterMardiGras.swf", (which is the King Cake page), how would i go about getting control and order in here?
Copies of the swf files are here:

Question About Controlling Layers From Other Layers
Is it possbile to create an action in a loaded movie in layer1 that will tell the movie in layer0 to go to a specific frame and start playing?
Another question I have is, can you load a movie into a container or layer and have it start, not at the begininning, but at a specific spot in the loaded movie's timeline?
Hidden Layers Vs Guide Layers
I often have things on a layer that I don't want to see while I'm working on another layer and frequently testing and tweaking and I used to just have those hidden in the timeline and they would publish. And if I didn't want a layer to publish, I'd make it a guide. In CS3 it seems that those hidden layers won't publish (though at times I've had them publish for me in certain files, but I don't know why).
Is there a setting I can choose to make hidden fields publish like they did prior to CS3?
Action Scripted Layers Always Act As Top Layers?
I used this snow effect from kirupa...
<A href="http://http://www.kirupa.com/developer/mx/snow.htm
However, the snow effect always acts like the top layer, ok what i mean is, i have 3 layers, (1)toplayer= a car, (2)middle= snow, (3)low= background.
I want to make the snow to be seen behind the car...i hope you understand what i mean , whenever i put the code from the link above it acts as the top layer and appears in front of everything.
Any help is appreciated...

Inserting A MC Into Another MC
Problem:
I would like to create a button that when the user rolls over it, a SEPARATE movie clip displays information related to that particular button: i.e Roll over HOME button and on the other side of the movie a sign pops up: "Click here to go home."
I have a quite a bit of info to display, as well as the info will b changing every month so it has to be easily updatable.
Again, thanks for the help.

Inserting The <img> Tag .. . Please Help :(
i've a flash file on my site (http://www.servantmediagroup.com), and in it, I'm calling xxxx_gallery.html on the media link. The html file appears fine, and scrolls as we want it to, but I need to somehow get an image or swf inserted in there to be displayed as well. The image is smg_logo.jpg and swf is butt_gallery4.swf. All files are in the same directory. And the image appears fine when the html page is viewed on its own (http://www.servantmediagroup.com/xxxx_gallery.html). But I just can't get the darn thing to show on the site I've looked up my problem, and know that flash only supports a limited set of tags, and it can only view progressive jpgs. Which I have. It supports the <img> tag along with the src attribute, and I've tried <img src="smg_logo.jpg">, <img src='smg_logo.jpg'>, <img="smg_logo.jpg">, <img>="smg_logo.jpg", <img>='smg_logo.jpg' . .. . I've run out of things to try honestly The field in the flash file is dynamic and set to render html, and I don't think that's really the problem, as the file is being displayed .. . just not the image, which leads me to think it's my tag I'm using Flash MX 2004, and I just don't know what else to do, can someone please please please please help me ???

Inserting Frames?
Hi all. I'm a flash newbie still trying to grasp the basics.
Suppose I have made a simple animation of a square that moves across the screen in 10 frames. I created a motion tween from frame 1 to frame 10, and everything is fine. Now, suppose I want this square to move more slowly.. I want it to take 15 frames to move across the screen. What's the best way to insert frames so that this motion moves more slowly? I can't "insert keyframe" or "insert blank keyframe", those both seem to break the animation.
Any advice is appreciated. Thanks in advance.

Inserting Code
I really need to know how to insert code into my movie. I tried to paste it in the "frame actions" but it says I can't.
Inserting Frames
I'm trying to follow the tutorials (on this site and on others) but whenever I'm asked to insert frames, I seem to get confused. An excerpt from the tutorial says:
"Add 40 Frames to the movie by clicking at Frame 1 of the Actions Layer and dragging down to the bottom layer to select the frames and then click F5 to add the Frames"
In their screen capture of the Flash timeline, the last frame (which is 40 in this case) is blank. But when I insert these frames, at frame 40 there will be a rectangle icon instead of being blank like their sample.
I am using Flash MX.
