Motion Guide Help Needed
Hello,

I would really appreciate some advice...

I have designed a flower petal falling off a branch, I want the petal to go all over the screen doing loop the loops etc. I have worked out how to do the motion guide, however I think my guide was too complicated because it just didn't work. So what I decided to do (I think this is the easiest way) is to do a few motion guides, the petal does follow them this time. However, the next problem is that when one motion guide finnishes, it loops and even though I want the petal to keep going around the screen, I want the other motion guides to finnish first before the first one starts again... I hope I haven't lost you lol. Is there anyway to like delay the motion guide for a few frames before it loops?

Anyway, I would really appreciate any help

Many thanks,

Helen

Button Targets? Help PlZZZZ :)
Ok here is basically what im trying to do. I am creating a portfolio site kinda like whoswe has (with the scrollable buttons that hold each project).

Anyways, I created a scrollpane to scroll the buttons. Because I have to use a symbol holding all my buttons for the scrollpane, how would I go about coding the buttons to gotoandstop at a certain frame in the main scene (called Scene1)?

I tried this but it did not work at all.

on (release) {
gotoAndStop("Scene1", 131);
}

Any suggestions would be very helpful. Thanks.

Desperately Seeking Help, Condition Not Met, Plzzzz Help
I seriously need help on this guys.

I have a skill entry question and checking to see if the answered question was 17 or not, by the user, is not working.

Plus after clicking on submit, where would I put a GotoAndPlay frame 45?

My code:

on (release) {

if (age eq "") { info = "Please enter your Age"; }
else if (age <= 8) { info = "You are not applicable"; }
else if (age <= 13) { info = "Parental consent form"; }
else if (fname eq "") { info = "Please add your first name"; }
else if (lname eq "") { info = "Please add your last name"; }
else if (Address eq "") { info = "Please enter your adrress"; }
else if (city eq "") { info = "Please enter your City"; }
else if (acode eq "") { info = "Please enter your area code"; }
else if (prnumber eq "") { info = "Please enter your phone number"; }
else if (ponumber eq "") { info = "Please complete your phone number"; }
else if (zip eq "") { info = "Please enter your Zip or Postal Code"; }
else if (answer eq "") { info = "Please enter your skill testing question"; }
else if (answer != "17") { info = "wrong answer, please try again"; }

stateprov = state_cb.getValue();
if (stateprov == "Choose a State/Province") {
info = "Please enter your State/Province";
}
country = country_cb.getValue();
if (country == "Choose a Country") {
info = "Please enter your country";

}

n="1";
if (n==1) {
if (n==1) {
state = state_cb.getValue();

url_string = "?fname=" add fname add "&lname=" add lname add "&age=" add age add "&address=" add address add "&city=" add city add "&acode=" add acode add "&prnumber=" add prnumber add "&ponumber=" add ponumber add "&state=" add state;
u_length = length(url_string);
num = "1";
url_full = "";
while (Number(num)<=Number(u_length)) {
if (Number(ord(substring(url_string, num, 1))) == 32) {
url_full = url_full add "+";
} else if (Number(ord(substring(url_string, num, 1))) == 7 or Number(ord(substring(url_string, num, 1))) == 10 or Number(ord(substring(url_string, num, 1))) == 11 or Number(ord(substring(url_string, num, 1))) == 13) {
url_full = url_full add "%0D%0A";
} else {
url_full = url_full add substring ( url_string, num, 1 );

}
num = Number(num)+1;
}
loadVariablesNum("postdata.php" add url_full, 0);

}
}
ok1 = "0";
ok2 = "0";
ok3 = "0";
ok4 = "0";

}

Ok, so for some reason, this: else if (answer != "17") { info = "wrong answer, please try again"; }
Never ever gets processed, anyone know why?
The user should be able to continue if he doesn't answer 17 in the skill entry question.

If anyone has any ideas, I would really apreciate any help given or offered.

Thanks

Whats The Best Guide To Flash 5?

What Is Flash? The Dummy's Guide
Hi

I have to write a very simple paper on what Flash is, and how to use it, including some of it's main, basic features.

I work for a localisation company, so we get websites to localise (translate)which more often than not conatin some kind of Flash animation. We ask for the editable fla files then strip out any text for translation, then put it back in.

The paper is aimed at Production Project Managers who have to run the project, but don't have to do any of the Flash work (we have a DTP dept to do that!). It's just so that they can have a clue about what it is that they are dealing with.

I'd be really grateful if anyone could offer me a simple definition with some pointers as to where to go to find simple information - blinding people with science is *not* the aim here...!

I have Flash 5 installed and have been running through the lessons, but am lacking a simple description to introduce the whole thing. Like advantages, what it's used for, what you can do with it, etc, etc...

By the way, I also have to do the same sort of thing for Director, so if you know anything about that too then all info would be gratefully received...!

Thanks in advance!

Wanted: CD For Flash Guide
This is the only place I could think of to look for this because the manufacturer ceased production. I'm looking for a copy of the CD that comes with the book:
"Macromedia Flash 5 Developer's Guide" by P.S. Woods
If anyone has this I'll gladly pay for it and shipping costs because the book is worthless without it.

Using Flash MX Guide Bar Feature
I am using the Flash MX Guide bar feature to animate objects along a specified path. I have no problem making that work, however, when I draw a path line for my objects (using the Smooth setting option) Flash still seems only to draw a jagged line, resulting in jerky moving objects on the screen. Am I missing some setting or feature that allows me to create a smooth line for my objects to follow?

Flash Best Practice Development Guide
Hi all,

Does anyone have or know where to find guides on subjects such as
Flash MX 'Best practice' and so on.

I am about to embark on a fairly hefty project and need some sort of overview as to how this should be handled. I am fairly new to flash but will nee to consider areas such as.....

1. Security.
2. Structure.
3. FIle locations.
4. Use of remote or local classes.

I need to create a very very secure front end that is to integrate into a coldfusion server that in turn will speak via EJB's and the like to the back end systems, hence i need to ensure the most stable, efficient and secure front end possible.

Cheers in advance.

Is There Any Auto-guide To Scripting In Flash MX?
I just started to use Flash MX and find that it is very difficult to script because unlike Flash 5 there isnt any "auto-guides" in Flash MX. There is no Basic Action or Action, Operators section etc
I cant find simple commands like loadmovie or if_else scripts and will end up typing errors.
is there a way i can write simple scripts easier without errors? Is there any way I can find simple commands like loadmovie, gotoandplay, stop etc ?

Typo In Flash Detection Kit Guide?
I was reading about ActionScript detection method of detecting Flash versions, and I came across this bit that doesn't seem to make sense. Should that last sentence be a bullet point of the previous list, so it would in effect read: "Avoid using ActionScript detection when you would prefer to display alternate content inline rather than directing end users to the Flash Player installation page" ?

Guide To Build Snow Effect In Flash
My name is Steven and i'm new in learning flash, recently i saw a flash posted "http://www.flashkit.com/movies/Effects/Mouse_Trailers/Snow_Mou-Drew_Pan-7470/index.php" which have the effect of snow flakes coming out of the mouse cursor, however the action script maybe too hard for me to understand and i am unable to see truly how the flash was build.

I wish to implement the technique into my flash and hope that anyone can give me some step by step guide in how to build that effect in flash.

I'm currently using flash mx 2004 to build my flash, your help on this is greatly appreciated. Thx.

ActionScript For Flash MX: The Definitive Guide - Still Relevant ?
Hello : i was about to lay down the payment for this book, when i realised its based on Flash MX, not 2004, and it reportadly thin on AS2 and more slanted towards AS1.

so, a quick question really : is it still worth the $35 Amazon wants , or is there a more up to date book anyone recommends ?

much appreciated.

(i did get Moock's 'Essential Actionscript 2' but its taking me too long to absorb it, so i figured i needed to go back ka step)

Complete Basic Flash Website Guide
Has anyone made on of these before? and if so where can I find one - I've been through textbooks and excersizes and individual tutorials, and I can do basic animations, and drawing.
However - what I'd really like to read - is a comprehensive article/ebook that goes through animation - buttons - drawing - preloaders, and then subsequently, how to put these things together and make them into the final product. Ideally a full set of instructions to make a simple flash-site start to finish. One could then expand on the base design completed and go on to make something more complex...
Any feedback much appreciated.

Beginners Guide To Integrating Flash Media Server 2?
I'm a newbit to Flasha dn flash media server and need some help with integrating the two products. We've just purchased Flash Media Server 2 to stream user created videos to a website. Idealy we would like to use the FlvPlayBack component placed on the stage to display the FLV file from the media server, but cannont get the component to access the FLV file.

Media Server Configuration:
On the Media Server we created an application (testapp) with an default instance (_definst_). The directory path for the Appliation looks like this W:MediaApps estappstreams\_definst_

The name of the server is MediaServer

The application and instance are appearing in the Media Server Admin manager.

I've placed an FLV file (Movie.flv) In the _devinst_ directory.

Flash FLA file
Placed FLVPlayback component on the stage
Set contentpath= rtmp:\MediaServer estapp\_definst_Movie
Set islive=true
When I test publish the file, the video does not display?

Does anyone have any guidance on what I need to do? There seems to be a lack of documentation on integrating the media server. I looked a sample app called "SimplePB" that works, but does not use the FLVPlayback component.

Any help would be appreciated.

Thank you,

John Wallwork

[Noob] Full Flash Site Like Guide Not Workign Somehow
First of all u can get the fla file at www.choller.cistron.nl/site.zip

New To Flash, Not HTML - Template Customization Pointers And General Guide Required
Greetings all

Taking my first foray into the world of Flash and I've purchased this template and have a few Qs regarding making it my own.

How much of what do I have to learn in order to be able to customize the template and include my own content

My experience with Flash is limited (running Flash 8) so I'm starting from scratch but I know my way around HTML quite well.

In relation to the template:

How do I make the hyperlink buttons actually link to something?

How do I create scroll bars for text content?

Hyperlinked popop windows with pic/text content?

Using Shortcuts In Flash Made "guide"
Hi,
I have just made an "e-learning" guide for a software. It simulates the software for training purposes, with guides, speak and instructions.

At one point the user has to press "ctrl" + "n" to simulate making a new entry in the sotware.

This works fine locally and in Firefox, but if the guide is viewed in internet explorer, the expolorer opens a new explorer window when the user presses ctrl+N - this is ofcourse the correct responce from the IE, but I would like to override that function for this guide.
(for some reason Firefox does not react to the shortcut ctrl+N when running the guide)

- how can i do that??? or is it at all possible??

Gig Guide... XML?
Hello,.. I'm probably out of my depth here, as I always tend to be. I try working it out for myself, then resort to looking at kirupa.com for help, then end up on the forum becasue im too impatient and end up getting nowhere at all.

Anywho!

My objective...

I wish to create a banner displaying upcoming gigs for my band on which I will put up on our bands myspace.

Basically, I want 2 bits of information in text form, fading in and out on my banner. The Date and Location. But I want the information to change each time the text fades out so once it fades back in, the text displayed will be different... Let me try and explain this so a Mule can understand:

TEXT IS FADED (INVISIBLE, CANT BE SEEN)
Text is loaded from an external source, with the information:
Date: 31st Feb Location: Superdome, Kansas City
THIS TEXT FADES IN AND IS DISPLAYED FOR A WHILE THEN FADES OUT
Then new Text is loaded and the process is repeated.

I hope this is explained well enough, please reply if you can help, or need further explanation. Any help is much appriciated!
