Flash :: Question About The "Full Flash Site" Tutorial...

Full Flash Site Tutorial
Hey,
I read your flash tutorial on a web-site http://www.kirupa.com/developer/mx/full_site.htm, but I had a question. How do you make your other .swf files appear in the middle? I copied and pasted the code, but when you click on the button it doesn't do anything.

Thanks for your time!

Tutorial Problem - Full Flash Site
OK, so I followed the tutorial on kirupa.com on how to build a full flash site. I've modified it a little to add animations for when all the page elements come in (nav buttons, text boxes, etc). However, after checking and rechecking the code and animations, I'm still getting errors from the buttons that are supposed to load the other swf files. I'm attaching the swf (the fla is too big), email me and I'll send you the fla.
Thanks in advance

Creating A Full Site In Flash Tutorial
I read the tutorial on how to create a full flash site: http://www.kirupa.com/developer/mx/full_site.htm.

I want to know if you can have load another SWF from an already loaded SWF file.

Eg. Say I have index.swf and file1.swf and file2.swf

From index.swf, I load file1.swf into that movie clip ('contents'). I want to put a link to file2.swf on file1.swf, but I want file2.swf to load in 'contents' which is located in index.swf.

How do I do that?

Thanks in advance!

Question About Creating Full Flash Site Tutorial
I have successfully recreated the full flash site in the tutorial of the same name, and I am now trying to apply what I have learned to my own document. The problem I am running into is with the contents movie clip which will hold the swfs I want to load. The tutorial puts this clip at location 0,0 in the main timeline. I want to have it somewhere else, say for instance x=270, y=175. When I do that I don't see the .swf, however, if I put the container clip at 0,0 I do see my swf, it is just not where I want it. Basically, I want to be able to place an image in a specific place in my movie, not at 0,0. Can anyone help me figure this out.

Also I might want to place this image behind a mask and then use buttons to scroll through the image, is there a way to do this using an external swf?

Any help would be greatly appreciated.

Thanks

Scrolling Text - Full Flash Site Tutorial
Hi

Under the Flash MX tutorials, there is a tutorial entitled "Full Flash Site". The tutorial was very helpful and easy to follow, howerver, one of the pages showed a scrolling text box; the "Locations" link. I was wondering if anyone could show me how to do this. I can create scrolling boxes with Flash's standard components, but they are not anywere near as nice as these ones.

Anyone help?

Having Problems Doing The Full Flash Site Tutorial In Flash 5
I'm at the point where I'm trying to put code in the buttons using a movie I created.

Here's the follwing code:

on (release) {
_root.contents.loadmovie
("mymoviename.swf");
}

I have a blank MC with the instance name "Contents"

Problem:
When I press the button I get an error and also its pointing to the wrong folder for the movie.

It worked perfectly when I had the Flash MX trial but it's not working now that I'm using my Flash 5

'Full Site Tutorial' - Need Some Help
Hi, This is my first post here, though I have been visiting the site for quite some time now, its very helpful to someone like me, trying to learn some Flash on my own.
I need some help with the 'full site' tutorial featured on this site, can anyone help me with this, wld really appreciate it.
I am trying to make a site based on this tutorial, with the load movie action code. I have my 4 buttons that have the load movie action given to them. Problem is, 2 of the external swfs are loading and displaying correctly (in the empty movie clip), but the other 2, the ones with the percentage preloaders in them (the other 2 swfs have no preloaders) are not, all I can see is the % at 0(zero), it seems to be stuck there. This means the movies have loaded, but are not going beyond the preloader?

What cld be wrong? Does anyone know how to fix this?

thanks- whizzz

Help With Full-site Tutorial Needed...
I downloaded the full-site tutorial folder, and noticed that the icons for the external swf. look differen't than the icons of the swf's I exported from FlashMX to Dreamweaver. Is there an explanation for that?

I made a movie following all the steps in the tutorial, using my own images, and I just can't get it to work in Dreamweaver!
All the files are in the same map: swf., html., and fla. I've been working on this for days and even though I followed the tutorial very carefuly.....
Well, I just don't know what I'm doing wrong.
Hope someone can help me.

regards

Full Site Tutorial : LoadMovie Location
Hello!

http://kirupa.com/developer/mx/full_site2.htm

I was going through this tutorial here on my own and I came across a bit of a problem. My site is sized differently than the one used here, so I think that's part of the problem.

The basic idea of that tutorial is that you have a base page, and the LoadMovie thing brings in the others. Well, mine is working, but the .swf that gets loaded is off center. It's hanging off my page!

How do I get it to load where I want it to load?

Any ideas?

Thanks!

Full Flash Site - Site Architecture Problem
Sorry for this post, but i'm really having trouble grasping the idea of multiple clips, transitions and the scripting to make it all happen.

I have been fiddling with flash for over 3 years now and should be alot farther along, I just wish i had spent as much time on flash as I have on Photoshop.

I now have my own domain, and want to make a fully flash site, as imageReady rollovers just don't get it for me anymore and I want to make a nice site with some impact...queue the flash guru's

The site i'm looking at and want to model as an experiment is www.desalledesigns.com

as far as I can tell, I need the following movie clips

1. transition (to include a preloader... close one content, preload scene, open next content)
2. content1
3. content2
4. content3
5. intro (actually would be a scene)
6. and so on.

is there a tutorial around that dives into this type of site organization?

Full Flash Site
i'm in the process of working on my first full flash site in mx. i'm using the gotoandplay function to divide my site into pages, each of which opens with a motion tweened animation. when a page is open and another is selected the open page simply disappears and the new animation begins to bring in the new page. is it possible to attach an animation onto the page which is closing aswell as the openinig page, if so how would i go about doing this. i will attach the .fla to show what i have done so far in case people dont quite understand my question.

Cheers people.

SEO For A Full Flash Web Site?
**Please tell me if I need to post this elsewhere!**

I am absolutely confused about how to get good search engine optimization with a Flash site!

All I read, from the pros, is that meta tags are not read by the majority (if not all) of the search engines out there any more.

If that is so, how are you supposed to catch a search engine's eye, when the entire site is done in Flash?

Please help me sort this out!

Full Flash Site
I'm farily new in flash and I know the basics pretty well other then knowing What is the best way to lay out a full flash site? Should you make each page by using scenes or should you just have one long scene and make each page a location on the timeline, or do I make each page it's on swf file? What the best way. Also I would like to make nice transitions inbetween the pages..example would be a swipe or fade out and fade in. Any suggestions for this as well?
Thanks

Full Flash Site
Hi I am sort of new to flash I can do basic animation and create flash "pieces" for websites like menus etc.
Now I want to try making an entire web site in flash and my biggest goal in doing so is so when you hit a button it will do an animation of the images/text leaving and the new images/text flying in.
I have no idea where to start.

Thanx

I have an issue. I have a client who wants me to do a newspaper site. I did my research & found that pretty much all news sites are not in flash. Flash is what I am comfortable designing in, it's pretty much all i've done sites in. I know the basics of html, but I pretty much no nothing about css & all the other stuff. Now if I design this site in flash are there any downfalls to doing so? if there are what would they be? Any opinion on what I should do would be greatly appreciated.

Thanks.

Full Flash Site Help
I have a small question here. I am making a Flash site, and I've almost got things just about setup like I want, except for one thing. I've got my navigation buttons on there, and they all load external movie clips to bring up the various parts of the site. I want one movie clip to be loaded with the site by default. It's my "home" section of the site.

Can someone give me some sort of code that would call this movie clip everytime the site loads? And hopefully tell me where to insert it. I thought maybe putting a "this.onEnterFrame" function there, but that went to hell..so...

...Any ideas?

Full Flash Site
im trying to make a site almost fully in flash using various stages. The problem is this: the buttons do not work untill the user clicks the stage. I know it just takes this one extra click to activate a stage, but I want it to be more professional. I know its possible... I mean, what about the advertising banners up on most sites. they only need to be clicked once. if it can't be done with flash I'm willing to learn whatever language is nessasary.(i need all buttons to activate when the site loads)

Thanks in advance, Zac

Hello all.

I have recently read and am in the process of attempting my first flash site. I have followed the tuturial but am having problems. After I add the action script to the button on my main page and go to preview it I get an error message. The message reads "Error opening URL" then it gives the path to the file. Any answers? I am sure it is something simple that I have overlooked but thought I would ask instead of continueing to bang my head on my PC.

Thanks in advance.

Help With Full Flash Site.
Okay I was following the tutorial. And while the tutorial worked, mine is not. I am running mx on a Mac. I have my home page working the way I want. However, when I go to click to load the next clip in the movie layer, it has an error loading the movie. My script is the same as the tutorial, other than the file names of course. Is there something that I am missing? I have the links as buttons, the movie instance name is "contents", the .swf file is in the same folder as the .fla file I am trying to get to load the .swf file. Please help.....Please!

Full Flash Site
Hi guys,

Im relatively new to Flash but im just about to start making my first full Flash site and I was wondering what do you think are the ideal dimensions that my Flash site wants to be. It will mainly be a portfolio for photography and graphic design. DO many people still use 800x600 res or not.

Sorry if this is an inane question, i have looked around the site for answers but couldnt find any.

thanks

how I could do a full flash site?

cuz always when I wirte the heightXwidth the sides of the site always stay a html and not a flash part.....

please help me....

Full Flash Site
Just curious, I'm relatively new to flash. I've done a few small banners, but nothing major. I've learned a lot about actionscript and loading swfs externally to build a full flash site. My question is, do you do most of your animations with actionscript, or do you still find yourself using timeline a lot? The timeline just seems so much easier to control everything more precisely.

I'm working on my first full flash site and having trouble getting everything that I want done with actionscript.

Full Flash Site
Hi,
I'm starting on my first full flash site and I’m not sure whether to use different scenes for each page, a separate swf file, or just do everything in the main timeline. The tutorial I’m working from shows everything in the main timeline, but it’s a really simple site showing only the basics of this concept. My site will also be relatively simple with only 5 pages, but it has a fairly large image gallery, so I’m not sure if I should follow that model. Any ideas? Any other links to tutorials would also be greatly appreciated!
