Flash :: Script To Move A Reel Of Pics?

Dynamic Loading Pics And Variables?how To Change Pics Depending On Buttons Or Text
i want to load jpegs into a swf dynamically. I saw a post confirming u can do it w/load movie script. Heres my question:

first off: in the folder w/my movie, i have jpegs labeled
1-9

in the movie, when someone presses a button, var x is changed to the corresponding number, 1-9

what i want is to place this variable inside the loadmovie somehow so depending on the button pressed a new img loads

i dont wanna type out long if then statements seeing as how this will quickly extend to about 1-400.

im kinda brain dead rite now, whats a dynamic way of gettings imgs with relatively short, versatile code

How Do I Replace Pics In My Flash Template With My Own Pics?
Hi there! Ok, I've got this flash menu bar set up. The problem I've got is the fact that it's a template, and I'm not sure how to change those 4 little pictures of those male models at the bottom of the flash area. The ones that are spinning around every few seconds.

How do I set it so that it uses the pics I want, instead of those pics? I've figured out how to add the pics to the library, but it only adds them as bitmaps, and I don't know how to make them "graphics" and how to replace the current pics with them...

Can someone give me some advice on how to do this? I'm probably ging to need some pretty detailed help too... SOrry. I'm just really new to flash. I've read some tut's, but theyre not too helpful for what I want to do...

Thanks guys. My AIM is NoahPsych is anyone cares enough to help me by IMing me. That'd probably be best!

Thanks again!

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!

[F8] Help With Photo Reel
nevermind..

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]

Help With Picture Reel
I'm creating a picture show reel. It's very basic, but it's only for learning purposes. As far as I can tell, the Actionscript is correct. It's supposed to show three slides, but instead it's showing four. And the first two are overlapping each other. Can someone take a look at it for me? Thanks. I'll also post the code. It might be fruitless though if not looking at the FLA. It can be obtained from here

center = Stage.width/2;
cellWidth = reel_mc.cell_mc._width;
_root.onEnterFrame = function() {
leftStop = center-reel_mc._width+cellWidth/2;
rightStop = center-cellWidth/2;
reelSpeed = (_xmouse-center)/10;
reel_mc._x += reelSpeed;
if (reel_mc._xrightStop) {
reel_mc._x = rightStop;
}
};
function NewCell(num, details) {
oldClip = _root.reel_mc.cell_mc;
newClip = oldClip.duplicateMovieClip("cell"+num, num);
newClip._x = num*300;
}

NewCell(1, "");
NewCell(2, "");
NewCell(3, "");

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.

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?

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.

I'm working on a Flash presentation that will be an instructional tutorial. I'm teaching users how to navigate a map and I'd like to have them move a ruler or legend to measure distances between two points. Can anyone direct me to a reference source that can help me set this up?

Preloader Progress Bar Not Move In IE, But Move Well In Firefox
I have been in this problem for several days. I really got frustrated about it. Pls. anybody can give me some help.

I created a general preloader using movieClipLoader object and draw a progress bar using movieClip. I set the progress bar's progress by setting bar_mc._x = percentage, and created as a swf file. when test it , it works well, when open it using firefox, it still work well, can show the gradual progress in the bar, but if I using IE 6 or 7 to open it, it will not show the gradual progress , just jump from 0% to 100% after the whole file is completely loaded.

I saw a note about progress bar not show graduate progress in Flash Player 9, so I uninstall it and install Flash Player 8 again, it is still like that.

I really don't know what 's the problem. Could any friends give me some suggestion or idea, that will be greatly helpful.

Thanks.
