Advice On Making A Cd-rom. Embed Movie
Hi! I'm still around after a week or two of heavy work to do at job. Now i'm a little bit relaxed, i'm facing a new challenge with flash, and i need a little bit of advice.
I'm making a cd-rom for a friend of mine who has a rock band, and we want to include a video-clip of the band on it. I'm making the interface with flash and i was wondering if it was better to embed the movie into the proyector (if so, how do you do that??? Which is the better type of file for that??) or if its better to leave it outside the proyector and call it by fscommand.
If you leave it outside, the user must have the plug in to see the movie, right???
I gues its better to put the movie inside the proyector, because this way you'll get only one .exe file. But i have no idea of the way of doing that... (other way is making it swf??? But i need to know anyway the best way to embed it)
As you see, i'm a sea of doubt... any ideas??

Making A Quote, Need Advice
I have a project manager who wants me to quote on a project doing something I've never done, but which I know is doable. Basically, it involves creating an application to determine the kind of printer cartridge that a printer needs. Here are the particulars:
1. The user selects a printer company
2. Based on selection 1, the user then is given a series of models to choose from
3. Based on selections 1 and 2, the application displays a compatible generic cartridge
4. The whole thing is linked to a database of several hundred categories. The database will be on the user's computer, the type of which is up to us.
I just need a rough idea of about how many hours to quote for. It doesn't need to be perfect, but I don't want to be way off as far as too high or too low. Can anyone give me a ballpark figure?

Making A Flash Game - Help/Advice
Hi, i took a look through some of the tutorials before posting but couldn't find much related to the game i wanted to make, so decided to post hoping someone could help with any advice or even experience making something similar!
I am making a educational flash game based on maths. The user is presented say 30 movieclips, 10 of these 30 movie clips equals two movie clips added together. For example, the user would click 1 and 3, and then another clip with a value of four, these clips would then disappear until the user worked there way down to no movie clips left and completed the game.
I have been able to create the variables using the following code:
for (i=1; i<7; i++) {
_root["q"+i+"a"].sum = random(20)+1;
_root["q"+i+"b"].sum = random(20)+1;
_root["ans"+i].sum = _root["q"+i+"a"].sum+_root["q"+i+"b"].sum;
}
My problems are after that... How would i allow the user to select two movie clips and an answer, and if it was correct it would remove the clips, otherwise it would reset and allow the user to select other clips. Also my answer movie clips are coloured blue and i want to implement code so that the user can only select these blue movie clips if they have selected two normal ones first? Any help would be greatly appreciated...

Making An Active Desktop In Flash. Need Advice
Hi all. This is my first post here.
I'm in the process of attempting a Windows XP Active Desktop, done all in Flash. I have a few questions about doing so.
First. Normally, when you publish a page from Flash MX, there's a border on the html page, around the .swf. Is there a way to make the flash .swf take up the whole html page, with no borders? This will be necessary if I am to make an Active Desktop page.
Second. I want to put buttons on this Active Desktop to open up 'My Computer', 'My Pictures', 'My Music', etc. What commands can I add to the buttons to make them do this. First I tried a getURL action with the URL being "file://%WinDir%/explorer.exe" (for my computer) but it just says that it can't be found, even though when I type the same thing into IE 6.0, it brings up Windows Explorer. So, what actions can I use to do this?
That's it right now, but I'm sure I'll be back with more questions. Thanks in advance for any tips given.
[Flash 8 ActionScript] Need Advice On Making This Lighter/simpler
Hi... so I'm a designer and an AS novice. I would like to improve upon my coding knowledge/skills in a big way so I'm looking for a critique of the following code. Everything works really well how it is, but I was wondering how to make the code lighter or simpler if possible. Can I use loops or arrays for any of this, are there methods and functions I should consider, etc...
So the purpose of the following is to pull in up to 3 movies and recurse through each infinetly or until the user selects one of the tabs or a pause button. On load the first movie loads into the main space and a tab shows up and a progress bar in the tab movie begins to move. When the user clicks the tab the progress bar stops and loads the corresponding movie (the pause button switches to a play button). When play is clicked the progress bar on whatever tab you've selected begins again and the movies once again are switched out.
Code:

Making Dynamic Text Embed
Hi People,
Wonder if anyone can help me. I'm creating a document in flash that I can update myself, however there is someone else that needs to input text into the document that don't have flash. This isn't a problem I just make the text boxes dynamic and inmport the text from a .txt document, meaning they can just type in the .txt file and save it and it automatically updates in the flash file.
HOWEVER when we send this file to clients we want them to have just the flash projector file, not all the .txt files too. How can I do this? it must be possible somehow.
Load Movie Advice?
Hello, my name is Danielle and I am new here. Thanks in advance for anyone who can help me in detail. I apologize but the answer needs to be in dummy talk cause I am not 100% familiar with flash yet, but getting there...
Ok, here is the situation. I have 2 html pages in a site i want to create. The first page is called index.htm and will have one flash swf file on it called intro.swf. On that page, in html coding, when a user clicks on a link, a new .htm page will open up which will be called main.htm. In the 2nd page called main.htm, there will be one large swf flash file that is roughly about 10 megs called music.swf. The reason for this is that I am experimenting with some music files.
Ok.. what I really need advice on is that when the user first navigates to the index.htm page and sees the tiny swf file called intro.swf, I want to start loading the other flash file called music.swf that resides on the .htm page that has yet to be opened (main.htm). Once again, the file music.swf is quite large so I want to start loading it as soon as the user gets to the index.htm page even though the webpage that it resides on has not been opened yet. Thus when the user looks around for a minute or two on the index.htm page and then clicks on the link to goto the main.htm page, the music.swf file will already have been loading ever since the user first navigated to the index.htm site. Sorry for any confusion. Is this possible to accomplish?
Here is a "graphical" breakdown of the situation in case I confused anyone:
htm pages in total: 2
htm page 1 = index.htm
contains: intro.swf (35 kb)
contains: link to open main.htm (coded in html)
htm page 2 = main.htm
contains: music.swf (10 megs) -> with a preloader in the first few frames
Once again, is it possible to start loading music.swf as soon as the user open index.htm so that by the time the user clicks on the link to go to main.htm, the music.swf file will already have begun to load since the first frame in intro.swf?
Thank you guys so much for your understanding! I owe you one!

Movie Clip Advice
http://www.goodwindesigngroup.com/as...ite/index.html
I have a couple of questions about the site above:
My primary question is how do you think the sub menu in the "our Work" section was built. This is the menu that opens and closes with the "open/Close" tab.
I think I am going to make it a movie clip with buttons in it. Does that sound OK?
But how does the "Open/Close" button work.
My second question is how do you think the .fla file was built? Is it a bunch of nested swf files? Because each image has it's own pre-load screen.

unload main.swf movie first then load the new swf file ? then if he click on another button what will happen is there is a better way to unload the loaded movie without naming it each time
or using another way like
b) each swf file have it is own mnue so the script will be easier for me to configer so each case there will be unload the currunt movie and load the pressed one ?
i try the (b) case but i did not success to unload the loaded movie
hope i am clear i know i write a lot but this is because i am not good enought in english
hope if there is a tutorial how to build a complete website using load movie

Advice On Movie Structure For My First Site
I'm in the middle of writing a flash 6 banner/nav bar for my site. I do a lot of Director projects but Flash is fairly new to me.
www.siliconpixel.com
(links don't exist yet apart from home page)
As you can see, I have an animated intro to the nav bar. I didn't want an intro to the whole site as I don't think it will add anything. As I got carried away with my design, I started thinking more and more that the intro (albeit short) would annoy viewers of the site if they have to watch it every time they navigate to a new section (page) - especially as the section buttons don't come in until part way through.
I want the intro animation (pixels moving to logo etc) to play the first time a viewer visits the site but when moving to other sections, just sees the nav bar with the looping squares background. The other sections are easy as I can just create a smaller flash file with the nav bar elements and animation in. The bits I'm not sure on are how to structure the movies so that the viewer only sees the first intro animation once (and not again when pressing back on the browser). Would I need to use some kind of server side session variables to keep track of visitors? Are there other ways of doing it?
I was thinking that I could break the movie into two parts - intro and nav. I guess I could call the nav bar section from the intro. Would this nav bar section then be cached in the viewers browser so that when it plays again on a new page, it's very quick to load? But if the viewer presses back on their browser, how would I stop the intro playing?
Any help and thoughts would be warmly welcomed (and any other thoughts on the movie)!
Thanks,
Digizz.
ADVICE Anyone? Random Movie Clip
Sup everyone. I’m trying to load 7 RANDOM movie clips from the library. For each of the movie clip (under linkage properties), they have an identifier, for example “yup1”, “yup2”, “yup3”, and so on. My movie has one layer and one frame.
On the stage, there is a blank movie clip that has an instance name of “blaaank” where the other movie clips will be loaded into. My problem is that I can’t figure out how to make a random movie clip stay on the screen for a certain amount of time (lets say 10 seconds) before changing it to another random movie clip.
The other action that I want to do involves one button. One button will load another movie clip form the library that has an identifier “stopsign,” which will show something on the screen and in the same time the random movie clips will disappear. The random movie clips will appear once more only if you press on the same button again. I just need help what kind of actionscript I need to put on the button.
So my movie has one layer, one frame, on the screen there is one blank movie clip and a button, and on frame 1 there is an actionscript like this..
i = Math.ceil(Math.random()*7);
_root.blaaank.attachMovie("yup"+i, "nope"+i, 1, {});
Thanks for anyones help
Actionscript Movie Clip Advice
After reading what wrote in the last post, needed to re-write my problem as was unclear.
Basically I have a set number of movie clips with self contained btns, once each clip has played the timeline advances to the next scene where more clips with the same functions lie. I have some script which works fine but wont work again on the following scene. The code is below and all movie clips, buttons and frame labels have been adjusted for the two different scenes. However think something needs changing in the second code to perhaps point at the root timeline of the 2nd scene. The code is as follows:
>mc1.btn1.onPress = function() {
>mc1.play();
>if (!this.played) {
>this.played = true;
>_root.movieStarted++;
>if (_root.movieStarted == 7) {
>this._parent.onEnterFrame = function() {
>if (mc1._currentframe == mc1._totalframes) {
>delete this.onEnterFrame;
>_root.gotoAndPlay("next");
};
}
}
};
Please help!!!
Advice On Movie Clip Or Graphic
my site has a main page that has three buttons to load from an external source the images to show in the main browser window. I have been saving these images as graphics then coding the buttons to load and unload the movie as the user clicks each button...should these images be converted to movie clips or graphics or does it really matter?
Advice Needed For Loading Movie Clips
This is my first site using flash, making it for a friend at work and so far i have managed to get a pretty decent start. i have a small menu with 3 buttons called pets, family and projects. these are going to be links to seperate movieclips with photos of each. what im wondering is how to have this site just load the initial menu and not load all clips at the same time. it looks like there will be alot of pictures and i dont want a huge load time just to see the main area. if i put all the movieclips on the same layer at different locations using the stop function on each, will it still try to load everything at once? im having trouble understanding this, any help is appreciated.
Need Advice On How To Make A Movie Start On A Particular Frame
Can someone point me to a tutorial or a tip that shows how I can make a movie start on a particular frame? I have a Flash menu that is used on multiple HTML pages but I want it to start on a different frame of the movie depending on which HTML page is loaded in the browser. So if HTML page with topic A is loaded, then topic A is highlighted in the menu. When the user goes to an HTML page on topic B then topic B is highlighted in the menu. Pretty straightforward stuff, I'm sure the solution is riduculously simple or unbelievable difficult but I've seen people do it on other sites.
Currently I have 10 different Flash movies which I have to maintain and its a real pain in the butt.
Thanks,
Eric

Advice On Movie Size Vs Screen Resolution?
Hello, so I've been reading up on what the best resolution/size for a flash based site is. I was looking and hoping for some advice or tips on how other people have solved this problem. Basically from what i've researched that the most popular screen resolution is 800x600. i personally think its kind of small... especially cause i dont really know anyone who has their screen set that way. So i was thinking is it best to design a site in 800x600 and then have set the html script to go fullscreen so it scales up for bigger computers. or split the difference and design at 1000 and let it scale up a little for those at 1200 and scale down a bit for those at 800?
one more simple question. is saying that the populace has there resolution set to 800x600 also saying that they have small screens??? is that dumb
Any tips or advice would be greatly appreciated.

Help Can't Embed My Movie
I’ve been working on this flash flyer. Problem is I can’t get my web browsers to open it. I’m not sure what the problem is I’ve tried several different pieces of code to embed it, but it only shows up as a black square.
Html code (from dreamweaver):
<object classid="clsid27CDB6E-AE6D-11cf-96B8-444553540000" codebase="http://download.macromedia.com/pub/shockwave/cabs/flash/swflash.cab#version=7,0,19,0" width="182" height="330">

I saw the sticky with the javascript for embedding, however this movie is supposed to be posted on a community site with limited script support. I know it supports flash movies (I've tried before). When I have been trying to embed my movie i have been doing it with an html page made with dreamweaver. I was really hoping to do it with html code.
The movie is exported as flash 7, and I’m not getting any error messages from flash. The movie works in flash player and when I test it thru flash.
The movie contains the XSPF Web Music Player: http://musicplayer.sourceforge.net/
I have modified the script and removed some of its elements to suit my needs. This can definitely be the source of my problem. I’m pretty new to flash, and wasn’t completely sure what I was doing. However I tried removing the player and its script and I still couldn’t get it to show up in my browsers.

Making Timelines To Embed In Other Timelines
BACKGROUND:
I am making a 50-frame my_movie.fla with several layers of buttons and graphics already in it. The movie plays manually (by button press). It is, in essence, a state diagram.
The graphics and buttons must be visible and accessible throughout the entire movie. Only one element changes depending upon which frame is current.
Some frames in my_movie will contain level 2 of the state diagram. Some of the level 2 frames will contain level 3, etc. I'm assuming these are all timelines.
QUESTION 1:
Do I make the timelines as (A) individual *.fla files and point to them in Level 1 of my_movie or (B) do I make them as mc symbols and place them in the level 1 frames?
QUESTION 2: If (B), how do I make them - make them on a temporary new layer, make a symbol for each, then blow those frames away?
Any ideas are appreciated.
Advice On Animating Lots Of Small Movie Clips
Hi,
I have a performance problem that may be best demonstrated with an example.
http://www.b3ta.cr3ation.co.uk/data/swf/game1.swf
If you look at the animation and watch it for a while you will see the
number of balls growing.
Initially the performance is so-so but eventually it becomes totally
unacceptable. So I was wondering if anyone could impart advice about any
optimizations.
Every tile is a movie clip and every ball is a movie clip that tweens from
one tile to the next. I also need to read the frame the clips are on but
when I bound a class to the balls clip it immediatly ran unacceptably slow.
I have a plan B which involves creating tile animations of each of the ball
animations, which I know would create a huge performance gain but would mean
creating 510 tile animations and thus make the animations unmaintainable.
TIA

Can I import an swf file into an exising flash file and have it play at a certain frame? I am trying to do this but don't know how to do it...what I did is, import the swf, drag it into an existing symbol, animate the symbol to fade in, but the swf file is not playing...it is just static...any help would be great.

Embed XML Inside Movie
I'm making an mp3 player in flash for use on my myspace account. I'm having lots of trouble with cross domaining, since I don't want to spend out any money for hosting.
I'm using MX 2004, and I was wondering instead of loading the xml file itself to the movie externally, can I embed the code into the movie and set a variable or something so instead of playlist.load("xml file") it calls to the embeded script?
For those unaware of the xml file script itself, it's:
<?xml version="1.0" encoding="UTF-8"?>
<songs>
<song band="band name" name="song title" file="MP3 URL" />
</songs>
and just multiple "<songs>" tags for each mp3 on the playlist.
Thanks!

Embed Movie That Is A Level Up?
Hi,
I have this code that embeds the flash movie, which is in the "main" folder, into other files that are in the main folder. I can't figure out how to modify it to show up in pages that are in the folder "main/main2" though. I tried changing "arrows.swf" to "../arrows.swf" in the 2 places in the code, but that didn't work. Can someone please tell me how to do this?
Thanks, Matt
Code:
<script language="JavaScript" type="text/javascript"><!--
AC_FL_RunContent( 'width','370','height','221','id','arrows','align','middle','src','arrows','quality','high','wmode','transparent','name','arrows','allowscriptaccess','sameDomain','movie','arrows','minVersion','7,0,0,0' );
// --></script><noscript><object classid="clsid:d27cdb6e-ae6d-11cf-96b8-444553540000" codebase="http://fpdownload.macromedia.com/pub/shockwave/cabs/flash/swflash.cab#version=7,0,0,0" width="370" height="221" id="arrows" align="middle">

[F5] Embed Movie From URL With Parameters
Flash 5
Basically I have a Flash movie I want to use on a website. I also have a mp3 player that I am using code from another website. I have the mp3 player working using <embed> tags in html, But I would like to know how to setup my flash movie so that it will setup a this mp3 player movie from another site with the correct parameters. I have been able to get the mp3 player to work, but It was playing music from the default playlist, didn't look correct, and would freeze.
Here is the HTML code that works:
<center><object type="application/x-shockwave-flash" allowScriptAccess="never" allowNetworking="internal" height="155" width="218" align="middle" data="http://www.mp3asset.com/swf/mp3/myflashfetish-mp3-player.swf">
<param name="allowScriptAccess" value="never" />
<param name="allowNetworking" value="internal" />
<param name="movie" value="http://www.mp3asset.com/swf/mp3/myflashfetish-mp3-player.swf" />
<param name="quality" value="high" />
<param name="wmode" value="transparent" />
<param name="flashvars" value="myid=3855126&path=2007/08/14&mycolor=0x000000&mycolor2=0x000000&mycolor3=0xF FFFFF&autoplay=true&rand=0&f=3" />
</object>
When I load the movie, it seems like I am setting up the parameters incorrectly. I have never used paramters before, So I am sure that's what I'm doing. If anyone knows the correct way to set this up, please let me know!
I would post up what code I have used in the past, but I will be away form my computer for a while, and can't find a computer with macromedia to use. sorry!
Thanks for any/all help!

Intro Movie To Site With External Movies - Advice Or Examples Please
Hi all
I have been messing with this for days, and I am looking for some advice.
I have an intro swf and a site swf. The site is pretty messy, so putting the intro movie inside it is not what I want to do. I would like to have a base flash movie load the intro and then the swf. Play the intro movie, and when that is done play the site. I would like to monitor the loading of the intro, and provide the user a button to skip the intro.
Any advice? Any good examples?
I have messed with movieClipLoader and succeeded to load both clips. I have not found a way to determine when the external movie is finished playing. I also am having some wierd problems where the debugger will loop the movie, but the browser play will play the movie correctly.
Thanks in advance
