Flash :: Entire Site = Same URL

Swf As Entire Site
Two questions in one really. only using flash for about 8weeks and built my whole site with it and embedded the swf in a DW page for the homesite, it's app 4.5mb, ist question does this swf load progressively or does a viewer have to download the whole 4.5mb befor seeing anything?
2nd question, where are the rest of Lees tutorials please, I stumbled on a listing of them but was simply directed to his current listing on gotoandlearn.com

Best Way To Build An Entire Site?
What "exactly" would be the best way to build an entire site? Went to tutorials but they were a little vague.

Should I have each page be it's own .swf or what? And how about all the hyperlinks to & back from the other .swf's ??? ie. home page to products and then back to home page?

Bigtime nooB question I know but....Any help would be greatly appreciated..

Thx for your time

Entire Site In Flash
Hi everyone,

I have a question which I hope I don't just confuse everyone since I am fairly new at this.

I am building a website for a band. Now, I want the site to be flash entirely. So, the site loads and say you have a menu to your right (ie...news, interviews, reviews etc...) with main content in the center, with maybe some simple looping animated logo at the top or something.

Now say if you click on "News" how do you have the news part of the site, which naturally would be in flash, load where the mian content goes, while you still would have your menu on the right, and animated logo still on the top remaining where they are?

I don't want to use frames as in creating frames in the html code. I just want the entire site to be inside this one flash window? I hope I am not confusing everyone.

Thanks

Dragging The Entire Swf In A Site

Preloader Stops Entire Site
Hi

I've now finished a site and uploaded it to the web, but found that on a normal modem it could do with a preloader, so i stuck one in the first two frames of my timeline as i usually do.

For some reason the site won't load at all now. It says its loading but it even if u sit there for 15 mins it still won't load. The site isn't very big and i had it all working before i added the preloader.

Has anyone come across this and does anyone know what i've done wrong.

Heres the site in question..... as i said, it just doesn't load at all now.

Playing Music Throughout Entire Site..
I'm working on a flash site for a school final right now. I have music that plays when the site loads, but whenever I change pages with getURL, the movie changes and the music stops. I was wondering if there was another way I could go about changing pages. A way that would have the music continue to play, even when pages are changed.

My past attempts at getting a sound file to play throughout my entire site have failed.. I'm wondering if I can run a flash movie inside of another movie.
I was thinking of a setup kinda like this:

<shell flash movie with sound file>
<website flash movie></website flash movie>
</shell movie with sound file>

And have controls within the website flash movie to mute/unmute the sound for users that don't want sound.

Playing Sound Throughout Entire Site
Hello all,
Please have a look at my site to get a better idea of the problem. http://www.loudmouthimaging.com

In the lower right of the main screen click the button that looks like a play button, once the "song" has loaded click to go to any other frame in the movie (i.e. "Demos" button).... the song stops.

I would like to have the song play the entire time while you are surfing around the site. The code on the play button is below:

on (release) {
stopAllSounds();
mySound = new Sound();
mySound.loadSound("intro80kbps.mp3",true);
mySound.start();
}

I hope you can please help me out, i am a beginner at this! If you would like the .fla file it's here: http://www.loudmouthimaging.com/stuff/index.fla

if anyone wants to get real *****ious and build a preloader/loading status bar for the songs that would be HUGE!!!! I have lots of sound effects/music beds if anyone wants em. thanks guys

Load Bar Â€“ Entire Site On 2nd Frame?
I constructed a preloader with two frames only. The load bar graphic on the first frame and my entire site on the second frame. This is how I was instructed to do it: Loading on frame 1, content on frame 2.)

I converted the site into a SWF and tried to import on the 2nd frame only - but it imports to the site as hundreds of frames. So then I tried dropping the SWF in a UILoader (on the 2nd frame) and defined the source in the parameters tab. I got nothing and It goes to a blank screen. (I have all files in the same folder.) How do you properly put your whole site into the second frame?

Forgive me if the answer has been staring in my face but I'm one of those designers trying to code..

Consistent Swf Display Through Entire Site?
Hi all,

This is probably a topic that has been covered already, probably too many times, but I've been searching for a post on this and have had no luck. Anyway, here is my question.

I am trying to develop a banner for an event planner, she wants me to take the pictures she gave me to put into a Flash gallery (autoplay) but as a banner.
How do I make it so that the transition between my html pages does not reload the swf on every page. I need to keep it html or I would do a complete flash site.

Maybe there is a way to load html into a flash page (publish flash and load html into the published flash html)?

Any response is appreciated! Thanks.

Entire Site In Flash- Load Help Please
Ok, Here is my problem, I am creating my entire site in flash, I have it mostly done, but I need to change some things, for one, the basic layout is the same in every page, so is there a way to load a new movie ino an already made movie, and in the one I already have made, the button that is active, is a different color, (here is the site I have done already, Flash Test Site )

I think it would go to the different pages much quicker if I was not loading an entire new movie, I am using the

on (release) {
loadMovieNum("portfolio.swf", 0);
}

code right now to load the individual movies into the one HTML page.

Also, If you are able to.... the Quote page has a form, the form is working, however, in two fields, it has this inserted into it --- _level0.email and _level0.domainname - how can I make it where those fields are empty?

Thankyou so much for your help, and if there are any other suggestions, please let me know.

Bizarre, ...Entire Flash Site Broken
I added a button last night to my increasingly complex Flash site last night and Pre-viewed and all was fine. Then once I published it to the web it completely flaked out.

What I mean is that, once published half the buttons in my movie (regardless of where or when they occur) send you back to frame one of the movie (which is my preloader) and stops you there. Thus effectively completely dismantling my site. I can not imagine what kind of change would have made such a site wide bug occur.

Any ideas.

Entire Site In Flash: Several Scenes Or One Movie?
hola!

just wanted to get opinions... if i'm doing a site entirely within flash (with 8 main categories & 4-8 sub-categories per), what are the pro's and con's of doing the movie as one giant timeline all in one main scene (intro included) vs. splitting the movie up into separate scenes (one scene per category)?

OR... should i have the intro as one scene and then the rest of the site as another scene? also, which way would be best for getting the rest of the site to be downloading while the intro is playing?

thanks!!!

Can I Build My Entire Site In Flash? — Newbie
hello,

I would like to build an all or mostly Flash site. I would like to have navigation that directs flash movies and graphics to appear in to boxes within the same page. So, first of all, is this possible? If it is, then is it easy to do in Flash MX?
I am stumped as to how I would get animations with different timelines to appear within the same page.

Thanks for any advice!

Entire Site Content Loading From One Txt File?
Hey,

Ive been looking into whether or not, it is possible to load the entirety of site content dynamically from a text file. I know, how to specifically choose and reference from one txt file to a dynamic text block. But, is there a way to have one huge file? That is to say, can I target certain things within a txt file?

Any help would be appreciated greatly.

Linking Entire Swf To A URL
Is there a way to link a URL to am entire .swf? I want to link a URL to a completed movie, to be able to click anywhere and at any time during playback.

Scaling An Entire .FLA
So, here's the problem:

I'm working on a project with multiple layers, many frames, many library items, etc. I started out with a size of 800 X 600 for the stage. Now that I've got a lot of it done, I'm thinking an overall size of 1024 X 768 would be better. Problem is, resizing all of my movie clips, pics, buttons, text, etc. is pretty easy... making everything line up as it did before is not. Is there a way to do this, or maybe a tool that can be used to do this?

I'd appreciate any help at all very much.

Thanks.
Chris

How To Use A Loader For The Entire App?
Hi guys,

I've figured out how to use a Loader to load external components into my flash cs3 app, but nevertheless my swf file is still way too large (3.5 Mb)

Therefore I'd like to create a progress bar that indicates the remaining time for my entire website (www.siebebosch.nl) to be loaded, but I have not a clue how to do this. I mean: you cannot apply a Loader onto the same SWF it is actually in, can you?

Can anyone give me a hint?

Thanks!
Siebe

Resize Entire FLA?
...if I select all the layers on the main timeline, and resize, It only affects the keyframes where the slider is. How can I resize EVERYTHING in one move.

also, is there a numeric resize, like "Image Size" in PS.

Exporting Entire
I have the same question as in
this message which is:
Hi,
Does anyone know how to export all the elements in the library of a flash file?

i.e. Get all of the jpg's in the library into individual files?

I was thinking something like using shared libraries- but didn't get very far.

I have to be able to get out huge amount of media from flash libraries, but it is extremely time comsuming to click export as image, then name the etc.

Even if there isn't a specifc way, does anyone know any shortcuts or tips on doing it faster? Or even is there any api's availble with Flash Remoting or anything like that?

The original message from the other author has clarification of what's needed.

It's not a commercial job, and I could really do with some help - a friend made an interactive wedding invite, saved it, and found it was 8Mb, because all the scanned pictures and MASSIVE! The buttons are only 150x300 for example, but the imported image is something daft like 1800x1600!

I said I did Flash a few years ago, so I downloaded the CS3 trial, he sent me the .fla file (all 20Mb of it!), and promptly went on pre-wedding holiday, and now I've found what the problem is I don't have the assets to resize and then relink!

Any help would be really appreciated - this apparently will do as my wedding present to them, so you'll be saving me from shopping hell too!

Going Through Entire XML Structure
Hi guys,

I made the following function to recurse through an XML file:

private function parseMenuData(menuData:XML):void{

for each(var menuItem:XML in menuData.elements()){

trace("-----------------------------------------------------------");
trace("Menuitem " + menuItem.@name + "has " + menuItem.children().length() + " children.");

if(menuItem.children().length() > 0){

parseMenuData(menuItem);

}else{
trace("No children here");
}

}
}

No where I am getting stuck is how to store the structure. So if menuItem.children().length() > 0 then I know that node has children. If my structure was only one level, it'd be easy to go through the whole list and store it into an array. I am sure I can use a multi-dimensional array but not sure how to load it all in there since I don't know how many levels deep the XML file is I am loading....

Does that make sense? Any pointers? I'm not asking someone to write code for me but just make help point me in the right direction that I need to go for my own code...

Thanks!

Why Won't The Entire Txt Doc Show Up?
I have a .txt file that is loaded into my flash file, but for some reason, it only will display the first 300 or so characters and then it won't display anymore.

I'm not sure what is the problem. Is it my scrollbar or the mask that I have over the mc?

I've already checked the properties of the .txt box and it looked fine.. I'm not sure what's wrong..

The Entire Array...
Hi everyone. Sorry if this is a noob question. I took a looong hiatus from Flash and now I find my memory to be fuzzy. This is a question regarding arrays.

Let's say I have an array like...

var soda:Array = ["coke","mountain dew","pepsi"]

Now later on I want to target that array with an if statement. For example...

if (input.text == soda[0]) {
output.text = "Soda isn't very good for you...";
}

This of course will mean if the input.text is "coke" the cautionary output.text will follow.

However I'd like to make it so where if input.text is ANYTHING in the array the following output.text will follow. I've tried using soda, soda[] and soda[i]. I just can't seem to remember what to do in this situation. Any assistance would be greatly appreciated.

Scrolling Through An Entire Movie
I want to be able to have a scroll bar at the bottom of a movie that will allow me to click and drag the movie and in turn move to the corresponding location with the number of frames in the movie determing where to go...

I know that there are lots of text scrollers out there - but simply want to move through an entire movie.

Any suggestions?

Cheers,

Fading In/out Entire Scenes.
Hey people.

I've searched for threads with directly relating topics but I couldn't find any, some came close and some didn't work. I simply want to know how I can fade an entire scene with multiple layers out to introduce a new scene with a new style of website. I get the idea that you fade one swf out and one swf in, but how do you fade them? I can't seem to reduce the alpha for everything, the background for example wont fade. I want to fade it completely into black or white... Any suggestions? Thanks.

Best regards,

KD.

Scaling An Entire Movie...
Problem: I designed my movie at 800x600. I have large elements that are being tweened large to small and also changing alpha setting. I want to scale the movie down to a 640x480 movie established resolution to increase performance and to minimize the size of the browser window needed (I'm new to flash and I didn't know better... /grin)...

Question: What can I do? Here's a link, you may have other suggestions for this movie (also note that this file is incomplete).
