Setting Sound Quality For A .exe
Hi,

How do I set the publish sound quality for a .exe. I can change for a .swf obviously. Never needed to this before. The settings panel doesnt exist, it has a default of

I need this at a better quality.

Any ideas?

Thanks

Setting Quality With Action?
Is it possible to set a Flash movie's quality (either JPEG Compression level and/or Flash movie quality (low, high, etc) with an action script in Flash MX?

I have a situation where I'd like the quality to change at different points of the movie, that's why I'm wondering.

Thanks!

Quality Setting Doesn't Appear To 'take'...
I apologize for the cross-post, but I'm new around here and perhaps I posted the original thread in the wrong spot:

http://www.actionscript.org/forums/s....php3?t=192787

Essentially, the problem is that I have images that get resized... and when resized, they look like pixelated trash. I need them to look good.

FLV Playback Quality Setting?
I am putting together Flash UIs done by a designer, and the FLV playback one has a Quality: Low/High setting on it. I have not seen this before, and it isn't part of the FLVPlayback component. What is this? Or is is just the designer's imagination - there is no such thing?

Problem Setting Showmenu To False With Fscommand
Hi all

I have a very strange problem: I have published my projector file using fscommand to take the menu out, the only problem I have now is that the projector file puts a space at the top and bottom of my movie, almost as if it is compensating for the menu being out. Why does the projector not conform to the movie size? If I put the menu back in the space is not there anymore. This problem is driving me nuts.

Thanks

Setting Quality For Individual Items
I have been trying to specify quality for individual movie clips as opposed to the entire flash movie. I tried this code but it still affects everything

TIA

Setting The Quality Of A Specific Movieclip - Can It Be Done?
can you set the quality of a specific movie clip without it effecting the rest of the movie, I have tried:

myMovieClip._highquality=0;

to set a particular movie clip in my site to play at low quality, but it just sets everything to low quality!

can it be done and if so how?

Different Quality Setting For Different Display Object?
Can I set low for some object and high for others? Or is stage.quality the only one that can be changed? My objects are externally loaded swfs..

Detecting Screen Resolution + Setting An If / Else Statement For An Fscommand...
Hi there, I'm not sure if this is possible but what I'm hoping to do is detect if a user's display resolution is less than 1024 x 768 as a flash projector file is launched - then depending on the result I want to select one of the following commands to ensure that no cropping occurs of my final file:

fscommand("allowscale", "false");
fscommand("allowscale", "true");

Hope that makes sense, any help would be much appreciated, thanks!

Setting Medium Quality Usign Actionscript
How do I change the movie quality to medium using actionscript?

Targeting Only Images/layers For Low Quality Setting...
okay... i know i have another post here basically asking the same question... but I am really desperate in getting this effect... (obviously)

somehow, sites like www.bacardidj.com and www.2advanced.com (as well as others) have targeted their images to use the 'low' quality setting, yet all of the other elements are using the 'high' quality. What this does is preserves the crisp lines and pixels of the original image and avoids the smoothing that flash does by default, but also results in nice, antialiased vectors and type.

Now, if (via the menu) you switch down to low quality, all of the type and vectors go to crap, but the images stay pixelized, as expected......... but changing back to 'high' quality, everything, including the images that on load were pixelized, now gets antialiased.

how in the hell are they doing this? every time I try and target the _quality or _highquality to a specific MC (with image in it) or to a layer, it globally changes the setting, resulting in crappy vectors/type.....

i know it's possible, as its clearly demonstrated byall of these sites.... but none are willing to give up the secret......... PLEASE HELP

Setting Variable For Scene Transitions Plz Help
I'm working on Flash 5 now and what I learned in Flash 4 Actionscript no longer works for a scene transition process I would like to implement. What I had in Flash 4 was buttons such as (About, Contact, Products) and on the buttons I would have:

Set Variable: "destination" = "About"
Go to and Play (sTransition, 1)

About would also be the label of my first frame in the AboutUs scene. The Transition scene which plays after clicking the button would have in its last keyframe, actionscript which was gotoandplay description (with the expression option checked).. this would allow me to change just the label on each scene and the destination variable and I would not have to repeat the transition scene for each button.. However in doing this with Flash 5, the GotoandPlay function demands a scene number and the variable doesnt seem to pass on. The code I have for Flash5 is here:

//For the About Button
on (release) {
destination = About;
gotoAndPlay ("Transition", 1);
}

//For the last keyframe on Transition scene(expression
//type chosen)
gotoAndPlay (description);

//labeled the frist frame of scene AboutUs to About

thanks in advance for anyhelp i really appreciate it

Image Quality Lost, Exported At 100% JPEG Quality
I am working on a Flash website for a design group to display their work. These designs needed to be scaled down to fit the format of the website and many of these designs have body copy with small text. In the FLA file they look ok, but when I export the SWF, the text looks really bad.I know JPEG compression isn't very good for text but even when I export at 100% JPEG quality it still ends up looking different. The text looks very "sparkly" with the thins of the letters have been lost. The original assets that they gave me were all in one photoshop file at 150dpi with one design per layer and some of the text were just slightly pixelated if you zoom in (all text were rasterized and flattened into the designs). Some of the same images supposedly from that file had been used on their previous site with no problem. On some of the images in the PSD I can see that some of the thin strokes in the letters had been lost a little from scaling the designs down. This has been really frustrating and I can't think of how to rememdy this problem. Anyone have any suggestions?

-Sorry I did not realize that someone had already asked the smae type of question. I am trying the suggestions from the other thread.

<param Name=quality Value=low> Plays High Quality Flash
I want to adjust some flash content on my site depending on user rights.
The systems shows a slide show with swf/images, if the user is logged in he will also see a list of thumbnails with all flashes that is going to appear in the sideshow. This list is contained within XHTML markup and has nothing to do with the slide show other than containing the individual slides.

It would be nice if I could set the quality for the swf's in the thumbnails to low since 10-20 high res flashes tend to use a lot of CPU. Using <param name=quality value=low /> to achieve this has so fare granted no success.

Things I've tried so far are:

1. Setting <param name="quality" value="low" /> for the individual flashes in the thumbnail list. The flashes are still displayed in high res. Tried using " ' and no hyphens.
2. Sending the flash var _quality=low through the src of the thumbnail list elements. <param name="movie" value="/src/flash/movie.swf?_quality=low" /> with and without hyphens.
3. Googling quality settings for flash which all say to use <param name="quality" value="low" />

Things to point out:
1. I have no control over the swf. These come from all sort of people so I need to be able to adjust the quality via the web page.
2. I've tried different ways of writing the quality strings. value='low' value="low" value=low and so on.
3. The quality settings change if i right click and select quality -> low but they always start at high.
4. The source code writes what I expect it to, the flash simply ignores the values I send it.
5. I'm using a windows based machine with Fire Fox 2 and CS2, the site uses XHTML and my flash player is 9,0,124,0

High Quality To Low Quality Question
I have a loader taking up frames 1 - 3 that I want to remain as high quality and then from there on in frames 4 - 19 I want as low quality.

I have added on frame 1

_quality=high

Where am I going wrong? - Any help would be so so so so welcome

How Do You Get Pdf Fscommand Script Into Fscommand
I'm trying to link to a pdf file. I have viewed others messages about creating a .dat file, but it mentions about making sure this is in the fscommand folder. Please can someone detail how this complete process should be done?

If this wont work on a Mac, then that leaves me with the GetUrl command only. As I want this to be a CD Rom not web page I need to link to the html pages offline (if this is my only option) and I have a projector file, where should these htm files be?

Thank you.

Won't Change Scene...neither With Actionscript,neither From Scene To Scene
I have a big problem...why won't my movie change from my intro to scene one...I built my intro, i built my scene one but it won't skip from one to another. At the begining i had a loop problem on my intro,and it would never go on to the next scene,and now even if i build a new page it won't change to another scene either....HELP PLEASE!!!

[F8] Flash Site, Multiple Scenes, Button Moves Scene To Scene Instead Of Navigating
Hi...I am very new at flash, so forgive my ignorance in advance...I really really need help!

I created a site, separated into scenes (intro, main-home, about, portfolio, press, contact).

About half the time the navigational buttons work fine. However, the other half of the time one of the buttons, the Press button, instead of bringing me to the Press scene, just moves scene to scene (for example, say I'm on the home page and I want to go to the Press page, it just goes to the about page...I hit the button again it goes to the Portfolio page, etc.). I think the problem lies somewhere in bypassing the intro prematurely (you can skip intro and go straight to the site/home-main scene), but I'm not positive.

Here's the code for the Press button:
on (release) {
gotoAndPlay("press", "pressframe");
}

where pressframe is the name of the first frames in the Press scene.

I can upload the fla file to my own site for download and review if necessary....

Please help!....I am losing sleep and hair over this.

Targeting Frame Label In Scene From Movie Clip In Same Scene
Hey Pals,

I'm trying to target a frame label on the timeline of a scene from a movie clip within the same scene, using Flash MX 2004 Pro. The scene is ultimately used as a .swf to load as a page of a website. The frame label is called "miscOn", the scene is called "misc". The below code is attached to a button within the movie clip.

on (release) {
loadMovieNum("tajwebsite_main.swf",1);
gotoAndPlay(miscOn);

}

Thanks!

Simple Gotoandplay - Animate The Scene Out Before Playing Selected Scene?
Hey there again,

Just wondering if you guys could point me in the right direction.
Before, when I made full-flash websites, when I clicked a button I'd have it gotoandplay frame 60 or whatever (or scene 2 or 3 or 4 etc.) and that page would start up there and have a nice little animating intro but it would be a very abrupt start because anything on the previous page would just disappeer jaggedly.

But I've seen a lot of nice sites, that once you press a button, it'll clean up the current scene, say have everything burn out or fade or or something instead of just having the next option just appear, then go to the selected page. Say they clicked News or Contact, and they were on products. It would allow me to have a timeline to animate all the objects out (just a simple tween) then once it reached the end and all the objects were out, it knew which button they pressed and where to gotoandplay.

This is probably easy actionscripting (or not, I have no clue) so it would be greatly appreciated if someone could direct me, thanks!

Scene 2 Works Fine, But When Preloaded Added Scene Will Not Work
I have a website at wosso.com which I needed a preloader. So currently the site works fine. I am toying with a preloaded, but when I add it the main part of the site does not function.

There are two scenes, PRELOADER and SCENE 1. My preloader includes this script in the first frame of the preloader: ifFrameLoaded ("Scene 1", 105){
gotoAndPlay ("Scene 1", 1);
}

I have also inluded this line at the end of the preloader, but also tried it without this line:

gotoAndPlay ("Preload", 1);

I haven't used Flash in some time and I am not good at scripting. It seems to make sense, but why is it not working when SCnene 1 works fine by itself.
Any sulotion/suggestions?

Thanks,

Wayne

Play The Rest Of Current Scene, THEN Gotoandplay Another Pre-determined Scene
Hi,

Im my scene contains 6 buttons, I want button '1' to play the rest of the current scene (for example scene '0' then goto and play scene '1'

I want button '2' to play the rest of the current scene (for example scene '0' then goto and play scene '2'

I want button '3' to play the rest of the current scene (for example scene '0' then goto and play scene '3'

etc....

any ideas? this is for actionscript 3. My current script just makes the button goto a certain frame, can I edit it? here it is:

stop();

thumbbtn1.addEventListener(MouseEvent.MOUSE_DOWN, mouseDownHandler1);
function mouseDownHandler1(event:MouseEvent):void {
gotoAndStop(2);
}
thumbbtn2.addEventListener(MouseEvent.MOUSE_DOWN, mouseDownHandler2);
function mouseDownHandler2(event:MouseEvent):void {
gotoAndStop(3);

any help greatly appreciated.

Button Relase; Play Curent Scene And Go (scene)
I need a bit of help, and its hard to explain. I have a menu that consist of 6 buttons on Scene1. I want to be able to click on a button and play scene1,frame37, then after it finishes playing I want it to move over the designated scene from the button pressed.

//This is what I currently have which makes the button play the ending of the scene.
on (release)
{gotoAndPlay( "scene 1", "fadeout");
}

//I need to finish the actionscrip by going to a different scene after it finishes playing the current scene. This is for all the buttons.

Example:
Button1 needs to play "scene 1", "37" then go to scene 3
Button2 needs to play "scene 1", "37" then go to scene 4
(any button) to Play "scene 1", "37" then go to (scnen asign from button)
and so on.

Any feedback is greatly appreciated.

How To Disable The Intro Sound When Switching From 1 Scene To 2nd Scene

Buttons Aren't Going To Correct Scene, Just Progresses To Next Scene :(
Anyone ever have the problem when your buttons have the code to jump to a specific scene, they just jump to the next scene on your palette instead?

For instance, I've got 6 buttons that I need to operate as a normal HTML site. So I programmed each button to jump to the corresponding scene with...

Code:

on(release) {
gotoAndPlay("fine, frame1");
}
In this situation, that button needs to jump to the scene "fine", but instead, when I click on it, it simply jumps to the next scene in the scene palette (which isn't "fine").

Interestingly as well, once it scrolls through all 6 scenes (by clicking on any button 6 times), it starts over with the first scene again.

Anybody know what I am doing wrong?

Thanks!

Changing Form Preloading Scene Into Main Scene.
hi all,

i've got a problem i can't figure out. i'm working on my website in flash. this is how i will do it:

http://www.auto-i-public.ch/adi/aresthetics.html

now, you see the letters cercling around in the upper left corner. all is well. now i created a preloader (there will be heavy stuff on it...maybe even shockwave files). i chose to do it with a new scene. it's a basic one. bar filling up, a few dynamic texts with the status. this is working too.
but then, when the preloading is done, it jumps into the main scene. everything appears and works. but the circeling letters don't work anymore. they run on a little loop for themselves. it's actually the only loop i have on my mainline. the rest is in mc's. i even tried to put the letters in a mc. didn't work either. it seems as the letters wouldn't initialize anymore. i checked if there are no already set variables coming over from the preloader. negative. i'm out of wisdom. if anyone could help me...i'd send the files, if nothing else helps. it's nothing really to steal.

tnx

Dynamically Setting Labels Or Dynamically Setting Frames To Print
1. Does anyone know if there is a way to dynamically set a frame label. The reason for this is that I want a particular frame to Print with other frames (requiring a frame label of #p) if you answer a question a certian way and not to print with the other frames (needing a different label or no label at all) if the question is answered differently.

2. Option #2 would be to be able to dynamically set which pages print when you call the "PRINT" command (probulary through an expression). Any ideas would be appreciated.

thanks

Click, Clear Stage Scene, THEN New Scene
I think this is a common problem, but I haven't found the common solution. We've discussed this a little on a another thread, but we didn't really come up with a solution.

I know a lot of people want to have a button (well, multiple buttons), that when you click on it, it gotoAndPlay()s a scene that clears the stage, and THEN goes to a new scene (or in my case webpage) based on what button was clicked.

I know the answer has to be some use of variables and actionscript, but I haven't been able to puzzle it out, being new to flash.

Does anyone know the solution, or better yet, have a .fla file with the solution (so we can all see greatness in action)?

Thanks!

Button In Scene 1 Loads A Specific Mc In Scene 2?
Unfortunately my brain isn't really designed for understanding or figuring our ActionScript very well... Here's what I'm trying to do and the problem:

The user arrives at a 'splash screen' in Scene 1 which gives them the option to choose to view the demo in 'interactive' or 'autorun' mode (the two modes are slightly different in terms of their content so I'll have two separate scenes, Scene 2 will contain all the 'interactive' movie clips and Scene 3 will contain all the 'autorun' movie clips). The user can then choose whether they'd like to view the demo with the sound on or off. Once they've made this selection they'll be taken to the opening animation of the mode (i.e. interactive or autorun) they selected, with the sound on or off as they specified.

What ActionScript needs to be applied to the sound on or off buttons in Scene 1 to ensure that the correct sound movie clip loads at the beginning of Scene 2 or Scene 3.

If the user initially decided to view the demo in autorun mode they will be able to change to interactive mode at any time... how can I ensure the sound setting they have selected remains unchanged across Scenes (and they can choose to turn the sound on or off at any time)?

I need to create this as a single SWF - I can have as many Scenes and movie clips as is necessary but cannot use loadMovie and multiple SWF's

If anyone has any ideas I'd love to hear them! I just can't figure it out and I'm getting REALLY desperate!

Thanks!
