Please Help Me - Blank Screens In Flash 5
Hey folks
I’ve just started learning Flash 5 (yes, why aren’t I using Flash MX) and I have run into a major problem. When I open up previously created files, the stage comes up as blank. I've checked that the work area and timeline is on, I’ve also reloaded Flash on my machine - but the screen still comes up blank.
Can anyone out there help me - it would be greatly appreciated.

Flash Error Because Of Screens
hi, basically my problem is that when i try to open a file which i think was origionally made in flash 8 but then later downgraded into flash mx 2004, it says that i cant open the file in this version of flash because of screens, does anybody know what these 'screens' are or how i can fix it and open the file in flash mx 2004?
p.s. i do know the person who made the file, and he has the flash 8 file aswell as the mx 2004 file, so anything he could do to make me be able to open it either?
I Want To Have A Flash Application Go Across Two Screens.
I want to have a Flash application go accross two screens.
I have a dual screen monitor card.
I want to have the application be full screen on BOTH monitors.
How can I do this in Flash?
Is it possible?
Or is it at least possible to have two full screen aplications running on both monitors?
(At the moment, a full screen application will launch in the default or primary monitor.)
AND IF so, is it possible to get both applications to talk to each other?
I need one controlling the other.
Otherwise, is it possible to do in Director?
Any help would be appreciated.
Thanks.

Flash - On Plasma Screens
Hi, I'd like to ask for some advice on setting up your flash movie to be shown on a 10" plasma screen? I've read that at a 16:9 ratio the movie canvas size should be 800x450 and allow it to scale naturally but elsewhere I've read that on higher res screens? it can be 1300x....?
thanks in advance
Flash Screens Or Slides (use Or Not)
I've never used screens/slides. I have a big 200 screen project that is mainly just that, 200 screens with some simple animation or interactivity on some of the screens. The only other navigation would be forward/back, main menu.
Is there a reason no one uses this feature? It seems like a great thing for this type of project, or any project that is basically just navigation between screens with their own timeline.
Normally I would set up labels in a root timeline for all my screens, but why bother if this screen feature is built-in?
Any one else contemplate this?
Thanks.
Working With Screens In Flash 2004 Pro
I'm working on a mini-site using screens in Flash 2004 Pro.
On each screen I have a little "intro" movie playing whenever the screen is revealed.
For some reason, the movies within each screen play even if the screen is not visible, so when I click on the link (which reveals the the particular screen) the movie had already played and stopped.
Is there a way to tell Flash to wait till the particular screen is revealed to start playing the movies within that screen?
Thanks in advance.

Stop Animation On Flash Pro Screens
I'm doing a Web site using screens (Flash 2004 Pro) where each slide has a little animation which should play only when the screen is revealed. Unfortunately, all the animations play although their corresponding screens are not revealed, so when I click on the link to a screen, the animation has half-played already.
One of the memberes suggested that I use script like this:
---------------------------------------------
_listener = new Object();
_listener.reveal = function(e){
_mc.play();
}
_listener.hide = function(e){
_mc.gotoAndStop(1);
}
_screen.addEventListener("reveal", _listener);
_screen.addEventListener("hide", _listener);
----------------------------------------------
Since I'm a beginner at AS I don't know where exactly to put it (tried everyting. The other thing, is "_screen" the name of my corrspondent screen, and should "_listener" be replaced with something else, or should it leave it alone?
If someone can help, I'd appreciate it,
thanks

Flash & XML Login Screens What R They Loading?
Hello,

Sometimes when I visit a flash site when the preloader is doing its thing I sometimes see "xml loading" what exactly is xml loading into the site is it text???
If so why use xml when you can use the load vars method or do they put it there to look cool for the geeks

Flash On Multiple Monitor / Screens
Hi,
I have this problem:
I'm suppose to make a presentation in flash, in two languages. As the first language is displayed on one screen of the computer, the other is supposed to be running exactly at the same time on the other screen. Is there a way to do that with only one flash movie?
(in fact I'm supposed to be using 3 screens).
Thank you.
Extending Mx.screens.Form In Flash 8
Hello,
I'm creating a Flash 8 forms application, and am having great difficulty in linking each form to an .as file extending the mx.screens.Form class. When I place the class name in the "Class Name" property of a form, I usually get the following error:
**Error** W:flashlibraryHelloWorldForm.as: Line 1: The name of this class, 'HelloWorldForm', conflicts with the name of another class that was loaded, 'HelloWorldForm'.
class HelloWorldForm extends mx.screens.Form
where HelloWorldForm.as contains the class that extends mx.screens.Form. In the above example, my .fla is contained within W:flash and HelloWordForm.as is contained within W:flashlibrary. I have included W:flashlibrary into my per fla classpath. More specifically, the following are my per fla classpath settings:
./library
$(LocalData)/Screen Types/Form
and my global classpath settings are:
.
($LocalData)/Classes
The contents of HelloWorldForm.as are as follows:
class HelloWorldForm extends mx.screens.Form
{
function HelloWorldForm()
{
trace('hello world');
}
}
What am I doing wrong? I do not have another file named HelloWorldForm.as, so I do not understand the error. Note that while most of the time I get the error mentioned above, sometimes I do not. When I do not get the error, I do nothing different.
Please help, thanks,

Flash Movie Stretching Over Three Screens
Hi
I'm trying to create a flash movie that should stretch over three screens, set up next to each other. with text scrolling from left to right through the screens and separate animations going on on each screen.
The middle screen holds the navigation, and the mouse shouldn't be allowed to pass out of the dimension of the middle screen. The mouse controls actions that happen on the outside screens.
Any ideas how best to set this up? I thought it's probably best to set up everything in one document the width of the three screens added together. But I haven't figured out yet how to tell the movie to stretch over the screens in full screen mode...
I'm grateful for any ideas :-)

Flash 8 - Zero Point For X, Y Changes In Slide Screens
When I begin building a slide presentation in Flash 8, the x and y zero point for the stage is at the top left where I would expect it to be. So I place a few things on the stage, add a slide or two and suddenly the zero point is in the center of the stage. I am not sure when exactly it happens or why. How do I stop this from happening? How do I correct or set the point back to the top left?

My Flash Site Doesn't Fit Screens.
I'm doing a full flash site. And I still don't get what resolution to put the flash file too.
I want my site to work on a 17" (1024x768) screen... And a 30" (Over 2000x2000) Screen.
I am not bothered about anyone at (800x600).
Anyway I put my flash stage size at (1024x768) and when I came to preview in the browser anything at the top and bottom/and sides of the site were cut off. This I believe is because although my resolution is (1024x768) the internet explorer takes up some of this space for tool bars e.t.c.
Anyway I am stuck as to what to do. I tried using the scale in the flash properties in Flash CS3 BUT my site comes out all crap and I want it fixed.
I want my site like this one : http://www.jamesmartinchef.co.uk/pcc.as ... =&lang=eng
Which works good on any resolution. And the top isn't cut off and even has a scroll bar which I also want.
Here is what I get on my site set at (1024x768) :
Basically I want my site like the James Martin Site where I can put the crap at the top of the page and won't be cut off and I don't have to crop/scale...
I looked at Lees fullsite flash and it hasn't helped. Also people tell me different things i.e.. I need to set size of stage to (1500x1500) or I need Action Script to centre flash or Actionscript to add listener e.t.c. I am not that good with codding. But please someone help me I just asking for a site that fits :O my msn/email is swat.josh@gmail.com and my xfire is so19josh...

How To Link Via XML Between Screens In A Flash Form App
Hi you guys,
I am trying to make a link via XML. When you push the link, the link has to lead you to a certain page within the flash form application. I found some codes on the net, but they are all used to make hyperlinks. So I thought maybe I can start from an XML Menu code and work my way from there, but now I am stuck.
The links are there, but I can't get them to link to another (nested) screen... :( And I can't make them underline neither.
I hope you folks can help me...
thanx in advance, Dfizzle
Here's the code
Code:
GenerateMenu = function(container, name, x, y, depth, node_xml) {
var curr_node;
var curr_item;
var curr_menu = container.createEmptyMovieClip(name, depth);
for (var i=0; i<node_xml.childNodes.length; i++) {
curr_item = curr_menu.attachMovie("link_item2","item"+i+"_mc", i);
curr_item._x = 245;
curr_item._y = 155 + i*curr_item._height;
curr_item.trackAsMenu = true;
curr_node = node_xml.childNodes[i];
curr_item.action = curr_node.attributes.action;
curr_item.variables = curr_node.attributes.variables;
curr_item.name.text = curr_node.attributes.name;
curr_item.begeleider.text = curr_node.attributes.begeleider;
curr_item.onRelease = function(){
Actions[this.action](this.variables);
};
}
};
Createmainmenu = function(x, y, depth, menu_xml){
GenerateMenu(this, "mainmenu_mc", x, y, depth, menu_xml.firstChild);
};
Actions = Object();
Actions.gotoURL = function(urlVar){
getURL(urlVar, "_blank");
};
Actions.message = function(msg){
this.wekles_inhoud.setVisible(true);
this.wekles_inhoud.inhoud_txt.text = msg;
};
menu_xml = new XML();
menu_xml.ignoreWhite = true;
menu_xml.onLoad = function(ok){
if (ok){
Createmainmenu(10, 10, 0, this);
inhoud_txt.text = "message area";
}else{
inhoud_txt.text = "error: XML not successfully loaded";
}
};
menu_xml.load("data/wekelijkseles.xml");
And the XML
Code:

Reloading Screens Pblm In Flash MX Pro 2004
Hi,
If someone knows about this trick ... it could make my day !
I try to use the new screen animation system to build a guided tour ...
Well ...
First of all, I need to do a quick intro with 3 or 4 screens playing one after the other.
In each screen I've got an animation about 150 frames long at 30fps.
I link every screen with a "gotoNextScreen()" command and use build-in transition classes ...
My problems are the following :
- When the animation goes to the next screen, the first images of the preceeding screen are replaying, not all but some frames because I used a "stop" after the "gotoNextScreen();" ... I go mad about it, I tried almost everything like leaving blank frames at the beginning of each screen .... arrrrrggghhhh !
Does the transition manager go faster than the ActionScript commands or what ????
An other little trick ... The animation on the first screen look like beeing on top of the following screens looking transparent ... What the f**** ???
The mighty file is attached and by the way, the text on it is in French ... not the AS ...
Thanks in advance for any help....
Have a nice day !

Flash Movie Across Multiple Plasma Screens?
I have to create a Flash movie to be displayed across 6 plasma screens at a trade show. The hope is that I can do this and have the various info shown on the monitors to be synched so that I could display a word on each screen to make a phrase, etc.
Is it possible to have a Flash movie display across several monitors?? I have tried and can only display it on 1 monitor with the other monitor being black.
If I can't do this, I think I then have to create 6 seperate Flash movies :-( which would be hard to synch.
Anyone have any ideas??
I am using a PowerMac running OS X 10.3. I think the computer that will be displaying the movie on the plasma screens will also be a Mac.
Thanks in advance for your help!!!

No Resize/scaling A Movie Clip On The Scaling Stage...
I know this has probably been answered here already, but I've search through all the threads with "scaling" and "resizing" and can't find the solution.
Basically I have a GUI element on a gallery that I don't want to scale, while the rest of the page is free to resize/scale.
I think I need to add a listener of some sort to the stage, but I'm not sure how to do this. If you can point me to a thread where this has already been answered, great! Otherwise I would be grateful for any help you could provide here.

[9-slice Scaling] Not Scaling At Correct Size ?
Hi people,
I found something strange with the 9-slice scaling option.
My MC with that option is simply smaller than the one without it !
You can see an example here (fla in attachement).
with the simple code on the green button :
Code:
on (release) {
_root.i += 10;
this.scroller._height = _root.i; // the left one with 9ss
this.bar._height = _root.i; // the right one without 9ss
}
Does someone have any explanation ?
thanks
Scaling Cursor/Scaling Draggable
Hello.
I am trying to create a draggable movie that will scale depending on it's _x and _y coordinates.
Basically, when the movie is on the lower part of the screen it will be larger than when it's on the top part of the screen.
I would like the scaling to be smooth. I can say, "if this clip is above 100, then reduce by 10%", but it looks poor.
Does anyone have a nicer way to achieve this draggable scaling?
Thanks.
Scaling/preloader..scaling To A Certain Size..
Hi gang...ok...I have a percentage preloader using getBytes.....and I have a preloader bar that increases dependant on the percentage of bytesloaded...what I want is to have the preloader bar scale so that when the percentage reaches 100% the loader bar will be a certain width.
Here is my code so far....please help me edit my exixsting code..and NOT start just re-write the whole thing..I am trying to learn..and incorporate.
Code:
//In Frame 1 I have this:
total = this.getBytesTotal();
//In frame 2 I have this:
_root.growbar._xscale = percent;
loaded = this.getBytesLoaded();
percent = Math.round((loaded/total)*100);
displayPercent = "LOADING: "+percent+"%";
if (percent == 100) {
gotoAndPlay (4);
}
//In frame 3 I have this:
gotoAndPlay (2);
//In frame 4 I have this:
gotoAndPlay ("start");
I made an MC with the name of "growbar" on the stage....
I cant figure ot what I am overlooking...

Scaling Shapes Without Scaling Strokes
Hello, I am a new Flash user. I am creating a simple animation to be used in an educational video. I created a graphic symbol which I have tweened in many instances to fade in/out and to grow in size. This is a simple circle without a fill, starting out with a solid 5 pixel stroke. How can I grow this symbol (it ends up at least 4 times larger than its original size) without growing the stroke as well?
Scaling Vs. Non Scaling Of Loaded Clips
Hi there,
I am trying to achieve the loadmovie whereby my container flash movie (main.swf) is 100%x and 100%y scaled in the browser...ie so it's size is dynamic to the browser size (This is fine...know how to do)
But want to load the internal clip at exact dimensions - ie I guess a loadmovie in a target clip or level? with exact x and y size dimensions that always centres in the container flash clip. ie. its size is constant no matter the browser size.
Look at this site for reference.... http://www.beachblanket.co.uk/
Thank you for your help!

Full Scaling Site + Scaling MC's
I have been trying to figure out how to do this, because I think it looks fantastic. I know that there are a number of things you add to the stage in order to get it to sit aligned right in the middle. I have even manged to ease the stage movements so that when you maximise and minimise by adding friction and acceleration, the movement is smoother and cleaner.
It looks like whatever is loaded into the MC expands and contracts the parent MC, with a border. The movement is seamless and I was wondering if anyone knows how to achieve the same effect.
I have gotten pretty far with it too, but I am momentarily clueless as to this part.

Flash Scaling
After looking at the featured site on the front page, Septime, I have a question concerning scaling flash movies. The flash file is specified to scale to 100% width and height in the html. When you move your browsers size around it scales nicely, but my question is the main content on the website, it does not scale in conjunction with the background. Every time I have tried to do this I can not get my content to stay the same size. How do you get something inside of a flash file to not scale when you have the flash file set to scale to a web page? I hope this wasn’t confusing. Any help would be greatly appreciated. Thanks
Here is the link to the site

Flash Scaling
My question is regarding this gallery that I put together:
http://moparch.com/moparch/architecture/ds.html
My goal is to make it so the image scales with the size of the browser window. Right now the image only scales as the page shrinks horizontally. When the page shrinks vertically the image does not change size.
The page is made up of two flash movies, one for the images and one for the text and arrows. In dreamweaver I have set the image flash movie (the one on the left) to scale to 100% width and 100% height. I have set the text movie to be a fixed size.
If anyone could explain how to get my image movie to scale as the browser window shrinks both horizontally and vertically I would greatly appreciate it.
thanks
