Been working with graphics packages and now Flash for some time. Up until yesterday, I've been doing my drawings and graphics rendering with a mouse. Yesterday I installed a Wacom Graphire tablet and I'll never use a standard mouse at home again!
If you do work with programs such as Adobe and...
Well, there is a variety of responses here and I'd just like to add mine to the record. I've been working with PCs since the days of PETS and Basic. I find that nothing givese me more control than notepad, or CuteHTML when designing a webpage. Get a good HTML book, like Using HTML 4 from the...
The problem I had was with my FTP software. I had to make sure that, when I uploaded my .swf files to the Net, the FTP software was set up upload in Binary. If anything else, (like ASCII) my .swf file would not run when I tried to access it.
It puzzled me for the longest time, becuase when I...
It happens to me, too. Every now and then everything hangs up and I have to close the program and start it up again. I don't know if it is Flash itself, or a conflict which occurs with MS Windows. In any case, I've learned to save my work after I do any movie...
Mangrove,<br><br>Are you selecting the SYNC option when setting up your soundtrack? If you want the movie frames to keep in time with the music, you need to SYNC the sound file to the movie events.<br><br>That's what I suggest. <p>Judland<br><a...
More frames would probably be easiest, but I learned my computer skills during the days of BASIC and DOS, so I use a variable and a GO TO loop to pause a movie. This way, it is simple to change durations. All I have to do is change one variable number.<br><br>If you want to...
I tried to look at your Flash page, but I got a request for a user name and password.<br><br>Question: Did you also set the "Window" setting, telling Flash where you wanted to open the new URL(parent or blank browser window, etc.)? <p>Judland<br><a...
I started out in the same situation. I saw Flash sites and wanted to learn how to make them myself. I suggest doing what worked for me.<br><br>I bought the book: <b> Flash 4! Creative Web Animation,</b> by Derek Franklin. I learned the basics over a weekend...
You could try the Crosswinds Network at <A HREF="http://www.crosswinds.net " TARGET="_new">http://www.crosswinds.net </A>; They've been going through some growing pains, but the good thing about them is that the space is unlimited and there are no required banner adverts...
Some good web hosting: <A HREF="http://www.youinhere.com" TARGET="_new">http://www.youinhere.com</A><br><br>This company, Black Sun, has some really good rates and useful packages. Their based in Canada, so if you're in the U.S. or the U.K. you'll get some real value for...
My first question for you:<br><br>Does the file nbo.htm exisit in your directory? I cannot even access it by just typing in the URL address. If it does not exist at the URL you specify, then your browser will give you a "Cannot Be Found" error. I'd...
Well, I figured that one out....<br><br>Seems as though my FTP software was not uploading the .swf file in binary format, therefore corrupting the file, which in turn would hang up before loading was complete.<br><br>That's one for the books. <p>Judland<br><a...
I make a Flash animation. I publish it and test it in my browser from my hard drive. Everything looks and plays good.<br><br>I upload it to my webspace, try and look at it on-line, everything seems to load, but my browser refuses to play the animation.<br><br>Why does it...
Gee, I'm sorry to hear you're having so many problems learning Flash.<br>
<br>
I don't know if I can help you. All I can tell you is what I've experienced. I wanted to learn how to program in Flash as you do. I wasn't sure where to even start or how making Flash animation was even done. I...
I agree with you there, Liam.<br>
<br>
That's also how I'm learning Flash. Of course, I could down load a lot of pre-written Flash animations, but why settle for that when I can easily learn it for myself.<br>
<br>
I've helped a few people trouble-shoot their webpages that were written using...
The Benefits:<br>
<br>
The fact that you can create a totally interactive and dynamic website, compatible with any web browser and in manageable file sizes. Best of all, it's simple to use.<br>
<br>
But, that's just my opinion.<br>
<p>Judland<br><a...
Just wondering what the majority prefer....<br>
<br>
When writing your Flash pages, do you prefer to fix the size of the animation window to a number of pixels or rather have it set to a certain percentage of the individual's web browser window? <p>Judland<br><a...
Would Macromedia's Freehand package have anything to do with Matinee's 3D renderings? I haven't used the package myself, but it Macromedia's write-up it does mention 3D layering.<br>
<br>
Metro, you're probably right. The 3D text on Matinee's site does look like something done in Cool3D or...
I'm not a professional HTML programmer, but for the pages I've written, I haven't found anything that beats my QUE programming in HTML 4 book and MS Notepad.<br>
<br>
Recently, however, I started using CuteHTML for the coding, which does make the process easier. It doesn't have the interface...
