    Newbie Virgin! Help me post my first website???

    Here's the problem; if you've never done it before, how do you know what info to put where? I tried and I keep getting error info without specifics. Darn manuals are written as if one already understands how to do the function in question. If I knew how to do it, I wouldn't need the manual...

    No longer a newbie virgin; wanna check out my brand new site?

    thanks for all the feedback! I wasn't sure what the reception would be, since I was shooting for a site with standard navigation but not a standard look. I've been told that the animation gets 'chuggy' in places; I knew that, but figured that it was the style that counted, not necessarily the...

    With the help of the generous and patient Virt2001 (thanks Carl!), my site is finally posted! Yea!!!! Will you guys do a sitecheck and tell me what you think? I'm so excited!!! But there is one glitch I don't quite know how to fix: On the contact page, when you click on the email link, it...

    Newbie Virgin! Help me post my first website???

    I have built the website in Dreamweaver, just about ready to be posted. But I've never actually posted a site to the web before, so this will be the first time for me. This seems like it should be easy, but I'm not sure where to start this process. I have registered the site name with...

    e-mail link thru Flash?

    (Note: I am an extreme newbie to Dreamweaver, so please be patient with me!) :) I am designing my website pages in Flash, then importing them into Dreamweaver. I have an animated contact page, where I want people to be able to click on a 'contact' button and send me an email. Because I don't...

    Lots of stuff

    Jealous is right on about the gradient transparency solution. Inside the color mixer, just create the gradient you want, choose the color you want transparent, and adjust the alpha slider on the right. Just wanted to add on the Photoshop transparency, be careful about what backround color you...

    Can I insert a move clip into the button "down" state?

    Yes, you CAN put a movie clip in the 'down' slot inside the button symbol, but the clip will only play as long as the button is held down. Which means that it will only play for a split second in most cases, and revert to the 'up' condition as soon as the button is let go. If that's what you...

    How to add preloader to existing .swf?

    Thanks, oldtemp. Is there an address I could just mail you the files directly? Though I have the permission of the original owners to show these assets, I'm not comfortable posting them publicly just yet for security reasons. I wanna be careful at this stage until my site is officially posted...

    How to add preloader to existing .swf?

    Again, dunno if this is a terminology problem, but based on my experience, if you import an .swf into an .fla, the sound drops out. All my .swf's have sound, so this is not an option. I think the answer has to do with a "load movie" command, but I've never built a preloader to load a...

    INSTANCES CONCEPT

    If I could throw in my two-cents... If you are a new user to Flash, then forgive me for going over some basics in order to make sense of this. One you have created a symbol (any symbol: graphic, button, or MC), you drag it onto the stage. What you have is a copy of that symbol onstage, an...

    Jumpy Looping.....

    Virt2001 has a good idea, but if you want to have the waves continue to travel in the same direction from beginning to end, what you have to do is tween it so that the last frame is the same as the first frame, so when the loop starts over again, you don't see any jumps. I'm guessing that...

    How to add preloader to existing .swf?

    Just wanted to bring this back to the top again, as I really need to solve this problem ASAP! Please, O gurus of Flash, help this poor animator! Or point me to someone who might know the answer! Thanx! Boomph

    Helpa Me...problem w/ design + animation...

    I guess I'm not clear what you intend to do. Some of your terminology is not familiar to me. I'm guessing these are programming terms, not Flash jargon, so I think something's being lost in translation. Let's bring the problem down to basics... If I were someone who knew nothing about...

    Helpa Me...problem w/ design + animation...

    I am a Flash animator, but not a programmer. If I understand your problem, you are making this far more difficult for yourself than is necessary. When I design interactive animations, the best thing to do is build them as movie clips activated with a 'tell target command'. Inside the movie...

    How to add preloader to existing .swf?

    I have some .swf movies I want to post on my website, but they don't have a preloader and I don't have the original .fla's to work from. I've built preloaders before, but usually as part of the original movie. How do you build a preloader for a separate movie without disturbing the original...

    If anyone would know, it would be you guys...

    Not exactly a tech question, but I am a professional flash animator who has recently turned freelance and could use a little info from your community. So far, a lot work has been coming in by word-of-mouth, but that can be sporadic at times. I've tried contacting a couple agencies, but they...

    Lines are invisible when dragged!

    When I draw lines, they are invisible until I let go of the mouse button. Also, when I tug an existing line to curve it, it's also invisible until I let go. Really hard to draw when I cant see what I'm doing until after the fact; I have to guess what it's going to look like. I installed flash...
