Hi , Well, I was able to make this work once on a test CD, then I redid a few things in the main movie and created a stub projector and now, for what ever reason, when I click on the button that used to pull up a pdf...it says it can't find the file. I placed the pdf in question, on the same...

The three QuickTime movies that are on the CD are really huge...wouldn't preloading them slow down the play back of the movies when they are called? Just curious, I've heard that streamming is better when playing back very large files. I had a similar issue with another CD created with Flash...

Hi guys, I have had this issue occur on other CDs created with programs other than Director MX. It happens sometimes when I pop in a CD that I created in Flash MX. On the Flash CD, the audio SOMETIMES echos, sticks, or shutters sort of like the person narrating the CD is talking through a big...

Thanks so much for your help. I was confused about that. It works fine now. You rock!

Hi, I know MANY people ask "How can I open a PDF in Director?", and just about everyone in the forums suggest BuddyAPI or Impressario. My client is cheap, and didn't pay me enough to purchase either of these programs, so they get the Adobe Reader 5.0 on their CD. I've read that to get this to...

Hi, I'm a newbie to Director...In fact, this is my very first project in Director. I started this project in Flash MX, which I'm fairly proficient in...This project is a CD that uses video extensively. I knew that Flash wouldn't be able to handle the video, but my employer wanted to try it...

Can I email you a zip file? I'm not sure how to post the fla here. Thanks for your help

Thanks for replying... I tried your suggestion, but it still will not work properly. I'm getting the same results. I removed my "fade in code" image1_mc.onLoad = function() { image1_mc.steps = 10; image1_mc._alpha += 100/this.steps; }; stop(); and replaced it with yours...

Hi, I'm using an attached movie clip, as a host clip for dynamically loaded jpgs. I would like to add an effect to this attached movie clip. I want the host clip to "fade in"...but I'm having some trouble figuring out the proper syntax. I've had success getting the jpg to load...

Nope.... The background is black on the root level...so, that's not it. I checked that first.

I have noticed something odd that I haven't seen before, when I play my SWF in the flash player. When the player begins, a white screen appears before the swf starts playing...it appears for about 1 second..and then the movie starts. My SWF is mostly dynamic (dynamic menu system, external...

The issue has been solved. I realized that the number of frames needed for the embedded video was lower than what I had allowed for...so, the video was looping before it came to the action that refered back to the root level...It works well now, and transitions smoothly. Thanks, Jenny

I'm working on a CD project. Our client has filmed a lengthy "message from the president" to be included.. that is 47M (way to big). I've cut it up into 11 sections that are close to 3M in size (the maximum size for smooth play back in Flash MX), using iMovie and exported the...

Please disregard the previous post...Thank you for reading it. Jenny

This is going to sound like a LAME question...And personally, I really don't care at this point. I can't figure it out, and I really need your help. So, if you can help me, please be descriptive. And I will get back to the forum's postings on Monday...Thank you for any help you can...

Hi, I haven't had this problem in the past, because I used to use one SWF file, and when the scene would change, I would add another instance of the movie clip containing the buttons and apply new actionScript to them...I'm a touch wiser now, and have learned to use multipule external swfs to...

Problem solved! This is SO embarrassing! But, its worth posting so people will double and tripple check the instance names in their movies. The Movie clip I was trying to target was called interface_mc Not interfaceground_mc . interfaceground_mc was what its name in the library...

I have moved the button in queston, to the main level in an effort to target the proper path. I have told the button on in the Main level to target the host mc (center_mc), where the external swf is being loaded: on(release){ _root.center_mc.gotoAndStop(1); This stops the external swf on the...

I wanted to clarify one thing, before any questions are asked...My programmer only put up ONE of theThree external swfs that appear within the parent swf...It should still be enough to illustrate the problem. The other two swfs are the top and bottom "banners" of the interface, and...

Here are the links: The first link shows the external swf on its own, the button in question is on the bottom left (audio off). It works in this file. The second link shows the parent file with all three external swfs. The only button in question is the one I referred to on the bottom left ...
