Appeal For Flash-related Help [kinda Urgent] - I could use some help!

Hey team, New to the forums and new to Flash. I'm trying to work out what script I need to use
in order to make a movie clip (a grey square if it matters) change alpha qualities when you roll the
mouse over it. I also want it to stop and fade back to it's original form when you move the
mouse off it. I've got it working just using a button symbol but when I take the mouse of it
just jumps straight back to the original form (ie. no 'fade out') and it also repeats
itself. I've googled it, and done a search on the forums. I'm sure it's ...

In the past year or two iternet explorer and other browsers have updated their coding platforms.
The bad thing is that if you have any flash objects at all within your web page you have to hit the
space bar or click on the flash object to activate it. Once you activate it, you then can interact
with the object or the object will then play on the website. I dont like how you have to activate
the flash player first to interact with it. here is the code to prevent that. Believe me people
notice how much better the site is after you do this. put under the flash player. ...

Hey all, I'm working with a art student on this flash based portfolio site and it requires some
complicated action scripting. Either him nor I are efficient enough in flash so we need some advice
from you experienced Flash experts out there. I worked with flash a long time ago and it was only on
one project so I remember vaguely what movies and time lines are for lol. Basic stop and go to
commands but that's about it. I can read up on anything I need but the thing is I have no idea
where to begin. I have attached a PDF of my partners initial storyboard of the sc...

Hi. Basically, the MovieClip(root) thing is dodgy at the best of times. Besides - it's not
recommended to use root at all. In fact, it's highly discouraged. I've seen plenty of posts
about this, but for the life of me, I can't find anything about what else I should use. What
alternative should I be using to access properties/mc's/etc from the root/parent time lines??
edit:Cleanup/spelling fixes, etc....

Hi all, I'm working on a project. Basically I hope to build a generic web application
framework that will allow Flash/AS3 applications to be easily integrated into the Facebook platform.
I am currently surveying a number of technologies and I am trying to figure out what tools will best
help me achieve that goal. Many of them are open source with some still in early development. Most
lack extensive documentation so its very difficult to gauge the strengths and weaknesses of a tool
without investing a good deal of time figuring out how to use them. Is anyone here...

Its weird but sometimes when you hit the forums or roster button on my flash banner it will load:
www.childrenofconan.trap17.com/index.html instead of what its suppost to. It works fine, but if you
mess around and click the buttons for a little bit you will notice this happening. This is a problem
because people visiting the site will sometimes click the button once and be like oh I guess the
link is broken and never come back, if anyone has a solution to what could be the problem it would
be awesome. This is one of my first custom flash banners and im just confused what...

Hi Guys, I am trying to make a flash based web site. The idea is to have a flv video streaming
which has people moving around and the people need to be clickable objects. I tried tracing the
video by importing the flv to the flash time line and creating a button that follows a person in
each frame. I then remove the flv video from the timeline and stream it using actionscript. This
leads to synchronization issues. Does anyone know if this combination of swf and flv has ever been
implemented? If so could you please refer me to the source or post a link to an example, i...

As I started to learn Java, I came across a tutorial for making Java applets. As I read on, I found
some similarities between Java applets and Flash movies. Right when I saw the source code for a
checkerboard picture made in Java, I said to myself, Flash beats Java applets big time! It also took
a while to load such a small applet when in Flash it instantly loaded. In my opinion, I think flash
beats Java applets when it comes to convenience, appearance, load time, animation, and more (except
AJAX). Here are two articles, first supporting java applets and the other flas...

QUOTE Hi In this tutorial I am going to show you how to make a ball move around the screen
realistically and if the ball hits a side of the stage it will bounce. Background colour white.
550x400 50 fps The first thing you need to do is draw a circle on the stage (50x50) then select it
and press F8. (You may want to put a line or something through the ball so that you can see it
rotate). Set it as a MovieClip. Now double click on the circle to edit it, position the ball to be
in the very center. Now go to the main screen and click on the first frame and open the ...

when first running Flash 8, I was very confused...for all people who have ever used Flash, how do

Hey everyone, I began making my website with Firworks, and Dreamweaver. But I really want to know
how to make a website with Flash. I understand with this program you make 'movies'. I have
done some tutorials too, and I get that. But what I want to know is, if the content in the different
pages (like home, contact, links etc.) have to be one movie? Or do you use other programs. Like
this site below, it's a beautiful site of the Luny Tunes (reggeaton music artistgroup): Luny
Tunes But is the whole site a 'Movie', or is there some HTML in it as w...
