[F8]Does anyone know flashpaper

[Mitchtheboss]

ya it's for a cd... if i were to send it to you through email could you take a look for me?

[Ask The Geezer]

Can you upload it somewhere?

[Mitchtheboss]

where could i do that... i haven't been doing web site stuff long and i don't have any sites right now...

[Ask The Geezer]

How big is it? My mail won't allow more than 5Mb.

[Mitchtheboss]

it's 2.44mb

[Mitchtheboss]

bump

[Mitchtheboss]

ok so yours worked for me if i open the swf file or do a "test movie" how do i make mine the right size and centered like yours because mine is larger and off centre

[Ask The Geezer]

The settings for size are in the line of code at the bottom. Positioning is done by moving the empty clip it loads to.

which line of code? there is only one

[Ask The Geezer]

I've forgotten where we are here. If I sent flashpaper1, then it has an empty clip and the code in frame 1. The code loads and sizes the other flashpaper swf into mtClip. The last line in the code is the variables that set the size when it loads.

[Mitchtheboss]

which last line i dont understand all the code says in the mtclip is

_root.Intro.mtClip.loadMovie("R01-2006.swf");
stop();

[Ask The Geezer]

this code, in frame 1 of loadpaper1.fla;

function loadFlashPaper(
   path_s, // path of SWF to load
   dest_mc, // MC which we should replace with the SWF
   width_i, // new size of the dest MC
   height_i, // new size of the dest MC
   loaded_o) // optional: object to be notified that loading is complete
{
   var intervalID = 0;
   var loadFunc = function()
   {
      dest_mc._visible = false;
      var fp = dest_mc.getIFlashPaper();
      if (!fp)
         return;
      if (fp.setSize(width_i, height_i) == false)
         return;
      dest_mc._visible = true;
      clearInterval(intervalID);
      loaded_o.onLoaded(fp);
   }
   intervalID = setInterval(loadFunc, 100);
   dest_mc.loadMovie(path_s);
}
function onLoaded(fp)
{
   // loading is complete, so we can now adjust the current page, zoom, etc.
   // go to page 50.
   fp.setCurrentPage(1);
   // change magnification to 33%
   fp.setCurrentZoom(30);
}
loadFlashPaper("Basic_Setup_Directions1.swf", this.mtClip, 350, 250, this);

This is the initial function;

function loadFlashPaper(
   path_s, // path of SWF to load
   dest_mc, // MC which we should replace with the SWF
   width_i, // new size of the dest MC
   height_i, // new size of the dest MC
   loaded_o) // optional: object to be notified that loading is complete
{

And that last line, in the first block of code above, sets the parameters of that function, when you call the function, when you trigger it;

loadFlashPaper("Basic_Setup_Directions1.swf", this.mtClip, 350, 250, this);

The first one, Basic_Setup_Directions1.swf, is the name of the swf to load, the next one, this.mtClip, is what target to load it into, The next two numbers are the width and height you want it to show at, the last parameter, this, just tells it it's this timeline.

oh i see what code your talking about... so i open my R01-2006.swf and enter that code just like you have it there except change the file name and change the diameters and then it should work whne it loads?

[Mitchtheboss]

sorry i think i get it
i have to use

_root.Intro.mtClip.loadMovie("loadpaper1.swf");
stop();

and in the loadpaper1.swf i put the r01-2006.swf at the bottom of that where you have the basic setup directions

[Mitchtheboss]

oh i see what code your talking about... so i open my R01-2006.swf and enter that code just like you have it there except change the file name and change the diameters and then it should work whne it loads?

disregard this i wasn't making sence... you can't edit an swf hahah sorry...

[Ask The Geezer]

No, that code all goes into the main movie, where you would want to load that R01-2006.swf that you generated from Flashpaper. In your case, the last line would look like this;

loadFlashPaper("R01-2006.swf", _root.Intro.mtClip, 350, 250, this);

Also, don't forget that other fuction, just above that last line;

function onLoaded(fp)
{
   // loading is complete, so we can now adjust the current page, zoom, etc.
   // go to page 50.
   fp.setCurrentPage(1);
   // change magnification to 33%
   fp.setCurrentZoom(30);
}

You can set what page you want the flashpaper swf to show when it loads, fp.setCurrentPage(1); and at what percent it should show inside the flashpaper thing itself, fp.setCurrentZoom(30); which you can reset from the flashpaper swf when the visitor sees it, using the controls at the top.

[Mitchtheboss]

function loadFlashPaper(
path_s, // path of SWF to load
dest_mc, // MC which we should replace with the SWF
width_i, // new size of the dest MC
height_i, // new size of the dest MC
loaded_o) // optional: object to be notified that loading is complete
{
var intervalID = 0;
var loadFunc = function()
{
dest_mc._visible = false;
var fp = dest_mc.getIFlashPaper();
if (!fp)
return;
if (fp.setSize(width_i, height_i) == false)
return;
dest_mc._visible = true;
clearInterval(intervalID);
loaded_o.onLoaded(fp);
}
intervalID = setInterval(loadFunc, 100);
dest_mc.loadMovie(path_s);
}
function onLoaded(fp)
{
// loading is complete, so we can now adjust the current page, zoom, etc.
// go to page 50.
fp.setCurrentPage(1);
// change magnification to 33%
fp.setCurrentZoom(30);
}
loadFlashPaper("R01-2006.swf", _root.mtClip, 350, 250, this);
stop();

ok thats what i have in it now and for some reason i still can't get it to load.

[Mitchtheboss]

i put that in where it says Ratesheet on my document.
and the mtclip layer has the empty clip in it and that all no script

[Ask The Geezer]

Well, mine doesn't load when testing from the hard drive either. It has to be online for some reason. And like I said before, I don't know if it will load from a CD.

[Mitchtheboss]

what if i put the document on the cd aswell when i burn the cd
