This is an example of just the look that I see alot and what I can't figure out. It has kind of a 3d look, with the navbars and such just looking a bit rounded...

Has anyone used Flash MX and used the slide presentation option. If so, is it good? Is it just like PowerPoint or does it have some increased functionality? Any opinions on this would be much...

I am pretty new to flash, and I am definetly new to design. My company wants me to create a sales presentation/commercial type thing in flash and I want it to look nice. My main question is this: ...

I have Flash MX Professional 2004, I am trying to make a preloader and I am relatively inexperience with Flash. I have gone to several sites looking for tutorials and they all point to the

1. I would like to have text that comes in one letter at a time, as if someone was typing it like in the beginning of the matrix, how can i achieve this?

I imported some video and it plays great and all that when I do a test movie or publish, but when I try to view the movie within the actual timeline I cannot hear the audio. I need to hear the audio...

Thanks for the advice, I will try that stuff.

i suppose you could just make everything smaller.

I created a test movie with a video clip. I used a clip I had pulled off of my camcorder and converted to an mpeg via Adobe Premiere. The clip is 1.6mb by itself, but when I put it in Flash and...

why exactly are you using a gif? jpeg compression is much better, and png's handle transparency much better.

Yeah, thats what I would do, just make it a movie clip fade and just do a GotoAndPlay(). That sounds like the most logical answer to me.

Do you mean like, you view movie clip a, then click a button to view movie clip b, but before movie clip b loads, movie clip a fades out?

I have a friend who is considering using flash but she does primarily html pages. She just wants to use flash to create buttons and then export them to be used on html pages. I'm assuming this is...

i do 24, because it's smooth enough without being too insane, also i hear that's what film runs at, so it seems like a nice happy number. however, i think it can depend on the project. for instance...

I have also done this saving my file as a .gif, but it does not handle gradients well at all, so I will use the method the other people said from now on, I just thought I'd share.

Oh, one more thing, there are many other ways to link to other parts of your site, you can GotoAndStop() and other stuff too, I just used GotoAndPlay() cause it was relatively straight forward, but...

The best way I know is to use actionscript and th GotoAndPlay() command. Create a button and attach the the following code to the button (on the main timeline, not within the button itself...it's...

Thanks, hopefully that will clear it up.

Ok, this maynot be a completely newbie question, but I'm gonna throw it out there:
I don't really understand the theory of how buttons hold mc's that hold other mc's that hold graphics that hold... ...

I'm pretty new to actionscript, so I don't really know a lot. But you're problem seemed pretty simple so I took a look at it, but boy that sure is odd. Your code seems fine, you roll over the...

Ok, I want to have a background where a simple movie clip of a randomly generated scale and location plays indefinetly. I can make it so that on frame 1, it randomly generates them, but then it just...

ok, i got it. i hadn't named the instance of box i was using as the button. thanks for your help. i wonder why it needs a name. i guess to differentiate it from the other instance. one other...

The example worked before making changes, but as soon as I changed the mc you had to be something with an actual animation, it did not work. Can you help me with this.
