Is a flash site enough?

Hello. I used to see a lot of websites where the user chooses the flash version or the basic version. Now, it's something that is very rare. My question is "why is this? Modems 56K a thing of the past and not something a Web designer of modern day should worry? Is there a way not to mention that the user selects a version of the site that I've not heard of? Thank you for your help.

Instead, why not fill the flashcontent DIV html replacement
content - in other words, the non Flash version of the page in question?
This way, if the user does not have Flash Player installed, they do not have
Click on or download anything: they can read an HTML version of the site
without interruption. :)

Honestly, it's your customers. Do you charge for the time it takes to
build their content. If they want to pay for two formats, which equals more
money for you. :)

> What is the professional level?

My way of thinking, your customers want to communicate their ideas to
as many visitors as possible. This means that visitors who have Flash and also
those who do not - in addition, visitors who have a disability and who may be
using a screen reader program, such as JAWS
( http://www.freedomscientific.com/jaws-hq.asp).

Customers who are interested to reach many potential customers
must use Flash as an improvement, rather than a replacement
HTML content.

I think that most large companies are trying to make as much money as they
can. If they do both, they can charge more. ;)

  • Help with its use in way Pro Flash sites...

    Hi, well, I know some basic information on the sounds of reading and stop in AS3

    but I'm really confused and weak in the use of sound for Flash and project sites.

    in the project and Site Flash there is some Pages (images) that containe reading videos or sounds (such as Animation, movies, Clips, mp3 music and...)

    and most Flash sites have background music (playing one or more choice of music)

    So what is your best suggestion to do something like that?

    How can I put my background music for a break in the frames that Containe videos and audio?  and how do I get back and play again after the release of these images!

    am I have to use multi stage or some other tips to make?

    Use the sound class to create instances of sounds can use the methods and properties of the sound and soundchannel class to control your sound (s).

    var s:Sound = new YourSound();

    var sc:SoundChannel=s.play();

    any time you want to stop your sound, use:

    SC. Stop;

    When you restart your sound, use:

    SC = s.play (sc.position);

  • What is the right way to organize/build a Flash site

    I built a flash site and are having problems with buggy performance and does not know what the problem is. I think that I will be better rebuild of how "correct" but do not know what is this way.

    Here's what I have. My main time line consists of 7 sections labeled, separated by keyframes. Each section share common elements, such as menu navigation buttons. These elements have a coat that extends throughout the main timeline together. Then, each labeled section (which extends for about 10 images) has a set of his own clips on other layers of editing. I already had everything animated with Flash interpolation native, but now reworked all the animations with AS3. My code is placed in segments on each section. I did it because each section has its own set of clips so that the code is unique to their movement and function.

    It has been suggested that the code should be on the first image, but then how process items appearing only 10, 20, 30 images eventually?

    I also not sure how to assign document classes for each section, if the document class is the way to go?

    I think lack me a global vision on how properly structure/organize a flash site.

    Can someone me general guidelines on subject or point to a tutorial from a good source?

    You should take a look at one of the templates that are included in flash CS6.

    File-> new-> models-> presentation-> extended Presentation

    It's basically a presentation that can be easily used to the kind of Web site you have in mind.

    There is a MovieClip within this project called "Gliding MovieClip" you would put your seven labeled sections.

    There is a 'Background' layer: you would put your Designelements in which are still on the scene.

    There is a layer "Actions": here, you would have to set the navigation to your needs.

    Suppose you have a MenuItem "myStuff" on the backgroundLayer you would write the following Code to access the labeled "myStuff" of frame inside your MovieClip sliding:

    myStuff.addEventListener (MouseEvent.CLICK, navigateToMyStuff);

    function navigateToMyStuff(e:MouseEvent):void {}

    slides_mc.gotoAndPlay ("myStuff");

    }

    and so for all your 7 menu items.

  • Flash site that includes a flash drive

    We received a flash site in a record that includes a drive on the inside as well as a .exe. (included in a picture in this post - these are called 'start' and 'start.exe').

    We wonder how we can do the same with a website flash, we have designed so that the customer can receive a DVD or CD-Rom (or the directory itself) and open it from there because it includes the drive inside.


    Our question is - how is this done?

    Thank you

    P.S. by the way - what's the .exe for? (we use Mac only - it will be used instead of "start" when you use a PC)?

    flash_site.jpg

    I don't know much about Macs except that I believe a .exe is the equivalent of PC to a .app of Mac as you thought.

    I don't know what you call a player, but I don't see one with the exception of a javascript file named checkPlayer.js (would most likely be used for the html page).

    What I imagine is that the start file is the main file you are using, and he calls in various .swf files that appear to be a site with various sections.

    Exe/app files could be considered in the drive of files as each is a file autonomous, able to play on a computer without the need of Flash player.  So if you have created a site you may have the boot file of the vehicle to see to whom you have sent all of the files.

    So for OTN do you the same thing, you take any fla file you used the main file of your site and in the publication settings configured to publish a projector to win and a Mac projector of this file.

  • Largest size recommended for flash site

    Hello

    Thus, after just be dumped on from a great height by our development company, I need to create an entire site in flash with login and adding dynamic content etc etc...

    Can someone tell me what would be the recommended maximum size (pixel wise) for a flash site... what I have here is 1600px sq? A little big

    It is for most database should not so much lag too much of a point of view of the file size, I'm just worried because of the brevity of the time, and I find this kind of large size wise to make 100% in flash...

    I look forward to your views!

    Thank you very much

    Martin

    between the tags in your HTML head, you will see something like:

    Body {margin: 0; padding: 0; overflow: hidden ;}}
    #flashContent {width: 100%; height: 100% ;}}

    who to change:

    Body {margin: 0; padding: 0; text-align: center ;}}
    #flashContent {width: 1600; margin: 0px auto ;}}

    Flash takes supported a very limited number of html tags - used in the TextField objects - the complete list can be found if you search for the htmlText of the TextField class property.  Out of what you show, are supported only the img tags.

  • How can I find and save the background music of my Flash site?

    I see that the background music in my Flash site is in a symbol called muz.  When I click on the properties of this symbol, the sound file location is listed comme.\flash\sound\muz.wav that I could not find that its subfolder in the folder flash, or if I could find the file.  I tried to do a search to find the muz.wav file in my computer, but it is not found.  Anyone know how I can find and save this file?  Can the symbol somehow be exported and the sound file extracted in this way?

    I did it just now using something in the sense of this approach (found via Google somehwere)...

    Expand the sound file in the scenario of a fla file empty and on the file menu, select export-> film Export-> and select wav for the file type.

  • How do I import my Navigation bar and the FLA/SWF slideshow on my flash site

    Hello people. Currently I am woundering hwo to import my files swf and fla navigation and a slideshow on my flash site in flash itself

    so im start with open adobe and my flash page let me do my background images. pages etc and now I need to import my navigation bars and a slide show but when I try to import their they are screwed up and am in the library, but not all the files that I created. so im confused how will import them because they are just? Therefore, there is no mess. I just need to know how to send them there so that they work properly? Anyone know?

    I doubt there is a video for anything this basic, but you can try the search.  I recommend you to practice in a copy of the file that you intend to place them so that you do not lose this file because of a learning curve.

    If you open the fla in your navigation bar, etc., you want to copy the timeline.  If you select all layers and images of the main timeline, right-click the selection and choose copy image.  Then, in the destination file, you must create a new movieclip symbol.  Select the first frame of the new symbol, right-click and select Paste images.  All the layers and images that you copied should appear in the timeline panel.

    If you happen to have symbols from the library of the same name in the different files that you will be combining, which could cause a problem as it prompts you about whether you want to replace one with the other.  Also is it better to rename all of these symbols before you copy them.

  • What should I do if I need to make a flash site which is not a square/rectangle

    Hello

    I'm doing a flash site that will not be a square/rectangle. If I shoot this site from photoshop into flash, how when I export out of flash can I make sure that there is nothing in the background of the view of document because the site will not fill the entire context of the document. I hope this question makes sense, and if it doesn't I can try and he rephrase if necessary. Thanks for any help you can provide!

    It doesn't matter how cut you it, Visual files are created in rectangular shapes.  With Flash you can usually make the background transparent when you place it in a web page by adjusting the embed code (wmode = "transparent" in the settings value), but it will always occupy a rectangular region despite not seeing the rectangle.

  • Help with loading a swf from the Google Map API done in AS3 AS2 Flash site

    OK, maybe this can be done, I need to do everything in AS3, or it is a problem of the Google Map API.

    If someone could put me on the right track, I would be grateful.

    I created a Google Map API for Flash Add to my Web site.

    My site has been built using AS2 and the Google Map API was built using AS3

    My site Flash .swf works fine and the Google Map.swf, I created works very well.

    The problem is when I try and do not add the Google Map.swf on my website flash As2 will Google.swf no work.

    I'm trying just to eliminate the error.

    Is it because that...

    1. after having my site flash with AS2, I can't add a .swf with AS3

    2. I need to change the code...

    3. it has nothing to do with AS3, it's because this is a Google Map API.


    I have a button written in AS2 on my main flash site that has a a PreLoader.


    on (release) {}

    Stop behavior MovieClip
    this.gotoAndStop ("Google_Map");
    End behavior


    load film behavior
    If (this.mcContentHolder is {Number (this.mcContentHolder))}
    loadMovieNum ("PreLoaderGoogle.swf", this.mcContentHolder);
    } else {}
    this.mcContentHolder.loadMovie ("PreLoaderGoogle.swf");
    }
    End behavior
    }

    The PreLoaderGoogle.swf was then has a

    Instance of: charger

    contentPath

    Google_Map.swf

    If I change the Google_Map.swf instance in the PreLoader for an another .swf using AS2 it all works.


    or do I just have the wrong end of the stick.

    All advice appreciated.

    If you load an as3 swf into an as2 swf, none of the code in the as3 swf file will work.

    the simplest way around this is: you could create a loader swf (GER) as3 that loads your as2 swf and load your google as3 swf.

  • Flash site does not load in firefox but Chrome loads - how can I debug / fix this?

    When I go to a site web flash I have a subscription to (stock data), it does not load, but the same page load in Chrome (chrome). This is the best info I have at the moment. I have latest flash on firefox 18.

    In fact, it occurred to me later that afternoon, but I use Gentoo, which normally builds of the source (because I'm hardcore like that). I uninstalled the normal version and reinstalled binaries precompiled and everything works. I'm happy again and just need to play with the source build options, I can do later.
