I made a flash movie and need it to run on the intro page

Potato · 01-24-2003, 04:51 PM

I am not too familiar with flash and with some help i made an intro for my site. How do i make it run? I know html and everything but never have used flash in my life. The flash file is, "Intro.fla" What should my code be?

You need to publish the movie (file => publish (settings)) this will give you a *.swf which can be viewed with Flash player. Your publishing options will enable an html page with the necessary html to be created too.

Alright i just tried that but still, i want the background black and it in the middle and when it stops to go to another page. Whenevr it publishes it gives me a window with the flash on the top left of the screen.

I also cant even make it fit, a piece of it is cut off

To center the movie, you can put it inside a table and align both vertical & horizontally to the middle

what are you not understanding ??

The page will be the same as the movie's background by default. If you want to change it you'll need manualy edit the html

boy your signature says it all...

anyway, if the movie doesn't fit on the page then guess what? you need to resize it so that it fits (usually) a 800X600 resolution.

anyway, if you know html like you said, then changing the back ground color should not be a problem, nor should centering the movie.

K i finally got it, here:
GyroTek
Well there is no home page so dont complain but how do i make it link to a home.html once the flash is over? The quality is at good with 12 fps so dont tell me to lower the qaulity. It runs slow first time around but second time it runs well. Now how do i make it go to the site right after the flash video? Thanks

Ok in the last frame of you movie put an action statement there.

Use the getURL() which should be under browser/network in the actions panel.

ok ??

Potato · 01-24-2003, 08:15 PM

huh? can someone explain better?

mouse · 01-24-2003, 08:24 PM

Create a keyframe at the end of the movie, before any stop() command you may have there... insert the actionscript geturl("http://address.com"); in this keyframe.

I did that and it loads the page even before the movie starts. This will be so much easier over aim, please im me at jasonap1
