This has kind of thrown me for a loop. Maybe there’s some simple little option in the publish settings that i’m screwing up. Here’s the relevent directory:
Save “doeet.swf”, “illustration.swf” and “01_n.jpg” to your hard drive. Open up doeet.swf and click on the illustration button when able. You’ll be presented with two viewing options, choose the second [to remain in flash only]. Click on the very first icon. Presto, a draggable imported JPG. No big deal.
Now save the doeet.html to the same directory and try through that. Or try just clicking on doeet.swf within that open directory on sour.org. Navigate to the same area and, pffft. It loads up partially masked, it seems [i’m using no masks] and completely flops.
Anyone have any clue why it would do this?
The FLA files are in that directory. To briefly explain the scripting:
doeet.swf - illustration button has code to first shut down any currently loaded section, then load up the external swf for the illustration section.
illustration.swf - the thumbnail panels [three: illustration, flyers, doodles] have actionscript in their first frame containing various functions [one to load up external JPGs and position them. one to launch a popup with the external JPG]. the thumbnails themselves have coding to delegate that scripting. It’s all very messily scripted right now. still in an early development stage.
