Getting My Flash Intro Online

programming flash
1

I am having some problems here. I have made a flash intro in Flash MX 2004, and want to put it on my angelfire site. How do I go about getting my Flash intro hosted online, so I can then embed it into my site? It is still on my hardrive.

Also, a second question. Before my Flash intro, how do I go about constructing some kind of “loading” bar.

Thanks, Flash nUb…

Follow the steps :

  1. Publish your movie from Flash MX 2004 (File/Publish).

  2. You will see new .html & .swf files created in the same folder where your source .fla file is.

  3. Upload the html and swf files to your server by FTP.

Wizard,

In that tutorial, I followed everything up until it told me to right click on an empty frame, and hit actions in the context window. When I right click, my window shows no “actions” option…

Is that right?

Hmmm, well I’m using MX but I could imagine it being the same in MX2004. Try hitting the F9 key instead of right-clicking.
