I am trying to create a small animated webpage that displays my pictures of things we build and design at my company. I have read on FLASH but just dont quite understand how to plug a JPG into it and make another JPG come up right after it. If anyone could help out I would greatly apprechiate it.
To put JPEG in a flash movie you could import it by goin File>Import
I’ve figured that out. But my problem is importing 100 photos and making them transition into each other. I guess I bit off more than I can chew.
If you are going to have an swf file with 100 jpgs in it, nobody is gonna wait for it to download;
you’d need to make sure all of them are saved as “non-progressive”, else they won’t display,
and then use actionscript to dynamically load the pictures.
the web is full of ressources with free fla files that could help you out…
here’s one example: http://www.sephiroth.it/file_detail.php?id=124
ps: please use meaningfull titles for your posts, makes it easier to search…
I understand most of the pics will be 30k or so. I’ve compiled the list to 45 or so now. But in all the confusion I am still really lost. I can import a pic but then when i import another it writes it overtop the other one even if I use a differant layer or frame. I guess i’m still a little confused on how to get the JOB done. Any more help would be great.
how about making it a MC and use movieclip._visible=0
Flash…how much do you know of it’s usage…?
Your question ins’t 100% clear to me.
Make 45 frames, file/import to stage on each frame…
or if you name your jpg like img001.jpg, img002.jpg, img003.jpg… Flash would normally recognize it’s sequential and prompt you to import them all…
Where is the pb, import or display?
I dont know much about flash. I’m at best an early beginner at best. I have many pictures that I have sorted. With the pics I want to make them come up in order that i desire in a slideshow type presentation for the beginning of my website. I see most of the things you are talking about just cant figure out exactly how to make them do what I want with flash. I’m really confused with all the differant takes on how to do what I want to do. Every time I read another post I just get more confused. So now I hope that clarifies it somewhat. IDEAS I’m up for any right now.
ok, so you open your fla, go to file menu, import to library, select all the pics at once in the import dialog, then they are in the fla’s library.
if you don’t have that open, Ctrl+L.
Now, make as many KEYframes in your timeline as necessary (right-click/insert keyframe on the timeline)
drop a pic in each of these, open the align panel, select the right-most button (to stage) and then click both hor. & vert. center align to get them all into the same place. that’s once for each pic.
set the movies frame rate in the movie properties or property panel then Ctrl+Enter and watch…
It will loop as there’s no stop action anywhere, if you don’t want a loop, insert stop(); on the last keyframe.
hope this helps.
