AUSMA FAQ

  1.  
Ho to post my Flash homework to my website?
    1. Save your work in that directory where you are going to have your html file or special folder for Flash files.
2. You get two files swf and fla. Only swf is important to Web page. You can leave Fla  file if you are going to improve it later. You do not need to upload fla file to the Web.
3. In your Flash programme go:  File/Publish Preview (Default or HTML), go to the HTML sources and copy <Object> to </Object>. If your swf file is saved in separate folder, correct a path.
4. Paste it in your HTML file.

Another way: By saving your fla file you get also HTML file in your directory automatically.

2. Some people use to publish their swf file with simple codes like this:
 
<embed src="flash/simpletween.swf" width="200" height="130"></embed>
    This isn't correct. Use full codes in that way what you get by publishing your swf file.
 
3. There are requirements in AFFPG to post all assignments of week on one page. I can't it.
    You can it! Open with Notepad this text file with HTML page for week 1 formatted in tables and change given swf codes with your swf codes
 
4. I published my files but I can't see them
    You files title or folder have spaces.
 

Naming

Names for files and folders must conform to standard Internet conventions:

  •  You cannot use spaces.
  •  You cannot use punctuation except for hyphen - and underscore _
  •  Remember that the Internet is case sensitive.

 

5. I am trying to do to the task 13, only that am with difficulty in the execution of the task the translation not this advancing a lot and since this tutorial is not very rich in illustrations is it more complicated for me... I guide myself for the images you could help me?. Hugs, Dom
 
    Maybe you help my Lithuanian tutorial. You can't do translation, but there are more pictures, maybe they will help you:

1. You see that every letter is written on separate layers: Picture on the left RUDUO

2. Every letter is converted to symbols, cut from 1 frame and pasted in 15 th frame - picture on the right, choose MOTION

3. You do the same with every letter. After that you need to move every letter from the center into edges or even outside your document.

AND YOU GET EXPLODING

 

6. I have downloaded fla and swf files from the tutorial Strobe writing, assignment 63. When I open swf file, it's OK. But if I open fla file and want to test it, I do not see correct effects, only the 6 images, which changes one after another. What it happens?
    It seems that you don't have a font Rockwell Extra Bold, which was used by author in flash. When you open fla file, the program suggest you to choose substitute font. There are 2 ways to resolve this problem:
  • find font used in fla file and install in your Windows/ Font folder. Also you can not install but just open it and keep it opened when you are opening fla file. The file will plays correctly.
  • if you do not find font, open fla file and change font with some other which you have installed. The file will plays correctly.
     
7. When I want open downloaded fla file, the program gives me a message "Unexpected file format".
    This means that flash is made with higher Flash program version, like you have.
 
8. What is fps?
   

The measure of the number of frames displayed sequentially per second of animation in order to create the illusion of motion. The higher the frame rate, the smoother the motion, because there are more frames per second to display the transition from point A to point B.

If we leave 12 fps (frames per second), this is the default frame rate for web production; for television and other media production, it can go as high as 30 frames per second. 12 is all that you really need for Flash animation for the web; it still allows a consistent flow of motion, but avoids raising your file sizes by adding extra frames. that means that twelve of the blocks in the timeline will make up one second of animation.

If I want to extend my animation for one second.

Right now we should be on frame 12, where our last animation ended; let's make this one a bit longer. The last one was one second at 12 frames; let's make this one three seconds, which means that we'll need three times as many frames: 36.
