Make your own E-Card!

[oscar11122]

I was playing around with flash, and I came out with the idea of a taco singin Christmas songs on the snow, so here is it, I'm really getting better at this stuff!

Singing Taco

P.D. I really tried to add sound but I have some problems with it!!

[AccountableMasses]

not a bad idea. with some holiday music this would be a really grande idea.. (pun intended)

[MickHarrison]

could you relay how you did that?
I mean with 'go' button and all that

I have a card i want to send over the email
so any tips like this would be appreciated

[oscar11122]

Do you mean the "Click to open card" Thing?

you open the actions panel and write the respective code, look for more info on the tutorials section, but if you want the code it's just:

on (release) {
play();
}

Hope this helped ;)

thank you

its not gonna work if you dont place stop(); as an action in the frame where the button is, actionscript is not amused

to tell you the truth... I have no idea even where to paste that script
how buttons are made
what the hell I'm doing

it is quite a bind

anyone want to do a screen grab or something?

lol so you really are a pro animator who´s new to flash, thing might be a lil bit confusing at the beggining but once you get the hang of it it makes your life way easier for animation, i wouldnt mind answering any question in my inbox but i guess its more intresting learning from an interactive movie, heres a pile of them:

okay, quick tutorial to save your life with actionscript

first make two frames, click on the first frame, go to actions, type in stop(); do that with the second frame as well

next draw a play button, highlight it, and convert to symbol, and set it to button.

next you click on the button go to actions and type in:

on(release){
_root.gotoAndPlay( 2 );
}

(remember its caps sensitive)
you can also do this using behaviors.

and for preloaders, you can go here, which are pretty useful.

Not to be rude, but this is an animation topic, there is an animation forum, ^^'

And... I haven't seen a E-card! :S

[MickHarrison]

thanks for the help
but.... what is supposed to happen now?
I did what you said and now ...... erm......
it appears that nothing occurs

[MickHarrison]

I realise this is getting boring so here is a wee animation I am working on
as you can see the preloader doesn't work on this either... technical stuff
I would like to make into a friend but usually it just sits back and laughs at me

[MickHarrison]

here is the result of my trying to preview

it looks like you've placed the btn script on a frame, also your using Cs3/4 so your probably using a default As3 file in which case you can't use on (release) {}

Do you have any instant messengers? skype, msn, aim, facebook... if so pm me them and I'll help you.

[turtleco]

easy fix,

the preloader you downloaded was probably the wrong version, you probably got the as2 version of flash, while you probably have a newer version of flash that uses as3. You may have noticed that there are two files that come in the .zip folder when you downloaded the preloader. the one you should open is ng_simple_preloader_as3.fla

also, to make a play button in as3 easily without knowing as3

go to window>behaviors

highlight your play button press the little plus symbol in behaviors>Movieclip> go to and play at frame or label and put in the frame you want it to go to.

Sorry... "there is an animation forum"... i was actually going to write "There is an actionscript forum"

[Blounty]

What makes this even worse, is that the guy who made the thread about E-cards is telling you lot to go to another forum for such simple code that could be given so easily here.

Then if they got the code here, they could make an E-card and contribute even more to this thread.

[oscar11122]

Thanks for the cheer up ¬¬

[oscar11122]

Sorry for double, but... Anyways, i got another E-card from my own! (I put less effort in this one though...)Crappy E-card!

[oscar11122]

Another E-card (after a while)

Oranhe monster

[oscar11122]

Come on guys, Can't you upload your E-card? I'm feeling ignored (lol)
