Can you design in Flash for something to pop up at certain times?
1 Comment | Posted by admin in flash design
I’m wondering if you can design something in Flash to pop up at certain times, and can this be user-definable?
I want both the time and data entered to be user-definable. Not as a separate ‘window’ like in HTML, but I would envision it to be Flash.
Also, if the above is possible, and the user had navigated to another website altogether (even if you had frames on), would it still pop up, or no?
Flash uses actionscript 3 these days to allow you (the developer) almost as much control as you need.
You could easily make pop up windows with user definable content, but it would almost certainly mean that user info must be stored either in a database (like mysql, oracle, access), a flat database (like XML, or a CSV), or in a cookie on the clients machine.
This means that you may need to look at other intermediate languages as flash has pretty big security restrictions when it comes to accessing databases etc.
A great combination is FLASH / PHP / MYSQL.
The reason I pick these three for you is that there is SO many people also using them, meaning lots of support and tutorials out there.
If you want to actually make a separate window pop up, you may need to use a little javascript, which you should at least know how to hack, steal, mash, copy and paste etc if you are going to develop anything for the web.
Php and Javascript (and most other web development languages) can be used to feed Flash Vars into a swf in an html page. In this way, you can use the intermediate language (e.g. PHP) to read cookies or GET and POST variables and feed them to the swf as it is loaded in.
Your question is a little broad. What do you need to be user definable, the moment when something pops up, or the content contained in the ‘pop up’.
Personally, I wouldn’t use an extra pop up window as this may well be blocked by the users browser.
If you don’t know what I’m talking about, no offence intended, but you will have a LOT of reading and learning to do, unless you are a genius and good at ‘borrowing’ for mashups. I mean, if this is a popup within a normal HTML page, then you will probably want to learn (if you haven’t already) CSS too.

How do I design a game using flash media player?
3 Comments | Posted by admin in flash design
How do I design or create a good quailty (Not just this "old type of game") using flash?
Where do I download the right type of flash player to create a game?
And is there anything else I should know about designing a game with flash or just in overall in designing a game?
Lastly, are there any tips about using flash to design a game?
Ok, Thanks, So how do I design a game using Flash software and where can I download this software?
yea you will have to purchase the Macromedia Flash program to create a game with flash. It’s REALLY expensive (as in like $700), but if you are a college student sometimes you can get a less expensive student version through your school’s bookstore, and also most campuses have computers with the software, so maybe you could do it there? Or if you aren’t in college I would check with your local libraries. You can download a 30 day trial version of flash here: http://www.adobe.com/downloads/
but use it wisely- look into how to do it first because 30 days isn’t long to perfect a game! Flash is addictive.
Once you’ve got flash, you create different objects and then add scripts to them to make them interactive. Here’s a link to a bunch of tutorials for making flash games: http://www.tutorialized.com/tutorials/Flash/Games/1
