would you help me, how can if the PDF format can convert to SWF and show in the web?
thank you for your sharing…
i have version flashmx 6 .do you have a version that work in that version
Hi Java C, The PageFlip works with all versions of Flash, from “Flash MX” and up. The SWF must be published for version 6 SWF Players or higher.
Hello,
I am interested in having the Flash book automatically open to a specific page by passing a variable in the web address.
Say I have two HTML pages, my home page which is a basic page not using Flash, and a book.htm page with the Flash book. I want my home page to go to the book page and flip (or no flip, just show the open page) using something like this
Open Page 4
I know I could just give people instructions on how to go to the book page and then flip to page 4, but having it open when they get there would be great.
Thanks,
Russell
Hi
I am reading these posts with great interest and as many people are already saying, it is wonderful to see people like you sharing your knowledge and your work for free.
I am trying to figure out if this actionscript is going to work for me.
I have quite limited experience with Flash but I remember that about 2 years ago I managed to create a Flash file that could read an external xml file giving a list of filenames and transition effects to create a slideshow. The great thing was that the only thing to modify was the xml file (and obviously the images). This was very flrexible.
Now my company is sponsoring a new project called Kids of Nature (www.kidsofnature.org) and my intention is to create dynamic Flash ebook based on information stored in mysql database. The idea is to generate the xml code from php and have a standard Flash file including the PageFlig actionscript displaying the Flash ebook. The reason of doing so is that the intention is to create new ebook almost everyweek, so it must be dynamic (content loaded from database without modification of the Flash file).
I am already doing so to create epub ebook on the fly.
Is this feasible with what you have developed?
How do I go about this?
Your help would be greatly appreciate…
Paul
