Not as sophisticated, but much simpler:

I was offering the tutorial as a simpler alternative. Everyone has a choice
as to whether or not they want to accept that alternative. That is not your
choice to make, and calling someone a scum for offering an alternate
solution is most assuredly against forum etiquette.

Urami,
We provide the .fla file, but also a tutorial on how to achieve the effect.
Please, if you're going to be outrageously aggresive, at least throw in a
couple of facts.

You are absolutely correct in saying that there is a lot of free information
here, much of it provided by you, unselfishly. That's a wonderful thing, and
you are to be commended for it. But when you turn around and call people
scum for helping people in a way that you disagree with, every positive
thing you've done for anyone here goes straight out the window. Help people
the way that you would like to, and we'll do the same. If people find
everything they need here for free (and much of the content at Community MX
is completely free), then you can set your mind at ease.

Do not throw names around carelessly, Urami. What you feel is right and what
the law feels is right may be two different things.

There is not much to do for you , just some library modification.
The file is the easiest you will find if you seek good quality page turn.
Rest will be more time consuming to build , usually frame by frame animation
not actually turn using actionscript.

I check that file carefully and with all due respect , the scripting is neat but
the download source is hell of a mess , especially for new user.
So here , please download filet version and follow instruction on how to modify it :
http://www.flashfugitive.com/fd/page.swf
download
http://www.flashfugitive.com/fd/page.fla

Now please, pay attention because I won't be able to help you much more . I have lots of work to follow up today.

If you open the file , you will see black square on stage , right click it - EDIT IN PLACE
Click on the first frame and hit F9 to enter frame action . Now , there is nothing for you to add beside two
thing only . Scroll down the action editor and look for my comments lines near the bottom , line 220 and 232.

You will find :

var pageWi = 300;
var PageHi = 300;

which define the pages size , than you will find :

var maxPages = 6;

which define the number of pages the book going to have.

Remember that book cover and the back , you must ALWAYS use even numbers . 2,4,6,8,10 etc...

Now , close the action editor , go back to stage or simply Shift F2 and click on the SCENE.
It will take you back to stage.

Now the book pages.
Open library CTRL L , you will find print1/print2/print3/print4..... etc...
Each movie clip represent one page, must be as many movie clips as you define pages.
The sample I uploaded uses var maxPages = 6; that's why we have 6 movie clips.

If you happen to add page , make sure you give it linkage name , right click any of the movie clips
and go to linkage , you will notice they all have it . If you add new page , right click - linkage , check the
Export for ActionScript and give it ID name , make sure it follow the naming convention , print(number)

Last thing is position of the pages. If you open library CTRL L , pick any of the pages and right click - EDIT
You will notice the page is position exactly at the center point. To Center something properly open the
ALIGN panel option , CTRL K , press the button TOP STAGE and from the top ALIGN buttons click the Align Horizontal
Center and second button from the second set of button next to it ,Align Vertical Center.

Than to make sure the pages are exactly the same size as in action script , CTRL ALT I and you will see the W and H
of the image .

Pretty much it ,
have fun




Regards

So ironic , you dare to talk about etiquette.
Scum is appropriate for people like , it does not sound nice
because it it's the truth of salt in your eyes ...

You are yourself "against forum etiquette" and against any common decency.
Don't waste my time. You just a thief who try to rip people money in return for some
junk they can get here for free . Here, where we are willing and more than happy to
do it for free. FLA is not alternative, a tool that provide solution is alternative.

You just a Vulture and a SCUM so don't expect respect from people if you behave like one.

Really could not care less , I call names where is due so you got what you deserved.
You are forum parasite , what you expect, a common parasite who pray on new user ignorance and
try to make money out of it because they just too new and confused on how to get things done.
You the only one in here that practice such behaviors .
So what would that be ? Is the The Majority or the Margin that is right ?
Did not give you any clue so far ?
Did not realize you the only one here continuously posting commercial products
not as solution but you push it w/o anyone asking for it .

That's because the total lack of your decency and greed for the poor new users money
is your drive .
Sickening ...

The forum is not to conduct business so you bullshit talk about "my way - your way"
of helping has no place in for any discussion.
I'm not going to reply any more of your posts as you don't deserve my time.
You are pathetic trying to excuse your behaviors in rational ways .
The more you try , the more you prove my point .

Hi.

Just, please, dont f*** with Urami.
If you would surf the forums more often, you should know that she is one of
the major brain here and very non-selfish helper as well.

Thank you for your understanding,
Benjamin

I have downloaded the fla file for the page turn effect that you posted. its
brilliant, very easy to use.
I am assuming it is ok to add further animations to each page as they are
movie clips.
However i am trying to add a link to load an external swf file into a holder
placed on the main stage, outside of the movie clip.

so ive place a holder movieclip on the stage named holder.
on the movie clip "page2" i have a button which when clicked loads the
external swf file on top of the book. the code ive used is:

on(release){
_root.loadMovie("POP.swf", "holder",);
}

but when i use this the flash file resizes to the size of the external swf
file.

what i was wanting to happen was for the external file to load on top of the
pages, with the pages still visable, then after the user has finished in that
section they can close it/remove the movie and continue browsing the pages.

Any help would be greatly appreciated.

Hi Urami,

Thank you very much for the code and tutorial regarding the page turns.
I have an additional question...
How can the page turn be made self running... on a timer?
Is it inefficient to add code saying that the cursor is placed in a particular
place?

Thanks!

Which book would it be ? I made few samples, some might need to be redone while others
can be easily set to auto turn.
