I've exported a Flash 8 file with and RSS feed showing headlines from the BBC website. When I export the Flash file, the RSS headlines are displayed, but when I upload the Flash movie to the internet the RSS headlines don't appear!

View 1 RepliesI have several SWF's (secondary) published that I want to load into a main (primary) SWF file when the corresponding button is released. I'm currently using loadMovie to load external SWFs into a container_mc on main stage of primary SWF. This works, the secondary SWF loads when it's button is released.But, the secondary SWF has items in it's library that Export for Actionscript, and they should load onto the secondary SWFs stage inside a container_mc (has a different instance name from the one used in main stage). These library items are not showing up. One should load immediately, the others after button releases. None are loading.Should this work? Will items in the library of the secondary SWF that are set to Export for Actionscript be available to load once the secondary SWF is loaded into the primary SWF? Do I have to share the library of the loaded SWF with the main SWF?

I have a flash template that I bought and customized with dreamweaver, flash and Coda html editor, the website test PERFECTLY when I test the index.html file, all of the buttons work fine, I have a total of 12 .flv videos and they ALL play back fine, when I play the index.html file, the problem occurs when I upload the files to my godaddy server, 11 of the videos play fine, the whole site is fine, it is one particular .flv file that will not play once it is uploaded to the server. I have changed the orders the video play, renamed the file and changed the html flv path to reflect the name change, I have deleted all the files off my server, refreshed the server logged out and re logged on and uploaded everything again, I have re-encoded the original .mov file to a .flv file again using Adobe media encoder, still nothing, I am wondering why would the index.html play this particular .flv file fine, but once uploaded to the server it will not play, the path is correct I have checked it, if the path were the problem the index.html for that particular file would not play when I test the index.html file before I upload it, but it plays fine until it is uploaded, I am uploading the whole folder on the root, and this particular video file is in a folder with all the rest of the .flv files, I even tried changing the path and putting this particular .flv file in a seperate folder and change the path still nothing.
View 7 RepliesI'm freaking a bit here. I've committed to building this branded, simple quiz for a client, and I've got the basic functionality running now in an un-designed shell UI. The app is just a landing state, a string of 15 questions built dynamically using a single state, and a result state. Minimal Actionscript controls these rather sparse three layouts, and my 'release' exported .swf file is 308 KBytes. That's a bigger .swf than this giant, giant scrapbook application I was just working on strictly in Actionscript. And I haven't even added the design assets (including animations) to the project yet! I'd hate to see what size this file will be once the graphics assets are added.
Is this simply a drawback of using Flex? Is there some way to slim down the library of classes that are exported into the .swf or something? The amount of code I've written in this thing is ridiculously small, so I'm now wondering if simply using the Flex framework adds this much dead weight to the .swf file?
Q1. I am new in flash CS4. I have tried to export an simple flash which just contains a square to .swc file using Publish and Export Movie, but there only has one .swf file exported. No .swc is found. I already selected the export to .swc file in Publish Settings, however the result is sameQ2. I have tried to export a .swc file on the Library Panel. It works.

exported avi from 3D program
converted to flv and imported into flash CS4

I published it, but I need a .flv, not a .swf.
I've recently started using Flash in CS4 and finished up a short cycle and exported it as a .mov to find it had clipped the last two frames, Does anyon know why? Or how to stop it from clipping my work?

I'm developing this game and I want as3 to get a random exported movieClip.
You usually call:
Code:
var mc1:ExportedMC1 = new ExportedMC1();
var mc2:ExportedMC2 = new ExportedMC2();
//do stuff with mc1

I know for a fact that this won't work, but how do I do this?
I also tried getting the class by string, but that returns a Class class (lol) instead of the movieclip class...
get all MovieClip objects that have been exported for ActionScript from a compiled SWF. It seems like it's something that should be possible, but I've never done/needed to do it until now, and it has me a bit puzzled.I guess I could just export all of the SWFs individually, but I'm looking for a better way to keep track of my items...
View 1 RepliesIn any case I had a question about exporting. You see I imported a flv file (which was converted from a wmv) into Flash Prof CS5, when I did this I got a nice interface to choose a player control skin for the movie. However when I export the movie the player controls are no longer present.I'm doing this simply so I can embed the swf on a website and wish the user to have some control over it.
View 1 RepliesI am having some trouble with a game I am creating. When debuging the preloader does not show until about 75% of the movie is loaded. Before this the movie is just a blank white stage. I have several objects that need to be exported and they have all been changed to not export in frame 1 but this did not help. I unlinked the original class (the stage's custom definition) which acted as the bridge between external classes and the main stage and turned that into a variable. After all this I still can't get it to start before 55%. Anyone know why it is doing this?

We have a number of SWFs that we use as asset libraries.These SWFs each contain a bunch of statically exported symbols.I'm trying to make a tool to help catalog our assets.I want the tool to be able to load these library SWFs and extract a list of all the exported symbols each contains.Is that possible to do?I can't find a way to enumerate or iterate over the exported symbols in the application domains of the loaded SWFs.
(I could swear I saw an example of doing this in documentation somewhere, but now I can't find it... I'm wondering if I dreamed it, or misinterpreted some other example.)I'd be game for doctoring up the library SWFs in some way, e.g. m
I had been using Flash MX 2004 previously to create sprites for video games. In the "export" dialog, there was a check box labeled 'smooth,' which I could un-check in order to retain the hard edges that I needed in order to use the sprites in a game.Somewhat recently, I upgraded to Flash CS4. I have since noticed that, while the 'smooth' checkbox is still there in the "export" dialog, it doesn't do anything.I have tried many different options for exporting, including all different kinds of file types. Through this experimentation, I also noticed:1) that even though it is possible to choose a palette when exporting a .gif, the exported image does not use this palette, and2) that if one exports the image as an Adobe Illustrator file, the colors are wrong.
View 1 RepliesI've imported a multi-layered Photoshop file (that contains layers with elements smaller than the project size... so each layer is alpha with an element floating somewhere on the canvas.I was pleasantly surprised to see that it not only imported into Flash CS3, but also kept all the alpha and successfully exported as a Flash file with the alpha (of each layer) intact. I didn't think it would be able to do that!Anyway, the one thing that concerns/interests me is whether whatever it's doing is compatible on all systems that it'll reach. At first, I thought it was converting each layer into a PNG file, since (to the best of my knowledge) jpegs dont' support transparency, and the layers were not converted to vectors.
So, what exactly IS it doing to each layer? What is it exporting them as? How compatible is that on other systems (browsers, O/S's, etc) these days? Also, are PNG files now fully supported in all browsers and systems?I'd hate to build my whole site, only to find that it's not compatible on some other system....Bit of back story... I'm creating a multi-layered interface (background, then another level with some random loaded swf file, then the 'moving stuff' (nav buttons, titles, etc), and then an odd shaped frame on top of that. Previously, I did it by making everything with Flash vectors... but this time, I tried making all the elements/layers in Photoshop with just bitmaps (rather than vectors), as I wanted a bit more detail.
Originally, I was considering vectorizing them, so it would be all vectors and no bitmaps.... but with all the gradients and details, they would be an inefficient nest of vectors.... quite a mess.So, then I considered doing most of the screen as a bitmap background image, and putting the 'moving stuff' as vectors on top (...and perhaps use masks so that they appeared to go behind the frame and foreground items... but I was worried that (on perhaps other systems or configurations) the image and the vector matte wouldn't align for some reason.
Has anyone tried to open a .fla file exported out of InDesign CS5 to change the Flash Player setting to 9, rather than 10, then resave (or publish) as a .swf file?
If so, how did you get it work work again? What did you do to maintain the programming?
When I publish the file as .swf out of Flash CS5, then upload it to a remote server or view it in a browser window, everything has gone wacky--text is larger in scale than in the original file and the animations (fade in and slide in) on the first page, which I can't get past, run in a continuous loop.
A sore point but can we simply export our apps to the iPhone with CS5 or would we need to "tidy up" some bits first. By the way, would I use vector graphics or bitmaps preferibly not to over use the iPhone processing power.
