View 4 RepliesWe used Flex to build the web app below. It lets the user build an interactive activity and click "Publish as Flash" to save a SWF file on their local computer.[url]...
Problem:When saving the file, the "Save As Filetype" drop down is empty and end users can accidentally delete the swf file extension in the filename.How can we lock down the extension so it will always have SWF in the extension?
Technique 1? Set "Save As Filetype" to SWF by default.
Technique 2? Click "Publish as Flash". User specifies the filename. File is saved on the server. User presented with prompt to download file. File is downloaded from the server using the traditional browser windows explorer dialog box (the same dialog box if I downloaded a program from cnet's downloads.com)
I am using the Loader object to load an image into my flash file. The problem is that, the image file is being copied over from a server to the local machine by some other software, and my flash file tries the load that image while it is still being copied over. The result is that the file is sometimes corrupted.Sometimes the whole image loads, sometimes only half of it, or just a few pixels.. it varies everytime.

I am running a specific frontend software that is a flash executable- unfortunately it lags heavily on execution despite the fact that I have a very nice video card installed.

View 4 RepliesHaving installed Amara flash slideshow builder it failed to run stating my flash was not installed or out of date. I knew this was not the case but uninstalled and re-installed flash anyway. I tested it on the adobe site, all ok and also tested it on a couple of sites using flash. All ok. Same problem with Amara tho', not recognised.So downloaded SWF 'n slide, another slideshowmaker. It also failed to recognise any flash installed (with dialog).Following some research I downloaded SubInACL from microsoft and ran it to ensure all my permissions were ok, but seems they were ok as it hasn't changed anything. What do I do now? I'm kind of stuck, I really need a flash slideshow builder, but seems they won't run, why?
View 3 RepliesIs it possible to start a seperate flash application from a main flash application. I really want it to be like how a messenger works... where the chat window is independent of the parent program and the user can minimize it or move it around the screen. I also need to be able to pass variables to the "chat window". I am thinking about using something like fsCommand maybe.. but I would also like the child window to be a swf and not exe file.What I got is a parent program that will be responsible for child programs The child programs will be started using variables that the parent initializes the child with (flashVar). The child window will be similar to chat windows such as Yahoo messenger.

View 1 RepliesI am trying to learn Flash Professional from the CS5 Design Premium programs. I have the Adobe CS5 Design Premium Digital Classroom to go along with the programs. One of the classroom projects is to add TLF text to your graphics. But it doesn't work. I can get the Classic Text to work but this is no use to other lessons when most refer to the TLF text. Even one lesson file you open has the completed work that you are to refer to and the text is not showing up in it. I have Windows 7, Flashplayer 10, and ActionScript 3.0.
View 6 Repliesim new to CS5 but alot of my Action Script 3 tutorials and books require me to install it, (namely to create MovieClip files). My question is I intend to write software using flash that I can then sell commercially but im confused as to what licence I would need to do that? or if my CS5 licence would need to be valid for as long as I sell my software..... so far I have the trial version of CS5 Pro to continue coding but after reading this part of the user agreement (see below) it suggests that I cannot sell software with any 'output' files I produce during the 30 day trial... is this correct? what licence, if any, do I need to sell my flash programs created using CS5 Pro and will I need to keep it renewed once the program development is finished?

View 4 RepliesSo I've decided to at least have a fallback option outside of cs4 for all further projects by using a shared library (IE, my graphics in a separate swf)So, what are some programs that would allow me to do this? Preferrably something that can take illustrator files. Anything thats going to let me package graphics for as3/flash 9+I looked at swfmill, but does it function with as3? I couldn't figure this out, it looks like it was last updated in 2005 and the tutorial was still talking about attachmovie (which is deprecated)A program like this would be useful for new versions of HaXe as well. Having everything you're developing thrown in a single .fla is awful for a lot of reasons

View 6 RepliesI'm trying to develop a "virtual" video driver based on ViVi project example. It's virtual since it doesn't interact with any camera. It gets a video stream from a user program (C++) and also it acts as video driver for another user program (Flash) which displays the video stream.
So, if I have a /dev/video0. One program needs write frame to it and another reads one from. Is that possible? I need this because Flash doesn't recognize this camera, so I use a virtual driver as a bridge from my grabber (which uses the real driver) and Flash.
what are those software programs called that can read text that you input it?does anyone know of a free one online one that I can get it to read certain text fields for me?

View 4 RepliesThis is somewhat of an unusual topic, but hopefully you guys will have a reply that will allow me to go on. I am working on a 2D game following an unusual workflow that is very much 3D based. The workflow is 3D based but the game is flat! This is very important: Graphics are flat images.
Here's the general question. I need a Flash library that loads and is able to deal with 3D models, orient them and convert them in various ways to 2D BitmapDatas. Do you know anything that can do this? To elaborate, I was thinking of the best possible workflows for myself and artists' needs and there is one that I would really enjoy but need serious help to break through. Here it is: Import a textured 3D model from 3DS Max or other similar tools, into Flash At runtime, orient the model the way I want and draw it to BitmapData as a flat 2D colored image. This image is what is supposed to be displayed ultimately. Ideally there shouldn't be a need to display the model at all; just like you can draw MovieClips into BitmapDatas without adding them to the display list. The 3D model is non existent to the user, it's only a workflow convenience for developers, it's a data holder as well as a means to reduce file size.
- Still at runtime, I have to be able to generate a height map: Basically a BitmapData entirely black with, instead of the real texture, a gradient along the 3D Y axis that would have the same 2D shape as the model under its current orientation (i.e. it overlaps perfectly with the flat 2D colored image we made earlier; let's call colored images diffuse maps.) Remember it's along the 3D model's Y axis: If it's a character and its orientation makes the model's shoulder have the lowest Y 3D coordinate while his hips are the highest, the gradient will start from the shoulder. (i.e. it's not always "feet to head", depends on the model's orientation.)
my friend and I are trying to make a GUI for a CD that autoruns when you pop it in your computer. Now my friend can write the batch files to autorun the swf, but i guess what I'm actually asking is how to run programs or batch files from flash by clicking on a button. We tried just useing the getURL AS to link it but it doesn't run it (kinnda makes sense now...).

View 3 RepliesI'm wondering if there is an effective way to insure a .swf file uploaded to "Website A" will refuse to run on any website outside of "Website A". I recall years back that AS2 could compare the .swf file's URL location to a URL String, something like:
ActionScript Code:
if (_root._url != "http://www.mywebsite.com/content.swf") {

I'm using a preloader on my website. The preloader works fine on Internet Explorer, however when I tested it in Mozilla and on a Mac (running Netscape) there is a lockup on the preloader. The screen will just sit there and the website doesn't load. Both were running Flash Player 6 which is the version I'm aiming for. I found that if I refreshed the page the site would begin to work, but I doubt visitors to my site would do this and I don't want it to be required to get my site to work.
Heres the action script - from the first frame of my launch movie
Code:
stop();
function loadSWF(theURL, theTarget) {
loadMovie(theURL, theTarget);
loaderInterval = setInterval(loadChecker, 50);
}
[code]....
As you can see I call the loadSWF function to load menu.swf into the holder1_mc movieclip. That function then sets an interval with the loadChecker function that acts as the preloader. This is where nothing happens on some browsers (yet it works fine in IE).
I've created a slider control (using the excellent tute on kirupa) and am using two instances of it on my stage. I also have a lock that sets the variable locked to true or false. What I want to do is if locked == true have both sliders move simultaneously to the same values if either one of them is dragged...

I'm doing a website for me, with flash... I want that the site is "full browser screen" but, I need that only the background is stretched for the size of the browser window, all the other elements (like nav bar, logo etc) will be in the same position, and MUST NOT be stretchet like the background...
How can I lock the position and dimension of the element of the website, but let the background stretch?
I would like to create geo locking module which would react per-file/stream. This means that one particular file which will be streamed via FMS can be geolocked to one country (e.g. Lost can be viewed only by USA viewers (IPs)).Flash video player connects with nc.connect() and plays file with ns.play() method. Geolocking would happend on ns.play() since some files/live streams are locked to some countries (not everything is geolocked and once they are, are not geolocked to same countries so everything happend on per file basis).
Can this module be done in Actionscript or is it necessary to use C++ module?
