i want to know if its possible to play a .swf movie (other than running the exe) on a pc that hasn't got Macromedia flash installed on it.
View 1 RepliesI bought Macromedia Flash because I took course in Flash about 8 years ago. So,when I was asked by my company's CEO to take a presentation and turn it into a "flash movie" I said, "sure I can do that". Well, I did do it, and it plays fine on the workstation that I created it on with "Macromedia Flash Player 8. However, no one else can get it to play except by opening it with a browser, which is not really ideal for our proposed usage. Is there some sort of desktop player still available that would allow someone (like a sales guy) to just double click on an icon and play this movie? Or is there some sort of way that i can update the movie so there is a desktop player to launch it?

But when the loader reaches about 40 to 50 % the movie starts to play without the loader reaching 100%.
All the code is done in frame1 in the Loader.swf
It's regarding Flash. I have a program that's incompatible with Flash CS4 can I install Flash Studio 8 'on-top' & both still work?
View 2 RepliesI use Flash to develop a movie that runs when a user installs a new version of my companies software, and allows the user to access the user documentation and software installations at the click of a button. I use ActionScript to control the flow of the movie based on radio buttons that the user selects so that they are only provided with information relevant to them.I have been asked if Flash can determine whether a program is installed on the user's computer which can then be used to determine the flow of the movie.

I need to play a swf on a machine that does not have Flash installed. I know I can open it in a browser, but is there anywhere I can download the external (from the browser) swf player?
View 2 RepliesI'm making a platform game, and the game runs perfectly fine as a swf, as long as Flash CS5 is installed. It won't even work if CS4 is installed. When the swf is played standalone, or embedded in a browser (tested on multiple machines). The collision detection does not work well, and the play simply falls endlessly. Has anyone experienced their code messing up somehow when run in similar situations that could provide some insight?
View 1 Repliesi facing error on flash swf when i run my swf long time minimum then 8hr after some time it will raised following error now more surprise it that it's not coming every time and also not coming in all PCs (even same configuration PCs) "A script in this movie is causing Macromedia Flash Player 7 to run slowly. If it continues to run, your computer may become unresponsive. Do you want to abort the script?
View 9 RepliesOn very slow machines (>p200Mhz) I sometimes get an error that says "A script in the movie is causing macromedia flash player 6 to run slowly. If it continues to run, your computer may become unresponsive. Do you want to abort the script?" Yes, No.
I have a loop function that populates a listbox, sometimes the file it loops from is over 2000 lines, and takes a long time for the listbox to populate. In this time I get the error. If I hit No on the error everything works just fine. I am almost for sure there is no problem with my script, flash just thinks the loop is set to infinity or something and pops open the error box.
I have just finished making a little mp3 player that you can view at the following address [URL]I thought it was going to work on every browser but I think IE is doing weird things. I cannot test on IE because I have a mac so I ask you guys to let me know if its working. I tested on Mozilla and its fine.So why in the world would this mp3 player not work on IE?

View 1 Repliesis there a way to speed up flash movies playing when put up on the web. I created a web banner and uploaded it, when I open the website on the browser the flash movie pauses for a few minutes and does not play straight away. Is there any actionscript that will ensure the flash movie will play instantly when on the web? Is it the file size that is causeing the swf to run slower? Is it anything to do with the publish settings in the fla file?
View 4 RepliesI'm SO new to scripting. I find it all a bit daunting I have a Flash movie that runs for about 300 frames, then I'd like it to run backwards once it's reached the last frame, then play again from the beginning, and loop from there.
So really forward end frame reverse loop play again (loop) Is there an easy way to script this? I think I can figure out the first frame, but what would one put at the last frame?
I tried setting the browser as active windows and using SendKeys but it does not work. Is there an alternative ?

View 1 RepliesTo make it short. Macromedia Flash doesnt support Farsi and Arabic language BUT you still can use Farsi & Aarabic in flash. All you need is another program that called "Parspad" that will some how make Farsi & Arabic words appear in flash. To get the program go to this address [URL]. And you will find one of the best Farsi and Arabic editor with almost Hundred beautiful Fonts.
Steps in how to use the program with flash:
1- Open the program "Parspad" then type in Farsi / Arabic whatever you want
2- Go to "Parspad" menu >edit> or Highlight the text and right click copy.
3- Then go to flash and past
4- Select the text you just pasted and change its font to exact font you used in "Parspad"fonts that comes with it.. you have to scroll throw fonts till you find it. It should be about 100 different fonts that works with Parspad, but you have to choose the exact one you used in "ParsPad".

View 5 Repliesi am trying to review flash for our game thesis in school. i am trying to read a pdf file about flash and i am trying to do the examples listed in the notes.but i can't find the location of the project panel. Well i know where it lies if i used my own laptop with the prescribe flash in it. (FYI, i am using the company's installed flash in my assigned computer. i am an ojt here and since i finished their project early, i dont do much here anymore) so as pass time, i study flash for our thesis (my boss doesn't mind. He believed learning is good)The flash installed here i thinks is a bit old version. and honestly, i can't apply what i am learning since the setup is way different.So does anyone knows where the project panel is located? or if it is close, where can i open it?

I have a request concerning font embedding,i'm running flash Cs5 and loving the new embed system but i actually forgot to embed some fonts on a textbox and now, at compile-time the output throws :"Fonts should be embedded for any text that may be edited at runtime, other than text with the "Use Device Fonts" setting. Use the Text > Font Embedding command to embed fonts."I mean that's great, but i'd like to know which textbox actually hasn't got its font embedded so i can fix that (stupid flash )I have a lot of textboxes in this project so it will be long before i have re-embedded everything.
View 7 RepliesI created a website a year ago using Macromedia Flash 8 and uploaded some flv files. (They were quick time movies and I converted it to flv) On my old computer I could view the files online perfectly. However since then we have gotten two new computers that came with Adobe Flash Player 10 and now every time I go to my websites I can't view my flv anymore. I click on the link and it won't pop up. Does this have anything to do with the fact I made the site with Flash 8? Because when I converted the files it said it was compatible with Flash Player 8 or later so I don't know why I can't view it now.
View 7 RepliesI'm missing something obvious, but after looking over the same line of code and settings over and over and not being able to find a solution, I thought it better to just ask on the off chance that it'd be an easily resolvable problem. I've tried googling it, but end up with basic tutorials on how to use dynamic text in flash, which just go over what I'm doing already.
The problem is I have a text field in a movieclip. The text field is set to dynamic text, embedding is set on the characters I need, it's instance name is set to "val", it contains the text string "100%". The text field is contained within the movieclip called "uihp". The linkage on this movie clip is turned on, and has the name "uihp". I can attach the movieclip fine, and it is visible. The problem occurs when I attempt to change the text string. I use the following line to attempt to do that:
uihp.val.text = Math.floor(hp)+"%"; I have tried changing it to the string to "one" instead, but the same problem occurs: The text field doesn't display any text, and the previously present text "100%" vanishes, leaving nothing in the text field's place.
Setting the text field's var value to "test" and using uihp.test = "test" gives the same result as using the above method. I know I'm probably missing something obvious, but it feels stupid to waste so much time over this one aspect of an almost finished project if it could be just a simple thing I'm missing.
