View 1 RepliesI've managed to follow some drawing tutorias which work fine (mouse down draws a line everywhere you move mouse like MS paint).I would like to adapt this now if I can so that when a user clicks down, a straight line will follow their mouse until they click again and this releases the straight line. This should leave one line on the screen, then they are free to move their mouse and repeat the action again.

I'm looking into uploading an XML file and then storing it's contents in database. It looks like upload method of flash.net.FileReference would do the job however it just gives you an option to upload it to server.
I could upload it to server, read it from that server and then delete that file but I would like to avoid extra work.
Is there a way to just load a file into memory without saving it on some remote location?
I am new to Flash. I bought a template online a couple weeks ago, and for the most part have made all the changes to personalize the page. The page is for wedding videography, and came with a Videos section. However, I do not like the template video player, and would like to have the Videos link on the menu bar go straight to my youtube channel rather than to the flash player. Primarily all changes to the template have been made in a text.txt file, rather than the flash file itself. My question is, how could I change the link on the main page to route to my youtube channel? Here's what it looks like in the text file:

i am still new in dealing with flash and what have you posted is very useful, but i want to ask you a question regarding the button function. i want to relate a button with a certain text but it's a big paragraph so when i have made the example on the site the display in the output box is not good enough i want the text to be displayed as a paragraph not a straight line.

I would like to know if there is a way to make a flash movie that sends information straight to my email with the push of a button. Is it possible? Can it be done without knowledge of the person? I want to have a poll, and calculate the votes by hand, or eye, I suppose. I just don't want to have to set up a server of any kind.
View 1 RepliesThe navigation buttons in my .fla file are set to the font, Arial MT in Bold. It displays no problem on my desktop computer. However, when I view the website on my laptops, the font changes to what looks to be something like Times New Roman. The same thing happens with my "Read More" button text. It's also originally in Arial MT Bold. On my desktop it appears fine but on my 2 laptops it appears to be in Times New Roman. This is more of an issue because I have these buttons underlined. When viewing in my laptops, these underlines appear to be too long. If I shorten it, it'll probably appear to be too short when I view on my desktop. How can I get the font to be one consistent font for all computers?
View 3 RepliesI'm in the process of teaching myself the components of the CS4 Design Premium package using the Adobe Classroom in a Book series. I'm currently going through the Flash CIAB and i've started using the pen tool. The task involves creating a wave like design across the stage. Whilst this in itself is simple, the final instruction is to click on the first anchor point to close the shape. In the illustration, the closed shape seems to automatically extend around the stage, however when I click on the first anchor point, the line automatically connects between the two points in a straight line.
Am I doing something wrong? The next step is to fill this area, but with the straight line effect that I am getting, this becomes impossible. I should point out that the instruction states that the pen tool line should extend off the stage. I have done this, but even then on clicking on the first anchor point the shape is closed incorrectly.
Is it possible to get computer name where the flash program is running? Not on the website, the swf will be run directly on the PC.
View 2 RepliesI have the student edition of adobe flash cs3 and I currently have it installed on my desktop. I was wondering if it is legal to also install it on my labtop. It is for personal use, I don't know if that changes anything. I'm sure this is somewhere on the adobe site, but I can't seem to find it.
View 1 RepliesUsing Migration Assistant on my mac I transferred all my files to another computer. All the other Adobe programs are starting up no problem (Photoshop, Illustrator, etc.) When I try to start up Flash CS4, it just freezes with the message "copying first run files.." and then it crashes.
I don't have the install discs unfortunately (or I would try to re-install) because this was given to me by a company I work for remotely.
Is it possible to retrieve computer information (RAM, hard drive size, cpu speed, etc.) using Adobe Flash?
View 2 RepliesI have pretty good basic "action script" skills for developing flash files and movies, but I don't know how to do dynamic things with asp, aspx, etc. I have a local application that runs form my computer and is not connected to the internet. The application keeps track of button clicks on each buttton as separate variables. Here is my question ... each time the flash movie runs and buttons are clicked, I want to record the clicks on each button (which exist in the application at runtime) and save them to something like an excel spreadsheeet or access database. Any easy way to do this without getting into server-side stuff?
View 3 RepliesI have a glowFilter applied to movie clips on rollover state. When I try and publish from this computer the glow is always red no matter what I set the color to. If I publish on another computer the color publishes normally. Is there some setting in my preferences somewhere that is causing this error or do I possibly need to do a clean install? I created an example attached with the code I am using. The glow is applied with Tweener as well.
View 7 RepliesI was wondering if anybody could help me out and tell me why my flash site looks different on different size computer screens?
I have built a site in flash and when I preview in html it looks different to how it does on my flash canvas (the text is a different size and takes up a different amount of space than on the original flash document). Then when I publish it and make it live it looks different on different size screens. On my laptop the text all fits in, but when I view it on my desktop the text cuts off, so that the last few lines of each text box is missing? What's going on?
I have a website that has a lot of videos. So, I wanted to use Flash Media Server to stream my videos. I was wondering if it is more efficient to get another computer and dedicate it for Flash Media Server. Or is it more efficient to put my website and Flash Media Server on the same computer?

View 2 RepliesI have a bunch of AS3 swfs. They are imported into an AS3 application using a Loader. On 10 or so different computers these AS3 swfs are imported as MovieClips and I can control them as necessary. However, on one computer no matter what I try (casting loader.content as MovieClip, remaking the AS3 swfs from scratch) they are always imported as AVM1Movies.All computers including the one that doesn't work are running Flash Player 10.
View 2 RepliesI'm looking into ways to squeeze performance out of a flash installation.The installation has a huge stage size, 2800px x 2100px, is on a high spec machine, but I'm experiencing low frame rates.I'm wondering what the optimal set up is for a machine running this? Would flash prefer it if the system was set to optimise for background processes etc?
View 2 RepliesI'm making a Flash program to be downloadable and unlockable on one computer on receipt of payment. To do this, I was looking to create a UUID for a computer which could be checked to make sure that the program has not been moved to another computer but I don't know of any way to access enough information about the computer to make it uniquely identifiable (or even close).
I have also considered having a separate program written in a different language which would have access to this information but I don't know if I can even run it from Flash.
I'm creating an online multiplayer game in which I want to prevent players from joining a game using multiple clients/accounts on one computer. I can't simply do a server sided check for the IP-address because I still want e.g. people in the same office to be able to play together.Therefore I'd like to generate some kind of computer ID/hash on the client which it sends along to the server. I know that is easily hackable, but it will stop at least those "cheaters" who can't or won't change their client software.Is there a way to generate such an ID/hash in my game client? It's made in Flash and AIR (there are two versions, browser and desktop).The value doesn't need to be globally unique, because I will check for IP-address + ID
