I'm working on some optimisation techniques to allow Flash for export my .swf in various file sizes.I need to export the same .swf in a high quality and a lower quality version; so I normally just alter the JPEG quality manually.But I was wondering if there is a method using AS3 that allows me to adjust the JPEG quality dynamically? [code]
View 3 RepliesWhen exporting, you get the little popup window which asks which actionscript version to use and such. There is also a option to reduce JPEG quality, which I really need in order for my filesize to be reduced.However, when I try reducing and saving, the file has the exact same size as my old uncompressed version, and it even looks the same when played.
View 2 RepliesMy swf file is rather large, so I tried changing the quality settings and the publish settings, but nothing I do seems to change the size of the final swf.
View 2 RepliesI have a file I am working on that was coded in AS1 and I need to Publish in AS2 (so I can incorporate an AS2 Gallery I have). When I change the publish settings to AS2 I get errors on a couple pieces of code. I will paste them below and attach an Error Log txt file as well.

Is it possible to change the publish settings - specifically, the file path and name of the exported swf - using Actionscript? Or must they always be set in the Publish Settings dialogue box? Nothing I've seen indicates it can be done, but I thought I'd make sure.
View 7 RepliesI am having a problem with Flash.I get the message Movie not loaded if I right clich where the video should be.I may have set the hardware acceleration on/off by mistake, but I cannot get the Settings manager to open to check it.I am running Feroda rc14.If I go to http:[url].... and right click in to white area at the top, I get the message 'Movie not loaded' and the flash version - 10.2.159.1. This is where I should be able to open the settings window.Where does Flash store that info on my PC? How can I check it/change it without Settings manager?
View 4 RepliesI am creating a flash image gallery, much like flickr. I need the fullsize images to dynamically change size according to browser size /resize. The original images are of various sizes when i load them. I have set the _quality parameter to "BEST" on the clip I load the jpegs into. It actually works pretty smooth, but in between when there is some sharp lines in the image, it looks awfull - the line being cracky and disordered.
View 1 RepliesI turned off all the check boxes in my Publish Settings dialog except for making Macintosh and Windows projectors. Now, when I try to check ANY of the check boxes (Flash, HTML, GIF Image, etc...), Flash crashes.
View 3 Repliesway to set the quality of a loaded jpeg the way we're able to set the quality on library item? It's pretty neat to be able to set the smoothing, is there a similar way to set quality?? Is there an approach anyone would recommend for dynamically setting the quality on a loaded image?

I have imported an FLV file into Flash CS3, and chosen "Progressive Download from a Web Server" as my deployment option.
It appears that none of the stock skins make any provisions for a deployment in "pause" mode, so I figured I would just specify that in the Publsh Settings. It would also appear that when deploying in this manner, all (or many) of the Publish Settings are being overridden either by unseen code in the small generated .swf file, or in the skin's own .swf file.
Is there anyway to publish where the generated movie loads in the browser in paused mode other than embedding the video in an .swf and playing in the timeline?
Since updating to 10.0.2, I have been unable to access the AIR settings (File -> AIR Settings) for my FLA file which is published as AIR 1.5.I get an JavaScript error pop up about "Apollo_OpenSettingsDialog.jsfl" every time I click on the menu option. The same thing happens when accessing the AIR settings through File -> Publish Settings -> Flash (tab) -> Player [Adobe AIR 1.5] (settings).This has rendered my previously working AIR project totally unusable as I can no longer make any changes to the AIR settings. Four months of work is now inaccessible.
View 1 RepliesI'm just getitng started learning Flash CS4(fully updated). I was going through the Flash Downunder tutorials, and creating an interactive player with slider bars to change the 3D X and Y rotation.[code]I get no compile errors (using ActionScript 3.0, BTW) But when testing out the video with Flash PLayer 10 In the publishing settings, the video shows up blank. I thought it may be an issue with windows, but when trying the SWF on a WinXP machine, the same issue occurs.I tried using Flash player 9 in publish settings, and the video plays, but I need to use player 10 to use 3d rotation settings.I'm not sure if this is just a bug with Player 10, or if I'm doing something wrong.

View 2 RepliesYes correct I'm talking about Flash Player 11, thats what it says in Flash CS5 software. Whatever I do in Publish Setting, Flash software always returns option to be Flash Player 11, I don't get this. I choose Flash Player 8 and AS 2.0 and re-open Publish Settings it is again back on Flash Player 11 and AS 3.0.

I'm having a little trouble with my publish settings setup.Let's say that I have a file called MyFirstAnim.fla under the folder AnimSource.Then, I set the swf publish path to ../AnimFinal/MyFirstAnim.swf, and everything is great.Now, I need another file almost identical the first one, so I copy MyFirstAnim.fla and rename it to MySecondAnim.fla.hen I publish the file my MyFirstAnim.swf (under the folder AnimFinal) got overridden.So, I removed the swf part of the publish setting, leaving just the relative path (../AnimFinal/).
Am I smart or not?
In Flash CS5.5 when selecting, Publish Settings: html and swf, the html file does not display the swf from the URL after ftp. The swf file, however, does display from the URL without the html file. My work around has been to hand code the html. Is this a known issue or is there something else that might be causing this to occur?

View 1 RepliesI am developing image uploader for Flash 10. Is there a way to read jpeg quality of the browsed images.
View 1 RepliesEver since I got the hang of AS3 and discovered FlashDevelop, I pretty much abandoned fla.Back in the days, before switching to it, lack of alpha channel support by the .jpg format was a non issue, since Flash IDE allowed to embed png images in the library and apply lossy jpeg compression to them while retaining their transparency data.Programmatically, however, I'm only able at the moment to embed either flat jpegs, or lossless, consequently unacceptably large, transparent pings. (Indexed gif is not practical in the context/nature of the pictures to be embedded.*)
Is there a way to "JPEG-ize" pings at compile time using only code? Perhaps there are some parameters to follow [Embed(source = 'transparent.png')... that are not known to me? Obviously, I'm aware of such acrobatics as loading/embedding a external swf published from Flash IDE containing the bitmaps, or storing the alpha channels separately, ets but I wonder if this can be done elegantly to satisfy code purism.While GIF is great for storing pixel art, icons and whatnot, for smooth/soft images using way over 256 colors, its quality/compression ratio is rather unfavorable. Additionally, it only supports 2-bit transparency i.e. aliased edges.
I've updated action script for a huge number of .flas to AS3 but forgot to change their Publish Settings to Flash Player 10 and AS3. "MovieClip(this).stop" for example does not work in their swfs.
Is it possible to change these settings by batch processing all of the .flas at once? (Through a Mac Automator droplet or text editing the .flas, etc...or ___?)
I have tried having Permit debugging ticked and not ticked, but I sense no differences. How does it work?
View 2 RepliesI have MP3 files with finely-tuned compression from an audio app. If I use them in my Flash movie, and disable audio compression in "Publish Settings"... will Flash definitely not touch the files and use whatever MP3 compression settings the files have?

View 1 RepliesI made a 'whiteboard' app. Originally it was for Flash Player 7 then I changed the Publish Settings to point to Flash Player 8. Worked fine for me, but caused problems with my customer, so I changed Publish Settings back to Player 7. When the customer opened up the .swf which I'd emailed him, it opened in Flash Player 6, even though he had the latest player installed. When he deleted the old V6 player the problem was fixed. So my question is, why did my .swf open Flash Player 6 - and therefore lose some of it's functionality - when the customer had a later player installed?
View 2 RepliesIs it possible to publish to a relative path in the CS3 IDE? For example, I have my folders set up in the standard bin, src, lib configuration where the .fla is in the src folder and I want to publish to .swf to the bin folder.

View 1 RepliesI have a movie that loads images from an external source based on paths contained within an .xml. As far as I can see, there is no restriction to the size of the loaded image, which are are JPEGs, hence flash will not have these images resized. The images look fine when loaded in Photoshop or viewed separately, but the quality is just awful when loaded within the movie.
I've tried the usual hints like increasing JPEG quality in Publish Settings, but understand that since these images are not imporated into Flash CS5 before compiling, but are instead loaded when the .swf is run, these settings would not have any effect.
