OK, so i began sifting through the tutorials on the site and found the one on faces and depths in the 3D section [URL]..From my understanding the actionscript creates the cube inside a movie clip, is there a way to turn each face of the cube in to a link/button to the next scene? if so how would it be done?
When i rename face0, face1,face2 etc the cube messes up, is it not possible to change

I'm in desperate search for a professional Flash Developer who wouldn't mind taking a few moments to participate in an interview about a past or recent Flash Project he/she has worked on. Unfortunately for me, I have had 2 people commit to this, and back out. The first completely ignored all messages and inquiries after I sent the information to her. After having no choice but to search for another person, I found another that was eager to help. Two days after I sent him the related material, I received a message stating he wasn't aware that it was a Flash project, and that they don't do any Flash in house, so as of last night, my second lead has turned into a dead end. I am now on my last ditch effort to find someone that would be willing to share their experience with me, so I can complete my assignment on time, which - by the way - is due Friday, October 29th.

View 1 RepliesI've recently made a website (www.doneanddone.co.nz) which has two swf's on it. The first is a sound swf which works perfectly, however, my other swf is a video swf that loops over and over and does not show up now I've loaded it on to my host.I just get this error message.[code]
View 5 RepliesWhat I want to do is this: In my main movie I have 2 variables: movietoplay and tag I want an swf to be loaded into a movieclip(content) when myButton is pushed. This swf contains a variable, called tag1(var tag1 = "guitar"). Then if its loaded, tag and tag1 should be compared, and if they're the same, nothing should happen. But if they are not, another movie must be loaded elsewhere. Basically, I've collected links that belong with the different pages that load into 'content' and those groups should be loaded into the 'links' movieclip. But sometimes, the links for 2 different pages are the same. So I want to check if the links of the page that will come are the same links of the previous page and if they are the same, no new links need to be loaded. But if they're not the same, the new set of links should be loaded. (A set of links always ends with"_link.swf")

Does anyone know which programs work best together with flash for importing graphics that are vector based. I need to know what program a graphic designer should use, so the programmer (me) can easily import the design into flash without much fuss. I know that illustrator is kind of good, but i heard that you could also use indesign.If you know of any limitations or little quirks one has to watch while exporting importing to / from flash or illustrator, had a problem with an illustrator file once that used many effects, it crashed my flash ide durring import.
View 1 RepliesI've gotten far on my own just using online tutorials and dinking around in Flash on my own but my boss(es) are starting to ask for more complex stuff that I simply can't learn by just piecing together my Flash education.I know there's many, many books out there that will teach you Flash but can anyone recommend any particular one(s) that are more concentrated in creating Web elements as opposed to game or animation development?
View 2 RepliesI'm having a problem trying to download FMS developer edition.Basically when I try to download I get a window where I have to update my address data, which I do so correcly.

View 2 RepliesJust looking for more recommendations for great Ojective-C-Cocoa books. My ideal book would be one with actual hands-on walk thru examples increasing in complexity and doesn't spend unnecessary time on basic OOP. Trying to leverage what knowledge I DO have in Actionscript 3. (or maybe its all about unlearning?)
View 1 RepliesI understand Flash CS5 isn't the best way to make an app, but I'd really like to test out the apps I've made with it on my iPhone. Has anyone come up with a way to modify Flash CS5 so it doesn't require a Developer Certificate or Provisioning Profile (like the way you would modify Xcode so you can compile apps without paying $99 for the developer program)?
View 1 RepliesI am a Java developer. I am good at learning new languages but I can't make head or tail of AS3. It seems like a different mindset that I can't get into or something.Could you provide links a AS3 tutorials that explain everything well, preferable targeted for people who have already programmed?
View 5 RepliesI know I could use "BrowserManager.getInstance()" to find out which from URL is my app running, but it doesn't work as I would expect (you can't read url in one line - you have to wait for an event).
View 2 RepliesLike java, you can specify that method you are calling throws certain exception.
For e.g.- public void getListOfAssessments() throws SQLException;
So, is there any way we can achieve this in ActionScript (Flex)?
I've got some nice little animations developed in an Actionscript Project in Flex Developer 4. They work great. I now want to be able to make use of them in a Flex 4 project. How to do this ? I'm guessing must be a SWC in the process. So many hits from google that I can't filter out the correct approach

View 2 Replies1.Have a Flash Webpage under development designed to permit preview and streaming of FLV video.Downloaded FMS Developer as a test server on my computer.Apache 2.2 loads with it with a checkbox option to install it or not. I'm able to stream my video OK in this setup using RTMP://localhost and the FLVPlayback component in Flash Pro.I like some of the OSMF players better like the one in the FMS Start Screen, but I haven't been able to integrate/embed it into my Flash webpage using the HTML provided.They say just paste it to the webpage, but in ActionScript how do you do that?how to embed Strobe Media Player into an FLA webpage using their HTML.
2.I plan to use PayPal Express Checkout for Digital Goods (EC/DG) as my pay facility on the Flash webpage. My videos will play to a cuepoint and then jump to a PayPal button which executes (EC/DG) .I'm having trouble integrating PayPal with my Flash webpage. There's a lot of online help, but most solutions involve PHP. I bought the e-book, "Adobe Dreamweaver CS5 for PHP" which recommends downloading the XAMPP platform which contains Apache, PHP, MySQL etc.
(a) If I use the XAMPP software, as recommended in the Dreamweaver book, do I have to first uninstall the Apache that comes with FMS? I assume you can't have two Apache's running at the same time.
(b) Is FMS the Server or is Apache the server in the FMS installation?
(c) Does the Apache software installed with FMS include PHP and MySQL, which seems to be required for any server-side coding?
I want to use FMS with Amazon Web Services to implement my Streaming Video Project, but I'm not sure I can do it with all the problems I'm encountering.Two final questions:
3.Why would I need Flash Builder if I have Dreamweaver?Don't they do essentially the same thing?
4.I'm trying to do in 1 and 2 above just using ActionScript and JavaScript, which I understand is just Server-side ActionScript?
I am developing a Flash-based application for Facebook. I read many comment that the application need to pop-up dialog for user to decide to extend their permission.The question is, who will record those decision? Facebook or the developer? because it might be a problem if user is asking the court for their privacy.
View 1 RepliesI was wondering which IDE choice you flash developer use to write the code....I use Flex Builder for my AS3 only project so the code below will display nicely with coloring keywords. I wanted to know if there are better choices there...Also, does flash developer do the AS3 programming only? Do they do graphic design at all?

View 1 Repliestutorial on deep linking or using swf address.Also my site uses currMovie for it's page transitions. I've noticed the examples seem to have all their pages on the main timeline. Is it possible to deep link with external swf's?
View 2 RepliesI have buttons in my header and the header has animations on it so I have no choice but to place the buttons deep inside the header movieclip. Now, the problem is that the actionscript on the main timeline can't access the buttons.
Here is a sample of my actionscript:
about.addEventListener(MouseEvent.CLICK, clickSection);
If I place the button on the main time line. I get no errors. But when I place the button deep inside the header, I can't seem to access it.I checked the layers and it indicated "Scene 1", "Header2", "Header", and at the very end of that are the buttons so I tried doing this:
Scene1.Header2.Header.about.addEventListener(Mouse Event.CLICK, clickSection);
I obviously failed.

A project requirement is that it be 1 way deeplinkable(a specific query string will load a section within the swf).I have a URLProxy that I use for all external linking. It makes sense to me to put the query string logic in this proxy. So in the constructor, I check for a querystring, and then send a notification if it equals a predefined value.One problem with this is that I'd like to predefine this query string key value I am checking against in an external xml file. So another proxy, loads-parses this config xml, then the URL proxy checks against this.
