I've got this FLA file, and when I preview it from Flash CS5, it works fine, but when i try to open the SWF outside of Flash CS5, it no longer works...
I know its maybe a bit much to ask, but this is my file: db.tt/2xTok2z (its a dropbox link)
I've got a function which looks at movieclips (ball#_mc) which have been placed in a target zone (_ballPlaced[#] boolean). It then decides where to go on each movieclip timeline depending on which other balls have been placed in a target zone.Only the first condition is ever met, i.e. when all the balls are in a zone, they jump to their correct places in their timelines....however, it doesn't work for any of the other 'else if' conditions?
Here's my code...
// function to determine which video to play for each ballprivate function playVideo(event:Event):void { if (ball0_mc._ballPlaced[0] && ball1_mc._ballPlaced[1] && ball2_mc._ballPlaced[2] && ball3_mc._ballPlaced[3]) { ball0_mc.gotoAndPlay("BluYelRedGre");
[code]....
I managed to get the swf to load fine on this page (www.diamondraindesign.com) until I added a full-screen invisible button that goes over the slides. It uses the same counter to sync with them so that whenever someone clicks on it they go to the proper page. Unfortunately, now only the link works to the first page item, and sometimes I can't even see the slides 'loading' text, just a white background. If I take the link button out, the slides are fine. Why is the link interferring, and how do I get it to sync and not stop the slides?

View 1 RepliesThis is a new, legal installation of Flash CS5 running on MacBook Air. Here are the file management problems I'm experiencing:
1) files are excrutiatingly slow to open, close, save, and switch between
2) I currently have a series of about 15 files open and I'm trying to close them - I click "don't save" but the files won't close - it's like I've clicked cancel. I have removed the external media these files were originally on, but if not trying to save the file, why can't Flash just close them and make them go away?

View 7 RepliesBasically, I have alot of text that needs to contain underlines and all that good formatting stuff that flash text can't do. So I created a dynamic scrolling text box, loaded in an external txt document containing all the right HTML tags for flash. But for some reason the flash cuts off the text. It won't show all the text I have. I noticed that it seems to be cutting it off in SOME (not all) areas where I have a hyperlink.
View 1 RepliesI'm simply trying to get Flash to display the first ten characters in a trace, but the results always come back undefined. Here is my code:

lin = testfile.read(10);
trace(lin);
The flash file is in the same directory as the text file.
My company emails our Flash EXE files out to customers. Most of these Flash files use keyboard events to navigate through them, and they load external SWF and video files.So, obviously,I have to package all of my movie files, SWF, and the main EXE into the same folder.In the past, they have simply Zipped the file, emailed it out, and told them which file to open.
I am trying to find a way to take the entire folder and bundle it into a single EXE file.I need to find a permanent solution for opening the main Flash EXE file in a MAXIMIZED window. I don't mean fullscreen.I mean MAXIMIZED.In fullscreen, keyboard events don't work.But, they do in a Maximized window.
