when I point my cs5.5 directory to a specific location with my AS files, it doesn't work. When I write code in a AS file it doesn't effect the fla. I've tried to put simple things such as:
var hug:int = 24;
trace(hug);
just to make sure. So help? I have everything pointed to my AS source files and stuff. Also my main class works but the other AS files don't affect on the fla.
Is it possible to click on an item in the library and see where it is being used?

Where are the resources located? For instance I have checked out a few samples online and the Main.FLA is empty (with maybe a few movie clips).
There are a few .AS files along with the Main.FLA. Where are these .AS files referenced? There is no ActionScript in Main.FLA according to the Movie Explorer.
If I rename the .AS files, the Main.FLA no longer works, so obviously the names are referenced elsewhere.
Can't find the .AS files referenced in the Movie Explorer, and of the Movie Clips, the Library... where am I missing the references to the included .AS class files?
how do you locate where a movie clip resides if you don't see it in the timeline!? I was handed a Flash file in which there is a movie clip of an antimated button (lets call it button A) that I must swap out with another button (button B), but in order to do that I have to find the instance in which button A is used in the banner animation.
Its been difficult since there are multiple layers and scrubbing through the animation doesn't even show when the instances of the button A reside! The only time I see it, is when I export it. Other than that, I have to scrub through and click on every layer and take a shot in the dark by locating the little movie clip circle - which 9 times out of 10 is not the one I was looking for.
how can i find (possibly with flash ) the listing of sub properties for events?i would not know if sub properties even exist for an event if i'd not done a tutorial stating so.for example.
var listenerObject:Object = new Object();
listenObject.cuePoint = function(evtObj){
trace(evtObj.info.name); //how do i find out if such sub properties exists for events?

I'm trying to use an onUnload transition on several movieClips, but the transition doesn't seem to take effect. the clips are just instantly vanishing. I am using AS based Tweens to handle this, btw.all other clip AS is working correctly.

i dont understand why the easing effect doesnt work on my movieclip_mc ? I see so much fantastic effects we can do but tutorials are not really clear about easing : too much theory and not so much practical demos I m sure something like a basis position and an end position are missing?.

i found this nice Mac OS X Dock Menu effect on [URL] (the second link from the top), the thing is, it only works when it is published for flash player 6 or lower... why it doesn't work when it is published for flash player 7...

I am trying to make a image slideshow for my companies new website. I used the Flash Image Viewer plugin from Dreamweaver, but it doesn't contain the transitional effect desired.
Every tutorial I find talks about advancing the images through an interactive control, I just want the images to change by themselves and do a fade transitional effect between images. Can anyone please point me to a tutorial that has this w/o the intractive buttons? I have been looking on the internet for hours and can only find tutorials / example w/ the intractve controls.
I'm building a flash movie for something at work and im loading in some images using an XML file but when i use a preloader it only preloads the XML file (as in just the text inside) and not the images.
This causes the movie to start playing without having the images loaded.Does anyone have any ideas about how i could get it to preload the contents/images being called in the XML file so it doesn't run as soon as the XML file is loaded.
loadVariablesNum("testimonials.txt", 0);
gotoAndPlay("load");
This code works perfect when testing, and it works perfect viewing the SWF, but when you view the HTML file with the SWF embedded, it doesn't display the text file content.
I am working on Adobe AIR application and some test users report to me about same issue.When they try to save the project file from this application, they have no possibility to add any extension (".txt", ".xml" or any other) to the file.
View 1 Replieshow I can disable clicking through an object so it doesn't effect anything under-neath the object when pressed.
View 9 RepliesI am just curious to know if the amount of classes you import into your flash class, affect the size of the class, the size swf file, or the amount of memory allocated. If so, does this affect take place before or after you initiate the class.

View 14 RepliesI have been searching for a few days now, I keep seeing the question, but no answer. I created a text effect using a mask. It works great when I move through the timeline.However, when I test the movie or publish it as swf or htmp, the mask doesn't work. As I was searching for an answer, I noticed several references to making sure the font is embedded, so I made sure I did, but it's still not workingI am using:Flash Professional CS5Windows 7Flash Player 10ActionScript 3.0

View 8 RepliesI've got this weird problem with one of my Flash projects.At first it was working fine.And then i decided to externalize the actionscript.On the root, there is a movieclip, wich holds a button.When another button is hit, the movieclip appears (goes to frame 2) and displays the other button (only on frame 2).It worked fine, but since i moved the code frome the swf to an AS-file the button in the movieclip doesn't respond at all.For clearer explaining i made a very basic flash-file.Main button (on root): main_btnMain movieclip (on root): test_mc Button in movieclip: test_btn.[code]

I don't have an idea about Flash & ActionScript 3.0. Please help me regarding this issue.Suppose, I have created a simple flash application(say, Test1.fla & Test1.swf file has been generated and works fine). Now, I need to use this swf file in my Java application as son as a menu-item is selected/gets clicked by the user.
But, when I run my whole application in IE7 browser window, If I select the Flash menuitem by clicking on it, then no flash file[viz., contents of Test1.swf file] gets visible.Instead a blank page without any conents is displlayed. In addition to this, it don't/doesn't display any message like this:" Install Flash Player to view the contents of swf file you need."
