I have just upgraded from Flash MX (Macromedia vanilla version of flash) to Flash Creative Suite 5 migrating from ActionScript 2 to to ActionScript 3?It has been a while since I have used flash ActionScript on a "medium plus" level As I am currently *attempting* to convert an awesome preloader that I used to use in my old flash projects.
View 3 RepliesI am migrating from Flash MX to Flash CS 5. One of the most annoying things so far about the changes is that whenever I open a file - it opens a tab - How can I stop this? I was able to stop this in Photoshop CS but there does not seem to be that option in Flash CS
View 2 RepliesI'm having some big problems trying to migrate this part of code from AS2 to AS3. I'm newbie, and tried to google examples, but i still can't get it.
[Code]...
I found this code in an AS2 .fla and would like to use it in AS3. (The idea is to throw a random number of copies of the movieclip "star_mc" on the stage via AS).
for (var i =0;i<50;i++) {
star_mc.duplicateMovieClip("star"+i,i,{_x:Math.random()*350,_y:Math.ra ndom()*150});
this["star"+i].gotoAndPlay(Math.random());
}
I get this error message: TypeError: Error #1006: duplicateMovieClip is not a function.
at many_fla::MainTimeline/frame1()
I played around with the new tween tool in CS4, and it seems that the difference is I dont see the tween arrow anymore in the timeline; and there is an easing in the property that has been added. How this has changed from the old concept finally? I see this just like putting some icing on the cake, and nothing would wow me to use this tool.

I finally completed a flash 8(AS 2.0) that uses the netdrims component/Netdrims php file, toload one mySQL database, use it, and then save new to 4different tables in that database.3. This was proven to work on my local, offline PC usingmySQL 5.x, Apache, php 5.x, and myPHPAdmin.4. As this is my first time, I want to upload the mySQLdatabase, html, and swf files to my server.(i.e. migration of completed flash,php,SQL project fromlocalhost to server)5.The host of my Linux server runs appropriate versions ofApache, mySQL, php.6. What considerations are important?Do I need to change the component path from localhost tosomething else? How do I set up the root password to the mySQL database onhe server, etc.

i am using mp3/wav in a flashmx file. when i am hearing it in flash itself (pressing enter) then quality is excellent. but when i am exporting it quality vanished.what should i do.i am attaching the fla file.
View 2 RepliesI'm trying to figure out the AS3 equivalent of this AS2 code. In this example there would be 10 movie clips on the stage with instances of "mp0", "mp1" etc... The actual project has hundreds of movie clips.

var sectorColor:Color = new Color(_root["mp"+i]);

I start flash as3 project on Flash CS3, about one year ago. After compile it on CS4, I get this error (on Russian):
[Code]...
But I get this error only in browser (FlashPlayer10), if I run inside Flash CS4 - all works fine. And I get this error then the MovieClip with TextArea added on stage.
I have an Actionscript project that was building using Flash cs3. Project have TextFields (Text engine: classic text, Text type: dynamic text). Since I upgraded to CS5 and published, I find out that my text not rendered. I use Font family Tahoma. And I just set Font family to Tahoma again and published. After that manipulations my text start render. But when somebody else try to open my project using same Flash CS5 IDE and just published that project again without any modification - none of my text is rendered again. And that going round in circles.
View 2 RepliesI was converting an FLA to ActionScript 3 when I encountered a problem with gotoAndPlay not finding certain frame labels that were clearly there. I set up a loop to trace all frame label names and the scenes they were found in, and discovered that while the labels were all present, they were in different scenes than before. Some groups of labels that had been together in a scene were even split up across multiple scenes.
Is this a common glitch? I tried deleting one label and putting it in again, and it was still in the wrong place.
[Edit]: I added the frame numbers to my trace test and two of the labels share the same frame, and several have ridiculously high frame numbers.
Im trying to open a .fla i got from the internet. Its from 2004 and in flashMX format.
On opening it flash gives an "unexpected file format" error.
Is this a corrupt file or isnt it possible to use this? If the latter, is there a way to convert a .fla from MX format to cs5.5?
I modified Kirupa's Changing Colors using Actionscript and now I am trying to load the swf into my FlashMX page .When I use LoadMovie the color changes won't work.When I use LoadMovieNum into 1 the color changes work but I can't dicate x and y positions and the changing colors swf pops up for every button pushed (because I sent it to level 1).I have tried thisX = _x and thisY = _y and then when I use the other four buttons, those swf are misalligned.

View 5 RepliesIn Flash Professional CS4, I get "migration issue" warnings when I use mouse/keyboard input handler names such as onMouseDown, onKeyUp, etc., even though I have added event listeners for them. These names are perfectly legal for functions, but since these were automatically fired in ActionScript 2.0, we are now (albeit sensibly) warned that their use is no longer automatic in AS3.I understand the purpose of the warnings, but they aren't useful for me. I want to suppress these warnings, but without suppressing any other warnings, which I generally do find useful.I found a flex-info.xml style document in the Flash User Data dir.[userdatafolder]/Adobe/Flash CS4/en/Configuration/ActionScript 3.0/FlexInfo.xml.However, this file contains a disappointing comment: <!-- Flash does not support most flex-config options. -->, and doesn't seem to respond to my directives even after restarting flash. Found an issue "Erroneous, annoying "Migration issue" warnings" on Adobe bug tracker. A fix is confirmed for the Flex SDK, but no mention of Flash...
View 5 Replieswhy the "songinfo" variable (song title and artist) won't always show up. Sometimes, only the "seconds remaining" value will appear. Since that number is based on caculations I'm doing to other variables, I know that I'm getting the variables correctly but I have to sometimes reload the web page multiple times in order for the song artist and title to display.
[URL]
What I've done is to create a Flash-based display for a radio station that shows what song is currently playing on the radio. I'm using actionscript to read in a series of variables from a PHP file (sont title/artist, length of song, and time the song started playing).Now, rather than having the Flash file check the PHP file every 30 seconds and overload the servers, I'm using actionscript to calculate a countdown timer value for me and to only recheck the PHP file when that counter is < 0 (i.e. the song is over).
I tried to remake the random movement tutorial [URL] but at the end the objects stayed all at the same place. So I downloaded the fla at the bottom of the page and when I previewed the animation it also did not work. I use Flash MX on a Windows XP pc.

Just getting into Flash scripting, I'm not sure how hard what I'm trying to do would be. The idea is the links activate when they're drag/dropped above a wire onto which they'd catch/drop if not brought high enough. I've played with gravity some, but haven't been able to figure how to have something land on the wire. Here is what I've put together so far.Anyone using Firefox will notice that the sky's colors are mismatched. Is there a way I can fix that? Looks fine in IE.
View 2 RepliesI'm having a problem adding a library clip to my stage I can do no problem if I have a testFLV.fla that has a library clip called test_clip with the linkage set to: com.attach_clips.Clip.
import com.app.views.mediaDisplay;import com.attach_clips.Clip;
public class FLVTest extends Sprite { private var _mediaDisplay:mediaDisplay; public function FLVTest() { this._mediaDisplay = new mediaDisplay(null); var clip_1_mc:Clip=new Clip(); var clip_1_mc:Clip=new Clip(); this.addChild(clip_1_mc); clip_1_mc.x=100; }}
If I use the same concept in my mediaDisplay class, the clip isn't added to the stage. Obviously it's got to be a scope issue since 'this' in the first examplerepresents the .fla itself but in mediaDisplay this doesn't have a stage object.
package com.app.views {
import flash.display.Sprite; import com.attach_clips.Clip; public class mediaDisplay extends Sprite { public function mediaDisplay(attachControls:Sprite) { var clip_1_mc:Clip=new Clip(); this.addChild(clip_1_mc); clip_1_mc.x=100; }; }}
how I could 'attach' test_clip to the stage from mediaDisplay?
