I have .fla document that contain an .flv file in its library.
I'd like to separate the .flv file as a standalone file.
When Right-Click the .flv in the library and choosing properties, the Export command is inactive.
I have a question about a library one would create inside a Flash document. I have a bunch of pieces of graphics objects inside a library for a FLA file. I then drag these pieces onto stage to build a more complex object. I then select all those pieces and group them and convert this new object into a movie clip. From there I move it into the library for that FLA file. I notice there is both a graphic for this object plus the movie clip for that object. To me these are 2 separate objects. So when I delete the graphic of the object, it also deletes the movie clip I created of the object.
View 5 RepliesI need to change text in all textfields in my .fla file (Flash CS3).Looks like i should call JSFL function "fl.findObjectInDocByType("text", fl.getDocumentDOM())" and it would return all elements, but it returns zero length array. I there any another way to iterate threw all library items, and change values of TextField's in MovieClips ?
View 1 RepliesI am very new to ActionScript. I have a .fla file which contains the AS2 code for the frames. What I need to do is that I have to export this code as a separate file. There may be a separate file(or class file) for each frame code. Is it possible to me do it automatically without losing animation interactivity and functionality? Or is there any other way?
View 1 RepliesIs it possible to export text from a text field, which has been created in Flash and export it into an external file such as a text file or Word document?The idea is that information will be collected by the user into a text field within the swf. Hopefully, this information can then be exported into an external file which will allow the user to work on and edit at a later stage. It needs to be a separate editable document. Is this possible? I'm using Flash 8.
View 1 RepliesI have a symbol named picHolder. In symbol properties under linkage, I chose "Export for ActionScript" and "Export in frame 1" and gave it a class name of picHolder.Normally, to instantiate a new instance, I'd say:
Code:
var tempPic:picHolder = new picHolder();
and I'd go about my way.

I would like to keep my project library tidy, which means deleting symbols I end up not using. However, I want to be able to find these symbols later in case I do end up wanting to use them for a related project. Can I create a library outside of a project, so I can drop these items into it for later use?
View 1 RepliesI am currently wondering if it is possible to load a swf that is sitting on another file server. I.e. I currently have a custom play bar swf which is embedded on a website (behind the company's firewall) which then loads swf content (currently in the same folder on the website server). The problem I have is bandwidth between remote sites is limited and streaming the swf content from the website server is not an option, however we do have a DFS set up to push all the swf content out to local file servers.
I have tried using a file:// path which works if you create a windows projector file however it doesn't work when embedded onto a website as it seems to try to access via http which the file servers are not set up for. So is it possible to get the play bar swf to load the swf content sat on a remote file server?

View 1 RepliesI'm an AS3 noob who is trying trying to get more comfortable with passing arguments into functions.why when the following code is all in one AS3 file as seen below it works and draws the purple square...

Got two classes "Engine.as" and "Player.as". Engine.as is the document class that is calling Player.as.
The point is to have Player.as create a movieclip on the stage, but it seems it cannot access the library or something. Because when the player class is at the createHero() method it gives me the "error 1009 cannot access a property or method of a null object reference"
Engine class:
Code:
package test{
import flash.display.*;
import flash.events.*;

I'm trying to figure out how to add a movieclip (called menuList) from the main fla library to the stage inside my document class. Up until now I've just created new mc's or used ones already on stage in the fla but now I need to add directly from the library. In the following example I've tried to create a variable, type it, and define it as the menuList_mc object but I just get the 1120: Access of undefined property menuList_mc message. What am I doing wrong here?
ActionScript Code:
public var menuList:MovieClip;
public function createMenuList(event:Event = null):void //called by constructor{
menuList = menuList_mc;
//addChild(menuList); will do this after i properly define menuList
}
1. I've got a Main Document class, that loads external swf each with its own document class (they are pages and pieces of the site).
2. The Main class makes use of some movieclip simply instantiated from the GUI library. It all goes fine.
3. The external swf have references to the Main class, and here start problems: when I compile them, I get an error for every library mclip used by Main. See the attachment. A simple trace(Main) is enough to start getting all that errors.
A partial solution is to uncheck Strict Mode in publish settings
Is there any "mainstream" library used for this purpose? Commonly spread, well maintained, documented etc.I found these (using flash):
Uploadify - not many releases, latest 12/2010, no documentation (!)
SWFUpload - latest release 03/2010, documentation
fancyupload - looks buggy.
phpfileuploader - looks heavyweight, and looks commercial (?) I cannot read the licence (you can download it but are you allowed to use it forever without paying?) plupload New version of pure javascript (no flash) Valums' ajax upload claims to handle file size limit and progress bar, which is quite suspicious to me: these features require to guess the file size before the upload, which seems impossible in javascript (look also here). Or can it work?
I've started trying to get into AS2 and all of a sudden, I don't know how to attach a movieclip from a document's library to the stage! The debugger's saying that attachMovie isn't a method. Just to clarify, I have an external as file which is defining a class and in that class, I want to attach a movie from the library to the stage.
View 4 RepliesI've been running circles around this preloader I have for days now. There's a number of problems, but the main one I can't seem to figure out is how to retrieve a library asset from an external class that's not the document class.I have a Preloader_mc class in the library. But the Document.as class doesn't need it really. I only need it once I instance the actually Loading.as class. So I'm trying to access it from the Loading.as and I'm not getting anywhere.I also gave up by instancing it in the Document.as and then referencing it by:
Code:
Master.preloader_mc
or
Code:
Master(root).preloader_mc
Static or not, I just wanted access to the thing for once. Which worked until I had to remove it from the Loading.as. Then it wouldn't budge no matter what I typed.
I have 2 files one that says it is a flash document with the extension .swf the other says Shockwave Flash Document also with the extension .swf.
How do I save my .fla file as a flash document (.swf)? I dont think I want it to be a shockwave flash document.
What is the difference between the two?
In my child swf I am using the sound from library with "attachSound". I also use the play/pause button controls of this sound alongwith the other animation.Now when I load this into my main swf file with "loadMovie", It plays fine but no sound. I found that this is due to no sound linkage in my main file library.I want to share my child swf's library with main file's library.
