Is there a way to set flash CS4 to automatically save down for CS3? I've been approaching it from the JSFL side, but can't find anything that don't display a prompt, and will just let me save as CS3 instead of CS4.
View 1 RepliesI'm currently trying FDT 4 for Flash/Flex development (was using Flash Builder) before, but I have a little annoyance.I have two projects: GameCommon and GameWeb. GameCommon is a library, compiled to an SWC file, while GameWeb is a thin wrapper around that SWC and is compiled to an SWF (There's also a project GameDesktop which is an AIR wrapper around the SWC).
In Flash builder, the SWC would automatically get built when I edit and something in GameCommon, meaning that if I ran GameWeb afterwards, it would be updated.In FDT however, I have to explicitly run a launcher to get it to build the SWC for GameCommon (after which it will automatically rebuild GameWeb). Is there a way to change this so it works more like Flash Builder?
I just started working with the company I am with, and they have set me up with a workstation with CS5.5 - unfortunately, everyone else in the office uses CS5!
I've been saving my files down each time so they can open them, however, CMD+S after they've been saved down puts them back in the CS5.5 format. Is there any way to automatically save in CS5 format all the time, or for CS5 users to be able to open CS5.5 files?

View 8 RepliesIs it possible to use AS3 to create and save a swf file automatically?By this I mean that I have a folder of images (100+ sequential images) which form a full animation sequence. I could import the sequence directly and use the IDE to do it - but I have 100+ folders so that not really an option!
So as a theory, could it be possible to create an app that inputs the parent directory, reads through the folder, imports each image onto its own frame and exports the swf to a designated area?Its possible using php but MING is unreliable and wont precess interlaced jpg file and other swflib functions are quite poor.

I can save files in CS5 as CS4 so they can be read at college (by Flash) but I have to do it via the "save as" every time I save. After a couple of times, it get rather irritating.

View 5 RepliesI've recently upgraded to Flash CS4. However, the project I'm currently working on was started in CS3 and I need to keep it as a CS3 as I transfer the .fla file between two computers because one only has Flash CS3.

I'm serial Ctrl+S hitter so this is getting really annoying now having to go to File>Save As everytime!
