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?
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 8 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?
Is 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 work as a Flash Developer. There are lines of code I use maybe hundreds of times a day that I have to type out each time. Is there any way to save these custom lines of code to the ActionScript tools library?Or would there be a way to save a custom component that enters the lines of code automatically?

The problem comes to when i want to update the XML file. how do i do that automatically without prompting the user (ofcourse).

here's my code right now, but it prompts the user where it wants to be saved, which i don't want to happen:

View 6 RepliesAt my college, they have CS4 (master suite) and at home I've got CS5 (design premium). 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. Is it possible for me to save in the usual way (as if it was a CS5 document) without the save as dialog every time I save my work?

View 21 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. Is there way of setting it so when I click 'Save' or Ctrl+S it saves it automatically as a CS3 fla, rather than automatically converting it from a CS3 to CS4 file? I'm serial Ctrl+S hitter so this is getting really annoying now having to go to File>Save As everytime!

View 2 RepliesI have a question regarding linking to an URL. I have a text button that I want linked to a URL when clicked. I am using ActionScript 2.0 not 3.0 thus have very limited tutorials to review.
I am currently using the following script on the button:
on (release) {
getURL("http://www.signaturehill.com")'
}
This works but there is a glitch.It is not waiting for click/release ... it is "automatically" going to the url without waiting?
Is there way to have it "wait" for the click? I do not know what code to ad in Action Script 2.0 to do this since I used the Script Assist for the URL command under Global Functions. I have uploaded the file incase you wish to view.

View 2 RepliesI have an .flv file that I was able to extract from a YouTube video. The video belongs to a friend and she wants it on her site without the YouTube wrapper it now has. I want to put it on her website and have it play automatically when the page opens. I cannot get this to work. I can get a link to show and when I click on it, it prompts me to save it or play in media-player or such. Then it will download and start to play.What I'd like is for the page to just start playing the file when the page opens.
I've seen sites where a .flv file is hosted and when going to the page, the video just plays. I've never worked with these files before. I have worked with Flash some and created .swf files for the web. Never, just a .flv file.
I have a flash movie, but it is not loading when the page loads. Instead, I have to right click and click "play".This is the code I am using:

I have been given the task of converting a macromedia application to a web app. It seems the application begins with the shell.swf once the exe is started. I have experimented with embedding the project's different swf files, and one thing I've figured out is that entire project works without the exe if the the shell.swf is somehow started. I've been opening and running the shell.swf with CS5.5 flash professional. *I do not have the source project.
This leads to my question. All of the swf files of this application autorun when embedded into an aspx, except the shell.swf, which appears to be the directing file of the application. How can I get this shell.swf to autorun from an aspx load event? I pretty much need to mimic the Flash Professional's play button. This is an interactive application to educate young people about the Buffalo river, and it is somewhat robust. I am almost certain that once I can get the shell.swf running on a webpage, the entire app will run it's course.
I have been working with AspNetFlash, but I have not been able to achieve the desired effect. I need to get this running so the client can utilize the program over the next few months while I am re-writing the application to store user interactive data.
When you use funky/weird fonts in a fla are they embedded automatically like a PDF file? So if the viewer doesn't have that font they can still see it?

This seems like a very simple problem (might not even be a problem at all), but I can't figure out for the life of me.
Everytime I open up a new window, and as I randomly begin to draw in pencil or make rectangles, when the focus on the window is changed to somewhere else my drawings just disappear.
I have a MC called rectangle, and inside I drew a rectangle with a width of 100,0, placed it at the center and linked the mc to a class of the name name (Rectangle)however, when I create and instance of Rectangle and I trace its width it says 149.5, I didnt make any change
