Can't Find Finished Layers In A Personalized Flash Template
Nov 14, 2010
I created a website off of a template, and of course didn't learn the Flash MX 2004 program before I started and just intuitioned through it. Now, the site works great, but I want to edit it and can't get to any of the layers, because I'm sure I've fumbled the organization. Tried onion skinning, and timeline/tween clicking - no go. I'm sure it's the simplest thing in the world, but sometimes the obvious is the hardest thing to see.

I purchased the Adobe CS4 Web Premium for the MAC and a Flash template from ozzu.com. The template contains 201 items in it's library but it's only showing 13 layers in the timeline. When I create a new layer, it display a blank "Layer 61", so I'm assuming there are 60 layers created for the template by the original template designer. When I test the movie, it shows all the buttons, pages, images, text, etc. But when I go to Control and Play, it only displays whatever is in the 13 layers, that is, only a tiny portion of the entire template. How do I display all the images, buttons, text, etc.in the timeline so that they will show up in the Stage area?

Is there any way to change a context menu that already has been personalized. I have an small application that I purchased to learn with and also to save some time. When I right click the context menu appears with the other person's information in it. I want to change that information if it is possible to do so. I tried
var my_menu:ContextMenu = new ContextMenu();
my_menu.hideBuiltInItems();
contextMenu = my_menu;
and added my info but the menu will not change from the person I got the app from. Is this considered unethical or illegal? I put so much work into this, I don't want the person to get credit for it.

SOUND_COMPLETE apparently isn't working!
In short, this is what I have:
ActionScript Code:
var playingsong:Sound;
function loadTrack(track){
playingtrack = new Sound();
[Code].....
I have a trace on trackFinished, and it never happens, so it's never getting called.

i am playing around with the rotationX/Y/Z properties available in flashplayer since version 10. for testing purpose i created a cube and put canvas objects on three sides of it (top, front, bottom) and created a tween to get the values required for turing by 90 deg. turning the cube (a canvas) using rotationX = xx works well when the three side-canvas objects are small and filled with a not-to-complex element hierarchy. when using larger and more complex content it slows down. the next idea was to remove the canvas elements content and replace it by a snapshotimage of the content instead before starting the turn, after the turn is performed the original content is put back on the sides again.
this results in a good perfomance increase. using a tween the last step of rotation is done in the function that is called as the tweenEnd handler. in this function also the process of copying the canvases content back is performed. unfortunately this results in a short hang of the cube right in that last rotation step, the reason for which is that rotation and copying back takes place at the same time. so i could wait for some time after having called cube.rotationX = endValue by using a timer or setTimeout(func, 500), but this is ugly. so my question is: after having called cube.rotationX = endValue a period of time is required to calculate data for the rotation and do the rotation itself. is there a way to find out the point in time when the rotation has ended, so that then the copying can be started ?

I have some code where I am loading a few hundred images into an array in Flash. I am using XML to pass in the list then a Loader for each entry like this -
for (var i:int = 0; i < myXML.item.length(); i++) {
imgloaders[i] = new Loader();
imgloaders[i].load(new URLRequest(myXML.item[i].imageLocation));[code]...
I want to perform some action once all of these have finished loading. The only way I can think of is to increment a count each time one finishes and have a Timer that checks if the count has reached the number of images I am loading.

If you make multiple flash files from the same template and then edit that template, will all those files have those same changes? If not, is there a way to make the same change on multiple files at once? Basically the same idea as linking HTML files to a single CSS file...

I'm looking for the best way to be able to have a user input their name, age, etc, and then place that data into a Flash Story book, to make it personalized. For Example:Name:_____Age:_____BOY/GIRL:____and then for example if the user decided to Enter: (Cooper, 7, Boy) the story would add those variables, so it might say:"Once upon a time, there as a 7 year old boy named Cooper, who lived in flying shoe."Ideally, I would want to be able to have the text auto format so that it looks like a seamless paragraph, no odd line breaks or spacing issues no matter how long the name they entered was, so for example if they entered "Cooper" or "Cooper William Johnson III", either way the text would still flow correctly

What is the trick to develop an SWF that reads user input text and then displays it after submissions? Should I have the SWF read the text from an XML that receives the data? Basically, it is a greeting card and people can send a personalized message to a recipient.

I'm trying to create a personalized gallery, so far it's going ok. What I have is 9 thumbnails, which load an image with an invisible button linked to the button which loads a larger version of the image to the side.
What I would like to do is then click on the larger image and have this pop up in a new window so that the image is loaded on it's own and can be downloaded etc; My thumbnails are loading as follows...
loadMovie("gallery1t.jpg", thumb1.image);
Then when I click on them , I get it to load the medium sized image into the larger image holder.
thumb1.button.onRelease = function() {
loadMovie("", portrait);
loadMovie("", landscape); caption.text = "";
[code]....
How would I then get the image on my flash page to know what image it is showing and then open gallery1l.jpg when clicked. The full sized image.

Is it possible to add layers, re-order layers, move movieclips from layer to layer or specify which layer a duplicate movieclip appears on at runtime with AS3?I am aware of the depth properties and the functions associated with that but it would be easier to have a concept of a layer because I am dealing with masks.I have a nasty feeling I'm gonna be told that layers don't really exist within an swf and that depths and setmask are all there is to work with.

I want to know if anyone knows where I can get a free template that can manage this effect[code]...
If not, can this be done using just ActionScript?
I want this so that I can use it as a screensaver. I'm not graphically inclined, otherwise I would make it myself.
Or, heck, does anyone know of any screensavers floating around that offer this?

I have two questions (I'm a photographer and flash novice):
1) I just bought this flash template (URL...) and I need to edit it. Rewriting the text is easy, I just rewrite it in XML files, but I cant figure out how to change the font, font color and font size. Could somebody tell me how to do it?
2) I also bought this template (URL...) and I cant figure out how to edit name in the header and text in the top menu. I really cant find it anywhere (I dont see it in Adobe Flash and I dont see any jpeg or PSD file in the flash directory...)

I am building an application template in FlashDevelop/Flash, to be used as the template for all our future projects. In a swc-free world, the template has a bunch of library symbols and a whole package of classes in the /lib/ folder that run the whole thing.
What I would like to do, is package all that up into a single swc, so the team can checkout the latest build of the swc from svn at the start of a project, put it in the /lib/ folder and forget about it.
However, all attempts to do this have failed so far. Is it even possible to put everything into one swc?

I tried to search but was unable to find. Just to see if I was publishing incorrectly I took a stock flash 8 template and uploaded it to my server putting all files and directories exactly as they were on the local version. Same result as my published version. Works perfect on my pc when I click the index.html file. All loads smoothly and template works perfectly.But when I load the same template onto the server via filezilla (all loads fine and the file sizes appear to all be correct). All I get is blank page on screen and says done in bottom of page. (Mozilla)SO, on IE I get page error and nothing loads. On mozilla I get nothing at all just blank page and at the bottom it says done?
So I guess what I am asking is: Is there something that I am missing when uploading a flash8 template straight out of the box. No edits no changes just upload to see how it looks from the server?NOTE: On same server I loaded a FULL FLASH template that I even made some edits on and loaded it partially finished and it worked fine. The other template in question is a flash banner template I tried from the free downloads section of template monster (Its the one with the green apple split into sections and stacked off center) couldnt find a name for it or template number

Immediately after finding out I was laid off I began to try and increase my online presence by building a webpage.I found a flash web template that I was able to highly customize however I can't figure out how to add additional hyperlinks, images, etc. This crosses the line between dreamweaver and flash. The flash file is a complied file that flash creates and I can only edit it if I have all the original files (kinda, there are other ways around that). Anyways, I have all the files, I think however I still can't seem to figure it out.
I would like to add additional images, hyperlinks, and maybe even move some stuff around however it seems like everything is either locked down of difficult to modify. I have looked around online for some good tutorials however I can't seem to find any that match what I'm trying to do. Would it be best to try and build the hyperlinks in flash or should I do that in dreamweaver? Dreamweaver I'm guessing, however since I'm editing the site via .xml the insert hyperlink capabilities within dreamweaver are not enabled unless I'm directly editing the index.html. By the way, I'm using CS4 Flash and Dreamweaver. [URL].

I have never messed around with flash before so I downloaded a template. I open it with Flash CS4 and most everything is simple to edit. The problem is I dont seem to find anything about editing the menu/navigation bar.

When I roll over what would be the button section in this template it is set up to be a link, but I don't know how to edit it and add the links I want. how I can get links added into this thing? I can send it to you if you want to see what I'm talking about first hand.

So I have basic flash knowledge but not to much. I'm editing the majority of the template perfectly. When I want to test out how the changes are I export the it into a flash movie, than click on the index.html (which is linked to the flash movie) everything works fine.
Here is where the problem comes in, on one of the pages the template had a bunch of link that I do not want so I delete the links layer. When I do that and export the movie agian, everything gets screwed up it like flips out when I open the file and runs everything double speed than shuts down.
