We generate a LOT of swfs where I work. We've got a group of people managing putting the swfs into our asset management system. These people do NOT have flash or anything adobe. However, they need to be able to determine the AS setting on the swfs. Is there a tool (preferably cheap or even free) that can be used to determine the Actionscript level of a swf?

View 1 RepliesI fell in love with Macromedia Flash 5 a decade ago but i never got to grips with Actionscript. For the last ten years i have been using Flash 5 for drawing and animating really simple movies. It's time to change!Unfortunately the last time i considered upgrading (Flash MX) the new interface was simply too complicated for me and the walk-thru tutorials that came with Flash 5 (which were brilliant) were no longer there.Can you please recommend a recent version of Adobe Flash that will support the learning of a complete newbie to a stage of basic Actionscipt competence?
View 5 RepliesIn FlashBuilder's compiler options (Properties->Flex Compiler), under "Adobe Flash Player options" there is an option for "Use a specific version", where you can tell it what Flash Player to link against:
How do I get this value at runtime? Note that I am not talking about the Flash Player version, but the version that the swf was linked against.
Is the flash version installed on, say IE, on a single computer the same version on other browsers installed on that same computer ?
View 1 RepliesMy artist just upgraded to Flash CS5, and ended up with Flash CS5.5. I've got Flash CS5, and can't read his files. "The document 'blahblahblah.fla' was created with 'Adobe Flash Professional CS5.5' and cannot be opened in this version of Flash." Did Adobe really bollix up the normal convention of software version numbering(#.001 - #.999 signifies compatibility) or is there something else going on?

View 2 RepliesI am trying to work with a flash application in windows CE.
the folder containing the files has several .swf files in it. We'll call two of them abc1.swf and abc2.swf.
I have created two html pages which when viewed on my PC open up either file and view it just fine.
<html>
<body>
<object width="550" height="400">
<param name="movie" value="abc1.swf">
[Code]....
However, when I copy the directory to my windows CE 6.0 R3 device, the page that opens abc2.swf shows correctly. But the page that is supposed to open abc1.swf just shows a blank white area.
I am pretty sure that the abc1.swf is only supposed to redirect to abc2.swf (or put within a frame) given it's 1kb size and the fact that I can see the text abc2.swf within it when opened in notepad.
I've been told that the flash player built into Windows CE 6.0 R3 is only capable of supporting flash v8 or less. I suspect that perhaps the issue with abc.swf could be that it was built with a newer version of flash such as v9 or v10.
Is there any way for me to tell which version of flash a given .swf file requires using only freely available tools? Or, does anyone have any other theories about what would cause abc1.swf to work on my PC but not on my windows CE device?

I am using Flash CS4 and the new 3d tool, so need to publish my SWF for Flash player 10.The problem I am having is that when I view the SWF on machines with Flash player 9 it obviously doesn't work. It would be nice if only the 3d didn't work, but none of the actionscript works, so my files loops ad infinitum.I'm sure many people have had this problem (and it seems to me a bit of a lack of foresight from Adobe).I have found some JS code to detect whether the user has flash or not and then display flash or an image, but I would like to detect if they have flash and which version it is, and then display either an image (if no flash) or a Flash 9 SWF or a Flash 10 SWF.
View 2 RepliesI've just got back to webbydesign and Flash after a long break! I'm bit concerned about the fact that many public computers do not have updated Flash player in their browsers and therefore can't show content designed with CS4 correctly, or at all!
I can't check this myself right now, but if I select ie. Flash version 8 in publish settings using Flash CS4, will this disable all version 10 functionality while designing my site? As far as i know, v10 supports 3D and whatnot fancies, that I don't need atleast for now.

View 4 RepliesI've just stumbled upon a case when Flash app freezes in production Flash Player and works smoothly in a debug version. It doesn't throw any errors or exceptions. Has anyone ever encountered anything like this? Why is it happening or how one is supposed to debug in such case?And a side question - what exactly is different in debug version from internal point of view? Any good writeup on the topic?
UPDATE:I didn't mention, but the trouble is with Flash Player 11, it probably matters, cause Flash Player 10 doesn't have any problems with the same code.
