View 3 RepliesI have a movie clip that I imported into flash, used a skin and have a nice little player for this website intro. I want to proceed to the sites home page upon completion of the movie. Searched but the best I could come up with was;
player.addEventListener("complete",function (event:Object) { trace("doneVideo");new URLRequest("my link");});
The File This is the file I have troubles with:
Code: [URL] What do I want to do? I downloaded a pre-made flash intro, and all I have to do is change the text of it, but I can't find out how!
When I ctrl+enter my movie, I see as first sentence in my flash intro "Creative Expression". I want to change that to another word.
When I go to my library, I find a lot of "sprites", and one of them has different layers in a timeline. Including the text layer I guess, because when I hide this layer, the text does not show up anymore in edit-mode. When I watch in edit-mode all the text in this layer, all the text are words "Text".
BUT when I ctrl+enter, I see other words, like "Creative Expression" as text.
In the library I can also see "sprites" in the library with as content the looks of the text "Creative Expression". But instead of "Creative Expression, the word in the "sprite" is just "Text".
So what did I do: I changed the word "Text" to my word and ctrl+enter'ed but I still see "Creative Expression". BUT in edit-mode I see the correct text (my text)
When I save, and export, I still see the words "Creative Expression", eventhough I changed it to my word.
When i make my flash intro to a movie my text wont show up can some one help??

View 2 RepliesI need to make it so that my client can edit some text files that are displayed in a frilly little font with shades and all that "mainflashpage.swf" accesses to display it. I heard you can do a lot of things like this with php. I know NOTHING about php. So is there any way that I can use flash to edit a text file? I remember about using void at the end of declaring a function if your not returning data.

View 1 RepliesIm working on a project which includes a text editor in Flash which works perfectly but im trying to alter the code so the editor works over several input boxes rather than just one. Using Flash CS4 btw. Here is the actionscript im working with. If someone could give me some pointers as to how to allow the code to edit text in multiple boxes i would be eternally grateful.
[Code]....
i'm trying to edit the text of a Flash project/website. The flash project structure is as follows:
- Main.fla
-- Section1.fla
-- Section2.fla
-- Section3.fla
-- Section4.fla
The Section3.fla file contains the text I need to edit. I notice that the text is visible inside the library:
"/Sprites/sprite 11" file
and
"/Text/text" 10 file
But when I try to edit the text 10 file I get the message: "This symbol is imported from a Shared Library. If you edit this symbol, it will no longer be imported. Do you want to continue?".
If I click Yes and edit the text and replace the Section3.swf with the new one, the website still shows the old text.
I used to have a little text panel (that sat with the color, swatches, and align panels) that I was able to open up and edit text size, color, underline, etc with. It had a much better text editing ability then the properties panel, seeing as the properties panel does not even bother to allow me to underline text or to highlight and edit a single word in a whole text box. Now I don't have it, I can't find the damn thing anywhere, and I want it back. How can I get it?
View 1 RepliesIf I have an FLV that I've output as SWF with skin to have embedded into an HTML page, and now a 'skip intro' is needed - though I'd have to make note of the actual time or keyframe in which the intro completes...How is this possible? Clearly, a button would need to be added for that kind of interactivity?
View 3 RepliesI'm edit a flash file that uses about 11 different fonts. When I toss it into the editor and publish it some characters are missing from the product, such as W's and M's. I've installed the fonts that were included with the flash file into windows7.

View 12 RepliesI am wondering the capabilities of the SWF Format. I have some text in a Flash Video, which is an email address (xyz@somewhere.com) which I would like to write a C# application to edit. I have the SWF File Format Spec and was wondering if the following is possible: If I read in the Tag (I am assuming this text is stored as a Static Text Tag, correct me if I am wrong). Once I found the correct tag for my text I then change the value in the tag and save the SWF file.
View 1 RepliesI'm actually relatively new to flash and actionscript but I could say I have fair knowledge about them. So anyway, I usually build flash websites the traditional way using timeline animation and scripting. Today I had a job interview and they said they're looking for someone who can develop any web design into a Flash CMS with a back-end office for the client to edit the content without having to edit the FLA file or any code.
Accordingly, I'd like to know where and how to start. What are the main concepts I should follow/adapt?
I am editing a website but flash wont allow me to edit the text-box size, I can only make it wider, not taller. Does anyone know how I can fix this?
View 3 RepliesI am new to flash. I have had this flash header up on my companies website for live for over a year now[url]...
I want to be able to change the text for the different menu options. (ie. swap About Us with Products).
I am fairly computer literate, yet having a hell of time trying to figure it out in the flash editor. All of the button just say Home and they seem to be drawing from some root, but cannot figure out where that is or how to edit.
One day after I wrote a paragraph of text and saved itI am unable to edit it.a misalignment and consequently the left and right arrows are unreponsive.Also when I highlight the line of text I want to work with as soon as I place the text iconover that line and click the software creates another layer instead of remaining in the layerI've specified
View 4 RepliesI'm trying to edit a .fla file. It's actually a flash game, a dating sim game to be specific. Now, the game has dialogues where you have to press a "next button" so that the next dialogue will appear, but I've noticed that all the dialogues are gone, they're not appearing at all. It's just a blank space. At the same time, the game has dynamic texts like money, energy and name of the player but likewise it's just an empty space. I've noticed that when I exported the game as swf. The text appears but it's distorted. For example the dialogue "Where am I" would appear as "a aa ii". I've also noticed that when I opened the .fla, it says that there are fonts missing.. I dont know if that has something to do with this..
View 3 RepliesI have created a simple Flash object that presents some text; it's a rotation of testimonials. The client wants to be able to edit/add to the items. He's going to maintain the site once it's handed off through the use of Dreamweaver; I've used templates to lock down the sensitive areas, and as it's a CSS based design there are many.
Is there a way to get rotation of text without having to create the media to do it? I've tried to explain that when a page loads, it's loaded -- it's the media's job to play the pretty things. He says someone told him this would be a piece of cake in various content management softwares, but I'm convinced they meant he could edit one area of text as often as he wanted to add/change the text; not that when you loaded the page you could sit there and it would display, sequentially, N number of text bits while you sat there and watched. But I'm asking, because I'm not a genius here, and maybe there's some way to fit this bill that I'm not thinking of.
Is there a way that I can create a flash application that could write to a text file? It would make my life a lot easier if I could.

View 1 RepliesI'm using an open-source Flash mp3 player. In comes in two swf versions. One plays a list of songs and displays the album cover(s). The other version just plays one song. The problem is that the single-song version loads some default text that I want to change (I was able to do this in the other version via the external playlist file). I'm a Flash newbie, and when I open the fla file the player's author provides, I can't find where this default text is located. (The playlist version works fine; its default text relates to what the user will get when they click on the file titles.)
Playlist version that works OK - [URL]
Single song version with wrong default text - [URL]
I am looking for a flex component that could allow me to edit rich text with images.
Something like the RichTextEditor from flex except it allows you to add and preview images too, and which can generate the HTML code too.
Can I do this with flash? Save/edit text/xml server side?
View 1 RepliesI'm building a site that was bought from a template house that has a flash piece in the header. I have Win CS4 and have been able to swap out the images and replace the text but I am having a hard time finding where I can edit where/how the text aligns/ends up. Here's the test location: FertilityTestSite
Originally there was text of varying lengths that slides in below each image aligning right to the play/stop button. I tried to get them to give me text of a similar length but they just want the phone number. So now the phone number slides in but because the original text was longer (except for the one that had a ph#) they stop at different locations where the original 1st character came allowing to align right.
So my question is how/where do I edit this action? Would this be [in] the ActionScript? I am a complete noob and have only gotten to where I am through trial and error. I was able to find and replace the text in Essentials workspace and I was able to swap images (update) by right clicking them in the library view and I see a text export in there too that I have a high suspicion is what I need to edit but don't know how to access it.
i inherited a slideshow type of movie at work and there is one part of the movie that takes up 37 slides (all duplicates). i need to edit the text on them all. can i do this easily or do i have to go through and change them all manually?
