In any case I had a question about exporting. You see I imported a flv file (which was converted from a wmv) into Flash Prof CS5, when I did this I got a nice interface to choose a player control skin for the movie. However when I export the movie the player controls are no longer present.I'm doing this simply so I can embed the swf on a website and wish the user to have some control over it.

I did a photo gallery with loadMovie functions and It works fine when I preview it in flash but when I go to export it and publish it on my website the photos don't load into the clip. Is it because I'm in flash MX? do I just need to upgrade or what?
View 2 RepliesI never realized that fl.getDocumentDOM().selection doesn't retain the selection order... <sniff>. I was hoping to build relationships based on the order. I guess I took if for granted that tools like Maya and Max store the selection buffer in order of what was selected. I'm trying to avoid: Select Object, <Press 'Parent' Button>, Select Parent, <Press 'Parent' Button>
View 2 RepliesI am using Flash CS5 and I have created a large, rarely changing framework that I don't want to be recompiled every time I use it in my projects.I must be doing something wrong because the "auto-complete" functionality doesn't show the names of the parameters of the functions.For example, I have a function:
public class Hey {
public function show(name:String, num:Number, data:Array):void {...}
}

My original movie is 800x600 and my external swf is 700x525... I'm using the following script on a keyframe... loadMovieNum("123.swf", 1); ... and under normal circumstances this would work fine... however... I need the 700x525 external swf to retain its size in the center of the 800x600 original movie... right now it's edge to edge and showing what's going on 'offstage' in the external swf! What scripting am I missing? I'm using Flash 8 on a Mac.

I have designed a Flash animation for a client who has asked me to also provide it in a format which can be used in a film he wants to produce in Apple Final Cut Pro. I assumed the best format would be QuickTime but whenever I export the Flash file in to QuickTime the quality of the film is awful - the graphics leave fragments of themselves behind as they move (if that makes sense?!) and the overall quality isn't very crisp.
View 2 RepliesA Flash movie loads another movie that contains various asserts - movie clips in its library with 'Export for Action Script' settings set.
Is there any way to determine the list of class names of all these exported asserts from within the movie that loads them?
I made a movie in Flash CS3. The exported SWF shows that the right hand side of some of my letterforms (made from a non-converted font) are clipped off. Switching fonts produces similar results. Is there some glitch in the program that I am no aware of?

View 1 Replies1. Can skip "Exporting SWF Movie" step once i successfully exported and built an swf.I dont need to to export & built it every time when there are no code/design changes. Wasting lot of time to export to swf file. Can I skip and run already built swf from CS4 workspace directly?
2. Is there any commandline/scripting provisions is available in CS4 to automate the exporting/publishing part. So that i can run the script to publish a swf?
This is what I thought would be pretty easy to do:
- I have 1 scene named: "ucScene"
- I have a Movie clip on frame 1 with instance name "ucMovie"
- Inside this movie clip is a button with instance named "ucButton"
When I click this button I want my "ucScene" to "gotoAndStop" on frame 10

I find it kind of weird that IE8 would render my as3 different than firefox, and that I can't trust the movie player. I'm creating my movie object code using jquery and javascript. When I play the movie in the modal display the first time, it play and renders correctly. On the second time, the play controls dissappear.
I have spend about a 2 days on this, and have isolated it down to this object. It looks like the stage.stagewidth is inconsistent after the 1st time the object loads on a clients browser. Once the file gets cached by IE8 in the temp folder, it seems to change.
So I have replaced the stage.stagewidth with a var that is pased via flash vars, fv_Player_Width, which is 640.

View 2 RepliesI am using php to read a file (specified by a cookie on the users machine) with the function readfile(). The file I am reading is an actionscript 3 flash file that depends on a configuration file appended to the url to function properly. Ex: [URL]. When I use readfile - the headers are set properly and the swf is returned to the browser which then runs it. I have discovered that using this method the config file (CONFIG_URL) has to be appended to the php file's url to be read properly by the swf - as the swf considers the path to the php file it's own. This is fine when these are the only two elements involved - but when loading the php>read(swf) combination into another swf - the 'read' swf returns a url that is null (using this.root.loaderInfo.url) and therefore fails to execute properly as there is no config file (CONFIG_URL). How can I load in a swf file from a php page (using readfile, fopen, whatever) and pass in $get parameters?
View 1 RepliesI have a .swf file that has all of its assets loaded through xml to make the file modular. However, when I try moving the published .swf file to a different directory, I need to bring the xml file and all the assets along as extra baggage.
Is there any way to create a .swf that can load these assets during publish, and retain them? I'm currently trying to make another .swf, load it into that one, and using Adobe Air to update it with everything loaded, but I don't think this is the right direction.
I would prefer to avoid using a wrapper, but if there is no other option I will look into it.
I am working on a project with several collaborators who edit the project through XML files that are read into the flash file. The final swf file will be distributed across thousands of websites, and we are not allowed to include any other files with the swf. Is there any way to read in the XML, compile the swf with all of that information intact and then not have to have those XML files with the swf to run it?
View 2 RepliesI use an application which uses flash cookie to store some important information. This information is critical and should not be deleted. But I have observed that the flash cookie or the shared local object is getting deleted under the following situations. When the local history(including cookies) are deleted by the browser. When flash is upgraded in the system.
This is adversely affecting my application. Please let me know, if there is a way to forcefully retain the 'shared local object' by placing some kind of lock on it. It will be better if this can done programmatically.
What I thought was going to be easy was far from.I have several pages on a flash project that have buttons nestled in a movieclip.The seemingly simple question is how do I get one to stay in the down state after rolling off and retaining that state until another is clicked.This is the code I've generated so far that disables the button after clicked and enables when another is clicked, however it doesn't stay in the down state, after roll out they revert back.
Code:
var buttons:Array = new Array("home", "portfolio", "contact", "about");
home.onPress = function() {
buttonOver("home");[code]..........
