Flash 9 :: Tools On Toolbar Not Expanding Properly?
Nov 29, 2008
I am useing Flash CS3. For some reason, I will click on the little arrow on a tool like "free transform" to get to the "Gradient Tool" but it refuses to expand so that i can select the "gradient tool". I am having the same problem with other expandable items as well like the "rectangle tool" which by clicking the little arro in the lower right should expand a menu to select other tools like the "Oval Tool" etc. Does anyone know what this could be?

When I save a .fla on my macbook (snow leopard OS) the main Flash CS4 application toolbar (the one with the minimize, maximize, hide buttons on it) disappears after the save dialogue has gone.To get it back I have to re-launch the app.I have checked for software updates but nothing seems to be addressing this issue.

I'm trying to create a website that is basically a flash toolbar that directs the user to different HTML pages at the bottom, much like this website here.
[URL]
Do I build the bar in Flash and then the HTML portion in dreamweaver or do I build it all in Flash? Would an iFrame work for this sort of website?

I was creating a flash element where I have thumbnails and text on my first frame and then a larger version of the thumbs on later frames. I was able to code the thumbs to write the code so that when the thumbs are rolled over they go to the large image, but I want it also to be when you roll out the large image it goes back to the first frame. [code]...

Are there a good overview/comparison of Flash-authoring tools somewhere online?
By "Flash-authoring tools" I mean "Flash Builder vs. OpenLaszlo vs whatever", not Silverlight or JavaFX.

I like the Eclipse SDK for other languages like python/java etc for writing code. But the Flash CS4 environment is not as intuitive (specially the editor). Is there any alternative for writing actionscript?

I was asked to create a screensaver capable to run on both win and mac. I am ActionScript developer, so I prefer to solve this using Flash/SWF. I know this is possible using several tools:Projectors such as Zinc or SWF Studio (os independent, $$$)Converters creating screensavers that use the Flash Player (one converter per os necessary, requires Flash Player on user machine, freeware)Adobe Air created screensavers (os independent, requires Air on user machine, no costs)I do not have control over the machines the screensaver will run. So everything needs to be simple and safe. I would go for option 2, but I am not sure if the tools I discovered are reliable.What tool you recommend to create the screensaver descibed using existing SWF files?Is there another (single) tool to create the screensaver without using Flash/AS/SWF?

I know that people don't generally like expanding flash banners, but my motive is simply to provide additional details for the sponsors of my forum[url]...
As you can see, in the upper right hand corner, I have a very simple rotating flash banner that shows the local companies that keep it going. I'd like to provide an additional service for people that are interested in using them, where each sponsor gets a drop-down menu that has a map, address, directions and contact information IF the user clicks on it, and wants to see the information for that sponsor.
Now I know enough about flash on how to create the actual banner itself, but for the life of me, I simply cannot make it extend over the rest of the page. It always ends up displaying the entire .swf file, no mater whether I make half of it transparent or not.
I've tried using several banners, including the Double-Click Ad Kit and some other expample flashes, but for the life of me, and through very extensive googl searching I can't find any clear cut instructions on how to make it extend OVER the rest of the body. I've found some pages that sorta mention how to do it, but I really have had no luck in duplicating it.

how can I make it so that my flash html page centers with the browser, when you expand the browser.. I have no problem with the index page, but its when going to my flash html page that I get this uneven amount of white space on the right side. For example, my index page.. when you resize the browser the page also centers itself when you expand.. but when on the flash html page you see the off-centered amount of space.

I am customzining a Flash FLV Player skin and everything is basically done and working according to play.My two questions are the seek bar appears to be shorter than the movie length despite the fact that I expanded both instances of it on the FLA of the skin itself?The second question is -- what AS could I use to display the time code of the movie as "0:00" if I wanted to have that appear too?

I am currently having the unfortunate experience of learning Flash Pro as part of my degree program at school. I have been having a problem with the program crashing repeatedly. I have CS4 Web Premium, an educational discount edition, and am using it on an HP pc with an AMD Athlon and Nvidia v-card. I have had problems with it crashing on this computer when using tools such as the deco-tool and sometimes when transforming something. The real problem is when I try to use one of the Dell pc's at school to work on a file I have created at home on the HP. On 4 different machines at school Flash will crash when working on one of these files, especially when scrubbing the playhead on the timeline. The program will crash over and over, to the point where I can't really work on these files at school, which is a huge waste of time.

I am just learning to use Flash CS5 Professional (aided by the "Flash Basics" tutorials of Lynda.com). I am presently trying to manipulate symbols as motion-tweens with the 3-D rotation tool found in the Flash toolbar. At the moment I'm trying to take a single word originally created as text, now a symbol, and animate it with motion-tweens so that it appears to be twirling on its x axis or y axis as though it's tumbling through the air like a coin.My trouble is that I can successfully get the symbol to motion-tween itself through one half of a single rotation. But nothing I try seems to work to have the symbol complete its rotation all the way around without the symbol wanting to suddenly flip and rotate in the other direction to complete the full 360 degree rotation. Every trick I use, the symbol wants to tween back the way it came to finish its rotation. This is happening whether I try to rotate type as a symbol, or whether I use other objects (rectangles, ovals, etc.) I've created and then converted to symbols and then movie clips (which I have done in all cases). No matter what I try, this program is not cooperating. What am I doing wrong. My Flash CS5 often behaves as if it's buggy (I'm running it on a brand new state of the art iMac, with the latest version of Snow Leopard as my OS). But even with all it's other little bugs, restarting Flash doesn't seem to clear up this mystery.

I'm building a Flash app (as3) that allows users to embed photos of themselves in a scene--think carnival-style cutouts (or faceInHole). I like the interface design for image manipulation at FaceInHole, which puts anchor points and a skeleton around the boundaries of the uploaded image and lets users drag the image to change its position, resize it by dragging corners, rotate it, etc, similar to the free transform tool in photoshop.
Originally, I was planning on building the application with an interface that just used buttons in a control console to manipulate things like position, rotation, etc, but I find the FaceInHole approach more intuitive.I have two questions:
a) Will most users find the in-place skeletal manipulation tool more convenient than the button-based tool, or do I just find it easier because I'm used to things like Flash and Photoshop that use a similar interface?
b) Are you aware of any good open source classes / libraries that contain a solid implementation of the photoshop-style free-transform image manipulation interface?

I've recently just started delving into both actionscript and flex...the main reason being I like to create a sortable datagrid or datagroup like thishere you click the main entry that already has some detail and the row expands to show more.It might be possible to do with an itemrenderer but for the life of me I cant seem to find any tutorial or source or demo that doesn't assume you already know what to do with the itemrenderer since you cant just drop them in and have them work it seems.

suppose I have an AS3 app made using FlashDevelop (I don't have the expensive IDE). Now I want to turn it into AIR app to deploy it on mobile or run it on the desktop or whatever. So how do I do that? Is there a free conversion utility? Or would I need to either buy some IDE or else get somebody else with a license do the conversion for me?

I have an application I built in Flash that runs with no problems on Windows and OSX. I'd like to extend it to mobile platforms and I want to be able to call programs written in the native language of each platform.
I understand that Flex can be used on mobile platforms and that it can call native code, but I'm a little confused by what I've read about Flex. Can I use the Adobe Flash development environment to build Flex applications? Will our users need the Adobe Air runtime to run the programs? And what the heck does Air add to the capabilities? We need strong audio and video capabilities, a built-in database is not a requirement.

I want to put a flash banner(slider) to show a bunch of products iteratively. And I want it to allow interaction so the user can interrupt image looping and choose what she wants to see and what images to show how long it will be shown should be configurable. I already googled for 'flashe banner / slider' but with no luck. Is there any open source projects that can offer this kind of feature? Or tools that can help me to create one.

i'm trying to create a expanding Form with a smooth transition effect, here the code:
<s:TitleWindow xmlns:fx="http://ns.adobe.com/mxml/2009"
xmlns:s="library://ns.adobe.com/flex/spark"
xmlns:mx="library://ns.adobe.com/flex/mx"[code].....
But the problem with this is that even with creationPolicy set to all not all items seem to get initialized. This causeses the tweener animation to lag when clicking the "register" button the first time. after the first click, the animation is smooth.

I am trying to visualise in flash midi file (using an external midi-to-flash library)Is there a way to tell the difference between Violin, Viola, Cello & Contrabass in a midi file. I get these values for instruments (ignore the numbers):
1-Flute 13
2-Oboe 15
3-Clarinet 14
4-Bassoon 16
5-French Horn 18
6-Trumpet 17
7-Timpani 26
8-String Ensemble 1 3
9-String Ensemble 1 3
10-String Ensemble 1 3
11-String Ensemble 1 3
12-String Ensemble 1 3
13-Acoustic Grand Piano 5
14-Acoustic Grand Piano 5
15-Acoustic Grand Piano 5
16-Acoustic Grand Piano 5
As you can see, all the strings get the same "String Ensemble" value..one way to do it is to ask for each note if it is high (65>) or low (50<) etc and by that deciding roughly the instrument type (for a specific note). but since these values are random and not accurate - that doesn't seperate them right (especially since diffrent tools still have shared note height values). Is it written (cello, violin...) somewhere in the midi file?
Is there a way to assume it?I have 5 tracks of strings. is it possible to assume (for example) that the first 2 are violins, 3rd is Cello etc? or they are all mixed?
