Flash8 :: Flash Source Editing - Program Moves Very Slow
Apr 12, 2009
I am having a problem with a flash source that I am editing: the Flash program moves very slow, it takes about 4-5 seconds to recognize that I have made a click or a selection. It is not all the time like this. When I open the source, it moves ok for a while but after a short time it becomes impossible to edit. When I try to make a selection, edit the library or even write a word in ActionScript, it takes 5 seconds to recognize that I am making this (during this period, the cursor turns to the loading state).
Have you had this problem ? What could cause this ? Could the flash source be damaged ? Or could this be caused by my computer ? I should mention that I do not have any problem at all with my other flash sources. One other thing that I should mention is that the flash source (a site that I am editing for a client) has about 14 mb in file size and the way that it is coded is not exactly efficient, far from it. Could this cause it ? One last thing to mention is that I have about 70 mb of free space on the drive on which I am running the Flash program from. The flash file is a Flash 8 format. I tried editing it using both Flash 8 and Flash CS3 but I have the same problem.
I had posted a similar query earlier but didn't get a satisfactory reply. I need to edit a flash website (only the text needs to be changed). Which software program should I use ? It is required to convert every text on the site (links or no links) to be converted from language A to language B.
Ever since I installed Flash CS4 on my computer, it runs fine for a while before becoming really slow to respond and a pain to use, so I have gone back to using Flash 8 which runs fine. Is this a problem with my computer or the program?
I have an AdvancedDataGrid with editable set true on some columns. If i edit one of the values in the ADG, the row moves to the bottom of the node/branch containing the items im currently editing.My AdvancedDataGrid is defined in ActionScript3, and i use a grouping collection to group a flat dataProvider.
My problem is that i often want to edit several cells of one row, and if i edit one of the cells and then click somewhere else, the row moves to the bottom of the ADG. How can i avoid this? I want the row to stay selected and at the same index.
I have created a flash program and I would like to run a second flash program from inside the first. To explain, say I am running a program that draws a circle and fills it with a color. Then, I have designed a second program that will divide a circle into sectors by entering percentages, to turn that circle into a pie chart. Is there a way to be running the "draw a circle" program and have a button that opens the "divide the circle into sectors" program in a new window and then passes information from that program to the first program. I am sure I will have to send the information from the second program to an XML file and then have the first program recieve it from the XML file (which I can do), but I don't know if I can run the second program from inside the first program.
when i double click a symbol or button to edit it, I get this strange windows-like animation of a chequered rectangle that comes out from where I double click and gets bigger and bigger. Once its as big as the screen I can then edit the symbol.Its like its something to do with vista. If I bring up other applications whilst its doing it the rectangle is always on top and visible over everything. It's like some sort of windows "zoom" animation but for some reason its doesnt work quickly and is painfully slow... 10 seconds or so and when i come out of symbol editing it does the same in reverse.
To start things off, I use Flash CS3.moving menu that moves on its own when the mouse moves around it. Like the menu moves up when the mouse moves down.[URL]i have found similar tutorials for what i wanted.. but they are AS2 or older versions of flash..and what i needed is more along the lines of AS3 as that's what my class is learning and using.Does anyone know of an AS3 or anything that works with Flash CS3 tutorial thats what I'm asking?

// CLICK to Exit exit_Btn.addEventListener("mouseUp", goExit); function goExit(evt:MouseEvent) { fscommand("quit"); };
I need to program a timer for a typing tutorial program. It needs to go to 5 minutes. When the timer gets to 5 minutes the movie has to go to frame 13 which displays the results of the typing test.

So inside my src folder I have my app.mxml file. I have a source directory pointed to my actionscript library.It appears that Flex does not look inside that source directory including an .as file within the master mxml file.
I could just have the main app.as file inside the src folder along with my app.mxml file but it would be nice if it could live in the actionscript library.

Is there a way to edit an imported movie into Flash (CS2)? I try to remove frames, but then it seems to remove them from the end of my movie and not where I specified (in the middle).
I tried editing the movie in another program and then importing that into Flash, but Flash loads my entire clip again.
I want to duplicate a flash website (no copyright issue, work assigned by the owner of the website). The only change I am required to do is to change each and every text in language A to language B.
I am a web developer with the knowledge of PHP,HTML,DHTML,XML,CSS,JavaScript but no flash .
Is it poosible to store the site as ans .swf or .fla file and then edit it? Or can it be edited and used or I need to create a new one from scratch?
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...)
My friend wants to be able to update the sites text himself. Is there a way he can easily edit the basic text online without having to use Adobe Flash (it would be even better if he could add photos as-well). I was thinking I could get flash to read an XML file but I don�t know how he could easily edit that as heis not techie at all.
I want to edit my xml file through flash . But i have 1 more problem , i want that if i click the button "Gallery" then the the item having label "Gallery" should be given the attribute "selected = true " . I have already loaded the external xml file into flash ...
just been doing it for a couple days, i downloaded a template and have been trying to figure out how to edit the links. It came with a _URLs.txt, but all the links on the menu go to the same link.for example[URL]
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].
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.
