IDE :: CS4 Symbol Prob When Merging FLA's Into One?
May 16, 2009
I have several files for every piece of my movie. I have SCENE1.FLA, SCENE2.FLA, SCENE3.FLA, etc and want to merge them all into one file - MAIN.FLA. To avoid library symbol conflict, first I copy the content of SCENE1.FLA into MAIN.FLA, then in MAIN.FLA, I put every symbol in the library in it's own new folder named "+SCENE1". Then at the end of the frames of SCENE1's content on the timeline, I make a little space (blank frames), and paste the frames of SCENE2.FLA. For some reason "resolve library conflict" window pops up and ofcourse I say "don't replace). Now in MAIN.FLA the animation of SCENE2 has several problems: some symbols are missing and others are misplaced (like background, that is at the wrong X/Y position). So my question is: how do I get this right? How do I fix those problems and how do you usually merge the FLA's into ONE?
look at my attachment and you will see that it creates 10 little pieces of ammo. When u click on the background it should delete one of those movie clips. But it deletes 2 of them. the code for creating is on the first layer and the deleting is on the background button symbol(click on the background to find it if you don't know what im talking about).create code
Code: _global.ammo = 1; while (_global.ammo<=10) {[code]......
I applied folowing script to load my mp3 file. Problem is my mp3 won't loop:s. Anyone see the prob in my script? i'd also like the mp3 to fade in and when I push the stop button it fades out.
loopSound = function () { myMp3.loadSound("streamsound.mp3", true); myMp3.setVolume(50);[code]...
I've been using the flash video encoder to convert videos to FLV to put on websites. Today I converted a MPG file to FLV. The original MPG video worked fine, the FLV file played sound but no picture..
I'm making a mini flash music player and i noticed that if i input a bad filename it pops up an error msg and blocks the flash animation i'd like to know how to prevent these things i've already looked over the web my current code is:
ActionScript Code: var musicExtOk:Boolean = false; var musicIsPlaying:Boolean = false; var fileValid:Boolean = true;
[code]....
btw i just added the IOError script thing after searching the web and it doesn't prevent the popup but simply shows me another error msg with the code #2044 stream error
ive done a little media player for my mates website.means i didnt understand the xml and loading audio that way i decided to try another way,which was to load external .swf which contained audio.so ive done this everything working.the problem is i tried to add a timer, so that when the 30 sec sample was done it would go to the next frame which loads a different track.i found a piece of timer code which is
loadMovieNum("track2.swf", 1); if (bytes_loaded == bytes_total) { var time = 0;[code].....
It all works first time around but when you select the track again then it cuts out 20-25 seconds,
I have some problem with custom event dispatch, I have a main class call main.as, which will call in another class call something.as, when something.as is called it will dispatch an event. i have added an eventListener for that particular event, but it's not working.
i have a problem with flash maybe i have an online exchange table which loaded in a flash page when i import the exchange swf in a flash page on ftp it cant get the datas from php but when i open the exchange swf independently in ftp it get the datas from php and it works
I've found a couple of solutions to the line break problem where you end up with two carriage returns even though you only have one in an external .txt file, but they haven't worked.Here's my AS code:
var textRequest:URLRequest = new URLRequest("delete.txt"); var textLoader:URLLoader = new URLLoader(); textLoader.load(textRequest);[code]......
I've tried both <br /> and %0D, but neither of them give me a single line break, they do nothing, and the single line breaks in the txt file give me two line spacings.I've tried setting HTML rendering both on and off for the dynamic text box.
I am building an app where the user can add tabs as needed. Each tab will have 4 panels insideit. I can't get my for loop to build the panels. It keeps erroring out.1) How do I create these with a loop and 2) I am wanting to put data from a data provider in here. How can I reference the panel in the vbox in the tab control in the future?
function addNewTab():void{ if(labelText.text!=""){ var newVbox:VBox=new VBox();
I have two .fla files. I would like to bring one of them into the other as a scene. I copy and paste frames into the new scene..... but there are a bunch of .wav files that don't come over with it. What is the proper way of merging two .fla files?
I've been asked to re-design this website URL... but the client still wants to keep the tweening effect of the images merging into one another.Can anyone point me in the direction of a decent tutorial or some tips on the best way to go about it. I use Fireworks and Dreamweaver CS3 and I have very basic knowledge of Flash so I'm not afraid to use that application if I have to.
I'm using Flash 8 which I know is ancient tehnology but more then adequate for my simple banner ads. The site I put my banners on has recently added an option to provide banners exactly twice as wide as the ones I have been providing. Until I have time to create entirely new banners is there a way I can merge two of my existing Flash files into one and thereby position two of my existing banners side by side? This would give me the new size I need without creaating a whole new banner.
i'm searching a method to merge some data from an air application to a template made with word (.doc).I've search on the web for exemple, look at the open office API, but did'nt find anything.1- do you think it's possible from air to make a document (pdf as possible) from a existing template in .doc ?If not, i read that livecycle can do pdf from template (template in pdf, with xsd to do the relation beetween data and template) but do know a simple way to convert existing template in .doc to template in pdf?
Does anyone know, if it's possible to record a sound stream with a mic / headset and then merge / mix the recorded sound with another pre-recorded mp3?
What I'm looking for, is a way to mix 2 sounds into a new sound object.I use AS3 / FlashPlayer 9 or 10.
I have done words animation in flash and converted as swf. I have more than 300 small swf files. Now I have to merge all these files in to a single swf. Is there any software to merge multiple files to a single file. I don't want to use loadMovie, because I haven't used script in any of these files. Since it is an urgent project, I can't add code in all these files.
I was doing some search and it seems like it's not possible to use 2 external classes. So I was wonderinge them into one. I tried it in many different ways but it still doesn't work.I'm new to as3.This is the code I would like to merge into the next one:
Code: public class main extends TopLevel { var accord:accordion;
I am trying to merge loaded SWF content into one centralized data placeholder. The SWFs will be loaded through a Loader class. From what I know, as soon as the Loader class dispatches Event.COMPLETE, I can have access to the SWF content. What I am trying to merge here are the classes in the SWFs.
Why I need this is because, I am building a game where the character will have equipments for different body parts. Let say the head, body, bottom. I will load Head.swf, Body.Swf, Bottom.swf. After fully loaded, I will access the assets through standardized classNames (e.g. HeadPart1, HeadPart2 using getDefinitionByName(className)).
I can do this if I am getting the content from each individual Loader object - loader.contentLoaderInfo.applicationDomain.getDefi nition(className) but I am guessing if I have many other body parts, I will need more Loader objects.
So I am wondering if there is a way where I can grab all the loaded content from a loaded Loader into a data placeholder? I foresee there might be naming conflicts if I try to merge a Head2.swf inside the data placeholder after Head.swf as they both have parts with same class names. Will there be a way to overwrite an existing asset with same class name?
I have several flash clients that send live audio stream to the Red5 server. Is it possible to combine all this audio streams together so that other clients could subscribe only to one audio stream and listen live audio from all publishers?
Is there any kind of method with any other programming langauge like php to merge multiple flv files to one so that they will stream as a single file with out any between them gap.
I am fairly fluent in Photoshop, and im trying to figure out a small problem I am having. I will try to be as clear as possible, so bear with me...
I have created a character (superman) in Flash (action script3) who is divided in many layers. His eyebrows, mouth, wrinkles, eyes ect are all on seperate layers. I figured that was something you needed to do to allow ease in animation? Keep the head as one solid object, but keep the eyes, eyeborws ect on a different layer to animate... (right?) After building the face color layer, I added a shadow and highlights layer on top of it. After doing so, I have tried to `merge` them (which i believe is when you make it a `symbol'?) and it gives me a strange result. Either the shaded areas turn black, or the cut out the color of the face, almost like they have become a mask. Here is a before and after:
So im curious, is there any way I can merge my highlights and shadows layer to the base layer, without this problem? Or is there something I am missing. The shadows and highlights were made just by layering a black, or white, layer with opacity, over top of the solid color layer. I figured it would be as easy as it would be in Photoshop, just merge them in the end, but no. Then again, this is new software all together for me, so I could be missing something.
As you can see, its made up of many layers:
So the other question is: After I manage to merge the proper layers with each other (Face, face outline (stroke), highlights and shadows to make up the HEAD) how do I cut the rest of it up for animation? Seeing as his body is one piece, from neck to feet (including arms), how am I going to cut that up and still maintain the vector lines? Or will I need to build the arms totally separate, and then layer it that way...
There are a number of posts on here about merging XML with Java, but I can't seem to find any reference to Actionscript for the same task. I have a group of XML files that I need to load. I want them to sort into one XML Object in memory. For example, let's say these were my XML files:
I have these 2 separate FLA (AS3) files and I want to merge them together. One FLA, let's name "Animation.fla", consists of a 1-frame animation with a class assigned to its main stage, let's label it "MainStage.cs." The other FLA file, label it, "Navigator.fla", consists of 3 frames where I have to navigate different frames to get to the animation on the Animation.fla.
I have tried nesting the two but I gain errors when trying to convert the whole Animation.fla to movieclip and put it on the frame of the Navigator.fla. It's seems it's not the correct way to do it.

How to merge flash site into one executable. Site consists of: index.html images sounds pdfs etc. After clicking on a merged file, index.html is needed to be opened. Adobe AIR might be useful for this, but I can only create setup executable, maybe it is possible to create just executable?
I am parsing data from an xml file into an array within my flash file. The nodes within the xml file have common data between them. What I am attempting to do is dynamically push the data in the array without duplicating data already contained in the array. For example I may have an xml file that looks like this:
Say I want to push the "group" data into an array. When it gets to the third "video" node I want the array to see that "group1" already exists so instead of pushing a second reference of it into the array to actually push the secondary data ("title" and "thumb"> into a new array for "group1". I will later use that array to pull up a list of "group1" videos.
We are mainly developing On-line web application works on Flash Movie remixer which remixes more than two flash movies (Picture In picture), SWF layers, Run-time special effects (Chroma-key, fire filter, etc.) and sound layers.This site is similar to the [url].... Recently we were having an issue that user should render the remixed movies and layers to one flash movie file (FLV format).
one drawing layer (graphics object with lineTo, etc.)
one png with an alpha channel (supposed to serve only as a mask)
now i want to be able to only draw lines within an area restricted by the png mask.
i am trying like this:
var bitmapData:BitmapData = new BitmapData( 320, 320 ); bitmapData.draw( drawingLayer ); bitmapData.copyChannel( maskBitmapData, new Rectangle( 0, 0, 320, 320 ), new Point( 0, 0 ), BitmapDataChannel.ALPHA, BitmapDataChannel.ALPHA );
now the borders get cut off fine, but i get a black background, since the drawing layer has an alpha between the drawn lines (and it should remain like this) and the mask bitmap has an alpha outside the shape. so naturally the mask's alpha replaces the drawing layer's.
i tried it with merge, copyPixels and also with just setting the mask property on the drawing layer (i set everything to cacheAsBitmap) but to no avail.
[Embed("...")] private const BodyMask:Class; var maskBitmap:Bitmap = new BodyMask();
and assigned them to the mask property of a s:Group element (cacheAsBitmap=true) where the operations on the graphics object occured. i also tried reassigning the mask after each draw operation.
[code]In my real application, I've actually created a named array with element1 as key...so that I can address it directly by it's name.The problem is that - in my real application - the array2 element doesn't share a name in common with element1 (so I could address it by its name..as just told you,using named array) but with element5.
