Is it possible to publish to a relative path in the CS3 IDE? For example, I have my folders set up in the standard bin, src, lib configuration where the .fla is in the src folder and I want to publish to .swf to the bin folder. I've tried the obvious'.. /bin/ nsomeswf .swf' but this doesn't work.
View 1 RepliesI'm trying to use a relative path in the -output compiler argument, here's what I've tried (with and without quotes):
-o="./deploy/file.swf"
-o="/./deploy/file.swf"
-o="./file.swf"

I simply want to put a movie on my website. I have other flash movies on my site that work fine. I import the video for progressive view. Publish the .fla. I get a .swf and an .html. I upload the files to my website and NOTHING! I check them locally and they work fine. Then I publish them again and they no longer work locally.
Flash 8 publishes them by default to my desktop. But if I use the default paths in CS4 the files don't even publish...they are nowhere to be found even with a search of my HD. I took html code from my site that was working and just changed the .swf file name. that didn't work either.

I am having some trouble setting relative package source path in the ActionScript Settings Flash CS4.Below is the folder structure on my computer.[code]The only way it will work is with an absolute path like /Users/ jenrosamond/Desktop/Tri-Template/classes.This project is getting moved around to several different machines though, so that absolute path isn't going to work.
View 1 RepliesI have two swfs, index.swf and history.swf. History.swf loads and xml file and some images using a relative path. This swf works fine on it's own.When I load history.swf from within index.swf to display it on stage, I get an error saying "TypeError: Error #1009: Cannot access a property or method of a null object reference. at History()"
I ran a test loading a basic test.swf (just text on stage) from within index.swf and it works fine.I am guessing that maybe once the history.swf is loaded into index.swf, the relative paths within history.swf are failing.
Yes correct I'm talking about Flash Player 11, thats what it says in Flash CS5 software. Whatever I do in Publish Setting, Flash software always returns option to be Flash Player 11, I don't get this. I choose Flash Player 8 and AS 2.0 and re-open Publish Settings it is again back on Flash Player 11 and AS 3.0.

I create a projector for Linux by executing a swf file in flash player and chosing "create projector" from the file menu. The initial swf loads external resources (using MovieClip Loader.loadClip for example). In the swf this works fine but in the projector this fails. The projector seems to always execute in the users home directory no matter where it is in the file system, thus to find the external resources the path should be relevant to the users home directory. The problem i now have is that my application will be packaged and distributed on a cd rom. At development time i have no idea of the path to where the cd-rom will be mounted in the end users machine.For what motive does the projector execute in the users home directory and not in its real location?
View 1 RepliesI have a bunch of Flash (.fla) files where I need to convert all absolute (root) target paths in timeline scripts to relevant relative ones. Doing it manually in Flash CS4 is very tedious work and using "replace" action is tedious too as there are multiple nested timelines. Is there any way to automate this task?
View 4 RepliesI am developing a Flash application where I load some images. The image paths are contained in an xml file that is read from the application .Up to now, I am using relative paths in the xml file. My question is if I can use site root relative paths?Let's say the site's directory is sth like below
- root
- /images
- /image1.jpg[code]....
I know I can use absolute paths but I prefer to use site root relative paths if that is possible.
is it possible to use relative paths e.g. ../website/home.html rather than [URL] with the getURL command?
View 1 RepliesSo I got this Flash project of mine. It imports dynamically other flash files that can be found at other places (on the same domain). And those other flash files load XML files using relative paths. The problem is: when I just load one of those other flash files, then they treat their relative paths from the location of the flash file that loaded them on, and not from their own directory on. Is there any way I can simply tell the loaded swf file to keep following it's relative path orders from it's own directory on, and not from the directory of the file that imported it on?
Or are there really just two ways to fix this:
- place the xml files at the location the loaded swf files expect them to be (though this would get quite messy)
- change the ways all the loaded swf files import their xml stuff (this would take quite a long time)
Example:
I got a file "peter.swf" in it's folder "project_peter".
Location: "project_peter/peter.swf"
I also got another swf file, called "basket" (for example).
Location: "project_peter/importedstuff/basket/basket.swf"
And basked would want to load an xml file.
Location: "xml_files/basket_config.xml"
So the true location of the xml file would be:
"project_peter/importedstuff/xml_files/basket_config.xml"
However, the basket file would try to load:
"project_peter/xml_files/basket_config.xml"
I am on mac and haven't upgraded my OS from 10.5 to 10.6 so when I upload a file creted in Flash CS5 it won't play because it needs the Latest flash player which uses 10.6 OS.So what I'm getting to is that can I go into "publish" settings and change the Flash player from 10.2 to an older version and then will this work.Also, which version should I change it to? For example sould I select Flash Player 5, 6, 7, 8, 9, 10 or 10.1?

View 1 RepliesI'm having some problems when creating a projector of my movie. The movie dynamically loads other resources using the class MovieClipLoader. In a swf running in the standalone player the path to these resources is relative to the path of the swf. However when I create a projector from the shockwave the path to these resources is absolute and one directory higher than the real path.
For example.
1) I have a main.swf and resource.swf in the same folder /home/myuser
2) main.swf loads resource.swf with the line of actionscript
myMovieClipLoader.LoadClip("resource.swf", someClip);
3) I open the swf in standalone flash player and everything works fine.
4) I create a projector mainProjector and save it in the same directory.
5) The projector cannot find resource.swf unless i put it one folder up in /home in which case all works correctly.
6) I also note that I am able to move mainProjector anywhere in my system since it would seem to always execute in /home regardless of where i move it from which I deduce that the absolute path /home is saved in the projector. This would make it impossible to distribute the projector in a CD-ROM.
Relative paths with Loader seems to be different than with loadMovie. How do I access the main movie's (mov_a) functions from the loaded movie (mov_b)? I tried using mov_b's parent and root but neither worked.
For the sake of clarity, this is mov_a's code:

View 7 RepliesMy situation is this I have 4 movies which load each other, meaning: movie1.swf loads movie2.swf which loads movie3.swf which loads movie4.swf movie3.swf communicates with movie2.swf though the _parent path and it works. but i can't seem to make movie2.swf communicate with movie3.swf since movie2 is _parent i assumed movie3 is a _child...but it does not work so my question is what do i replace _child with?
PHP Code: _child.mc.gotoAndStop("subM" + no); ps: would apreciate it if u could tell me a bit about levels ex: _level10/_level0 what do they mean and how can i tell on what level i have something
We cannot seem to get an original .SWF to load its partner .SWF files.While the <object> tag will load its file properly, the .SWF cannot load other .SWFs into it.The ActionScript is autogenerated via AS2 "Behaviors", and basically calls either loadMovieNum(file, this) or this. LoadMovie(file), depending on how it was loaded previously. Each group of .SWFs that reference one another will exist on a drive-mapped network share.A Client is using the "Behaviors" feature of ActionScript 2.0Said behavior is to load other .SWF files in the same path depending on an onRelease() event Neither the Client, nor ourselves, are fluent with Flash & ActionScript.The .SWF will be hosted in HTML inside of a custom application.The software programmatically loads HTML from a stream, not a file.Said HTML uses the standard <object> tag to host the Flash .SWF.The primary .SWF is located underneath a mapped networked drive (example: "K:") in a series of subfolders.The group of .SWFs will reside in the same folder Our controlled environment is WinXP+SP3 and Flash 9, with extremely-limited ability to update.They are strongly against using absolute paths, as it will affect reuse of certain .SWF groups.
Using Process Monitor and dabling with the "base" <param>, we have seen the following: Without the param, it tries to find the .SWF as a Registry value underneath AboutURLs. This is likely a side effect of our app initially pointing to "about:blank" before dynamically loading the HTML.With the full path ("Kestsub") as base, it tries to find the SWF on the root of the "C:"Testing with a real HTML file (not yet able to test with the App), providing a full path without the drive letter ("estsub") will navigate to this path from the same drive as the HTML. Given our limitation (the "about:blank" thing), this probably will either be the "C:" OR the Registry. Is this possible by using any HTML/ JavaScript on our end, or will we have to have some ActionScript that will determine the current SWF's path, use that to dynamically obtain the location of the other SWFs (also in the same path), then try to teach this Client how to implement the script? Again, they (and we) know little about Flash; they used "Behaviors" to try and get this to work.

I have imported an FLV file into Flash CS3, and chosen "Progressive Download from a Web Server" as my deployment option.
It appears that none of the stock skins make any provisions for a deployment in "pause" mode, so I figured I would just specify that in the Publsh Settings. It would also appear that when deploying in this manner, all (or many) of the Publish Settings are being overridden either by unseen code in the small generated .swf file, or in the skin's own .swf file.
Is there anyway to publish where the generated movie loads in the browser in paused mode other than embedding the video in an .swf and playing in the timeline?
Since updating to 10.0.2, I have been unable to access the AIR settings (File -> AIR Settings) for my FLA file which is published as AIR 1.5.I get an JavaScript error pop up about "Apollo_OpenSettingsDialog.jsfl" every time I click on the menu option. The same thing happens when accessing the AIR settings through File -> Publish Settings -> Flash (tab) -> Player [Adobe AIR 1.5] (settings).This has rendered my previously working AIR project totally unusable as I can no longer make any changes to the AIR settings. Four months of work is now inaccessible.
View 1 RepliesI'm just getitng started learning Flash CS4(fully updated). I was going through the Flash Downunder tutorials, and creating an interactive player with slider bars to change the 3D X and Y rotation.[code]I get no compile errors (using ActionScript 3.0, BTW) But when testing out the video with Flash PLayer 10 In the publishing settings, the video shows up blank. I thought it may be an issue with windows, but when trying the SWF on a WinXP machine, the same issue occurs.I tried using Flash player 9 in publish settings, and the video plays, but I need to use player 10 to use 3d rotation settings.I'm not sure if this is just a bug with Player 10, or if I'm doing something wrong.

View 2 RepliesI'm having a little trouble with my publish settings setup.Let's say that I have a file called MyFirstAnim.fla under the folder AnimSource.Then, I set the swf publish path to ../AnimFinal/MyFirstAnim.swf, and everything is great.Now, I need another file almost identical the first one, so I copy MyFirstAnim.fla and rename it to MySecondAnim.fla.hen I publish the file my MyFirstAnim.swf (under the folder AnimFinal) got overridden.So, I removed the swf part of the publish setting, leaving just the relative path (../AnimFinal/).
Am I smart or not?
