I have an FLV that i'm trying to import but I get this
WARNING: This movie uses features that are not supported in the Flash 7 playerSymbol=1.flv, layer=Layer 1, frame=1:VP6 Codec requires Flash Player 8 or higher.
I'm a very new user to AS3 and I'm attempting to migrate a site from Flash CS3 to CS4 on a Mac. I keep getting the following compile warning: "Warning: Actions on button or movie clip instances are not supported in Action Script 3. All scripts on object instances will be ignored." This is very confusing to me. I thought that scripts could be attached to both frames and objects? Is this a bug that is a result of switching from versions? Or is this warning true; and I have to abandon all uses of attaching scripts to objects on the stage?
Also: Can anyone illuminate me on the keystroke to call the actions window in AS3? It is supposed to be the F9 function key and another that I can;t locate on my keyboard!? As I said,I'm a very new user, so be kind!!
I have a bit of code in a flash assignment I am doing for uni and I have come across a 1060 warning that Image is no longer supported.
for each(var img:Object in images){
var image:Image = new Image(img.image1, img.image2);
image.x = img.x; image.y = img.y;
addChild(image);
}
i have a button with action script code "submit_btn.addEventListener(MouseEvent.CLICK, btnDown);" but it gave me below warning msg...."WARNING: Actions on button or MovieClip instances are not supported in ActionScript 3.0. All scripts on object instances will be ignored." "on press" no longer work in action script 3.0 ?
View 2 RepliesI am trying to do a simple CSS declaration. However, I got the warning above and not sure how to solve it. I thought s|(type) should declare the style for me
<fx:Style>
@namespace s "library://ns.adobe.com/flex/spark";
@namespace mx "library://ns.adobe.com/flex/mx";[code]....
i want to have a copy of it and add new features to it. rather than re coding the whole thing again but when i duplicate the movie clip and make the changers the original is effected as well.
View 0 RepliesI have a legacy AS2 swf that I don't want to rewrite in AS3 but I need to improve upon it to play video, and I'd prefer to use the AS3 video playing mechanisms.
Ideally I can build an AS3 movie that just takes a string param of the movie location and plays it. I'd load this AS3 swf into my AS2 movie and pass in the strings for the urls as necessary.
I am having trouble loading a quiz.swf into another another movie. To generate my quiz I goto
File > New > Templates > Quiz > Quiz_style_1
And in the first frame of the example quiz I add:
stop(); // To prevent playback
this._lockroot = true; // to preserve the heirarchy
Then I publish the quiz as testquizex.swf, and I can test this movie and it works fine by itself. Then in a different movie I start with a blank scene I add a keyframe and I insert
stop();
var mc:MovieClip = this.createEmptyMovieClip("mc", this.getNextHighestDepth());
mc.loadMovie("testquizex.swf");
Now the movie imports and loads into the frame and I can navigate through to the first question page, but the quiz doesn't actually work anymore i.e. drop targets dont work and the score won't increase. Is there anything else I have to do to the stock quiz template to make it importable into another project?
I'm trying to get a movie clip class from Flash into Flex Builder 3 (movie clip and external .as file). I used the Flex Components Kit for Flash cs3 and exported the swc into Flex, but was unable to instantiate the class because it wasn't a valid IUI component?So I took all the class code and moved it into the first frame of my movie clip. This allowed me to instantiate the class fine, but it tells me that all of the functions are null references.
View 2 RepliesI'm now trying to use the new file features in Flash 10 but I'm getting this error when I try something like fileRef.load(); ReferenceError: Error #1069: Property load not found on flash.net.FileReference and there is no default value.
View 3 RepliesI am considering upgrading my copy of Flash Builder to 4.5, and would like a list of the new features in the new version before I commit. I have heard that the ASUnit tests integrate better than previously, and that there are some nice features like quick fixes, is there anything else? Finally, based on your experiences using it, are there any shortcomings to look out for / avoid?
View 1 RepliesI know how to create a FLV player in FLASH - But how do I add other features in the right click menu when a visitor hovers over the player? Like my own domain name & a toggle full screen and more.
View 2 RepliesI heard somewhere that the introduction of CS4 released some new AS3 features that Flash CS3 didn't have. I haven't been interested in learning what they were until now. Is this some mistake on my part or did they really release new features?
View 4 RepliesSo there's a lot of great new features supported by Flash Player 11.2, particularly for game development which is great news for myself.
Some reading here. Highlights:
Right-click is enabled now (finally). Much better rendering performance.
This is all wonderful and magical, however I can't work out how to compile to Flash Player 11.2, and can't find much information about it.
In publish settings, this is all I get:
Using Flash CS5.5 Version 11.5.1.349 (latest).
Do I need to wait for CS6 or am I missing something?
how can I include SQL database within my Fash application
View 2 RepliesApparently Adobe added more features in flash video with each successive flash version, so earlier versions of flash video are only compatible with the same earlier version of the flash player. I'm trying to find out which video features are compatible with each of the flash players. This is because I want to create video for the lowest possible version of the flash player, so more people will be able to view it.
View 2 RepliesIn a market where everyone gets a cut, adobe is claiming that charging will make flash better, but from where I am standing it makes it worse. For example if I am using flash to develop a Facebook game, Facebook already takes a 30 percent cut, then on top of it having to pay 9 percent to adobe? that's a huge deal and an immediate turn off.Now they say that air will be unaffected, but I can only assume that if air on mobile becomes at all successful, what will stop them from doing the same?
I have been an enthusiastic flash developer for years and have been fully behind air for mobile development but this move may be a death blow as far as I am concerned. Adobe, if you care about your feature, please don't do this . . . You will drive people away from your product instead of bringing them closer.
I am thoroughly surprised that there is no Flash Hidden Features post yet in the Hidden Features series that I've been tracking for a while now. There is a recent AS3/Flex one but it's not very active and I don't exactly mean just AS3 when I say Flash here.The Hidden Features series is great for people who are new to a certain language. It shows the ropes and certain valuable tricks, all in one place. I think it's a brilliant idea. Even experts sometimes find tricks they'd never heard about.When I started with Flash, I was taken aback by the Flash IDE and odd concepts of Flash, compared to other programming languages.what are some hidden features of Flash as a language (AS2/3) and the Flash IDE?
View 24 RepliesI have a page that uses the jQuery.swfobject plugin to embed 5 flash items into a page and each flash item has a callback using externalInterface. The callbacks work when I have the js function outside of $(document).ready(function() but the jQuery animations do not fire - the ajax load however does. Does anyone know how to get the animations working too, code below:
function pageLoader(galID) {
$('#menu').hide();
$('#holder_gallery').load("feeds.php", {gallery: galID}, function(){

I'd like to know if it is possible to enable/disable some piece of code according to Flash Player version in ActionScript 3.
Let's say; I have a custom class customClass that uses flash.media.Microphone. The Microphone class has a property isSupported which is available for Flash Player version 10.1 and above (as stated in the documentation). I implement this property in my customClass... so:
I need something like this (by checking with the built-in Capabilities.version):
if (version >= 10.1) {
trace(_mic.isSupported); //this will throw an error if the debug version is not 10.1 or later
} else {
doSmthElse();
}
I'm trying to build a screenshot package in C# which creates a screenshot from an URL. But apparently flash isn't supported in the webbrowser class. Is there any solution to this or is there any open source solution on how to render flash in a screenshot from url solution?
View 1 RepliesI'm now using the cairngorm flex framework,and it supports mxml. Is this supported natively by flash or only supported by frameworks?
View 1 Repliesfrom the actionscript language reference in mx2004:
on()
Availability
Flash 2. Not all events are supported in Flash 2.
Usage
on(mouseEvent) {
// your statements here
}
Flash 2. Not all events are supported in Flash 2. <---- !!! which ones aren't supported? i couldn't find this in the AS2 docs anywhere.
and would this mean the same thing for this usage?
target.onMouseEvent = function(){
}
I have designed a flash website using Flash CS5 using Actionscript 3.0 here: URL...It displays fine on a computer browser but the client is determined to view it on his mobile device (and all mobile devices).From my understanding; Flash is not supported by all mobile devices, although others have told me contradictory information.I know Iphone do not support Flash and I don't think Blackberry do either. But some Androids display flash content? Right?Can someone please offer me some advice on mobile devices when it comes to viewing Flash content...?
View 1 RepliesI'm having a problem with Flash and InDesign (both CS4), installed as a bundle in one go from Adobe Master Collection discs, When trying to launch InDesign or Flash, I get a message that they are 'not supported on this architecture'.
I'm on a MacPro with 2x3GHz Quad Core and 4GB running 10.5.7.
All the other CS4 Master Collection apps have installed and run fine.
My volume is formated as Mac OS Extended (Journaled).
Is it true that the only file format that flash will stream from an external source is MP3? I know you can import other file formats into your movie etc... but thats not something that I want to get into.

View 1 RepliesAm working on a flash component that is supposed to display some dynamic text which might include HTML formatting. This text is displayed in a label component (AS3), and i would want it to render correctly, like create a line break when <br> is inserted, but it doesn't!
So am wondering what the supported HTML tags in the label component, and in general all other flash components?
Is there anyway to detect if the browser has a flash player installed or supported by the html5 ?
