I am working on a flash project that has many fla files associated with it. Is there a plug-in that will allow me to publish many flash files without me having to manually open and publish them myself. I know in Photoshop there is a batch processing of actions but was unaware if there was one for Flash.
View 1 RepliesSeveral months ago I created this, The Halo Galactic Map. After talking with a lot of people on their opinions and such, I wanted to take it to the next level and replicate the map found in Mass Effect and Mass Effect 2 shown here.
Based on my knowledge of Photoshop and some... and by some I mean very VERY little Flash... I took it upon myself and another member of the community to create this.
All was going well until the member decided it wasn't his cup of tea. Basically, he didn't like that he couldn't do it well enough.
Ok, so I've installed Flash and tooled around with it for a bit, but I want to get going. I know this isn't the best place to post this thread - I know there are probably better places - but I just wanted to know where and what to begin with. I have the whole thing planned out in levels, layers, and motion...
Im the new kid on the block so I apologyze if I'm not doing very well.Everything works fine till the moment in which I set the wmode param of the flash movie to transparent, then the movie completely disappears (it loads, as I can listen at the sounds) but it doesn't show.I would like to have a full background image with the transparent flash movie over it, that's all, if somebody can tell me how to fix this or even a new way to do it, it will be so good!!Here is my code, so simple, by the way:
$(document).ready(function(){
$("#background").fullBg();
$('#flashcontent').flash(

an answer here opening swf files using WebKit framework says the following about running SWF movies inside WebView inside Cocoa application: "because the Flash plug-in is not garbage-collection supported, the plug-in won't work if your application uses garbage collection".
Meanwhile, an answer here Flash AS3 animation in Mac vs Windows discusses Flash garbage collection on Mac (likely in Safari) and says that it sucks but it does exist.
So is the first claim about no garbage collection in WebView false or is the WebView plugin distinct from Safari plugin?
I have... ~1300 "Drawing Objects" (read: Shape) sitting on the stage that were Paths in Illustrator and were pasted in as part of one cohesive image. I need to be able to access all of them via ActionScript, but as with my post on the AS side of this problem, they are all stuffed into a single Shape and not accessible independently.
View 2 RepliesI have an AS3 based FLA that, for various reasons, needs nearly all of the linkages in the library reworked (need to move to a different package namespace).This particular FLA is pretty big, so doing this by hand would be rather tedious.I have considered saving out the FLA as an XFL, and just hand editing all of the XML files in the LIBRARY folder, and then saving out as FLA. Has anyone tried this? I have never worked with XFL files before, so I don't know what quirks I may run across.My problem has to do with loading SWFs and class conflicts because of multiple SWFs using the same package namespace. Without getting into too many details, I know about ApplicationDomain and LoaderContext. I am currently loading into a new ApplicationDomain, but that isn't an ideal situation and is causing grief that won't be maintainable in the long run.
View 1 RepliesAny easy way to mark an entire package/directory and all subfiles as being [Deprecated]? I'm about to separate a large number (500+) of genericly-coded library files from our more app-specific ones, and need a way to notify developers they are using the files that have moved so they can point them to the new directory. In the meantime I'll be opening them all one-by-one

my code is:

the BMI_FINAL.text box always displays NaN, and when traced it says Undefined and the code looks sound but i cant get it to work.
I am looking for solution to convert swf into flv in a batch
like using command line or sdk
there is solutions but the are very expansive like moyea swf video converter
I've got about 7000 eps files that I need to batch convert to swf. The catch is that I need to dynamically load these swfs through actionscript 3. Most of the solutions I tried (illustrator) created avm1 swfs, which cannot be dynamically loaded through as3 as a displayobject.
Is there any way to do this? Maybe a batch job in flash itself? The only solution I've found is to open the eps files individually and export them as as3 movies, but I obviously can't do this for every file. The other option is to somehow bypass the avm1 limitation in as3, but I haven't been able to find any info on that.
I have a whole bunch of WAV files, and for each of them I am to create a SWF file, which will contain this WAV (of course compressed as MP3) on the first frame, and then on a separate leyer there will be a stop action on the last frame, corresponding to length of this WAV. The SWF is supposed to have the same name as WAV. I s there any way to automate this process?
View 1 RepliesI have 290 transparent .png image files that i would like to be quickly added to a movie-clip so that i can use it as an animation. (As2 or 3 either way).
The pictures are all the same height/width and format. Is there a quick way i could import them to a movieclip quickly, as manually drag and drop into the movieclip is tiring?
I need to run a batch file which needs to execute a local windows program.
How can I call that batch file insides AS3?
I want to create a custom chatback badge in Flash to match the other buttons on my site. I am a newbie to Flash using CS4. I don't have a preference of actionscript 2.0 or 3.0. I've figured out set up the url, but all I want to do is get the little dot next to my name that says whether I am online, busy or offline. It is an html code, and I dont know how to put it into Flash.
Here is the html code:
<img height="9" width="9" style="padding:0 2px 0 0;margin:0;border:none" src="[URL]" alt="">
I have been asking a fair number of questions here recently and have been very pleased with the responses, so here is one more for you. Hopefully I can get another solution. :]
I have a flash project acting like a menu and being published as an .exe (projector). In this file, I have a button with the following code:button1.onRelease=function(){fscommand("exec", "openfiles.bat");}
I have an fscommand folder (in the same directory as my flash file) which contains the openfiles.bat, with one line: start myfile.txt
myfile.txt is also located in the fscommand folder. When I simply click on this batch file and run it, the text file opens as it should. However, when I click the button in my flash file, a command prompt window flashes too quickly to see with some sort of error message. It says something about not finding a certain directory and defaulting to the windows directory. I'm assuming it cannot find either my batch file or my text file. I am under the impression that as long as everything is in the fscommand folder it should work properly.
Ive found alot swf encoders, but they're all consumer push-button solutions which have given me a noticable loss in quality, regardless if i feed them flv's or uncompressed. As of the moment the only way to get comparible quality is to import one video at a time onto a flash stage, publish, and undo so its length doesnt affect the next flash video. Anyone know of a better way?
View 12 RepliesI'm looking for a method or tool that allows me to make the following: import several bitmaps (pngs that are frames of an animation) convert each of those bitmaps to a sprite, put each sprite into an array in order (spriteArray_name.push[bmpSprite]). The array itself can be just exist as a static array in resource file. This isn't exactly a complex task, but I've got thousands of frames for different animations, and I really don't want to do this by hand.
I'm not an AIR programmer but, would that be a possible easy solution? It just seems like there would be an easy way to Batch this process. I'm currently using Flash Pro cs5.5 for the project. I am currently doing this at runtime, basically creating empty spites and drawing in the bmp data on the fly. But, its not going to work. I need to do this precompile (or during compile if that's possible).
i have a flash .fla that was compiling as a .swc with references to images, but now I need to load all these images externally and I dont have the original assets.
I know I can export them one by one, but I have a few hundred in the file, and want to find an easier way.
How to pass or get variables through AS3 and Batch files?
Actually My main app is in Flash CS5. I want to search root folder (Which is not possible only with AS3 alone) for number of directories and pass them to a batch file.
trying to combine animation and scripting together to try to make a stop motion based on pictures in my library...I had taken loads of pictures and had drawn on them to provide the frame by frame animation, and what's left now is getting them on to flash... What I used to do is to just put the images in one by one, but this time, this method is not really feasible, as I have a little more than 900 images to load this time...
My question: Is there any way to create a while loop to get each of my images into a new key frame? Like, for each image I have, an empty key frame is created, and then my image is loaded into it?
I'm using the SQLRunner class made by Paul Robertson and I need a way to determine when an executeModify batch has finished executing so I can safely move on to the next step and work with the data.
the function can be called with a resultHandler and progressHandler function when it's called, but I am getting a complete event with every query in the batch. I put `if (completedCount == totalCount)` in my progress handler, but it never gets called.
Most of the info is covered in these classes in the sqlrunner package..
