The problem is when I publish it, the SWF version works fine on the Mac, and the PC EXE version runs fine on a PC, but the Mac Projector doe not. When I double-click the icon, it opens the Flash player (red square with the "f" in it) showing the name of my Projector in the dock, but nothing happens.It is not hung, I can go through the menu items at the top of the screen for the flash player, it just isn't loading the project for some reason.
I am trying to build an XML Driven Drop Down Menu similar to the one detailed in the tutorial in The difference is that instead of the menu item taking the user to another website I want it to launch a swf file in a movie clip. Basically, what I'm trying to do is build a training application where the user clicks a button (created from the XML file) and it starts a movie in a movie clip. Seems simple but I haven't been able to find anything on it. All the tutorials involving XML menus have the buttons launching URL's.
I've used the XML connector to use an xml file to populate amenu>submenu> thumbnail image flash application. Everythingworks except that I'd like the last step to be that the user clickson the dynamically generated thumbnail image to open acorresponding pdf. I'm using the Loader component to generate thethumbnail. Essentially, I want to turn that image into a buttonthat launches a pdf.
i have an AIR android app which i am running on an android device ( samsung TAB ). i want the app to get laid out in landscape mode when the user starts the app holding the device in landscape ( same goes with portrait ).
but the AIR app always gets started in portrait mode irrespective of the way the device is held.
i tried the following ways use stage.deviceorientation (but when the app starts (after the applicationComplete notification ) the value is UNKNOWN) use stage resize event. (this gets triggered at start itself, a manual resize is not required - the values are based on portrait mode though - the width is 600 and height is 1024 (should have been otherway) )
i get correct values when i try changing the orientation of device, only at the startup i see problem with the required values.
I have a directory that contains a .swf and assets. What I would like to do is put all of these in a folder and then have the projector outside of this folder.
So the projector would basically launch the swf that is within the assets folder from outside of it.
I have read several posts where people discuss TOPMOST and SWF Studio as options for keeping applications running in the top of the z order.
My question is: Is there a way to create a projector that always stays on top (e.g. even if a windows update occurs) without purchasing SWF Studio? As I understand TOPMOST is only for launched applications, not for the application itself.
make something appear on the monitor/screen of a computer or laptop, but have a projector ignore it? I've seen it done before in presentations where the speaker has "cue cards" on the laptop screen, but these don't get projected so they remain hidden from the audience.
I am still running Flash MX (04). Because I find flash a little more useable than other progs, I am using it to create a presentation. I am creating a project that I intend to only use as a standalone SWF (not uploadable to a site or anything). I intend to play the SWF full screen on a laptop and output to an LCD projector as a presentation. I have the stage set at 1024 x 768 and am using movie clips imported/embedded (which arent the full 1024x768 but slightly smaller ), text, photo's and audio. I am nearly 2/3rds the way through and the SWF file size is growing (currently at 16 meg). I expect it to be in the region of 90 meg + or so as some audio yet to be loaded and still photos are quite size heavy. Is there any way i can get the audio to sound a little clear as when the SWF is published the sound seems to lose a little quality in the compression. Also, what is the maximum size you would recommend a standalone SWF in this scenario should/could be?
I need to make a hybrid CD-Rom that has PDFs. I want to launch the PDF in Acrobat, not a browser (they interactive and have bookmarks etc). I can get it to work on the PC side with no problem but am having trouble on the Mac.
I've made an applescript that works, and have it in the "fscommand" folder.
However, I can't get the Flash projector to launch it. I'm using this code on a button;
quote:
on (release) { fscommand("exec", "testing.app"); }
It's a disk image. I can't work out why it doesn't work and it is driving me insane.
I have a AS2 based projector compiled into EXE using mprojector. I need to add spellchecking to the textboxes, is there any spellchecker available for AS2??? I have only found valid solutions for AS3.
I'm doing an interactive kiosk and the FlashPlayer on the screens we're using is like a modified Flash7 or something and it has a lot of trouble reading even the most simple actionscript (extremely frustrating). So I'm trying to load an external projector file (.Exe) from the SWF, which would solve everything.The file that calls the Exe MUST be a SWF.I've tried to wrap my head around possible workarounds for a while now, but haven't much luck.
I am trying to do something really simple but I think there may be a bug in flash. I want to create a fullscreen projector which does not scale the stage and contains movies, the movies should not play fullscreen. I want the videos to stay exactly the size as I have set them up on the stage as they have titles above them. The issues I am facing are as follows;
1) If I place the movie on frame1 of my timeline along with the code
I use a variable (say x) in all the flash files i create. And then i create projector of these files..Now I wanna create another flash file, that will read whats the value of x directly from the projector.In x, i store some kinda password, or something like that,which i dont want to show the user... And this x unlocks the full capacity of the program, like some master control... And also every one of the file has different password...So, there is a probability that i may forget the password... So i am attempting to create some type of extractor/cracker to get this password (value of x).[code]
abc is the file which from which i want to extract the value of x.. This code loads abc.swf into the movie clip (whose name is z) at the root level.The x in the extractor takes the value of x from the loaded movie, and then displays it later... I cant figure how to get this working with my exe(s)??
I recently was assigned to make an interactive CD using Flash. However, there is some content that needs to be downloaded, or loaded from the CD such as .jpg's, pdf's, .doc's. I've looked at some ways to do it, such as batch files to load files, but the instructions were unclear to me. (I also work on a Mac and need this to be cross-platform) Also, the content cannot be loaded to the web and use a getURL command. The client wants the user to be able to download or load it from the CD by the click of a button.
I have been doing tests to make sure my interactive cd works correctly on all computers, however, I have run into a problem with the Flash Mac Projector. It seems that on one mac the file requires unziping before being used? On another mac the computer cannot open it, simply ignoring clicks on the file.I am publishing the file on a pc, and the winzip icon appears next to the mac .hqx projector file, would this create a problem?
I have created a cd-rom in flash which autoruns and opens up as a fullscreen projector. The cd launches various powerpoint files from without the movie, however, once i close the powerpoint file, the projector is no longer fullscreen.
Is there any way I can keep the flash movie running fullscreen behind the powerpoint files, so when i close them, the flash movie is the same.
what I'm using in a Mac projector that's on a CD-ROM:
Code: protected function get urlRequest():URLRequest { return new URLRequest("http://www.kirupa.com");
[code]...
Basically, all I want is a thing where:a user puts in a CD-ROMopens the projectorclicks a button and the user's browser goes to the specified web pageThis works fine on a PC projector. On a Mac, it never opens the page. It seems like the Mac puts the focus on the default browser program, but never goes to the URL.
I'm creating a flash projector file and need to scale background full-screen. The background is a gradient shape. I made it full screen and resized background so width and height is stage width and height but it still won't work.
I need to run a script if a user "x" out of the flash projector. This script is a LoadVars() script that sends info to php it does not need to receive anything, just send._root.onUnload does not seem trigger or the LoadVars script does not have enough time to run. I am not sure. Does anyone know how to get code to run if the user "x" out of the program?
Code: //this script does not run //even if I select a specific movie to check for the unload, it doesn't run
I swear, this problem alone is the toughest issue I've ever had to figure out with Flash.Let me explain... You created a preloader to show a loading external swf's bytes loaded, which is to be placed in a empty movieclip once fully loaded.Your overall size for your fla.is around 40 mb. Create a windows projector.exe and the loader doesn't work, the movie loads but you don't see a loader. I've exhausted every possible solution I can think of.
I am having a strange issue. I have many flash projects on this computer. On my current project, when I do a test movie from flash, it plays the swf no problem. When I open the published html file, again, no problem. However, when I double click on the swf from the finder to play it in flash player, flash player opens it, but it also opens some random projector (.app file) that has been previously published from another project. I would have tried trashing flash player prefs, but I can't find them.
This information must be on the Adobe site, but I've not had any luck tracking down the information... When creating a Mac and Windows projector in CS4, what are the minimum system requirements to open the created files on a Mac or in Windows?
I have a flash swf file that displays some training information that must go out to about ten thousand people in our organisation. Maybe only 70% of people have the flash player installed on their work PC's and IT have the systems locked down so tight this remaining 30% can not install flash player themselves. Flash is only rolled out with new PC's.
Made with Flash and MDM Zinc 2.0. Exe is making a fullscreen projector presentation CD have examples at hand.
On the left side of the page there are related topics. On the right side of the pressing topics, and link directly to the pdf file which is pressing on the issue comes with interface page pdf acrobat.
How to combine Flash and Acrobat PDF like this sample?
Note: This job has nothing to do with respect in FlashPaper was investigating it. Adobe does not import PDF Director'ı also tried.
I am using flash 8 or flash mx, and I want to open a web site and some pdf files. I have my projector set to fullscreen but when I open a web site or a pdf file these files open behind my projector so my final user doesn't realize that the pdf files or the web site is displayed. How can I force the web site or the pdf file to open on top of my projector or is there a way to minimize my projector when I click these buttons so the user realizes that these files opened.
Ever since I`ve changed to flash cs4, every windows projector publish I make takes a really long time to open and play an animation.I`ts just very slow. When I created stuff on flash cs3, I had no problems running published projects.
Can anyone help me here? It`s just that I searched for a lot of forum questions just like mine on other web sites and none could . Since your the developers os this product I would like to see what you`ve got to say about this.
I seem to be having a problem with the TransitionManager effects in Flash Projector flash.[code]Where mediaViewer (a movieclip on the timeline) is a TileList component that I extended and...when visible = true Will do a Zoom in transition. The problem is that while the above code works fine in a SWF file it doesn't in the EXE file. The component is not shown nor is there any transition taking place. If I remove the Transition effect it works as expected.
