It must be obvious, but I can't seem to figure out in CS4 how to view 2 different fla windows at the same time, each with its own timeline and stage. I often used this in Flash 8 to select and drag elements from one to another.

View 4 RepliesIm having a little bit of a problem with a .flv file i want to put into a flash document for adding a play and pause button.
Im not sure why, but i get an error message every time i try to load the .flv
Ive tried same method with other .flv files i have to make sure - it is definitely just this one. I want to figure out whats up with it and have no clue about encoding, is it possible for anyone to just have a quick look to see if they can open it?
The file is at: [URL]
I have a .fla that is in actionscript 3.0 and when I try to open it it doesn't show up. It's almost like I open it and flash just forgets about it. No tab shows up. I don't think it's loading because there is no lag and I have full use of flash with other open projects.
View 1 RepliesI have been working on an application. There is a login screen for the application, in one of the swf's I have been writing the login code, along-with communications with XML. Now once the user has been validated, I want to redirect the user to some XYZ.swf file and close the login.swf file else if not then I have to display an error message.
The issue may sound simple, but I am a beginner at this.

I haven't had this problem before working between PC and Mac formats...

View 1 Repliesis it possible to change text and images in a fla file without ever opening it up and then making the swf via command line? I want to make a flash template and save the fla. Then be able to update my text and image name and convert it to swf. I have one template but tons of different text options and background images. It would be nice to be able to copy the master.fla twenty times and just change the source code (will do this from command line) and then convert to swf (via command line).
View 2 RepliesI've got a .fla file, with 3 scenes in it. In the 3rd scene, there's a button which upon clicking it, should open a new window showing a external .swf file. Both files are placed in the same folder.
Now.. I'm able to open the .swf file in a browser, but what im trying to do, is open it in flash player. How the *#@%*#@ am i supposed to that? :P
Oh yeah, i should probably mention that the external .swf file also has mulitple scenes and buttons. And both "movies" should still be interactable when i open the new window.
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.
View 3 RepliesI have a main contents page and what I want to do is when the user click the button for a section then the relevant swf will load whilst the contents page closes. If this can't be done then is there a way to just get the relevant swf to open up in a new flash window?
I have done the following:
PercentageOfAQuantityBtn.addEventListener(MouseEve nt.CLICK, GoPercentageOfAQuantity);
function GoPercentageOfAQuantity(evt:MouseEvent):void {
navigateToURL (new URLRequest ("02 Percentages.swf"));
}
This code however loads the swf file in my internet browser instead of a new flash window.

What I want to achieve is to be able to be running a .swf file that I've coded using actionscript, and to click a button in there and have it bring up my computer's finder window (or the my computer/documents/whatever you want to call it on a windows) so you can bring in a file from on the computer. If that's a bit vague, I want to be able to add music to a library (like iTunes) .. Basically. All I want to know is if it's possible to open a file from outside the swf and put it on the stage.
I'd also like to know if it's possible to... save (for lack of a better word) the files that are on the .swf so that the next time you open it they're still there.

View 3 RepliesI am currently building a XML gallery. The thumbnails are created inside the FLA file, and it's driven with a XML file. When a thumbnail is clicked, it will bring up the Detail movieclip. And inside the Detail movieclip, I've created some buttons with an external class of "DetailButtons". Inside the DetailButtons class, the buttons dispatch a custom event that the FLA is listening for. The problem is I can't figure out how to have one of the buttons open the corresponding url link in the XML file. I just keep getting the 1069 error.[code]
View 13 Repliesjust recently upgraded to Leopard. Flash now crashes when opening certain fla's (that worked fine before). The files sometimes open, but then crash the app when I select something on the stage. In these cases I can actually edit the actionscripts.I'm not sure if the crashes are related to Leopard; don't remember if I tried opening one of the problem files since upgrading.I'm on a MacBook Pro 17 2.33, 2gb ram.I repaired permissions (several times), ran various Onyx processes, zapped pram, removed all the prefs files I could find, and reinstalled the whole suite (CS3 Master suite). Bridge won't even open; it crashes on opening.

I have an external text file I use to load captions for my slideshow I'm using to present images in my portfolio I'm making for my senior seminar class. I want it to open up a url to show an expanded image of the thumbnail I added.
In my external text field I have three things:
&caption1=Problem: Create a photo with things that typically don't go together
&credit1=Solution: Taking photos and using Photoshop to create a unique photo
&software1=Software: Photoshop CS3
I thought if I added a 4th dynamic text field (url_txt) and used &url1= for each cite it would load. I even made the field render text as HTML but it doesn't work.
[URL] launch a pdf from a button. The problem is that I will end up launching 47 pdfs from 47 buttons (one per, obviously). What I want to know is, do I need a .bat file for every single .pdf file? or is there some way to consolidate? if I DO need a .bat for each .pdf then do they all have to be at the same level as my main swf? Or can I tuck them into a subdirectory?
