Professional :: 6rounds: Developers API Launched?
Jun 23, 2010
We just launched our developers API and I'd like to give the official Flash community a small update about the API because it's hopefully interesting for you as professional Flash developers
6rounds is a flash based social entertainment platform which mixes webcam chats and interactive features with fun multi-player games and applications. At the moment we are running the destination site 6rounds.com and providing the only Google Wave video chat extension. Furthermore, you will soon have the opportunity to embed your apps in a stand-alone widget, anywhere across the web, which will allow even faster distribution of your application. Besides that, we are going to release a Facebook application really soon!
Using our API, you can quickly and easily transform your existing applications into the video chat experience, or create new applications, both of which can leverage the platform's inherent ability to deploy gifts, effects, and background themes into the video chat environment.

I have an ActionScript 2.0 project with a very simple timeline Alpha Tween ("Classic tween" in CS4) of a movie clip. I need to reposition the movie clip dynamically when the movie is launched, before the Tween is executed (as in "x_mc._x = 100;").
I found out that after changing the clip position the Alpha Tween as well as the Alpha final value are totally ingored. The clip is shown in the updated position but remains throughout in the Alpha setting of the first keyframe (even when it reaches the last keyframe which has a different Alpha setting). I verified that the Tween itself is executed by placing Trace statements at both keyframes. If I remove the repositioning statement, the Alpha Tween works fine (but of course in the original position which is wrong)

I've usually designed Flex applications myself but this time I'll need a designer to assist with skinning the application. I've worked with this designer for a while, and we could work well on an HTML/CSS environment. He can't code, he sends me sliced PSDs which I could convert to clean code. But I'm not sure how to have him assist me with Flex UI as he's not familiar with the components.How do you guys interface with designers for your applications?

This may be a weird question, but I'm wondering if there's any way to efficiently (perhaps using namespaces?) have different default variables in a class per developer in an actionscript project. I ask because we're currently working on a series of Flash games: 24 in total. Each is loaded by a shell container. The shell receives a flash var for which game to load. In our development environment (Flash/FlashDevelop), there are no flashvars, so a constant in the AS defines which game to load when there's no flashvar:

What programming tests do company's give Flash developers?
I would like to level the playing field for developers and recruiters.
I've heard companies give debugging tests with broken documents you have to fix. Flash developers could include Flash IDE users and actionscript programmers.
Everyone would like to know what to expect and understand some of the blind spots we face. A rundown on "what to be prepared for" may be a right answer. Best anecdote or inside scoop on major companies is good too (don't have to use real names, it's up to you). Perhaps you have an opinion of what is fair or reasonable, I'd like to know.

I've tried applying Ilyas' infinite menu to the Senocular's XML portfolio. However, the movement looks bad--you can see where the thumbs stop and begin. I was wondering how this could be fixed??
Also, would it be possible that when you click on a thumbnail, a PDF file is launched? How could I do this from the XML file?
I'm trying to create a continuous scrolling horizontal menu. The menu would contain pictures of news articles and when you click on the picture, you could read the article in the PDF!
Since each article is pretty long, like news clippings, I don't think having this info in a flash pop-up box would work?

I've been working for a month on a flash game, which should be manageable to play in a browser (light computation). This being said, I've noticed that in some browsers the game runs at what looks like 15 fps (the game should run in 80fps). This has been known to happen in IE9, and the quick fix was to add this line to the top of the html: <meta http-equiv="X-UA-Compatible" value="IE=9"> This was a quick-fix that forces IE into compatibility mode and greatly improved the fps (to about... 60, let's say). Still, I believe that the game is running slower than it should in every browser, which is evident when the html version is compared to the swf.

I'm wanting to create a moving object that will be exported into a tv commercial. Object has already been created in Adobe Illustrator, and now will be dropped into flash for adding movement. The destination commercial will be created in Sony Vegas, with the settings of (Australian) PAL television (25 fps, 576x720 pixels, lower field first).Thus keeping it simple, I want to set Adobe flash with the same output format, meaning that the canvas will have to be 576x720 pixels at 25 fps. So far this seems to have worked okay.Now I'm wanting to get rid of the canvas colour, just like I have here in this photoshop screen shot.
Judging by the colour palette in Flash Professional, it looks like it can't be done. I've checked "transparent palette" through yahoo and google, and had no results. The adobe documentation only details how to remove a background in Photoshop.

I'm a bit confused with the purpose of these programs. For example if I want to create a game or utility app that runs on air. Can I design it in Flash Professional and later open in Builder for more heavy coding? Or is Catalyst supposed to be used as the design program?
I used to think that you design stuff in Flash Professional and then open the project up in Builder to do more deep coding.

I downloaded the trial version so I could work on the final project for class but for some reason when I tried to save it my computer froze up. Is this because the save feature is turned off for the trial version or was it just my computer? If I can't save using the trial version than I wasted memory on my computer and a lot of my time downloading the trial version that isn't going to be very useful to me.

I recently purchased and installed Flash CS4 Professional on my home computer (HP Windows XP Media Center Edition). AS2 works as a Publish Setting, but AS3 does not function in any way.After my initial installation, I ran a CS4 update of all programs, including updating Flash CS4 to 10.0.2.I have uninstalled the software and re-installed it in the "simplified" mode. Updated to v10.0.2; no change in AS3 failure. I have run the Adobe Support Analyzer, and an error has been found in the installation log file (for both the initial installation and the re-installation). But use of the Package for Support button (repeatedly, over 4 days) fails to upload and fails to produce a "key", yielding this message: "The storage server is unavailable! Please try again later."Here is what I mean by ActionScript 3 failure:With any script in the Actions-Frame panel, clicking Check Syntax produces this message: "This script contains errors. The errors encountered are listed in the Compiler Errors Panel." The Compiler Errors Panel is always blank. When I am working in AS2, an intentional script error immediately is identified correctly in the Compiler Errors Panel.With any script in the Actions-Frame panel, clicking Auto Format produces this message: "This script contains syntax errors, so it cannot be Auto Formatted. Fix the errors and try again."Any .swf produced with CTRL+Enter sits in its initial state and does not run or otherwise have interactivity..
fla files I have found the failure with include: AS3 examples from the Adobe Flash website; AS3 files I produced with Flash CS3 Professional on a previous employer's computer; a simple "stop();" in the Actions-Frame panel for the first frame of a movie clip.I have also made sure that my computer has updated versions of the Flash 10, 9, and 8 players. A .swf file (AS3, Player 9) I made with my employer's Flash CS3 software runs fine on my computer. But producing a new .swf from the same .fla file on my home computer with CS4 yields an inactive file.Adobe technical support is unable to deal with ActionScript problems and referred me to the community of Adobe expert users.

I'm running Flash Professional CS5 on Windows XP OS. When using Flash the program is freezing on me. So far this has happened when importing images to the stage, publishing the file and testing the movie. My only option is to force Flash to close. Sometimes, this freezing is accompanied by the standard "Adobe Flash has encountered an error and needs to close" message, but this is not always the case. This is my first time using Flash, and I'm creating a video using ~400 BMP's so the .fla file is quite large (12MB).

I was going to download the trial version of Flash Professional CS5.5 but when I got to the download page it wasn't downloading. The "Download now" button was there, but it was unclickable, when I clicked on it it didn't work, plus it was a little dimmer than I remember it was when I downloaded another trial. I'm also using the latest version of Google Chrome and I tried downloading it on IE and Firefox.So, is there any solution to this?

My site that mainly has Flash was recently updated with a file made from CS5. In my google dashboard there are a lot of new keywords that are only in the Flash file. My page ranking also dropped from 4 to 11. Does anyone know if any changes from CS4 to CS5 could have caused this? If so, what can I do to disable this compatibility with search engines?

I'm a designer considering creating a video project with Flash. I've read some of the security threads on the board, but they are way over my head. I will have a simple Flash file with text and a dozen imported FLV video files.If I use the "protect from import" option, will that keep the videos from being stolen from within the swf? Or, is that just a mediocre hurdle that can be easily overcome by someone wanting to dig into my file?
