Professional :: CS5.5 Import For Runtime Sharing And Preview

Jul 1, 2011

I'm having a strange issue with CS5.5 and the import for runtime sharing settings. Here's what I'm doing: I create two .fla's, Export.fla and Import.fla. In Export.fla, I create a shape, select it, press F8 and tick export for runtime sharing, to create a really simple exported movie clip. I click the exported symbol in the library, press Ctrl-C, switch to Import.fla and press Ctrl-V. Everything ok so far, the symbol is imported for runtime sharing.

The first problem I have at this stage is that changes I do to the exported symbol in Export.fla are not reflected in Import.fla, only in the final .swf's I can see the changes. Also, unlike in CS4 and CS5 I cannot "Update" the imported symbol in the library right-click menu, to make changes to Export.fla visible in Import.fla. The menu entry is just greyed out...

So I tried to use Authortime sharing, in the Symbol Properties for the imported symbol in Import.fla. I link the source to the symbol in Export.fla, and once I do that, everything is completely borked. The previously imported symbol is no longer imported. Whenever it is changed in Export.fla, it gets an "Export for Runtime Sharing" tick in its Properties in Import.fla, and worst, it is not shared at runtime, like I need it to. how to get the "normal" CS/4/5 behaviour in CS5.5: a runtime shared symbol, that can be updated in Import.fla (I dont care if manually or auotmatically) when I change it in Export.fla, and which also is runtime shared?

Professional :: Flash CS5.5 - Font Outlines Still Get Embeded While Using Runtime Sharing?

May 31, 2011

I have a project where I use several SWFs and have the fonts outlines stored into a seperate SWF. Within the .fla file's I have checked the Import for runtime sharing with the various font definitions.In the library the linkage part shows for every font the Import: classnamTo get a correct idea how things look within the IDE, I've checked several character ranges within the font properties so the preview renders correctly.In Flash CS5 everything was working correctly; no font outline was included within the SWF. The size report also shows this.When I create the SWF with Flash CS5.5 font outlines of the selected ranges still get embedded into the SWF. The file size of the SWF is much larger and the font outline information shows up in the size report.

Flash :: Pro CS 5.5 Runtime Sharing Bug - Fonts?

Sep 19, 2011

I have an issue with an apparent bug in Flash Pro CS5.5. I have recently upgraded to CS5.5 Master Collection from my previous version of 4.0. The bug is when I create a fonts FLA file with fonts embedded in it that I want to use throughout an entire site. I correctly configure those fonts as export for runtime sharing.

In any other FLAs in which I wish to use the shared fonts, I either (a) drag the assets from one library to the other, or (b) add them to the new fla and configure them as import for runtime sharing (both of which achieve the same result).

IDE :: Using Runtime Sharing Of Multiple SWFs?

Nov 1, 2011

I'm currently planning out the UI for a game with a complex UI system. I have done some runtime sharing tests using fonts that are setup for sharing in one fla, and I've setup the import in another. Both files are exported as swc files and are included in the flash develop project (the font is included completely). This worked fine.What I would like to do is have my UI loaded on-demand. I was planning to have a general UI elements library that contains elements setup for sharing (similar to the font), then have separate swfs that are loaded into the main swf when they are needed. These separate swfs would use elements from the shared library. I can get this to work exclusively in the IDE, or exclusively on the server, but not both (making development awkward).

The big stumbling block I'm hitting is to do with setting up the URL paths.I think that all of the runtime paths will be based on the running 'Main' swf location. So all import/export paths need to use paths that work from this root location.for example 'data/ui/top_ui.swf' might import objects from 'ui_elements.swf' (effectively 'data/ui/ui_elements.swf'). This import will function fine when testing from the IDE, but when running on the server, this will fail as it will try to load 'ui_elements.swf' from the root folder. Worse still, it will not fire an error (as it has found 'top_ui.swf' fine) but the load will never complete as it cannot find the runtime swf.

The reason for this folder structure is that we would really prefer to keep our assets in a folder that could in theory be re-located to another server (should the bandwidth usage dictate it). To put these ui swfs in their own folder then causes all the linkage to break in the Flash IDE making editing a kludge. Fix it in the IDE and it will no longer function on load.At the moment it looks like we will just have to export swc files and embed the lot in the main swf to keep this easy for code and art.

ActionScript 3.0 :: Runtime Sharing Fonts And Preloading With URL Query Parameters

Sep 5, 2010

I have a font embedded in a SWF file, font.swf, with 'Export for runtime sharing' ticked. I have another SWF which uses this font and has 'Import for runtime sharing' ticked and the URL property pointing to the font.swf file. When the second SWF file is loaded it automatically loads the font.swf. Now I want to preload the font file instead of letting flash automatically load it; I do this using a Loader to simply load the font file beforehand. The problem is that when I preload the font file I want to use version parameter to make sure that the latest version of the file is loaded eg:
font.swf?version=1.4
Now even though I have loaded the font file flash loads it a second time because the the urls differ. I'm using CS5.

ActionScript 2.0 :: Set The Linkage To "Export For Runtime Sharing" And Put It On The Stage

Apr 6, 2008

I must be missing something. I'm trying to set up a Shared Library. I created one Symbol, set the Linkage to "Export for runtime sharing" and put it on the stage. Publish, looks great.

Whenever I create a second (or third or fourth) Symbol and set it to "Export for runtime sharing" it won't appear on the stage, and further creates havoc with the first Symbol already on the stage, changing it's appearance when published.

AND, when placed into a .fla that's accessing the Shared Library, the second or third symbol when placed on the stage also won't appear when I publish that file

The URL for all Symbols is the same, library.swf, and it's in the same directory as the

IDE :: CS5 - Setting URLs For Import / Export For Runtime Shared Library

Aug 27, 2010

Summary: I don't quite understand how the import/export URLs for symbols in a runtime library work. I can't figure out how I can set them so that the runtime library will be properly loaded and accessible for other swfs to import from, if I want it to work both in a local environment (on my harddrive), and from a remote environment (on a web page).

Relative URLs seem to work great for the hard-drive case, but fail for the web page. Is there a magic way to set the relative URL to work from the web too? And/or, is there some way of manually loading up the RSL at runtime and making the importing swfs import from that loaded copy, rather than having Flash doing it behind the scenes based on the import URL set in the symbol? Following is a longish description of what I'm trying to do, and why... I'm trying to figure out if we can use RSLs to contain common UI controls for our next project. I'm running into an organizational issue that I can't quite figure out - how to get the RSLs to work in both a local development/debugging environment, and on a production web environment, with the same exporting/importing URLs.

Here's what my setup would look like. Say I have a main application main.swf, an RSL lib.swf, and a UI module dialog.swf. Main.swf loads or embeds dialog.swf. lib.swf exports some symbols that dialog.swf imports. On a local development environment, these swfs are found in folders like so:

Professional :: How To Setup Authortime Sharing Efficiently

Jun 3, 2011

I have one fla with a lot of library symbols. At some time part of these symbols were copied to another fla, and updated. Rather than copying the modified symbols back to the original movie, I want to use authortime sharing. So I click on one symbol at a time in the original fla, click source, scroll to the other file in the file chooser, wait for the library to open, scroll to an identically named clip inside an identically named folder ....the source is shown as a full path - is there a way to make it relative (in fact the two fla files reside in the same folder)?

Professional :: Button Won't Stop Flashing In SWF Preview?

Jun 26, 2009

I'm in the process of switching from AS 2.0 to AS 3.0, so apologies if this is really obvious.. I am modifying/updating an old template for a client and am inserting customized navigation buttons. One is a play/pause button and I was able to swap the old buttons for the new in the library and show them on the stage with no problems. When I export to swf to preview the movie, the new button just flashes repeatedly between the different "play" and "pause" states (up, over, etc).

I checked to make sure I didn't change any names of the buttons or movie clips.  I tried inserting stop(); but it doesn't work...probably because I'm not putting it in the right spot.  When I select the button, it has "up, over, down, hit" in the Timeline and says the selection can't have any actions applied to it.
