I am a programmer who is working with a client's flash designers. Most of my client's personnel have CS3. I recently upgraded to CS5 due to another contract that I am working on for a different client. Will I be able to modify my CS3 designer's .fla file, save and hand back to them to finish designing?? Will they be able to open up my modified document?
View 1 RepliesI am a Java programmer and I can read and edit most anything I get my hands on. I don't work much with flash and when I do there is no reason to look at any sort of source.I received a file from someone to add to a project and the instructions were to open the .fla in CS5 and edit certain lines to pioint to directories . The file is and interactive app type.I have tried doing this but I am at a loss. I had thought that I would just be able to view some source in the file and edit those lines and export the ,swf, but I can see nothing like that.
View 3 RepliesI have a number of different videos (all of the same duration and resolution) encoded with almost the same content - however they have different colour schemes, etc., and I require my FLV player to be able to switch seamlessly between them.
That is, if the player is currently playing "test1.flv" and the user presses the 'switch' button, I want to switch over to playing "test2.flv" in the same player, picking up at the same point in time.
I used to have a server-side solution that could fake this, but that isn't a long-term solution. Might I ask how you experts would handle something like this?
Do I need Flash Media Server, or can it be done with just Flash?
I have an actionscript file,it has a package name,it locate C:demo directory,like follows:
package demo{
import flash.display.*;
public class ABC extends Sprite{[code]............
Then I compile above code like following command,but it raise following error:
C:>mxmlc demoABC.as
Loading configuration file C:sdkframeworksflex-config.xml
C:demoABC.as: Error: A file found in a source-path must have the same package structure '', as the definition's package, 'demo'.Where is wrong above command?
Are there any cs4 source files anywhere for a simple mp3 player? I looked in the components for a mediaplayer component and I don't see it.

View 5 Repliesi have a Air Project in which i have added three extenal source folders. but when i reopen project or strat flash builder again i get icon on those folder like this but when i open the configuration for that project and try to validate the path and adding it again i get message like this but the path is valid. proof is this pic what could be possible error,,, is there any way that i when ever re-open project i get no warning and able to navigate through the linked source code. now i am doing it
1- deleting on of the linked folder
2- again adding that folder.
So inside my src folder I have my app.mxml file. I have a source directory pointed to my actionscript library.It appears that Flex does not look inside that source directory including an .as file within the master mxml file.
Code:
<mx:Script source="com/domain/something/somethingelse/app.as"/>
I could just have the main app.as file inside the src folder along with my app.mxml file but it would be nice if it could live in the actionscript library.
I have a small flash project. I created a SWF from the flash sources.Unfortunately all my flash sources related to the project are deleted.
I left with the SWF file. Is there any way that I can retrieve all the flash source files from the swf file ?
I have a number of sound files hosted by a third-party.I would like to embed these on my site in some kind of player for streaming.However, I need to hide the source URLs of these files from my users.The point is to prevent users from discovering information about the third-party services we use, as some of this info is considered proprietary.There is obviously no way to do this in straight html. Most methods that I have seen of embedding audio would leave URLs easily discoverable by just viewing the page source.Is there a good way to keep this data hidden?

What is the best way to protect the source code in a .as file? Right now if you access the .as in a web browser the source code is displayed. The problem is that when the .swf file is loaded on the client's machine, so is the .as file.
View 4 Repliesif is possible to generate a source code from a FLA file?
View 2 RepliesSay I have "Symbol 1" in FLA document "DocOne". I drag this symbol from DocOne's library into "DocTwo"'s library. Now, in DocTwo's library, the properties for Symbol 1 show that the source is "DocOne". I can use the symbol update functionality to update it from DocOne. Is there a way to sever this linkage so that Symbol 1 in DocTwo no longer considers Symbol 1 from DocOne to be its source? So that, for example, if I drag it over from DocTwo to DocThree, Symbol 1 in DocThree, its source in DocThree will be DocTwo and not DocOne?
View 3 RepliesI need to build an SWF with a FLVPlayback component that gets its FLV source from flashvars pased in at runtime via javascript.
This is the code I am using on the page:

I'm trying to have Flash execute a file, and I can get FSCOMMAND to work. Sort of. While I can use it to run a single batch file, what I really need to do is to pass a parameter from within Flash to the item being executed. I'm currently using Flash to allow a user to select some items, and I need to pass that selection out of it in order to kick off some other processes (Flash is basically just my GUI interface right now until I learn more about how to do things in it).
I don't care if it's a batch file or JavaScript or anything that's not uber complex (so no .NET or C++). I just need to find something that we can run internally for our company (either from an .HTML or a .EXE file output from Flash - not too picky there either).
Every security setting is turned to its lowest setting on IE9. Every single Norton setting is turned off, every one. No file scanning is taking place.
Nevertheless, the scroll bar goes to 12%, sits there, looks stupid, and then the message appears "Cannot contact reliable source".
I set Norton to recognize the file as a trusted file. No difference.
Is Adobe deciding to make these downloads impossibly difficult as a business strategy? Never in my decades of using computers (I've been doing so since 1972) have I encountered such a ridiculous procedure.
And I'm supposed to pay $39 for stupidty? Why, as far as I'm concerned, Adobe should be fined for the idiocy it is doing to its customers. Even having to close the browser at the right time (I never get that far) is the dumbest procedure I've ever seen. Or is this part of a strategy to sell Macs?

View 2 RepliesI am trying to center align a caption for a Photo Gallery.But by default the captions are aligning to Paragraph Left.You can view the link here:
Photo Gallery

Here is the text format code from the accompanying *.as file:

var tf:TextFormat=new TextFormat();
tf.font='Verdana';
tf.color=0x3;
tf.align=TextFormatAlign.CENTER;
var t:TextField=new TextField();
t.embedFonts=true;
t.alpha=0;
t.selectable=false;
t.setTextFormat(tf);
addChild(t);

To have an idea i also included the source file *.as files.
We use subversion, which works great for software projects. We also have a lot of flash projects, which we don't use any kind of source control. Each flash project contain quite a few images. The time frame of each project is a couple weeks, but few can go upto a couple months.
The number of files we create contribute to quite a bit of file size. To keep repository size at a minimum, we want to keep the latest version only and wipe out previous history once a project is finished. History is useless to us after a project is finished.
It looked into subversion, but it doesn't allow to remove anything from the repository. I need to perform this workaround here.
One easy way is creating a separate repository for each project. When the project is over, save the latest version to archive and wipe out the repository. The number of active projects is about 50 - 100. Is there any issue with creating one repository per project?

View 1 RepliesIn a very simple first AIR application (I'm using Flash Builder 4.5), I am trying to accomplish the following on my MacBook:
Read a local file (JSON format) into the AIR app. Parse through the file. Display some selected contents in a grid.
That's it.
I've found an example that does some simple JSON parsing in Flex, but the problem is that it loads the JSON source from a remote web site.
So do I need to load any file-specific libraries to make this work in AIR? Or can I simply refer to the file by using the Mac file-path? I just want the local file to be the JSON source. The parsing is already taken care of.

I'm not if a flvplayback bug.I have always the possibility to make a map folder, but this application is for a client, and if I can solve if add new map folder, it's better to me.
