Yesterday I was working in an exhaustive animation when the computer turned off. When I turned the PC on again there was a message about a recovery file. I opened the recovery file: it was the animation I was working with. I finished my work and closed the recovery file. Today I was looking for the file I was working with and I can't find it: Flash gives me just the original file not the recovery file.

I am trying to build a .xml image scroller using the scroll pane component in CS4.I choose Actionscript3. Drag the component to the stage. Give it an instance name.Then I look for the Parameters that used to be in the properties panel in CS3. Not there anymore.I find that the Components Inspector has Parameters in there now.OK.I need to use ContentPath to tell the component where the .xml file is so it can find the images for the scroller.Can't find 'ContentPath'.How can I point the component to a .xml file?Is there a way of getting Parameters back in with properties - it was so much easier.
View 5 RepliesI have purchased an image gallery program that works fine but I am struggling to make a very minor modification. I have asked the author for assistance but previous requests have met with no response so I am also asking my question here. This program has most of its logic in an external AS2 file. I have made some small changes to this file and want to save it under a new name. However, that would also require me to change the reference to the external AS2 file from within the fla file. That's where my problem lies. I can't find any code in the fla that contains such a reference.
If I try to publish an swf without this file in the required location it causes a compiler error thus proving that there must be a reference somewhere to that file. However, doing a search for this AS2 file in the 'current document' when viewing the fla file in Flash CS4 produces no results. Where else could this reference be hidden?
I have a small issue in ActionScript 2.0. I want to know the stage width and height for external SWF file. I used the following code:
var loader:MovieClip = _root.createEmptyMovieClip('loader', 1);var obj:Object = new Object();var mcl:MovieClipLoader = new MovieClipLoader();mcl.loadClip("external.swf",loader);mcl.addListener(obj);
obj.onLoadInit = function(mc){ trace(mc._width); trace(mc._height);};
It's showing the whole animation's width and height but I want only stage width & height?
I see that the background music in my Flash site is located in a symbol called muz When I click the properties of this symbol, the sound file's location is listed as.flashsoundmuz.wav I couldn't find that sound sub-folder in the flash folder nor could I find the file. I tried doing a search to look for the muz.wav file in my computer but it could not be found. Does anyone know how I can find and save this file?
View 3 RepliesI have a fla that does a few things before loading in a .flv file and playing this. All this works fine, now comes the issue.
I have to find when the player stops.
I have tested around with cuepoints as well as many other options and found this code on these forums, where at least my flv file is played through, but the buffer throws an error[code]...

This probably a stupid question, but I really can't figure it out.But I'm creating a XML Flash site. I can easily edit text and such with the XML file, but I'm trying to imbed a youtube video on the second page of the site, but for the life of me I cannot locate the second page in the .fla file.How can I locate allt he pages within the site? I've tried moving the 'playhead' but that didn't work.I found what I think is the menu that contains the links to the differnet pages in the site. But how do I go into the different items to view/edit the contents.

View 2 RepliesI found there is a bug in this highlight editor: [URL]
The following ASP.Net code can't be highlighted correctly
<%@ Page Title="<%$ Resources: XXX %>" Language="C#" ContentType="text/html" ResponseEncoding="utf-8" %>
The problem is about the regular expression, how can I find this whole line by regular expression?
I am using the RegExp from ActionScript3
The main challenges are:
The <%@ %> instruction may contains another <%$ %> instruction in its attribute, just like the one above The <%@ %> instruction may have a line break in it, just like the following.

I'm fairly new to using Flash, only one previous project to my name.
I'm an OOP programmer in other languages so using classes appeals to me and I want to use them in my next project. However I'm having problems after following tutorials on-line.
I've created a classes file called ScreenWordClass.as and within it is a very simple definition for this class at present. But when I try to use this class with say[code]...
when I use the Edit/Find and Replace function, the results portion at the bottom doesn't reveal enough information under Location. I can see "Scene 'Scene 1' -> Layer ' " and that's all. I know if I click on that line the relevant window will open but when doing a "Find All" it's useful to know more information about the Location instead of clicking on every line. That Location column of the window will not widen with the drag icon. I can move the dividers from the other columns to the left but not to the right.

- I create a photo slideshow in AE
- I export from AE to an FLV file
- I put the FLV file in the root folder of my website
- I use the 'import video' command in Flash
- I choose 'none' for the skin.
- Then I drag a pause/play button to the stage and customize it a bit.
- I export or publish to create a swf file.
- In the component inspector I have tried now several things for the source link: /mysitename/photoslideshow.flv and /users/myname/sites/mysitename/photoslideshow.flv
- In dreamweaver I choose insert SWF and select the SWF file that is next to the FLV file in the root folder of my website. I have tried both options relative to: document and site root.
- I check to make sure the webpage, flv and swf files are published to the server.
- The FLV MIME type is indeed enabled on my server.
- When going online get an error that it cannot find the FLV!
I tried a test with a FLV file I created and using just a regular skin. The same thing happens
I have solved this problem before the first time it happened to 'put' the ENTIRE site in dremweaver vs only the individual files. But this time I have also tried that to no avail.
How can I find a given bitmap pattern on a bitmap ( loaded jpeg )? Is there any flash classes / functions for this purpose?Here is the sample image and has 4 patterns.What I want is to get the bounding informations of the 4 patterns on the image ( x , y , width , height ).
View 1 RepliesI'm presently working with the trial version of CS5 while my work sorts out my new laptop and licence.One thing, hopefully simple, that is confusing me is that I can't find the animation panel. I would like to be able to apply motion presets while changing the properties of the preset. E.g. have a bounce over a longer time, with a shorter vertical drop, etc. Help files say to use the animation panel, Window > Interactive > Animation.But I can't find this. If I look in my Windows menu, I can't find a submenu called "Interactive". How can I find this panel?
View 3 RepliesI bought a web template and have been working my way through the included FLA file (using adobe flash professional css). I have figured out how to do most things but am stumped with one of the movies clips. If you go to the site you will see the image slideshow. The text I am trying to modify is the bottom right box. I was able to change the first round of text which I found in a movie clip called obj 12. The problem is the I cannot find the text after that "Perfect solutions for every space" and so on. I have all the layers visable for obj 12 (everything under the eye is unchecked) and everything under the lock is unchecked. I see layer for the two lines of images which I was able to change but then there are no other layers for the other text. I went through every image/clip in the library

In this tutorial : [URL]...it is said about something for color effect in properties pane. I can see the property pane but I can't find Color Effect. I'm using Flash Professional CS5.5. P.S.- This was my first Flash Tutorial (and that's really first one.)
View 2 RepliesI have made a simple copy file in php that when I type in a name in my swf it saves a swf file that I have already created. But what I want is to beable to pass my vars to this swf -- but the only way I can think of is to say if(active file name == myxml.value[x]){do this}
I don't even know if this is an option or a good solution but is there away that flash can find the active file name.

View 9 RepliesIm working on a project where files are being loaded using the URLloader in flash as3. I need to be able to find the last modified date of the file that is being loaded, unfortunately the files may not always be on the same server as the flash app, so it may not always be possible for me to add a line to the file that has the last modified date, that could be read easily in flash. I was wondering if anyone knew of a way to retreive this information, I know in air you can use URLLoader.httpResponseStatus which allows you to get the http headers and find it that way but it doesnt appear to work in flash.Id like to try to do this with out having to call on javascript or php to find it, since it would then require 2 connections per file i believe to be able to do everything I need 1 to get contents in flash, and one for either javascript or php to find the last modified date, but if I have to that seems to be the only option I can come up with.
View 2 RepliesHere's an unexplainable problem, at least for me... I'm trying to use Edit --> Find and Replace in Flash CS3 to replace a line of code that occurs in many frame scripts throughout the FLA, but when I click "Replace All", it says "No items found". I'm sure everything is set up correctly in the Find and Replace window:Search in: Current Document, for: Text, and I'm sure I'm typing everything correctly. I have "Frames/Layers/Parameters" and "Actionscript" checked below, and everything else unchecked.
View 7 RepliesI recently purchased a macbook pro from eBay which had Flash CS4 already installed on it, but which didn't come with the original documentation or CDs that would have had the serial number. The seller said he would send along the appropriate numbers when he tracked them down, but he never got back to me again. I'd like to upgrade to Flash CS5 now, so is there any way I can find the serial number through the software itself? I've seen similar threads to this one elsewhere in the forums and the most promising answers have involved people locating truncated numbers in the software and asking Adobe to decrypt them. Unfortunately, I can't even find these truncated numbers...

View 3 RepliesI'm using the TouchEvent listener rather than the TransformGestureEvent listener because the TransformGestureEvent listener's built in gestures (particularly zoom) seem to be extremely slow and poorly thought out. So I'm dealing with raw touch data and I need to find the number of current touchpoints. Is there a method that returns the number of touchpoints currently on the screen?
View 1 RepliesI installed a Flash template that has a "Read More" button which is used in several locations of the site. The button corresponds to a single symbol called "button_more" and another symbol within that symbol called "area_more". It's a "Movie Clip" type of symbol, not a "Button" type symbol.
What I'm trying to figure out is where would I find the link to the page where that button points to - it points to different pages of the site depending on where it's located. For example, in the About Us section it links to a page that has more details describing About Us. In the Services section it links to a page that has more details describing Services. So the same symbol is going to different links.
I checked the Properties of the symbol and it doesn't have any option for a link. (I guess it's not really going to a link, but to a different frame in the timeline) But where would I find exactly where each button points to in case I want to edit one of them in the future, or create a new button with a new link?
How can I check my computer for which version flash player is installed on my computer?
View 4 Repliesworking through the tutorial to familiarise myself with basic terms and concepts. I have been working through the behaviours section, assigning behaviours to the video buttons in the example. I've done the play and pause, but when I try to assign a behaviour to the rewind button, there is no rewind behaviour listed in the embedded video section of the add behaviours function. I am using education version 7.2.
