I know how to use Instance_name_here but what I can't work out is that in the example code snippets sometimes you can click on a link or image location that's in blue text and change it to what you want. How do I set this up myself when Creating a code snippet? Currently all my links and image locations appear in unclickable grey text instead of blue

View 1 RepliesAccording to all of the documentation I can find, the code snippets window in Flash Pro CS5 should be prepopulated with common AS3 commands but for some reason it is completely blank.I have looked through my folders and on the adobe website but haven't found any xml files that appear to be what I need. If I were a more advanced user, this probably wouldn't be a problem, but all of the documentation and tutorials I've found start by using the code snippets window with all of the codes already there. Does anyone know if there is somewhere I can retrieve the correct codes or do I have to uninstall/reinstall my Flash Software

View 3 RepliesI'm actually relatively new to flash and actionscript but I could say I have fair knowledge about them. So anyway, I usually build flash websites the traditional way using timeline animation and scripting. Today I had a job interview and they said they're looking for someone who can develop any web design into a Flash CMS with a back-end office for the client to edit the content without having to edit the FLA file or any code.
Accordingly, I'd like to know where and how to start. What are the main concepts I should follow/adapt?
When I click on a field to edit, the | symbol that allows you to type new text (for example, a timeline folder's name) disappears as quickly as it appears, therefore no way to edit anything.

View 2 RepliesI need it so the music plays at start and then the button will pause/stop it, and then turn into a play graphic which, when pressed, will play it again. I tried editing the code, but I am horrible at programming and of course nothing I tried worked. Please let me know what I have to change to start with music playing, and then have it stop/pause on first press, and alternate "play" and "stop" on subsequent presses.

I need to modify the behaviour of an editable datagrid to this:
-Single-click on a row, doesn't make the cell show a text input field (only selects the row)
-Double-click on a row, doesn't make the cell show a text input field either
but
-Clicking a cell in an already selected row, shows a text input field ready to be edited.

View 2 RepliesFor the longest time, I've been tearing my hair out trying to figure out why my CS4 FLAs were getting larger every time I did a Save and Compact. I finally tracked it down to the @#$% metadata. Every time you save an FLA, it appends a useles chunk of metadata to it, that looks something like this:
<rdf:li rdf:parseType="Resource">
<stEvt:action>saved</stEvt:action>
<stEvt:instanceID>xmp.iid:BD2F8041D0ACE01185F1A1E26A912C41</stEvt:ins tanceID>

This can be viewed in Flash by going to File -> File Info... -> Raw Data.
On frequently-updated files, this junk can easily add dozens or hundreds of K to the size of an FLA. So my question is this: Is it possible to edit an FLA's metadata?

View 3 Repliesi am new to Flash and am currently working with an XML based flash template. When i open the .fla file, none of the text or images show up. I understand this is b/c i have to edit the xml file in dreamweaver. However that is a very complicated way of doing it b/c then i have to keep going back and forth between several programs and saving, and updating, and never getting of "live view" of the chages i am making. My question is: Is there really no way for me to edit the whole xml flash template in Flash CS5? Meaning is there some sort of way to import or manipulate the files so that i can edit the text and images directly in flash pro cs5 and not having to keep going into dreamweaver?
View 3 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 2 RepliesI'm trying to edit a .fla file. It's actually a flash game, a dating sim game to be specific. Now, the game has dialogues where you have to press a "next button" so that the next dialogue will appear, but I've noticed that all the dialogues are gone, they're not appearing at all. It's just a blank space. At the same time, the game has dynamic texts like money, energy and name of the player but likewise it's just an empty space. I've noticed that when I exported the game as swf. The text appears but it's distorted. For example the dialogue "Where am I" would appear as "a aa ii". I've also noticed that when I opened the .fla, it says that there are fonts missing.. I dont know if that has something to do with this..
