View 7 RepliesTrying to create a DVD from a swf animation. The DVD needs to be able to work on any standard TV connected (non pc) DVD player. I need to export to a video format (.AVI or .MOV) the next bit is what do I need to do to make this file play automatically when the DVD is loaded? Something like you do for CD-ROM an autorun.inf? My animation is 646 px X 346 what is the resolution of a standard LCD tv? Will I need to redesign the animation with more pixels to get it to be optimised on the TV?
View 1 RepliesI'm a designer who uses ID to create eBrochures. I can of course export SWF files and associated resources from ID to upload for web usage, but what I'm trying to do is create Full Screen projectors (amac and PC of these files). I have Flash Cs5, but know nothing about it. I can of course use the Flash PLayer Debugger to openthe ID created SWF and use the 'Create Projector Command' to make a self contained Projector, which is *almost* what I need.
Only problem is the SWF is not / cannot be set from ID to open in Full Screen mode, so the projector inherits that characteristic. Is there some easy way to add some script to the ID file so it open full screen? Or is there some kind of shell FLA I can get that would simply say something like "open content.swf and play full screen" then I can use that standardised name for my SWFs and make a projector of that ?
We would like to start creating RIA using Flash, focusing more-so on the side of enterprise level web applications rather than simple Flash animations. I need to start getting my design/development group here up to speed on Flash, but cannot make heads or tails of the software to focus on from Adobe. Flash Professional CS5, Flash Catalyst CS5 or Flash Builder 4?

View 4 RepliesI am trying to create a dice that doubles up as a 60 second timer that counts from 60 to 0. I have managed to create the timer with some actionscript and a single frame swf, one layer for the AS 3 and one for the dynamic text box. I have also create a die from four 60*60 squares that animates 90 degree's so it looks as if it is rolling.
My issue is, how do I bring these together? As the clock/timer is dynamic textbox it can't be animated around 3D space, so it needs to be converted into a movie clip (to the best of my knowledge). when I do this, the actionscript no longer works as it's no longer having to update the text attribute of a textfield, but the contents of a movieclip.Next, I tried to import the timer.swf (clock) and dice.swf with the Loader class and loaded each of them into a movieclip, then layered them. This ALMOST works, however unlike the text in timer.swf, the text in this instance is not refreshed and simply writes the updated value over the previous value.Here is what I've ended up with:
AS 3 code:
<code>
var dice:Loader = new Loader();

Does anyone know of a plugin that when creating a new layer, the name of the layer is immediately editable or which brings up a dialog window prompting you to name it, as in photoshop and illustrator?
View 2 RepliesI have a fla file that has a hardcoded variable which is used to validate that a user has permission to run the swf.The variable hold the number of days from the start of the year. If the current date is later - the swf will not play.I need to generate mutliple swfs each with a different day-code (possibly 100s). Apart from editing the .fla and publishing each time,is there any other method of doing this. For example, the code being read form a file and built into to the swf when publishing.
View 1 RepliesHow can I create a component using Flash CS5? I have tried to follow various documents I have found on google and went about it in the following way:
1. I created an empty FLA.
2. I created a MovieClip containing some graphics, and named the MovieClip "MyTestComponent" in the Library.
3. I selected the MovieClip's properties in the Library and selected "Export for Actionscript", and made the MovieClip inherit from fl.core.UIComponent.
4. I saved the FLA in the directory "C:Program Files (x86)AdobeAdobe Flash CS5CommonConfigurationComponents" and restarted Flash. At this point I would expect that the MyTestComponent component would show up in the Components panel, but it did not.
5. I tried to publish the FLA as an SWC file and place the SWC file in the same file as above. According to my understanding, both this and the step above should have worked, but it did not.
on picture 1 I'll start with a blank white box that slides to the right revealing a sketch of a picture and on picture 2 the whole picture is revealed.Then on 3, the line goes back to the left starting to reveal the real picture.I had no problems doing the 1 and 2nd step in flash but dont know how I do the 3rd, how do I make the sketch picture dissapear after the line has gone over it???

View 2 RepliesI would like to create a simple 2D interactive grid. The user should be able to increase and decrease the number of axis (both X and Y simultaneously) that compose the grid, and also the scale of the grid itself (Zoom in and Out).
If this goes well enough, I would like to be able to plot graphical content on the grid that visually changes as the grid itself changes. They should, in some way, be linked to one another and correspondingly affected by the same two parameters. This, however, would be a second step. I am more concerned with the base grid model at this point.
So I've gone through a few different websites looking for a way to make a symbol a link, and I keep running into the same problem. I am using action script 3.For example, I got this code from this page:[url]....[code]......
It makes the symbol (logolink) a link (changed the mouse cursor to a pointer), but it kills my animations and errors out saying (all on line 4...the function callLink line): "expecting leftparen before colon", "expecting identifier before leftbrace", and "expecting rightparen before leftbrace".I tried a few things like adding an unused parameter, and a couple other things (trying to satisfy the above errors), but then I get "call to possibly undefined method addEventListener through a reference with static type Class"
