I'm using Flash CS5 and am currently working on an animation/advertisement as part of my final exam in Applied Art. This is a relatively large file consisting of internally animated Graphics and Movie Clips. When playing it in the .SWF player it seems to play fine with no extreme lag accept for a single second at the beginning but when exported to a .mov file it plays extremely slowly causing the frame rate to decrease considerably.I need to upload this onto my youtube channel when it is done as the link needs to be sent to the examiner. All this may have something to do with the fact the .mov file, although unfinished, already weighs 75.6MB at 30 seconds of work.

All is good and well except for the checkboxes I am working on - In some instances I have 4 possible checkboxes and as one is checked the others are cleared. I have done this simply by moving to a frame and reassigning the variable using the code below:

I want to create a custom list in Flex for an interface prototype. The list is supposed to have an image and 3 text fields. This is what I have done so far, the control displayed is what I want. But, when I click on one of the items, the item does not appear (visually) to be selected. I was not sure how I would implement this.
Here is my code so far:
<s:List width="400" height="220"
dataProvider="{arrColl}"
alternatingItemColors="[#EEEEEE, white]">

I watched the very useful Custom Panel Extension tutorial. But the tutorial doesn't show how to get data such as info about my current selection back to my custom panel. MMExecute seems like a one way street.
Specifically, I want to display a selection's X and Y position in the custom panel. How do I call fl.getDocumentDOM().getSelectionRect() in such a way that the results are accessible to the panel?

View 1 RepliesI never realized that fl.getDocumentDOM().selection doesn't retain the selection order... <sniff>. I was hoping to build relationships based on the order. I guess I took if for granted that tools like Maya and Max store the selection buffer in order of what was selected. I'm trying to avoid: Select Object, <Press 'Parent' Button>, Select Parent, <Press 'Parent' Button>

View 3 RepliesI have 6 radio buttons spilt into two groups of 3 and one normal button.The first group of radio buttons correspond to colour and the second to texture.My aim is for the user to be able to chose a colour, then chose a texture by use of the radio buttons, click on the normal button named 'create' which loads a corresponding jpg onto another part of the stage according to the colour & texture selection.I am totally stuck on how to code the buttons so this can happen.I'm sure there is an easy (ish) way for this to happen, but i'm no expert and haven't been able to find it or work it out.I've named each radio button individually, grouped the two sets of radio buttons for colour & texture and named the normal button.

View 2 RepliesI have created a SWF file using a class I created as the main class for the swf. this swf is a movieclip with a frame labeld "open" and a stop action at the last frame the main class of the SWF:[code]the problem is when I run the open function, after loading the swf it doesn't stop at the last frame. in fact it does not stop in any of theframes that have stop action in them. So far what i figured out is that if don't convert the content to PageSwf, and put it in a genereal variable and the run the open function it works just fine.[code]

View 3 RepliesI created two custom class called fooClass.as and HelloClass.as Then I want to import both of these Custom Classes in my WorkSpace.fla file
so I do the following I open up my WorkSpace.fla file Press F9 to open up the actionScript panel in FrameOne LayerOne and I type in
import fooClass
import HelloClass
then I want to start using these two classes so I do the following
var work:fooClass = new fooClass();
var space:HelloClass = new HelloClass();
Technically speaking when I type in var work: I should see list of classes inside the library including my custom Class fooClass and HelloClass However after the colon I see other build in classes but not fooClass.
It works in CS5 but not CS4. How do I get to work it in CS4 so that I can use the custom class I created to show up in the library.

If I try and drag any of the control points from after the waveform to during it

View 3 RepliesI am trying to set a custom skin URL on an FLVPlayback object. The object is on the stage named vid. When I have the following code: vid.skin = '[URL]'; I get the following error when debugging in the CS5 IDE: Error #1014: Class fl.video::UIManager could not be found When publishing the file to an SWF it "dies" (it stops video playback) at exactly the same point. There is no error message or other indication of what happens in the browser. The flash still seems to work, it responds to ExternalInterface events. It just refuses to play the video. I'm using FLVPlayback 2.5.0.26 with Flash Pro 11.0.2.489 on Win7 64-bit.
How do I fix this? If I comment out the video.skin assignment then the video plays great (except there are no play/pause controls). But when I try to set it I get this internal Flash error. Incidentally if I assign vid.skin = 'invalid/url' then it doesn't die, instead it gives me a warning that the skin cannot be found. The valid.swf url is a copy of the MinimaFlatCustomPlayBackSeekCounterVolMuteFull.swf skin that comes with CS5.

Which product do I need in order to create a customized flash player (and that is all I need to do)? I have a VP6 Alpha Channel.flv movie (transparent background). I would like to create a custom flash player for my website to display and control this movie.The player needs the following properties:
1. Play the movie transparently (using "wmode"?)
2. Play, pause, volume and exit buttons on the control bar
3. Autohide control bar
4. Logo / text on the control bar
5. Ability to unload itself after the movie ends
Which is the right product for me? Any links on how to create this player would be useful.
I have a problem understanding Events and event handling.I have a movieClipA wich contains several other movieClips (a1,A2,A3, etc..)MovieClipA is parent of movieClips (a1,A2,A3, etc..)
In movieClipA I use the following code:
...
addEventListener ( "Pieter", pieterFnP ) ;
dispatchEvent(new Event("Pieter"));[code]....
When I execute the application, function "pieterFnP" is fired, but "pieterFnC" NOT.
I've been looking everywhere but I can't find the solution to this problem. I made a custom cursor and I want the hotspot not to be in the upper left part of the movie clip but in the place of the movie clip that I choose. So, how do you change the hot spot of a custom cursor? I'm using Flash CS4 AS3. I can't believe no one asked this before.
