I understand that I can see the usage count of a Library item easily. I have been assigned a task to edit someone else's Flash movie (I have been provided .fla source).The movies is extremely complex and I need to replace some images. How can I find out on which layer/frame does a Library Item appear on a Flash movie??
View 4 RepliesI am trying to write an AS3 flash app I made in AS2, and I can't figure out how to add an MC from the library onto the stage. In AS3 I would just give the MC a random class name and then use:[code]but in AS2 this throws the error: the class or interface 'class' could not be loaded.

The following script works perfectly, but I can't get the library item (which is a mc, class "helmet") to display. Do I need to import additional classes to display the mc?
package {

import flash.net.URLLoader;
import flash.net.URLRequest;
import flash.events.Event;
import fl.controls.listClasses.CellRenderer;

Is it possible to click on an item in the library and see where it is being used?
View 5 RepliesIs there a way to know how many times a library item is being used in your Flash file?
View 6 Replies I have a large library that I am organizing of vector only files, some imported from Illustrator.
When I re-name some of the items other Movieclip items in the library lose their contents and all that is left is an empty symbol.
I repeated this several times and tried to find workarounds. Like duplicating the symbol. This worked for the one item but then it deleted another symbols contents.
I want to find out how to find objects on stage in order to change their names, using actionscript in run commands.
View 2 RepliesI'm having difficulty getting a photoshop document logo onto the flash stage. I've tried dragging the psd layer onto the stage and also tried importing through flash as a jpeg but no matter what I do, my image has a white box around it which makes any animations look discouragingly terrible. How can I best get multiple psd text layers and also a seperate psd layer that's a portrait cutout without having a white box around the image. All I want to do is make a banner with a gradient background that glows while a portrait cutout glides from the left and text layers appear from the right. What would be the best frame rate for this type of simple animation?

I have an XML object in Flex4 that is populating a tree (amongst other things).
I need to be able to find the name of the selected item when it is clicked in the tree.
For example:
<Object id="">
<Image></Image>
<Cycle></Cycle>

The tags are all predefnied by me so I will know what they are, but I need to be able to know if the item a user has selected is "Object" and do something, or if they select "Action" do something else.
What is the syntax to get the names of these in flex4 and compare them?
am creating a drag and drop activity which utilizes arrays to populate my 'drag' and 'drop' components with their parameters.So far, I am able to get all the drags to work (with a little a few days ago from the boards showthread.php?t=825222) . My problem now is that I need to register which 'drop' is being hit so that I can update the variables for that drop. However, as the drops are in an array, any time I reference that array it uses the information from the third and final drop, even if drop one or two are hit.Here is my code:

var usingDrop:Number;
//the vars below are specific to each drop and used to be declared in the drop array - i

The following code I found on website is for working with the image which is in library. But how to modify it to work with the image on stage. Because I don't want to use it from the library.
Is it the AS2 code or AS3. If it is AS2 code how to modify it to work with AS3.

I am using the CS4 version and when I click on the library item and drag it to the stage, there is nothing there. It is just a blank canvas and it's like the image(s) are hidden behind the stage or something. When I do a Publish Preview, I can see the .swf file with all the images, but in the .fla, there is nothing showing but the text files, and then that is even hidden in a newly created file. I am not sure if I accidently turned something on/off that is preventing my images from not showing on the stage or what. I really need to find a solution to this problem because I need to create a Flash file for a project I am working on in one of my classes. Does anyone know what could be causing this? I have done Google searches and Forum searches to no avail unless I'm not using the right keywords in my search.
View 2 RepliesI'm using Flash CS5's common library to put some buttons on the stage. I've gone into the classic buttons folder and dragged and dropped a blue oval button onto the stage, and it appears in the library, but the button looks totally different to the one in the library. Where the one in the library has shading and a glow effect, the one on stage looks flat, with just a primary colour and no shading or glow. This occurs whether I drag straight from the common library tab to the stage, or from the library panel on the right to the stage.
View 2 RepliesI am unable to add the Action Script 3 FLVPlayback component to my stage or library in Flash CS5.5 when working with an action script 3 document.
Under components in the video folder i click and drag anyone of the FLVPlayback components (FLVPlayback, FLVPlayback 2.5 or FLVPlaybackCaptioning) to the stage and nothing happens. I am unable to add it to my library as well. All the other actionscript 3 components under the Video folder work. (BackButton, BufferingBar, CaptionButton, If I create an actionscript 2 document the FLVPlayback component drags to the stage and adds to the library just fine. So this appears to be an actionscript 3 issue only.
I have 2 other employees in my office using the same product and none of them have this issue. Only me.
I have tried to uninstall the product and reinstall but nothing helps. I have Flash CS3 installed on my PC and the product has the same symptoms as the Flash CS5.5 trial version that I am running.
I did not try this with Flash CS3 before I installed the CS5 trial. So I do not know if it worked prior to my CS5 evaluation.
When I drag a movieclip from the library and create an instance on stage I can select it and look in the properties to see what it's an instance of. If I create the instance dynamically using attachMovie, how can I find out what it's an instance of?
View 5 RepliesEverytime I'm trying to drag an image from the library to the stage, the program crashes. I've been sending the crash logs to Adobe many times, but never got any solution from them.

I need to create an object in code which can then be imported to the stage. Specifically it's a circle with an ellipse cut out of it. The size and position of the ellipse masked out need to be parameterized by sliders, and the size of the circle as a whole is also a parameter which might be dragged out on the stage.
Does anyone have an example of how to programatically create an object in action script which can be imported to the library which can take parameters (or rather expose some methods) which can be wired to other things in the project like a knob or slider?
I can't seem to go to a master edit file that is supposed to show both the body (layer 1) and wing (layer 2) of a flying bird animation. Is there a way to merge these two since I'm planning on shrinking it down and making a lot of birds?He merged the two layers at 14:24 of the video without even explaining how he went to this so called "Edit Master Movie Clip" that seems non-existent on Adobe Flash CS4.
View 1 RepliesI want to create a simple mask. A white oval on a second layer on top of a bottom layer that just has a word of type. I want the oval to travel from the upper left down to cover up the type. When I create the second layer, create the oval, and choose a distant frame for the "end" of the oval's positioning, my type in the first layer disappears as soon as I press F6 on that second layer. Why? Why is it nuking my first layer?
View 3 RepliesI am using a combo-box as a Datagrid ItemEditor (Not just Renderer, my Renderer is a Label, double clicking on a cell makes the combo-box visible, as is the case with all item editors) Now, selecting one of the entries in the combo-box is no problem. But my problem is only when i select the "Fruit", which in turn pops open another layer called "Select Fruit" dialog
Questions: How do i keep item editor, while the focus is on the layer; right now as soon as i click on the fruit, my handler popsup the "Select Fruit" dialog and the focus is on the layer. Once the focus goes out of the editor, the ItemEditor goes away and ItemRenderer label comes back. I want to keep the ItemEditor alive! where do I hook up interms of events like begin/end ItemEdit etc?
I'm confused as to how Flash CS5 treats symbol instances across different frames in a given layer; If I add an object to a layer, and then add a keyframe to the existing frame set, are there now two instances of the object, one for each frame? When I change the color of the instance in the first key frame, the second keyframes instance stays the same. Is there anyway to edit across all frames? Paste across all frames?

determine the base class of a Flash library object at runtime, using Actionscript? The toString method gives me the class of the object, but what I'd really like to determine is the superclass of the object. So, if I have an Actionscript class called "Fruit" and I created many different Fruit types in the Flash library ("Cherry", "Apple", etc.), is there a way in code I can determine that an "Apple" is a child of "Fruit"?
