Professional :: Flash CS5 And Updating To Flash 10.3 And AIR 2.7
Jun 20, 2011
I'm currently running Adobe Flash Professional CS5, and would like to update it to utilize some of the features in AIR 2.7 and Flash 10.3 / Flash 10.2. I encountered a similar problem a ways back when AIR 2 was being released, and I had to resort to ultimately "overlay" the existing installations. I've looked around and found some similar third party resources pertaining to the latest updates, but I've failed to get them to work - some instructions for adding in 10.3 as a build target compile, but they don't seem to be running in 10.3, or the debug player is not running in 10.3.Am I missing something really obvious? I'd think that when a major release is made, it should be straightforward to update your version of CSx to target that release, but it's anything but. I found the release notes for Flash 10.3(url...), and under authoring it says:
"Developers can access new APIs in the Flash Player 10.3 by making manual changes to their existing SDK/tooling configuration. To learn more about the new APIs, read the online ActionScript 3 reference documentation. Adobe Flash Professional CS5.5, Flash Builder 4.5, and Flex SDK 4.5 will not be updated for the new runtime."Where can I find the manual changes required? And why do these releases require manual overlaying anyway?

I'm just about to uninstall and reinstall at this point but I'm getting my install all screwed up trying to update Flash Pro CS5.5 to use Flash Player 11. I had it fine using the MXP provided in this adobe blog. Though that's 11.0 not 11.1. It did work however.
I downloaded the latest Flash Player / Debugger .exe and the latest SWC for 11.1 and now Stage3D is no longer being seen. Clearly I screwed something up. I uninstalled and reinstalled the MXP after deleting the FP11 XML and FP11 directory but it's not working anymore.
Is there a clear cut simple way to explain how to overlay the latest Flash Player for FPCS5.5? I used the AIR overlay instructions for 2.6 - 3.1 and it worked every time. Now I just need Flash Player overlay instructions. I'm very interested to start trying to Starling framework with Stage3D. I select FP11 to export and it tells me it can't find Stage3D.

Firstly i am not sure if this is the correct forum, basically i have updated my flash movie on my website, and the updates have taken effect in mozilla and google chrome, however in IE 7 & 8 the old flash movie still displays. I get this is down to the cache and i have tried several code snippets to correct this but nothing seems to make a difference.Is there anything that i can do with the flash code to force the browsers to reload the the movie each time they visit?

I'll start off by saying that I'm new to Flash. I'm using the CS5 Web Premium suite and want to publish an updated version of a Flash movie that contains PhotoShop files which I've recently modified. Unfortunately, when I open the .FLA file in Flash Professional CS5, it's not apparent to me how to do this. I don't see the PhotoShop files anywhere in the Library pane and thus can't figure out a way to update the Flash movie to recognize my newly modified .PSD files.

I am working with two versions of flash storybooks that we sell.. flash 7 and flash 10 active x.5 of our storybooks are in version 7 and the other 2 are in 10. I am not sure if we have the original project files or not, so I will assume we don't. Is there any way to unassemble the flash 7 storybook (.exe), update it to flash 10, and build it? I am a programmer but hardly know anything about flash.

I try to create a dynamic web gallery in flash that feeds it's content from a XML DB, so it's easy to update and maintain the gallery (right?!). What I have, is the gallery specs in the flash movie itself:
// container dimensions
// is that even necessary?
movieW = 650;
movieH = 600;
[code]....
and then the gallery process - so how can I subsitute this for a XML DB?

Have an XML that holds variables in place of hard-coded values. Then create a Flash app that will populate the XML to be used via Flash app.Currently...I have a Flash app that brings in XML data, but we have to manually put in the data into the XML file. I would like to create another app that will allow people who don't want to get into the XML file to be able to input that data into a Flash GUI and click on a 'submit' button that will populate the XML file automatically.

This may sound simple but it's not at all from what I can tell. Hell it may be impossible but I might as well ask...Anyways, what I'm trying to ask for is a way to update the images embedded in an FLA somehow without having to manually re-import each individual file every time they get changed on the hard drive. We have a massive project with a large amount of FLA files, and having to manually re-import all of the images every time new things are committed to the repository is going to get rediculous very fast.

I've been working on a looping paralax scroller, of which I took the basic actionscript from an open source .fla file, figured out what all the code did and got it working how I wanted, and then realised that the publish settings were set at Flash 4, and when I changed that to Flash 8, it kills the movie, and nothing works, so im begging for an expert to give me an opinion on how I can get it up and running in Flash 8, below is the code for examination and I'll attach the .fla incase anyones interested enough in having a look
Frame 1:
Code:
mover = getProperty("scrollingobject", _x);
Frame 20:
Code:
mouseh = getProperty("/tracker", _x);
mousev = getProperty("/tracker", _y);
if (Number(mousev)>200 and Number(mousev)<280) {

Im updating my movie file from flash 6 to 8 and this part of code seems to have stopped working in the process:
Code:
var deg = 360
_root.bcar._x += FwdSpd*math.sin(deg);
_root.bcar._y -= FwdSpd*math.cos(deg);
If i replace 'deg' in lines 2 & 3 with 360 instead of using a variable it works, but i would like it to work using a variable to make life easier.

Is there a way once a flash site is live, that my client can change the text or even the images? Even if it's by uploading to the server? If perhaps they were all predetermined in size ect.? Similar to how HTML calls images from a folder located on the server. I'm guessing something to do with PHP? Touching upon this briefly so understand flash uses PHP to communcate outside of the swf file to complete certain tasks.

I have external as3 classes but when I edit something like content_txt.text = 'something else' it doesn't even change on the flash app on the server.
Even when I change the background color of my flash app, republish it and put in on the server to replace the old one. Still the old one is displayed.
How can I get around this? cause it's very frustrating to learn and develop stuff that won't cooperate. I'm trying to have facebook integration if anyone's asking.

I have a dynamic textfield on my stage with the instance name trackText.
I have declared public var trackText:TextField;.
When I trace trackText.text it gives me exactly what I expect but the actual text on the stage does not update.
public var trackText:TextField;
trackText.text = audioPlayer.currentSong.title;
trace("trackText = " + trackText.text);
// gives me what i expect "track 1" etc..
but the text on the stage still says "loading..."

I have a flash slideshow that has buttons at the bottom..when one of the images is displaying, it sets the buttons to load a webpage, when the next images load, the buttons are set to load a different website. I am using an external actionscript file for the links. However, after I publish the flash file, then when I go to change the links in the flash file by opening in notepad, changing the link, then saving it as the same file name, when I run the .swf it doesn't update the link that it is supposed to go to when you click on a button.

I have an interface with two textfields and a combobox or a list. I want a user to be able to select a subject in the combobox and to input information in the two text fields. Once the user hits the send button, I want the input information appended to an existing XML file. Depending on the selction in the dropdown menu it should be appended to a specific node in the XML.

I'm updating the start and end points of a Line3D object in Papervision3D. The end result works fine but there seems to be a lag from when I move the objects and for the line to redraw in the right position. I'm using the following code:
connectingLine.v0.x = startDisObj.sceneX;
connectingLine.v0.y = startDisObj.sceneY;
connectingLine.v0.z = startDisObj.sceneZ;

Damndest thing. Every once in a while, I'll make a change to some part of my Flash application, while working in Flash Builder 4, and when I click Debug Play, it starts running with the old code and the old variables, even though the code I'm looking at in the code window is the new, changed code. I can still advance step by step, but the advances don't align with the new code. They seem to be aligning with the old, not visible code. I can eliminate variables entirely, save, build clean, and when I run, it still shows the old variables in the Variables window. As I can not find any mention of this on the Internet, I logically conclude that this is some ancient curse directed solely at me.

I'm making a modular site, that loads in external swfs that need to have decent screen reader names for each of the buttons.
The shell swf is set up to work with Thunder and NVDA screen readers by creating an AccessiblityProperties instance and assigning it to the relevent display objects then calling Accessibility.updateProperties( ) ; This method works in the main swf, but when used in the loaded swf it's not picking up the updated accessibility properties of the buttons, even though Accessibiltiyy.updateProperties( ) ; as been called again.

I created a text area on my stage using the text tool, then converted it to a MovieClip symbol. I called it ScoreLabel and I clicked "Export for ActionScript". I named the instance of the text area scoreLabel. However, when I do this in my code:
scoreLabel.text = this.score;
it doesn't change. That line is in my Main.as file, which is the document class. How can I change the text shown in this text area using ActionScript? Maybe I need to import a library?

We're currently building a fairly big dynamic website, and I was wondering if there was a way to have an animation that updates and move in real time as there's action on the site. Ex. red bulbs light up each time a user posts something on the forum or whatever. It'd be all related to the mysql database.
