Is it possible to import my ASE swatches to Flash?I have a colour pallete in InDesign and Illustratot that I use for corp identity. And I'd like to use these same colours in the Flash file.
View 4 RepliesI'm created multiple instances of the basic color picker component, using a library linked color picker.I was wondering if there is any way to change what colors are available in the swatch?
View 3 RepliesWe are creating an ecommerce site for my business and am trying to create a flash file that will allow the end user to select a color from a palette of 64 different swatches that they would like their item to be so it processed it into the order. I only need to create the flash file so they can select the color.
View 4 RepliesI'm working on a simple example of loading external swf files with some ActionScript.I've placed an instance of List Component and gave it an instance name of loadList. Using Component Inspector, I assigned data for 4 external files as below:
Next, I've added a UILoader component (instance name - loadWindow). The code that is supposed to load the content into UILoader is this:
loadList.addEventListener(Event.CHANGE, selectItem);function selectItem[code]..........
I'm having trouble importing an external .swf into my .fla. file. The only AS that is working gor me is-
loadMovie("panoSceneNoMarkers.swf", _root);
However, once the swf shows, it replaces the background interface. I assume I have to add a _level into the code but how?
I work with Adobe Flash Proffessional (CS4). I now have an assesment piece that I can work on home with. I promptly downloaded CS5.5 (thinking that was the right one) and spent hours on my animation. Oops, is it possible to open these CS5.5 files in previous versions? is there a converter that can fix this?
View 3 RepliesI have two different external .swf files that are loading onto a parent, I have the same code on each, one works fine but the other one is giivng me this error,
TypeError: Error #1009: Cannot access a property or method of a null object reference.at aavar/frame1() at flash.display::MovieClip/gotoAndStop() at aavar/mouseA()my FLA still runs, but I would like to work out what is going wrong. I do not have any references to this function in my document class but it doesnt like it! What is going on here?

Someone here recently helped me immensely with a question I had about creating a previous button in my flash file that would allow the user to click on the button and view the previous swf file. I'm hoping someone can help me with making the Next button now, too.
I have a movieclip that loads an array of external swf files. I thought making the next button would be as simple as changing just a select few things to the previous button.However, that's not working. When I try that, the movieclip doesn't even load the swf files. Below is my AS2 code for my file. I bolded the part at the end that is for the previous button. Does anyone know how to make the previous button?

I am new flash developer, and inherited a project which has 4 fla project files. When it runs inside a browser, it appears "window" which occupies whole browser. This project is write in Flash CS3. I have few questions:
1). When loading main swf file, 3 other swf files are also loaded. These swf files are communicating with each other through message. When debug the mail swf with CS3, I can set breakpoint and the program can stop only at limited AS files. My questions is how to debug other AS files in other swf file?
2) I used CS5. It seems that I can stop at more AS files, which does not belong to main swf file. Why?
My questions is should I use CS5, which might makes debugging easier? Is it right direction to go to debug multiple swf? (For CS5, I need to fix some code in order to make the program fully working as CS3)
3) What's best tool to use for such project since CS3 is very old. Should I use Flash builder, Flex. Amethyst?
I have masked the video clip. The masked clip is working fine. But the Actionscript 3, which contains 2 more SWF external movie clips not loading those files. Once I remove the mask they start working.
View 9 Replies[URL]. You can use it to download and parse into an object the ASE files from sites like Kuler or ColourLovers, for those who want more control than their RSS feeds provide. You get all the group and color info for RGB, CMYK, and Gray color modes (Sorry, didn't do LAB). The object just needs the ByteArray representation of the ASE, so it can be used on embedded or dynamically loaded files.

View 0 RepliesI want to have an AS3 app load images from url supplied by the user. But I don't want a malicious user to be able to load an SWF file in place of the image, such as with an altered extension "maliciousSwf.png". Well, not sure how big a security threat that is above and beyond the ability of the hacker to decompile swf, but I think that ideally such behavior should not be allowed.
So, is there any way to prevent this? When people allow users to load images in their Flash apps, do they somehow guard against loading of SWF? Or is this really absolutely no big deal?
I installed Flash CS4 Professional trial version for school use. It wouldn't install successfully. I deleted the font files the troubleshooting guide said to, tried again, but gave up. (I'm afraid to run regedit and mess up everything else I have loaded.) (I previously had the Fireworks CS4 trial version loaded, then uninstalled it.) My problem is this- I have it running, but it saves files and then they can't be opened, even if I use the save function often- it's worse when I create the file, test the movie and then save.If I try to open it again, it says "cannot open file." Once it opened a copy I had saved, and it appeared blank, even though it was 544 kb file size. I only need it for a few more days, one more assignment and I'm afraid my previous files are corrupt. I have Windows Vista Home Edition.

I am constructing a Flash animation and I was hoping to build it by scenes. These scenes would be individual SWF movies that I could import into my final Flash file in consequential order and when finished I would have a completed Flash Movie. There would be no interaction beyond Play/and replay. Where can I get information on how to construct this and is this a recomended way to do it?

I need to simply create "swf" files from a number of videos I have finished in Premiere Pro 5.5.
These videos are 800 x 600 videos that display at "point-of-sale". The spec is swf and not flv.
(I do not need to do anything else in Flash apart from create the video file with the swf extension.)
i am new with adobe flash and i have made 2 swf files that need to link to one main one, i am not sure what the actions should say. so far my programming for my main swf where i want all the other swfs to open from are:
var movieLoader:Loader = new Loader();function addMovie(event:Event):void {var movieRequest:URLRequest=new URLRequest ("slideshow.swf");//define a loader to load a movie to the stage//Set the loaders load property to the the var movieRequestmovieLoader.load(movieRequest);//add the image to the stageaddChild(movieLoader);//set its x and y positionsmovieLoader.x=0;movieLoader.y=0;}PictureSlideshow.addEventListener (MouseEvent.MOUSE_DOWN,addMovie);
function activateButtons() { removeChild(movieLoader); }

I've got a website w/ a few different pages (each it's own swf file). When buttons are pressed the first time things seem good. But if you return to a button that's already loaded once, the movie clip file that has the navigation (and is the background), loads either too slow or too quick for the other swf files and it gets stuck in random spots. It's hard to explain, but something is not working properly.
View 9 RepliesI'm doing a presentation where it loads different swf files in sequence. I already have a holder with width = 819, height = 614. Right now, I'm loading 1024x768 swf files in it.
This is the code in use:
loadMovie("movie1.swf", holder);
holder._width = 819;
holder._height = 614;
The swf file is loading in the correct position, but when I test play it, the first one [movie1.swf] loads and plays in it's original size [1024x768], then the following one [movie2.swf] loads and plays the way I want it [819x614]... Then when the whole movie loops again, now, the first one [movie1.swf] plays the way I want it to.
I have an issue with a script I created that loads text strings from a file on my server.The swf file loads a message from a .txt file, displays it in an animation when the animation finishes it loops back to the start and loads the next message and displays it in the animation.
All works fine. However the script reads the text file from the server on every loop ( 3 seconds ) This will be hard on my server so... Is there a way to read the text file once only and then loop through the eight statements?

Assuming I have a file like this:

How would I load it? Could it be loaded the same way as .txt is? Would I have to make a new class similar to the URLLoader class?
i need to load an external swf which is in as3...and need it to be played in my as2 swf layout. with a time slider ,play, pause ,next, previous for that swf movie clip.
View 4 RepliesI'm new to AS3, and am trying to understand how externally loaded SWFs work in AS3. Since Flash 4/5, it was common to have one main SWF file in a Flash web project, and then load other SWF files into it, often for various "sections" of a website or web project. In the main file, we'd have masks animating the container movieclip(in which external sections/SWF files were loaded) and have animations and transitions play as the section finished loading and the loaded content was displayed.
In AS3, I've used the Loader class to load and display the external file, my main problem is in communicating with the loaded content, call it's functions, or call root functions from it. In AS2, we could use someMovieClip.loadMovie("ExternalContent.swf") and the ExternalContent file would load inside someMovieClip. You could access functions on the "External.swf" main timeline using someMovieClip.function();. And inside the "ExternalContent.swf", we could use _root.function() to access functions in the main file ExternalContent was being loaded into. Doing this in AS3 seems bizarre and neurotic, and I feel like I'm missing something fairly basic here.

Is there a good work-around for this? Something short of adding a variable for the slash character that changes when a different OS is found? Also, I load XML that has links in it, so changing the links on the fly after they're loaded would be great.

What is the best approach in AS3 when loading multiple XML files. I have 3 XML files I need to load. Should make separate XML loaders and functions for each XML file?
View 1 RepliesI need to load separate SWF files depending on different flash buttons being pressed. The problem is I see a flicker inbetween SWF's being played. I think the flicker is where it goes back one frame - but I do not know how to solve this.
The first bike should scroll along to the left then stop, buttons should then appear that allow you to load the external/separate SWF files.
