Professional :: Saving Settings Within A Document
Jul 24, 2010
So I've got an .swf file embedded in a document (SMART board in this case, but a simple Word doc would probably serve in the same fashion). I'm trying to replicate the same functionality I see in another .swf. Basically its got a configuration menu where you can open and configure the .swf to behave differently, then save off and have it keep that. More importantly, if I close the document and re-open, it keeps the configuration. Harder yet, if I mail the document to someone else, it will keep the configuration.
Oops, its that last step that kills me. I understand how to use shared objects to save settings locally. I don't believe they're using server based shared objects in this case (no maintained server for it). So how can they be saving settings that travel with the document?

I'm trying to pass on to my swf file the size of the document using javascript, flashvars, and swfobject. I've embedded my flash file using swfobject and used the generator that swfobject provides to declare the two flashvars. My index.html file looks like this:
ActionScript Code:
<!DOCTYPE html PUBLIC "-//W3C//DTD XHTML 1.0 Strict//EN" "http://www.w3.org/TR/xhtml1/DTD/xhtml1-strict.dtd">
<html xmlns="http://www.w3.org/1999/xhtml" lang="en" xml:lang="en">
<head>
[Code].....
flashv1 and flashv2 are the instance names of two dynamic text fields on the stage. For some reason, and I have been messing around with this all afternoon, I just cant get the flashVars to be retrieved by my code and be passed on to the text fields.

I've created numerous games which load and unload off a main menu.The player enters their name on the main menu before playing any games and when the player completes a game I want to save their time (taken to complete the game) and unload this time back into the main menu.Is there any way of saving the times using AS3 to a word document or something like this? I can't send the times to my website with php because the games will be used within a competition and it all needs to work with the internet.

Edit:
var dataloader:URLLoader = new URLLoader();
var dataarray:Array = new Array(); // do this where you intialise other vars

When I click the Edit button next to AIR Settings in the properties panel in Flash CS4 Version 10.0.2 I get the following error: The following JavaScript error(s) occured:
At line 984 of file "Apollo_OpenSettingDialog.jsfl":

I've installed the new AIR2 (beta2) I found here: http:[url].....but I don't think this error has anything to do with it.I'm currently running Mac OS X 10.5.8.

I'm trying to change a Flash animation into a Quicktime movie to post to YouTube, which I've done with a much smaller file, but have had trouble with a larger 2.6M file. When testing Flash movie I get dialog box saying- Content will not stream... Change Runtime Shared Library Library > Advanced ActionScript 3.0 in Publish Settings. So I enter Publish Settings, on Formats I leave Flash and HTML checked. Select center tab for Flash, click on settings for ActionScript 3.0 in scripting box. In Advanced ActionScript Settings dialog at the bottom I've tried changing the Runtime Shared Library drop down to the Merged into Code option but it didn't help. The other option is the Preloader Method, where I think the problem is, but when it is changed form Preloader SWF to custom the Preloader SWF box at the very bottom empties and when the movie is published I get a warning of no Librarys linked and when movie is played int the Quicktime player some of the animations fragment and leave the fragment as remnants.

I bought a template but can figure out how to change a few flash settings .My website is done except for these few minor changes.To see what Im talking about go to the website main page here [url]....
1) There are two flash files, a menu and a header, in the menu when the page paods the buttons are white and turn orange when you scroll over them. Id simply like them orange when the page loads and then to turn white when you scroll over them. I can figure out how to get the scroll over to white but not the first part to getting the load orange.
2) In the header file there are several pics. Beside the pics there are scroll over buttons. Id like the first button, that says domestic contract, open when the page loads.

I have a AS3 file I used in Flash CS4 that worked just fine. The preloader at the beginning of it worked normally.When I started using it in Flash CS5 it stopped working....at first it would jump around the number instead of going up from 0% to 100%. Then it just quit working all together..I tried saving the swf as a Flash CS4 document in flash cs5 .Here is my code:
stop();
//Preloader
loaderInfo.addEventListener(ProgressEvent.PROGRESS, updatePreloader);[code]....

Yes correct I'm talking about Flash Player 11, thats what it says in Flash CS5 software. Whatever I do in Publish Setting, Flash software always returns option to be Flash Player 11, I don't get this. I choose Flash Player 8 and AS 2.0 and re-open Publish Settings it is again back on Flash Player 11 and AS 3.0.

I'm having a little trouble with my publish settings setup.Let's say that I have a file called MyFirstAnim.fla under the folder AnimSource.Then, I set the swf publish path to ../AnimFinal/MyFirstAnim.swf, and everything is great.Now, I need another file almost identical the first one, so I copy MyFirstAnim.fla and rename it to MySecondAnim.fla.hen I publish the file my MyFirstAnim.swf (under the folder AnimFinal) got overridden.So, I removed the swf part of the publish setting, leaving just the relative path (../AnimFinal/).
Am I smart or not?

In Flash CS5.5 when selecting, Publish Settings: html and swf, the html file does not display the swf from the URL after ftp. The swf file, however, does display from the URL without the html file. My work around has been to hand code the html. Is this a known issue or is there something else that might be causing this to occur?

I have a problem understanding the bitrate settings when trying to encode an FLV for Flash 8 or higher, using two passes. When you choose to use two passes, you are presented with a bunch of different options, including "Minimum Bitrate [%target]", "Maximum Bitrate [%target]", and "Bitrate Variability [%target]". These are not really explained properly in the online manuals I've seen out there. Let's say you want to have a Costant bitrate (CBR) of 900 kbps, and you want to have two encoding passes, what do you set the other sliders to?
The defaults are:
Minimum Bitrate [%target] 80
Maximum Bitrate [%target] 120
Bitrate Variability [%target] 80

In Flash CS3 you could set a default color with an alpha setting. I have not found a way to do this in CS4. Is there a way? Its nice to have some default colors for shading that are easy to get to.

what are the best settings to export .mov file? I have 1280x720 movie and I can export it no problem but sometimes it skips or gets stuck when I play it. I'm not sure if it's my video card or the actual file. I was using the H.264 setting and compressor quality best.

I'm trying to play some sounds that I recorded of a person singing 7 notes. Each sound contains a single note. I then want to create buttons that will play the notes.
But the notes take forever to buffer when the buttons are clicked for the first time.
What are the best SoundBooth settings to make my notes load fast?

I was wondering whether MP3s or WAVs would be better to avoid syncing issues. Also, what audio stream settings would be best?
I was also wondering if you can manually play the audio track by moving the play head over it. I've tried multiple times with multiple settings to no avail.

I have MP3 files with finely-tuned compression from an audio app. If I use them in my Flash movie, and disable audio compression in "Publish Settings"... will Flash definitely not touch the files and use whatever MP3 compression settings the files have? Or... will flash convert them into raw audio?

I am a 2D illustrator and am relatively new to Flash (and love it!) and want to add some simple Flash animations (using my illustration) to my portfolio website. But I am having issues when exporting to .swf - I have emailed on examples of work to friends and colleagues to view (and check) and most have trouble opening the .swf files. In fact most can't open them at all! Is this more to do with your average (probably a pc user) person not having an up to date Flash player or to do with my settings when exporting? How to best export to .swf to ensure the majority of people can open and play the file?

For example sould I select Flash Player 5, 6, 7, 8, 9, 10 or 10.1?

I am working is CS3 and am experiencing problems changing the first frame on a graphic symbol. When I type in a new number it jumps back to the old one. When I try to change play once/loop/single frame setting it jumps back to the previous setting. I am trying to simply modify this on a keyframe in the symbol's layer on the main stage. I've experienced this on multiple occasions, but can't get the workaround this time. I know I can do what I am attempting. In fact, I do it at a couple of spots earlier in this symbol's instance without problems.
