Professional :: Create An Application Frame In A Flash Movie?
Feb 15, 2010
A while ago, I created a replacement shell to run as a front end for a cybercafe. It was nothing fancy; just a flash movie that had button links to IE and a few trusted applications.
I'm trying to develop it further now and am wondering two things:
1. Is it possible to send an application to a frame within a movie? For example, have a static movie at the top with links, then when a button is pressed, the menu remains but the application opens below without overlapping. I know I can use HTML and frames but really want to keep it all in one movie/swf.
2. Is it possible to build on the above and have some sort of application lister that will allow you to switch between the two applications you have running. For example, a user may open IE, then open Word. Word has now replaced IE and I want the user to have a simple click button to go back to an existing window rather than open another instance from the menu.

I'm working on C# application where I get some user input, so I'd like to save it as animation to SWF.
I searched the web for some open library to do that, but I've found only dead links. Is there any open library for that?

I´m using a trial version of Fl Professional CS5 and I´m new to it. I am trying to create a poster frame for my video to upload but when I try to select the scene by using the preview parameter it is not editable and neither is cuePoints. I am referring to the component parameters panel. The default says "none". I can tick/untick the other options - autoplay, isLive etc. I´ve been playing around with it for hours without any luck.
Also, is there a way that I can add a "view in full screen" option to the video I want to upload?

I want to create a "replay" button on the last frame of my movie but it's not working.
Here's what I did.
1. I created a layer named "Actions" and in my last frame (frame 900) I created a "Stop" action.
2. I then created a button and saved it to my Library.
3. I then created a new layer named "Replay Btn" and created a keyframe in the last frame of the movie (frame 900). I then dragged the button onto the stage so it was in the last keyframe (frame 900) and made it into a button Symbol.
4. In the Properties Inspector I then typed in an "instance" name of "replay".
5. Then in the layer named "Replay Btn" I selected the last frame of my movie (frame 900) and added a keyframe in the same layer as my button. I then opened the "Actions" panel and entered this code.
replay.onRelease = function() {
gotoAndPlay(1);
}
6. I then did a "Publish Preview" of the movie and got this error:
"Warning 1090: Migration Issue: The onRelease event handler is not triggered automatically by Flash Player at run time in Actionscript 3.0. You must first register this handler for the event using addEventListener ('click', callback_handler) In Actionscript 3.0, code cannot be placed directly on objects. select a frame or use the code snippets panel to apply code to the current selection on stage."
I understand that I must select the layer and "right-click" to add an action instead of selecting the object on the stage, but I guess I'm just not sure how to get the "Replay" button to work in CS5. I've watched a couple of tutorials but they weren't done very well and were really hard to understand. I just want to create a button to replay the movie.

I have what I hope is a fairly straight forward question that I hope you can answer if you write code with a Mac or are at least familiar with the process on a Mac? The person I have been working with to create my photography website uses a PC. Here is the problem. I am trying to use my Mac in order to create frames so that I can add 5 more images to a portfolio that presently has 15 images.
The code is in an index.fla file. If I want to create a new frame in the index.fla, let's say LOAD CODE 381 and want to use the same text that is already present in LOAD CODE 380 but with a few edits, I have no trouble going to the Action-Movie Clip and finding LOAD CODE 380 in the left hand column. The problem is, on a Mac, how do I create frame LOAD CODE 381 and then how do I copy and paste the text from LOAD CODE 380 into LOAD CODE 381? It looks like on a PC one can open LOAD CODE 380 in the Action-Movie Clip, highlight the text then right click on the red rectangular box in the timeline. By doing so (on a PC) one sees a drop down menu that gives the option to "copy key frame". What is the equivalent of the "copy key frame" on a Mac? I can see where on the Mac you can go to Edit >copy. Is this the equivalent of "copy key frame" on a PC? If so, once I "copy" the text how do I create the new LOAD CODE 381 so that I can paste the text into the new frame?

I need to create a script that will jump to a certain frame in the scene when a movie cilp reaches its last frame. Putting a goto... within the MC itself doesn't work. I assume that I need to create a listener of some sort....I haven't been able to find what I need in any documentation (and I'm even been looking through AS dictionaries going back to Flash 4).

I need to make my Flash application create a connection to a remote application and have the remote application send periodic updates to my Flash animation. The remote app is written in VB 6, and does not support XML sockets. However, I don't need the ability to send or receive XML since I am going to be overriding the onLoad() event anyway.
Or maybe I do need that ability... I'm having trouble getting my onLoad() event to trigger. Right now I'm just testing the onLoad event like this:
[code]...
So, basically I'm trying to find out how I can format the data I'm sending it so that the onLoad() event triggers. I've read that the XMLSocket object listens for the Null byte, so perhaps the data I'm sending it doesn't terminate properly. I need a persistent connection from Flash to the VB app because the VB app will be the one initiating the updates to the Flash application. Is the XMLSocket the way to go here, or is there another class of objects that I'm missing?

I am a Flex/Java developer, in the process of creating a Financial/Trading website for a start-up company.The default look and feel of Flex (out of the box) is pretty plain and bland (in terms of the default styles). Can anybody recommend the easiest way for me (as a developer) to make the website look as polished and professional as possible?
What is am looking for is:
A professional style/theme to the website Use of polished images/icons Use of some Flash components for the intro/welcome page. The quickest way to get this styling/images/icons done - should I outsource this to an on-line company?I have been looking at Flash Catalyst as an option but images need to be created first in Photoshop (which as a product I do not know).

Lets say I have 5 instances of a movie named BB1,BB2, BB3, BB4 and BB5 and I want to say move them 5 pixels to the right. Is there a way to do this in one statement and not have to post it 5 times? asically how can I shorten this to one instance to affect all of them?
on (release) {
_root.BB1._x += 5;
_root.BB2._x += 5;
_root.BB3._x += 5;
_root.BB4._x += 5;
_root.BB5._x += 5;
}
Second question is, let say I want to create a Movie with different actions in each frame. then I want to continually call that one frame action from a button release. How would I go about this?Action on frame is: _root.MM._x += 5;
Button on stage to trigger this action over and over would be?. I've tried gotoandPlay but it only works once on (release) {

I have a project that involves flash animation- almost movie like. I need some advice on how to do flash animation. I think I'll create the graphics in illustrator. Basically, the storyline is this:
- guy leaves house and walks to car
-starts engine, puts on shades and speeds off
-scenes of downtown chicago (nightlife)
-view license plate
What is the best way to do this? create graphics in illustrator for frame by frame? Should I use after effects? The client doesn't have a high budget so video is out of the question.

I found something when I create bitmap data cache for each frame of a movie clip:I got a movie clip, instead of presenting it immediatly on stage, I created a bitmap data array to store each frame of it, so I'm doing:
var body:MovieClip; // some mc for body
var suit:MovieClip; // some mc for suit, frame count is the same as body mc
body["part"].addChild(suit); // it's a avatar, there's a sprite named "part" on body mc to contain suit mc
[Code]....
if i present the original body moive clip, everything is ok, but when I use cache, it begins to tremble, this is because the getBounds() method of movieclip returns different rectangle when mc is cached and mc is presented on stage. I tried trace out every getBounds() when caching and when Event.FRAME_CONSTRUCTED fire, they're different, making my cache crash!
I assum MovieClip class do not refresh until it's present to stage or some time in on frame, how can I get the real boundary of it if I need to cache it?

I'm trying to create a flash application where the user can add points (I call them draggers) and he can move those points around an image. What needs to happen is that I will use these points and their coordinates to change the image.
What I need help on is how to accomlish the rotation. Let's say the user has added three points on the stage, and they want to rotate the three points along the center of whatever triangle they form.

If I have SWF's that I am using for UI elements in a game, and in these SWF's there are layers with Movie Clips and these clips have only one frame in them - do I need to explicitly put a stop() in there for optimal performance?
I'm curious if these movie clips sit there and loop with only one frame and in the end hurt the game's overal FPS

I've been struggling my mind for two days and I can't still find an easy way to localize a Flash movie. Well, *tons* of flash movies... Previously (AS2) I was using the old trick of using variables in textfields. So if you used as var name "_root.text057" and you did something as "_root.text057='blah'", the text field was automatically updated.
What would be the more fast and efficient way to create a localizable application in Flash/AS3? I'm under the assumption that the programmer doesn't know exactly what is going to be loaded in his movie (how many text fields and so on) but he must still provide a mechanism as automagic as possible in order to redirect those pesky strings in a XML doc into the textfield where they should reside.
