We would like to start creating RIA using Flash, focusing more-so on the side of enterprise level web applications rather than simple Flash animations. I need to start getting my design/development group here up to speed on Flash, but cannot make heads or tails of the software to focus on from Adobe. Flash Professional CS5, Flash Catalyst CS5 or Flash Builder 4?

View 1 RepliesI am extremely new to Flash (using CS4) and want to create flash videos for display in web pages. I have used a few of the wizards and have gotten some rough, very amateurish looking results, but at least they work.

View 1 RepliesHow can I create a component using Flash CS5? I have tried to follow various documents I have found on google and went about it in the following way:
1. I created an empty FLA.
2. I created a MovieClip containing some graphics, and named the MovieClip "MyTestComponent" in the Library.
3. I selected the MovieClip's properties in the Library and selected "Export for Actionscript", and made the MovieClip inherit from fl.core.UIComponent.
4. I saved the FLA in the directory "C:Program Files (x86)AdobeAdobe Flash CS5CommonConfigurationComponents" and restarted Flash. At this point I would expect that the MyTestComponent component would show up in the Components panel, but it did not.
5. I tried to publish the FLA as an SWC file and place the SWC file in the same file as above. According to my understanding, both this and the step above should have worked, but it did not.
on picture 1 I'll start with a blank white box that slides to the right revealing a sketch of a picture and on picture 2 the whole picture is revealed.Then on 3, the line goes back to the left starting to reveal the real picture.I had no problems doing the 1 and 2nd step in flash but dont know how I do the 3rd, how do I make the sketch picture dissapear after the line has gone over it???
View 4 RepliesI am designing my first simple website with Adobe Flash, and I have run into a problem. When I do publish preview, I notice that no scrollbar appears in the browser; therefore, only part of my content is shown. How can I create a scrollbar in Flash so that when someone views my webpage they will be able to scroll down and view all of the content on the page?

View 3 RepliesWhich product do I need in order to create a customized flash player (and that is all I need to do)? I have a VP6 Alpha Channel.flv movie (transparent background). I would like to create a custom flash player for my website to display and control this movie.The player needs the following properties:
1. Play the movie transparently (using "wmode"?)
2. Play, pause, volume and exit buttons on the control bar
3. Autohide control bar
4. Logo / text on the control bar
5. Ability to unload itself after the movie ends
Which is the right product for me? Any links on how to create this player would be useful.
Is it possible to create an On/Off button to toggle audio on and off using AS3?
The Adobe help files do not seem to provide this, only AS2 options using Behaviours.
When I click on a button and choose Behaviours I get a warning that it only works with AS2.
I change the project to AS2 and then half of my actionscript stops working.
I have two questions:
1. I would like to put audio behind my flash pages. I have 5 pages (navigation with arrow buttons). Is there code available for where the user can click an on/off audio button? Does it have to be in a certain audio format?
2. Is it possible to create quizzes in flash i.e. are there templates somewhere?
I'm bringing in production art into Flash, and it's shifting getting lighter. I've read all about the issue, how it's
photoshop's color profiles, etc. Problem is, converting the images to working RGB isn't helping. I've tried converting them (originally they were in Adobe 1998 RGB) , creating a new document with the correct profile, but nothing works. I'm saving them out as PNG files. They look great in a browser even. Just washed out in Flash. Anything else I can try?

View 1 RepliesI want to be able to record 5-30 sec "green screen" segments on my video camera, extract them from the background, save it as DECENT QUALITY flash that can be embedded in my company website (small motorcycle dealership in Sweden) so that I can reach my customers in a better way.

View 2 RepliesIn the past I have used PPro CS4 and Encore to create a DVD of clips which I show to clients. Each clip has a chapter mark so that I can jump quickly to the start of each clip. I now want to make a big Flash file of all the clips, with chapter marks which I can quickly jump to. But when I create the file from PPro, I get all the clips in one nice big file, but with no chapter marks. If I create it from Encore, it cuts the file into lots of little Flash files, the cutting points being the chapter marks. How can I create one big Flash file consisting of all the little clips, but with chapter marks which I can jump to?
View 3 RepliesHow can I create a flash video using Java.. (Java and JavaScript have nothing to do with each other, in my world Java Script is a useless technology). Does Flash Professional have a Java API and if so how do I get the JavaDocs and an example to see the complexity of that API. Does the Adobe Media Encoder have a Java API that I can use.. if so, JavaDocs and an example?
Picture having two million directories, each directory has 30 photos and a sound clip. From this I want to produce two million flash movies each movie has 30 photos and the sound clip. Each movie has panning of the photos (Ken Burns, Civil War on PBS). What does Adobe have that I can call from within my Java code or Perl perhaps. I need to do this every two weeks, at least. Using a standard user interface is not going to work, even if I hired half of the planet.. I have been on the phone with Adobe for two days and have gotten nowhere.. surly Adobe has something which allows me to automate the creation of Flash movies. right?
Firstly, I've created with Adobe Captivate an SWF file which I have been able to reference in an aspx page and when I view the website, it runs fine (no other file is referenced to run this). Example of the below code in the aspx page I have created:
object classid="clsid:d27cdb6e-ae6d-11cf-96b8-444553540000"codebase="http://fpdownload.macromedia.com/pub/shockwave/cabs/flash/swflash.cab# version=8,0,0,0"width="500" height="400" id="Untitled-1" align="middle"><param name="allowScriptAccess" value="sameDomain" /><param name="movie" value="progressive2.swf" /><param name="quality" value="high" /><param name="bgcolor" value="#aaaaaa" /><embed src="MY_VIDEO.swf" quality="high" bgcolor="#ffffff"width="500" height="400" name="Untitled-1" align="middle"allowScriptAccess="sameDomain" type="application/x-shockwave-flash"pluginspage="http://www.macromedia.com/go/getflashplayer" /></object>
My objective is this. I have a final edited FLV video file. I also have Flash Professional. What I want to do is create a single SWF file (like with the Adobe Captivate example), which will include the video and the skin for the progress bar, volume etc and then reference this in another aspx page for the website.
I want to be able to have the same 'packaged' SWF file, as in the captivate, created from this FLV video. In Flash Proffessional, I've imported the FLV into the 'stage' and added a skin through the wizard. But trying to publish or other options, I've not been able to get this single 'packaged' SWF file to run correctly in the website, via the same apsx code as above.Am I missing a trick here? I would presume it would be fairly simple as I don't want to edit the video, more I want to embedded it with a skin in the one SWF file.
I have an image with seven distinct colors. I would like for each color to be linked to a separate html page if clicked. Can flash link to a page based on the color of the area clicked?

There is one thing I am trying to figure out. I want to add an object that tells the LMS to mark the course complete. I don't need it to check if the score has been submitted or anything like that, by the time a student gets to this object, the test should be done. I just need a flash movie object I guess with the script that writes the completed status to the LMS.

Trying to create a DVD from a swf animation. The DVD needs to be able to work on any standard TV connected (non pc) DVD player.

View 1 RepliesI'm a designer who uses ID to create eBrochures. I can of course export SWF files and associated resources from ID to upload for web usage, but what I'm trying to do is create Full Screen projectors (amac and PC of these files). I have Flash Cs5, but know nothing about it. I can of course use the Flash PLayer Debugger to openthe ID created SWF and use the 'Create Projector Command' to make a self contained Projector, which is *almost* what I need.
Only problem is the SWF is not / cannot be set from ID to open in Full Screen mode, so the projector inherits that characteristic. Is there some easy way to add some script to the ID file so it open full screen? Or is there some kind of shell FLA I can get that would simply say something like "open content.swf and play full screen" then I can use that standardised name for my SWFs and make a projector of that ?
