Jul 29, 2006I'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?
ActionScript 3.0 :: Creating A List With Different Row Sizes?
Dec 3, 2008I'm new to AS 3.0 and CS4 and I've been getting up to speedon all of it. I've used the List component before with my owCellRenderer. I now need to create a list with different rowheights. The List component is great and does everything that Iwant but it requires all rows to be the same height.I'm unsure of where to go. Creating my own class seems like alot of work. The TileList and Grid components don't allow differentsized (and dynamically changing) row heights either. Is there somebase class (SelectableList? BaseScrollPane?) that I should extendor do I need to just bite the bullet and write it all from scratch?
I need each row to have it's own height and interaction witha row could change the height of the row. The main use is a list ofdata. If the user clicks in an item, it turns the display intosomething they can edit (which will need more height)I really like that AS 3.0 is much more consistent of aprogramming language than previous MX versions that I've used.We're doing a lot of AS/Flash/AIR work with it and it's turninginto a wonderful environment...
Actionscript 3.0 :: Document Classes And Multiple Scenes?
Sep 2, 2010I've been searching the internet for how to use scenes in flash games, and from what I understand it got some problems? MY problem is that i cant really understand what the problem is and I cant find i "clean" explanation.
Some say you dont should use scenes in game development, some say you should?? Im confused.
Another thing that i dont understand quite is the document classes. Should i have one document class for every scene or one for all of them?
If i have 2 scenes with it's own document classes, how do i switch between them?

ActionScript 3.0 :: Document Class - Adding More Scenes To Flash
Sep 7, 2008From a tutorial page, I manage to built this flash page with xml capabilities. But when I add more scene to the flash page, I have errors like this.
TypeError: Error #1009: Cannot access a property or method of
a null object reference.
at MyContent/init()
at MyContent()
TypeError: Error #1009: Cannot access a property or method of
a null object reference.
at MyContent/onComplete()
at flash.events::EventDispatcher/dispatchEventFunction()
at flash.events::EventDispatcher/dispatchEvent()
at flash.net::URLLoader/onComplete()
How do I edit the "MyContent.as" file so that I can add more scene to the flash. I understand that, once i put the "MyContent.as" in the document class, it will load immediately, is there any way to tell it to load only in scene 2 (which is where the xml is needed).

View 1 RepliesActionScript 3.0 :: Creating Website With Sliding Background (4 Scenes)
May 21, 2010This is my first time using Flash to create a website. I am not familiar with Action Script, its functions classes etc., however I am familiar in programming in JAVA. I will be using ActionScript 3 and Flash CS5. (I have Flash CS4 also if needed). I am trying to create a website with a scrolling background that has 4 different scenes. I have attached an image to illustrate my idea. There will be a user interface, consisting of 4 buttons, which will be on stage at all times. Each of the button will correspond to a different scene of the background. So if the user clicks on the third button, the background will slide itself until the third scene appears on the stage.
Questions in mind:
How would the coding be like? I am planning to apply it to the button. So the background should shift ___ amount of pixels to the left or right depending on which scene the user is currently in. So if background is currently at position 800,0 (so the user is currently in scene 2) and the user clicks on 4th button. The background should move -1600 so the 4th scene will appear on stage. I am guessing there is 16 different cases I have to address. Assuming if that works, how would I also move the other objects on the scenes of background? Such as links to email address or my portfolio.
Professional :: Transition Between Two Different Sizes Of The Same Image?
Apr 20, 2010Im currently working on a project where I have a 92x92 pixel image that needs to tween into a 711x300 pixel image. The images are the same but cropped to these sizes via photoshop, imported into flash, then converted to graphic symbols. I want to have the 92x92 image tween into the 711x300 image.
I say tween, but the two tweens aren't working correctly, I can't seem to find a "crop" like function in flash that will let me adjust the large image for when its supposed to be small, then have it tween between the two sizes as i need them to.
Professional :: Can't Obtain The Stage's Sizes?
Oct 14, 2010Situation:I've got 2 swf files,1 is a preloader which loads the 2nd swf file, my site.Both of them, if started separately,work correctly.Problem:when I put the files together,linking the site's swf to the preloader,I get a null element error and the site loads no correctly.What I've understood :The preloader is ok, because I can remove the error message working on the site's swf AS code.In the preloader's code I have some lines to center its animation on the stage, I do that like this:
import flash.display.Stage;
var myStage:Stage = this.stage;
then using myStage.stageWidth and myStage.stageHeight I calculate the clip position
Also on the site's code I do the same to center a movieclip using exactly the same code, but it doesn't work and I've found that the problem is the myStage variable, not because it has the same name as the variable on the other file (I've tried to name it myFrame).It looks that on the site's swf the myStage variable can't be assigned and then results to be null.
Question: How can I obtain the stage's height and width since var myStage:Stage = this. stage; doesn't work?
Professional :: Flash Frame Sizes In YouTube?
Jul 18, 2010I'm back in video after a decade long absence and I'm completely new to YouTube because I've been living on a continent that rarely even has Internet. I've got some old footage I need to put on YouTube, but YouTube's specs are a bit contradictory at times.Starting from the get go, I have several questions and I hope you can point me in the right direction. It sounds like an FLV file is what I should go for, so I'll base my questions on that. Don't hesitate to answer between the lines. And don't hesitate to tell me to change tracks.
The most clear export I can make from my old Avid editing program is an uncompressed QuickTime movie. I can't find anything in the YouTube specs about QuickTime moives. They don't say they're good. They don't say they're bad. Can I convert to an FLV file and upload to YouTube with good results? When I export non-HD material from my editing program, what frame size do I export?When I convert to an FLV file, what size do I re-size to? Or does YouTube resize whatever I send to them to the right size?When I convert to an FLV file, what's a reasonable bitrate for video? How about audio?Or do I even need to bother with the above? In one YouTube information sheet, it sounded like I could just upload a plain old MPEG2 file and YouTube would go from there. Correct or not?What's the benefit of an alpha channel? It seems like the files get smaller, but I can't get them to play at all after I've ticked alpha.I'm using Avid Xpress Pro 4.3 and have access to both AVS and TMPG 3 for MPEG conversion. I'm using CS3 from Adobe.
Professional :: Different Font Sizes In The Same Dynamic Text Box?
Oct 22, 2010I have a dynamic text box with a paragraph of information. I would like to make certain key words a larger font size for emphasis. An example would look like this: The ever-changing landscape of the business world demands knowledgeable and skilled managers. We have been educating students about management best practices for more than a century to help them succeed in the corporate world. Whether you are looking for an online business degree to get your career started in sales, human resources, accounting, or some other area of the business world, we have the online business degree you need. Is it possible to change the font size for just some of the text inside a dynamic text box to be changed like this? I cannot get it to work properly. The reason I have it as dynamic is because it needs a scrollbar.

Can I store the images externally so that only the ones needed for that scene load at that time?
View 9 RepliesMake A Movie With Multiple Scenes - Streaming Sound And Scenes Sync
Jul 3, 2009whenever I set my sound to stream and continue to make a movie with multiple scenes. The audio and video get disgustingly out of sync sometimes even off by 30 seconds. I just started an animation its only 10 seconds long with two scenes and the AV is already off by about 5 seconds. Ive worked around this by avoiding scenes altogether but i really don't want to have another 5000 frame scene.

Mar 19, 2010I've just started working with CS4, and admittedly I'm new to Flash, but I can't get the Scene functionality to work as described in the docs. The class MovieClip has a currentScene property that should return a Scene object. The Flash 10.0 docs give this code as an example :import flash.display.Scene;var scene:Scene =mc1.currentScene;trace(scene.name + ": " + scene.numFrames + " frames"); However, if you create a new ActionScript 3.0 fla file, create a MovieClip instance, name it mc1, and put this exact code in one of the frames, it returns a Scene object with no name and only 1 frame.Changing the name of the scene in CS4 does not . Am I missing something?

View 2 RepliesProfessional :: Separate Scenes Or Not?
Sep 27, 2010I'm building a simple interactive video/animation in Flash. I have a sample from the company that I'm going follow and they use separate scenes for different sections of the video. I've read there are disadvantages to using Scenes but I haven't seen any advantages. In fact I haven't found much about Scenes at all. Most people seem to build their stuff in one scene, just labeling frames so they can jump to them to make scenes that way. I also have been looking up tutorials and I can't find anything about using the Scenes palette and how to connect the scenes together. Is there any reason I should use this Scenes palette and not do my whole video in one scene?

Professional :: Using Same Function To Read Audio In Different Scenes
Mar 6, 2010I have a flash movie that moves ahead in the animation based off the audio. I've broken the movie up into a few scenes so that I can keep things really easy for myself. However because I'm using the same function to read the audio in the different scenes I'm getting a duplicate function error. Original Function that works great in the individual scenes but fails when played together:
Scene 1Scene 2import fl.video.MetadataEvent;

View 4 RepliesProfessional :: Music And Scenes With Continuous Song?
Oct 25, 2010I have a bunch of scenes, and I have a continuous song that plays over them. I'll simplify below to better specify my intentions.
Game Menus
Scene 1: Music placed on timeline, plays throughout the next 3 scenes (menus)
Scene 2: Music uninterrupted and continuos from Scene 1 (desired effect).
Scene 3: Music uninterrupted and continuos from Scene 1 (desired effect).
Game
Scene 4: Completely new music for this scene. The music from the previous Scenes 1-3 (or Scene 1's music) still plays [until it is finished]. Scene 4's music is overlapped with it. This is not a desired effect. I'd like Scene 1 music to silence and Scene 4's music to play.
Things I've tried:
1. Thought maybe I'd make Scene 1's music "stream" but when I go to Scene 2 or 3, the music is off.
2. Thought maybe on Scene 4 I could do something to tell the music from Scene 1 to silence

View 5 RepliesProfessional :: Same Buttons On Interface Throughout Multiple Scenes?
Jul 13, 2011I have a project that requires building the project using Scenes to chunk up different sections of an Elearning course.
I have created 20 Scenes.
Each Scene uses the same interface design.
On the Interface there are 6 specific buttons that will allow users to visit 6 instructional areas.
All six buttons will be avialable in all 20 Scenes.
My question is: is it possible to replicate the six buttons across all 20 scenes without having to provide unique instance names for each button in all 20 scenes so that the code to go to a scene will work in each Scene?
Or do I just have to code all 180 buttons individually as I go?
What I mean is for example.
The Lesson 1 button is replicated 20 times. the lesson one button has actionscript to go to the Lesson 1 Scene.
If I replicate the button to another Scene, I have to give it a different instance name, and update the code for that button each time and for all buttons.
Professional :: Dealing With Layers From Duplicated Scenes
Jul 28, 2011I'm using Flash CS5.5. I had some unfinished work on flash 8 and I'm running actionScript 2.0 In one of my scenes I had come up with a good button set up I wanted to use in all of my scenes. So I duplicated the scene, and proceeded to re-name my layers on the new scene according to the new content in the form of bitmaps. Well, on the output I got warnings such as: "duplicated label on layers". My SWF is still showing normally but I don't know what to do with the warnings. Is there something I should have done other than double clicking directly on the old labels on the layers and chaging their name?
