Professional :: Get More Familiar With Apps And Other Interactive Content?
Oct 5, 2011
I'm primarily a print designer, but to keep up with the times I want to get more familiar with apps and other interactive content. I already know Flash Professional and Actionscript 3, but I'm having trouble wrapping my head around AIR, Builder, Flex and Catalyst and their relationship with the other CS programs. When I read through them on this site, they all seem really similar.
Can someone break it down for me? Are there situations where one is more appropriate than the others? Are they just publishers or do you create functionality with these programs too?

I posted to the flash forum but really looking for feedback from flash, flex, AIR users as well.I'm looking for the forums thoughts and advice on which of Adobe's current technology set (CS5) is best suited for creating small interactive applications/packages by users who would not have any background in coding and very little interest in learning coding.
The idea is that users would know basic drag & drop development and maybe extend it to include some basic scripting to wire up elements of it. The ability to develope applications for a range of access points (website, mobile, desktop) would also an added benefit.The over arching idea would be to let the users create some apps/programmes/packages quickly on any topic they like but not bog them down with coding.Which CS5 technologies would be best for that

I am currently making some interactive training apps for a company, It seems like flash is the way to go since I know AS3 and am comfortable with it. The problem comes where my boss wants to be able to sell these apps as learning aids to schools. Would using something like adobe air with flash be the way to go?

[URL]..We're looking into integrate this into our player, but we're also looking to allow others to embed our custom player + content.
However, it seems YuMe relies on a bunch of custom javascript, which is needed in the page the player is embedded in.
Since we'd essentially only be offering people to embed our swf, does anyone know if there's any way around this?

I have tiled map made of dots. Each dot is interactive.In order to facilitate smooth scrolling over the map I want to be able to mask it as you would a regular image, then drag the masking window to reveal new areas.
The problem I have is that the mask only hides whether you can SEE the underlying map. So, when the cursor is outside 'visible' map area it's still interacting with the hidden portion of the map.

just wanted to get some second opinions on something before I dive into a project.I would like to use the same effect executed in this website: http:[url]....how to go about doing that. I have a few ideas but am quite intermediate when it comes to code, so I was trying to search for some help topics and tutorials that might spark something.But I can't figure out what this sort of method is called! Where all the content slides like that as you click on different parts of the navigation.
* I should add that I am more proficient in AS2 but wouldn't mind learning how to do this in AS3.

I came across this interactive timeline from HP... [URL] Does anybody know of any tutorials on how they are able to expand each content box in the timeline? When you click on each box, it expands from it's location and fills the screen. Once you close the box, it shrinks back to it's original location.

I'm a seasoned Flash developer and have just recently switched to Flex, but so far I've been having a hard time with creating the right kind of components. For instance, in Flash if I wanted to add a complex interactive menu, I would have a menu clip in the library, then export it for ActionScript, assign a class to it and add it to stage. How would I do something like this in Flex? It seems all I can do is expand the UI Components, and none of them is really suitable for what I want to do

Can Facebook apps be written in Flash CS3 or do I have to use Flex? I'm more comfortable with Flash, but it seems geared toward Flex.One of the Facebook SDK examples (FriendsList_flash) contains an FLA file but it won't load in Flash CS3. Does it require a new version or am I doing something wrong?

I was wondering if its possible to automate games and apps that have been written in flash.
For example.
Suppose a simple card game was written in flash. To automate it I would need to
-read all of the values of all labels on the screen. -figure out the location and identity of active objects like buttons and text boxes.
I suppose these values could be passed to some kind of executable flile running outside the browser which would then move the mouse and click the buttons as desired.
Mabey there is a better way of doing this ?
I tried running flash apps in Firefox with firebug and fireflash installed to see if I could see what was going on inside the flash files. It didn't work. Mabey debugging has to be enable inside the files themselves which is no use if they are owned by somebody else.
Is it possible to automate a gmae somebody else has written in flash ?

This slideshow used to work fine, until you install 10.1. I run it in the Flash CS4 and CS5 IDEs and it works fine. Does the Flash CS5 IDE use the 10.1 player? If not, how can I make it?

I'm having a hard time finding information on the best way to deliver video to mobile apps built in Flash CS5.5.
I'm working on an iPad app using AIR for iOS and I'm wondering how I call on video files basic controls.
The app I'm working on is just a mobile presentation for our studio's production work, so I just want to be able to add our showreel and some other videos of work we've done.

I was wondering if there are any apps that have animation in a format that could be somehow exported for use in Flash, After Effects, or 3D software. So something other than flip book style "paint" animation. Instead something like vector point animation or object/property animation.

We purchased Flash Media Streaming Server Interactive edition in order to have the security featuers of not allowing unauthorized connections streaming live content to the server. Is there a document with procedures that details how to make this happen, the allowedHTMLdomains.txt does not work when you place in IP ranges that you do not want connecting. I need some help just to figure out a way to keep someoen from connecting to the server and not streaming live content. Has anyone configured this in Linux because the documentation is mainly for Windows. Any help/advice would be great since this seems to be a common problem for anyone who runs Linux.

I've been trying to export some png assets for flash from photoshop and keep getting this weird banding issue (see attached image). As you can see, the image on the bottom is the png loaded into photoshop and placed on a white background. Then, on the top is how the png looks when placed on a white background in flash. WHY?! Just to rule out some of the more obvious responses, I've already tried the following:
- Exporting as a 24bit+alpha png from photoshop (interlaced and non-interlaced)
- Exporting as a 32bit alpha png from fireworks
- Exporting as an 8bit alpha png from fireworks
- checking the image properties in flash (losless, no smoothing)
- checking the colour space settings in all apps involved

Hi,
I am building a cryptex( the dial device from Da Vinci Code)(See attached image) I built a 3D version and I want the user to be able to turn the dials and when they release, it triggers an action. There are two ways I am considering, but not sure which is easier considering I am a beginner to actionscript:
1.) I can render out small movies of each dial turning 360 degrees, but would it be possible for the user to drag the dial and cycle through the keyframes of the clip? I saw an example of using a slider to cycle through keyframes but don't know if this is possible.
2.) The dials were built and animated in flash. (Though I am unsure if this can be done without some 3D Flash plugin, which I don't have)
Any thought or tutorials that relate to this would be greatly appreciated. I looked for slot machine tutorials, since it has similar dials but had no luck.
Thanks
Also, I have Flash Professional CS5

We would like to create a training module for our client that shows them how to use a device like a cell phone. We'd like to be able to use a 3d model (preferably created in 3ds Max, since we own that) and bring it into Flash, where they could click on various buttons and get feedback.I found something similar to what we're looking for on Newegg's site:
http:[url]...Just click on the "3d View" down below in the Overview section.What should we get to achieve this?

For a project I am thinking about making an interactive map of the cemetery on my college campus. I would like the map to function like this map here: [URL]. I'll start by making the map in Illustrator but from there I'm not really sure where to go because I am new to Flash. I would like the name of the item the mouse is over to be displayed and then when clicked on a box comes up with additional information. If the item the mouse is over can change color that would be nice too. Panning and zooming would also be great if they are not incredibly hard.

I'm currently having an issue creating a set of buttons that are supposed to turn individual layers on and off. The layers I have are: fishing spots, facilities, trails, map elements, an aerial photo, and parking lots. It is giving error #s 1119 and 1120. Could anyone explain possible reasons I'm getting these errors.It might be worth mentioning that I used a tutorial made with Flash CS4, but I'm writing the code in CS5. Here is the exact code I'm using:
spots._visible = false;
facilities._visible = false;
parking._visible = false;
elements._visible = true;

I want to make an interactive gizmo to explore 20%. so I want a little slider and a red (20%) and a green (80%) bar so that when I slide the slider to different numbers - lets say between 1 and 100 I get a graphical representation of 20% of the number selected as well as the actual numbers? so at 50 red column is 10 green is 40. at 100 red is 20 and green is 80?
I could just have a MC with different frames and select a few numbers to highlight and fake it.

I am pretty new to flash but I am kind of getting the hang of things. I am trying to create a interactive slideshow in flash that will not end up on the web. These are three quick questions I currently have. Thanks for any help you can provide
1. Let's say I have an icon of a person in my flash file, how can I make it so that when my moves rolls over the person a thinking bubble appears and when it rolls off the bubble disappears?
2. If I have a small image of a page version of a .pdf file in my flash file, how can I make it so that when the little .pdf page icon is click the .pdf file is launched?
3. I understand how to create a square button over text and mess with its up/down/over/click settings, but I am wondering how I can do something like change the color of the text when it is clicked or when the mouse is over it? Right now I only know how to change the color of the square button.
