I'm using Flash 5.0 (AS3) I have a large graphic of a map which moves around to highlight different sectioins. The map is larger than the size of the artboard, but instead of everything being invisible thats off the artboard, it still shows up. is there a way to ONLY show graphics/symbols that are ON the artboard in your swf?

I'm sure this question has been tackled previously, but is it possible to change the colour of the artboard in CS3 from white, or even get a line around the document?
View 8 RepliesDeveloping custom components within Flash Professional CS5.5, I am attempting to implement functionality similar to the way a UIScrollBar can be dropped on a TextArea to bind functionally.Place a TextArea on the artboard.Drop a UIScrollBar on to the TextArea.The UIScrollBar will auto-position itself against the TextArea, and if instance names are not defined, the TextArea will receive a name such as 'InstanceName_0' and the UIScrollBar's scrollTargetName will set to match.For those familiar with Flashblocks Flash CMS, this functionality is replicated using their Editblock component. The Editblock can be dropped on a component, automatically position itself, and bind instance names.Following threads and examples, I see mostly historical implementations citing _targetInstanceName and scrollTarget.[code]
Is this a special property of "scrollTargetName", or can this functionality be implemented with different property names?Have I correctly implemented this functionality per Adobe's intention of authoring on the artboard?UPDATE 2012-01-05My remaining issue is getting the dropped component to position itself. Regardless of x and y positioning, the DisplayObject remains at 0x0 upper-left corner. I know this must be possible as a scroll-bar can change its position when dropped on a text area.
I did this on my flash pageFor some reason of HTML view I can't see the scroll bars but under flash preview I can.

I am trying to load images externally but I don't think I am using the right code. I am using the following in flash and it works fine, but when I bring it into dreamweaver it stops working. Any thoughts?[code]My thoughts are that it can't find the files when it goes live. How can I change the code above so that it reads the files once uploaded to a server?

View 2 RepliesI have created a simple site in Dreamweaver, I have uploaded the site to a remote server and everything is great but for one thing. I have inserted a Flash image viewer that should show a selection of images, it works fine when launched from Dreamweaver into a browser window such as Firefox. However if I access the site using its domain name and recieving from the remote server no images/slides play.
I have done several things to try and rectify this. Made sure the images are in the root folder. entered 'base' and '.' in the parameters and made sure all image names start with a lower case (linux) and it still doesnt work.
I import Jpeg or any other images into flash , and I can click on it in the library and see the image, but when I bring it onto the movie scene, I just see the squares and the image is faded, it seems like it has brought the opacity of the image all the way down to zero , no matter what image type I save I get the same result, PNG, BitMap, GIF , is there anything I gotta do in preferences ?

I have a Flash carousel on my website, and I wanted to change one of the images, and delete another icon altogether. I have uploaded the revised XML file, published the new .swf (just in case), and uploaded to my Joomla site.For some strange reason, its still showing the old icons in Firefox (even though I've deleted these images from the referenced folder), and its showing the new icons in IE, only without the one image I added. Very strange.I've refreshed, created a new .swf, made sure I've saved the XML file etc but no changeThis is probably one of those amateur mistakes I think, I've thought of everything but drawing a blank at the moment.Oh i should probably mentioned that the revised carousel has 4 icons, and the old one has 5. The new image I put in has an icon of a jigsaw.XML File is as follows
<icons>
<icon image="icon3.jpg" tooltip="Ramis Software" link="/index.php?option=com_content&view=article&id=57&Itemid=67"/>

Im trying to load an external swf(a gallery of images) and I want the images to show up on the website as they load so for example if the swf is 10% loaded, it should have loaded a few images but they dont show up unitl the external swf is 100% loaded
So instead of the viewer having to wait until the external swf is 100% loaded, I want the viewer to be able to see the images of the external swf as they load.
My external swf has images on frames 1 15 or so..

I'm running into a very strange issue when testing an application I'm building online: loaded images aren't showing.When testing locally everything works fine.I'm retrieving the images from an Adobe Scene7 server, and there's a crossdomain.xml in place there with the correct entries. I'm getting the right bytesLoaded and bytesTotal. I'm not getting an IOError Event.What could be wrong?
Here's a piece of the offending code: (I replaced Event.COMPLETE with Event.INIT, hoping it might make a difference, but it doesn't)
[AS]loader.contentLoaderInfo.addEventListener(Event.IN IT, onImageComplete);

I hope to have some music on my site and have been playing around with various Flash based, XML driven, mp3 players [though I'm a beginner with Flash]. I've got one to look [more or less] as I want it but it doesn't work! It works when previewed within Flash CS4 but not within Dreamweaver. The mp3 [the Josephine Foster song] is there, the XML file is there - I can't think what I've done wrong. Here's the url:[URL]

View 2 RepliesI am having a problem with CS3 Flash and the toolbar on the left. Certain tools have options and those options are not showing up. Yes, I went to Customize Tools panel and checked and those options are listed to the right of each tool that should have them (Example: Rectangle tool: oval tool, polystar tool , etc) and even hit reset to default and still those options do not show up on the actual toolbar. I made a graphic thinking that would make them show up and no it didn't.
It seems to be a problem for each tool that has a options and they are
1. Free Transform Tool,
2. Pen tool and
3. Rectangle tool.
a few months ago we bought a flash ready template that I customized with our information. I decided to update the website information and wrote new text. Now when I do the publish preview the upated text is not showing up. I have not change the font, color just the size because in the original it looked too small. when looking at the properties is shown as the default of font (the one the template came with) static text.
What is causing the updated text not to show up? I am not really experienced with flash, i am trying to figure out also how to see the code of the pages but i don't know how to do that.
I have built a flash navigation menu that plays fine. I exported it and saved it into the root directory of my website.Then I opened the website and added it where I wanted it (on a Template) by selecting Insert>Media>Flash and following the steps.I added the files to my server and am finding something odd. When I open the Template file on the website, it loads the Flash file just fine.[URL] However, when I load any of the pages built from the Template the menu won't load correctly.[URL]
View 4 RepliesI'm using Flash CS5. I have created an Input Text box, but for some reason, the only numerals that apear on the screen when typed are 0, 1, and 2. If one types 3, etc., they just don't appear.
Also, I have a dynamic text box for which when I do the following, it only shows "lease type a number from 1 to 12." with no "P".
txt_incorrect_number.text = "Please type a number from 1 to 12."
