I am about to start on a project for a friends web site, he would like a simple flash animation and this of course will be viewed in Internet Explorer once it is posted to his site. My question is; if I create some of the imagery in photoshop save it as a .png and use it within my Flash movie will it read correctly in Internet Explorer?
View 2 RepliesI need to add 2 JPG images to the front of a video and then reupload it as YouTube video. I downloaded the video from YouTube as both a FLV and a MP4 file. Is Flash the best program to add the graphics? If so, how do I get it back to FLV or MPG format? Do I need to get the orginal file from my distributor?
View 1 Repliesi'm trying to edit the text of a Flash project/website. The flash project structure is as follows:
- Main.fla
-- Section1.fla
-- Section2.fla
-- Section3.fla
-- Section4.fla
The Section3.fla file contains the text I need to edit. I notice that the text is visible inside the library:
"/Sprites/sprite 11" file
and
"/Text/text" 10 file
But when I try to edit the text 10 file I get the message: "This symbol is imported from a Shared Library. If you edit this symbol, it will no longer be imported. Do you want to continue?".
If I click Yes and edit the text and replace the Section3.swf with the new one, the website still shows the old text.

All my work up to this point has been Flash MX, I currently into a project that was done in CS3 and I also have flash CS3 now. The project folder seems to broken out into several folders, I was looking for a brief overview of what each folder is.com - this folder has many .as script files org - this has several other folders like papervision, alivepdf, ascollada id.app - this has several folders in it all ending with .lproj extenstion like en.lproj, fr.lproj and one swf file. Are these language foldrs?There is also a css, fonts, resources and js folders; I kind of get what these are. So, are all these folders generated when you start new cs3 project?

View 2 RepliesI was wondering if there is a website from where I can download free mp3 files to use in my flex project? I am looking for some mp3 files using which I can create simple sound effects (e.g., you press a button, you hear a sound). I read flex can only play mp3 files, not wav files. Is this true? What's the best way to convert wav files to mp3?
View 1 RepliesDoes anybody know a way for a swf file to communicate with the site its placed in. What I mean is I have a flash file with a start up screen in it, which has a tick box saying "Don't show this screen again" which skips to the sites content when tick, the same as what some adobe applications have when first started up. I think this might be able to be done using sharedObjects? But what I can't do is re-activate the start up screen from outside of the flash file. Is sharedObjects the way to go?
View 1 RepliesI'm creating a whole website with one .fla file. I'll attach the flash file to a html page in dreamweaver and that'll be that. But something has occured to me and that is if anyone presses the refresh button, the whole site will jump to the frame just after the preloader. Which would be fine under a normal circumstance if the main page were on that frame but in this website there is a movieclip on that frame which forms into the main page on the frame after.
So how do get it to refresh onto the main page?

View 1 RepliesI'm very new to flash and as3 design patterns. But I can read and write as3 quite ok, i've created small widgets with that. I've developed several web sites using php and also python.
Now for a educational cd-rom project i'm working on, i've basically designed all templates (A home page, a generic page with navigation and a sidebar - kind of like a wordpress blog). I have all the data for the cdrom on word files, which i intend to place on xml files.
My question is what is the best way to start a project like this? Can anyone guide me to a template or something that can be used for kickstarting this? kind of like a wordpress (without the admin)? Or am i on this all wrong?

ok after doing some more searching i find that getting friends-of-friends with any api is impossible this is very interesting - you can access friends-of-friends manually as a facebook user, but not automaticallythis means it is not a privacy issue at all - it is something Facebook wants to keep for itself only - for the "People You May Know" section in the facebook page

I have a combobox that needs to be populated with friends from an XML file. Once I've selected a name from the dropdown list, I need several text fields to be populated with information contained in several nodes of the XML. I was successful in accomplishing this with a very simple XML, but once my XML became more complex, I could no longer access specific nodes.
Here is my XML:
Code:
<myfriends><friends>
<friend name = "frank">
<outdoorsports>
<camping> No </camping>
<fishing> Sometimes </fishing>
[Code] ....
I have text fields labeled : Goes Camping, Likes to Hunt, Hikers, Married, Plays xbox360, etc.... When I select "Frank" from the drop down I need all these individual text fields to populate with his info. I can post the code that I found on the web for the simplified XML file that works if necessary.
In an application I have created (web) I need to list out my facebook friends within a canvas (or any container) along with their profile pictures.
I am using Flash Builder 4.5. I have also managed to set up AIR app (using the samples) so I am not sure if I am on the right track.
The requirement is :
When each user logs into the site his/her friends list should appear in the frame along with the friend's profile pictures.

I realize the FLV is video
I recently discovered the Project panel with the Flash application. I'd like to start using it on a regular basis, but I can't seem to figure out how to do a multi-file search of all the AS files included in a Project. From what I can tell, the search functionality within the Flash app only looks at the current document. Or is there a way to do a global search for a text string within a Project?

View 3 RepliesI'm new to CS5.5 after being away since, I think, Macromedia was around. I just bought CS5.5 soley for creating simple, fun Android apps for my son (animated storybooks etc).
However, I'm constantly changing my phones and we also have a tablet and the wife has a phone with a small resolution.
What I'm wanting to do, is create an app that's at a resolution for my tablet (1024x600), but then also be able to scale it down to my Optimus 3D (800x480) and the Wife's Xperia Mini Pro (640x480)
Now, there will be bitmaps in there, so I didn't want the phone/Air resizing the app to fit the screen and using more ram and cpu than needed so I was wanting to create 2 or 3 versions all at different resolutions.
I'm doing and animatic movie with flash (means lots of hand drawn frames and many layers) I also have about 40 sequences
I would like to scale down my whole movie to a smaller size like 720*480 (actual is 1980*1080) but when I change size in "propery" window it just change the size of workspace and drawings stays the same size.
is there any way to have the graphics scale to the new document size without using "transform tool" on each sequence, because flash crashes when I do that.
