I have created a small flash application. There are swf files, folders with xml files and the base exe file.The application has been burned onto a CD and will be replicated. The client is concerned that someone can take the CD, copy the files to a harddrive and then duplicate the CD themselves, possibly selling it.How can a CD, with flash content be replicated and not allow files to be copied

View 1 RepliesHow to save ByteArray to HardDrive from Flash swf?
So... I have a generated if flash ByteArray Now I want to save it to Hard Drive.
first off is this possible?personally, I believe it is if I can some how set up my computer to be a server.Basically what I want to do is have a flash document on my website access/create text files on my hard drive.I know I need something along the lines of XML or PHP can anybody tell me what the best things are to start with?
View 2 RepliesI have a swf that loads in other swf files and interacts with the loaded swfs, everything works great when I hit ctrl-enter to test movie from from flash, but if I go out and doubleclick the generated swf on the harddrive at first it appears to work correctly, but some of my class methods do not function properly, or throw errors claiming there are null object references. If I compile to an exe file instead of swf it works fine as well.I am nearly 100% positive this is not a code related issue, as I said the only time I run into the problem is when I doubleclick the generated swf to run it.

View 1 RepliesI have been working on an air app for the last few days. It's pretty much finished except for one thing.
There is an export button on the app that copies both an exe and app. Now this is where the fun starts. When outputting from the Flash IDE, it works fine. The projector .app runs fine. HOWEVER, when running from the installed AIR package, the .app copies fine, but will not run properly, it just tries to open then doesnt do anything. If I manually copy the .app into the folder and then run, its fine.
Im pretty sure its something to do with folder permissions on the new .app, because obviously a .app is just a package folder.
[EDIT] Well i think i have found the reason, it looks like that when the .app is Packaged into the Air file, it corrupts it somehow... now to just find a fix for this heinous Air crime.
This bit of code works perfectly well in a test file with a single button[code]...
... but when I copy it into the file I'm working on, which has no other actionscripts or buttons, just a lot of animation I get this compiler error[code]...
I have four games that are very similar with certain names, colours and fonts changing in each. To design these, I built the first and changed the rest - updating what was needed. I then had to go back and add a few scenes to each - which were all the same save for a few word, colour and font changes. I updated game 1, but can't find an easy way to transfer the new scenes to my other .fla files.
I understand that you can select all frames and then copy these for pasting in a separate .fla file. However, this merges all contents to one layer and does not copy the actions for that scene. I also understand that you can embed a .swf of these new scenes within the other games - but this would not allow for changes.
I was hoping that someone could tell me how to copy a scene from one .fla to another - keeping all layers and actions intact.
I am trying to get hold of Adobe CS4 but not sure of the best way to do this. I have an old Dell laptop which won't be able to hold this. I was thinking of getting a cheap refurbed mac or alternatively getting an external hardrive to use with CS4 loaded onto it.
View 1 RepliesI used the 'Advanced Slideshow' template in Flash CS5 to create a photo gallery. The images in the template are not placed inside of the project but are separate files (the photos). I tested it on my harddrive and it works perfectly. Then I uploaded it to my website and it doesn't show the images. The folder structure is the same as it is on my harddrive, all the files are the same.

View 3 RepliesHow one would go about saving a bitmap image of movie clips to the hard drive?
View 3 RepliesBasically im building a flash based drum head designer for users to upload their own image, resize, add text etc, then it be uploaded to a web server when they complete the purchase.
I have all the server side part working, able to send a 2800px square image and compress it into a 1.5MBish jpg.
the problem im having is for the user to upload an image into flash. I've seen prototypes where it uploads the image to the server, then flash loads that image, then upoads the completed one, but this uses alot of transfers.
What I hoped to achieve is something similar to the system on the [URL] website where the image is stored in the cache first. I have spent hours looking for resources on importing user images into flash without uploading first.
I have two flash files, the one Im editing and the original. I want to copy two perfect layers from the original and past them on the one im editing, but each time I copy, it only copies the image, cant copy the entire layer with the animation.

View 1 RepliesI have two classes, call them A and B. They both contain a Loader object. In class A I load content into the Loader object.
public class A {
var loader:Loader;
public function A():void {
[Code].....
But that's not what I want. I don't want to manage a bunch of children when I know I only have one child but just want to change its content.
Is there a way to copy/assign a Loader directly? I tried assigning to 'content' but that's read-only. Basically I have an array of Loader objects that all get loaded with images. I then have a single Loader that's on the stage and I want to assign to it images (Loaders) from my array.
I am having a problem which I I'm pretty sure (hope), there should be an easy answer to. I want to take frames out of a movie clip in a Flash file and paste them on the main timeline. The problem I am having is Flash is pasting them back on the stage in a different spot than where they were when I copied them. This is totally messing up my tweens! Is there a way I can get Flash to paste them in the exact position as they were in when copied?
View 2 RepliesIn Adobe Flash CS3, is there a way of copying a complex animation from one document to another, differently sized document and have it appear in the same relative position, i.e. bottom left of my stage?I created a growing flower for a 300x250px file, and I want to use it in a 728x90px file. It has many keyframes. I tried pasting in the frames, but it appears off stage. I need to move it upwards. Do I have to move the elements at each individual keyframe, or is there a way of moving it universally at one go?

View 8 RepliesI have been trying to copy a movie clip from the library of one flash and paste it into the library of another. But when I do this, it always gives me, "One or more library items already exist in the document.
I have tried finding and renaming those items, renaming the existing movie clip, and even changing it into a graphic instead. Still it always replaces these certain movie clips in my main flash file.
I even tried the following: Creating a new movie clip in the new file. Then going into the movie clip of the other file I wish to copy over, and trying to copy its frames and put it into the new movie clip i created in the main file. Even then, it says I'm replacing library items!
I am having problems copying directories of movieclips from one flash file to another. They appear to be fine until I save it, then when they are reloaded they are missing a parent movie clip, and all of the children are blank.

Is it possible to protect the broadcasted content from unauthorized copying users. In the demo version of FMS 3.5 for interactive broadcasting stream audio and video can be copied by means of such programs as Comtasia. This may not like the content holders. Perhaps there are some instruments of protection.
View 1 Replieswant the user to be able to copy text from an input-textbox to the global-clipboard (so it can be pasted into word/notepad etc)
I realise the user could select the text and use ctrl_c, but is it possible to set up a button in flash that will do this?
ideally i want it to select all the text in the box, and copy this to the clipboard.
i am happy with it and now want to repeat it with all the other images in the slideshowhe problem is, when i copy the keyframes (with a tween) on the first image that animated and try and paste them onto the 2nd image in my series, it actualy charges the image as well ! So that the second image becomes the firts image on the keyframes.Is there a way just to copy the opacity and motion animation ONLY ? My guess is there must be because to animate each picture by hand with a custom ease in & out curve would take forvever
