Retrieve Temporary / Backup File From An Earlier Time?
May 17, 2009I accidentally made some significant changes to a flash file that I can't reverse. Is there a way to retrieve a temporary/backup file from an earlier time?

View 1 RepliesI'm using Flash CS5 on Windows 7. I was working on a file and went to save (CTRL+S) and the Save dialog locked up and Windows gave me an error that said "Flash has stopped working. Close Program" So I did and restarted Flash. When I tried to open the file I was working on, Flash said "Unexpected File Format" The file size of the SWF is right, it's not 0kb or anything. This is about 3 weeks worth of work on here. I'm checking the backup tape for our company server, but that will still set me back about half a day (which is better than nothing I suppose)
View 3 RepliesI have an old FLA (from Flashkit) which works ok in Flash Player 5, but will not work in Flash Player 10.
I would like to have it converted so it will work in Flash Player 10, AS 2 (not 3!), for CS 4. I am using a Mac. would be willing to pay a reasonable sum of $ via PayPal for this work. I do not think it should take much time (it is a small file).
What i'm trying to do: create an app that will record the mic and upload the recored track to a server. I thought that it will be simple: record, automatic save the record to a temporary file, upload the file to the server and erase the temp file created...but is not. I can't figure out how to save the file without using the save window.
View 5 RepliesI was wondering if there is anyway to retrieve the time of the last flash update.
So I'm not looking for the flashversion but perhaps something like a timestamp of when it was updated.
is it possible to have a back up image if the flash doesnt load?
The current code is:
<div id="mainBanner"> <div id="so1351">You will need flash to view this element<script type="text/javascript"> var so1351 = new SWFObject("/media/11695/29042009.swf", "flash", "994", "224", "8", "#FFFFFF"); so1351.write("so1351"); </script></div> </div>
so I have a pretty big flash file on my homepage, which raises a few issues about what to do if the user doesn't have flash player installed on his/her PC.
I would like to make sure that if the user has a old version of flash player, or doesn't have it at all, a backup image will display in place of the flash, how can I accomplish that?
Iss Javascript or jquery an option?

View 7 RepliesI am scratching my head because there isn't much out there even in the forum on something this simple.[code]...
Here is what I am trying to accomplish I am able to retrieve these variables from the txt file that is stored with the SWF file and display them, I am unable to allow the user to change a line "item" and then have them save it amending the TXT file.
So the goal is to have this list on multiple office computers so that you can go in add an item to the list it then updated the TXT file so the next user can open up the flash file see the list and even add or remove an item.
The TXT file is going to be stored on a private drop box folder that is available on all computers concerned. ( If it's going to be easier than putting it server side )

View 1 RepliesI've been trying to work on a web portal for updating a website I am creating. I originally duplicated a write-to-.txt php script and duplicated it for each of my pages, but for some reason it isn't working out very well as I assume they are fighting with each other. I am looking into creating what I assume is called an array, so that I can store 5 separate data pieces in one text file but I can't seem to find a tutorial that is close to this. the closest I can find is a guestbook tutorial but it is very out of date. I would like to be able to store multi-line text (so that paragraphs and breaks are preserved) from 5 different input boxes and then retrieve that data upon loading of the input boxes and in a different page which would be the actual content of the website.
View 2 Replieshow to retrieve information about size (in pixels) of loaded FLV file? Video object returns 2 pairs of parameters (width,height) which are useless because returns always parameters passed in constructor of Video() object. Another pair is (videoWidth,videoHeight) which is always (0,0). I gave up...
I need this information to scale proportionally video clip to size of area designed to display this video.
I have inherited a website - http:[url].... and I will need to edit the first page from time to time (Flash). I have the original .fla files and I only have Flash CS4. Not sure which version of Flash the originals were built in, but opening in CS4 I can only see 35 frames - not enough to go through the whole thing. If anyone cares to have a look at the site there's a stopwatch in front of a garage door. This quickly fades in and out, then a car and other stuff appears. I can only get as far as the stopwatch. I can see the whole lot in Flash player though.what I am not doing right?

im making a flash upload thingy for my site, it has options to set the expiry time of the file, each time has a button which needs to be made from an array (which comes forma php script, not really relevent)... here is my code..
ActionScript Code:

i know the x values are too small but they should still all appear on the stage right ?, only the final item in the array appears...i think i might be replacing the previous one with the new one.
I thought I might have had this answered before, and my question is just below, which I marked as answered, but really it's not, so, apologies for asking again. I inherited a site to maintain [url]... and I've just got the original 'fla files (I only had .swf previously). However, while I can get the file to play in it's entirety, I only get to see 35 frames, so I get the impression I'm not able to import the lot.

View 3 RepliesI have several mc:s that can be dropped on a target (a mc called hits). If one mc is dropped on the target and another mc already is in the target I want the earlier mc to be removed. How can i know if there already is a mc in the target if i drop another mc there. Taco wrote "You could try setting up a boolean status variable and condition the dragging/dropping of a mc in that area to the variable being false. In other words, you set the variable status to false to start with, and once a first mc as been dragged/dropped in the area, set it to true. On the next dragging/dropping, if the status variable is true, you remove the previous mc, and permit the dropping of the new mc." But I dont understand how to do this, i may have many different mc:s in the target. The attashed file is a bit of my real fla, I hope someone understand what I mean.
View 3 RepliesDoes anyone know of a site where I can download temporary SWF files to use as placeholders during web development? I've searched a lot on Google and can't dig anything up like this?
Was wondering if there is something similar to what http://placehold.it is for PNGs, but just need soemthing for SWFs.
I'd like to just grab one and use it to drop into my code, so all the Flash designer has to do is just replace the temporary SWF with the one that's going to be used on the live site.
Our application is a ASP.NET + Flex running on IIS 6.0 server. On the client machines we run IE8 for display. IE creates temp files that seems to be taking up disk space. The Temporary Internet Folder size continues to grow seems to exceed the limit of 8MB - automatic recycle. When and under what conditions does IE delete files from the temporary folders?

I should always be able to call the Collision class without referencing it earlier. I have all the imports I need (Events, Movieclip, Keyboard, MouseEvents). For some reason though, when I enter any code involving Collisions, specifically:
Collision.block(player, block);
I get this error:
/Users/Mike/Documents/Main.as, Line 50 1120: Access of undefined property Collision.
Is there something previous to using the Collision Class I must do? Placing it in the same folder as the rest of my work? Some sort of unseen reference?
