I'm searching for a scriptable/automated way to have the latest version of Flash installed on Windows XP and Windows 7 testing machines.
These machines serve testing purposes, however, because of the number of different machines we have, it is unwieldy to update them all by hand.
How can the installation of Flash be automated?
I have a desktop flash application (.exe). Is there a way to automatically update the client's software to the last version?
View 3 RepliesI wish to get some data from a flash site. Now it is not possible to get the data directly from html. Now I have noticed using firebug that a xml file is sent to the browser containing the data I want, when I click on certain parts of the flash site. Is there any way to automate this?

View 3 RepliesMy goal is to make a flash/as3 program that would pull multiple sets of data (images and texts) from the database and compile and save a flash video project for each one. What might be the best way to go about making this work? I checked but wasn't able to find a function that would publish the flash project in it's current state, so I don't think I can execute the entire process in a single flash/as3 file. My only other option is to have some other program/batch file take care of the querying the database and compiling multiple flash/as3 movies by starting up a flash program and passing it the parameters of the data it needs to build 1 complete project for 1 set of data. Is there a program to create .swf files automatically? Is it even possible to pass in init params to flash/as3 project?

I've got twenty .swf files and respectively .as extensions of them. In each file there's my e-mail, but I don't have access to that e-mail anymore, so I want to edit each file to remove it. Is there any way I can change my e-mail in twenty files and compile them afterwards in an automate process via some script ?

I'm writing this post because it seems there is a lack of support and updates regarding Adobe Flash player for the Sony PS3 and also to show that there is a demand for such an update to be made.It appears the BBC is making an effort, even though PS3 users do not have the latest Flash Player, you can still catch up on all missed BBC shows on the new official BBC iPlayer support for the PS3. See the link below.
http:[url]...............
The current version of Flash Player for the PS3 is outdated (on the latest UK firmware v3.01 at the time of this post) and after spending an hour scouring the internet for news on a forthcoming update, with no success, I've decided to come hear and ask why that is? So why is the Sony PS3 always more than 12 months behind on these updates?
i have a dynamically attached movie clip with a dynamic, html enabled text link. This all works fine.. what i want to know is how do i have the link update the content div (a separate div than the one the flash window is in) with a new php script?
View 2 RepliesI have Adobe Web Premium CS4, whenever the updater runs it fails to install any flash updates, no matter how many time sI try it always fails,
View 2 RepliesI'm a CS4 developer, working in Flash, Dreamweaver, Premiere Pro, Photoshop, etc. I love Adobe products, but I am getting pretty weary of Flash Player updates coming every other day, sometimes every day. I work on several computers, both at work and at home, so the inconvenience of having to stop and go through the update process is multiplied. I know it's not usually a time-consuming process, but still, why so frequent?
It might not be so bad if not for all the other self-updating applications on my systems, not the least of which are the various Windows updates. It's just a little obnoxious.
I have a PHP process that does a bunch of stuff and I want to send feedback to the Flash client that calls it, as the request is being processed. However, since I'm listening for the COMPLETED event, I don't get the feedback until the PHP completes execution (at which time all the buffered messages arrive at once).

View 4 RepliesI'm wondering if there is a better way to approach this than my current solution...
I have a list of items, I then retrieve another list of items. I need to compare the two lists and come up with a list of items that are existing (for update), a list that are not existing in the new list (for removal) and a list of items that are not existing in the old list (for adding).
Here is what I'm doing now - basically creating a lookup object for testing if an item exists.

I'm using Flash and AS3 to write an app for iOS and for Android and I'm saving XML-data using shared objects. Now it struck me that when I supply an update to the app store and the user updates the app, will the shared objects remain intact or will they be replaced? I'd very much like them to remain as they were.
View 1 RepliesI am working on a short animated story, which has a scrubbable timeline and chapter headings. I used TimelineMax for sequencing it. For the most part, it is working fine. I am seeing some strange behavior that pop up, though: sprites disappear, functions stop responding to user input, seams of the sprites become transparent -- all small issues but pretty hard to nail down because they happen in Mac only.
So I am wondering what is wrong with Flash, and why it misbehaves on a Mac?
I want to create a folder structure through Flex or AIR... is it possible? I mean the Flex or AIR will receive the inputs on what the folders and file names will be and when i press create, it should create a directory structure...
It is possible in PHP through fileSystem, but i am not sure whether it is possible in FLex or AIR....

I guess I need to stop the streaming of one url before calling another too,
View 5 RepliesI'm looking to create an AS3 utility that will place frame labels (about 200), on the main timeline, to save the time it takes to do it manually. The label would be very simple like "page" + i. Is there AS3 code that addresses utility methods of this sort?

I'm running ant to compile a Flex application, and the build keeps failing when running it on a windows command line. Other people in my team can successfully run the very same build under mac and linux. This is the error shown in the command prompt:
[Code]...
All tokens are set in corresponding build.properties and filter .properties files (and, as I said before, it compiles perfectly under mac and linux). The windows version is 7 Ultimate, FLEX_HOME is set as an environment variable to the Flex SDK 3.5 (the 3.5.0.12683 build that comes with Adobe Flash Builder Burrito). ${compiler.fork} is set to false, to avoid an issue with the SDK and the source files being in different logic drives.
I'm using Flex in Flash Player 10 on Windows, using FileReference to load a file into memory, as below.My issue is that when a file is locked by Windows, my FileReference is not giving me any feedback that the file is inaccessible--it simply never dispatches any events after my calling load().Does anyone have insight into how to tell that Flash Player is unable to open the file?
var fileReference:FileReference = new FileReference();
private function onClick():void {
fileReference = new FileReference();
fileReference.addEventListener(Event.SELECT, onSelect);

From an Adobe Air application, I need a function to launch the Windows Virtual Keyboard (c:windowssystem32osk.exe). I tried the Native Process, but it didn't work when telling it to execute cmd.exe /C osk.exe. How should I launch the keyboard application from an Adobe Air application?
View 1 RepliesI'm a complete newbie regarding Flash development, but I've been tasked with automating SWF creation from an AVI source (and quickly!). Once the SWF is finished playing it should endlessly loop from the last frame to about 5 seconds prior to the end frame. Think of a speaking character, followed by some idle movements. We want the idle movements to endlessly loop. What I've done/need to do is:
1) Automate the creation of the AVI. Done.
2) Convert the AVI to SWF (using FFmpeg). Done.
3) Write Actionscript to detect the last frame, and then jump
to some other frame.
4) Merge the SWF with the actionscript and produce a new SWF which is then placed on a website.
Being a newbie to Flash, I'm overwhelmed by the array of options out there for something so simple in concept. I'm looking for a command line solution so everything can be completely automated. My questions are: Can steps 3 & 4 be done with the FlexSDK? What would the steps be to get something like this accomplished?
