How can be created an application for the latest Adobe AIR version ( 1.5 ) with Flash CS5. I have a licensed cs3 and I consider to buy cs5. I want to create an applications for the stable version of Adobe AIR.
View 1 Repliesmy latest project is to create an interactive version of the map for the game, GTA: San Andreas. Here are some of the features I would like to add:(Images have been made as a quick demonstration - the real thing will use the map)URL...Zoomed out, selectable pieces of the map (like jigsaw pieces).The different "jigsaw" pieces of the map are based on the borderlines of where each town/village starts/ends.URL...When a region on the map is chosen, it zooms into the region, allowing the user to select a town/village within that region. This screen will have a "back" button on it to allow the user to go back to the whole map.URL...After choosing a town/village, the last screen appears, providing an image (screenshot from in-game) of the destination with information to the left or right of the image. This screen will also have a "back" button on it to allow the user to go back to the chosen region. The detail on the map will also show basic places that the player of the game would like to know, such as hospital locations, ammu-nation locations (gun shops) and safehouses.Once I have the basic version done, I plan on updating it by adding locations of other items, such as vehicles, collectables and weapons.
1) Is it possible to make oddly-shaped hotspots, which are interactable (clickable and what not)? I know you can make rectangular hotspots, but the borderlines of the towns and villages in the game aren't straight lines, and most require more than 4 lines to make the shape.
2) Is there any way I can learn the code that Flash uses? Just so I understand it a bit more, since I am using it for a two-year school project too, which goes towards my GCSEs next year. I would just like to get more familiar with Flash, and maybe the other programs, Illustrator and Fireworks. The only ones I know well are Photoshop and Dreamweaver.
I want to create a Flash version of a Virtual pet.I need to generate a level of health , hunger , boredom but im not to sure how about in implementing this.
I�m thinking of using the �maths.random� function to generate a random level of each but im not to sure if this is the best way of doing it (and how to use it)
Would it be better if I just set a value for each and then decrement X amount every so often?
I'm looking to create a horizontal version of the scroll bar shown here: [URL]The actionscript given on page 3 (click) of the tutorial is for vertical scrolling only. Could someone please post a horizontal version or explain how to adjust the code for horizontal scrolling?

I'm loading an SWF animation and want to display it in multiple places concurrently, but the only way I could figure out how to do that is to load it every time I display it, as seen here:
private function playSounds():void {
for (var i:Number = 0; i < 14; i++)
{

The Windows version of Flash Builder can be used to create iOS apps.
Does this violate Apple's TOS? Is there any way for them to tell that I used Windows to create my app?
In order to meet the largest penetration of users with a flash player downloaded onto their machines, I have been tasked to Publish with Version 6 settings. However, I am creating my movies in Flash 8.
Are there any known draw backs to publishing with Version settings later than the Flash you are building in?

View 2 RepliesAre there any plans to upgrade the SDK to version 8 or 9 or release a updated flash version for the Wii. It's ridiculous that Adobe has not done this already considering the sheer volume of people using the Wii web browser.

View 5 RepliesI identify my current installed debug version? Basically, I am using Flex 3, for past 2-3 days whenever I launch any Project or debug it, I get the message box saying "Flex Builder requires a more recent version of Flash Player." It says my curent FP as 9.0.115.0 and debug version as 9.0.45.0. However, my actual FP version if FP 10.0.22.87. I don't understand why this confussion! I don't know how can I know my actual version of Debug player.

View 1 RepliesIv been having some real trouble lately attempting to create an object panorama, emphasis on the object version, iv found plenty of tutorials on how to do regular panoramas (ie, from one spot looking outwards, i want to make one of something looking inwards orbiting it) iv used flash quite loosely before in the past and have come to the conclusion from various articles on the internet it is capable and probably the best way to make a small file size.
basically what i wanted was to have it so that when u click and drag side to side it would show around the object, im not too worried about how fast around it goes or if it accelerates the further away from the centre its dragged, just the main control im looking for. at the moment i have 180 odd pictures of my model im looking to orbit, or less or more depending on what people think is better (its a 3d render i made so i can choose how many pictures it has) or iv already got it stitched together into a video.
the ideas id already had were that it would load each picture into an empty movie clip based on the frame number, ie it would load model001.jpg on frame 1, model020.jpg on frame 20 etc etc, but that didnt work as i suspected and it seems to flicker which i probably should expect as it has to load each picture each time. my other idea was that if its possible to make a movie scrubber, and load the video of the orbiting object in, then just use a scrubber to control moving it around but i couldnt find anything (that wasnt to buy) on how to do that.
I really apologize in advance for this question, but as someone new to Flash how can I tell which version of Actionscript my .fla file is using? 1.0, 2.0, or 3.0? I'm using Flash CS4.
View 2 RepliesIn your opinion what is the best version of PHP for flash when you use flash to write information to mysql database or retrieve information?What I'm trying to get at is what is the most commonly used version of PHP that works real well with Flash.
View 1 RepliesI'm looking for a standalone app that will let someone know what version a FLA is.
Specifically if it's CS5 or CS4.
Basically we upload FLA's to another system in which they MUST be CS4.. if a CS5 version is uploaded then the system crashes.
Just want to have a "checker" app that people without access to Flash could use to double check it is CS4 before upload.
Found "Flaver" : [URL] But it's PC and also not been updated since 2007 so I dont think it supports CS4/5.
We are also all on Mac so a OSX version is needed.
I remember i stopped using flash when it was like flash 4.0 or something... at that time they had swift 3d and i bought colin moock's actionscript 3.0 or something. what is the newest version of flash now, and does it still use actionscript? what about swift 3d?
View 1 RepliesI fell in love with Macromedia Flash 5 a decade ago but i never got to grips with Actionscript. For the last ten years i have been using Flash 5 for drawing and animating really simple movies. It's time to change!Unfortunately the last time i considered upgrading (Flash MX) the new interface was simply too complicated for me and the walk-thru tutorials that came with Flash 5 (which were brilliant) were no longer there.Can you please recommend a recent version of Adobe Flash that will support the learning of a complete newbie to a stage of basic Actionscipt competence?

Cannot access local resource C:Documents and Settings MyDocuments My Pictures imagesPic.flv. Only local-with-filesystem and trusted local SWF files may access local resources. Why would the .swf be looking for the .flv?
We generate a LOT of swfs where I work. We've got a group of people managing putting the swfs into our asset management system. These people do NOT have flash or anything adobe. However, they need to be able to determine the AS setting on the swfs. Is there a tool (preferably cheap or even free) that can be used to determine the Actionscript level of a swf?

View 2 RepliesIn FlashBuilder's compiler options (Properties->Flex Compiler), under "Adobe Flash Player options" there is an option for "Use a specific version", where you can tell it what Flash Player to link against:
How do I get this value at runtime? Note that I am not talking about the Flash Player version, but the version that the swf was linked against.
Is the flash version installed on, say IE, on a single computer the same version on other browsers installed on that same computer ?

View 7 RepliesMy artist just upgraded to Flash CS5, and ended up with Flash CS5.5. I've got Flash CS5, and can't read his files. "The document 'blahblahblah.fla' was created with 'Adobe Flash Professional CS5.5' and cannot be opened in this version of Flash." Did Adobe really bollix up the normal convention of software version numbering(#.001 - #.999 signifies compatibility) or is there something else going on?
