Is it possible to set up FDT so that it only builds the workspace when I save (as opposed to constantly or manually) like it does in Flash Builder (previously Flex Builder) and if so, how?
View 2 RepliesIn TFS 2010 build, I have a new build and I want to call an ant script that builds Flash. How do I call the ant script? Also How can I compile the Flash directly? I've seen the Power Tools and this question but it doesn't help me as we don't have TFS 2008. I can't find any documentation on how to use the power tools except the 1 sentence on the bottom of download page saying to create your build the old way and import it (which isn't very helpful). I've installed the power tools on the agent computer but I don't see any new options in the Toolbox when I'm designing the build flow.
View 2 RepliesI just started working with ant a few days ago. Right now I have a general buildall.xml which should call each project's build.xml. Because some projects depend on each other, I need to rebuild some other projects which depend on it. This isn't a problem--I'm just setting the depends property of the target. However, ant is always building the dependencies, even when the files haven't changed.Let's say project1 has no dependencies; project2 depends on project1; project3 depends on project1, 2; project4 depends on project1, 2, and 3; and so on.I could hack a solution which looks at project K, and checks if project 1 .. project K have updated files using uptodate. If so, then run the target. This is messy and appears unnecessary.
What is the cleanest way to implement this?EDIT: So I decided to just hack in a bunch of targets, "check_projectK" where it does the uptodate checks on all of its source files, its build file, and the build files of the 1 .. K-1 projects. Due to dependencies, this is always handled correctly. However, this is still a large amount of copy and paste for a large workspace.
Using FDT, when I have a debug configuration with several operations in the launcher chain and the final launcher opens in Flash Player, how can I retrieve the build output from the console once the build is complete and Flash player is running?
It seems that once Flash Player has started the console clears to make way for the application's trace output, but I need to be able to look back over the events and build times for each item in my launch chain while Flash Player is running. Is there a setting I can enable to either log my build output to a file or to preserve it in the console?
Edit: I know I can still read the info when building normally, this question is specifically for building with the debugger.
Im trying to save from fla or swf to .mov or .avi. without having to buy a 3rd party app.I've tried exporting from Flash but both my computers just sit there and don't finish the job.I can't see any options to save as an .avi file either.I've tried opening both the swf and fla files in Quicktime with Perian

View 1 RepliesNot sure if this better for stackoverflow or apple.stackexchange.com (as there is a programming angle and a apple angle) so hopefully this is the right place. i need to build a website that normally would need to be done in flash (because of the requirements for animation) but the owner wants to run this site on ipad and iphone. i thought that all of the iOS stuff didn't support flash but looking into the adobe flash website here, it says that it has iOS support.
Can someone please clarify if iPad, iPhone will support a website if i create it in flash If it doesn't, then does anyone know what it means on the link that it has support for Apple iOS ??

View 3 RepliesI just got asked if it was possible to build an app in Flash,The prospective client wants to be able to view what users of the app are doing (note: with there knowledge) and may possibly want to give them instructions via a chat window.The App the clients are doing is a desktop like app. (not ****).Ok, I know how to this using Windows RDP connections and third party software. But I was wondering can I do this exclusively in Flash, Or do I need some variety of media server etc.
View 3 RepliesI have made a cartoon section that needs to go into a video movie, it uses a lot of movie clips etc. It needs to be very high resolution- 1920x1080 When I just export it as an avi, none of the movie clips animate- they just slide around on the first frame of their animations.
When I export is as a .mov the file size is huge and I am not even offered the ability to compress it. It is like 8 gigs. When it was finally done the movie played in slow motion- the clip was about twice as long as it should have been.When I saved the file as an swf, and then tried to convert it to an avi using a converter, all the movie clips moved in doubletime, while the animations in the timeline were fine. How can I get my flash file to play in a standard video format.
is there a way, anyway, to save a flash file to reader?
View 15 RepliesI've recently upgraded to Flash CS4. However, the project I'm currently working on was started in CS3 and I need to keep it as a CS3 as I transfer the .fla file between two computers because one only has Flash CS3. Is there way of setting it so when I click 'Save' or Ctrl+S it saves it automatically as a CS3 fla, rather than automatically converting it from a CS3 to CS4 file? I'm serial Ctrl+S hitter so this is getting really annoying now having to go to File>Save As everytime!

View 3 RepliesI want to compile an FLA that I want to use as resources for two slightly different application in two different folders.
something like this
library.FLA

I could just copy them manually, but with multiple files there's always room to forget one file.
I've been all over the interwebs, including Stack Overflow, for hours, trying to identify a solid, workable example of saving information in Flash into an XML file.
I want to take the positions of two different types of objects and export the lists of each to XML. We'll call the objects ball and bat.

isn't there a way, with Flash CS5, to automatically save files in CS4 format without having to do Save As...
View 5 RepliesI need to edit some CS5 files but don't have CS5. If anyone could open these and save them down to CS4 I'd be hugely grateful. There are 4 files. If there's a way I can return the favour I will. eg some beer money via PayPal.

I need to have a Quicktime.mov file play inside an .swf using the QT controller. According to [URL]
1. Do one of the following:To link the video clip directly to the current Flash document, select File > Import > Import To Stage.To link the video clip to the library for the current Flash document, select File > Import > Import To Library.
2. Select Link To External Video File, and click Next.
3. If you imported the video clip directly to the Stage in step 1, a warning appears if the imported clip contains more frames than the span in which you are placing it in the current Flash document.Do one of the following:To extend the span the required number of frames, click Yes.To keep the span at its current size, click No. Frames in the imported clip that exceed the frames in the span do not appear unless you subsequently add frames to the span.
4. Select Control > Play. Preview a linked QuickTime video before you publish your SWF file. When you import a linked QuickTime video, Flash adds the required number of frames to preview the QuickTime video, the same as it does for an embedded video.
Note: You cannot use the Test Movie command to preview linked QuickTime video content.[URL]

View 4 RepliesI am currently building a website entirely in Flash, and I am fearing that it is becoming too large because I am having it all load on startup. Is there a way for me to have the file load to say, frame 10, and stop loading, then when a button is clicked to bring you to a new frame that has not been loaded, load the necessary frames? (I would also like to have a preloader for each time a button is clicked that takes you to frames that haven't been loaded yet.)
A specific example would be a photo gallery I want to incorporate into the site. When the user presses a button to view the photo gallery, I want a frame with a gallery of thumbnails to load that has not been previously loaded, and then when each thumbnail is clicked, the frame with the large picture in it should be loaded.
Or use flash in an html container? I know it really depends on what the site is about so for this site it will eventually be an ecommerce site selling clothing.If I construct the site with flash, how big should the page properties be when setting it up?

I have successfully buit a nice website using Flash CS4. I am wanting to deploy the site this weekend and I'm working on the finishing touches. I would like to add a preloader so that the viewer will have everything loaded when the action starts. how to make the simple "rotary lines" that are so popular? I've seen these and they look to be about an inch across and move like the hands of a clock. I think it may even say "Loading..." or similar. Since I'm still learning quite a bit, I did not know if Flash actually offers some "preloaded" tools for stuff like this? Or am I better off going to [URL] and taking a tutorial?

View 4 RepliesCurrently we have a large project that was created in Flash and AS3. I know that you can't really compile or build fla's with ANT. I have seen all of the flex capabilities with ANT.We want to customize our final product so that we can swap out images and color schemes (other things too) on the command line.We want to use ANT to be able to build our project and control the command line.Basically end product, the user will just tell it where the images are and only take a couple minutes.Do we have to convert our project into Flex to do this?
