Move File From Finder Directly To Library?
May 25, 2009
On my PC at work, I can drag a file from Windows Explorer directy into my Flash movie's library. I can't seem to figure out how to do this on a Mac. I tried selecting my file and dragging it to the Dock over the Flash icon, where I hit space bar to pull up the entire Flash program and can see the library, but when I drag my file into the library, nothing happens. Please tell me there's a way to do this - without saying something like "just import it from the menu" - if there is another way.

I am a flash developer and I've got some experience in games and applications, but there is a problem that always comes back and that I solve in sometimes discussing manners, but I've decided to find the "good way" of doing it.Ok, here's my problem :I have a game where I set the publish setting to export in Frame 10. Most of the graphic content is already on the stage on the frame 10, but there are a few MovieClips that I add and remove using AS from the stage (a "How To Play" movieclip, for example).All the movieclips I want to use with AS are set to export in Frame 10 and are used in different custom classes.Everything works just fine if I set everything to export on Frame 1 and all my graphics are on frame 10, but not if I export in any other frame than 1.The workaround I've found is to create an instance of the objects I want to load outside of the stage, but I hate that way of doing things :I get no error if I create an instance of my movieclips through AS, but they won't show up when added to the display list (yes, I know how to use addChild )

I have a question about shapes (i mean the flash.display.Shape class). Is it possible to import Shapes directly from the library as Shapes and not as Sprites/MovieClips? Shapes are supposed to be faster than MovieClips/Sprites, right? So why is it only possible to import MCs/Sprites from the library? I understand that generally shapes could be created solely by actionscript, but in my case the shape comprises of many points and is curved - so it's quite infeasible.
Is there maybe some sort of plugin to generate code that would draw the desired shape from a drawn shape in CS4? And a last one: Are there any benchmarks out there for performance comparison between sprites/mcs/shapes? How much performance do i loose by using a sprite instead of a shape?

how to create a list that is sourced to an XML file and it also contains Movieclip attachments from the library.What I'm wondering is, If you were to add additional squirls to the XML list how would I go about creating a next page with a next button and/or previous button. I wouldn't want the menu to increase in size but show the additional information when the next button is clicked.Here is the the squirl Finder tutorial I'm talking about: http: [url]....

i've seen a few good examples to save out a png of the current flash display area from a webbrowser from a flash, such as:[URL]what they normally do is stream the image data through a png encoder to a web server somewhere and then decode the data back to current webbrowser and then trigger the web brower SAVE function, like a download, then you can choose where to save the file and the name of the file.However, what i like to have is when you click that save button, you can save your png image directly to a certain location with a fixed file name, such as on your local computer:D:flashimage01.pngor a file server: 10.21.111.111flashimage01.png

Is there a way to save a file directly from a movie? The one way involves php. The other way is to use FileReference save(), but this one opens a dialog box.
Is there a workaround to save the file directly from a movie with no php involved and no dialog boxes pop up?

In my child swf I am using the sound from library with "attachSound". I also use the play/pause button controls of this sound alongwith the other animation.Now when I load this into my main swf file with "loadMovie", It plays fine but no sound. I found that this is due to no sound linkage in my main file library.I want to share my child swf's library with main file's library.

I'm experiencing a problem which may have no solution, but I would like to know why I cannot do what I want to do.
PROBLEM: I am attempting to load in an external SWF file and once it is loaded, I wish to directly make the new Sprite/MovieClip into a button. However, the newly loaded Sprite/MovieClip seems to be resistant to be made into a button DIRECTLY. I would like to know why this is.

Firstly, although I've been using Flash on and off for years (since CS3) I don't use it very often so I apologise if my issue seems simplistic.Basically, I used Flash CS3 for a few years to create basic animations for clients, involving simple scrolling text, without any problems.Recently I upgraded to the CS4 Master Suite and then CS5 Master Suite within a couple of days of each other and I now need to use Flash to make a change to an old animation.When I opened the CS3 file it appears as expected and I made the changes to the text (changing a word or two within a line of type).When I right clicked on the type relevant frames within the timeline I noticed that there is now more than one version of tween available, and that classic tween was already selected (I think I better buy a new teach yourself Flash CS5 book!)
Anyway, that was allI needed to do so I initially pressed return and the text scrolled across the stage as expected.But when I clicked on CONTROL / TEST MOVIE / TEST (or cmd+Return on my Mac) the SWF file that appears is static and the text does not scroll at all.If I publish the movie using Actionscript 3 or 2 the resulting SWF file is also totally static. But if I drop the SWF file into the relevant website folder and view it through Dreamweaver's browser view facility it works perfectly and scrolls just as expected.Equally, opening it using the Opera browser works too.
I've tried altering the CS3 file and testing the movie in Flash CS4 and Flash CS5 but the same thing happens.It's a bit time wasting and inefficient wanting to test an animation as a SWF file by double clicking on it and only being shown a static image.Is this a well known problem as I couldn't find any mention of it during my search?

for first time decided to start using Classes to add my code instead of adding it directly in Flash and I really thought I knew how to handle this since I have created some re-usable classes before where you target an object by passing parameter etc,I thought that if I had one function (method) in my class and I wanted to call it from my .fla file all I needed to do was to create an instance of the class and then call my method.[code]But this doesn't work I get a message that says that it is missing arguments.how to use my code directly on a class and what are the differences of doing this versus putting the code directly on my .fla file and if it's even a good practice to do this?

In code I use this before URLLoader (swf will be used with many different domains and this will be changing in time):
Security.allowDomain("*");
In http:[url]...., I have this for test:
<?xml version="1.0" ?>
<cross-domain-policy>[code].........
I used [url].... to create access for any domain (for test) and copied it directly into file server and also test if [url].... is accessible. I checked flashlog.txt and found that [url].... is loaded but will be ignored because of its syntax error - its generated by crossdomainmaker website and also correct with specifications and examples over internet, so what can I do?

I would like to code an script that would with some trial and error method learn to play QWOP game, that is available at Flash format on Internet (more information on QWOP). I found out there are some challenges on it: The program is available on Flash and I don't know how any Script (I am planning to use JavaScript) could use virtually its UI, it means to send the appropriate key strokes to the game UI. I know Java Script is not the easiest language to master and especially there are challenges on such a complicated coding aim as Artificial Intelligence.

Is there any "mainstream" library used for this purpose? Commonly spread, well maintained, documented etc.I found these (using flash):
Uploadify - not many releases, latest 12/2010, no documentation (!)
SWFUpload - latest release 03/2010, documentation
fancyupload - looks buggy.
phpfileuploader - looks heavyweight, and looks commercial (?) I cannot read the licence (you can download it but are you allowed to use it forever without paying?) plupload New version of pure javascript (no flash) Valums' ajax upload claims to handle file size limit and progress bar, which is quite suspicious to me: these features require to guess the file size before the upload, which seems impossible in javascript (look also here). Or can it work?

I'm trying to add the Flint Particle system to my Flash CS4. I downloaded the swc file. Currently this file is residing on my desktop for testing purposes. I am on a Mac, if that makes any difference, but I went to file -> Publish settings -> Flash... then under the AS3 settings I added the path to the swc via the swc importer under the external library path. I then added the code that was given Here (under step 5-- add the Action Script)When I go to run the file, though, [code]...
