- bring in 3D?I purchased Flash under the--now I understand mistaken--impression that it
works great with illustrator. (last time I used Flash it was 1999)
I was having fun limited illustrator 3D abilities, and I was hoping to be able
to bring stuff to flash and animate it. I actually managed to do this but it
wasn't fun and or easy and it doesn't look good. After reading this board I am
surprised it worked at all.
(Not to state the obvious, I kept the objects vector. If I have made them
png, I guess that would have fixed the problem, but I sort of imagined that
being able to work with vector objects was part of the point of Flash. This
animation has only about 50 steps, so that would be lots of pngs, well I dont'
know. Is that what everyone does? I thought the file would be too big.
So now the flash file has about 5 000 graphics in the library. Oh well. So
much for illustrator.
About the only thing that worked well about it, the layers did fall nicely
into the frames.
But is there any 3D program that would work well with Flash. Nothing
complicated, but something that could render basic shapes and keep the
gradients after they are brought over to Flash? And, nothing against Freehand,
I am always a game when it comes to learning new potentially usefull graphic
programs, but really, is there a point learning it at this time? I would
assume greater Ilustrator compadibility is *just* around the corner, and I do
not come accros many projects asking for Freehand otherwise... Plus, how is
Freehand with 3D stuff, any capacity?
What other program?

- No internet access for Flash updateYou mis-understand the nature of publishing a Flash projector. It is not the
same as publishing a swf file which generally runs in an html page via the web
and will only work if the client has the flash browser plug-in available. The
projector has the flash player built in so no downloads should be necessary at
all.
Go to 'file>publish settings' to see the publishing options for your flash
presentation. One of the possible publishing formats is a windows projector
(exe) or macintosh projector (hqx stuffed file). You should tick one of these
(or both if you're making a hybrid CD - runnable on Mac & PC).
Now when you publish your movie it produces a full executable file (with an
exe extension for PC) which has the flash player built in. This is what you put
on the CD. When your client runs the CD, the projector will run (via the
autorun.inf file - look it up) and your presentation should start without any
need of internet access or downloading anything.

- Can flash access the hard disk on the fly?Hey,
Does anyone know if Flash MX2004 has the capability to allow the user to
access their hard disk through an .swf movie?
If it cant, can director? I'm a bit lost with a project and cant seem to find
out if there is anything which will allow me to do this.
Any wisdom would be greatly appreciated!

- How does it transfer data, and how much hardware do you need?Hi!
I have two questions.
1. How does FCS send the data between people that are seeing each other though
a camera?
Is it Client1->Server->Client2 or is it Client1->Client2? I am talking about
the data so to speak. I can understand that FCS will need the server to
initialise some ports on the booth clients, but when that is done, how does
that work?
2. If you purchase professional edition, with 10Mbit/s and 2500 users. How is
this calculated? I mean what kind of server will you need to serve 2500 users?
And would 2500 users use more than 10Mbit/s if it was possible? Or is it more
probably that about 5000 users will use 10Mbit/s? Anyone here with experience
of that? I am talking about a program that sends sound and video.
Thanks!

- Site Approved ;-)
The music is hmm... doesn't quite suit it, something with drum and bass -light would definitely.
But I must say I do like the Sound Option @ the bottom left of the screen, done very nice.
___ Swish....>> ;-)
I do really like the sky in the screen and the globe animation.
I did notice something not quite right with the button rollover effect?
When I move my mouse pointer over any of the buttons it flickers, black/white
- It does look like it is struggling slightly?
I suggest you change the rollover to a neutral colour - (a light red), that way it will still be obvious to the user which button they have navigated over.
I mean don't know if you meant for the buttons to have that black/white look/ Personally I don't like it.

couple of flash movies which trace, for example, round a building and then once
finished it fades to the full jpeg. Is this possible? Thanks

- Image Sequences1.) What is an image sequence? Is this just a series of still frames
that might be created in a program such as Illustrator or Photoshop?
2.) Is anything special done to the frames in the programs the files are
created in order for Flash to recognize it as a image sequence?
Thanks.

- Audio Player with a DefferenceI have read a number of discussions here about creating a simple audio player
and have downloaded some scripts. What I want to know is...does this creature
exist? A simple PLAY button...and a STOP button...(and maybe pause & FF etc but
not important) BUT where the audio file is external, not imbedded in the Flash
player itself. In other words, I don't want Windows Media Player to pop up AND
I don't want a 2 MB audio file to slow down the Flash Player. THAT is what is
happening with the one I created. I imported the audio file into Flash. That
makes the Flash Player suddenly heavy. I don't want that.
What am I doing wrong?

project that requires more understanding of Flash than i have, my main problem

there an action that can be attached to a button that will make frames of a
movie clip play in reverse???? any help would be sincerely appreciated!

do you mean track hits to areas within a swf?
yes, with some backend integration i.e. write whatever info you want to
a db or file etc each time the desired thing happens in flash e.g
loadVariables("log.cfm", "_root", "POST");.
or let someone else do the backend stuff for ya e.g.
http://www.statsinaflash.com/ i'm in no way recommending this service,
just came across it the other day and using it as an example, haven't
used it myself.
OR - if you're meaning you want to know how google might index your swf,
download the search engine sdk
http://www.macromedia.com/software/flash/download/search_engine/
and run it on your own swfs locally to see what should be retrieved by
the googlebots.

Note: CSS is TextStyleSheet support not full blown CSS. Full CSS would be over kill since you would arange elements and layers outside of a textField. TextFields being one of the many parts.

See my responce above about CSS. To restate my point above, there is no need for CSS beyond Text Styles because all the other elements are not within the textField but are rather there own entities. Also, there are scripts that do some text formating, but do those scripts read external .css files and apply them? Can you replicate a hover with those scripts?

Last I looked there are nearly 30 components.

Perhaps the ones that ship are useless for experianced developers, but concider building your own. The potential for what can be done is huge.

Perhaps you and I would not use them, but doesn not mean that they are not a needed and useful features for other users. New users esspecially will find this useful I am sure.

Ok, let me make this comment. The NFR software that we get is NOT to used for development work in any way. I can't sell it either (obviously). It is supplied to use so that we have access to the software versions being asked about. This is so that we can provide the Macromedia development community help with real world issues that they are having. I don't get payed. I don't get free software that I can _use_. I don't get flown to convensions or get into conversions for free.
So, tell me how my opinion is biased?

- link mpeg to FlashYou might have to learn a little Flash for this one but try using the Media
Display components. The Help window within your flash program should help with
how to set it up and how to display it. Of course I'm assuming you have Flash
MX 2004 Pro.

- Can i Recover my file?I accidentally caused a crash in Flash pro 8, by choosing to payback the
animation, and slecting the zoom menu...
It's currently open, but not responding, and i was wondering if there is any
way of getting the work ive done on it... as ive (rather stupdly i know) been
working for 7 hours on this and in all that time i havent saved once... (when
im in a creative mood its difficult to concentrate wih saving every 5 minutes)
So if flash temporarily stores information, i was wondering if its possible
for me to make a cop of that before i close the not responding flash program..
(id like some advice fairly soon as its maxing out my CPU usage at the moment
and i dont want my processor burning a molten hole out the bottom o my pc)

- Flash Filter displayHi,
When I create a victor shape in Flash working environoment and apply any
filter to it, the shape looks like a bitmap image when zooming in. But when
publishing the file and zooming in the same published shape, it looks like a
victor map shape.
Do any one know how does this happen? and why?
Do any one got a documentation that describe what is happening?

- Video SyncHi, I am compressing several (14) video clips using Sorenson Squeeze and
importing them into the Flash authoring environment. Each clip is assigned to
a specific scene. When I publish and playback the movie, the video starts to
lose sync with the audio towards the last 4 or so scenes. Any ideas to what
could be causing this? Data rate? FPS? Thanks.

- resize entire swf?i'm importing my swf into a director movie. my swf is 750x340 and i need to resize it to 597x283. i did not know it would need to be resized until the movie was created. surely there is an easier way to resize the entire movie at once than having to resize every layer, graphic, and text tween one at a time. Needless to say trying to simply scale and resize the movie in director completely jacks up the quality of the movie and images.
HELP please!
thank you

- Sending data out of Flash for Saba PublisherI have an interactive Flash simulation that I have imported into SABA
Publisher. I need for the Flash file to communicate with SABA, basically
returning that the user has successfully completed the simulation. SABA is
supposed to be able to receive data from Flash. I am not experienced in this
type of programming, can anyone point me in the right direction on either how
to accomplish this or where to find the information on how to do it????

- Cursor / Mouse IconI want to change my mouse pointer to an open hand on rollOver and to a grasped
hand on click of a button so that the button looks like its being grabbed. I
presume you use the code:
onClipEvent (load) {
startDrag("", true);
}
Is this correct? My main question though is where do you get the little white
and black pixel icons? I've seen the same open and grasped hand on a few sites
so I presume they're generic default icons that come with flash? Or flash
resource sites? Any suggestions?
Thanks.
