- Font Problem! What's happening?Hi,
I'm working with a file that someone else created and which uses a font called
Helvetica 68 Roman. I installed the font on my computer (mac running OS 10.3),
but when I open the flash file, flash can't find the font and it requests that
I substitute it with another.
For some reason, "Helvetica 68 Roman" gets listed in Flash's font list as "68
Helvetica Roman" in flash. I guess this confuses Flash.
So I did the next logical thing: I substituted "Helvetica 68 Roman" with "68
Helvetica Roman". When I do this, the font gets scrunched up and looks bad.
ANY suggestions? I'm goin' crazy!
cheers,
jen

- Stop FLV Under Layer
Hi again,
I just tried the "Control Shockwave or Flash action" in Dreamweaver 8,
trying to control the built in FLV player.
It doesn't work with either the "play, stop, rewind, or gotoframe" options.
The Dreamweaver Help - Online Version, had a user comment with a similar
result.
Any ideas??
Regards,
Toe Cutter

- Go to next slide and stopI am a newbie to Flash, though not to programming. I have made a slide
presentation that is interactive. I do not want a slide to play until user
clicks a button. But each slide plays once before it stops.
I have tried many things that do not work:
stop(); in frame 1 of each slide
gotoAndStop(1); in the navigation button
variations on that:
currentSlide.gotoAndStop(1);
currentSlide.stop();
etc.
None of these stops the slide from playing once upon entry.
Please help! Thanks.

- Both of these objects have a 1 point strokehttp://img264.imageshack.us/img264/9015/mihranyp5.jpg
I made no changes to the drawing setting when creating the images in the pic.
They were created in two different scenes, however. This happens to me
occasionally. Line sizes just seem to go crazy for reasons that are beyond me.
How can I make sure that my lines all look the same.

- Can't seem to get buttons to work...Howdy'all - great forum here! Pretty much a complete Flash newbie here - this board has helped a lot already. I am trying to use a dynamic scrolling image menu system for a photographic image website I'm putting together. The images scroll left or right in relation to the mouse direction and stop scrolling and enlarge when the mouse is placed over them. What I would like to do is place invisible buttons on the enlarged images that link to each one's respective gallery when they are clicked. I've tried editting the roll-over popup buttons and placing buttons on the enlarge dimages but I can never seem to get it to work. The closest I came was the buttons would link to the site when they were clicked but no longer enlarged when the mouse was over them. Anybody have any ideas? All help is greatfully appreciated.
I downloaded the file from Flash Kit http://www.flashkit.com/movies/Scripting/Scrolling/Dynamic_-Mario_Fl-3949/index.php?chk=no
I've attached the zip version of the file.
Thanks!

- NetStream flv plays fast after a pauseHas anyone else had a problem with playing FLV files via the NetStream object
where after pausing the netstream object for a few seconds and then resuming
the FLV will continue to play at a much faster speed until it reaches the place
where it would still be playing if you hadn't paused it. It then plays at
normal speed again.
It appears that the FLV feels the need to catch-up to where it would have been.
I'm getting this issue in Safari on OS X Tiger but I think I've seen the same
issue on IE6 on Windows XP.
Could anyone shed any light on this matter?

- Flash MX2004 (7) website testSorry that this may sound a little redundant or basic. But I am looking to
have a Flash navigation bar on my website and some people can see it -- and
some can not.
I do know that there is something to add into the flash actionscript and all,
but I do not know what it is or what else to do. Could you please give me a
hand as to what i need?
I am a little bit new to Flash when it comes to writing the actionscript so
you know.
Thanks,

- need tutorial: how to stream videoI`ve just installed free flash server 2 locally - on XP.
I need it for streaming video from a linux server.
Tried searching this forum for streaming video and found nothing
simple enough for a newbie to start from.
What I need is a tutorial for:
1. Creating a mechanism for streaming FLV
2. I would then need instructions on how to test it locally on my already
installed server on xp
3. Basic instructions on how to install the downloaded linux server files on
my remote linux space.
4. instructions on the upload and testing of the above said video streaming
mechanism from
the remote server.
Any directions to any existing dummies-tutorial for any of the above will be
greatly appreciated.
Have a nice day.

- a problem with buttons linking properlyHello,
I am working in flash mx and need a fairly quick answer if at all possible, as
I have to finish this project (a website-based setup) very soon. Has anyone
ever faced an issue with buttons that only work inside of the flash document
(ie, when "enable simple buttons" and "enable live preview" are activated in
the control menu drop down)., but that do not work when during a publish or
publish preview? For instance, I have a "home" button which works fine in
certain scenes by linking back to home like it is supposed to, but in other
scenes, instead of going back to the home page when pressed, it just refreshes
the current page. Once again these home buttons work wonderfully inside of
flash mx with the preview mode on.
I checked the actionscript among these buttons, and it is all consistent.
Thanks for any help,
LJ

- quick time moviesI have made a collection of quicktime movies, which are all optimized to the
right size, and I want to launch them from Flash.
This can be very simply done in Dreamweaver by using the Open Browser Window
behaviour, but that method does not work in Flash. I tried to assign the code
from Dreamweaver to my Flash button, the program says there are no errors, but
it does not work. Then I decided to link to an empty html page, which has an
Open Browser Window behaviour onLoad and that works, but then I have a
disturbing empty page, which I would like to get rid of automatically.
Can anybody tell me how this can be done. I really ought to be simple.
Miso
PS.: Don't tell me to embed the quick time file in Flash, I am not satisfied
with that solution.
Also, don't tell me to download another program to solve this. It must be
possible.

- Site check - suggestions from the pro's!In my opinion:
Some animation would be nice to see or simple transitions between pages.
Text could probably use some attention. Different font or change some
formatting with the text.
Otherwise the site is really simple and easy to use. Nice look too.
Probably would of been better to do it all in html/css.

- Current documentation help.Will someone please provide a some recent documentation about flash remoting to
a .cfc using flash 8 . I have been trying for over a week to query a database
with no success. When I use cfinvoke, my components work just fine. All the
examples/articles I find are old / out of date. I think if I query a database
and populate a combobox component just once successfully, I think it will be
all I need to start kicking butt. I would especially like to see any
information on how to use the netconnection debugger because I can't see any
errors if they are there.
Thanks

Anyone have any suggestions as to what to do.

- Can Flash export VECTOR or outlined text in PDF,Ai or EPS?We have a web based flash interface that allows customer to design a custom
product online. The problem is that the flash then creates a PDF and that PDF
never matches what the customer designed in the flash application. The line
and letter spacing is always off. I think the problem would be fixed IF we
could create or export a PDF or a Ai file or a EPS file from FLASH that did NOT
have the editable text. At the moment of EXPORT it needs to convert all text
to vector or outlined text. That would alleviate the FONT problems. Does
anyone know of a plug-in or some method for doing this?

- Scrolling Text - customising the look and feel?Hey. I'm new to flash.. aspiring web designer... and i need help on editing my
scrollable text. I've set the field to dynamic text and added a scrollbar, but
i cannot customise individual words and titles within the text field (ie. make
a title bold and seeting it to a different colour to make it visually separate
from the main text under the subtitle) Can anyone give me some quick fix advice
or direct me to a tutorial that will help me solve this problem? I'd appreciate
it big time as im exhausted with searching for answers! Thanks

- Component Loader HelpSo, when I follow the directions in the Flash tutornial to load a component,
they don't load when I run the final flash file. (To create an application with
the Loader component: 1. Drag a Loader component from the Components panel to
the Stage. 2. Select the loader on the Stage and use the Free Transform tool to
size it to the dimensions of the corporate logo. 3. In the Property inspector,
enter the instance name logo. 4. Select the loader on the Stage and in the
Component inspector, and enter http://corp.com/ websites/logo/corplogo.jpg for
the contentPath parameter.) Is there something else I need to do. I just want
it to load a jpeg from an external URL.

- Possible memory issue transitional from FP7 -> FP8Hi
This issue seemed to be referenced briefly in another thread regarding a
BitmapData garbage collection issue. Halfway down this thread jdavies mentioned
a zoomable map that was fine from FP4-7 but caused out of control page file
usage when running in flash 8 player. This wasn't resolved on the thread.
http://www.macromedia.com/cfusion/webforums/forum/messageview.cfm?catid=194&thre
adid=1080995&highlight_key=y&keyword1=memory%20leak
My problem is similar. We have a project (exported as FP7) featuring a
zoomable map. When you zoom right in and pan around, PF usage goes up very
steeply and eventually slows everything to a crawl. zooming out again doesn't
reduce the memory usage. It 'feels' like perhaps the giant, zoomed-in map's
screen representation is being bitmapped and then kept?
http://polarwandering.co.uk/
Can anyone confirm that this is a known issue with legacy content? It's a
shame because FP8 otherwise boosts performance of this site massively. Except
when you're really zoomed in, when it kills it.... :-/
I'm currently trying to download the Flash 8.5 beta to see if this has been
fixed. If anyone recognises the sound of this problem, please could you respond?
Thanks in advance,
Jaron

- Problem with v6 FLA File - Unexpected File FormatI am sure that this has been covered here before, but I searched
extensively through Google and this group and have yet to find any
helpful info.
I have received a file from a contract job and "flavor" says that it is
a Version 6 (MX) file. I have MX, MX 2004 Pro and Version 8 Pro all
installed on my computer and I can't open it with any of them.
Is there anything I am missing. I have searched high and low to see if
there is any updates that I can apply to my version 6 software but have
yet to come up with anything.

- exe file to load in movieI seem to remember a change in MX, that you now have to make a separate folder called fscommand where the exe's should be.
Macromedia Flash Player 6 Streaming Issue
4
Trouble using FS Command "exec" in a Flash Projector
?
Security features have been added to the Flash Player 6 standalone. Files that you wish to launch using fsCommand("exec"), must reside in a folder along with the projector, named "fscommand".
For complete information on the previous issue with fsCommand and Flash Projectors, or for more information on security in general, refer to Macromedia Security Zone.
