Actionscript panel levels

Ok, here is a goodie for you, I am so sorry but this is
driving me mad and I cant find help anywhere.
My Flash MX 2004 panel for actions shows in the expert mode,
or is there only one mode in this version? i am wanting to go to
the non expert mode. Can any one help?

there's only one mode for the actions panel.

Missing Actionscript panel??

Flash CS3 V.9.
F9 and also Window-Actions will not bring up the actionscript
panel anymore. It has been working fine for weeks until today. I
have tried re-booting etc, everything but re-installing.
Many thanks for any advice.

close all your other panels to make sure it's not bundled or
hidden by one of your open panels.

oh, and the only other person i found mentioning how to fix a
similiar problem said when their fonts (in suitcase) were turned
off, the crash occured, when the fonts were activated, no crash.
does this make any sense? which font do you think actionscripting
would need?

The only demo I had was for Photoshop CS3.
This problem occurs with both Flash 8 & CS3, so it can't
be tied to a demo.
I'm starting to think that it is font-related as trying to
open a different window in version 8 also crashes the program.
Any idea what fonts Flash needs to run? I'm trying to find
out online, but not having much luck. I'm going to try to contact
Adobe tech support....

ActionScript Panel not resizeable (vertically, with mouse)

Man I do hope adobe is going to add a simple resize area on the top corners of the AS window (or indeed any floating window)...at the moment, my AS window stretches down and off-screen for whatever reason and I find myself stuck trying to scale it back down. scrolling doesn't even work inside this floating window (on vista x64)
A workaround (if you can call it that), I've noticed from *having* to play around (while I should have been working) to try and get the window back to a normal workable/visable size.)
Right-click on the floating window (tab) in question and "Collapse to Icons", then click that specific icon to open the window to a managable size.
Adobe, please add the resize to the top left, right or both of floating windows.
thanks!

if you're unable to resize by dragging the top bar, click window/workspace/default. you then should be able to resize and customize to your liking.

Flash panels disappear on app switch

This is more of a preference thing then an actual problem but
I was wondering if anyone knew of a way I could keep my panels from
hiding when I switch programs in a mac. When I am using flash I am
often using dreamweaver or an internet browser to look at other
data and want to continue to see my actionscript panel in flash -
yet, when I switch to any of those other programs my panels go
away. I cannot seem to find an option that turns this feature off.
This seems to be a feature common among the adobe products but it
is extremely frustrating in flash. I am currently using Adobe CS3
and uses OS 10.4.11. Any help would be great.

Well after hours and hours of testing and the process of elimination, I traced my problem down to my flv player that I wrote. So I will go to the AS3 forum to see If I can get a hint on how to fix it.

Restoring Adjustment Levels Auto Color Corr Options

I entered the following key sequence:
Adjustments Panel | Levels | Alt-Click Auto | Find Dark & Light Colors | Snap Neutral Midtones | Midtones
After keying in this sequence and making adjustments to my photo, I inadvertently hit one too many OKs as I was exiting and PS changed my defaults. They now read: H: 55, S:0, B: 0, R: 128, G: 128 and B: 128.
How can I reset these values to their default settings? Or could someone tell me what they should be?
Thank you very much ... in advance.
Steve

Mark,
I'm looking to confirm that these are the correct values; otherwise, whenever I use an Adjustment Levels correction, my pictures will be thrown off by my erroneous default values. I think these are now correct, but I would like to confirm.

Flash CS3 seams sluggish with text and if actionscript window open

I have a movie clip on the stage that has a large text box
inside with 18-20pt font, 3-4 paragraphs of text. When I try to
scrub the timeline, the playhead on the timeline does not keep up
with my mouse... it lags way behind. It's like the Flash CS3
software starts to freeze or hang. And the text in the final swf
movie doesn't animate on the timeline.
What I did finally discover is that if I hide (turn off
visiblity) the layer on the timeline that has the text movie clip,
voila! I can now smoothly scrub the timeline. What gives??? I think
others have had similar issues with the CS3 actionscript panel.
My pc specs are as follows... (I think it should be beefy
enough to handle this simple text animation).
Vista Ultimate SP1 64-bit, Intel Quad Core, 8G Ram, 512MB
eVGA 9800GTX graphics card

You have to switch the focus back to the application and then
to the test window. Evidently between Flash MX04 (the one I have to
test) and CS3, they made it so that just clicking in the AS editor
window doesn't return the focus to the application. In that case
the Testing Environment intercepts the apple-enter and just
re-tests the already compiled version.
If you click the application window, then click the
actionscript window, it will recompile the swf. However I
personally don't find apple-w to close the window so
onerous.

ActionScript 2.0 in Flash CS3

I am thinking of upgrading from Flash 8 to CS3 but I'm
skittish about legacy code compatibility and would like the option
-- in CS3 -- of continuing to code in AS 2.0 for the foreseeable
future--until I know AS 3.0 cold and/or I'm ready to do whole new
projects in it. Is this possible?
I have books on both CS 3 and AS 3 and they don't seem to
address this question.
Thanks.

Sure thing.
>> In my Flash 8 Actionscript panel, for instance,
there is a pull-down
>> menu in the upper left that has the following
options: ActionScript
>> 1.0 & 2.0; Flash Lite 1.0 ActionScript or Flash
Lite 1.1 ActionScript
In Flash CS3, you get new entries in that list.
>> In Flash CS3, is that pull-down still there, with
ActionScript 3.0 the
>> default, and with ActionScript 1.0 & 2.0 below
it?
The default choice depends on what sort of FLA file you
open. If you do
File > New, you have the choice to start in AS3 or AS2
(which also counts as
AS1) -- or you can change the Publish Settings at any time
(File > Publish
Settings > Flash), though doing so after you've already
begun coding is very
likely to lead to warning and error messages, for obvious
reasons.

Learning AS 3.
I've heard good things about Rich Shupe's and Zevan Rosser's
"Learning
ActionScript 3.0: A Beginner's Guide" (O'Reilly). Hadn't
heard of Russell
Chun's book, but it has high marks on Amazon.com.
> Good starting points?
Based on Amazon reviewers, they look good! :) These seem to
focus more
on ActionScript 3.0 than 2.0, but if you're already
comfortable (at least,
comfortable enough) in AS2, that may be just what you're
after.

I value Colin Moock's work tremendously and regularly

"Foundation Flash CS3 for Designers" (friends of ED) has
been selling
very well and has also received favorable reviews on
Amazon.com. I wrote
that one last year with Tom Green, and it's been a neat
experience all
around. I'm usually very active on these forums, so that
might be useful if
you choose to buy that one. The past couple months have been
unsually busy
for me, because I'm working on a new title for O'Reilly, but
I'll be back in
the saddle very soon.

HTML from ActionScript BUG

Keeping track of user actions in HTML from ActionScript
Document-level event listeners can be assigned to the
JavasScriptObject as illustrated in the example below, which traces
each DOM element in the HTML to receive an onmouseup event.
var doc:JavaScriptObject = event.currentTarget.domWindow;
doc.onmouseup = function():void
trace(arguments[0].srcElement);
on first mouse click does not work. It's a BUG???

Hi Golev,
Try registering the Document-level event listeners on the
"complete" event of <mx:HTML>, like the following full
example. Based on your description, it seems those events (such as
doc.onmouseup) are registered on the "click" event instead. If
that's the case, the events won't get registered until the 1st
click and consequently won't get fired until the 2nd click.

ActionScript Packages

Hello,
I was wondering if some how it is possible to get a list of
actionScript packages with their descriptions. I'm having trouble
to find a description of this particular object
"mx.controls.DataGrid".

you can type
DataGrid in actionscript panel. select DataGrid and press F1
key... flash will show everything about DataGrid.

Ad-hoc ipa on iOS doesn't allow Actionscript Sampler

I’m having issues getting the sampler to work with iOS – has anyone else been able to introspect what functions are being called in the Actionscript tab within Scout? I’m getting the following info when I view the Actionscript panel in Scout: “Package your application with the -sampler option”.
I’m running my swf through TelemetryEasy and then using a bat file to package the swf up for iOS installation. When I run the Scout app on iOS it connects successfully with Scout on my desktop, and it says that the “ActionScript Sampler” is enabled.
Any assistance or confirmation that it is working for others (and perhaps what setup you’re using) would be much appreciated.
Need to add to my post above that I’m using ad-hoc mode. When I use interpreter mode the actionscript sampler does work, so am interested as to whether people using the ad-hoc packaging mode are having any luck in Scout.

Found it here http://help.adobe.com/en_US/air/build/WS901d38e593cd1bac1e63e3d128cdca935b-8000.html

Auto format in AS

I have installed Adobe CS3 Master Collection. I cannot use
AutoFormat in ActionScript panel. I have tried to change formatting
parameters in Preferences but it still does not operate. Earlier I
have used Macromedia Studio 8 (it was OK) and later trial version
of Flash CS3 (not from package) (it was OK).

bugs and behaviour like this is a suspicious sign of a wrong architecture,
too many cooks/programmers ruining the menu (a German spoke word), or
incomplete testing.
DPS is a massive complex system.but for these, data models and information
architecture are critical to success.
I see movement at adobe here. there are more and more people from adobe
responding to problems, actually engineering on these forums and more
concise product management. one can feel that.
but sometimes, these "funny" things happen... they don't matter to the big
publishers still on sprint 15 or enterprise level publishers with their own
track if DPS (visible in the cryptic version number for the WIRED reader
and others).
but they matter to the designers, makers, thinkers and people on the
bleeding edge of DPS actually trying to produce stuff and stumble upon
these things.

Need to connect different swf files into one site

I need to make this site like presentation for my next exam. I found a good template for a slide show. The presentation will be structured like this:
MAIN PAGE with sidebar which links to:
slide one with slideshow 1
slide two with slideshow 2
slide three with slideshow 3
slide four with slideshow 4
due to the nature of the code thou i cannot put the different slideshows into the same .swf file in different scenes (i copied and pasted them in each scene and modified the actionscript so they would refer to different pictures) because they will create conflict with each other. now they question is can i use the sidebar to link to different swf files but still make it look like it was just one big swf?
thank you!

Here is what you have to do
Create a document named main.swf in that document put 4 buttons and instance (button1_btn, button2, button3_btn, button4_btn).
Change the name to your slideshows to slide1.swf, slide2.swf, slide3.swf and slide4.swf.
Now go to the actionScript panel of your main.swf and paste the following code:
//load external content
var loader = new Loader
addChild(loader)
loader.x=0;
loader.y=0;
button1_btn.addEventListener(MouseEvent.CLICK, function(){
         loader.load(new URLRequest("slide1.swf"));
button2_btn.addEventListener(MouseEvent.CLICK, function(){
         loader.load(new URLRequest("slide2.swf"));
button3_btn.addEventListener(MouseEvent.CLICK, function(){
         loader.load(new URLRequest("slide3.swf"));
button4_btn.addEventListener(MouseEvent.CLICK, function(){
         loader.load(new URLRequest("slide4.swf"));
any problems let me know!!!

Inserting a pause at the end of a loop in a film clip...

Hi,
I just scanned in 16 frames from old 16 mm film and created a short clip in .swf, by default the clip is looping.
I want it to loop, but all I want to do is place a 5 second pause at the end of the short 1 second clip before it starts up again. How would I do that? Or is there a simple tutorial on this?
I am using CS4 Flash Professional.
Thanks.

OK thanks much,
So to do that, do i begin by highlighting the last frame (the last frame of the movie itself - actual film image) on the timeline, and go to main menu and select Insert>Timeline>Keyframe? Then insert stop(); on the last frame via the actionscript panel?
Then highlight the first frame and insert the setTtimeout() and play() onto the first frame?
I inserted the stop() command on the last frame and the clip now stops...
I tried adding this script on the last frame and clip stops but does not repeat after 5 seconds...
stop()
setTimeout(5)
play();

Whose the smartest can figure this brain teaser of AS 3.0 problem?

Spent all afternoon trying to figure out the following AS 3.0 problem in Flash CS4. I can load an image using a custom class (called "BitmapExample") inside a unnamed package by placing the class name in Class field in the Properties panel inside of Flash, everything works fine. The image and the .as file are in the same folder as Flash file.
The following is the code that reside in the "BitmapExample.as" file:
package {
       import flash.display.Loader;
       import flash.display.Sprite;
       import flash.net.URLRequest;
       public class BitmapExample extends Sprite {
                  private var url:String = "Image.gif";
                  public function BitmapExample() {
                        var loader:Loader = new Loader();
                        var request:URLRequest = new URLRequest(url);
                        loader.load(request);
                        addChild(loader);
BUT!! If I try to access the class file by 1) removing the name from the Class field in the Properties panel 2) Using the main Actions panel (F9) in Flash instead (in frame 1) and use the command:
var testLoad:BitmapExample = new BitmapExample();
I can access the class (I placed trace statements to double-check), but I CANNOT get the image to load using this method. Trust me, it's not a typing error (even if above is mistyped), I played around with it all afternoon. I could even take the applicable code from the *.as class and place inside the Flash ActionScript panel and get it to work.   Anyone should be able to take the above code and rename a gif file to duplicate the problem.
So bottomline: Why is that I can run an AS 3.0 class (that loads a picture) using the classname in the Properties - Document field, but NOT be able to load the same picture(though I can access the class) by creating an instance of the class in the Flash Actionst panel (F9) (you have to remove the class name in Properties - Document field for this method).
Trust me on this one, you'll have to run the code to probably know what I'm talking about.

Turns out you were right! Thanks so much......
So for those viewing this question, it is actually quite helpful, the point is:
When you enter a class name via the Properties panel - Class field in Flash CS4, it turns out Flash will not only access the class but will instantiate an instance of the object of that class AND add that object to the Stage as a display object.    On the other hand, if you use the Actions Panel (F9) you must manually 1) create an instance of that class 2) and add it to the Stage as a display object if you are going to use code and see any visible results on the Stage
var testbat:BitmapExample = new BitmapExample();
addChild(testbat);
