Hi
Please elaborate a bit more as you want users to download pdf from your site or print site page as pdf etc
If its regarding documents then you can add add df documents in your site and then link them to pages where users can download the pdf, if you are referring to print page then you can provide information for ctrl+p/cmd+p , or add html code for print shortcut.

Adobe Flash CS3 Rollover Question

This should be a relatively simple question. I am using Adobe
Flash CS3. I created an image in photoshop with layers and imported
it in to flash. Basically the image I have is a map with a bunch of
different states and my goal if when a user rolls over a state I
want to state to display a color. As many of you know states are
not in perfect rectangles, so when I do this click on a layer,
convert to a symbol, then change the rollover state to the way I
want it, the active rollover "hotspot" overlaps with other states
because the layer outline overlaps with the other layers. Therefore
I can not produce the ability to click or rollover neighboring
states. Basically I need to use some type of hotspot function or
tool to get rid of the default rectangle that revolves around the
state.
Please give me specific directions on how to change the layer
shape to conform more with the actual layer rather than a rectangle
surrounding the layer.
Please let me know if you have any questions,
Neil

How to install
When you click a link, a download of the installer file occurs to your Downloads Folder usually located next to your Trash Can or in your Users Folder.
Open the folder and double click (or File: Open) the download and icon can appear on your desktop which you open and inside is a installer package which you double click on to launch the installer.
OS X will check the download to make sure you intended to start it and that it's not malware it knows about.
Follow the installer instructions to install the software onto your computer and quit when finished.
Some require the browsers to be closed first, others require the machine to be restarted to enable the software.
Once the install is completed, remove any and all downloads from your Download folder, it's safer to keep this folder empty so you can keep track of what appears in there.
Drive by downloads of malware can occur and reside in the Downloads folder, mixing in with files residing there and await your click to install.

Adobe flash cs4 as3 button question

Hi,
I just wonder that how can i write this code that means if the "specific" button is clicked(i mean if the homebutton is clicked=true) like this..
and how can i refer a button that in main stage while in an another clip's substage..
ty all

A button beiong clicked is an event, not a persistent state, so if you want to have some conditional outside of the button's normal event listening/handling code, then you would need to create such a property/variable. So you could create a variable: var homeClicked:Boolean = false; and when the button gets clicked, your event handler function could assign: homeClicked = true. You could then use something like...
if(homeClicked){
// do whatever you intend
To refer to an object in the parent timeline you can use: MovieClip(this.parent).objectName

Flash CS3 Button question

Is there any way that I can set up buttons that can be controlled outside of flash? I'm developing a flash header for a friend's website. The header has buttons which link to pages on the site. My friend, who does not have flash, would like to be able to control the pages that the buttons direct to. Is there actionscript that could direct the button to get a url extension stored outside of the swf?

Now that I have my movieclip buttons all set, I have a problem.
This is setup like a "jeopardy looking" game of a series of buttons, where when one clicks on a button, the answer appears and remains on the screen. Now I have to add another button "for more info click here" on that answer screen (which is in the down state.)
When I add another frame label inside that mc button, and point the new button to "go to and stop" there, it doesn't. I see it appear for a second and then goes back to the "over" state.
I hope this makes sense. Thank you for any suggestions.

Adobe Flash Security Update Question Version 9 and 10

How are you? So I was checking out a security website at the Washington Post when I came upon this article http://voices.washingtonpost.com/securityfix/2009/02/adobeissues_security_updatef.html#comments
In the article it detailed that Adobe issued a security update for its Flash Player. This was on February 26, 2009.
Why were we unaware of this update? So I went to the link to find out what version of Flash did I have on my Macbook Pro, it was this: You have version 9,0,151,0 installed
I was unsure of whether to update to Flash 10, do you recommend updating to Flash 10, what are the pros and cons?
The article had a link if you wanted to keep Flash 9 but get the security update. So I tried to download and install the Flash 9 update. When I got to the install part it said it was unable to install, something of a preinstall failure, I did not write down the error message. Why is it not installing?
Is it because in the last Leopard security update this issue was resolved? Is that also the reason we were notified of this Adobe security update?
What other programs come preinstalled with Leopard or Safari that we need to check the security on our own????
Thanks for your time.

Yes, you should update your FlashPlayer. The latest version includes the security update but doesn't say so.
You should also ensure you have installed Apple's security update 2009-001.
The latest version of Adobe FlashPlayer can be obtained from here:
http://www.adobe.com/shockwave/download/download.cgi?P1ProdVersion=ShockwaveFlash
(You can check here: http://www.adobe.com/products/flash/about/ to see which version you should install for your Mac and OS.
Note that Adobe requires you to uninstall any previous version of Flash Player, as mentioned here:
http://kb.adobe.com/selfservice/viewContent.do?externalId=tn_14157&sliceId=1
using the uninstaller from here (make sure you use the correct one!):
http://kb.adobe.com/selfservice/viewContent.do?externalId=tn_14157
and also that you follow the instructions closely, such as closing ALL applications first before installing. You must also carry out a permission repair after installing anything from Adobe.

New Adobe Flash player update stops installing at 25%

I have the latest OS update on my mac
So I download the dmg, i double click the install adobe flash player button, I allow "open", I put in my password, and it starts installing but always freezes at 25%. Please Help!

Hello,
This morning we resolved a problem that prevented Flash Player installations from completing for some of our Macintosh users.
If you encountered this problem, please delete any previously downloaded Flash Player installer and either:
Download the installer again from https://get.adobe.com/flashplayer, OR
Download the stand-alone installer posted at the bottom of the http://helpx.adobe.com/flash-player/kb/installation-problems-flash-player-mac.html in the ‘Still having problems’ section.
If the behaviour reproduces, please clear the browser's cache and try downloading again.
Thank you.

A few questions about Adobe Flash

questions:
1.Can adobe flash use web services?
2.How does adobe flash handle the back button or bookmarks?
3.Can adobe flash interact with javascript on a page? Like
call a javascript function and pass it XML as a
parameter?
4.How does adobe flash handle asychronous post backs?
5.Can flash interact with cookies or store information on the
users computer which the flash file can interact
with?
6.Can a adobe flash file be created dynamicaly on the server,
so the flash file the user receives will be more
tailored to them? Or is the Flash file just a static compiled
file thats imported into the html? By this I
mean can the information and images and menus the flash file
will display be pulled from a database and
dynamically generated per user?
7.I've read somewhere a while back that google was trying to
make flash files serchabe so that they can be
listed on googles search engine. Is this an easy
implementation or can only professional flash programmers
accomplish this?
8.Whats the learning curve for learning adobe flash, if I
have many years experience in programming web
applications using html, css, vb.net, and javascript? Not
just learning actionscript but also learning how to
use Adobe flash to create full flash websites?
Okay, so thats more than a few questions :) Once I started
writing my first few I just couldn't stop. But please anyone who
can answer these would be of great help to me in deciding if I
should invest any time into adobe flash.
Thanks for your time,
Evan

>>1.Can adobe flash use web services?
Yes
2.How does adobe flash handle the back button or bookmarks?
It doesn't, but you can use SWFAddress to do just that. Works
great.
3.Can adobe flash interact with javascript on a page? Like
call a
javascript
function and pass it XML as a parameter?
Yes.
4.How does adobe flash handle asychronous post backs?
All net calls are asynchronous - you can use
LoadVars.sendAndLoad or
remoting... I like AMFPHP for remoting.
5.Can flash interact with cookies or store information on
the users
computer
which the flash file can interact with?
Yes - you can use a server-side language like PHP to set
cookies directly,
or use Flash's built in cookie like feature: The Shared
Object
6.Can a adobe flash file be created dynamicaly on the
server, so the flash
file the user receives will be more tailored to them? Or is
the Flash file
just a static compiled file thats imported into the html? By
this I mean
can the information and images and menus the flash file will
display be
pulled from a database and dynamically generated per user?
Entire flash sites can be dynamic - it's what I do... I use
PHP / AMFPHP and
MySQL to build dynamic flash content.
7.I've read somewhere a while back that google was trying to
make flash
files serchabe so that they can be listed on googles search
engine. Is
this an easy implementation or can only professional flash
programmers
accomplish this?
Easy is a relative term... the best way right now is to use
SWFObject
(Google for swfobject seo) - essentially you build an html
site inside the
Flash's <div> so the spiders will see the alternate
content.
8.Whats the learning curve for learning adobe flash, if I
have many years
experience in programming web applications using html, css,
vb.net, and
javascript? Not just learning actionscript but also learning
how to use
Adobe flash to create full flash websites?
If you have experience programming the curve will be
smaller... but there
are lots of elements to absorb. And no matter what, you
always have more to
learn.

Starting out with a Cintiq in Adobe Flash - A series of frustratingly unfindable simple questions!

I'm completely new to the Flash IDE, but I have used my Cintiq 13HD with Photoshop in the past. Despite the tablet working well and drawing correctly, so far Flash feels very weird and almost unusable. I've spent hours looking online for answers to these simple questions, and I've found nothing. Please help answer any if you can!
1. Eraser brush size: I have the wacom pen set to brush, and the eraser set to eraser (fairly standard). I can adjust the pen's brush size in the toolbar, but the eraser is stuck at the smallest size! I have set the eraser tool to the max brush size, and when the pen is set to the eraser tool directly it is larger. How do I set the other side of the wacom pen to a larger brush size? And aren't there any keyboard shortcuts to increase/decrease brush size in Flash? (like [ and ] in Photoshop)
2. Brush zoom: The brush size changes when you zoom. People online say the brush size is constant, but this is just wrong. When you zoom to 200%, the brush should be twice as big as it is in 100% zoom. Is there any way to make Flash have this (normal) behavior?
3. Timeline wrapping: Can you make the "step forward one frame" and "step backward one frame" keys (comma and period) wrap the entire timeline, so stepping forward on the last frame goes to frame 1, and stepping backward on frame 1 goes to the last frame? This is crucial for me to animate loops well, and I can't find anything about it online or in preferences. Shift+comma and shift+period are okay workarounds, but they are not ideal, because I have comma and period mapped to buttons on the Cintiq. I need them to wrap!
4. Numerical Brush Thickness: Is there any way to specify a brush thickness with a number? Do I have to use the pen tool to get stroke thickness properties? At the very least, can I use a keyboard shortcut to specify size, instead of clicking on toolbars?
Honestly, I'm at the end of my rope here. I'm almost ready to drop Flash entirely and do this in Illustrator, then animate in Flash when I have everything drawn properly. Why is everything so different, and why can't I find any of these simple questions online?

The long and short of it is no you can't do most of the things you're looking to do as far as the brush is concerned. Flash has ALWAYS increased the brush size as you zoom in and decreased it when it's zoomed out. Why? No clue but it's always been so. You CAN increase the brush size by number though using the Properties box. The eraser is weird in Flash. so much so that I use the Lasso tool and select what I don't want and delete it. Since you're used to Illustrator you might not realize that selecting areas of a brush stroke will NOT select the entire stroke like in Illustrator. you can select only parts. You can also sort of allow for what you're calling timeline wrapping by installing a Command and mapping it to a custom key command. Just make sure there's a key frame at the end of the cycle.
Dropbox - Flash_Select_Next_and_Previous_Keyframes.zip
Also this might do sort of what you want too:
http://www.toonmonkey.com/frameJumper.fla
Finally, Flash is no different than it has ever been and you have to take into consideration that while Illustrator was developed by Adobe, Flash was developed by Macromedia and was then acquired by Adobe years later so you' can't really expect it to work the same. Personally I HATE Illustrator's interface and hate the way it works so I'd hate it if Flash worked like Illustrator!
Anyway, I hope this helps.

Adobe Flash crashes and other questions about Flash

There have been several instances of Adobe Flash crashes whether I am using Firefox, IE or Google Chrome browsers - and simply reloading the page corrects this BUT recurs again and again.
I'm running Windows 8.1 64bit in which the Flash program apparently comes embedded in the OS as a 32/64 bit hybrid. When I inspect the Flash version add-on in Firefox, and run an update check, Adobe reports, correctly, that my system is Windows 64bit , English, Firefox. Then, when I do the same in Windows Internet Explorer by checking the embedded version, I get a message that KB2999249 is available for download to correct Flash issues in IE. Since that install, Flash hasn't crashed in IE [yet].
So, my question is: How can I be certain that when Firefox reports that Flash is "up-to-date" that it is indeed a 64bit compatible version? Note that the Adobe download site only identifies one available version for Firefox, IE and Google - the current version being 15.0.0.152 file: NPSWF32_15_0_0_152.
Does the "32" part of the file name suggest that it is a 32bit application and, if so, where can I find NPSWF64_15_o_o_152 [if it exists]?
''edited the title of this thread to reflect the questions asked''

I now understand the version nuances between the browsers and thanks for the response. Now what, if anything, can I do to address the continuum of Flash crashes since I find it difficult to believe that I'm the only user experiencing this anomaly?

Firefox keeps asking me to install adobe flash, but it will not install unless one clicks the 'edit options' button which it says is on a toolbar, but it is not there

clicking the 'edit options button is in teh instructions for downloading adobe flash...firefox 3.6.10, windows XP desktop

Ignore those instructions. I find the easiest way to install Flash is to use the manual installers, for details see http://kb2.adobe.com/cps/191/tn_19166.html#main_ManualInstaller

I updated Adobe flash player and now i'm unable to open Opera and I have to use the power button to shut down the computer?

I updated Adobe flash player and now i'm unable to open Opera and I have to use the power button to shut the computer down.
How do you delete programs?
thanks

If Flash Player is indeed the problem I would suggest using the Adobe Uninstaller.
Have you tried using a different browser such as Chrome, Firefox or Safari to see if they have a problem with Flash?
