Autorun CD Menu Using Flash CS3

I created a Flash file that I will use as a menu for an
autorun cd. I have CS3 and used AS 2 to create the files. If I test
the movie, it doesn't launch the files. If I publish it as a
projector file, I can launch the other files. After I burn the
files onto a cd, insert it into another computer and open the
projector file, it will not launch the files. Any thoughts on what
I am doing wrong? Any help would be greatly appreciated.
Thank you.

You need to check your paths.

Was using Flash 8 on a PC now using Flash CS3 on MAC X and having problems

Hello,
I'm currently creating a photo gallery displaying thumbnails
of the original main image.
I was using Flash 8 on a PC and now am using that same file
on a MAC OS X using Flash CS3. And now the thumbnails are not
visible. The main image appears but the thumbnails do not.
The SWF created with Flash 8 viewed properly but when I
opened the fla in Flash CS3 the thumbnails stopped appearing and
I'm not sure what to do?
Any help or suggestions would be greatly appreciated!
Thanks

Whoops, maybe I posted this in the wrong forum

Simple data inventory using flash cs3

is it possible to create very simple data inventory for
example for a library using flash cs3?
This is not for online purpose... the application contain a
form where users can enter data about the books like date returned
and so on..

you're welcome :)
1) that is correct. unfortunately, we can't 'write' to an xml
file from Flash, one needs to parse the data sent from Flash using
a server-side script such as php to perform the actual writing of
the file and store it to a directory location. so in this sense, it
may be 'easier' to use a local database and server (running on the
same machine) and use a intermediary 'helper' interface such as
amfphp.
2) Flash does contain several classes to work with xml data
internally, and is quite powerful in that regard. however, if you
opt to use a system like a DB and amfphp, it can use 'regular'
Flash objects to send and receive data and handles the conversion
automatically, so would ultimately be both simpler to implement and
very very fast. some basics on amfphp can be found here:

Use Flash CS3 component in Flex

As a bit of a n00b, this may be a stupid question...
If I were to get a component made for use with "Flash CS3",
once it's compiled to a swf & fla, is it entirely usable in
Flex [Builder] 3 ? Say I didn't want to re-skin it, and it was
fully programable via AS?
Is this a "it depends"? Is it a "absolutely, you just need
CS3 to compile it first"?
Thanks in advance,
AJ

I think you need to either use it as an as file or compile it
as a swc,
unless you want to load it into a swfloader.

Error when trying to use Flash CS3...

I just downloaded the Flash CS3 free trial from the Adobe
website. I installed everything and it installed fine.
After the install I try to open the program and an error
saying "License for this product has stopped working." Now I did a
search on the Adobe support site and found the page with supposed
fixes for this problem, but none of them work. I am using Windows
Vista Home Premium. When I go to the Administrator Controls panel
and go to Services I don't even see FLEXNet on the list.
I have tried uninstalling and reinstalling it multiple times
but the same thing happens every time.
Any advice?

How are you trying to update? and What exactly are you doing before you get this error?
If you downloaded the updater, it could be corrupt, so you should try downloading again.

Using Flash CS3 Within Authorware 7

I'm having trouble getting a Flash CS3 piece to work correctly.
I wrote a Flash program to print a completion certificate based on the data passed from Authorware. However when I try to run it from Authorware using the Flash Movie Sprite icon, the print dialog box comes up multiple times.
The variables are passed and everything works correctly except the print dialog box comes up 3 times.
Any thoughts on what could be causing this? I've attached the files.
How would I go about doing this using only Authorware?
Thanks
Mark

Hi Mark,
I think your problem may be the actual Flash file (or version of Flash you have used).
I have found Flash newer than the old v5 does not work well in AW. I think it has something to do with Action Script Version 2 and especially Version 3. AW has not been updated since AS1 came out. You might be able to save as an early version of flash (v5?).
I don’t think this will work because AS3 is completely different to AS1 & 2. AS3 is more a developers tool. Adobe need to update AW so it can take advantage of the new Flash functions.
If you can’t get it to work you might try this method of printing:-
On you AW CDROM:\Goodies\BrummellAssociates\PrintDemo and print this way.
From what I can remember it is confusing in that some of the measurements are set in inches and some in pixels (or something like that, I’m sure you will find out if you look).
Chris Brummell has a better version (for sale at £100!), they have a web site:
wwwDOTbrummell-associatesDOTcoDOTuk (please replace the “DOT” with a “.”)
This seems expensive to print a certificate but if you have enough customers.
I like your certificate though. Nice idea and good feed back.

How do you retain the mouseover state in a pop-up menu using Fireworks CS3?

I am working on a site right now using some javascript
pop-ups from FW. I would really prefer to use CSS but had many
headaches trying to get them working in IE6. Now the problem I have
with the FW pop-ups is that the original menu item does not retain
its mouse over state when moving to submenus and this is really the
effect I want. You can see the site I am working on here:
http://www.mackenziecauley.com/linda/profile.php
I noticed some articles in the adobe db related to this issue
with Fireworks MX but unfortunately it doesn't work in CS3. I am
also a complete newbie in javascript so any help would be great.
thanks!

Drat...I can only see three pages (and a bit) of posts
(why?!?!?!!!), so I can't go back and find an example. Murray
(*ACE*) has the answer, so I'm just trying to copy him from memory.
He once linked to this blog post, from the guy who worked on the
menus:
The
sordid tale of mm_menufw_menu.js
Also, check out his post in this thread:
Good
advice from Murray
Thanks, Google!
Fireworks is a graphics program. Don't let it write your code
for you.

Text doesn't show, scroll bar does? using Flash CS3 Please help!

A little background: I made text box, typed some text, converted it to a movie clip, named etc. Used a purchased and proven scroller component ... followed directions to the letter, including referencing/linking the files. However, when I tried to test the scroll bar .... the scroll bar appears, scrolls and works perfectly except the text does not appear. I have tried making a scroll bar with the UIscrollbar same thing happens. I made an other attempt and put pics along with the text in the movie clip ... this time the pics appeared and scrolled, but the text still would not appear. PLEASE HELP. I am on a deadline and can't get past this scroll bar issue. THANK YOU!

Hi
Thanks for the tip. I did embed the text, but still not showing. Currently, I have the text box set to the following: Dynamic Text, Multiline, Border Around text, Anti-Alias for Animation (but I have tried all choices and embed the text each time).
Here are the original instructions with the FTscrollbar which I followed exactly.
1. Drag the component (FTscrollbar) from the components panel to the stage.
2. Create a new movie clip to be scrolled:
     a. create a textfield on the scene and type in a few lines of text
     b. select the text fields and covert them to a move clip symbol having the registration point top left. (I did top right since my scroll bar is on the right).
     c. give the new movie clip an name in properties panel.
3.Select the component of the stage and configure its parameters in the parameters panel or component inspector panel.
     a. Instruc the component to scroll the new created movie clip as the targetMovieClip
     b. Set the viewAreaHeight and viewAreaWidth
     c. set snapMode to snapToView value
     d. leave rest of parameters unchanged unless you want to adjust.
4. Test Movie (contol/test movie)
On the FTscrollbar, I have the targetMovieClip set to the movieclips name the only other parameters the instructions said to change were veiwAreaHeight=100 veiwAreaWidth=150 which were the defaults. When I change this numbers the scroll bar goes away and the text still doesn't appear? The scroll bar is 16 x 140, the text box to be scrolled is 130 x 143 and the entire flash page is 500 x 550. I am not sure what the viewAreaHeight and viewAreaWidth are for ... or if that could be the problem? I have never had problems with scrollers but I used MX. I just recently purchased the CS3 and I am not sure what I am not selecting or not selecting but if feel it's probably something simple I am overlooking. So any more ideas are MOST APPRECIATED. If you need more info from me to help solve, please feel free to ask. THANKS!

How to align Flash web to center using Flash CS3?

Hi, anyone have the same issue as me? I wanted to align my
flash web to center on the IE. I have selected the alignment to
center before publish on the web? Why is the command not useful or
working? Please advice!

hi,
the center issue you used is center the Flash in the player
area. But to center the page in the web page, you need to center ti
from the HTML. you can dd the Flash code inside the div center code
<div align="center"> flash content </div>

Cropping using Flash CS3 Video Encoder

Hi all, I am trying to work around a problem and wonder if I
can solve it using the Flash Video Encoder. I need to resize and
crop at the same time. My end video needs to be 400 wide and 300
high and my source footage is 720 x 480. If I maintain the aspect
ratio my two options are 450 x 300 or 400 x 286 - so I need to add
14 pixels to the height or crop 25 pixels off each side of the
width.
I don't think I would be able to add the 14 or so pixels to
the height of the video in the video encoder (I just need them to
be black areas like letterbox and 16:9-like) - but this would be
ideal. But it does seem like I should be able to crop 25 pixels off
each side using the crop tool. I have been setting the file size to
450 x 300 and I have been entering 25 on the right and left side of
the video in crop in the crop and resize panel. This should
theoretically cut off 25 pixels on the right and left size leaving
me with the file size of 300 x 400.
Anyone have any suggestions? I might need to bring this into
another tool like Final Cut or something to achieve this but I am
trying to avoid encoding multiple times.
Thanks!!
Joe

Thanks for your help!
It works perfect with so many formats, the only problem is
that I can not add ".wmv" files. Is there any way to do it?
Thanks again!

Simple image pan using Flash CS3

I need help panning a long jpeg image resting on the bottom layer of my first Flash project.
I simply need to pan the image from right to left in a continuous loop, which I'm sure is a simple thing to program, yet I can't seem to locate instructions or a tutorial that explains it.
Can anyone help?

Insert Flash Video using Dreamweaver CS3

Hello,
If I were to import an FLV into Flash CS3, I would have the
ability to add text or images to the movie as needed. However, I am
testing Dreamweaver's ability to insert a Flash video directly onto
a web page, without the use of Flash CS3. I'm using Progressive
Download with the "Halo Skin 3" component. My question is: can the
Flash Video component inserted by Dreamweaver CS3 be edited somehow
using Flash CS3? I would be attempting to add text to the first
frame of the movie.
Thanks.

Flash CS3 will not launch

After years of using Flash CS3 on our Windows 7 computer, it would not launch. So we did a system recovery -(everted to factory image), re-installed Windows and updates, installed Flash CS3, then successfully did the license verification. But Flash CS3 will not launch.
We copied the Flash Icon from the Start Menu to the TaskBar. This is the icon we clicked on to do license verification, but now we can't use it to launch Flash CS3.
Thanks for any ideas.
Computer specs:

AMD Phenom™ II Processor

Model: HPE-210y
Window 7 with Service Pack 1; all updates applied as of 10/26/2014
(I realize Flash CS3 is not meant to work on Win 7, but it has for years on this computer and on a Toshiba laptop, also with AMD processor)

Well I decided to reinstall OSX to see if that would help,
and that seemed to fix it. I'm still not sure what the problem was,
but a fresh install seemes to have fixed it :]
