Brand New To Flash

Hi:
I have just installed flash and have worked throught the
first tutorial. Everything went fine until I got to the
ActionScript part. It seems overwhelming. I just want to do simple
things like have a slide show play a series of still images when my
site is accessed. I guess my question would be, can I just copy
scripts from somewhere to do basic things like this slideshow or do
I have to really learn to write script. If someone could briefly
explain how this all works I would be very grateful.
Thanks,
Rex

Most of us learn by studying other people's scripts. If you
copy another person's script and then modify it, you're learning by
it. It's up to your own standards of ethics whether you would use
such a modified script in your website. Though you'll find lots and
lots of scripts that people willingly share at places like
flashkit.com and actionscript.org.
ActionScript does seem overwhelming at first. It certainly
did for me. I got over that by following some simple tutorials in a
few basic "Teach-Yourself-Flash" books such as the Visual
Quickstart Guide. Then I read Colin Moock's "ActionScript For Flash
MX: The Definitive Guide", which is by far the best book for
learning ActionScript theory and syntax. Though you might want to
wait on that and just have fun playing with AS.

Brand new imac flash player keeps freezing in webchat sites

hello;-) to start, i did read some other posts on this subject however i wasnt sure if it would be the same for me as i am running a mac, and the responses i saw were for pc's. my problem is that my camera will freeze up in some sites that require a flash cam and in others it does not. the sites that it does freeze in, i used to be able to acces using my cam. i get to the point where the adobe box pops up askin if i will allow the site access to my cam, and from there im stuck!!! sometimes the whole page freezes, sometimes the background remains active but the adobe box is stuck, wont respond, wont acces the cam-and i have to reload the page anyways. once the adobe box pops up, if i right-click the mouse and go to settings, the adobe box has options to "always allow or deny" whatever site i am on, lets say chatroullete, and it has already selected deny (though i never told it to) and since its frozen (despite the fact it let me view this new 'page') i still cant change it to allow. why is it workin in some sites and not others? and why has it stopped working in sites it previously worked in? why is the little adobe box frozen yet active in those sites, i can see dif pg's of the adobe box but not modify settings?i figure if it was completly frozen it wouldnt even let me view the settings pg of the adobe box... my imac is less than two months old, running osx , and i use firefox....any help would be appreciated as i worry the problem will just get worse untill i cant use my cam online!!!;-(((( booohooo!

Hi, here is the link for Global Settings. I'd read and apply any settings you want from there instead of individual websites.

Sometimes the websites themselves are having problems. If they have a FAQ section or system requirements, you may want to refer to them also.

Motion tween destroying background. New to flash. Please help!

Im brand new to flash and trying to do a motion tween on a graphic symbol but for some reason when I do this it changes my background and covers up my other background drawings. Does anyone know what I am doing wrong or how to avoid affecting the background while doing a tween?

Yes, thank you for replying. I made a country scene with hills, a sky, and some other things. I drew a cloud in the sky. I turned the cloud into a graphic object, then tried to motion tween the cloud. When I do so, it works it just changes the whole background to green, the stage background color.

Brand new iMac 27" i3 is flashing blue screen

My brand new Imac (one-day old) is acting very odd as it slowly flashes a pulsating light blue screen when I try to access Apple Menu (restart/sleep/shutdown) features. No matter what I do it will not turn off. I have since had to do a hard shutdown but now it stops at an error screen upon start-up that tells me to restart!
I am Mac savvy and this has never happened to me. Prior to this happening, I called Apple Tech Support because I could not use their Mac Migration feature to move my info off of a G4 running 10.4.11. Tech support could not help either as wireless, ethernet and direct Firewire attempts yielded no Migration results. I finally had to pull the hard drive out of the G4 and hooked it up to the new iMac. Everything seemed to transfer except when it was done the contents of what I just copied thru Migration was nowhere to be found. That is when I started experiencing the slow-flash blue screen phenom and is where I am stuck today.
I am ready to take this thing back. In all my years I have never had a problem like this with an Apple product. Any help or insight will be appreciated.

ONE
Paul has given you good advice in that I would reinstall the OS from the supplied disks to get your computer working properly.
TWO
Then re-install your old programs (only those you really need since they are likely PowerPC, not “universal” Intel programs) from their original disks.
THREE
If you have the user data from the old drive backed up, then hopefully you can restore your user data to the new drive or buy an enclosure and access the old data as needed (which is what I did when originally migrating from a Power Mac G5 to the iMac (late 2009).
Alternatively, if step ONE is problematic and your machine is defective, you can likely return it to Apple within 14 days (or whatever the law is in your country) for a replacement or refund and purchase a new iMac just released today. Steps TWO and THREE still apply in this case.

Can the flash storage hard drives in the brand new 15inch Macbook Pro Retina Display laptops (10.22.13) be upgraded/replaced in the future?

Can the flash storage hard drives in the brand new Macbook Pro Retina Display laptops that were just released a few days ago (10.22.13) be upgraded/replaced in the future? I will need more than the basic 256GB for sample libraries using music software, among other things, but currently larger flash drives from Apple are too expensive. I ask because I'm in the process of buying one of the new 15inch Macbook Pro Retina Display laptops right now (or at least right after I get an answer to this question).
I saw in the Mac store when I started looking at the build options for ordering the Macbook Pro that under Memory it said the memory was built into the computer and therefore could not ever be replaced or upgraded in the future. So I was wondering if something similiar might be the case with the flash storage drives even though the same wasn't written under the hard drive options? If these flash drives can be replaced in the future then I would just purchase the starting 256GB drive and suffer through using connected external hard drives, as unwieldy as that would be, until there were potential replacement flash drives with larger storage capacties available on the market or through Apple for more reasonable prices. But if the hard drives in these laptops can't be replaced/upgraded I would go for the 500GB drive option (even though paying an additional $300, before taxes, for just 244GBs more storage space is absolutely outrageous no matter how great flash drives are with their read/write speeds, no moving parts to break, and lighter weight/thinner builds allowing for an overall thinner laptop). I would even go for the larger 1TB option, which is really what I need, except that costs an additional $700 which is more than enough to buy me a new 50inch, HD, flatscreen TV from a reputable brand if I were so inclined! (And yes, I understand the youth of the technology, current limits to flash drive capacities, and the reason for the high prices. I know I'm not getting bilked...)
So yeah, does anybody have an answer to this question? Can the flash hard drives in the new Macbook Pro Retina Display laptops, just released, be upgraded/replaced in the future? Any answers are greatly appreciated and will save me some much needed cash on my purchase of one of these laptops! And I should also ask, if so, can they be replaced by the laptop owner with the normal toolset through the normal, easily done methods of hard drive replacement in laptops that has been common, or would I have to bring the laptop to a Apple technician?
Thanks everybody!

The modules are proprietary. They are installed in a slot secured with a tiny screw.
macsales.com has been working on providing aftermarket modules for the older models that were on the SATA Bus.
These newer ones are likley directly on the PCIe Bus. That will take some time to develop.

Ive had my ipod just over a year now and its deciding to play up and wipe the whole thing so its like brand new untill i sync it with itunes again, but this time it wont seem to restor the ipod just flashes white and then comes as before, Help?

As i said abouve,

If you've had it for less than a year, then it's still under warranty. Take it to an Apple store or an authorized service facility. See http://support.apple.com/kb/HT1434

I have just opened my brand new Macbook Pro and I'm a first time mac user. I have tried to download flash to enable me to watch you tube clips, but on trying to download it, it says I need to close Safari but after doing so, it still won't respond.

Actually you need to quit Safari which is different from closing. With Safari open go the menu bar for Safari/Quit Safari.

X1C: Imaging a brand new X1C -- how best to? via Acronis? USB 3.0 or USB 2.0 flash drive?

For a brand new X1C, may i ask what some pointers are might be relevant to imaging?
apparently, USB 3.0 flash drives will not work due both to Windows 7 as well as Acronis not recognizing USB 3.0 for a boot up drive (as USB 3.0 post dates Windows 7 and Acronis).
have y'all been successful with a 32gb USB 2.0 flash drive? any particular brand?
also: how much of your 32gb flash drive was consumed with a brand new image of the X1C please?
Thanks very much in advance.

Hi dualmonitors,
It's a good question, but I removed the duplicate posts. Please don't post the same question in multiple places, and don't hijack others' threads.

I can't install Adobe Flash on my brand new macbook.

I just got my macbook pro today, and I've been trying to install Adobe Flash using Safari. Each time I download it, it says the download is completed. But then I go to sites like youtube and they tell me that I don't have Adobe Flash installed. All the settings on this mac are default, so the Safari preferences has plug-ins, java, etc. enabled. Help?

I have the exact same problem on my brand new MacBook Air. I've downloaded Adobe Flash Player several times by now, but each time I get the 'Download succeeded' screen and I try to watch a Youtube video, it says I need to download Flash Player.
Anyone who can help us?
I've tried all of the problem solving tips.

I can't watch YouTube videos on my brand new MacBook Pro with Lion. It says I need to download Adobe Flash Player but that won't install. Help!

I can't watch YouTube videos on my brand new MacBook Pro with Lion. It says I need to download Adobe Flash Player but that won't install. Help!

The same thing happens to me, Safari asks me to update the Adobe FlasPlayer, I download, start the installation process, ask me my username and password in order to install, then see a window where I choose if I want to always install the updates , or ask first, or not inslate updates, and at this point it is not progress, I can not cancel the process, I turn off and turn on my machine.
What can I do ..??
Regards.

Brand new PC laptop but Flash keeps crashing on 2 different browsers. Help!

Hello! Flash keeps crashing on my brand new PC laptop. It has crashed on both Chrome and Firefox. I have updated everything I can think of on this PC, including drivers. I have made sure flash is up to date and the browsers I just recently installed seeing as this is a new PC so they are up to date as well. I disabled hardware acceleration about 5 mins ago, I am desperate at this point. Anyone have any idea what could be causing these crashes? Oh, and I have Windows 7 OS, if that gives any insight to anything. Thanks!

Brand new Mac Mini Screen Flash

So I bought a brand new 500gb Mac Mini today hoping to use it with my HP monitor. I haven't got a keyboard yet but just plugged it in (using HDMI) to see if it is working and was presented with the mac setup flashing on the screen every second or so. I then plugged it into a TV and everything was working fine. The monitor works fine with any laptop and my Xbox 360 so this is very confusing. Is the Ipad Mini not compatible with certain monitors? My monitor is an HP w2207h. Please help this is very frustrating!
