Can Flash MX 2004 handle Director files (.dir)

Hi,
Can Flash handle Director movies? I am making a presentation
of my artworks in Flash environment; I have both Flash and Director
movies. I know that I can import all my swf movies into Director
MX2004 to create a standalone projector and play both swf and dir
movies in Director MX 2004. Does the same work if I import dir
files into Flash MX 2004 Pro?
Thanks
Uti

Hi Uttam,
If you need Director movies to be integrated with Flash
movies, there is only one
way, use Director. If you don't have Director, then you won't
be able to use the
Director movies. So, either, recreate the Director movies in
Flash (if it's
possible), or better yet, get Director

Flash MX 2004 Sample *.fla files

I'm just learning flash using Flash MX pro 2004. The Flash
"help" refers to sample files such as "document_start.fla" Where
can I download these samples from?

After including 'hidden and system" files in my search, I was
able to locate the *.fla sample tutorial files for MX 2004 on my
computer.

Can flash send me a .PDF file of what a user created?

Hey,
Is it possible for my published flash site on the internet to send me a .PDF file of a character that a user has made on my flash site?
I can't seem to find an answer anywhere.
Thanks in advance

Shoot me a PM with your e-mail address & I’ll zip up a copy for you.

Can Premiere Pro CC handle AVI files with multiple audio streams?

I have an AVI file with two audio streams and I am wondering if there's any way to access the second stream in PP? So far I can only get the first stream to play. I know I can extract the second stream in for instance VirtualDub, but it would be nice to not have to do that in the interest of an effective workflow.

Hello again Jim! Thank you for your reply, you seem to be working hard here on the forums! The info I have found from 2011 suggested that it wasn't possible then, but I was hoping maybe they added this feature.

Adobe Air + Box2D.swc = TypeError: Error #1009 // New way to handle .swc files in Flash for iOS Apps?

Hi,
I need your help please - I have to update one of my iOS Apps. In this App I use Box2d for a simple maze game (it's an app for kids). When I publish & test this game on my Mac it works fine. I can drag my Hero (fish) through this Maze and all collision detections, gravity etc. work perfect.
When I test it on my iPad it doesn't work. The device debugger shows this error message:
TypeError: Error #1009: Cannot access a property or method of a null object reference.
at global$init()
at global$init()

at misc::Entity/handleAddedToStage()
Line 31: loader = new CLibInit();
I guess "CLibInit" should come from the .swc file.
The thing is:
I didn't change anything in this maze game - it seems this has to do something with the new Flash and/or Adobe Air version. Box2D.swc file is included:
It always worked like this - and it works when testing it on my Mac - but it is no longer working on my current system.
So I started my Mac from an older system (10.9.5 on an external HD) and published the App from Flash CS6 and Adobe Air 13.0 - then it suddenly worked on my iPad as before. I was able to tap an the fish and drag it arround.
The same project / app published from my current OS X 10.10 + Flash CC 2014 + Adobe Air 15.0.0.302 is not working. I always receive this Error Message - I can not drag the fish - nothing happens. And I have no idea why this happens and what else I could do. I searched the whole day for a solution but didn't find anything.
So did anything change by the way Flash and/or Air handles .swc files? Is there an other way to include: import cmodule.Box2D.* / CLibInit ?
Please - if anyone has a clue - please let me know!!
Best regards
Jan

Update:
There is also an Android Version of this App. I just published and tested a new version of it on my kindle fire & Samsung Galaxy Tab 2. On both Tablets the maze works perfect. I'm able to drag the fish around etc.
Then I published this Android Version for iOS and tested it on my iPad. Again I'm getting the Error message:
TypeError: Error #1009: Cannot access a property or method of a null object reference.

at misc::Entity/handleAddedToStage
...and the fish is stuck - I can't drag it - nothing happens. So this error only occurs when I publish the App for iOS - as an .ipa. Did anything change in the way Air handles .swc files?
I'm totally confused
If anybody has an idea what I could try - PLEASE LET ME KNOW!!

Trouble opening Flash MX 2004 files in CS3

Has anyone encountered any problems trying to open orignal
.fla files created in Flash MX 2004 in the CS3 version? I get an
error stating "unexpected file format".

I tried opening your test file in my version of CS3 and it
shut it down completely - CS3 quit
unexpectedly. Rare for me as I have been using/testing CS3
for months and not seen this issue - i
suspect the file is corrupt in some way but then again it
would open in flash 8 - can you save as
from flash 8 with a new name and upload again?

How can I transfer my edited RAW files to a flash drive?

I have 30 RAW files (NEF) from a holiday party that I have edited, and would like to give to a friend for further editing. We both work on Macs. I selected the 30 photos in Bridge, went to "Copy to" and selected the flash drive. The raw files along with their xmp files show up. But unfortunately when I bring up the files on the flash drive using the "View as Cover Flow" option in Preview, they show up in the original RAW form - as if I'd just downloaded them off my camera again - without edits.
Many people have mentioned exporting and DNG conversion. With regard to the first: when I select photos, right click, and go to "export to" my only option is "hard drive". Once I select that, nothing appears to happen. No new folders or files seem to appear in my hard drive. With regard to the second: I am nervous about losing information via the DNG conversion. I want to make sure my friend has all the information pertaining to each photo in the event that she needs to do a more significant round of second edits.
How can I achieve this transfer? Also, should the fact that my friend plans on using Lightroom for edits bear any significance on my decisions? Thank you...

The Save as DNG is not in Bridge, It is only available in Camera Raw.
Open your file in ACR, at the lower left click the SAVE IMAGE button. From there you can select several different formats.
Select DNG and adjust the options. You can also embed the original raw file inside the DNG (but gives larger file size)
It's not clear if you are opening the files directly from the flash drive or saving them first to the hard drive.
I would recommend always saving files to the hard drive, eject the flash drive, and then open from there rather than directly from flash drive
We've all had flash drives that go bad or act wonky.
Not trying to work on the files while they still reside on the flash drive is just one less problem to worry about.
Good Luck

How can I transfer a big .pdf file e.g. 9 MB from my Macintosh Performa 5200 and its OS 8.1 to an USB-flash drive?

How can I transfer a big .pdf file e.g. 9 MB from my Macintosh Performa 5200 and its OS 8.1 to an USB flash drive? E.g. is there any adapter available in order to connect the SCSI with USB? Or is it better to use a compression software and transfer it to 10 3,5" floppy discs?
Thank you
Emanuel

Hello Emanuel,
The Performa 5200CD did not have built-in Ethernet as standard, so unless an Ethernet card (or an external SCSI or LocalTalk-to-Ethernet adapter) has been added, that method would not be available in this case.
Your suggestion involving compression software (such as an appropriate version of StuffIt) with segmenting capabilities could of course be one alternative.
If you have an internal or external modem for the Performa, another way could be to use the telephone lines for transfers. A communications program would have to be used on both sides (for example, ZTerm or the communications section of ClarisWorks on the Performa).
It is even possible to connect two serial modems directly. A simple line simulator (in principle, a 9 V battery in series with a 680 ohm resistor in one of the leads in an RJ-11 to RJ-11 cable), which can be built in a couple of minutes, is sometimes needed. Do NOT use a line simulator for units connected to the public telephone network.
Yet another solution could be a null-modem transfer to a PC with a (DB-9M) serial port. This would require a null-modem cable (can be designed by combining a Macintosh modem cable (MiniDIN-8M to DB-25M) with a normal PC-style (DB-25F to DB-9F) null-modem cable . HyperTerminal or another communications program can be used on the PC.
What do you have to work with (other computers/models/platforms)? Is this a one-time transfer, or do you plan to send additional files later? Is the intention to continue to use the Performa 5200?

Can't Find File/Dir info Error 3 :: 30 and (-43)

Please help me with this issue. There's very little previous mention anywhere about this sort of problem.
I'm trying to open an After Effects file that I haven't opened in a while, and the footage I used in the project has since been deleted. When I click it to open it it gives me the message:
After Effects Error: finding file/dir info for file "C://user// yada yada yada....Segment2.aep" file not found (-43)
3 :: 30
All my plugins are still intact and I've tried everything mentioned on the one other thread about 3::30 (which only contained one suggestion).
I really need to access this file as I did a lot of work in there that I can use again and save days of work, even though the footage the file used is gone.
Thank you in advance!
-Raphi

Oh, well it looked from your initial description that you had possibly imported an After Effects project into another After Effects project.
That being said, you may want to try the very same thing to see if you can salvage you seemingly corrupt project file. Try to create a brand new After Effects project, and import the file that you're trying to open (Segment2.aep) into the new project. If the file isn't corrupted, it should import.
Aside from that, if you have a backup of your old project, I'd suggest trying to restore it.

Can't get flash buttons to work...'Cannot find path' Flash MX 2004

I am trying to get the flash buttons for my website to work, but every time I do the getURL thing it keeps saying 'Cannot find (directory)'. The website is offline and I'm using Macromedia Flash MX 2004, I also might be able to use Flash 8 but these are the only two versions I have access to.
The action script for the button is:
on(release){
getURL("..\****\****\(Website directory)\(sub directory)\(Website page).html")
I am making the website in Dreamweaver 8 and this is really holding me back as it's nearly finished but the buttons still don't work.
Thanks in advance.

Hi,
Sorry I should have mentioned tha. The structure is as follows:
Website name\
                     \Animations
                     \Audio
                     \Buttons
                     \Images
                     \Scripts
                     \Templates
                     \Videos
The buttons are contained in the buttons folder and the page I want to link it to is in the templates folder. I have tried putting the button flash file in the website root directory and trying that but it didn't work.
Hope this helps.
Thanks in advance.

Nobody can tell you anything without proper system info or other technical details. You're talking about a legacy product, anyway, so I'm not sure what you are trying to do.

How can we make JFileChooser select Directories along with files

hi,
i need to provide a functionality in a program that user can select one or multiple directories (ideally a combination of directories and files both) through file chooser. can't figure out how to achieve that. there must be some way of doing it.
can anyone suggest something?
regards,
anshu

i guess i have found the answer. i can set the file chooser's file selection mode property to achieve the same
fileChooser.setFileSelectionMode(JFileChooser.FILES_AND_DIRECTORIES);but if you have any custom filters also set, it just crashes the VM.
but still i have a problem, if you type name of a network path (instead of choosing the directory view), file chooser can't resolve it. any ideas???
regards,
Anshu
