Can't add shape hint in Flash CS3, Windows.

I would like to add quite the number of shape hints, but the option is grayed out. Does anyone have any idea why?

I saw that it was an older post, but since I'd found a work-around, I might as well post the method I was using for posterity.
I found it very confusing that the "Add Shape Hint.." option is grayed out when a shape is selected. One would think that to add a shape hint to a shape, one would first click on the shape in question.
Why I have to click on the stage first is baffling; perhaps shape hints are bound not to a shape, but to the stage of a frame. Then they can be attached to any morphing shape on the stage in that frame. From that perspective I suppose it makes more sense.

  • How can I add a library of flash movies to my site?

    I posted this same question on the Dreamweaver forum and a suggestion was made that I try over here for help, so please excuse the duplicate question.
    How can I add a library of flash movies to my site?
    Hey there everyone and thanks for reading my question.
    I have a library of flash movies (specifically a library of maps) and when the map movies are run in Flash they call each other just fine (i.e. the USA map will load the Georgia map when Georgia is clicked on the USA map, etc etc etc for each state).
    HOWEVER, when I insert the USA map in one of my site pages (I'm working on the site using Dreamweaver CS4) the USA map page will load, but when a state is clicked the area on the page for the map goes blank and the state map does not load.
    Short of coding a specific path in each of my state maps (in the Flash editor) is there a way to tell Dreamweaver there is a library of maps, look there for the sub-map?
    and if I do have to code the path to the map, can I code a relative path rather than a specific URL address for the maps?
    I know this is probably one of those simple things, but I'm not seeing it (can you tell I'm new at this??)
    Thanks in advance for any help!
    Frances

    Hey again,
    Thanks for the helpful suggestions. Everyone's comments got me to thinking about what the path was in the calls from the maps.
    here is what finally worked:
    on (release)
    loadMovie("../FlashIMapDownloads/georgia.swf", 0);  
    this script code is in the action script for the "georgia" button of my main map - a US Map. (I hope I'm describing all this correctly).
    I'll post this same info in the Dreamweaver forum too.
    Thanks again!

  • Can i make Animations with Adobe Flash CS3 Professionals?

    can i make Animations with Adobe Flash CS3 Professionals? my
    goal is to make a Animation Serie But i got no Expereience!
    Is it any place i can learn how to use Adobe Flash CS3
    Professionals? Can i get a tutorial/training thing on
    www.adobe.com?

    Ha!
    Just scratch the surface by using the search functions on
    this site or google - thousands of
    websites that showcase flash animations since version 3 back
    in the late 90's - many websites have
    dedicated themselves to flash training and tutorials over the
    years.
    Basically, anything on the web that looks animated, right
    click over it and 9 times out of ten it
    will say "Flash".

  • How to add special characters in Flash CS3

    Hi, i need the help of some flash guru… these last weeks we were working with cloversites.com to build a community website… the interface is awesome etc etc however we in Malta have eight special characters (GCZ with a dot on top of them and an H with a second strikethrough). Those at cloversites wrestled with the problem, they could see the characters on their computers but when they entered the text in the site, flash couldn't render the special characters. Here is their message:
    I am extremely sorry about this, but we were unable to add in your characters. We attempted to add them into our software but they did not work. We worked on it all morning and realized that we need an extra add-on for our keyboards. Adding special characters is nothing new to us and have answered this request for many of our international users. For some reason, the Maltese characters did not work in our sites. For example, our "option-G" is the copyright symbol so it will need to be transferred over to international characters.
    Unfortunately, we thing that this has to do with Adobe Flash CS3. The software allowed me to embed the characters, but we were unable to render them on the web. Which led us to think it had to do with the version Adobe is running and its inability to render the text through its software on the web. None of the characters worked on the web, and it looks like its just an Adobe bug. So we are able to type and use the Maltese characters, but Adobe Flash is having trouble with them.
    Does anybody know of any possible solution?

  • How can I add my own dynamic flash to Apex Applcation?

    Hi all,
    Can I add my own flash to Apex applcation and enable the flash to communicate with my applcation using XML?
    I want to customise the action of my flash. The flash will get a xml from a PL/SQL procedure just as flash charts get xml from apex_util_flash.
    Is it possible to call a PL/SQL procedure or an apex application process from a flash?
    Is there another way of doing this?
    thanks

    I haven't tried any coding experience in flash , so my answer would be a bit vague.
    But I am basing my logic on this thread Calling PHP function from Flash (it says PHP but the code example involves a server request from flash)
    Set up an Application process that returns your XML (as the server response using ht.p)
    // object which sends to php
    var send_lv:LoadVars = new LoadVars();
    // object that receives
    var load_lv:LoadVars = new LoadVars();
    // the load_lv accepting variables
    load_lv.onLoad = function(success:Boolean)
        if(success)
                 //Do your thing here
                 //Parse the XML in flash using this valiable as the source
            else
                trace("load error goes here")
      $.ajax({
      type: "POST",
      url: "wwv_flow.show",
      data: {
      p_flow_id : $v('pFlowId'),
      p_instance : $v('pInstance'),
      p_flow_step_id : 1,
      p_request : ""
    //This section is based on the documented server request format using jQuery (given in comments above)
    // send_lv sending out variables and instructing the returned variables to go to load_lv
    send_lv.p_flow_id = <fetch page element value of pFlowId>  //corresponding to $v('pFlowId')
    send_lv.p_instance = <fetch page element value of pInstance>  //corresponding to $v('pInstance')
    send_lv.p_flow_step_id = <page number>
    send_lv.p_request  = 'ON Demand Application Process Name'
    send_lv.sendAndLoad("wwv_flow.show",load_lv,"POST");-------------------------------------------
    You might also be interested in this flash library named SWFHttpRequest Flash/Ajax Utility
    Apparently, it adds a JavaScript object for performing XMLHttpRequest-like requests fro flash.
    Hence you should be able to use you standard javascript like Ajax request using that.
    Else check for similar libraries for flash/give the server request section of your flash documentation a good read.
    You might have to play around a bit with the code and your flash documentation to get it working , but I hope this would have given you some pointers.

  • How can I add advertisement code into flash game?

    hi mates,
    just want to ask about loading advertisement code!
    How do you add the advertisement code (adsense) into flash games??
    my site Funny Games have over 5k games but they are getting from others sites thus I have no original files. How can I add more code into the current files?

    Unless the games were pre-made to allow you to specify some variables in the page code or some external file, you won't be having any luck... you cannot add code to the games unless you have the source files, which you apparently don't have.

  • Can I Install Air update for flash CS3 on a cracked Flash CS3 Copy

    hi
    I'm from jordan I tried to buy Flash CS3 from Adobe and they
    said they only sell to US and Canada,
    so I had a cracked version (got it from the internet).
    could I install the Air update for flash CS3 on it
    thanks

    1) I do not say that I'm from jordan to make you care or not,
    I just want to say why I use cracked copy because I can not buy a
    good copy from my country.
    2) I do not steal or crack software I'm a multimedia
    developer and I had to use flash cs3, and if you want to judge me,
    go and judge cracker who put cracked copies on the internet first
    (and by the way in my country that you do not care about it there
    is no cracker we use cracked copies your country do).
    3) This question was for adobe team and not for you.

  • Can you resize Video Skins in Flash CS3

    I am inserting a Flash Video into a file and trying to
    include the automatic skin from the import dialogue box. If I have
    a small video (say around 180 pixels wide), the skin juts out
    obtrusively off to the sides. Is there a way to manage the size of
    the skin?

    I don't know about about as3 versions but the as2 versions
    can have a minimum width which I think from memory is defined in
    the skin file itself.
    You could make your own skin by copying one of the existing
    skin flas and changing it to suit , including the line of code that
    specifies the minimum width.

  • Can you add actions to the Flash Media Player?

    I have 2 wmv files. One is the audio and one is the video. I
    don't own any software that combines both formats maintaining
    perfect video quality. If I import the video wmv file into Flash
    (converting it first with the Flash video encoder) is there any way
    I can create an action that plays and pauses a seperate audio track
    in the project file (when hitting the button in the Flash media
    player). ??
    Thanks

    look into the Sound class.

  • Can't Add Music to iTunes 64-Bit (Windows 7)

    I just bought a brand new Asus K52F laptop last week. It runs Windows 7 64-bit. I downloaded iTunes for Windows 64-bit version. It opens fine, I can access the iTunes store, and I can transfer my apps/purchased music from my iPod Touch. But when I try to add my MP3's into iTunes, the green status bar comes up showing that the songs are being added, but when it finishes, none of those MP3's show up. Also, since iTunes is my default audio player, I used to be able to click Play on a file, and iTunes would automatically open and start playing the song. When I do this now, iTunes still opens automatically, but doesn't play anything. Help!
    Edit: I also have CD's ripped onto the computer that won't add to iTunes. I have tried adding and playing music through another media player, and the files work fine.
    Message was edited by: RobT215

    Same for me.  I want to rip from CDs that I've bought and put them onto my iPod.  I don't want to have to pay twice!!
    I have two computers and apparently now my iPhone isn't linked to either (i assume because I've added music previously from both so what's on there doesn't match either) and i don't want to have to spend hours uploading CDs again onto one computer and sync my phone to just one.
    The drag and drop function was so good and I'm at a loss as to what to do now. 
    Can't we just have it back?!

  • Can't seem to install/run Flash in Windows 7

    I just got my new computer with Windows 7, 64 bit, and I've tried installing Flash numerous times. It indicates that it has installed properly, but then it doesn't work.  Every time I try to play something that requires Flash, it still says "You need Flash!"
    Soooooooooo...........help?

    Hi amalia85, I read where you installed or tried to install the beta version. You may have a mix of old Flash Player versions and beta, etc.
    If you would start your own thread and post your operating system, browser or browsers you use, then it would be easier
    to help you.
    It is always better to start at the beginning when you are having problems installing. If you have not had a successful Uninstall and Install, then looking for something that may not even be there won't help.
    At this point it is hard to say if the beta is installed or not. However if it is there a special Uninstaller is needed.
    You can pick any subject line you like when starting your thread, just keep your same screen name.
    Thanks,

  • Can't add folders from My Music in Windows to iTunes

    I am having issues importing my music into itunes. I recently reloaded itunes onto my computer - and rebuilt my library from "My music" folder in windows. Problem is, when itunes added my music to my library, it only added about half of my subfolders from my music folder in windows. I have tried resetting privacy settings, transferring file by file, and folder by folder. The files look exactly the same (the ones in my library in itunes and the ones that aren't) and I never got an error message - such as I'm running out of space, etc. Anyone know a solution?? Thanks so much.

    I am having a similar problem to this.
    I recently purchased a Nano 3g for our daughter. She had previously been using an all in one digital camera/camcorder with .mp3/.wma capability for listening to music and had been using Windows Media Player to sync the music.
    When I helped her set up iTunes it was obvious she needed some help cleaning up the id3 tags for organization and to get the proper album art. So I copied all of her music (317 .mp3 and .wma files ripped from CD using Windows Media Player) from her computer to a USB hard drive and then copied them to my computer. I set up a second iTunes library and added the files to the new library from the file menu (File/Add Folder To Library) in iTunes, converting the .wma files to .mp3 in the process. I have iTunes set up to copy music to the iTunes Music folder and keep it organized.  After eliminating the duplicates and poorly ripped files I ended up with 283 .mp3's, then used a combination of iTunes, Picard, beaTunes and the Internet to properly tag and get artwork for them. So tonight I finished cleaning them up and as a test run I copied the 283 cleaned-up and properly tagged .mp3's to the usb drive, deleted everything from my second iTunes Music folder, deleted the iTunes library .itl and .xml files and then copied the files back to my computer and used the Add Folder To Library function to copy the files to the iTunes Music folder again. First I tried to drag and drop the files from the USB drive into iTunes but that only transferred 11 files. Then I tried to use the Add Folder To Library function directly from the USB drive I only got about half the files to transfer. So I ended up using Windows Explorer to copy all the files from the USB drive the iTunes music folder and then use the Add Folder To Library function from there. After a couple of tries I have 18 mp3's that will not show up in the iTunes library or play in iTunes. I also tried to add them individually by using the Add File To Library menu selection, dragging and dropping, and Open with command in Windows Explorer with no luck. These files play just fine and display the proper id3 info (including artwork) in Windows Media Player and Winamp. The original (uncleaned) files are still on the USB drive and will play in iTunes so I guess I will have to reimport them and clean them up again to see if I can get them to transfer. Or possibly I will just clean them up on her computer.
    Any suggestions/comments would be appreciated. I will be sending in my laptop for warranty work sometime this month and as a precaution I will be wiping the hard drives before sending it in (they will most likely reformat before sending it back anyways) and I would prefer not to have this happen when I try to reload the 9000+ mp3's currently on it.
    I am using an Alienware area 51m 7700 – 3.4ghz P4, 1gb RAM, 2x 60gb HDD's in a RAID0 configuration , Windows XP Pro SP2, iTunes 7.4.3.1, and WD Passport 120gb USB drive, if that makes a difference. All drivers/software current/stable.
