Continuity of Flash files in series

I have a series of Flash files that need to play in series
and keep variables till next file loads, but the Flash files will
be on separate CDs. Is there a way to make a file wait till the
next one loads? Even if the file came from a CD which will need to
be switched out with the one with the next file?
Any suggestions you have will be appreciated.
Thanks,
Denise

Is there a way to import a flash file to an iphone so I could continue to listen to my course and view the power point presentation at the same time? i.e.file source from a DVD?

Got an iphone 4s and would like to know if there's a way to import files from a DVD source to my phone. I am able to transfer the audio files through iTunes. Is there a way to transfer the flash file that contains the animated slides. Is there an app that I could buy so I could view this on my iphone? Thanks!

No. You would have to convert it to a video format that your phone can handle, then sync it over and view the video. I'm sure there are ways to do this, but I don't have direct experience with them as I have no use for flash content.

MacBook Pro flashes file folder with question mark and startup manager will not run

My son's MacBook Pro won't boot (gets the flashing file folder with question mark). When I try to open startup manager (holding "option" key during boot does not do it). Other posts suggest inserting the install disk, but I am pretty sure that for Lion, there was no disk, it was just off the website through the App Store. Any further suggestions?

WinCE Projector does not display flash file properly

Hi,
I built a projector application for loading flash files on a
Windows CE 5.0 based embedded device. I am using Flash player 7 for
WinCE5.0. The projector was built using embedded VC++ for an ARM
processor.
The basic idea of this flash application is content delivery.
So, this projector loads a container flash file stored locally on
the device. This container flash file communicates with a remote
server(webserver or FMS) to retrieve content (flash files, audio,
video, images, text etc.). Right now, I am trying to load a series
of flash files from the remote server - one by one - like a series
of ads.
The problem is that, the series of flash files loaded does
not display properly inside the main container file. I am using a
loader component in the main container flash file. All the flash
files loaded must play full screen. But some files do not play
fullscreen. It automatically shrinks to a smaller random size. This
behaviour does not repeat. It occurs randomly for any of the series
of files I am trying to load in the container flash.
When i tested the application on the desktop, it works fine.
But on the device, the loaded flash files shrink automatically. Can
someone explain why this is happening? Is this problem usually
associated with flash player on embedded devices?
I am stuck with this problem for a long time. I tired
different methods to get around it, but could not succeed. So I
would really appreciate it, if anyone can throw some light on this
issue and preferably provide a solution?
Thank you,
Jothishankar

I am using Flash Professional CS6.
It lets me edit all the symbols and bitmaps, and key frames.
However, it just publishes as a SWF a bit incorrectly.

When I power up my Mac-Pro I only get a flashing file folder with a ? inside the folder. I suspect my hard drive is maxed to capacity can anyone help me as to what I should do?

Whatever the problem is you no longer have a bootable system. You need to try reinstalling OS X.

Embedding HTML inside Flash File

HI.
I would like to inquire on how to embed a HTML file insides a
Flash File.
This is the scenario, I have several HTML files, e.g. a.html,
b.html, c.html.
Where there would be a links inside that flash file, to open
a.html, b.html, and c.html (not a new browser).
How can I do this? Guides / Tutorials would help.
I am a bit a newbie in the world of Flash. Thank you in
advance.

Dynamic text fields do support some HTML formatting, but
it's important
to understand that at this time, the supported tags comprise
only a very
small subset of the full HTML specification. (Search the Help
panel for
"supported HTML tags," and you'll see which ones they are.)
As such, Flash
Player simply doesn't load HTML files.
What Flash Player does load is XML, so if your documents are
formatted
as XHTML (that is, technically XML), you'll have the
beginnings of something
you can use. Flash won't necessarily be able to display
elements it doesn't
understand (e.g. tables), but because the document is XML,
you'll be able to
parse those tags and extract information from them, using
what Flash *is*
capable of displaying.
I wrote a series at Community MX not long ago that makes
some
exploration into what you're after.

Cannot get into mac. I get a white screen and flashing file folder with question mark inside. What can I do?

2012/13 MacBook Pro froze up, so I did a hard shut down. Now, when I try to start up, it makes 3 unusual beeps, then I get a white screen. After a couple minutes, a flashing file folder with a question mark appears and remains. What is wrong and what can I do to fix it.

Three beeps usually means a RAM or RAM slots problem. The Question Mark means there is no bootable system found.
A flashing question mark or globe appears when you start your Mac
Question (?) Mark, Blinking Folder, or Gray Screen at Startup
These are related but not identical issues. Their causes are outlined in Intel-based Mac- Startup sequence and error codes, symbols. Solutions may be found in:
A flashing question mark or globe appears when you start your Mac
Mac OS X- Gray screen appears during startup
In most cases the problems may be caused by one or more of these:
a. Problem with the computer's PRAM - See Resetting your Mac's PRAM and NVRAM.
b. Boot drive's directory has been corrupted - Repair with Disk Utility.
c. Critical system files are damaged or deleted - Reinstall OS X.
d. The disk drive is physically non-functional - Replace the hard drive.

White screen with flashing file icon with question mark mean

What does this mean. We are getting a white screen with flashing file icon with question mark inside the file.

It almost certainly means it can't find a bootable volume (one with OS X on it).
Which means most likely you will have to find your original system installation DVD and install it. Then you should figure out what caused the problem.
Read this to diagnose it before resorting to reinstalling the OS:
http://support.apple.com/kb/TS1440
Excerpt:
Additional steps
If your Mac still starts to a flashing question mark, follow the steps below. If any step resolves the issue, you don't need to continue to the next one.
Select your Mac OS X startup disk with Startup Manager by restarting and holding the Option key. After your Mac starts up, restart again to verify that the flashing question mark does not appear.
If the issue persists, insert your Mac OS X installation disc. Be sure to either use the disc that came with your Mac, or, if you installed a later Mac OS X version from disc, use the newer disc.
MacBook Air note: On a MacBook Air, there are two options for starting up from Mac OS X media: Either connect a MacBook Air SuperDrive to the MacBook Air via the USB port and restart the computer, holding down the C key during startup, or use Remote Install Mac OS X to startup from a system software DVD that's located on a partner computer. Once started up from Mac OS X media, skip to step 3.
Restart the computer, then hold the C key during startup.
From the Utilities menu, choose Disk Utility. Don't click Continue.
Select your Mac OS X disk (named "Macintosh HD" by default) in the left side of the Disk Utility window.
Click the First Aid tab.
Click Repair Disk to verify and repair any issues with your Mac OS X startup disk.
After repairing the disk, try to start up normally.
Important: If Disk Utility finds issues it cannot repair, you may need to back up as much of your data as possible (or use Time Machine to back up to a different disk), then erase the disk and reinstall Mac OS X. You should back up important files and data before erasing a drive. Erasing deletes everything on the hard disk (including things on your desktop). Also, you can install Mac OS X onto an external disk, start from the external disk, and use Migration Assistant to transfer items from your usual internal Mac OS X startup disk to the external disk, then erase the internal disk and reinstall Mac OS X.
If the issue persists, and Disk Utility didn't find any irreparable issues, quit Disk Utility, quit the Installer, select your disk when prompted, and restart.
If the issue continues, reset PRAM. Note: After resetting PRAM, if the computer starts up normally, reselect the startup disk in the Startup Disk preferences.
If none of these steps resolve the issue, start up from the Mac OS X Installation disc and reinstall Mac OS X.

Flash file location in 6500 Core switch

Hi ,
Please guide me what is location of flash file in 6500 Series switch and how can we take back of IOS image for 6500 series.
Thank you

You're welcome.
People seldom backup the actual IOS image binary file since it is usually just as easy to pull a new copy from cisco.com.
The more useful file is the running-config. You can most easily get a one time copy of that by just setting terminal length to 0 ("term len 0"), turning on logging on your shell tool and then typing "show run". The log file will now have a local copy of your running-config. You can also copy it via the cli using tftp, ftp, scp etc. transport methods.
Many open source and commercial products also allow you to automate that whole process for many devices. RANCID, Kiwi CatTools, SolarWinds NCM, Cisco Prime LMS, etc. all do that (and much more).
Please rate helpful posts and mark your question as answered when it is.

Can I use a 2.0 script in a 3.0 script Flash file?

The following script is a simple photo gallery, written in Action Script 2.0. When I attempt to apply the same script in a Flash file designated as having Action Script 3.0, it does not work properly (the photos advance from frame to frame in a runaway fashion, in one continuous loop).
Is there some reason why a 2.0 script should not work in a 3.0-specified document?
Thanks, and here is the script:
stop();
btn_next.onRelease=function() {
    if (_root._currentframe==20) {
        gotoAndStop(1);
    else {
        nextFrame();
btn_prev.onRelease=function() {
    if (_root._currentframe==1) {
        gotoAndStop(20);
    else {
        prevFrame();

there's no easy way to convert most code. but that's almost the same in both as2 and as3:
stop();
btn_next.addEventListener(MouseEvent.CLICK,nextF);
function nextF() {
    if (MovieClip(root).currentFrame==20) {
        gotoAndStop(1);
    else {
        nextFrame();
btn_prev.addEventListener(MouseEvent.CLICK,prevF);
function prevF() {
    if (MovieClip(root).currentFrame==1) {
        gotoAndStop(20);
    else {
        prevFrame();

CE Flash files always start at the beginning?

I have had an online Continuing education course designed,
which has the main contents embedded into .asp pages.
The problem is that when customers "log-out", then return and
"log in" again whithout closing thier browser, the fllash file
always starts at the beginning, rather than where my database
indicates.
I "think" this is caused by the flashplayer plugin "keeping"
the flash file in memory, and starting the "movie" again at the
beginning? Thus if they close thier browser, deleting the flash
file from memory, and re-starting the browser again, and "logging
in" again, it functions correctly, beginning the flash file on the
correct page (which is indicated in the database)
If this IS what is happening, can this be corrected, so that
upon "Log out" the flash file will be automatically removed,
without the need to re-start the browser?

I believe this will work for you. Does for me. Go to SysPref/Speech/Text to Speech. Check box of: Speak selected text when the key is press. Set key. Open the pdf and highlight what you want to hear. Hit key you set. When it's done with it's spiel highlight more text and hit key. It auto erases previous highlight. You'll see. It's not very ideal, but it's what is dealt.

Need help placing Flash file in Captivate...

I have a few short animations I did in Flash that I want to put in Adobe Captivate. They place fine and play fine. But I wanted to know if it is possible to have the last frame of the animation show for the rest of the captivate slide. I'm using Captivate 6 and Flash Pro CS6. Thanks!

That depends mostly on what you did in the Flash file. You should ideally NOT fade out the animation at the end and it should terminate with a stop(); action inside the Flash file on its last frame. Have all of the animation on the main timeline in Flash so that it's not buried down inside a symbol, which would just continue to loop. Then in Captivate, don't use fade out there either.

Background Music continuously on Flash Page

Hi Everybody
I'm working on my first Flash page. So be patient with me pls! It's pretty much done and looks good but everytime I click crtl+enter to test the page it only plays the first couple seconds of the music over and over again! :/ Any ActionScript code for this???
I will insert this flash file into an html in dreamweaver. I need the music to go continuously even when I switch pages. The index page will have the flash file on it and it's gonna have 3 buttons what takes you to 3 different html pages (which will have my portfolio on). Is it possible for the music to play even on those pages too?
I know I had a loooooot of different questions at the same time. Can somebody give me some smart advices?
THANK U a lot!

import your sound file into your main fla and assign a linkage id (eg, soundID) by right clicking the library sound>click properties>tick export for actionscript>assign the name in the linkage id field and click ok>ok.
then attached to frame 1 of your fla, use:
var sound:Sound=new Sound(this);
sound.attachSound("soundID");
sound.start(0,999); //loops 999 times. use more, if needed.

Could not generate flash file.

Hi all,
Hoping you can assist!
I'm experiencing the error message when trying to export my dahsboard - "Could not generate the Flash file (SWF); the cause is not known".
Things to note:
*Only occurs when using multiple series on a combination chart (I.e. exports fine when only using a single data series, as soon as a add a second, it won't export.
*Doesn't occur when i copy/paste values over formula (suggests a formula related issue)
Has anyone experienced a similiar error message before? If so, what did you do to fix the problem.
Happy to provide the .XLF is required.
Cheers,
Chris

HI,
Yes, we've used several date formulas. I have remove the =today() however we still have quite a few day/month/year formulas. Still having the same issue.
The date formulas a required as the user needs to have the ability to adjust the data they are looking at by period (daily/monthly etc).
It seems to work okay when the number of cells the graph is reffering to are reduced (approx 20). I currently have it looking at 31 days of data which is a requirment.
And no add-ins are currently installed. This issue is repeated on 2 other pc's.
Any other ideas?
Thanks!

Battery Indicator continues to Flash at 99%

I have an HP Pavilion dv5237cl notebook computer. The notebook battery indicator continues to flash even though the battery charge percentage is 99%. Does anybody know why this is happening?

Ever since I installed Leopard a month ago the battery menu icon has been behaving oddly. When the battery is charged to 99% the icon switches to the "charged" icon from the "charging" icon. The power adapter still glows orange AND the time shown in the battery menu says "Calculating time until full", not even the time it had just a percentage ago. A screenshot is below:

This has to be the OS, not the battery because it never did this in Tiger. When I run on battery it gets the same 3 hours and 55 minutes it did under Tiger with normal use. Has anyone else seen this? Does anyone have any ideas why this is happening? Thanks, Alex.
Have you re-calibrated the battery?
Then there is PRAM
And of course, the .plist file
If it were Leopard, would I not have the same experience?
