Thanks.

While the Note 4 is a reasonably large device it still falls into the phone layout bucket. We need this layout to function on very small screens some as low as 320 pixels high and 240 pixels wide. These sorts of devices don't have the space for a full toolbar.

Error in creating XML photo gallery with Flash CS4 and AS 3.0

Hello, all. I've been creating an XML photo gallery with Flash CS4 and AS 3.0 following a tutorial. I followed the instructions step-by-step but at the end I got the following error message instead:
Error #2044: Unhandled IOErrorEvent:. text=Error #2035: URL Not Found.
Could anyone in the community assist me as to how to solve the problem? The script has no errors and last time I checked all the applicable files (the .xml file, the .jpg files, the .swf and the .fla file) are in my Documents folder on the Mac.
Looking forward to your suggestions!

Check the folder structure
Flash is not able to get some file thats why the IO Error.
trace the url path just before u load the file and u will be abel to find whether that file is in specified folder or not.

Can't create a transition effect in flash cs4

Does anyone know the actionscript code for a transition? Or how to put one in. I have 2 frames with a picture on each frame set at 1 frame per second intervals.
Thanks!,

You might be better served if you post your question in the Flash forum; this is the Flash Player forum.

Trying to create Large Play button on Flash CS4

Hello,
I am trying to create the following: (using someone elses post from another board)
"I am wondering if there is a way to hide the FLVPlayback skin until a certain event happens. Let me explain.
I have an instance of the flvplayback component in my movie. I have the player skin set to "autohide" and "autoplay" set to false. Instead of having users click on the play button of the skin to start the movie I have incorporated a larger play button in the middle of the screen. The set back here is that when a user mouses over the movie to click on the larger play button the flvplayback skin appears as well.
I'd like to basically tell the skin "Hey don't appear on mouseover until AFTER the large play button is pressed." What code would I need for this in Actionscript 3?"
I am curious if someone can teach how to embed a regular .swf movie file into the
"example" code, which was also posted here
(http://www.kirupa.com/forum/showthread.php?t=323702)
I have very limited coding skills and very much appreciate the assistance.

You are looking for the visible property I believe.
At the beginning of your code, set:
myFLVPlayer._visible = false;
to set it invisible (replacing "myFLVPlayer" with your components name ocourse)
Then, onRelease of your button, set:
myFLVPlayer._visible = true;
to make it visible again.
EDIT
I just looked at your code in the other forum, and here is your onRelease function fixed:
video_mc.video._visible = false;
video_mc.bigButton_mc.onRelease = function(){
video_mc.bigButton_mc._visible = false;
video_mc.video._visible = true;
video_mc.video.play();

Error while loading a swf created in flash cs4, inside a flex application

I am trying to create interactive floor plans for my website Is it possible to do this in Flash CS4?

Is it possible to create interactive floor plans in flash CS4? Are there any tutorials out there to do this?

I don't see why not. Just create the elements you want to move around as MovieClips or swf's, add event listeners to these items listening for MouseEvent.MOUSE_DOWN, drag and MouseEvent.MOUSE_UP, drop.   writh the drag and drop functions and you're set.
function drag(e:MouseEvent):void {
     itemx.removeEventListener(MouseEvent.MOUSE_DOWN, drag);
     e.eurrentTarget.startDrag();
function drop(e:MouseEvent):void {
     itemx.removeEventListener(MouseEvent.MOUSE_UP, drop);
      e.eurrentTarget.stopDrag();

Preset effects in Flash CS4

Hello
A while ago I made a created a basic effect in Flash CS4 whereby a selection of logos on my web-page gradually disappeared (in the same spot, not shrinking in size first or any other of the effects displayed in the motion presets).
I think this was done by some kind of preset but it doesn't seem to be in the motion presets panel. I can not seem to remember how it was done and I can't find the relevant settings. I don't know ActionScript so it was definitely a preset.
Enclosed are some screen shots of the effect that I mean (stages every few seconds until they completely disappear).
If somebody could remind me how this effect is applied again that would be great! Thanks.

Could this be a tween on the alpha value of the image from 1 to 0 (by any chance )?
Hope this helps

Flash CS4 loader class content not displaying in browser

Hello,
I'm very new at Dreamweaver and actionscript so any help would be greatly appreciated!
I'm on a PC and created a simple gallery in flash cs4 to load images on a button click. The images are being loaded with a loader class. When I test the gallery in flash the images load correctly. However, I inserted the .swf into Dreamweaver and when I uploaded the page onto the server, the buttons and the animation worked correctly, but none of the images were being displayed. I tested it in both Firefox and IE and it did not work in either browser.
I thought maybe the files were in the incorrect location, but everything is in the same file, including the .swf and the images. I'm also using TweenMax and all those files are also together with the .swf.
I also ensured that I had the latest version of the Flash player, but it still is not working.
Thank you!

Thank you for the quick response! I am not actually using XML - I am loading the images from a folder. Here is my code:
function clicker(e:MouseEvent):void
var myMC:MovieClip = e.currentTarget as MovieClip;
switch(myMC.name){
case"_button1":
   loader.load(new URLRequest("imgs/image01.jpg"));
   break;
case"_button2":
   loader.load(new URLRequest("imgs/image02.jpg"));
   break;
//loader class
var loader:Loader = new Loader();
loader.contentLoaderInfo.addEventListener(Event.COMPLETE,placeimage,false,0,true);
loader.contentLoaderInfo.addEventListener(IOErrorEvent.IO_ERROR,errorhandler,false,0,true) ;
loader.contentLoaderInfo.addEventListener(ProgressEvent.PROGRESS,preload,false,0,true);
this.addChild(loader);
//handler for the loader
function errorhandler(e:IOErrorEvent):void
trace(e);
function preload(e:ProgressEvent):void
trace(e.bytesLoaded);
The imgs folder is in the same folder as my .swf and has been uploaded. Could there be something wrong with the links?

Adobe Flash CS4 export problems

I have created a soundboard in Adobe Flash CS4 which looks perfect and functions perfectly using the "enable simple buttons" command. But if I use "test movie" the soundboard opens in a test window, but the text is messed up on some of the buttons. Also, the little hand that shows up when hovering a button only shows up in areas around the edge of the buttons. Its as if the rectangular box I saw around the text during editing isn't acting transparent after export. So that's my dilemma after export. Missing text and problem with activating sounds.

Thank You for navigating me, please delete my topic, some administrator, or moderator. I already set it in the proprietary part...

Exporting to Adobe Flash CS4, which format?

I have created a presentation using Adobe Flash CS4 and I plan to import a video I have made using FCP into my .fla. My presentation _is not_ going on the Internet, so file size _does not_ matter. I am putting the .swf on a USB thumb drive to be played directly on someone's computer, so once again my movie output file size should be of the highest quality possible.
In FCP, there are several formats and options to export my movie. Which do you recommend for integration with Flash?
Thank you.

Umm....I assume you're exporting from FCP using QuickTime conversion,
so you can choose a QuickTime movie, H.264, and choose
Frame Rate: Current
Key Frames: Automatic
Frame Reordering: Checked
Quality: Best
Encoding: Best
Data Rate: Automatic ... which then means you don't need to choose DVD/CDROM.
Give that a try and see how it looks.

Can't properly create motion tweens between two keyframes in flash CS4

I'm trying to create a flash animation of a wing flapping using three keyframes. The first keyframe is at frame 1. I then created a second keyframe at frame 5 by pressing F6, and then I created another keyframe at frame 10 by pressing F6. At frame 5, I rotated the wing so that it is going up. Frame 10 is the same as frame 1.
frame 1:
frame 5: frame 10:
I right clicked on a frame between frames 5 and 10 and then clicked the first option, "Create Motion Tween"; I then performed the same action on a frame between frames 1 and 5. When I preview or test the movie, there is no transition between the frames. From frame 1 to 5, there is supposed to be a transition of the wing flapping up. From frame 5 to 10, there is supposed to be a transition of the wing flapping downwards to its initial position. Instead, when I test the movie, the wing remains still until frame 5 and instantly goes to its "wing up state" and when it gets to frame 10, instantly goes to its "wing down state".
Here is what the timeline looks like after I've made the changes mentioned above:
I'm using Flash CS4 to make the animation but the tutorial I'm following is using Flash CS3. I know I can use other methods to create the motion tween but I want to know why the method I'm using isn't working.

I did switch to classic tweening. I pressed F6 to make a keyframe at frames 5 and 10. I then right clicked on a frame between frames 1 and 5 and then clicked
"create CLASSIC tween"; did the same thing between frames 5 and 10. I'm not seeing the transitional frames between frames 1 and 5 that the tutorial showed.

URGENT! How do I create a vertical scroll button in Flash CS6 for online banners?

Hi, I am creating Flash online banners and the disclaimer needs to open as a vertical scroll banner once the mouse touches the 'x close' button where the words 'Disclaimer' is stated.
How do I create a vertical scroll button including text?
I am using Flash CS6.

Hi Babaa,
sry for the lateness of my reply.
I would simply make a button that when clicked, displays a layer containing your disclaimer text. The discliamer text would be inside a Movie Clip (MC) for ease of controlling.
the MC then contains a text field which has a scrollable field. as the user scrolls through you can then display a "close" button to close out the disclaimer MC.
If you still need the work done feel free to email or PM me here and we can discuss the job further.
Regards
Russ

Where are user-created Flash CS4 templates stored?

This seems like it should be MUCH simpler than it is turning out to be:
I have made a custom template in Flash CS4.
I want to share it with a colleague.
The obvious solution, I would think, would be to COPY the template file from my hard drive, and provide it to my colleague.
However, I have looked high and low, and CANNOT FIND WHERE USER TEMPLATES ARE STORED on my hard drive. I have found the Adobe-provided templates that are included with the product (the "Advertising" templates) at Program Files>Adobe>Adobe Flash CS4>en>Configuration>Templates>Advertising; but MY CUSTOM TEMPLATES are not in the Templates directory.
I have also looked in My Documents, and run several searches on my hard drive, but still cannot find the location of my custom templates. Surely they are SOMEPLACE on my hard drive, as they are available from the Splash page every time I boot up Flash CS4.
PLEASE, O PLEASE, Adobe, reveal this great secret. I have also scoured your databases and user forums, but apparently I am the only person interested in simplified workflow vis-a-vis sharing custom templates.

Hi,
The user created custom templete files are stored @ <root drive>:\documents and Settings\<user name>\local Settings\application Data\adobe\Flash CS4\en\Configuration\Templates\<category under which you have saved eg:Advertising>\
Please mark this post as Answered if this is working for you.
Thanks!
