CS3 fails to output an SWC Flash Component File

My workflow uses CS3 to create SWCs which I include in my FlashDevelop Project. But CS3 no longer outputs the SWC Flash Component File. It outputs the SWF, but not the SWC. So I set up this test FLA to see what's up...
I used a weird name for the MovieClip (MKLop2) to avoid any possible naming collisions and added AS3 to the MovieClip's timeline (a simple this.stop(); ) to ensure Flash was "seeing" enough content to warrant an export to SWC. I also tried right clicking the MC in the library and choosing Export SWC file... from the drop down menu. Flash processes the request but does not produce an SWC. There is an instance of MKLop2 which has been dragged and dropped on the Stage. So, I have done all I can think of to encourage Flash to output an SWC that I know to do. Have I just overlooked something simple? Thanks. Mond.

It all looks good to me and no you shouldn't have to do anything to get it to export items in the SWC other than add a linkage ID to each item you plan on accessing via code.
Perhaps try running Flash as Administrator to rule out any filesystem permission issues.
Lastly are you setting the SWF location every time? Make sure you hit the browse button and select the location every time you open the document. You should only need to do that once.

PPro CS3 fails to read Meta data

PPro CS3 fails to read Meta data in some files i have imported. It fails to read the start of the timecode and the tape name:
Files imported into PPro CS3: http://web.comhem.se/averdahl/pproCS3_meta.png
The same files imported into PPro 1.5: http://web.comhem.se/averdahl/ppro15_meta.png
The first two clips are captured in PPro 2.0, may 2006, and the rest is captured in PPro CS3, august 2007. I have then used the Split function in Scenalyzer Live to split the captured material into smaller clips. I added the Tape Name in Scenayzer Live.
The Meta data, timecode and tape name, can be read in Scenalyzer Live, Adobe Bridge 2.10.100 and PPro 1.5 but PPro CS3 refuses to read some of it. I have not PPro 2.0 installed right now but will give it a shot later. I have deleted Media Cache Database and reimported the clips in CS3 to no avail. I can create a new Project and import the files with the same reults, some meta data is skipped, so the Project itself is ok.
Do you know why this happens? Does it happen to anyone else? Do anyone have a solution?

Make sure that the file has a .html or another known file extension to make sure that the server recognizes it as an HTML file.
The server may send unknown files automatically as text plain.

Flash can't load playerglobal.swc, flash.swc, ik.swc

My copy of Flash CS4 has stopped publishing AS3 swf files. Everytime I try to export a swf I get these three warnings in the compiler errors window:
Warning: unable to load SWC flash.swc, Warning: unable to load SWC ik.swc, Warning: unable to load SWC playerglobal.swc
The swf is blank and no code executes. I've tried uninstalling and reinstalling several times but the problem persists. Anyone got any ideas?

I can't see how I'm casting it as a movieClip. I get the error on the line:
gameScreen = new mcGame(); I've had no problems until I gave the text fields an instance name.
mcGame is the flex component with the text fields on it.

Media applications fail to output sound. [SOLVED]

The issue here seems to be that for some reason or another applications such as VLC, Nightingale, clementine and amarok fail to output sound while system sounds, flash media, and notification sounds from applications such as Skype and Thunderbird continue to work. With each of the music players respectfully there seems to be an error output that amounts to not being able to connect to the sound device. As nightingale is what I currently have installed, the error output is such when I attempt to play any sort of media.
Configured audiosink audiosink-bin is not working.
I am using E17 after formerly having used KDE however I had similar problems with the initial install that were fixed after setting the default device in alsamixer.
The output of aplay -l is as follows

Every thing seems to be loaded correctly and speakertest -c 2 seems to be working. The problem I had last time was with flash blocking sound output from other programs, but this problem subsided after having correctly set my default with alsamixer. I began to have the problem of flash blocking other applications from outputting sound when a browser was open a couple of days ago, but this has somehow progressed to any media application failing to output sound at anytime regardless if a browser has been opened or not. I uninstalled flashplugin and now rely on the plugin packaged within chrome but the problem persists. Any suggestions? I have read the wiki on alsa and on the flash plugin and have searched around but have found nothing that addresses my problem or that I have not already implemented or tried.
EDIT: It seems that I have gotten vlc to start working again. The issue here seems to be that /etc/alsa.conf had been marked by pacman as /etc/alsa.conf.pacorig and renaming it and setting vlc to output directly to the default device instead of having set to default has gotten sound working for it again. It seems the only problem that remains and I have gotten this error is other applications and it is probably the problem behind XBMC not playing audio but the audiosink-bin is not working error is most likely the source of the additional problems. I will look into it and see if I get any reply in the meantime.
EDIT: Due to something beyond my intelligence it seems that nightingale now plays sound and can even do so with chrome and a youtube video open. I am guessing the problem lied in the gstreamer plugins and when I removed all of my orphaned dependencies that may have been what had done it, something may have been in conflict or maybe just from the couple of reboots I have had since then. I did reinstall the plugins but there was a package that was removed called smpeg and another called sdlmixer those may have had something to do with it. So the moral of this story is to remove orphans on a regular basis, which I have been doing but just got around to today. If anyone has any input, which I doubt at this point. I will mark this as solved

I fixed it (for now, at least!)
I ran the below command:
$ cat /proc/asound/cards
0 [U0x46d0x804 ]: USB-Audio - USB Device 0x46d:0x804
USB Device 0x46d:0x804 at usb-0000:00:1a.0-1.2, high speed
1 [MID ]: HDA-Intel - HDA Intel MID
HDA Intel MID at 0xf9ff8000 irq 47
2 [NVidia ]: HDA-Intel - HDA NVidia
HDA NVidia at 0xfbd7c000 irq 17
Basically, my USB webcam, which also acts as a microphone, was being treated as my default sound card. I changed this by creating a file in /etc/modprobe.d with the following:
options snd-hda-intel index=0
Which set my real sound card as default:
$ cat /proc/asound/cards
0 [MID ]: HDA-Intel - HDA Intel MID
HDA Intel MID at 0xf9ff8000 irq 47
1 [NVidia ]: HDA-Intel - HDA NVidia
HDA NVidia at 0xfbd7c000 irq 17
2 [U0x46d0x804 ]: USB-Audio - USB Device 0x46d:0x804
USB Device 0x46d:0x804 at usb-0000:00:1a.0-1.2, high speed
The problem isn't ENTIRELY fixed. Skype's still being a bit buggy, but at least Chromium is now playing sound, including in Flash media. Strangely enough, after playing a Flash video (e.g. on YouTube), Skype's sound seems to fix itself if it's defunct.

Editable assets within a swc-based component

Hi there,
I created several swc-based components with AS3 and Flash CS4 extending the UIComponent structure. After exporting a fla-based component to a swc-file i created a flash-extension with the Adobe Extension Manager and installed the component.
This swc-based component works fine and shows up in the component panel, but i'm not able to edit the components assets because they don't show up in the library anymore.
Can someone please tell me if there's a way to export the components assets respectively the components symbols with the swc-file in order make them editable and show up in the library of the FLA which's using the component?
Thank you!
Best regards,
Daniel

Hi there,
has none one encountered this problem yet? Somehow it must be possible to export the assets with the swc-component so they are still editable.
Thx!
Daniel

Animated Flash Component Scaling when used as Button Skin

I am trying to skin the overSkin of a Flex Button component with an animated Flash .swc component. (Actually, an Accordion Header, but for all practical purposes the same.)
All works completely fine, in most cases. The problem I run into is when I have any objects in the Flash animation moving on and off stage. When this happens, although the objects cannot be seen when moved off-stage, the viewable area of the Flash animation scales down in either direction, or both, to make room in the button for the objects off stage.
If I play the animation directly in the application, or a Canvas, everything works fine and no scaling occurs. But for a Button, where I really need it, I get the constant scaling back and forth as the Flash movie runs. This can be REALLY annoying when trying to click on a button! (Or you find that you are no longer "over" the button (because it scaled down) so you get flicker back and forth between the Up and Over states.)
Any ideas on how I can keep this from happening, either on the Flash or Flex side would be much appreciated.
Pertinent Code:
[Bindable]
[Embed(source="assets//btn_StaticHollywood.jpg")]
private var Film:Class;
[Bindable]
[Embed(skinClass="fc.HollywoodWithSearchlights")]
private var FilmOver:Class;
animatedButton.setStyle("upSkin", Film);
animatedButton.setStyle("overSkin", FilmOver);
<mx:Button id="animatedButton" cornerRadius="0" />
Note: I tried all assortments of setting dimensions I believe.
Remember, the Flash component has objects that move in and off the stage from both directions, and this is the cause of the automatic resizing of the Button when it runs.

I am assuming that you are using Flex 4 and this does not work. In Flex 4, the default theme used is the "Spark" theme. In Flex 3, we used the "Halo" theme. The Halo theme supports styles like borderStyle, but, the Spark theme does not.
If you want to use these styles, you will need to compile with the Halo theme. You can do this by adding an additional compiler argument -theme=<SDK_DIR>/frameworks/themes/Halo/halo.swc (point to the halo.swc in your SDK installation)

Integrate flash component into JSP page

Hi,
I need to integrate a flash component into my JSP page. flash component is used to put signature via mouse drag. the signature that is put should be captured and stored in DB. can anyone help me how to do it. Thanks in advance...

I thought about including it in an outputText tag but i never tried it because the output text shouldn't be rendered as html code (by definition).
Thank you for your brilliant solution, it works fine now.

Flash component kit

I succesfully installed the flash component kit.
unfortunately the "make flex component" menu is not added. The only
thing I found was (right click on movie in Library) "export swc".
Could it be, that it won't work with the German Flash Version?

The Adobe Print Engine has failed to output your data due to an unknown problem

I am currently having a huge problem printing from indesign. I am running CS3 on a hi spec 08 Mac Pro (10.5.2) connected to an Epson 3800 Stylus Pro A2 printer. I keep getting the message <Printing Error: The Adobe Print Engine has failed to output your data due to an unknown problem>. I have tried trashing the indesign preferences, I tried a new account... In fact I have just done a clean install of the entire OS. Just can't get it to print. I did have it printing on this machine before and the same document prints from my iMac. The problem seems to be something to do with the print dialogue. If I print WITHOUT checking the Printer settings in the Print dialogue is sends to the print, but the output is shocking as the paper selection is not right and uses photo black not matt black. When I DO check the printer settings and set it all correctly it gives me the <Printing Error: The Adobe Print Engine has failed to output your data due to an unknown problem>. Anyone else had this or have any thoughts?

I am seeing this error too, but I've narrowed it down to an isolated set of circumstances. My client has begun rolling out Active Directory integration with Macs on their network. Here are the specifics:
-- Mac OS X 10.5.4, IDCS3 5.0.3
-- Using the Directory Utility, Macs are bound to AD with using the mobile account option (user folder is cached locally on workstation, hosted on the network)
-- The message immediately pops up after clicking 'Print' button in print dialogue.
-- Printers are a couple of different versions of DocuColor (250 and 260) with Fiery RIP front ends. Print queues are hosted on an AD print server and listed as Open Directory under Kind in the Add Printer dialogue.
-- Only IDCS and ILCS3 (13.02) exhibit this problem. PSCS3 (10.01), Acrobat (8.1.2) and Safari do not have the same issue, so it appears to be Postscript related
-- Printers not going through AD (IP or BonJour enabled HP B&W lasers) print successfully when logged in via the networked user. Logging into a local admin account resolves the problem as well.
-- This issue appears on freshly imaged machines, G5s and MacBook Pros, not just an isolated workstation. So its possible there is a problem with the source image, but it was created by another office and I'm just a consultant onsite at another location trying to sort things out. Other workstations still using Thursby's Dave software for file and printer access, running 10.4.11 do not exhibit same issues.
-- The console output lists this error when ID fails:
7/23/08 3:28:59 PM /Applications/Adobe InDesign CS3/Adobe InDesign CS3.app/Contents/MacOS/Adobe InDesign CS3[1374] passwordCallback: didn't find keychain item for "ipp://localhost/printers/DC01_Fiery250_5th";prompting for it
I have created a keychain entry to match this with no success.
-- None the suggestions in linked KB doc. resolve the issue. But that doc seems to be outdated as it references CS 1 and 2 versions of ID.
So, has anyone seen the same issues? AD integration appears to be the common thread, but I cannot find the cause.

Failed to output your data due to an unknown problem

***Oops. Cross posted. Glad it is working.***
If you desire to share the fonts I can look at them. Just send me a PM with a link.
Did you change the internal naming/IDs when you created your varient? If not, try removing the version you began with. Paths all closed, etc?
Ian's application works fine but I don't use the light version--isn't there some limitation with it?

Accessing public properties/methods of flash component

I've been searching all day trying to figure out how I can go about accessing properties decalared with in a flash component or containers base actionscript class.
I need to create a fairly complex interface within a part of a flex web app and I think it would be better to create it in flash profressional. I just cannot find any good information on how to get xmxl/flex to play nicely with swf/swc. Maybe it's justs not possible.
Any help or even a point in the right direction would be greatly appreciated.

So I ended up answering my own question, but thought I would share how I did it since I can't seem to find any instructions or examples anywhere.
So what I wanted in the end was a swc file running within my flex app but I need to be able to pull data out of my swc for use with in flex. These are the steps I took to get there. If you read through this and feel there is a better way of achieving the end result please share.
Start out by adding a Flash Professional Container to your FLEX project (I dont know the difference between Component and Container, all I figured out is Component would blow up when I started adding classes with the Flash Professional project)
Give the Container and ID. mine is myTest
Double click and open the Container with in Flash Professional
Once in Flash Professional go to the Library tab and right click to add a new Symbol.Make it a MovieClip and name it what ever you would like and export it for Actionscript. **I have yet to add more to this but I plan on treating this as my "Stage" or base view.
Once created drag a new instance into the view. Make sure it is at 0,0 and give it a instance name. You will use this name as your accessor in FLEX
Right click on your new movie clip in the Library tab and selecet edit class. since all I wanted was a string I created a private string and its public getter method
private var _dataString:string = "Some string of data";
public function get dataString():String {
return _dataString;
Save your class and close it
Click the Done button in the .fla window to save your Flash project and return to Flash Builder.
Now with in the actionscript section of my MXML I can access the string above by myTest.appMain.dataString; appMain is the instance name of the movieclip I created in Flash Professional.
Now that I figured this out it seems so trival and shouldnt have taken me so long to figure out. I'm just surprised I couldn't find more info on the web about getting Flash components/containers to work well with in Flex/Flash Builder.
I hope this helps someone out.

Drop-down menu cut off by Flash component

Hi,
I am using Flash CS3.
I have a drop-down menu and a Flash component immediately
below it. When I hover over the menu item, it opens downwards but
gets cut off by the Flash component.
This doesn't happen if I replace the Flash component with a
picture.
Any advice what could be done will be much
appreciated.

Adding parameter wmode="transparent" to both Flash parameter
tags and embed tag solved this issue for me.

BPM_DATA_COLLECTION fails with (Output device "" not known) error

Hi all,
I have an issue with Output BPM_DATA_COLLECTION_1 job in the satellite system failing with 'Output device "" not known error. Since it is collecting data for Solution Manager system why does is it trying to find an output device.
It did not fail before and now I added another key figure (custom one) which is done the same way the other custom monitors are done in "Z_BPM_ECU_COLLECTOR" report and then in /SSA/EXM program, but the collector job started to fail.
Also, for some reason there are two BPM_DATA_COLLECTION jobs, one is BPM_DATA_COLLECTION_1 and the other is BPM_DATA_COLLECTION_2. _1 runs every 5 min and _2 is less frequent. They both seem to runt the same job which is /SSA/EXS. Why are there two jobs scheduled from solution manager in my satellite system?
Thank you very much for your help!

I am experiencing this same issue in our ECC 6.0 system. We currently have ST-A/PI release 01M_ECC600 level 0001 applied to our system. These jobs finish successfully in SM37, but I'm seeing the same error messages in our system logs (SM21).
When I try to update the output device that is associated with these jobs, the user ID running the jobs is not valid since it's user type is Communication Data.
Does anyone know if it ok to change the user for this job? Should it be run by DDIC? I believe the jobs were created automatically when we applied ST-A/PI release 01M_ECC600 level 0001.
