Email From Flash CS3

Is there a way that I can send an email right from Flash CS3?
I am creating a contact form and I want the information to go to my
email address.

you can use the user's default email program, if they have
one. you would use navigateToURL() just like using getURL() in as2
to send email.

Quicktime movie export from Flash CS3 is skipping frame.

When I try to export Quicktime movie from Flash CS3, the
resulting mov file is skipping frames. i.e.: The movie is showing
frame number 1, 2, 3, 4, 5, 6, 7, 7, 7, 10, 11, 12, 12, 12, 15
etc...
As you can see the frame number 7 is repeated 3 times and
frame 8 and 9 are nowhere to be found.
The last configuration I used is 960x540, Sorenson video 3
medium quality, 25 fps, keyframe every 25 frames. 6400 kbits/s.
I tried various configurations,with different codecs and even
with keyframe all frames and I always get simillar problems.
Anyone have an idea what is going on, and how to fix this?
Thank you,
Olivier.

The QT exporter in Flash is honestly my least favorite
feature - not the feature itself but how it
works (or how it doesn't work in some cases). For me it is
almost unusable unless you have a very
short timeline, small stage, lower frame rate - like AS
generated effects or something - otherwise,
for true frame accuracy to video output - it is not reliable
enough and not fast enough for any real
world production environment.
So typically for me - I love SWF2Video (www.flashants.com) as
it takes any SWF and makes it into an
AVI that is frame accurate no matter what the frame rate is -
quite incredible - enough so that I
always felt it should have been bundled with Flash (as well
as Wacom tablets).
Harmony is an incredible product - as is SOLO and TBS (Toon
Boom mStudio) - each of those programs
are dedicated animation programs designed for output to video
- Flash has a lot of hats to fill and
it was never really designed for animation to video even
though many of us have found it suitable
for all intents and purposes as an animation program for full
production.
But all in all - the quicktime exporter doesn't really
deliver how we would expect it too I am sorry
to say - I only hope it works as well as it does on the Mac
(Mac users could always choose to export
to Quicktime Video but not PC users).
For now if I am exporting to video I keep it all on the
timeline or nested in Graphic symbols or use
the SWF2Video tool.
hope this helps.

Audio from Flash CS3 Video overlapping

audio from Flash CS3 Video overlapping
help stopping the FLVPlayback instance (which has an instance
name of theVideo) when another button is clicked!
How do I stop flv playback when user clicks a navigation
button ...
Excuse me in advance for asking about a topic that may be
very popular!
I'm using the attached code to go from the main stage to one
subset of .swf files (loaded movies) and I apparently have no
problems with overlapping. Hell, the files even seem to unload
themselves correctly. Then, when I go to my second subset of .swf
files (with the exact same AS3 structure), which has a Flash Video
file (made by the FLV Playback component), I get into an
overlapping problem associated with the audio.
How can I stop, cancel, or unload the audio when the file is
clicked away from (the user selects another button on the main
stage)?
Code attached. Please let me know if anything else is needed.
Yours Sincerely,
Jntspecialty

I have tried to clean up code and do this right.
I need help referencing (storing the value in the variable
"stopsoundoverlapReq") the "flvplayback instance AFTER theVideo is
instantiated (ie, the frame that contains theVideo has rendered)"
correctly.
Also, now I need help with the name of my nav bar button's
method followed by parentheses, which should include the
appropriate method parameter.
On my main timeline, I tried to clean up the code and use:
var stopsoundoverlapReq:FLVPlayback =
stop("videopage.swf/MovieClip(ldr.content).theVideo");
Then for my nav bar button on this same timeline use:
any_btn.addEventListener(MouseEvent.CLICK, stopsoundoverlap);
function stopsoundoverlap(event:MouseEvent):void
stopsoundoverlap.stop(stopsoundoverlapReq);
The 3 errors I get now are :
1046: Type was not found or was not a compile-time constant:
FLVPlayback. var stopsoundoverlapReq:FLVPlayback =
stop("videopage.swf/MovieClip(ldr.content).theVideo");
1061: Call to a possibly undefined method stop through a
reference with static type Function.
stopsoundoverlap.stop(stopsoundoverlapReq);
1137: Incorrect number of arguments. Expected no more than 0.
var stopsoundoverlapReq:FLVPlayback =
stop("videopage.swf/MovieClip(ldr.content).theVideo");

Email from Flash - non-disabling TFs, encoding problem

Hi,
recently I create Flash-based contact form. I have 2 issues:
1. When user clicks the "Send" button, there is and additional layer over the form - Shape filled with black rectangle, 0.4 alpha and one more with window "Sending in progress". I noticed that it is possible to edit the form fields (these are TextFields with INPUT type). The image below is from my Flash projector - as you can see, there is "cursor" in "message" TF.
2. This form uses PHP to send emails by email() function. When I use my national chars, they aren't shown in sent email, there are rectangles. My .php file uses UTF-8 encoding and gets data from $_GET array and when I tries to send email from browser (just typing an address and my national chars in it), everything's okay. Is there a possibility to made Flash using UTF-8 encoding?
Thank you

OK. Now #1 problem is solved.
I still have 15 points to hand out
Edit: I've already found a solution on kirupa forums.

Upload Directly From Flash CS3?

OK so I might be looking over something simple or maybey you
just can't do it, but is there a way to publish the final html and
associated files directly to a website in just FLASH CS3? I know
you can set up a site on Flash and it has all the requirements like
in Dreamweaver but I can't seem to find how to send it up without
taking it into another program, thanks.

You are correct, the Android version does not currently have this feature. You need to upload to the library and then add to the album. If you wish to add directly to an album, you can use adoberevel.com, create an album, and drag and drop photos there.

Emailing from Flash

I know I post for help alot on this project... But I have
decided to un-giveup on it...
I am trying to have it send an email after a chat is finished
using the blue button... to the right of the chat..
To use the program... it is full screen, use the little dot
at the bottom of the screen, that will take you to screen 2, put in
a name, then hit continue (or enter), in the next page is the chat
script, it only responds to HI and Bye right now, then the blue
button should send an email to my email, but its not sending... The
FLA can be found at:
http://cid-96130dac976eef2f.skydrive.live.com/self.aspx/Public/letters12.fla
This is using Flash MX by the way.. I am only hoping to send
the chat script to the email in HTML format.
I will include the code to the PHP script (which as been
tested and working using another flash program on my computer..)
Processor Page
<?php
$sendTo = "[email protected]";
$subject = "My Flash site reply";
$headers = "From: " . $_POST["firstName"] ." ".
$_POST["lastname"] . "<" . $_POST["email"] .">\r\n";
$headers .= "Reply-To: " . $_POST["email"] . "\r\n";
$headers .= "Return-path: " . $_POST["email"];
$message = $_POST["message"];
mail($sendTo, $subject, $message, $headers);
?>

i don't download files unless i request them. my guess is
other potential helpers looked at your message and felt the same
way.

Exporting Quicktime from Flash CS3

I got the new CS3 suite 2 weeks ago and have been loving it.
I am finishing out a nice animation for a client and realized when
I tried to export it to a Quicktime movie that it wont. The
progress bar progressese just like normal and when it gets to the
end it stays there. I read up on Adobes site about a quicktime
error fixed by turning flash on in the preferences and I did that,
restarted and it still is doing the same thing.
Is there any other possibilities out there that could cause
this to happen? I would think this wouldn't just be my copy doing
this but it very well may be a wide spread bug.
Thanks in advance for any help! :)

That's the stupidest thing I ever heard of!! How can you remove the option for determining the size of my movie?! If the size of the frame influances the frame rate, you should have fixed that. With this it means I have to make my flash file 1920x1080 if I want the quicktime movie to be HD, not a pixel less.
Is there a way to override this? A plug-in or something that wil let me determine the size of the qiucktime movie independetly of the size of the flash file?

Print postscript files from flash cs3 to get vector information

I've been playing around with some dynamic flash paintings
and would like to export the vector information. I've tried
choosing "print--save pdf--save pdf as postscript" I installed
Adobe's PS drivers. I set up a virtual printer on localhost using
AdobeDistiller. This is not working for me.
I witnessed flash exporting vector information this way on a
pc, but can't seem to get this working on a mac. The pc user
downloaded and installed postscript drivers from Adobe and used a
similar method.
I'm on Mac OS 10.4.11
Any ideas? This has been frustrating me for some time.
Thanks ahead of time for the help!

There are several ways to do this.
The easiest one, I think, is exporting a FLV file from the Render Queue, picking in the Outpit Module one of the "Same as source (Flash 8 and Higher)" FLV presets, modified manually just to enable the "Encode Alpha Channel" checkbox.
Because of a known limitation in the Flash authoring app, which can only handle embedded transparency information correctly when done in a certain way, it's strongly recommended after settting the FLV encoding options that you set the "Color" menu in the Output Module to "Straight (Unmatted)". Otherwise you may get ugly halos around certain elements.

How to target a file(pdf) from Flash CS3

Hello,
I have some rather heavy stuff that have been converted to a
more friendly pdf file
I have also created a print button in my fla file in Flash.
How do I set it up so when you press the print button, it
opens the standard printer dialog window or download the file and
open the pdf file so the client can decide what do do with it?? or
something similar to that.
I know that there is a "print" function in the action library
but I just can't make it work
The Pdf File is in a different scene that when a press the
print button it goes to it with no problem.
on (release) {
_root.gotoAndPlay("Scene12", 1);
I will really, really, really, appreciate some of your could
take me through the procedure.
Regards
PDF File created in Quark Xpress 7 and sits within the Flash
project

You are better off simply linking to the PDF from the Flash,
using getURL or another like function, so that the PDF opens in
Adobe Reader. Adobe Reader handles the printing for you
automatically, and Flash printing is not what it should be.

URGENT!! Send an email from Flash 8

Hi,
The problem is: I have a web site made with Flash 8 and in
CONTACT section there is an email Form, this one must send the
basic sender info (name, email, comments) but my FormMail.pl script
dont works, then I´ll like another one solution for this
problem. Thanx

It would be helpfull, if you could:
post the fla
a link to the former html form that
worked with FormMail.pl if that exsists (or the docu for
FormMail.pl)
I write this, because normaly a working solution in html
should work with flash if it is done right and uses the same
variable naes etc. It might be that your perl script checks for the
referer and the flash form has to be at the exact same location as
the former html one in order to work

Passing a variable from Flash Cs3 (AS2) to C#

I am working on what I thought would be a simple microsoft windows form application. In the application I load a .swf file, straight and simple, but when the last frame is reached I need to pass information to the C# program that the last page has been reached - I thought a variable [finished = 1] or a string [end="Finished"] would work best.
I have google,d binged, and searched through these forums but I cannot find anything that I can understand. As you can tell I am a very casual flash and C# user (=noob), any help would be greatly appreciated.
Thank you in advance for any assistance
Woodtd

Thank you for your response.
Do you have a code snippet or other example that shows how to do this?
Thanks

Send an email from flash movie

Hi,
I am using Captivate 4.
I am using click-box with the 'send e-mail to' option.
Is there a way to set default subject for the email?
Thank you,
Merav.

Hi Merav
Indeed there is. At the end of where you specify the E-Mail address, type a Question mark followed by the word subject, then an equal sign and add the subject. Wherever you would want a space, use %20 instead. In the example below, the link would open the E-Mail client pre-addressed to [email protected] with a subject of "Minnie's recent behavior".
Cheers... Rick

Loop then stop Flash CS3 vs Flash CS5

I recently upgraded from Flash CS3 to CS5. I'm creating a banner in Flash CS5 using ActionScript 2.0. I want it to loop 3 times then stop. I'm using the same code as I did in CS3. When I view it using Flash Player, its fine but my client is saying it loops continuously when they view it. Has the code changed since CS3? Here is the code I'm currently using:
ON FIRST FRAME I ENTERED:
var count;
if(!count){
count = 0;
THEN ON THE LAST FRAME I ENTERED:
count += 1;
if(count == 3){
stop();
I'm Action Script challenged, so please be specific. Thank you in advance for your help.

Hello kglad,
Thanks for confirming that the script was fine. Seems like there was something wrong with the swf file, not the script. Thanks for ruling out the script as the problem source.

How to export height quality gif frm Flash CS3?

Hi,
When i export a .GIF movie from Flash CS3 , the movie quality is not good, here is some dot dots in the gif movie.
How to export height quality gif ? . Kindly explain pls as soon possible...
Thanks & Regards
Mohan

GIF is a color restricted format with on/off support for transparency. There's really no settings you can tweak to output a better GIF. You have a drop-down during GIF sequence export to allow transparency, select the amount of colors (up to 256) and you can choose dither to save a little filespace. The only 2 things in there that really matter are dither and amount of colors used to export.
If your content is very similar (e.g. not a lot of complex gradients/shadows/etc) and is limited in color use turning down the amount of colors used and dithering is your only option.
Make sure you're exporting the GIF via "Publish Settings" so you get a single animated GIF and not file->export->movie because this creates a separate sequence of GIF images for each frame.

Building Facebook apps in Flash CS3?

Hi all,
Can Facebook apps be written in Flash CS3 or do I have to use Flex? I'm more comfortable with Flash, but it seems geared toward Flex.
One of the Facebook SDK examples (FriendsList_flash) contains an FLA file but it won't load in Flash CS3. Does it require a new version or am I doing something wrong?
Thanks in advance,
Barry
