FLash 8 - Flash MX 6.0?

Hello all,
Is it possible to save files from Flash 8 so that they can be
used in Flash MX version 6.0? I only seem to get the choice of
Flash 8 or Flash MX 2004.
Many thanks, Sam.

You've answered your own question. In fact, I find it
irritating myself. The only way to do it is to save to MX2004
format, then reopen it in MX2004 (which I have on my laptop) and
re-save in Flash MX format. There are many graphic designers and
animators who think that there have been no significant
improvements in Flash since Flash MX, and thus don't want to spend
the money to upgrade. For the most part I agree with them. And I
work on projects with them, which is why I find the situation to be
troublesome. Other than ActionScript and some slightly better
tweening controls and marginally useful (but mostly unnecessary)
graphics filters, Flash 8 doesn't have much extra to offer
designers and animators.

Flash/Flash Lite developer in Gothenburg wanted

Hi!
I'm looking for a Flash/Flash Lite developer located in
Gothenburg (you could
possibly be situated somewhere else) that can work with me on
a
Flash Lite 2.1 application for cell phones.
The project needs to start right now, and is quite intense.
Very interesting solution, I'll tell you more if you contact
me.
Best, Andreas

Flash/Flash Player will not open link to web page when clicked

Hi there, I am testing a FLASH animation ad that has links to a website. When I click on the links, it opens firefox but it doesn't go to the link! I have added the links and the file names in the Adobe Flash Settings Manager, restarted several times, restarted in Safe Mode and it still does not work! I cannot find any information on this. My coworker also tried it and it does not work for him on IE on Windows. HOWEVER, If I have SAFARI open it works fine, and If I drag and drop the .swf file into either browser and then click on the links it goes to the web page. If it helps I am on a MAC using Snow Leopard and I am using Flash CS3.

Go to this link:
http://www.macromedia.com/support/documentation/en/flashplayer/help/settings_manager04.htm l
Go to global security settings.
Click browse for folder, go to your drive root (or the folder where your swf/fla is and select it. You should see that folder get added to the security exception list. Re-test tell me what happens.
Thanks,
Jesse

Flex, Air, Flash, Flash builder, ASC2.0

After the decision of moving Flex to apache, and with the release of Flash builder 4.7 I am getting a bit confused about what is what anymore.
Flex development is moving to apache, yet the compilers, packaging tools and more seem to live inside the Flex SDK.
Air SDK has previously gone on top of the Flex SDK and seems to be an addon on the Flex SDK.
However in flash builder 4.7, AIR SDK is set as the compiler even for web projects, although the result is a .swf file with no dependency on AIR.
On top of things now you can get AIR SDK with ASC2.0 that still can build web applications (non-air)
I am sorry if this is a stupid question, but Isn't this getting a bit complicated and terminologies getting mixed up?
Am I right to assume that things are moving towards the following:
AIR SDK - Compiler and core framework/Api for AS3 code that targets either web(swf), air or air mobile (this would be bundled with Flash builder), have command line tools, to build & package applications.
FLEX SDK - Frameworks for RIA apps (mxml files etc), but ultimately not necessery unless your doing those kinds of apps.

In the Flex/Flash world, everything eventually gets compiled to SWF despite how the source is written. SWF consists of media assets as well as bytecode that can be executed. This is very similar to the Windows world where EXE/DLL files may be a compiled product of C++, VB, Delphi, etc code.
ASC 2.0 is a new compiler that produces more optimal bytecode. While Flash is fast, the current ActionScript compiler does not produce good enough bytecodes that gets the best out of Flash player.
Adobe AIR provides additional capabilities outside of Flash Player to make the applications more desktop friendly. Flash Player is constrainted by browser security, therefore capabilities such as are local file read/write are limited. While the security makes sense, when it comes to desktop applications where security model is different, it makes sense to have extentions that enrich the user experience. Throughout the years, besides API additions, AIR grows to include capabilities such as packaging SWFs for mobile devices.
Flex is just a framework that's designed to make building business applications easier. However, business applications can be built without Flex framework.
p.s. I am not an Adobe employee, but I have been trying to clear this confusion for many people. It seems that Adobe's PR is not keen on communicating with developers, while they are awesome in terms of catering creative professionals.

Shockwave Player vs. Shockwave Flash (Flash Player)

For historic/legacy reasons there are two free Adobe browser add-ons with somewhat similar names
Shockwave Flash
Shockwave Player
Shockwave Flash is Flash Player
Shockwave Player is Shockwave Player
This is the Shockwave Player forum.

Hi stevewriter122 and welcome to our community
Hmmm, your mention of eHelp indicates a bit of time has
elapsed. As a result, I'm going to crawl way out here on this shaky
little limb and say that maybe that was the case at one point in
time, but it probably changed. Or, maybe it was just voodoo all
along. I'm simply not sure. Maybe Catbandit has some good stuff
about all that, as he is another one that also combined RoboDemo
with RoboHelp.
However, I'm another person that now combines RoboHelp with
Captivate. (I never could warm up to RoboDemo, but Captivate rocked
my world) Anyway, I'm happy to report that I've been combining
Captivate movies with both .CHM and WebHelp output for a long time
with no issues. And with my laptop being pretty new, I'm doubtful
Shockwave player is even on the system. But I'll counter that with
the open admittance that I'm not sure how I would even go about
testing to see if it was present.
Hopefully others will happily chime in here and offer other
insights on this.
Cheers... Rick

Flex to Flash -- Flash to Flex

I created a SWC in Flex. linked to it in Flash and my classes
don't show up.
there's no error. nothing is visible. WTF?

I've been looking for this for a while now ... it's funny how the most obvious stuff in Flex/Flash are so hard to accomplish.

Flashing flash bug

http://social.answers.microsoft.com/Forums/en-US/InternetExplorer/thread/1bd84580-ed93-4a3 0-b1c1-60329b47a628
http://forums.adobe.com/thread/532521?tstart=0
the above two links talk about a problem that's becoming increasingly common for people i talk to. i can't recall an instance where this glitch has occurred on relatively powerful hardware. i won't be able to personally confirm this til around christmas.
I personally have experienced this problem with Windows 7 Pro, x86 legit. Happens for me most commonly at http://ase.zomghi2u.com - n270 atom, 1.5gb ram, gma945.
doesn't seem to happen with webkit based browsers, nor any browser in linux. (confirmed with fedora 11-12 and slackware. i suspect Mac users have nothing to worry about, either.
my theories stem from a number of things; chatango's flash embeds were known to bring a computer to it's knees by what seems like a slow memory leak, since flash 9. windows vista/7 have compositing and i believe i remember reading about how flash 10+ was meant to bring flash to the gpu? perhaps there needs to be more sandboxing in place to prevent flash from doing stupid things in vram, etc?
anyway, not going to pretend i know more than i do, just pass on any information that might help the people that do.
my main concern is that this might be a problem that doesn't get fixed because it's only immediately noticeable on lower end hardware. this could really be something that bites adobe in the *** later.

ah, the adobe link is incorrect. not sure what happened there.
anyway, to add more information, when the problem occurs for me in firefox, the entire embed will blank out and then redraw itself about half a second later. sometimes this will happen multiple times in succession. the crazy thing is sometimes parts of the firefox chrome will redraw itself in the same manner, like scrollbars, etc. i seem to be able to trigger this by clicking from text input box to text input box within various flash embeds on the same page. what ends up redrawing is relatively random. almost guaranteed to at least by the embed i clicked, switchin focus from one to another. sometimes all the embeds light up and redraw, sometimes just 1 or 2, and sometimes it'll be an embed or two plus bits of the firefox chrome.
also, i have noticed this glitch only happens to areas of the page that come after the embed i'm triggering this response from. mozilla chrome, included. for example, causing the glitch on the second chat at http://ase.zomghi2u.com will cause random bits of the page to the right and below to flash/blank/redraw.
so, perhaps this mainly has to do with capturing focus and the gpu? maybe this has more to do with windows changing how the mouse and cursor work with the gpu?
please note, i've heard of this same problem happening for both vista and 7 users.

FLASHING Flash in HTML / Broswer

Hi Folks - This one has me stumped. I have two completely
different Flash animation (Interactive) published for our website.
Whenever I publish these with Active Content Update - HTTP and
unusual anomoly happens. In the IE Browswer the swf opens up
perfectly and plays perfectly (no annoying border security).
However, if you hit a link that takes you to another page, when you
come BACK to the orginal home page the Flash File "FLASHES" about 6
or 7 times before running smoothly again. Almost like it is loading
image file or swf files before starting. When I publish the same
files with the standard publishing technique (old fashion way)
everything works perfectly and coming back to the home page after
leaving is not an issue.
Side note: After publishing these problematic files I use the
"Commands / Apply Active Content Update" which generates the
AC_RunActiveContent.js. All the files are then copied over to
the server for testing.

you can use javascript to detect installed flash player
version, and add a condition to control which content to be
displayed.
you can try the Flash Player Version Detection functions like
ControlVersion() & GetSwfVer() from Adobe Flash published

Acrobat 9 & Flash - Flash Player Link 404's

We're running Acrobat 9. In trying to get a portfolio, we're getting the much-discussed "To view the Flash technology, please install..." Flash player message. Problem is that if I click through to the Adobe-provided link, there is no file to download - it 404's out (http://download.macromedia.com/pub/flashplayer/support/acrobat/install_flash_player.exe):
Not Found
The requested URL /pub/flashplayer/support/acrobat/install_flash_player.exe was not found on this server.
I know I need to install flash player, but if Adobe's deleted it, not sure what I'm supposed to do next.
Thanks!

Hello,
Please download Flash from following website:

Please select your O.S from Step 1.
and Select "Flash Player 15 for Other Browsers" in step 2.

Published as Flash, Flash will not play in PowerPoint

Hi mmmurphy1 and welcome to our community
When you click it from Explorer, do you get the generic
Windows prompt where Windows is asking you what to do? If so, just
try pointing at Internet Explorer and clicking the check box for
using it always for this option. See if that helps.
Hope so... Rick

HELP! Flashing, flashing, flashing....

Hi, all. Need a bit of help here.
I just purchased a Time Capsule (500GB) so that I can back-up my files from my Mac Pro desktop. (Don't need the TC to do anything else.) The Time Capsule is plugged in, but all that's happening is a flashing green light. I re-set the TC, still that flashing green light. My AirPort Utility responds with: "AirPort Utility was unable to find any wireless devices. Make sure the Apple wireless device you want to set-up is plugged in and in range of your computer, and then click rescan to try again."
I've done all that numerous times. All I get is the same response from AirPort Utility. Plus AirPort is not allowing me to click on Manual Setup.
I tried connecting the TC to my cable modem via a hi-speed USA 2.0 cable, which resulted in absolutely nothing.
HELP! What am I doing wrong here??? Advice and/or instructions appreciated BIG TIME. Thanks!

Make sure airport is turned on on your mac pro. If the time capsule is in default settings, you should see the following network name: Apple Network 842334 (numbers vary)
If you don't see this apple network, reset your time capsule: While it's turned on, hold down the reset button in the back for 15 seconds (or until the light on the front flashes faster) Let it sit for 30 seconds and see if the apple network shows up. If so, it will show up in airport utility.

Firefox wants Flash - I don't want Flash - Flash notifier leaves Plugin required notice blocking screen -Firefox rendered more useless!

I run Firefox 2.0 (because I need certain features that won't run in later versions) and whenever I try to run my apps, I get a message saying that Firefox "NEEDS" to load Flash [I don't want Flash], then it says it can't do it and I have to do a "manual install" then it leaves one of the plugin notifiers on the bottom right corner of the screen, effectively blocking my app. It is a ruddy pain in the a*se. How do I stop Firefox wanting to load a piece of software that I don't want?

Question about AE for Flash /Flash for AE book CS4

Hi,
In chapter 3 of the book I had to edit a movie in Premiere, then color correct it in Aftereffects and export the result as xfl file. Finally I had to open it in Flash.
All went well, but the only thing that is missing is the sound of that movie when I play it in Flash.
All suggestions are welcome!

Go here:
http://help.adobe.com/en_US/AfterEffects/9.0/WS609484ED-81FD-41fd-B2C8-10A1D55339EF.html
Towards the bottom of the page, in the section "Limitations of exporting a composition to XFL format", the text says that "Audio is not exported to the XFL file."
I'd suggest that you import your audio file directly into Flash (whether it's an MP3, WAV or AIF file), and put that on its own layer. When you put the audio on the timeline, be sure to (in the Properties panel) set the Sync to "Stream", which ensures that your audio and timeline animation remain synchronized.

NBM and Flash (Flash Paper)

NW 6.5.7
NBM 3.9.1
ProxyCFG V30 (most current from Craig)
when the users in our lab try and browse to the site where their e-book is
located the area on the page where it should show the book starts black and
then goes to white. i have found that of i disable the proxy settings in IE6
that the page will load, and so does the book. i have so far been unable to
figure out the cause for this odd behavior. i have unloaded and reloaded
proxy with -cc, but the clients still cannot get to the book area.
when the page loaded i do know that this book opens in flash paper, which i
assume is part of Flash player.

ok, what i see in the packet traces are a ton of TCP resets from our NBM
server to their server, and it really looks as though the rest
originates from the workstation (i am no packet capture analyst pro by
no means). when i let the workstation bypass the proxy i don't see the
resets, as a matter of fact i only seen one TCP reset in the entire
trace when i wasn't using the proxy. i am going to try and use Firefox
to see if it might be an internet explorer issue maybe something on the
page causes IE to send the rest, i don't know for sure but this is very odd.

Flash flashes but doesn't load - help

I have put up a new site ( we bought it and reimplemented it)
and one game is not working. It flashes and doesn't load.....
Any ideas?
It's the crossword puzzle on
http://www.vocabulary.co.il

We wrote a new home page to make it work but we are NOT happy
with our solution. The original home page had security in it so if
people bookmarked the .swf files, their session was forced to start
at the highest level.
There was also other stuff but we took it all out to make it
work. Now we'll slowly put it back in.
