Flash 8 Workspace Help Please

Hello Everybody,
I was playing around with the tools on my Flash program and I
screwed up my workspace. I used to see all the layers in my
timeline and now for some reason I don't see the background
anymore. It didn't ruin the show or anything but I can't seem to
figure out how to go back to how it was.
Can someone please help me?
This is what I see now:

Whereas before I could see it with the background like this:
http://www.southbeachgroup.com/screenshot_01.jpg
The two used to be combined..I could see the grey background
and all the things on the timeline.....
Thank you,
Allie

Using the flash uninstaller/ problems/HELP PLEASE

Look I'm very ill and I can only concentrate so long so
please don't think I'm a jerk. Nothing has gone right as of late,
i'm worried that if i do it wrong flash will not work at all and I
won't be able to fix it. I only can go on the computer certain
times because of headaches.I need to know three things. When using
the flash uninstaller I'm thinkiing it uninstalls all flash
products on your computer? I have two flashplayers that are named
flash player helpers, do they get deleted? I have firefox and IE
browsers, I need to make two downloads right because one is for
firefox and one is for IE? Then Do you need to install the flash
version NPSWF_32 for IE or just instasll the newest flah for IE?
just need to know because I have computer issues and flash now
doesn't work on certain sites. Why would flash stop on some sites
on both browsers? They are two different flash,right. THANKS to
anyone who answered this

The Flash Player is available in two technologies..
1. ActiveX control.. Used by all Windows versions of Internet
Explorer ONLY
2. A plugin. Used by all other browsers and all other OS
Yes, you do need to install both if you use IE and other
browsers.
You should NOT have to worry about uninstalling, unless
something goes wrong with the install, which does happen sometimes.
But for millions of people a day the install goes just fine and
they have no worries.
I don't know what a 'Flash Player helper' is. YOu should NOT
need to worry about the plugin and/or activeX control files
themselves.
Launch IE, go to
http://www.adobe.com/go/getflashplayer
and do the install, then quit IE.
Then launch Firefox and repeat. That plugin install will be
used by anything else on your machine that requires the plugin
(except maybe for google chrome.. i haven't tested that)
You should be OK with the basic update install. If you get
stuck you can open a support webcase and we can guide you. Or in
some cases (especially if troubleshooting can be a challenge) we
recommend taking your machine to a local professional. But that's
fairly rare.

Sound not working in Flash Builder. Help please.

So, here's my situation. I keep trying to put an mp3 in Flash Builder to try and make sounds happen, but each time I do it only plays the beginning of it and stops midway through. My music is working at 44100 Hz with a 32 bit rate (tried changing it to 16, but Audition won't let me). Here's my code.
package
          import flash.display.Sprite;
          import flash.events.Event;
          import flash.events.KeyboardEvent;
          import flash.media.Sound;
          import flash.media.SoundChannel;
          import flash.ui.Keyboard;
          [SWF(width = "550", height = "400",
          backgroundColor = "#FFFFFF", frameRate = "60")]
          public class SoundThing extends Sprite
                    [Embed(source="../sounds/try1.mp3")]
                    private var Try:Class;
                    private var _try:Sound = new Try();
                    private var _tryChannel:SoundChannel = new SoundChannel();
                    public function SoundThing()
                              stage.addEventListener
                                        (KeyboardEvent.KEY_DOWN, keyDownHandler);
                    public function keyDownHandler(event:KeyboardEvent): void
                              if (event.keyCode == Keyboard.SPACE)
                                        _tryChannel = _try.play();
I'm not sure what the issue is. Please help me. Thank you!

I would say that either the OP needs two tabs somewhere to make his headings and line items align,Exactly what I was thinking. As this sample code illustrates, the b will not line up under Column#2. Perhpas OP needs to use a Formatter or the printf method instead.
    StringBuffer sb = new StringBuffer();
    sb.append("Column#1");
    sb.append("\tColumn#2\n");
    sb.append("a");
    sb.append("\t");
    sb.append("b");
    System.out.println(sb);

Flash Gallery - Need Help Please!

Hi, I want to make an image gallery like this (see image) using Flash. The gallery uses an .XML file to dynamically load the images, so all you need to do is size your images and then add them to the appropriate folder, then edit the .XML file. The thumbnails scroll too. Can this be done in Flash? Does somebody know where I can find an .XML file that will do this.
I didn't want to use a proprietary gallery solution, because they require you to have their logo on your gallery page etc. and I'd like to design the page to my liking.
I have little programming experience on how to do this so I was hoping for some help. Are there files around that will allow me to do this? I am also open to other suggestions that might be better, but I'd like the look of my gallery to be similar to the example I've posted.

The search results should be your best bet for finding advice/examples/suggestions as to some different ways to build a thumbnail gallery.

Flash Drive Unreadable - HELP PLEASE!!

"The disk you inserted was not readable by this computer." Story of my life.
I have a 32gb Micro Center brand flash drive. It's completely full of pictures, videos, documents, and files. Every time I stick it into my Macbook Pro, it tells me its unreadable. It gives me three options: Initialize, Ignore, Eject. I don't want to mess around with anything until I know what's wrong and what I should do. I've tried putting my flash drive into PCs, but it's still unreadable. I always remove my devices safely so I'm not sure what the problem is. The flash drive is in excellent condition. Maybe if anyone knows how to talk me through the Initialize option, that'd be helpful, cause frankly, I don't know much about softwares and such.
I've heard of people sending out there flash drives and getting them fixed. Is this an options? I'd only do it if it was guaranteed to work without losing any files. Is there anyway I can troubleshoot it at home and fix this?
I will be checking this post often to reply to any questions or answers. It's urgent that I access my flash drive!

Initializing it will format it and you will definitely lose everything if it isn't lost already.
Not being readable on either a PC or Mac is a bad sign.
It may be worth taking it into MicroCenter and see if they have any ideas. Most recovery services are rather expensive and Google is your friend in finding such a service.

Troubleshooting Flash DW-Need help please.

While working on a project, I suddenly found that I was no longer able to view my flash content once loaded to server. Locally, all content looks fine. I've been converting .wma files to .flv so I thought it was my conversion process but I ran some test on existing flash projects done in the past and those do not show on server either when placing into new DW index files. So, it appears my flash files are not the problem, it appears to be how Dreamweaver is embedding the file. By looking at the code below, it doesn't appear to be embedding at all and all the additional code is completely new to me. None of my previous Dreamweaver files imported .swf files with this code. Can someone please take a look and point me in the right direction? If this is kosher, I have a different problem but I'm stumped. I've been fooling around with this for hours. Here is an active link in addition to the code below. Just a junk file but acceptable for reference. http://www.polarpitcher.com/testing.html

Flash picture, need help please

Hi
For a website I want to make a picture of a map to be used so
that when someone clicks on a certain area then they hare
hyperlinked to a certain web page. i have the picture, how do I cut
it up, using Flash (I'm told) so that this will happen?
Thanks

depends on what format the picture is in - was it drawn with
flash tools or imported as a raster image?
you may not need to cut it up if you want to simply place hot
spots over it that act like buttons -
this is easily achieved with "invisible" buttons - meaning
button symbols with only a shape in their
HIT state.
If you need to "cut-up" an imported image then you should
really use your graphics editor
(photoshop) for this. But if you don't then try breaking
apart the bitmap in flash and using the
lasso tool to select sections.
hope this helps.

Run diffierent movie formats in Flash Player. Help Please

Hi,
I want to run different movie formats upload by user in
Flash Player. Something like U Tube functionality
1 - Is there any player that run different movie formats like
MP3, AVI etc directly into Flash Player. No need to convert?
Another way is to convert different formats into FLV and
than run into flash player.
Is there any good FLV converter out there which converts on
the web during user upload.
Or user upload movie that is than converted to FLV but part
of web application not desktop application.
Any code or any tutorial to covert into FLV?
Platform is windows server 2003 and application is ASP.NET
2.0
Thanks

Basic Flash Page, Script Help Please!

So, I realize I'm an idiot, but I'm trying to teach myself flash because I need to make a basic flash page. I am going by this tutorial:
http://www.flash-game-design.com/flash-tutorials/basic-Website-flash-tutorial.html
I have modified it (going step by step mind you) and now that it's over, instead of the page loading normally, it just goes from page to page without clicking on a link at all. Just goes from home, to about, to artists, etc.
I get no errors so... I'm a little lost.
I've uploaded the swf for reference.

I always say to doublecheck the instance names... you'd be surprised how often some says they're okay when they're not. Sometimes they are using library names, not instances names, and something they simply did not assign instance names.
Your description of how the buttons are related to a movieclip isn't clear, but if the traces I mentioned come out, then the buttons are working.
I wish there was a way I could see the full set of messages for this posting (like the old system)... at this point I have to guess what I remember seeing... Do you have frame labels in your section mc that match the calls in your buttons functions?
For the home page issue... If it disappears it is likely going to another frame. If a command says gotoAndPlay... and you're already there, it will advance in the timeline even if there is a stop in that frame (the stop is used up)
Here's a routine that worked for another posting as far as getting the file to upload in the forum...
1) zip the fla file
2) rename the zip file to have a txt extenstion

Return of the Mosaic of death? Safari/Flash problem? Help please

I'm having issues with my fairly new Macbook Pro 15-inch. The problem has only come up with Safari (5.0.1) running so far; never a problem with Firefox (though it could just be that I use Safari more by far).
Here's what it did to an NFL.com gamecast page.
http://www.flickr.com/photos/52459320@N08/4984712908/
It kind of reminds me of the Mosaic of Death on my old iBook.
And sometimes the issue remains as a "ghost"once I close Safari.
http://www.flickr.com/photos/52459320@N08/4984114073/in/photostream/
Refreshing the page does no good. Closing it leaves the "ghost." I've also notice I get the "you have to restart your Mac" message about once a week.
A weird thing: The mosaic flickers a lot. I tried recording it with a Quick TIme screen recording. But every time I start recording the problem stops! And it returns once I stop recording.
Thoughts? Questions? I'm curious what the problem could be.
FWIW, I first noticed a weird flicker like this when I would switch from a VPN/screen sharing to Safari.
Thanks for your time.

Just to follow up, in case others have this issue:
Genius Bar guy suggested I try turning off "Automatic Graphics Switching" (System Prefs>Energy Saver). Hadn't thought of that; Googled it when I got home and, sure enough, there's another thread indicating tis might be the problem:
http://discussions.apple.com/thread.jspa?threadID=2566276&messageID=12350542#123 50542
We'll see how it goes, but I'm thinknig this is on track.
