Flash Asset Options xtra

I have just downloaded and installed the Flash Asset Xtra for
windows. I think I'm missing the Flash Asset Options xtra because I
get a warning message now when Director loads the movie with flash
files in it that says " Use of the Flash Asset Xtra in authoring
mode is restricted unless the Flash Asset Options Xtra is present
in your Xtras folder". The is a Flash Asset Options Xtra in the
right folder up it belongs to the previous version of the Flash
Asset xtra. My resent download of the xtra didn't include it. Any
clue on what I'm doing wrong or where I can download the new
version of the flash asset options extra? Thanks

You need to open that configurations folder and then the
folders inside.
You have to manually move the new files in each of the
folders to the
corresponding folders in the Director folder.
Its very tedious. There are a lot of files to move. Don't
just move
folders, you will actually remove files that were in the old
folders.

Flash Asset Xtra update (10.1.1) : authoring becomes sluggish with Flash buttons

Hi,
I'm using DMX2004 to update an old project (version 10.1)
I wanted to replace old ugly buttons with Flash components
ones, which I
did (I've got around 20 buttons on the scene, all duplicated
from one
castmember). Everything was working fine and speedy, apart
from some
script errors.
Then I discovered there was a Flash 8 Asset Xtra update which
I decided
to install as I was in a quite early button integration
stage.
From then on, authoring became sluggish, Director hangs for
about 30
seconds on each script error.
I did a test from scratch (putting buttons on the scene) and
it seems
having a cast member for each button on stage helps but it
will crawl
anyway with 20 buttons.
Do I need to switch back to old Flash Asset version ? Is
there something
to do ?
Thanks in advance.
PJ

I too get very sluggish behaviour in authoring when I put a
Flash component sprite on stage.Even with a 3.5Ghz machine with 3G
ram!
I also have this issue, posted here:

Flash asset xtra 9

Hi,
I want to integrate Flash 9 (ActionScript 3) compiled files
into a director project. To integrate flash files I need the flash
asset xtra. But with the current version of the flash asset xtra, I
can only integrate Flash 8 compiled files. Is there any update of
the flash asset xtra? Or any other way to import flash 9 compiled
files?

For the Flash IDE 8 is current, although there is the Flash 9
public beta.
For the player however, 9 is the current version and has been
around for a
while now. This is needed for compatibility with all the Flex
apps starting
to appear, and Flash 9 once it's finally ready. I think they
need a better
(shorter) cycle between when a new player comes out and when
an update to
the Xtra appears.

Flash Asset Xtra

HELP!
Since Adobe goes out of its way to hide things I can never
locate the Flash Asset Xtra which allows the latest Flash to play
within Director.
I found that link on here once but also can not seem to find
it now.
Thanks

Thank you Mike,
That is the newest and helped me a bunch. Took me all day to
find this solution but it fixed all the problems I was having
playing .swf files in D11

Problems after last update of Director+Flash Assets

Hi All
I posted a question a week or so back about major problems
with an existing project after I updgraded with the last update.
Aftre the update Flash buttons no longer fired events and runtime
errors ocurred when you created 2 sprites from the same cast member
etc etc.
I took this up with Support and to my great surprise they
didn't seem to know anything about it. After a few days I I
recieved the following reply:
You have basically updated to the new Flash Asset Xtra and
all Flash component V2 will not work any longer. I can confirm the
Flash asset Xtra for Flash 8 doesn't currently support Flash
components.Unfortunately I don't have any info if this will be
changed in the future as it looks it has been done on purpose.
I believe its best option is to replace all components with
standard buttons or if he has Flash he can create his own buttons
or movie clips in there and bring them into Director
This seems to suggest that they no longer support the Flash
components that are shipped with Director. Great huh?
I'd be interested to hear what you all think. I think it
stinks - well that's the polite version!

reformated and all fine

Flash Asset Upgrade via Director

Hi All,
I have been using Authorware for over 10 year to make user CD's. I have been fighting Flash support issues for a few years now.
I have Director 11.5 too. Now Directors Flash Asset has been updated to support Flash CS5 and AS3 (Actionscript 3)
I took the Xtra and renamed it to the Authorware version's name. I now have support for Flash CS5. It might work on your projects. My projects required some minor tweaking. I had to clean up the code to do away with global variables and use of things like the _root object reference. Some of the Flash file's code were developed with Flash 7 on up and Actionscript 1.
I haven't checked out all of the features Flash CS5 support and the level of the Flash Asset support usable in Authorware (I have tested Flash 6 SWF's with video and text with variables).
I am amazed that the this product still works in Vista and Win7. Just another tribute to the old Macromedia team.

How do I stop Flash assets being transcoded?

Now that there's no DL between Premiere CC and Encore CS6 how do I get Flash assets into Encore without them being retranscoded?
I can get Encore to not transcode DVD and Blu-ray assets that I've created and exported from Premiere, but not Flash ones.
Obviously I don't want to recompress a compressed F4V file.
If there's no way of telling Encore not to transcode it, what's the best format for exporting 1280 x 720 assets from Premiere CC that originated in a 1920x1080i sequence?
Thanks!
Mark

Hi Stan,
I've tried my best to see if I can get Encore not to transcode a flash file, but I think that, since there's no flash preset (unlike the DVD and Blu-ray presets), I just can't fool it.
However, here's my workaround: I output the flash file any old way: using the DVD or Blu-ray assets, whatever. And then in the output directory it creates I can replace its created assets (in the sources folder) with my own simply by renaming and replacing my own encoded assets with the ones Encore created for me. There's a visible quality improvement doing it this way, and no unnecessary re-encoding.
Of course this is all a bit old-hat anyhow as we'll be doing it the HTML5 way with some Edge program or another any minute now! But for the moment....
Thanks for your help and suggestions!
Cheers
Mark

Flash, what options a available?

Hello,
First, I love my IPad, but as I run a small business, I need to access sites that require me to have flash player. A lot of my suppliers websites use flash.
My husband gave me an iPad for Christmas (lucky me!!), to keep me away from the computer. This hasn't been hugely successful, as some emails I can't open, websites I cant use etc etc etc.
So, does anyone have options as to what I can do? I realize that apple put restrictions on certain things, and from a business point of view I get that, but for my business....... It's a wee bit frustrating to say the least.
Any advice or direction would be hugely helpful, thanks

I have had my iPad since the 19th of December, and like you am frustrated over what I can and can not see on my iPad. I have been researching "jailbreaking" my iPad and have found some VERY interesting information. However, I do not know...yet... If "jailbreaking" my iPad will negate any warranty or support going forward. And for those "people" who are offended by posting a question, I have one thing to say..."there are no stupid questions, only stupid people".
I thought the reasons for "discussions" were exactly that, a discussion...to help others. If you are that selfish, then why are you on the discussion board to begin with?

Skinning Components using Flash assets?

I'm trying to learn how to skin components using assets that I designed and laid out in Flash. I was quite comfortable with the Flex 3 / MX method of skinning but I'm now trying to push myself into the new Flash Builder / Spark way of doing things. I'm lacking info on the best way to go about things though.
Most tutorials I see are based on Illustrator or Photoshop design integration. I've tried to use Flash Catalyst but it seems that I can't utilize specific assets built within Catalyst and inject them into my existing Flash Builder application (unless I'm wrong?).
Ultimately, what I'd like to be able to do is to design my elements in Flash, import it into Flash Catalyst, set up specific buttons and components and then import them into Flash Builder as individual SparkSkin elements and then assign those elements to components within my application. I don't want to use Flash Catalyst to build and lay out the entire project. I just want it for building out individual components. I'd rather lay out the Flash Builder project on my own.
So here are my questions...
Is it possible to set up individual components within Flash Catalyst and import them into Flash Builder as SparkSkins? If so, how?
How can I design an asset within Flash (for example, a big graphic that is a background element) and then apply it as a SparkSkin?
How can I keep the Slice 9 properties of an element that I designed in Flash?
If I'm just not "getting it" feel free to let me know!
Any tutorials or resources would be greatly appreciated!

I got the a 'round-about' answer that I was looking for in this link: http://help.adobe.com/en_US/flashbuilder/using/WS6f97d7caa66ef6eb1e63e3d11b6c4d0d21-7fc7.h tml

Have Design Standard, want to add Flash. Options?

Hi. I am interested in working with Flash. I was planning on adding it when upgrading to CS5, but for all I know that could be the fall, and I would prefer to get into it asap.
As far as I am able to tell I have three options -
1) $799 Upgrade to Design Premium - is there any way to pick this up for the difference in package price? I understand doubling the upgrade price encourages Premium sales up front, but, c'mon! I have seen copies on eBay for slightly less, but not much.
2) $699 Flash Standalone - Pointless, as an extra $100 also buys Dreamweaver and Fireworks.
3) Buy Design Premium, Sell Design Standard - I have seen (apparently) legit copies of Design Premium on eBay for ~$750, and it seems as though copies of Design Standard sell for ~$500. This is the least expensive option. Is there any reason I couldn't sell our copy of Design Standard? I imagine it can be 'deactivated' or maybe the license can be transferred? I don't know, I haven't dealt with this before.
Is there is anything I am overlooking? Any options I am unaware of? What would you do? Any help is most appreciated, thanks!

I have the same issue and haven't found any real shortcuts regarding pricing. However, in my case, I'm willing to wait for CS5, be it April or October, or whatever, and upgrade at that time.
Your third option may have some difficulties. If you upgrade to Premium I don't believe you can go out and sell your Standard edition, legally. Licenses usually are transferred during an upgrade - you don't pick up an "extra" license when upgrading. That's my laymen's understanding.

Please don't cross-post in a bunch of forums. Also when
adding code to a post, please use the attach code button. That
keeps the formatting and makes it easier to read. Your code is far
too long and way to unformatted to really understand quickly.
I don't know why you would need a CDATA node to get the
registered symbol. If the XML file you are working with is saved as
unicode (UTF-8) the symbol should come across just fine. Just
putting the UTF-8 at the beginning doesn't tell whatever program
you are using to save as UTF-8!
Do you know how to make the registered symbol? On windows it
is ALT -0174 (use the keypad for those numbers).
Once you've got the symbol in your XML the next step is to
check if Flash is loading it correctly. When you are in the testing
environment go to the Debug menu and select List Variables. The
trace window will show all the variables -- and there are probably
a lot! Search/Find something close to the symbol and see if the
trace window shows the symbol correctly. If it does then Flash is
readying it correctly and if it isn't showing you have problems
with your textfield. If it isn't showing correctly then your XML
file isn't UTF-8.
If it is textfield problems I wouldn't know what to do since
it is inside a component. Post back with your findings.

actually need to install AIR, Adobe Drive, Device Central,
Extension Manager, Media Player or Media Encoder to learn and use
Flash?
I intend to use Flash to animate some of my artwork for
stand-alone presentation and/or broadband-only web. I do not expect
to be producing low resolution content for either the web or mobile
devices.
Flash is totally new for me. After watching a Lynda.com video
(Deke McClelland’s entertaining “Illustrator CS3
One-to-One Advanced Techniques”) I started to play around
with the simple animation effects available in Illustrator. I was
so hooked!
I returned my CS4 Design Standard upgrade to buy Design
Premium immediately.
The CS4 suite install on my XP system was not pretty. In the
end, the only way (that I could) avoid the frozen “checking
system profile” progress bar was to copy the entire first
install DVD to a hard drive.
One final question: even with new video drivers, neither of
my XP systems will handle OpenGL. Being unable to use the cool new
Photoshop zoom/pan tool is sad, but it won’t cause me to
switch to Vista. Will I be missing more important/essential
features in Flash CS4 without OpenGL?
Thanks,
Felicia Lovelett
