Flash authoring in WYSIWYG style is the innovation designers need!

I'm just wondering why Adobe didn't upgrade Flash professional to the same idea as flash catalyst. It would have been more successful and innovative because most of the bashing Flash is getting(CPU clog, bugginess, etc) partly because of some developers coding faults would have been reduced.Imagine a design mode where you build all the possible creative experience you can think of in a wysiwyg style and the codes are authomatically written including data binding capabilities, pre-made components, custom components, camera, etc. I believe Adobe flash platform has grown and mature for this. Adobe should kindly think about this.
The idea of working in catalyst/MXML could have been done with flash professional since the codes would be converted from MXML to actionscript anyway. Luv Adobe

task like this. i recommend learning via www.lynda.com, it inculdes
a v.good videos and books.
Hi Rafiq,

Question about text rendering in flash authoring tool and in flash player.

Hi everyone, i have found that:
1. There has a subtle difference between a static text field in flash authoring tool which has been set to use the device font when it's got focus(state that user can type character in) and lose focus;
2. There also has a subtle difference between when it is being rendered in flash player and in flash authoring tool.
(Note that the key factor here is setting the text field to use device font.)
I want to know what causes this difference. Thanks in advance!

both in flash authoring tool not flash player.

Graphics using graphic API are drawn below the loaded content created using Flash authoring tool

Here is my problem.
I am developing a Analog Dial component. Here , I am
extending UIComponent and loading a swf file generated using Flash
CS3 authoring tool ( the swf basically has the circle and needle)
and adding the loaded content as child of Dial class.
Next I use Graphics API to draw the major and minor ticks on
the dial.
As mentioned in the curveTo method of flash.display.Graphics
class documentation (
http://livedocs.adobe.com/flex/201/langref/index.html),
if you are using graphics api and also loading content created
using the flash authoring environment the vector graphics will be
drawn underneath the loaded content.
Well , Is there any way to make the graphics appear on top of
the loaded contents?

It appears that this may be accomplished more easily if I do something similar to the StrobeMediaPlayback implementation. Looking at the StrobeMediaPlayback source code it looks like Adobe has done something a little different than their ControlBarPlugin, placing the controlbar and root media element inside separate MediaContainers and then adding those containers to the display list. Is this recommended over using the frameworks ParallelElements? If so, is communication between the control bar and root media element still a matter of just updating the target reference via metadata?

News "FLASH"... Nancy O (the legend) ... i need help again

I am trying to put a banner on my website for my exam.... It will have to have an image with logos flashing across and stopping for a few seconds before carrying on.and out the other side. I have looked up everywhere to see how this is done but with no joy. There is lots of info out there but it is not working for me. In Flash i have no problem creating a banner image with various logos moving from one side to the other or even changing the image from one shape to another or bouncing it up and down the stage from one side to the other. I can even stagger the timelines for the logos to make them enter one after the other. The one thing i can not get to grips with is making the images stop or pause after they have entered from one side before exiting the other side. I have followed step by step many youtube tutorials but the authors are wizzing through them too fast and despite folling every step second by second, i am missing a vital step somewhere. Would someone please let me know step by step (and please assume i am an idiot when doing this) the sequence i must follow from the very begining to the last step when i publish.

Noooooooo........ When i saw your email notification i had high hopes of getting the answer i have been trying to work out for two days....but no problem ..your still a legend ha ha ... you got me out of a big hole in this project the last time... but thanks for taking the time to reply, i will try the other forum.

You'll get better answers in the Flash Forums for whichever Action Script ver you're using.
Sorry. I don't do much Flashy stuff anymore. As far as I'm concerned, when Apple iDevices quit supporting Flash, it became a dying web technology.

Styles and the combobox

Hello all, I'm currently working on a presentation using
combo boxes.
I'm fairly new to flash and am just learning how to adjust
some flash's inbuilt components.
Specifically the ‘combobox.’
What I want to do is change the font and corner radius
displayed by a combo box so that it will match the rest of my
document.
Looking through the help section it talks about "styles" but
I can’t seem to find any way to change the styles of this
component, or indeed any thing that may point me in the right
direction.
Can anyone help out?
I am using flash pro 8
Cheers
Fletch

Fletch-
I know this is not the best way but to change the font of
your combobox use the following.
my_component.setStyle("fontFamily", "yourFont");
For more information check

Also check the following site for what other properties you
can set

As for the corner radius this is set by the skin of your
component. You will need to skin your components. Info on skinning
somponents is found at

No Flash Player on Metro style IE 10?

Now that Microsoft has claimed not allowing plug-ins on Metro style IE 10, what it means for future of Flash?

I wouldn't say that. We believe Flash will be very useful and popular for the forseeable future on both mobile and desktop platforms. Check out our announcement today regarding Flash Player 11 and some of the great new functionality it provides developers and users.
While it's true that the Metro styled version of Internet Explorer will not host plugins, the desktop version of Internet Explorer 10 (along with other browsers such as Safari, Firefox, Chrome, Opera, etc) will.

Content Holder How do you get css class to appear in the wysiwyg editor? The only option is "clear class".

Need an answer to my question: How do you get css class to appear in the wysiwyg editor? The only option is "clear class".

Liam,
If it's not supported there, then where can I access the css and do you have any recommendations for a simple app to change the css style?

when you play the CD in your laptop on your home screen a Cd should pop up under the name of the album. Than when you open itunes it will probly say something like "let this CD download" or something like that. If it doesn't than automaticlly while the CD is importing to your itunes a page will pop up with a progess of the CD download.
Hope that helped.

I got new hard driver for my MacBook I don't have the cd but I do have flash drive that has the software I need help because when I turn on my laptop it shows me a file with question mark how can I install the software from the flash driver?

I got new hard driver for my MacBook I don't have the cd but I do have flash drive that has the software I need help because when I turn on my laptop it shows me a file with question mark how can I install the software from the flash driver?

Hold down the Option key while you boot your Mac. Then, it should show you a selection of devices. Click your flash drive and it will boot from that.

Itunes says my new laptop (windows 8) isn't authorized to play some of the purchased songs that are already on my iphone (I previously synced it with my old laptop). It says it will delete them from the phone unless I authorize the computer.

This results in an endless loop where I authorize it, and then get the same warning. I have already tried deauthorizing all the computers on the account, and then reauthorizing the new one yet the problem persists. Also, only three devices are associated with the account. I can't find the solution anywhere so help will be welcomed. All songs were purchased through the itunes store and it appears to be older ones that are targeted for deletion; however, these older ones are still available for purchase in the itunes store so that's not the problem. Thanks.

Hello, ted_marx38.
Thank you for visiting Apple Support Communities.
The most common cause for this issue would be media present that is purchased with another Apple ID. When prompted to authorize the computer it may show a different Apple ID. If this is the case, the computer will need to be authorized for this Apple ID. The article below will walk you through the process of verifying if that is the case or correcting the issue if not.
iTunes repeatedly prompts to authorize computer to play iTunes Store purchases

There is nothing wrong with your Dell, it will work fine with any MacbookPro. I have been using Dell displays for over 12 years with many different Mac models. I have two 21" Ultra Sharp displays working side by side to design a Keynote presentation right now.
The issue your having is with the way Keynote takes control of the video output to both displays, it sends the presentation signal to one and the presenter display to the other, this is set up in;
Keynote preferences > Presenter display.
If you want to show a wesite or another app on either display, use application switcher:
press the the command key on the keyboard, then the tab key; a row of applications will show what applications are running, choose which one you want to show. Use command > tab to return to Keynote.

In FrameMaker 9.0.3 and 9.0.4, I cannot set tab stops for a style in the Paragraph Designer.

In FrameMaker 9.0.3 and 9.0.4, I cannot set tab stops for a style in the paragraph designer. Here are the steps to dysfunction:
1. In Paragraph Designer, for Tab Stops, click Edit. Edit Tab Stop dialog box opens, and the Paragraph Designer dialog box closes.
2. Type value in New Position box.
3. Click Continue. The Edit Tab Stop box closes.
4. Open Paragraph Designer. No tabs are recorded.
Discussion of a similar problem occured on this forum in June 2010. At that time, the resolution seemed to be to upgrade to 9.0.3. Has anyone else encountered this problem with these versions?
Thanks.

Hi, Arnis,
Brilliant! Thanks so much. I only looked at the later discussions of that thread, which seemed to indicate the problem would be solved by an upgrade to 9.0.3.
