Flash CS3: Buttons and Button issues

Hello,
I am currently using flash CS3, and going at my 1st attempt at making a flash website for my screenprinting business. I am using action script 2. I created the buttons (Button Symbols) in flash and am having difficulty with them. When I go to test the movie I get this error message "Mouse events are permitted only for button instances". Once again, I have created these buttons as button sumbols in flash and they are all not working properly as I have a error message for each button symbol. What might be going on, and what can I do to resolve it?
5 button instances
Location is scene 1
Sourse is On Press
This is how I am coding the buttons
on (press) {
gotoAndStop(1);
6 page flash site

What you should do is take a different approach and not use code that gets attached to objects--it's an old practice that unfortunately couldn't be dropped due to the need to support old designs.
Give each button on the stage a unqiue instance name and assign code for them using their names. So if you have a button that you assign the instance name "btn1", then you can assign its code in the timeline using...
btn1.onRelease = function(){ // recommend using onRelease over onPress
gotoAndStop(1);

Flash cs3, cs4 and cs5 always not responding in windows7

I have installed adobe flash cs3, cs4 and cs5 in windows 7, but it is always not responding when I run them. While they are running normally when running on my WindowsXP. I had to reinstall them several times, the result remains the same. Is there any problem in my windows 7 ? can someone help me? thanx.

Problem is not in your windows 7 OS, since i was working CS4 and now i m working with CS5 in windows 7 only. And i feel more comfort with this new OS. May be you hardware configuration might not be support to new technology like windows 7 and Flash CS5. Beca it is need high hardward configuration

Difference between Submit Button and Button

Hi,
Please help me understanding the difference bewteen the following cases.
1) Submit Button + ActionType : None
2) Submit Button + Action Type :fire partial action
3) Submit Button + Action Type : Fire Action
4) Button + Action Type : fireAction
5) Button + Action Type : firePartialAction
My Understanding is 1st and 4th Both submits the form.
Also, please let me know, is it a valid scenario where we use the SubmitButton and still gives ActionType. What difference it makes when action type is given with submit button.
I understand that when we use 4th then it submits the form and whereas in case of 5th it doesnt.
Thanks in advance

Hi,
Thanks for your replies.
Actually i wanted to understand this in context of the issue we are facing.
We have a text field and a button besides it. We have a TAB OUT even associated with the text field which is captured using firePartialAction event. Also, the button is a SUBMIT BUTTON with a partialFireAction associated with it.
1) When you give % in textfield and tab out a popups come and load the data in a table - WORKS FINE
2) When you dont enter anything in textfiled and clicks on the button, same popups comes and loads data into the table. - WORKS FINE
3) When you give % in Text Field and clicks on the BUTTON, from JDEV, we verified that TAB OUT event gets triggered.Once that event is over, we can see the HOUR GLASS which doesnt go away. --- ISSUE
Resolution Tested : When i just remove ACTIONTYPE from button and do NAVIGATION - 3, issue is resolved.
Also, if i make that button as BUTTON and give FIRE ACTION, issue is resolved.
Now the main concern is the same combination SUBMIT BUTTON and ACTIONTYPE: firePartialAction works fine in 11i and causes issue in R12.
Please let me know your comments.
Thanks in advance

Flash CS3 Pro and Windows 7

I'm having a couple of peculiar issues with Flash on my new computer and was hoping to get some suggestions on what might be causing them. I have Windows 7 (64) and Flash CS3 Professional. Flash itself installs fine and runs fine. But two issues crop up.
The first is that, when Flash tries to update itself, it runs into multiple errors - saying that the source files have moved and so it can't update them. I install everything into C:\ and make no changes to Flash's location during or after installation...so I'm not sure how anything could have moved anywhere other then where Flash would have wanted them to be in the first place.
The second issue is actually more of a problem. Flash seems to be running some sort of interference with my internet connection. This happens either immediately after I restart the computer after installation or (this last time) a few days later. My computer boots up and, suddenly, I can't access the internet. When I remove Flash and restart, my connection is fine. I've never had this sort of problem before and I'm not terribly tech savvy so I'm not sure how to go about trouble-shooting it. I tried doing a very bare-bones installation of CS3 to see if it was one of the extra programs causing the problem and it took a few days before the net conked out - but I eventually again had to uninstall.
Any help would be greatly appreciated.

Nancy,
More information on your HP would be helpful.
Also, when you did the installation, did you first turn off all AV, pop-up blocking and spysweeping software?
Do you have your Firewall, and the Win7 Security measures turned off?
Have you updated to the latest Flash Player?
Are you installing to C:\? The exact destination folder is not important, but being on your C:\ is.
Did you ever have a trial version of PrPro on your computer? If you did, you will want to uninstall the current attempted installation, if you can, run the Adobe Clean Script CS3 a few times, maybe followed by a good Registry cleaner, like CCleaner, and then install as Administrator, with the above considerations.
After you have attempted to install, have you gotten any error, or warning messages? Those could be very important. Please post the complete text of any.
Good luck,
Hunt
PS - I assume that you posted to the Adobe (old Macromedia) Flash forum of this problem. Did the users there offer you any ideas?

CS5 Flash Brush Tool and Stage Issue

http://oi44.tinypic.com/fooozl.jpg
I have two issues while using CS5 Flash right now and it's driving me crazy.
For the first issue. (Number 1)
How do I make it so that the dots do not appear after I draw something with the brush? Whenever I draw something with the brush and select it with the mouse, it goes into a, "Dot" image that is shown in the image. This should not happen. I remember there was a setting that made it so that all objects drawn by the brush are completely solid when you select it with the mouse tool. Which setting is this?
For the second issue, (Number 2)
How do I expand the overall working stage that I use within my image? Whenever I click and drag and object to the right, it gives me a bit more room to see the overall object when I zoom out. But than it stops. How do I make the overall stage larger so I can see all of my objects that I have?
Please, someone help me out here.
Thank-You.

select the brush tool. in the properties panel is a smoothing parameter that you can adjust from 0 to 100. try 0 and see if that's what you want.

Flash CS3 Animation and Audio not timed properly when packaged.

I am trying to create a simulation with audio, mouse movement, mouse clicks and screen changes. When I play the movie in Flash, the animation and the audio are timed properly. However, when I package it, the animation falls behind the audio. I am using wavs for the audio - I've tried mp3s also.
I have a screen displayed with a mouse. The audio and a highlight indicate the next step, then the mouse moves and clicks the desired area - with a audio mouse click. The first "click" sound is pretty close to where it is supposed to be, but as the movie plays, it begins to occur earlier and earlier. So much so, that the audio starts to begin prior to animation is complete later in the move. This is not a real long demonstration, only about 1100 frames, but I notice the problem around frame 180.
Any suggestions?

IE stinks. There's a huge performance difference when playing
SWFs in
Firefox and IE. We have seen SWFs reach 100fps in FF 3.0
while the same SWF
taps out at around 40fps in the latest IE browser. It's not
Flash, it is the
browser.

Creating dynamic Radio Buttons and Buttons

Hello All,
Presetly I am working on below functionality:
I have an ArrayCollection which is like
var sampleCollection:ArrayCollection = new ArrayCollection( [ {"filterID:1", filterName:"Occupied" }, {"filterID:2", filterName:"Unccupied" }] );
Now my requirement is to create a RadioButton and a Normal Button for every element in the ArrayCollection.
So basically the UI will be "RadioButton, Occupied, Button, Button".
Can someone help me in this respect.
Thanks in advance,
Nirmal Kumar Bhogadi.

HI Nirmal,
If u want to create the radiobuton and abutton according to the arraycollection data then u follow the following principle.
Take a vbox. this is contains all the rasio button.
then do a loop to the arraycolection upto it's length.
and create the the radio button and add into vbox;
ex
<mx:Vbox id ="container"/>
script:-
privare var aa:arrayCollection = ur arraycollection;
private function addChild():void
for(var i:int=0; i<aa.length; i++)
container.addchild(new radioButton());
I think this hint will help u. if u get ur answer please give me points
Thanks

Flash CS3 ActionScript and "Test Movie" on Mac

I recently switched over to a PowerMac and Flash CS3 from
Flash 8 on a PC.
I've been on a PC forever but wanted to migrate over to the
Mac as XP and Vista and the headaches we all know about.
So, within Flash you can "Test Movie" and a little test
window pops up displaying your swf.
It has always been the case on the PC, and my friends with
Flash 8 on the Mac tell me it's the same for them, that you can be
writing in the Actions panel and then hit "Control/Apple - Enter"
and the ActionScript actions you just typed will be reflected in
the "Test Movie" pop up. In other words it the "Test Movie" window
acts as a constantly updated reflection of the latest edit to your
Flash piece, regardless of whether you've "Saved" the .fla document
itself.
This is part of the normal work flow to me. Write some
actions, edit them, when they are right, I save. But in the
meantime, as I'm writing I can keep hitting "Control/Apple - Enter"
to watch the changes of my edits and I'll see them.
Well, on my new Mac with Flash CS3, the "Test Movie" window
never updates to the latest edit. Whether with hot-keys or with the
cursor/menu selection, the window will not reflect the latest edit,
UNLESS, I close it first. If I close it, and then hit the
hot-keys/menu for "Test Movie" then it will load my latest edit
(regardless of whether the .fla is saved). So it seems that closing
the pop up "Test Movie" window prior to is the only way to ensure
getting the current edit/actions to preview.
If you write a lot of actions script, then I'm sure you can
agree that adding that "close the window" step into your work flow
is really really a headache. And, if I can't find a way around
that, sadly, I'll have to migrate back to the PC, ugh, and Flash
CS3 on it, which still acts as it always has, with "control-enter"
faithfully launching the current edit.
Any ideas? Have you experienced this.

You have to switch the focus back to the application and then
to the test window. Evidently between Flash MX04 (the one I have to
test) and CS3, they made it so that just clicking in the AS editor
window doesn't return the focus to the application. In that case
the Testing Environment intercepts the apple-enter and just
re-tests the already compiled version.
If you click the application window, then click the
actionscript window, it will recompile the swf. However I
personally don't find apple-w to close the window so
onerous.

Flash Button and IE7 issues

When I first built www.tutsheaven.com, I used Dreamweaver and
Flash buttons. Everything has worked fine until IE7 came out. Now,
you need to double click on the buttons to navigate to the next
page. Is there a fix for this problem, or do I need to change all
of the buttons on this and some other sites?

Creating Buttons and Audio issues in DVDSP3

Ok, here is what I want to do:
I just want to create a simple DVD of my commercial reel. When the DVD is put in I want music to play. Then, I want to create a button in Photoshop and use it to play my commercials.
My issues:
I can't get the music to play and have a custom button on the same menu. I can't get the "highlight" portion of the button to work with the PSD file I created for the button.
It seems like it would be so simple. What I am I doing wrong?

Hi - welcome to the discussions.
From what you have written I'd say you are using a photoshop layer based menu and if so, you won't be able to use audio on it... they don't support it.
You'll be better off creating a standard overlay style menu instead, which will support the audio.
Alternatively, create a track and use a piece of slug as the video (or a still image) and place the audio in that track. Set that to be the start up item for the disc and then get the end jump to go to a menu with buttons to play the commercials.
Kind of depends on how you want to display this item, I guess...

Sleep/wake button and artwork issues .. any advice appreciated

I recently went through all my songs and put the correct album artwork and such. After I synced everything, the artwork doesn't match up correctly on my Ipod and computer. Say if I choose a song, it will give me the correct song, but a different artist's artwork. It's not every song but a lot of them are incorrect.
Also, today, my sleep/wake button stopped working. It won't let me put it to sleep or turn it off. I can only make it come up by pressing the home button. At random times it will ask me if i want to turn it off. Actually, I just tried it and the screen started flashing. So, to me, it's like it wants to work, it's just struggling. Any advice would be appreciated. Thanks

i am not sure how to fix the sleep/wake button
the same thing is happening with mine
i believe it is some kind of technical failure
i restored my itouch hoping that it would work, it didnt
to put it to sleep i put the autolock on one minute so it staying on would not be a problem
also when i tried to put it to sleep it didnt
10 seconds after i pressed it the ipod began taking screen shots
any advice would be greatly appreciated

Flash CS3 Professional and Remoting?

I have some flash projects from 8 that use the remoting
classes and amfphp on the server side. they don't work under CS3. I
don't see any install for remoting under cs3, and just copying the
classes over doesn't seem to do it.
any ideas?

We're working on a TechNote covering this, expected next
week.
The Remoting Component and the Remoting classes are no longer
used with ActionScript 3. Rather you'd use the
flash.net.Netconnection class.
For AMFPHP users there's a third-party example here:
http://www.oscartrelles.com/archives/as3_flash_remoting_example
If you want to migrate content to an AS3 SWF you'll have to
update.
More info on this will be posted next week.
