How to build a custom Flash CS3 component
I just googled in the hope to find some resources about how
to build custom Flash CS3 components, but nothing turned up. I also
couldn't find any info on Adobe's Flash developers center.
Do you know of any resource that sheds some light on this
subject?
If not then I'll have to try to find my way around custom
components by learning from the ones that came with Flash CS3 I
guess.Flash CS3 has been out for a few weeks. At this point, your
best bet is Amazon books or Barnes & Noble. I've read a few
books that should shed light on the subject. Otherwise, you'll need
to wait a few more weeks while people start hashing it out and
posting it to blogs and other sites. -
Hey gents (and ladies),
I've downloaded the Flash CS3 Trial and my 30 day trial has
expired. When I go to uninstall it all I get is the setup
application to uninstall Flash CS3 components. I would like to
remove the whole thing! Not just components. Thanks.Hi, yes, I have an idea. I don't know what platform you are
on, but I use a Mac, and just yesterday I was having problems with
Photoshop CS3 due to the trial I had installed. Nothing worked!!!
Then I found a script on the Adobe site that removed ALL the
CS3 files for me and made things squeeky clean. Here is the link

Hope this helps.

Using Flex components within Flash CS3
I'm new to Flex and I enjoy all of the components that it has
to offer, but I am wondering about their availability within Flash.
My plan is to make a highly animated and interactive menu and
I have reached a point where I have to ask two questions:
1. Is is possible to use any of the Flex components within
Flash CS3?
2. If the first is not possible, then if I make my menu and
specify "containers" within the Flash file then is it possible to
populate these "containers" with Flex components by making the
Flash (.swf) file of my menu into a Flex component itself?No, Flex components cannot be used in Flash 8.

Third-party Components not loaded in Flash CS3
Hello,
I am using Adobe Flash CS3 on Mac Ox. I have downloaded and
installed several components throught he Extension manager wich
reports they are correctly activated. When I launch Flash the
components are not listed in the Components panel. I have looked
for the .swc files but they are not present in Application >>
Flash >> First RUn >> data..I don't know if the problem
relates to the Extension manager or to flash.
Any help is much appreciated.
Thanks,
FrancescoHi,
When you open a new file in Flash CS3, you got the option to
choose either AS2 file or AS3 file, the components are different on
each one. -
Flash CS3/CS4 (AS3) Components
On the gskinner blog (
http://www.gskinner.com/blog/archives/2007/05/variable_scroll.html)
there is a posting about an update to the new components for Flash
CS3/CS4 which would allow the components to be skinned easier (I
think). Can from Adobe comment on why this update has not bee
rolled into the Flash IDE itself?
Thanks,
SeanProblem 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

Import components to flash cs3
I would like to know if it is possible to import for example
the UIscrollbar, as used in flash8 or flashMX, to Flash CS3. I find
the new version of that scrollbar component a bit difficult to work
with. I mean, changing the skin colour and all. Besides that, my
site uses the old components, so..
Please let me know :)
Thanks in advance,
FatalD
ps..i hope i picked the right forum for this one :)Try to re-encode the mp3 with a proper encoding software like
audacity or similar. -
Adding Easing to Flash CS3 AS3 UI Components
I am working on an AS3 project where I am forced to use
stock, out-of-the-box Flash CS3 AS3 UI Components.
Is there any way to add easing to the UIScrollBar [ and
the other components that use the UIScrollBar like the List,
ScrollPane, TileList ]
If anyone has a solution I will name my next child after you!!
Diane [ aka Eugenia ]Hi,
Thanks for your reply.
Does "unlikely" mean "definately not" or "you are not sure" ?
As I stated .....
"I am forced to use
stock, out-of-the-box Flash CS3 AS3 UI Components."...
So "making my own objects" is not an option.
Thanks again for replying,
Diane -
How do I use a Flex swc in Flash CS3?
My engineering team has used Flex to create a nice little swc
for me to use inside of Flash CS3, but now I'm having trouble
finding any documentation on how to actually import it. Placing it
in the Components folder doesn't work, as it's not recognized by
the Components window (either as an AS2 or AS3 swc). Is it even
possible to use swcs from Flex in Flash? Thank you very much for
the help.

Flash IDE Components in Flex 3 Design Mode. Can they be visible there?
Hi,
Im exploring Flex to get a grasp on its concepts and am currently looking into building components in the Flash IDE. Though i guess its likely that when you're more familiar with Flex you build your components in Flex, like said Im exploring its concepts and like to know where and how the Flash IDE fits in its workflow.
I made a simple Flex Component in the Flex IDE, which shows up fine when I run the Flex project. But it does not show in Flex Design Mode.
I have exported the component from Flash as an SWC and added the SWC to the Flex library path. The symbol in the Flash IDE extends UIMovieClip. Now I read in 'Using Adobe FlexBuilder 3' (p.67) that the Flex Components panel only lists visible components, according to the documentation 'components that extend UIComponent'.
Note that my question is about being visible on the stage in Design Mode, not in the component panel. As UIMovieClip doesnt inherit from UIComponent (and the UIComponent class doesnt seem to be available in the Flash IDE), is this also the cause that the Flash IDE component is not visible on the Flex stage in Design Mode?
Can someone confirm, or deny this?
Regards,
MarcelHi Latha,
thanks for your feedback. Reading it back though, Im still not sure whether Flex components build in the Flash IDE (using the Flex Component Kit for Flash CS3) can be visible in Flex 3 Design Mode.Maybe you can be a bit more specific and save a lot of Flex beginners a lot of headaches.
I understand that MXML components can be used in Design Mode. I also understand that if your component is AS you have to create a Library and link that to your project to make them visible in Design Mode. I also understand that Flash Builder 4 does "support rendering of UIMovieClip objects which are in library (swc) and added to the project build path"
This actually doesnt answer my question really. Does this mean there is no way to render Flex components build in the Flash IDE (using the Flex Component Kit for Flash CS3) in Flex 3 Design Mode?
Regards,
Marcel -
Problem with FLVPlayer in Flash CS3 (need to save out as Actionscript 3.0 SWf file)
I am using Flash CS3 and am trying to publish a SWf file that
makes use of the "FLVPlayback" component. I need for this SWF file
to be published as an Actionscript 3.0 file, so I have set my
publish settings to Flash Player 9.0 and Actionscript 3.0, but keep
getting an error as follows:
"WARNING: The component 'FLVPlayback' requires ActionScript
2.0."
Has anyone encountered this?? I am doing something wrong? I'm
pretty comfortable within Actionscript/Flash 2.0, but am only
beginning my first steps into the relam of CS3 and AS3.
I have also attached a screenshot of the files that represent
my FLVPlayback component (or so I assume). (see this link for
attachments
http://www.actionscript.org/forums/showthread.php3?t=140886)
Thanks all,
Mark

Gotcha. You must have started the document in AS2, then
changed the
publish settings. Each version of the language has its own
version of the
FLVPlayback Component (written in the relevant language).
Start over and
compare two compleley new FLA documents: make one for AS3 and
one for AS2.
Open the Components panel and note the differences between
the two. There
are a different set of Components depending on the language
chosen for the
document. Drag the FLVPlayback Component from the Components
panel in an
AS3 document, and you'll have the AS3 version.

Flash 8 component not working in flash cs3
Hi, I have a flash 8 component (well, it was written for
flash 8 but it claims to be compatible with flash 7+).... which I
am trying to get to show up in the components panel in Flash CS3
trial version. I have the flash CS3 extension manager, it shows up
in there, but it doesn't show up in my components window in flash
cs3. What do I need to do to get the flash 8 component to show up
in flash CS3??Hi,
When you open a new file in Flash CS3, you got the option to
choose either AS2 file or AS3 file, the components are different on
each one. -
Creating metadata in Flash CS3 and reading it in AS3
Is there a way to store metadata in a library symbol in Flash
CS3, and then read it in AS3? For example, I want to have the
following code run:
m_Metadata = 'You're cool!'
I need this data before I can play the movie clip. Is there a
way to store this? I've been trying to find a solution, but it
looks like I'm just going to have to load in a separate XML file
with the data.
Thanks!Unfortunately there's no simple way to add instance level
code in Flash CS3 or CS4 with AS3. This is a significant authoring
tool deficiency in my opinion.
Making a component... depending on what you want to do, there
can be a lot of overhead. There may also be some very flaky/buggy
behavior in Flash CS3 with custom components if your experience is
anything like mine. However, for basic metadata, try this:
1. Select the Symbol in the Library
2. Right click, choose Component Definition...
3. In the Parameters data grid you can add
parameters/properties. Make sure you set the "Variable" field as a
unique identifier for each parameter. These are the properties
you'll use in AS at runtime to retrieve the values.
4. Now on each instance on the canvas you can go to the
Parameters tab and enter custom values for each parameter.
5. At runtime, you should be able to access the values via
instance_name.variable_name
I believe that will work without actually creating a
component class and making it functional. -
More FMS & Flash CS3 not loading FLV
I consider myself an intelligent fellow, but getting Flash
CS3 to stream vis FMS is killing me. I've read the posts here where
people are describing similar situations. I've read several
websites that show kinda similar methods of getting this done, but
none are working! The docs on FMS & CS3 are like in an infinite
loop "see AS2.0/3.0 documentation on how to stream videos" &
when you get there "See FMS documentation on how to stream
videos"!!
I've read this & did it all, no dice:

No matter how I go about this, I end up with: FAILED TO LOAD
rtmp://1.2.3.4/ForRentFlash/small/Cosmo_Small.flv.
Port 1935 was opened on the firewall of the remote

Here is how mine are set up:
C:\Program Files\Macromedia\Flash Media Server
2\applications\aniridia\streams\_definst_\V032v.flv
I don't use any .asc files, but I'm fairly certain that they
would be in the root of the " aniridia " directory (which is the
application), rather than in the " aniridia\streams\_definst_ "
directory.
My videos would not stream until I put them in the _definst_
directory.
I use an xml playlist with my flv player to call my videos.
My stream syntax looks like this:
rtmp://mydomain.com/aniridia
Don't reference the flv file name.
Good luck!
