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,
Sean

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

Help! Can't play online videos in Adobe Flash CS3/ CS4.

Hi everyone,
I am not able to play online videos in Adobe Flash CS3/ CS4. Reinstalled, changed computer, the same. But I could play just a month ago. Any idea what could have happened to my Adobe Flash CS3/ computer or any other source please?
Many thanks

Thanks for the help guys.
Clearing the cache didn't work, but removing the Youtube cookie and restarting firefox did. I can now switch to Hi-def again
Cheers :)

Customizing DataGrid component in Flash CS3 using AS3

Can anyone please explain how to customize the DataGrid
component in Flash CS3 using AS3???
How do you remove/change the grid lines for the rows and
colums?
How do you remove/change the border?
My day has been lost searching for this answer. Flash
Documentation is worthless and Google finds nothing with regards to
AS3. ASDGRH.
Thanks in advance,

I hope you've found a resolution to this by now, but I just noticed the discussion title when posting a captioning issue.
In a nutshell, create a listener on your FLVPlayback module with a VideoEvent.SKIN_LOADED event. You'll also need to set the showCaptions in your FLVPlaybackCaptioning object to true. Apparently, if the captions are set to false when the player object loads the skin, the captions aren't recognized and your captions toggle will require an extra click to activate the captions.
Here's the link to another discussion on the same topic with all of the details:
http://kb2.adobe.com/cps/402/kb402452.html
Also, have you had any issues with the caption button in the FLVPlayback skin not showing up? That's my current issue. Here's the discussion for it:

AS3 - 1) Countdown Timer to the designated Date for Live-Broadcast-Event yet to take place; 2) Detect End of Live Stream on FLVPlayback with FLVPlayback.isLive = true - ActionScript 3 - flash cs3 cs4

Hi folks,
Ronny's here again on forums, having particularly 2 (two) questions/problems to resolve:
1) Countdown Timer to the designated Date for Live-Broadcast-Event yet to take place
2) Detect End of Live Stream on FLVPlayback with FLVPlayback.isLive = true
attached is the .zip file (as3_Countdown Timer_ver 1.0.1_by Ronny Depp.zip) with all flash source files containing:
a) The FLash Source (file: timer_module.fla) - (FLA flash source file - Flash CS3 Professional, Flash Player 9, actionscript 3.0)
b) com.othenticmedia.utils.dateAndTimeManagement package including 2 .as actionscript 3.0 Class files.
       i) com.othenticmedia.utils.dateAndTimeManagement.DateAndTimeManager Class in the said package. (file: DateAndTimeManager.as)
       ii) com.othenticmedia.utils.dateAndTimeManagement.CountdownTimer Class in the package. (file: CountdownTimer.as)
c) The compiled SWF file version of this Application's blueprint. (file: timer_module.swf).
What i need to confirm is: ........................................................ see the next post of mine. (for Problems need to be Resolved)

Problems to Resolve:
Problem#1) - Countdown Timer to the designated Date for Live-Broadcast-Event yet to take place.
Problem#2) - Detect End of Live Stream on FLVPlayback with FLVPlayback.isLive = true;
Problem#1 Description:
I need to pinpoint the Logical TimeSync Exception, i am still unable to figure out. That is I'm using a webservice in my Application to Synchronize the Time with the actual ET (eastern time) with accomodation of auto-adjustment for EDT GMT-4 (eastern daylight time) & EST GMT-5 (eastern standard time), times. I am using the zipcode: "10012" to pass it to the Web Service in urlRequest object, to retrieve the Current ET eastern time according to EDT & EST time settings for Manhattan/Brooklyn areas or others within New York, NY 10012.
Currently the Web Service is returning accurate date/time based on local EDT GMT-4 daylight time.
Is there some defined set of dates for EDT & EST times for New York region that I can check for to ensure the correct Dates/Times for Eastern Time in New York area ??? I am using NY zipcodes because i am sure to get correct ET values.
The Major Problem Part: is I need to correct the time by 2 seconds or approx. 2 secs, some millisecs.
When I retrieve the Time Value from WebService, it lags behind for 2 seconds as compared to DateObj i create using computer's local time, on my Windows XP Service Pack 2 with Automatic Updates turned-on. And I'm sure about my Windows will be having latest updates for Time Management already installed. I also added the 2 secs. to the TimeSync(ed) Date to make correction to this Date obj.
I call my custom fucntion addSeconds(dateObj:Date, secs:int) to add 2 seconds to the Date by Converting Seconds to Milliseconds.
Please comb through the as code in files attached and Help Me Out !!!
Problem#2 Description:
Secondly I need to Detect the End of Stream state while using FLVPlayback component, an rtmp:// live Stream from FLASH MEDIA SERVER.
I need to Play a YuMe Post-Roll Ad when Steam Finishes/Ends.
Live Broadcast Stream Event starts every night on Wednesdays & Saturdays exactly at 10:59 PM EDT GMT-4.
Live Events only Streams/Broadcasts the stream for 50secs. exactly. When [playback stopped] it plays a PostRoll Ad and after the CountdownTimer again comes back to life. The Next upcoming Event is calculated & the Countdown begins until Next Event's time/date is reached.
Here is the code on the frame 1 on the MainTimeline: (rest of the params like source, volume, skinAutoHide are Set using Property Inspector for FLVPlayback instance on Stage)
//myStream instance of FLVPlayback is on the Stage
myStream.isLive = true;// Frame 1 Actions in the FLA
myStream.addEventListener(VideoEvent.COMPLETE, onEndOfStream);
myStream.addEventListener(VideoEvent.STATE_CHANGE, onState);
myStream.addEventListener(String(VideoError.NO_CONNECTION), onStreamError);
myStream.addEventListener(NetStatusEvent.NET_STATUS, netStatusHandler);
/*if(myStream.stopped){
     trace("tracy: "+myStream.state);
} else if(myStream.state == VideoState.STOPPED){
     trace("tracy: "+myStream.state);
function onStreamError(event:VideoError) {
     trace(event.code + "\n\t" + event);
function onState(event:VideoEvent) {
     trace(event.state + "\n\t" + event.toString());
function onEndOfStream(event:VideoEvent) {
     trace(event.state + "\n\t" + event.toString());
function netStatusHandler(event:NetStatusEvent):void {
     switch (event.info.code) {
          case "NetConnection.Connect.Success":
               //connectStream();
               break;
          case "NetStream.Play.StreamNotFound":
               trace("Stream not found: "/* + myStream.source*/);
               break;

Problem in displaying Arabic text in flash cs3/cs4

Hi All, I'm creating one website. I have to display dynamic xmlize arabic text in flash. I have done it using flash cs3/AS3. But problem is that when text displays in flash it is not rendering as expected. Some gaps comes in the characters. But when I open my xml in browser, arabic text displays correct.
Is there any way to do it in flash cs3 or Flash cs4 using player 9? It would be really great if anyone can give me solution on this. Thanks
Chandrakant

You have to do it yourself - I don't have a ready solution. Just look into documentation how StyleSheets are used and see what properties work best for you:
http://livedocs.adobe.com/flash/9.0/ActionScriptLangRefV3/flash/text/TextField.html
http://livedocs.adobe.com/flash/9.0/ActionScriptLangRefV3/flash/text/StyleSheet.html
Also, with embedded fonts you need to play with TextFormat settings and AntiAliasType
http://livedocs.adobe.com/flash/9.0/ActionScriptLangRefV3/flash/text/AntiAliasType.html
In addition, on my machine even if I don't emebed fonts - Arabic works in Arial, TImes and others.

Windows 7 and Flash CS3 / CS4

I run Windows 7, clean install with Flash Professional CS4 (also CS3). But both are working so extremely slow it's just not usable. So I tried both running from within the Virtual PC XP Mode and both are as fast as they were in XP.
I tried to run both in compatibility mode but it doesn't help. Only way seems to run it in a Virtual PC/XP Mode. If I do run it in Windows 7 it's simply so unresponsive.. if you click it takes 20 seconds to wake up the program and react to what you clicked at. I know many more have the same problems but I didn't see any solution. Can't imagine Adobe ain't aware of this huge problem.
Hope someone has some helpfull tips.

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

Getting Flash CS3/CS4 AIR1.0 app to work in Flash CS5

This is a question in regards to Flash CS5 but since it's specific to AIR I'm posting here.
I have a Flash CS3 AIR 1.0 project and I can't get it to compile in Flash CS5. If I recall I installed some extension for Flash CS3 to be able to create AIR apps. It was an Adobe extension.
The app involves two SWFs. The first is the main app, Main.fla, the second is a window panel template, Panel.fla. The Main app would compile and include the Panel.swf which it would instantiate and load into new windows to create a paneled app.
I was able to open Main.fla and publish in CS5 with no problems. The profile even says AIR 1.0 in the properties panel, although when I click edit it shows AIR 2.0 selected in the dropdown, and there is no option for another version of AIR -- which version of AIR is actually being created? Not important as long as it work...
The Panel.fla on the other hand I cannot get to compile. The profile still says AIR 1.0 in properties but the dropdown in the publish settings says Flash Player 9, and when I compile it breaks on any AIR references, for instance:
1119: Access of possibly undefined property nativeWindow through a reference with static type flash.display:Stage.
I have this classpath:
$(AppConfig)/ActionScript 3.0 AIR 1.0/Classes
But apparently that is no longer good. I've looked in all the Flash CS5 directories I could find and there is no such dir.
The issue here is that Panel.fla is NOT an AIR app, it's a SWF which runs in an AIR app. How should get this working?

I changed the profile of both to AIR2.0, and it still shows AIR1.0 in the properties panel. I'm able to publish the Panel.swf now but it also generates an unwanted panel-app.xml -- unwanted because panel is not an app, it's merely a SWF to run inside the main app.
Is there a better way? And why does it still say AIR1.0 in the properties panel?

CS4 AS3 components

I am using CS4. I have created a number of CS3 components in
the past without problems. Now I wanted to create a CS4 component,
because there are some Player 10 specific scripts. The component
works well if I don't set any parameters. However, when I try to
set parameters
1. they are not listed in the parameter panel,
2. when i place an instance of the component on the timeline,
I get a huge number of errors referring to the component as an AS2
component.
I never experienced that before. Does anybody know what is
different now?

Flash CS5:
     ActionScript 3 - 3 categories (Flex, User Interface, Video). 33 components in total.
     ActionScript 2 - 3 categories (Media, User Interface, Video). 36 components in total.
Flash CS4:
     ActionScript 3 - 2 categories (User Interface, Video) 31 components in total.
     ActionScript 2 - 4 categories (Data, Media, User Interface, Video) 25+ components in total.
Sorry that I don't know how exactly how many components are in Flash CS4 AS2. Couldn't find enough images (I don't have CS4, I use CS5).
Anyway, I think that Flash CS4 AS2 has the most components, with the most categories. However, whether you should use CS5 or CS4 and AS3 or AS2/AS1 really depends on, not how many components are available, but what you need. Chances are some components you will never touch. Also, sometimes you will need a new feature only in Flash CS5, or be asked by your future employer to write an application in the other scripting language.
So really, it depends what you think. If I were you, I would download a trial of both CS4 and CS5, and play around, see which option you like the most. Oh, and be prepared to be forced to use another option by your employer at some stage.
Hope it helps

[ANNOUNCE] Adobe statement about Flash CS3 and future components

All,
Since the CS3 launch there have been many questions regarding
components. What happened to my favorite components, for example.
Is Adobe going to be developing any more components?
After much discussion Richard Galvan has posted a blog
regarding this topic. I know it's been a long time coming, and we
appreciate the patience.
http://blogs.adobe.com/rgalvan/
If you have any questions please post them to Richard's
blog.

1) Every post I see that you have made recently reflects on problems that are most likely associated with your computer that are causing problems with your software. 1st thing I would look at with your problems (and I do not mean just this one) is a conflict with another program, ei antivirus software, etc. Trying turning off programs one by one, relaunching your CS programs, and see if you can find a culprit.
2) With that kind of attitude you are only going to receive just as friendly/helpful solutions. Just because SOMEONE ELSE doesn't solve YOUR problem does not mean that THEY are ignorant.

Windows Flash CS3/CS4 Installing Fonts

Hi,
Can someone tell me where Flash gets its fonts from. Does it use just the system fonts or can it see the C:\Program Files\Common Files\Adobe\Fonts folder?
Thanks

Flash CS3 w/ AS3 - Arrow key navagation help!

First, I'll appologize in advance for my lack of experience
in Flash. I've used the product for about 2 weeks now to put a
presentation together so my knowledge is still pretty thin.
Here's my problem:
I've created a Flash presentation that I hope to be able to
navigate using only the arrow keys and enter -- no other keys. The
reason being that this will be run using a remote control. The
navigation works fine, but I seem to need to hit the "tab" key in
order to first set keyboard focus on the first item on the stage. I
have to do this every time I jump to a new menu (new keyframe in
the timeline) and new button objects are displayed onscreen.
How can I set the keyboard focus on an item on the stage
without having to hit "tab"? I've tried stage.focus(),
button.setFocus(). I've tried playing with the FocusManager. So far
I've had no luck (I wish I had tracked everything I had tried so I
can list it).
I also tried creating a blank stage with three button
components. In that example, I simply could not use the keyboard at
all.
Any thoughts or help would be appreciated.

try stage.focus = mc
(where mc is the instance name of the first menu item)
Do you ever actually click on those item you are trying to
set focus too? If your nav is really all just arrows and enter then
I would think you should take a differnt approach...lots of ways
you could do it, such as setting up an array of values and having
the arrow keys move you through the array and enter would perform
it's action based on the current selection.

Flash CS3/CS4 Sound Problem

Hi,
I am trying to create a soundboard and I have all my buttons and stuff, the only thing left is to put the sound files in. However, I have tried adding them to the library and dragging and dropping them over the HIT option like I usually do, but when I export the swf file, the sound file sounds terrible, it crackles and sometimes stutters a bit. I have tried setting these sound files to mp3 and raw in adobe options but with no luck. I am using actionscript 2.0 if that has anything to do with it. Also, I need these files embedded, not just linked. Please let me know any suggestions you might have.
Thanks.

In the Export Settings dialog, go to the Flash tab and look at the Images and Sounds section. Check the Audio Stream and Audio Event settings. It's a common occurrence for the sound to be set to a low data rate and monophonic. If so, click both of the Set buttons and adjust the compression, bit rate and quality settings.

Mysterious issues with the pen tool in flash (CS3 & CS4)

i have searched tirelessly for the answer to this problem and still have no answer. when using the pen tool to create shapes, occasionanally when i click to add the next point the line segment jumps over to a previously added point. also, sometimes when i add a point, the point mysteriously starts moving on the screen all by itself. i have used illustrator for many years and it's pen tool is perfect in so many ways and it is counterproductive to have to jump to illustrator to do any pen tool work and then import it into flash
anybody have this issue or know why this might be happening?

Hello
I have the same issue. I think it is a bug.
Sometimes when I delete points with <delete> key on keyboard, flash also deletes randomly frames on locked layers with all of its contents.
You have to start tricking over these issues, if you do not want to be nervous. Like using a one key -shortcut substitute of Ctrl+Z
Sometimes it's happening, because there are not perfectly overlapping shapes on each other on one layer, .
Sometimes because there are a parenting issue, flash sometimes breaks, if you draw to deep under the "root" of the
project.
Or if you have a lot of vectrice on one layer. But I am just guessing too.
