Flash CS3 Remoting

Hi to all,
I have some questions about actionscript 3 in flash cs3.
I'm a developer and I develop application and website in c#,
flex, and flash.
Currently I would like to port some complex website to flash
cs3.
Why in actionscript flash cs3 there isn't a recordset class
or arrayCollection class ?
Another issue is that if i use Flash cs3 to manage old flash
project that use for example the recordset classes , this classes
are not present in the default package.
Another strange think for example is that the package fl.data
is not present for default , why I need to specify is in the global
classpath.
I try this very strange so I hope that someone can explain to
me this issue.
Bye

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.

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:
http://www.mcalister.cc/ddd/flv/index.html
Read this which linked me to above, no dice:
http://livedocs.adobe.com/flash/8/main/wwhelp/wwhimpl/common/html/wwhelp.htm?context=LiveD ocs_Parts&file=00003495.html
Here is my config:
SERVER running FMS2, Windows Server 2003, IIS6, offsite, but
am able to RDP in.
File structure:
C:\Program Files\Macromedia\Flash Media Server
2\applications\ForRentFlash\streams\small\Cosmo_Small.flv
C:\Program Files\Macromedia\Flash Media Server
2\applications\ForRentFlash\main.asc (sole content being:
load(components.asc))
Where: ForRentFlash = appName
small = instanceName
Flash CS3 development locally & testing movie produces
WHITE SCREEN.
Component Inspector for FLVPlayBack AS3.0 dropped on stage:
Source Content Path:
rtmp://1.2.3.4/ForRentFlash/small/Cosmo_Small.flv (of course with
correct IP)
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
server.

Try placing your flv files in a _definst_ directory.....
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!

SMIL 2.0 with Flash CS3?

Hello Folks,
does anybody know if Flash CS3 fully supports SMIL 2.0 with
transitions and stuff like that?
Thanks a lot.

I was able to get the as2 remoting stuff working in cs3 by
downloading the sources to the components then placing them into my
classes folder. I hope that helps.

Flash CS3: Help me make my movie play, please!

URL: http:schoolsignsonline.com
This is an electronic sign company, so I'm trying to put a Flash movie of one of their signs onto their preexisting site. No sound, no skin, no controls, just the movie, looping endlessly.
I imported an .avi video (from a PC) from the client into Flash CS3 (on a Mac), and made sure my stage was the same size as the file parameters.
Saved the file. Tested the movie in Flash. **The movie plays just fine**. It's a picture of brightly colored balloons ascending on a black background.
I publish the movie.
I copy the .fla and .swf into the flash folder at the root level of the site on my local server.
I go into Dreamweaver CS3 to insert the movie using their Insert>Flash into the div I've created for it on the index page (which uses server side includes for the nav & footer only - no PHP involved - so each page has an .shtml extension).
I test the movie in DW by clicking on the green arrow in the properties toolbar. Nothing but white. Movie doesn't play, or if it is playing, it's only white.
What the heck. I save the page, letting DW generate the script.
I upload the revised index page, the flash folder (with the .swf and .fla files in it), and the Scripts folder to the site on the remote server.
Go to a browser. Nothing but white where the movie is supposed to be.
I asked about this on the Adobe DW group on Yahoo Groups, and they really didn't know, thinking it was a Flash problem. One of them said the movie couldn't be found. Dang it! This is a script that DW generated when I placed the movie into the page! I don't know anything about JavaScript (yet), so I'm not going to muck about in the code to break it.
BTW, the HTML for the page with the movie on it no longer validates - I hear this is typical of a CS3 Flash insertion by DW.
Can anyone PLEASE help me figure out what I've done wrong? What other info do you need from me?
Thank you in advance.
Theresa

For the Flash-generated html file, you basically want to copy the script tag in the head section....
<script src="Scripts/AC_RunActiveContent.js" type="text/javascript"></script>
into the same place in the head section of the real file.
and copy the entire section of code in the body starting with and including...
<script language="javascript">
if (AC_FL_RunContent == 0) {
.... all the stuff between....
</object>
</noscript>
into the div you mention
And in the case of what's shown above, you would want to have the AC_RunActiveContent.js file in a Scripts folder.

Problems viewing my Flash file remotely

Hello
I am in need of someone who can tell me where I am going wrong.
I create a movie on imovie. I take it to Flash(CS3) and publish it as an swf file
I then install that file in Dreamweaver.
All is good I save and preview it locally. the file's root folder is images and same remotely
I upload all including the HTML page and when I view the page, the place where the file is is blank.
I have uploaded this many times and it just wont work.
I have never been lucky with these types of files so I know I'm doing something wrong.
Your help is very appreciated.
thank You
Rob

Sorry still not sure what you mean about a link. I have followed all the advise I could find on youtube and otherplaces about creating a flash file Flash CS3, inserting it on Dreamweaver CS3 and I up load it to my host/server as I have done to every other html, jpeg, bitmap or file successfully before. last night I created a swf of the slideshow I want to have in my index page using Dreamweavers 'sldeshow' feature thinking that this one cannot go wrong and I can preview it on Safari and Firefox at home but when I upload once again all the files that make up that sldeshow(just to make sure) it wont play on my site.
Could my serve/host have anything to do? That is the only think that I never considered because I have certainly checked and re-checked every aspect of this...
Anyway, once again, i thank you for your time.
very Frustrated!

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.

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

Thanks all,

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.

Error embed / insert Flash CS3 9.0 swf in Acrobat 8.1.2

Goal: embed Flash swf file in Acrobat pdf.
Software: Flash CS3 9.0, Acrobat Pro 8.1.2, Mac OS 10.5.2 (all updates applied as available 3/27/08). If it matters: Quicktime Player 7.4.1. All swf files are associated to open with Flash Player 9 (9,0,115,0).
Hardware: PowerMac Dual 2GHz G5, 9.5 GB RAM
Error Description: This error is seen on 2 out of 3 PowerMacs; the 3rd PowerMac will inexplicably work. Here is what is done to receive error: Open pdf document in Acrobat. Select Movie Tool from Advanced Editing Toolbar, choose swf file from Desktop (pdf file is also saved on Desktop to eliminate network considerations). All defaults are retained in dialog window, when "OK" is pressed, status message "Initializing authoring system" appears and remains indefinitely. "Cancel" is pressed and produces following error message window: "Cannot create the movie annotation because the movie could not be loaded. This can occur if the file cannot be found or the URL is unreachable (make sure proxy server settings are correct)."
Adobe Support claims Leopard incompatibility with embedded Quicktime 7.3.1 (I have updated to 7.4.1). Also, AS recommended file association of swf to Flash Player exclusively. Have taken all actions recommended...still have problem.
Anyone have any ideas?

I believe that the latest version of QuickTime which you no doubt have installed does not support the latest version of Flash (9.0). Since Acrobat depends on QuickTime for multimedia in Acrobat 8 Professional, this feature breaks.
What needs to happen is for the next version of Acrobat to support Flash directly, not using QuickTime.

Quicktime movie export from Flash CS3 is skipping frame.

When I try to export Quicktime movie from Flash CS3, the
resulting mov file is skipping frames. i.e.: The movie is showing
frame number 1, 2, 3, 4, 5, 6, 7, 7, 7, 10, 11, 12, 12, 12, 15
etc...
As you can see the frame number 7 is repeated 3 times and
frame 8 and 9 are nowhere to be found.
The last configuration I used is 960x540, Sorenson video 3
medium quality, 25 fps, keyframe every 25 frames. 6400 kbits/s.
I tried various configurations,with different codecs and even
with keyframe all frames and I always get simillar problems.
Anyone have an idea what is going on, and how to fix this?
Thank you,
Olivier.

The QT exporter in Flash is honestly my least favorite
feature - not the feature itself but how it
works (or how it doesn't work in some cases). For me it is
almost unusable unless you have a very
short timeline, small stage, lower frame rate - like AS
generated effects or something - otherwise,
for true frame accuracy to video output - it is not reliable
enough and not fast enough for any real
world production environment.
So typically for me - I love SWF2Video (www.flashants.com) as
it takes any SWF and makes it into an
AVI that is frame accurate no matter what the frame rate is -
quite incredible - enough so that I
always felt it should have been bundled with Flash (as well
as Wacom tablets).
Harmony is an incredible product - as is SOLO and TBS (Toon
Boom mStudio) - each of those programs
are dedicated animation programs designed for output to video
- Flash has a lot of hats to fill and
it was never really designed for animation to video even
though many of us have found it suitable
for all intents and purposes as an animation program for full
production.
But all in all - the quicktime exporter doesn't really
deliver how we would expect it too I am sorry
to say - I only hope it works as well as it does on the Mac
(Mac users could always choose to export
to Quicktime Video but not PC users).
For now if I am exporting to video I keep it all on the
timeline or nested in Graphic symbols or use
the SWF2Video tool.
hope this helps.

How to add special characters in Flash CS3

Hi, i need the help of some flash guru… these last weeks we were working with cloversites.com to build a community website… the interface is awesome etc etc however we in Malta have eight special characters (GCZ with a dot on top of them and an H with a second strikethrough). Those at cloversites wrestled with the problem, they could see the characters on their computers but when they entered the text in the site, flash couldn't render the special characters. Here is their message:
I am extremely sorry about this, but we were unable to add in your characters. We attempted to add them into our software but they did not work. We worked on it all morning and realized that we need an extra add-on for our keyboards. Adding special characters is nothing new to us and have answered this request for many of our international users. For some reason, the Maltese characters did not work in our sites. For example, our "option-G" is the copyright symbol so it will need to be transferred over to international characters.
Unfortunately, we thing that this has to do with Adobe Flash CS3. The software allowed me to embed the characters, but we were unable to render them on the web. Which led us to think it had to do with the version Adobe is running and its inability to render the text through its software on the web. None of the characters worked on the web, and it looks like its just an Adobe bug. So we are able to type and use the Maltese characters, but Adobe Flash is having trouble with them.
Does anybody know of any possible solution?

How to create a comment form in Flash CS3

I am trying to create an add comment form in Flash cs3. I
have the background design and the text input areas and sub mit
buttons. But how do I get the submit button to add the comment to a
different area in the same flash file? My inputs and buttons are on
the left side of the stage and my display comments is on the right
side of the stage. How do I connect the two?

The user types something into a text input space and when the
user then uses the submit button, you want that same, user entered,
text to display in another, different, text area? If that's the
case then make that second text area a dynamic textfield and set
its text property to the text property of the input text
space.

How to creating a web banner in Flash CS3?

Hi all,
I'm very new to Flash CS3. Can anyone give me a step-by-step
instructions on how to make a banner for a web-site? Or a link were
i can find step-by-step instructions?
I have googled it but found no real help. I have tryed
"Youtube" hoping to even fine any one (most likely a child) with
directions on how to do this. Funny thing is that it seems most 8
year olds are better at Flash CS3 than I am & i'm 45.
Anyway, if you can help please make it simple or for the
simple minded. :)
Thanks to all!!
BJ

I understand your pain...I just posted a similar request
earlier today for help but finally figured it out on my own. I've
done lots of searching online and used Adobe's Flash Classroom in a
Book and also took an online ed2go class and I still don't have a
good handle on Flash. Nothing seems to give clear step by step
directions on animating images for web banners. You just have to do
a lot of trial and error. These websites may help if you don't have
time for the classes:

Flash cs3 unexpected file format ... how can I open this .fla??

Hi there,
Someone sent me a .fla file that I can't seem to get opened in my Flash CS3 program. I think it's because it was made in CS4 which isn't backwards compatible with CS3.
So, now I'm wondering if there is a way I can open the .fla file in CS3. Better yet, is there some kind soul here that could possibly open the .fla in CS4, and save it as a CS3 and send it back to me?
I would normally just ask the guy to do this himself but he left on vacation today and I haven't had a chance to try and open the file until now.
Thanks
Mike

upload your fla and post a link.

Flash CS3: AS3 - ReferenceError #1065 Variable is not defined

I have developed several actionscript classes. Two of these
classes are associated with MovieClip objects in the library. The
MovieClips have their Linkage Base Classes set to their respective
package and class locations and when I check the Linkage settings
(using the check mark icon) Flash CS3 reports that it can find the
associated classes for both MovieClips.
When I check the syntax of my code there are no problems, and
when I test the Flash movie no Compile Errors are shown. Yet, in
the output window I get the following error:
ReferenceError: Error #1065: Variable class1 is not defined.
ReferenceError: Error #1065: Variable class2 is not defined.
I have placed class1 and class2 in the above error messages
to represent the classes that are associated with the MovieClip.
Am I missing an import command somewhere? I have the base
class path properly set in the preferences of Flash CS3.
Thanks,

It appears that this issue was due to some of my classes not
being marked as public. I had been following examples from AS2 that
had the classes marked as dynamic without a private or public
identifier. Apparently, AS3 assumes all unmarked classes are
private.
