Flash CS5 dropping actionscript cuepoints

I've just upgraded from CS3 to CS5 and have discovered an annoying issue with cue points. When I open an existing FLA that has a movie with actionscript cuepoints and try to replace it with another movie (an updated version), Flash drops all my cue points and I have to re-enter them. Is there some way to prevent this?

The best way to preserve your cue points is to export the cue points to an xml file by clicking the "Export Cue Points" button located above the cue points. After you change sources to your new video, click the "Import ActionScript Cue Points" button and select the xml file you just exported.

Help: Embedding Japanese Fonts in Flash cs5 is actionscript

I have been trying to embed "小塚ゴシック Pro M" font via export for actionscript and I haven't had luck so far. I did the font.registration method but still no luck I had no problem doing this in CS3 and CS4 but CS5 must be different. Anybody got this to work?
TIA
Gerry

I got it. For those who might have the same question.
register font and use the name you used to export to actionscript like:
Font.registerFont(Font2);
to use, create a variable for the font:
var myFont = new Font2();
to apply:
urTextFormatvarhere.font = myFont.fontName;
I did this to apply alpha;
urTextFieldvarhere.embedFonts = true;
urTextFieldvarhere.antiAliasType = AntiAliasType.ADVANCED;
Hope this helps!

Where is flash remoting in actionscript 3.0\flash cs5

hello everybody,
i have been looking throught all the available tutorials on this site including flash cs5 help, actionscript 3.0 developer's guide, learning actionscript 3.0 and i can't seem to find anything relating to flash remoting (i.e how to retrieve and send data to and from a server like coldfusion). has it been removed?
i have solutions that were built with flash and actionscript 2.0 that uses data retrieved from coldfusion server for it's operation, i was thinking of migrating them to actionscript 3.0, but it keeps saying that the classes, packages or interfaces like mx.remoting, mx.rpc can not be found. even when i create a new flash document specifying 2.0 as the docuent type, it is still not compiling,. does this mean i have to revert to flash 8\actionscript 2.0 because that is what i built the programs with. please any information or guidiance will be highly appreciated.
thanks to you all.

To do it in AS2 you need just install the remoting classes again. You can either copy them fro your old install or get them:
http://drupal.org/node/258605
Scroll down a bit and you'll see a link to the as2 remoting classes: Remoting_FlashCS3.zip
In AS3 there are a few ways. Some people have made classes for it, or you can use the built in methods of NetConnection. Here's a couple examples of that:

Is it possible to Embed Youtube Widescreen windows full options on Flash CS5 AS2 Website?

Good Day
Does anyone know How to Embed a Youtube widescreen Video window on a Flash Website, i'm using Flash CS5 and ActionScript 2???!!
I've seen several video tutorials on youtube and other websites about this, but they only work with a window of 480px for 385px (4:3),
which doesn't allow the fullscreen option on the lower bar of the video, because the player still had a silver bar not a black one !!!!
This is the one i've been using!!! http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=wfU5Hj3uKZ4
I would like to use a widescreen window (16:9; 16:10), like the ones youtube curently uses, 360p; 480p;720p, like in this case:

I would very much appreciate any help you can give me!!!
Thank you

There are two options here that I can think of..
1. Preinstall AIR on their machines, and use AIR files. That will work IF AIR is already installed. Flash projectors have no ability to control the file system in this way, but AIR does.
2. Use a Director projector. There are Director Xtras that can control the file system, and you can embed a SWF in Director. So you wouldn't have to recreate the SWF content, you'd only need to have Director and learn some basics about using SWF and making projectors.
That's all I can think of.

Loop then stop Flash CS3 vs Flash CS5

I recently upgraded from Flash CS3 to CS5. I'm creating a banner in Flash CS5 using ActionScript 2.0. I want it to loop 3 times then stop. I'm using the same code as I did in CS3. When I view it using Flash Player, its fine but my client is saying it loops continuously when they view it. Has the code changed since CS3? Here is the code I'm currently using:
ON FIRST FRAME I ENTERED:
var count;
if(!count){
count = 0;
THEN ON THE LAST FRAME I ENTERED:
count += 1;
if(count == 3){
stop();
I'm Action Script challenged, so please be specific. Thank you in advance for your help.

Hello kglad,
Thanks for confirming that the script was fine. Seems like there was something wrong with the swf file, not the script. Thanks for ruling out the script as the problem source.

Flash CS5 Update 11.0.1 Code hint not working

My Flash Cs5 I was Update
update say : version 11.0.1
but i view About flash : 11.0.0.485
and when I write some code : Code hint not working??
anyone answer for me about this Update version??

Hi,
The binary (Flash.exe/Flash.app) were not modified in the update. Thus, the binary version is still 11.0.0.485.
As for the code-hinting not working, what code are you using? Note, that the _mc, _xml, _array, etc. syntax no longer triggers code-hinting in Flash CS5 in ActionScript 3.0 documents. If that's not what you are doing, can you please provide more information about what code you are using?
Thanks,
Nivesh

Flash CS5 movie with 2167 frames doesn't render properly when published

I have a flash animation (.fla) that I am creating in flash professional CS5.
I have not finished development but have hit a snag with completing it, because when the movie has 2166 frames or less, it publishes to swf correctly, but when I add additional frames (2167 or more), upon publishing to swf my 3D animations and text do not display in the published swf file.
I know in the older versions of flash there is a frame limit of 16000 frames, but is there an even smaller frame limit in flash CS5 of 2166 frames or less? Perhaps this limitation is only apparent when using the new features like 3D animation?
Adobe, is there a bug fix for this? Any suggestions?
Thanks

Here's the workaround I used to fix this if anyone experiences a similar problem:
Problem:
When publishing from flash CS5 with actionscript 3.0 to swf, publishing takes a long time and 3D tweens and text do not display in the published movie.
Workaround:
File > Publish Settings
Select the Flash tab
In the script dropdown, change the option from Actionscript 3.0 to Actionscript 2.0
If you have any 3D tweens, a warning will appear - "3D tweens can only be supported in ActionScript 3.0 or higher. 3D properties will be permanently removed from all tweened objects if the current publish settings are changed. There is no undo for this operation."
Click Ok
If you have any TLF text, another warning will appear "TLF text can only be supported in ActionScript 3.0 or higher. TLF text will be permanently converted to classic text if the current publish settings are changed. There is no undo for this operation. Undo history will be cleared."
Click Ok
Any text that was converted to Classic text may have changed in layout & position
review and fix all your text
Save the file.
Publish to swf and test
File > Publish Settings
Select the Flash tab
In the script dropdown, change the option from Actionscript 2.0 back to Actionscript 3.0
Add your 3D tweens back in
Publish to swf and test
If anyone has a better solution I'm still interested to hear it, as my workaround doesn't allow you to use TLF text.

ACTIONSCRIPT 3.0 for AE and Flash CS5.5?

Good evening, I have no idea what's actionscript but I think it's cool. I'm willed buying a book but I have one here ( Flash CS4 The missing manual by Chris Grover) which has 7 lessons about Actionscript 3.0. Does it work for AE and Flash CS5.5? Do I have to buy another book? Which book you recommend? Thanks a lot again.

Do you mean After Effects? AFAIK, the file formats that After Effects outputs wouldn't support ActionScript.

Flash CS5 Greeter.cs HelloWorld.fla text type Dynamic not an option? ActionScript 3

Learning to program in ActionScript 3 for Flash CS5 Pro,
http://help.adobe.com/en_US/as3/learn/WS5b3ccc516d4fbf351e63e3d118a9b90204-7fdf.html
The tutorial says that the text box, should be text type Dynamic, but the only choices are TLF and Classic
Since the Classic closed the Instance name box, I chose TLF text.
When I test the scene, I get a blank screen, instead of a "Hello World" greeting. Is there a way around this?

I had the class file in the wrong directory, and so now it works! Thank you for looking.

Flash CS5.5 crashes when exporting movieclip for Actionscript

Hello,
My Flash CS5.5 crashes when exporting movieclip for Actionscript (select movieclips -> modify -> convert to symbol -> check export for actionscript). I think this only happens when Photoshop CS5 is open.
Does anyone know how to fix this? I'm using Win7 64-bit. The only open programs are Flash, Photoshop, and Firefox.

Oddly enough, I opened up Flash again, today, just to see if it was still the same, and it had worked. Everything seemed normal, I opened a new document and started working. Then, out of nowhere it stopped responding again. So I waited for it to respond, it didn't. I closed it from the task manager, and now it's back to the original problem of crashing when I try to create a new document or open an old ontrie
Update: I tried the cleaner, as you'd suggested. Followed all the steps, but to no avail. Think it may have something to do with my machine, and less with the software?

DW CS5 use ActionScript files without Flash

Our websites must avoid requiring a Flash download in the client browser.
Can we use Dreamweaver CS5 with ActionScript files (.as) without requiring Flash in a browser?
For example, DW CS5 menus include File -> New ... -> ActionScript,
but I cannot find literature or examples on using .as with Dreamweaver.
thanks,
Bruce

ActionScript is the backbone for Flash applications (FLV or SWF).
Unlike HTML & JavaScript, ActionScript is not a web programming language per se. It is a Flash programming language. And while some web devices support Flash many others do not.
If your site cannot use Flash then your ActionScript will need to be replaced with a suitable web alternative. Perhaps jQuery or Ajax (JavaScript & CSS).

Android app in Flash CS5 getting menu to pop up using actionscript

Hi,
anyone out there know how to get a menu to pop up in Flash CS5 when coding for an android app.
Basically I have a nice, simple app that when you press the menu button on your phone I want a movie clip to pop up at the bottom of the screen that then acts as a menu for the app. When you press the menu button again the movie clip disappears. There is some code in the sample files in flash cs5 but it won't seem to work for me.
Has anyone gotten this to work successfully for them.
This is the code that is in the sample file with flash
options_mc.visible = false;
function fl_ExitApplication(event:MouseEvent):void
    NativeApplication.nativeApplication.exit(0);
stage.addEventListener(KeyboardEvent.KEY_UP, fl_OptionsMenuHandler);
function fl_OptionsMenuHandler(event:KeyboardEvent):void
    if((event.keyCode == 95) || (event.keyCode == Keyboard.MENU))
        if(options_mc.visible == false){
            options_mc.visible = true;
            options_mc.addEventListener(MouseEvent.CLICK, fl_ExitApplication);
        } else if(options_mc.visible == true){
            options_mc.visible = false;
            options_mc.removeEventListener(MouseEvent.CLICK, fl_ExitApplication);
This code is supposed to make the menu popup and when clicked you exit the app.
I want someting similar to hppen without the movie clip making the app exit. My movie clip has other little buttons that make different information appear as you click on each one.
Any advice is much appreciated. have app ready to go apart from this one little error.
Thanks

Ok this problem gets even weirder!! The code above kind of works. What I mean by that is in the exact same app the menu might pop up once every so often. Seriously, some times it works after I run the app for about 30 seconds and some times it doesn't work at all.
Has anyone heard of this before? It's getting very frustrating.
Thanks

Passing a variable from Captivate 5 to Flash CS5/ActionScript 3

I don't get it. Why is it so difficult to pass a variable from Captivate 5 to AS3/Flash CS5. I must be making it harder than it really is. I cannot figure it out. Can anyone help?
I have a variable (gpDone = 1) defined in Captivate 5 (it's a guided practice) on the last frame which will indicate that the learner has completed the guided practice file.
Now I want to pass that variable back to Flash/AS3 so I can evaluate whether I should show the Continue button so they can continue. They have to complete the guided practice before they can continue. If it is equal to 1, the Continue button will display. If it is not equal to 1, the Continue button will not display, but a message will display telling them they have to complete the guided practice in order to continue in the course.
Do I need to edit the Flash html? Or just put code in the Flash timeline or the associated AS file?
Help would be greatly appreciated. Thanks in advance.
CAH

Having the same problem...getting variable values FROM captivate to my inserted .swf (not widgets).
I can set the value from the .swf to the captivate using Object(parent.parent.parent.parent).captivateVariable but not the other way around.
Very frustrating.
I hope someone answers your query.
