Flash MX 2004 component dataSource
I need to edit a menu bar Flash component that was bundeled with Flash MX 2004. I like to be able to change the COLOR of the menu bar buttons. I am not sure how to edit this dataSource component in Flash CS4. The xml document assosiated with the Flash component does not allow me to change the color of the buttons or roll over buttons. DO I neeed to reinstal flash MX 2004 to edit the color of the buttons in the dataSource flash componenet?
thanks
This is not the answer you want, but if you can get yourself
a copy of Flash 8, you'll have almost exactly the same program with
a better interface...and it won't crash on you! (BTW, Flash 8 is
still the standard in most places.) I loved Flash 7, better known
as the 2004 MX versions, but it was buggy and cranky because it was
released too soon. Flash 8 was much better and far more
user-friendly.

Problem using a Flash MX 2004 Progress Bar Component within a Movieclip
I'm try to setup a progress bar to show the percentage loaded
of a mp3 audio file using the Flash MX 2004 Progress bar component.
I can get the progress bar to the work normally by the having the
component on the stage (not in a movie clip) with the component set
to:
mode: polled
source loader
with the following actionscript on the layer above:
pBar.setStyle("themeColor", 0xFF0000);
var loader:Object = new Sound();
loader.loadSound("http:/www.mywebsite.co.uk/mymp3.mp3",
true);
But I won't to put the preloader inside a Movie Clip (the
movie clip is called 'content_MC') as the website has alot of
content. When I do this the mp3 file still streams but the Progress
Bar doesn't work.
I think I just need to change the action script so that it
links with the component telling it to calculate the progress of
the audio streaming file.
Am I right? Where am I going wrong?I found the problem!!
While exploring the Fireworks MX 2004 folder located under
"C:\Documents and Settings\USER\Application Data\Macromedia\"
folder I discovered that this folder was empty. So, I connected the
old hard drive and investigated the contents of the corresponding
folder on that drive. Discovering the wide assortment of files and
folders in that folder, I simply copied the contents of that folder
to the Fireworks MX 2004 folder and retried running the application
and IT WORKED!
Thanks for all your communications and in depth
troubleshooting steps, I will keep them in may Application
troubleshooting Tool Tips for future reference. I have included the
actions used here which brought about the successful resolution of
this issue so that if you'd like you might include them in any Help
Desk Methods you may have. It was truly a collaborative effort
because I would not have thought to explore the Application Data
folder to resolve this issue without you pointing me in that
direction.
Thanks again! -
ScrollPane in Flash MX and flash Mx 2004 professional
Summary:
The refreshPane method works differently in Flash MX and
Flash MX 2004 Professional
What went wrong?:
I have used scrollPane component in Flash mx and loaded some
content. I changed the content size i.e. width and height
at runtime and after that called the refreshPane() method to
resize the scrollPane. It works fine with Flash MX
But same I tried with Flash Mx 2004 Professional, but it
doesn't work, since in Flash Mx the refreshPane() method resizes
the content and in flash Mx 2004 Professional the
refreshPane() metod reloads the content.
What should have happened?:
Can there be a method in flash Mx 2004 Professional which
just resizes the scrollPane and not reloads the whole content?
Since if I have to generate a content at runtime and resize
it also at runtime then just by calling the method refreshPane() in
flash Mx 2004 Professional, it loads the content what it was
originally and not the changed one.
Product version: flash Mx, Flash Mx 2004 Professional
Product: Flash
Component: scrollPane
I would like to request you to help me in the same as early
as possible.
Thanks and regards,

Flash MX creates .swf files. Dreamweaver CS4 creates HTML
files, and
has the capability of inserting .swf files in a web page. It
doesn't
matter which version of Flash you use to create your .swf
files; they
can be inserted into a web page in any version of
Dreamweaver.

Flash MX2004 Loader Component Question
Hi all,
I have a question regarding the loader component that ships
with Flash MX 2004. I am using the component to load .swf files. As
far as I can tell, the component will not begin to play a .swf file
until it is 100% loaded. Is this correct? If not, is there any way
to make it play as it is downloading? This IS possible with the
MovieClipLoader class but I currently have a complex application
built using the loader component.
If anyone has any suggestions, I would appreciate it.
Additionally, I could extend the class if anyone can point me in
the direction of what would need to be changed in the class.
Thanks,
JohnI'm only trying to interpret what that message is telling me in this response. It seems to be indicating that you have some object in the library that you have named "calLoader" and assigned it a linkage ID of Loader (possibly by default) as well as another object in the library named myLoader that has the same linkage ID (possibly by default).
If these two objects are the same component type, then you only need one of them in the library. The different naming of them can be managed on the stage. -
Flash MX 2004 Pro & QuickTime Pro 7
Iam using Flash MX 2004 Pro and there is a feature that when
I want to publish a movie it says I can export a movie in
quicktime. I tried it and I get the following error. "Flash MX - An
error occured because a required QuickTime component could not be
found." I have QuickTime Pro 7 and do not understand this error.
What am I missing.
Thank you,

New iMac with 10.6.2 - but when tried to install Flash MX 2004 pgm crashes
HI,
First, perhaps there's a list somewhere of pgms that won't run under snow leopard?
We just got a new iMac 21.5" with 10.6.2
Trying to migrate pgms we had on our old G4 - like Flash MX 2004. After a clean install - it keeps crashing. Console log shows:
1/8/10 7:56:40 PM [0x0-0x28028].com.macromedia.flash.7[318] Authentication Service: Started

It would seem that I probably will have to spend a lot more $ just to get pgms to run on this new system.
Any clues on getting this to run?
thanks

Sizing photo's in Photoshop to use in Macromedia Flash MX 2004
Am trying to create a gallery for webpage using Macromedia Flash MX 2004, have imported photo's into library and got the Flash gallery to publish. But am concerned as the flash .swf file is only 273kb with 20 images in it, the existing gallery file I am wanting to replace is approximaately 2.5mb.
I was advised to downsize each photo to 300x200 pixels which seems to fit the display in the flash file. Thought maybe I am doing something wrong in Photoshop when I am resizing each photo from original 3 or 4 mb photo down to the 300x200 pixel size. Any clues out there?I really know nothing about Macromedia Flash, but since no one has given any responses my thought is that if doing an action you need small pictures so they will load quickly.
If you resize save as new image so the quality images are not destroyed. If you have a lot of pictures to resize check out Bridge/tools/photoshop/image processor. -
Adobe Premiere Pro 2 and Macromedia Flash MX 2004
I'm using Adobe Premiere Pro 2.0 and have recently installed Macromedia Flash MX 2004.
Now when I go to export to Flash I don't get the Adobe Premiere's Flash Export dialog box when I press "Options" from the Export Settings. I get the Flash MX Professional 2004 "Flash Video (FLV) Exporter." It doesn't allow me to change any of the parameters.
I then un-installed Macromedia Flash MX 2004 but still get the same "Flash Video (FLV) Exporter."
Any ideas on how to get the Premiere exporter back?Well there is no answer to my question, but I did finally get the Adobe Media Encoder dialog box to come back again.
After uninstalling Premiere and QuickTime, then shutting down the computer, rebooting and logging on to the Admin account, shutting down again, rebooting again, logging in to the Admin account again ...
I then went in to the registry and removed all the Entries that had either of these in it:
C:\Program Files (x86)\Common Files\Adobe\DVA\COM
C:\Program Files (x86)\Common Files\Adobe\DVA\FLASH
and these as well
C:\Program Files (x86)\QuickTime\QTComponents\FLV.qtx
C?\Program Files (x86)\QuickTime\QTComponents\FLV.qtx
Rebooted the computer, logged back in to Admin.
I then re-installed QuickTime, and rebooted.
I then installed Premiere and the Adobe Media Encoder Flash dialog now shows up.
I'd be careful messy with the registry if you are trying to fix this type of problem. Try uninstalling quicktime and premiere and do the above shutdown, reboot sequence a number of times before doing anything to the registry.

I installed Macromedia Flash MX 2004 yesterday,but I get an
error,unfortunately,it's one of those "Program has encountered a

ModVer: 0.0.0.0 Offset: 646e756f
And I get this tipe of error with Flash 8 as well
As an OS I use XP professional with SP 2
Any ideas are welcome

Did macromedia just get crappier with Flash MX 2004?
Did Flash just get cr*ppier? What the h*ll is going on?? Now
that we export our swf, we have to make sure that we f'in mask out
the working area? What genius came up with that bulls**t?? Also,
when we put actions on buttons we have to go thru a lot more sh*t
with typing up all the scripts?? not to mention they are a hell of
lot more bugs!!! c'mon Macromedia, some of us have time constraint
with real deadllnes, so why all the innefficiencies and added
frustrations?? You guys are suppose to make it better with each
version, not f*cking make it sh*ttier..get your head outta your
a$$es. FLASH MX 2004 IS A F'in RIP-OFF!!"just" get crappier is a bit of an outdated statement - MX
2004 is flash version 7 and the currect
version is Flash 8 - MX 2004 came out well over a year ago.
You don't and never have had to "mask" out the work area - I
have no idea what you are referring to
- can you explain in detail what is or is not happening?
Yes they removed normal mode from the AS panel but brought it
back in flash 8 as "Script Assist"
which is even better.
You refer to "Macromedia" which is no longer (again, dating
yourself
) Adobe bought MM so I think
you may have just emrged from the technology cave so to speak

How to restore sound to exported avi? - Flash MX 2004 Pro
Hi,
Over the last couple of days I have been tinkering around with Flash MX 2004 Pro. More specifically, I have been importing avi's to the library and then placing the embedded video into a movieclip so I could have more control over it. While in the library I could preview the video along with the sound. Exporting the video again in avi format it would render the sound. However, all of a sudden it will only preview the video and not the sound in the library and the same goes for when I export a video there is no sound. The strange thing is the sound is still present when I test the movie. I have tried reinstalling the program with no luck. Any ideas?
Many thanks.Well there is no answer to my question, but I did finally get the Adobe Media Encoder dialog box to come back again.

This is the message I get when I export:
"To export a Captivate movie to Flash, you should have
Macromedia Flash 2004 installed."
I do have Macromedia Flash 2004 installed. In fact I removed
Flash 8 from my machine and restarted just so there would be no
misdirection.
Does anyone have any idea what can fix this?
Frankly, I am ready to give up on Captivate for good. I have
been twisting myself over backwards for two months to get Captivate
to work as a robust e-learning tool. It could be that I am just
asking too much of this program.
Still, it is supposed to export to Flash MX 2004 and it's
not. Any ideas?Hi naimahav
Frankly, I am ready to give up on Captivate for good
I'm not sure what category you fall into here, but it's not
uncommon to see people that are pretty familiar with Flash view
Captivate as some "nifty Flash add in". If this is your category,
it's not surprising you are frustrated. Even though Captivate can
produce .SWF output, it was never intended at any point to compete
with Flash. It has a totally different purpose.
I guess the larger question here is, what are you wanting to
accomplish that you feel Captivate cannot do for you and you feel
the need to resort to bringing it into Flash?
Oh, I suppose while I'm here I should give you a link to a
TechNote regarding the message.

Hello,
I need to encrypt a string in Flash MX 2004. Does it provied
such a function ( like php's md5() ) and if not what other way is
there to do thisexactly - the illusion is just that - scaling the objects
larger will provide the illusion you are
zooming - remember the opening sequence of the very 1st star
wars movie (1977)? Those space ships
just after the opening text were stationary - they simply
moved the camera alongside them - when
viewing the film the shaps (in our own minds) appear to move.
Same concept with flash - scale
object(s) on stage - most animators nest entire scenes in
Graphic movie clips and then scale them to
produce camera zooms.

Flash 8 vs. FLash MX 2004
This is a Flash 8 vs. Flash MX 2004 issue...
Anyone else noticing a difference saving files over a network
from Flash 8. I have never had a problem with Flash MX 2004 saving
over a network, but now saving a 14 MB flash file to a Mac OS X
Server is taking up to 2 minutes over AFP!! Server is a Sawtooth G4
running Jaguar Server 10.2.8 - long in the tooth I know!
An odd thing about this is that my first save will take 15
seconds, my second about 2 minutes, the third around 15 seconds,
the fourth around 2 minutes and so on... A "Save as" will take
about 40 seconds consistently.
That is:
0:15 - 1st save
2:00 - 2nd save
0:15 - 3rd save
1:56 - 4th save
Again that is using AFP, but even using SMB I notice this
alternate short/long save time. Using SMB a "Save as" takes 16
seconds on the same 14 MB file. Then the first save will take 3
seconds and the second about 13 seconds, the third save will take 3
seconds the fourth save will take 14 seconds etc...
Now this looks like a good case for using SMB over AFP (but
that is a topic for another forum). However, it is clearly a Flash
8 vs. Flash MX 2004 issue. When I go back to using Flash MX 2004
saves pretty consistently take about 2-3 seconds and "Save As"
takes about 10 seconds. This is using AFP or SMB (SMB is a bit
faster).
I called Macromedia (Adobe) support for help and their only
answer is that "saving over a network is not reccommended or
supported" (neither is this documented, even though some of their
tutorial examples use network workflows). I told them that Flash MX
2004 (and previous) NEVER gave me this problem which has apparently
been introduced with Flash 8 Professional.
Anyone else have this issue?
Thanks
Jflyyou should search this forum the past 2 days - been a few
more posts about working/saving to a
network and losing entire flas - it is never recommended -
with any type of program.
