Flash. Simple Project?

Anytime I ask someone how to get images onto my website They
say use Flash.
I've tryed to understand flash. I'm now taking a collage
class in Flash.
So far we've learned how to make a stick man mov across the
stage.
All I want to do is put some slide shows on my web site and
have some pages where the thumb nail, when rolled over produces a
larger image. IS THIS SO DIFFICULT?
I can't find info anywhere that addresses this.
I don't want ot be a Flash ACE. I just want to do a couple of
simple things.
HELP!

Aside from enrolling into a college class did you try google?
"Flash slideshow" returns over 11 million related subjects.
Hope this helps.

I have the same issue. My project is super simple. All the files are in the same directory. The doc class and the .fla have the same name. The project publishes without a hitch in Flash Professional CC. When I try to add the project to Flash Builder 4.7 it give me:
Exception in BridgeTalk call
Function: getFLABuildPaths
Error message: Error. Cannot find the file ....
I have checked the path to the .fla twice and scrutinized the spellings and they are correct. It is pointing right to the correctly named .fla, but for some reason it fails. I'll post if I find out something usefull.

Other problems with loading Captivate files into Flash AS3 project

I have a Captivate file done with Captivate 3, published to
Flash player 9 that is being loaded into Flash AS3. The captivate
is a simple recording of some mouse clicks in a browser. I am
displaying the playbar along the bottom, and its buttons all work
fine except for the progress bar, where you can drag the knob and
scrub back & forth in your presentation.
This progress bar is not working as it should. I see the
mouse cursor change to a hand, but when I click I cannot drag the
knob to control the progress bar. The other buttons in the playbar
do work (replay, pause, play, back, forward).
This is a unique problem in that it is only happening when
viewed in IE (7) when loaded into my Flash AS3 project. When viewed
in Firefox in my project, or as a standalone SWF, or as a SWF
simply embedded onto a plain HTML page, it works just fine.
Does anybody have any insight?
Another thing I notice with loading Captivate files with AS3
is the the amount of output messages it displays. Rather annoying
(unless this is a "feature" I've yet to be aware of - heh)

Hi,
I know exactly how you feel, there is simple answer; replace
Captivate for Camtasia Studio 5 at techsmith.com. The weight on
those shoulders will be gone! You'll smile more, be more
socialable. One Happy Person.
I am very happy person ;)

Linking library with flash builder project?

I have a flash builder project going and I have found I need to make various movie clips and sprites in in Flash Pro. Is there a simple way to just link my library from the .fla project to my builder project so I can access the assets made in the .fla?
I'm using the latest version of both software packages.
Thanks!
-SGW

Open your .actionScriptProperties file and set useFlashSDK to false. This will allow you to use your older SDKs. They are managed in the same way as Flash Builder 4.6 when this option is changed.

Flash Builder flash pro project doesnt show code hintings for library assets exported for AS ?

Flash Builder flash pro project doesnt show code hintings for library classes exported for AS ? So is there any way I can fix this ? Only way I could think of is export a swc from the fla... is there a more convenient way to do this ?

anyone ?

Flash Builder - No Code Hinting For New Flash Professional Project??

I had been using flash builder as an as3 editor and compiling from flash builder. The Flash Professional Project in Flash Builder seems perfect. It will give me the flexibility to compile from Flash Professional, or compile from the flex sdk, use breakpoints, have all my files nicely in the package explorer.
However, it has been a terrible terrible experience. For some reason code hinting is completely turned off on all levels in Flash Professional Projects. I have been looking in every preference panel trying to figure out why this is happening. If it is actually the case that you get no code hinting whatsoever then they really should not have even bothered adding this into Flash Builder because coding in this fashion is a joke.
However, I am still optimistic about it. Can someone help me turn on code hinting?

Ok. Solved it. The issue was that we were using linked source code and library swcs that were all located under the same directory. When you pull up the project's properties and go to "Flex Build Path" under the "Source Path" tab you can add that directory without a problem. However, under the "Library Path" instead of just adding the directory, I added each swc individually and that solved my problem. Now all the code hinting is working perfectly.

Flex swc library in Flash CS3 project

Is it possible to use a swc library created in Flex in a
Flash CS3 project?

Thank but It does not seem to work with Flex 3.0. I've tried
with the compiler "-compute-digest=false" option as suggested but
no luck. Do you have any idea?
Thanks

A simple project

Hi All,
I need to do a simple project like
1.Using DBMS_JOB package read some data from the table and output the result into a flat file at definite intervals.
2.Now submit another dbms_job to read that flat file and store the contents into another table.
now the thing should be like every 1/2 hour the job should append the data into the flat file and every 1 hour the flat file should be read through another dbms_job to store the contents of the file into another table.
Please help me on this

i need some guidelines to where can i find the docs on DBMS_JOBThe documentation for DBMS_JOB is where you might expect to find it, that is in the Supplied PL/SQL packages manual. You might also want to read the relevant chapter in the Administrator's guide.
Cheers, APC

Load Flex/Flash Builder project in Flash Professional CS5

Is there a way that I can load (or export) Flex/Flash builder project in Flash Professional CS5?
As it turns out we got Flash Prof for our team, but it may look like we actually need Flash builder to build lots of UI related stuff..

Specifically, I want to use flex chart in CS5. Is there a way to do this?

One Flash CC project gets stuck when publishing in IOS. It will quickly publish as Android, and other projects will publish as IOS. Not sure what to change.

One Flash CC project gets stuck when publishing in IOS. It will quickly publish as Android, and other projects will publish as IOS. Not sure what to change.

Thanks for the info.
I've recently stumbled on an article on how to view the packaged file (apk) published using AIR 3.2 for Android setting (Adobe Flash CS6). All you need to do is change the extension of the file from (.apk) to (.rar) or (.zip) and extract the file as you would with any other zip or rar file. I was able to confirm that the packaged file (apk) indeed contain all the videos for the presentation. I have more than 80 videos in the presentation. All videos included in the package are of the same video format and resolution (FLV 320x240) but of different duration. I intentionally included the all the videos inside the package so I can use the presentation anywhere and anytime without the need to connect to the internet. The packaged apk file size is (1.23GB) the file includes the project's swf and xml file, the component swf and videos.
When installed to android I noticed that the package remained as an apk file. Not really sure if android temporarily unpacks it when you run the app.
Testing phase:
I see no problem when I'm testing the project on my desktop computer. But when packaged and installed on my device the problem arise.
Problem:
I'm able to install and run the app on my device but wont play some of the videos included in the package.
Was this due to the limited RAM or processor of my android device?
I wanted to distribute the presentation to friends so i was trying to package it for easy access and installation on their device.
Alternative Solution:
I installed a third party app called SWF player by BIT LABS. Copied all the files to my device (the project's swf and component swf with the videos). The project worked like a charm the player (SWF player) and was able to run the presentation as if it was running of my desktop. All buttons and videos working properly. Although the alternative solution worked for me I still wanted to package the presentation for easy access and distribution to friends.
Please help...Thanks in advance.

Is it possible to get a count of all the class files in a Flash Builder project?

Thanks!

Resultsets are one per connection unless you have copied them. Do you have lots of connections are you properly reusing them or at least closing and discarding all references?

FB 4.5: Flash Professinal Project - Access to undefined property

I have a "Flash Professinal Project" in my Flash Builder. So, I have a FLA file with the scene and some symbols on it. And a pack of AS files with code.
The trouble is with symbols in FLA file.
For example, I have a movieclip with instance name "dlg" on my scene.
And when I try to access this movieclip like "dlg.gotoAndStop(2)" in some code, the Flash Builder 4.5 underlines "dlg" and puts the orange question mark to the left saying "Access to undefined property dlg". Of course, FB doesn't know about existance of this movieclip. But 4.0 version didn't underline it orange.
Project compiles ok, but some code parts looks very annoying.
Half of my code looks like this:
The additional uncomfortable thing is that when I use FB4 and type dlg. , it opens the autocomplete dialog assuming that "dlg" is a MovieClip by default. FB4.5 doesn't do autocomplete even after I type "dlg.gotoAndS" and press "Ctrl+Space".
So, is there any way to get rid of this annoying orange question makrs? Maybe, there's a way to describe such instances specially for FB so it can find out their existance? Or just return the way it was in 4.0 ?

Ok, I have finally found my issue. the "switch" syntax must have changed somewhere between Flex Builder 3 and Flash Builder 4.5.1
This used to work in Flex Builder 3. The 'case "t", "tr"' will cause code completion to stop working, and also give the "?" warnings all over the souce. Jusr use a separate line for each "case" fixed the issue.
This has been extremely frustrating for me, I don't have a half a day to google all over with no luck. I wound up making a copy of the project and commenting out most of the code a bit at a time to find this. Sure hope this helps someone else out there!

Bringing in Flash Catalyst project produces SDK error

Hey everyone. I have been googling this problem for quite awhile and can't find a fix that works. I really hope someone on here can help me out. Whenever I bring in a Flash Catalyst project that I've made in FC CS5.5, I get an error and warnings about errors with the SDK, needing Flex 4.5. Well, the Adobe area said that I can select to open a project with whatever sdk I want. I tried that. There is no option that I can find to allow me to pick the sdk I want.
How do I fix this? Help would be greatly appreciated!!

Hey Sumit,
In the public beta we'll be releasing with the most up to date version of the Flex SDK. There's no way to actually change the SDK in the MAX build unfortunately.

Is it possible to save versions/snapshots of Flash Builder projects?

Hi there,
I am working on a project at the minute that I am saving incrementally (0.0.1, 0.0.2 etc) as would be expected with most projects. Can anyone let me know if there is a way of saving a snapshot/version of a Flash Builder project so that I can revert back to a particular version should I ever need to? I suppose I can duplicate the project so that it appears as a seperate entity in my workspace window but I was just wondering if there was a more elegant way of doing it?
Thanks in advance for your help.

Setting up a local version control system like CVS or SVN and committing your project at regular intervals will likely give you what you want.

Migrating a Flash CS4 project to FlashBuilder

I'm migrating a Flash CS4 project to Flash Builder. My CS4 project has a lot of assets that are assigned classes in the Flash library. For example, a graphic in the library has a class name of MyBitmap, and a base class of flash.display.BitmapData. I've built my CS4 project as a SWC file and included it as a library in my Flash Builder project. The project builds fine, but when it runs, it says MyBitmap is not defined. Is there a way to resolve this?
Thanks,
Brian

The class was in the SWC, but I looks like the problem occured because I didn't declare any variables referring to the SWC assets (didn't need to do this in CS4). Once I declared a variables, I was able to use the SWC classes. I'll probably move most of these directly to the Flash Builder project using the [EMBED ...] tag anyway.

That's odd that it would fail at runtime. Can you make sure the SWC contains what you expect? In Flash Builder, in Package Explorer, look for your SWC under "Referenced Libraries". Perhaps the class wasn't actually compiled into the SWC.

How to fix corrupted Flash cs5 Project?

I should have known better than to attempt to copy MovieClips from a Flash cs4 project that got converted into a Flash cs5 project, I copied a couple MovieClips to my flash cs5 project and then it asked me if I want to overwrite the components or not. I choose not to the first time, then I got tons of warnings and so I tried again, this time I overwrite when prompted.
Then after the save, flash cs5 crashed. "An error occured while opening the file". "flash cannot parse this file" error. My client doesn't want me showing any of this project to any third parties and I'm upset and so is he that this could happen.

Ya I beleive my flash .fla file is a gonner
