FROM within Director - Flash Datagrid - PGUP/PGDown ; arrowUp/arrowDown

Hello All,
Anyone had luck using the keyboard to PageUp/PageDown and/or
ArrowUp/ArrowDown (consistently) inside of a Flash Datagrid
inside
Director???
I've had it working, but only intermittently. I'm using
directToStage,
eventPassMode = "Always", and am using a common player for
the datagrid.
Any help, or insight would be great.

Launch PowerPoint from within a Flash Document?

I am new to this and have a question. Is it possible to
launch a PowerPoint file from within a Flash Document? (It can open
either internally or externally)
And, if so, is there a simple way to do it, or can you give
me directions to the proper tutorial section?

Hi Nick,
For offline/CD work, you can do this from a Flash Projector
file (see
Publish Settings) and use FlashJester JStart with it
http://jstart.flashjester.com
Download the evaluation copy and see the examples it comes
with.

Referencing a source datagrid from within a drag and drop handler

My application implements a drag and drop between two datagrids.
I would like to keep track of how many times a particular row in the source datagrid has been dragged to the target.
The drag and drop handler should increment a DataGridColumn in the source datagrid row each time this happens.
I can't figure out a way to refer back to the source datagrid and set a value in its dataprovider from within the drag and drop handler function.
The source datagrid is in a module and the target datagrid in in a popup called from the module. The function below is in the popped up custom component.
public function dragDropHandler(event:DragEvent):void
   if (event.dragSource.hasFormat("items"))
      var sComponentName:String;
      var iPos:int;
      //From which component was the drag initiated? This works sComponentName is set
      sComponentName = String(event.dragInitiator);
      //This does not work, compile error
      iPos = event.dragInitiator.selectedIndex;
         trace("Comp:MealPlanDetailCreate, function:dragDropHandler - event.dragInitiator: " + event.dragInitiator + "    parent container: " + event.dragInitiator.parent)
        trace( "    sComponentName: " + sComponentName +" name pos: " + sComponentName.indexOf("dgMP"))

Hi ZolanSilv...,
attached is an example of what i mean.
Hope it helps.

Starting a quicktime movie from within flash?

Hello,
I am very new to flash and would like to know if this is
possible? I have a flash template that I am using for a business
card CD. I would like to have a jpeg image (within the flash
template) act as a button that when pressed opens a full screen
quicktime movie. Is this possible from within flash? Would it make
a difference if I export everything to a quicktime movie? If flash
can't do this would there be a 3rd party software that would enable
me to do this? Any suggestions or options would be much
appreciated!

How to save CD files to disk from within Flash?

Is there any way I can copy files from a swf in a CD ROM to

In the .swf, I need to put buttons to downloads of wallpapers

This is where my troubles start...

When can we publish Air 3.0 from within Flash IDE?

Hi,
I am very eager to get started on developing with Air 3.0.
I'm using Flash CS5.5, but natively Air 3.0 is not available from within the IDE. I know I can publish using the command line, but this is really a bit to complicated for me.
Can anyone tell me if and when we can expect an update for Flash CS5.5 so we can publish Air 3.0 files from within the IDE directly?
Thanx!

There are two ways of being able to publish to AIR 3,0 from within Flash CS5.5. You can either rename the AIR2.6 folder and put in the AIR3.9 folder, renamed to AIR2.6. That, of course, won't let you do code completion on new features, or see any interface changes. Or you can follow the long winded overlay process, and then would be able to do code completion.
Are you saying that the long winded overlay way still doesn't give an option to publish with captive runtime? When you said that copying the SDK wouldn't give new UI options, that made me think you were saying that the more elaborate overlay would would.
So, users are then stuck with FB4.6 public beta, command line, or waiting for "Flash Next" before being able to publish captive runtime Android apps.

Accessing Datagrid row data from within an itemRenderer

I would like to know how I can access another row's data from within an itemRenderer. I need to do some formatting of my cells based on other row data. Here's what I mean... I have a datagrid and in row 0 col 2's itemRenderer I would like to access row 1 col 1's data in order to do a comparison so I can determine how to format row 0 col 2's data and so on. Is there a way from within the item renderer to reach into another row and access the data? I can't seem to find a clear answer so I thought I'd go to the pro's.
Thanks!!

You can use this code to get to the dataProvider of the grid.
var o:Object = this.parent.parent;
var dp:Object = o.dataProvider;

Flash From Within, now won't charge. Please help

I have a 17 inch PowerBook 1.33, running the latest everything. I had my laptop plugged in (its a relatively new charger too, replaced recently) and was typing away with the laptop sitting on my lap.
I went to put it on the table in front of me, and at the moment that I put the computer on the table, I saw 2 blinks from within the computer. I saw these blinks through the left speaker, towards the top, right near where the charger plugs into the computer. As soon as that happened, the LED light on the charger went off, and the computer no longer thought it was charging.
I reset the PMU multiple times (shut down, ShiftControl+OptionPower Button, release, wait 5 seconds, start up computer) but to no avail.
I have a very depressing feeling that I blew something on the logic board, or soemthing happened that is going to require the loevely $700 charge from Apple to fix.
I figured I'd bring it into the Apple store and have Genius look at it, but I doubt that will solve anything.
Any help would be appreciated.
-From a poor college student who is freakin out.

A brand new battery would require a full charge in order to be used;
so you are lucky, in that the new battery had enough power already.
So that is not an indicator of much, other than the MagSafe Board
in the computer itself may have sustained damages due to ???
and would need to be checked over by an authorized tech or if you
are near an Apple Store with Genius bar, call ahead for appointment
to have a diagnostic test done and take along the MagSafe adapter
so they can see if that is part of the problem.
Of course, an optical drive issue could be part of a diagnostic check.
If you are in the US or Canada, the retail Apple Store offers a free
service of a diagnostic, even though the computer is no longer
covered by an AppleCare plan. So that is worth taking a drive...
Check the details here, and follow them to see if you can make it go:
•Intel-based Macs: Resetting the System Management Controller
http://support.apple.com/kb/ht3964
•About NVRAM and PRAM:
http://support.apple.com/kb/HT1379
Are the contacts on both the MagSafe adapter and MagSafe port
clean, or do they have an odd color or debris in/on them? It is
possible to clean them of debris, but don't use watery stuff. A
tool such as a wooden toothpick could be used to see if anything
on there could be rubbed off or out of the contact areas.
Good luck & happy computing!

Unable to open CS3 Files from within the application

Good Afternoon
I work as IT Support for company looking after 10 ADOBE Creative Suite 3 end-users.
One of my colleagues is unable to open Illustrator or Photoshop files from within their respective applications, but she is able to open them from outside ok.
I have reinstalled ADOBE CS3 and this appeared to resolve the issue, only for it to return again a day later.
She has no other applications or processes running during her attempt to open a file from within CS3.
She will click on Open and the 'Open File' window will flash up for a split second, then the whole application will be frozen. It is as if the 'Open File' window is there, but isnt there because we cant click on it, but the application thinks it is displaying and so she can not click on anything else. The only way to close the application is to end the process under Task Manager.
While I am sitting here tearing what little amount of hair I have on my head, can anyone point me in the right direction?
Is this a Windows problem or an ADOBE problem do you think?
I look forward to any replies.
Thank you

Hi Bob
Ok...
Opened illustrator but was unable to open the 'Open File' window.
Changed the screen resolution, it suddenly worked!
Changed the screen resolution back to as it was before, it also worked.
What could cause this do you think?
By simply changing the screen resolution and back again, the 'Open File' window displayed itself.
Very bizarre!

How do I set a variable on the main timeline from within a symbol?

Just getting started with Animate and coming to it from Flash, as may be apparent from my question. How do you set a variable to the main timeline from within a symbol?
I have 24 pairs of clickable elements, each in their own symbols, and all 24 of those symbols sit inside another symbol. I want all 24 to be able to set the same global variable when clicked. I can't find that this question is addressed anywhere, which makes me think I may be stuck in a Flash mindset and approaching the task in the wrong way. (There are however MANY discussions of how to address objects at different levels in the hierarchy. That's well covered.)
Relatedly, how do you access a function on the main timeline from within a symbol?
Adobe should consider putting together a support page (or pages) just for folks migrating form Flash. In the materials I've encountered so far there seems to be a studied effort to refrain from mentioning Flash in any way. I imagine there are a lot of people out there like me who have a deep background in Flash coding, but are just getting started with Animate. We don't need help with most of the basic concepts, but we may still have some pretty basic questions about how to accomplish some things in Animate because our Flash knowledge is getting in the way.

Hi Bill,
There are plenty of threads on here about scope, but here's one way to create a global variable:
// code on Stage.compositionReady
sym.myGlobalVar = 1;
Then, anywhere in your project, you can check/set that var like so:
sym.getComposition().getStage().myGlobalVar = 2;
And here's one way to create a global function:
// code on Stage.compositionReady
sym.myGlobalFunction = function(){
console.log('myGlobalFunction');
Then, anywhere in your project, you can call that function like so:
sym.getComposition().getStage().myGlobalFunction();

Suppose you have one File Server installed (say SAP).....it has only two sub-folders (say XI and PI)....now you want to pick files from both the sub-folders....so you can try SAP/* ........
Please open your File Server location and any sub-folder within it and check if it is / or \ .....and then use the slash (/ or \) accordingly ......if you have IP and no name then give the IP.....rest logic remains the same....

Saving/Printing work from within a .swf file

Okay so here's the deal. I have to create a flash game in
which users will be creating artwork. When users are done with
their artwork we want them to be able to SAVE their work, EMAIL it
to a friend, and PRINT it out all within the .swf file.
HOW IN THE WORLD DO YOU DO THIS?????? I have been searching a
researching and going through many forums and tutorials trying to
see if anyone out there can help but I have come up with nothing.
Although I did come a across a website that was able to achieve
what we are looking to do in this flash game.
Click here to view
Snowflake Website
On this website users can make snowflake art the old fashion
way but this time on the web within a flash site. When users are
satisfied with their snowflake they can save it and the snowflake
is added to an ever growing database of user created snowflakes
that also can be viewed by others at anytime. Users are also given
the option of emailing their snowflake design to friends and
downloading their design as a JPEG or and EPS file. You can also do
the same to any of other numerous snowflake designs with the
snowflake design database.
HOW IN THE WORLD DO YOU DO THIS??? I have contacted the
agency that was responsible for creating this site for their help
as well but any assistance I can get from you guys would be greatly
appreciated as well.
Still quite confused but eagerly awaiting your
responses.

Printing object:
on (release) {
//creates the object of the class printjob
var pj:PrintJob = new PrintJob();
//starts the procedure
//opens the windows printing window
pj.start();
//sets the printing area (i may be made outside the stage,
so using the A4 area and adding any other information that should
not appear on screen)
area = {xMin:0, yMin:28, xMax:465, yMax:296};
//printing options - true=bitmap / false-=vetor... bitmap
generates a bigger file, but results in better quality for images,
vector is smaller and a good option if you work just with text
options = {printAsBitmap:true};
//adds the page the the printing queue
pj.addPage(_root, area, options, null);
//sends the page to the printer
pj.send();
//deletes the object to clear memory (very important)
delete pj;

Referencing HTML page from within a movie clip

Hi
Hope someone can help with this.
I have a simple horizontal scrolling gallery of 24 thumbnails
in Flash, the thumbnail images are loaded into the boxes using
actionscript. I would like each thumbnail to link to a html page of
my choice. There is a movie clip instance called panel with the 24
buttons inside it and on the first button as a test I've placed the
following action script:
on (release) {
getURL("team.html","_self");
When testing this movie from within Flash (CTRL, ENT) the
button links to the html file (which is in the same folder as the
SWF) with no problem. The problem is when I preview the page in a
browser and try to click on the first button nothing is happening.
I've tried it in both IE7 and Firefox with the same result.
The flash thumbnail clip is placed as a flash object into a
html page using dreamweaver.
I'm sure this is something simple such as navigating the
timeline but I've tried a few things like _root. but still no joy.
Hope someone can help.
Thanks, Jo

Try
on (release) {
getURL("
http://site.com/team.html","_self");
