Using Flash Pro and Flash Builder together | Learn Flash Professional CS5 & CS5.5 | Adobe TV

Adobe Flash Professional CS5 and Adobe Flash Builder 4 enable time-saving workflows. Learn how to develop content in Flash while editing associated ActionScript code in Flash Builder 4, switching easily between the two applications to edit and test.
http://adobe.ly/w50IJm

This doesn't seem to work the same way in CS5.5 / CS6
In the video the class files are associated with the FLA, when you switch back to Flash Pro...
So far, when I follow these steps the classes are not associated with the FLA, the class field for the stage in Flash remains blank.
Also, clicking the edit icon in the properties of a MovieClip and allowing FB to create the file, does not associate the as file with the MovieClip.
Returning to Flash Pro and clicking the Edit button attempt to create a new file once again, but since the file already exists in FB it just remains on the New ActionScript Class dialog, with the Finish Button grayed out (because a file with the same name already exists in FB).
The resulting AS files for a given are created in a sub folder under:
Documents/Adobe Flash Builder 4.6/[Project]/src-[Project]/*.as
Yet the FLA is located in Documents:
Documents/[Project].fla
Should the as files exists with the fla, is a folder reference supposed to be set, or did I miss a step somewhere?
Is a source path supposed to be added to Flash Pro for:
Documents/Adobe Flash Builder 4.6/[Project]
I am currently on a Mac, but noticed the same behavior in Windows at work yesterday.
Thanks,
Josh

I am watching the tutorial over "creating button symbols." When it gets to the part where while in the over keyframe you are supposed to click on swap, my properties panel looks different and does not have a swap button. Any suggestions?

Working with uncompressed XFL files and source control | Learn Flash Professional CS5 & CS5.5 | Adobe TV

Use the Flash uncompressed XFL file format with a source control system to enable designers and developers to collaborate on Flash projects. Contributors can edit different assets simultaneously and see updated assets as soon as they are checked in.
http://adobe.ly/x0GHI4

This is a great overview of sequential use of source control with the xlf format. However, typically in a team setting, team members are working at the same time. Our team has found that many of the xlf files have one or more timestamp related entries that get updated even when no functional changes have occurred. This is particularly true of DOMDocument file, which timestamps changes, marks library elements as expanded or not, and tracks a published history. All of these changes conflict with anyone who is simultaneously working on the xlf. Any tips on how to deal with these issues?

"Learn Flash Professional CS4" Resources?

In Adobe TV there is a learning series titled "Learn Flash Professional CS4". In that series there are resources, files and such, that are mentioned. Where can I find these files? I searched my install and cannot locate them. Are they available somewhere on the Adobe site for download?
Thanks and have a great Holiday!!

the series you watched is taken from lynda.com
http://www.lynda.com/home/DisplayCourse.aspx?lpk2=683
if you enjoyed the videos on adobe tv, i would suggest that the $25 per month fee of Lynda.com will be very much worth it. This gives you access to tons of videos AND the sample files. Most decent books cost upwards of $40. I am in no way associated with lynda.com.

What is Flash Professional CS6? | Learn Flash Professional CS6 | Adobe TV

Dive into Adobe Flash Professional CS6. See how web designers, developers, and animators can use Flash to create rich content for screen and web environments.
http://adobe.ly/Jo2HUO

Actually, what Flash Pro is, is a profound disappointment. I've been using Flash since Macromedia days and have generally put up with the huge change in focus that's happened between AS2 and AS3. I was irked by the sudden need to have to declare classes for even the simplest functions but lived with it because there was nothing much else out there. It wasn't until very recently that the truth finally dawned on me; Flash is a bloody mess.
Adobe have completely betrayed the design community and after long consideration I've come to the conclusion that Apple were entirely right to prevent Flash appearing on iOS devices. I don't want to have to write reams of code to make a simple ad, it's a waste of time and money and my clients really don't care whether their code is elegant or not. All that matters is pixels on screen.
Flash has completely lost its way. Instead of being a ground-breaking design tool it's just another OOPL with a half-baked IDE. What's the point of Flash? It's a product which is now conceptually flawed, a scripting language with a few graphic bolt-ons, a tool which actually reduces productivity instead of enhancing it.
The name Flash Pro is misleading, it should be called ActionScript Pro. Flash has become a programming tool only, and in the process thrown up so many barriers to productivity that it's become all but unusable in the purpose for which it was originally conceived.
It seems to me that Adobe lack the imagination to produce ground-breaking products any more. All they deliver are engineering solutions with incremental improvements and that's only a good enough solution whilst there's nothing else out there. Quite evidently the ground is shifting and as a product Flash is clinging on to the edge of a cliff. Flash is exposed.
In the 21st century it seems extraordinary that a product marketing itself as a design tool requires designers to start a creative project by deciding which packages to import. This is useful to me why? Does my client give a damn? Why doesn't the application work that out for itself? It's like asking a driver to service their own engine every time they take the car out. Sure, a knowledge of code is beneficial but starting from first principles every time you start a project? It's just not good enough.
I'll keep using Flash for now, but as soon as something new gains sufficient critical mass - Corona, Kwik 2, anything that actually gives designers productivity tools - I'm out of here.

Creating a prepackaged AIR app | Learn Flash Professional CS6 | Adobe TV

Discover how to deploy AIR applications from within Flash Professional CS6 as "captive runtimes." Captive runtime allows developers to bundle the AIR framework into an AIR application, creating a self-contained entity that eliminates third-party dependency.
http://adobe.ly/JXWmgc

Hi I am a little confused.
I wan't to export an AIR "Application with runtime embedded" I can do this fine for a MAC file from my mac I can just check the "Application with runtime embedded" check box and I get a file that I don't have to embed. I would like to do the same for a PC I have flash installed on windows 7 parallels. When I check the "Application with runtime embedded" check box and export I get a file structure instead of an app I can open. The mac version I can just double click and it opens without having to install the app.
Is it then true that you can not have an AIR Captive file file for the pc that you don't have to run through an installer process?
Many thanks
Oli

FAQ: How do I go about learning Flash Pro?

Because of the many different ways of using Flash Pro, and the overabundance of learning materials for it, knowing where to start is a challenge in itself.
Here's what we recommend:
The Flash Pro Dev Center provides a guide called Five steps to learning Flash Professional. It will give you a clear sense of what to focus on 1st, 2nd, 3rd, etc.
Learning the Flash workspace - This short video provides a good overview of the workspace.
Creating your first Flash Professional CS5 document - This tutorial is a great introduction.
Introducing Flash Professional - And this video is a good intro to Flash in general.
Also, Adobe TV has a show devoted to Learning Flash Professional CS5 & CS5.5. Focus on the videos with titles that start with "GS" (for Getting Started) first.

Srami... welcome to the forum...
your question is MASSIVELY broad and depends on your requirements and delivery expectations.
Basically... 'best' for what?
It's helpful if you provide some details for people to assist you.

Images will not appear on Stage area of Adobe Flash Professional

I have Adobe Flash Professional CS5.
Yesterday I successfully created an animation.
Later the same day I tried to create another and the images will not appear on the stage.
I loaded in PNG files - which worked the first time - now they will not show up.
I can see their binding boxes on the stage, and move those but the images just do not show up.
When I hit ctrl + enter to preview, I can see the images in the preview movie - just not on the stage working area!
I tried restarting, shutting down, updating my PC, uninstalling programs, loading different file types (jpg), and resaving and reloading the PNG files. I even tried different types of Flash defaults. NOTHING WORKS.
I hope someone can tell me what is wrong this makes no sense!

Before you drag the image from the library to your stage, make sure you insert a blank keyframe (F6) on the layer you are working with, then drag to stage. This worked for me.

Update to Flash Player 11 has caused our Flash content to crash the Flash Player plugin. Why?

I work for a health and safety training company and we've create a SCORM compliant course using Flash that has been imported into Absorb LMS (our own instance of it www.astutis-elearning.com). There are nine modules in the course each developed using Flash Professional CS5.5.
These all worked fine using the Flash Player 10.3 plugin but since the Flash Player update to 11 our modules (not all Flash content) crash the plugin at certain places. Some modules load fine and then crash later, some modules get through the preloader scene and then crash as soon as it gets to the main menu. We've done some testing and don't know if it could be a Flash component that is causing the issue. At any rate, they used to work with 10.3 and they don't work with 11. We've tried on a number of machines and browsers. Its the same on all of them.
I am prepared to provide a login for people willing to help to see what is causing the problem.
This is an important issue as we have people who are currently on the course that may not be able to complete the course if they upgrade their version of Flash to the latest version. I hope I have provided enough information. Let me know if you need any more.

Paul and DevChaz,
Like you, I am a Flash Developer at a company that creates eLearning. Therefore, I assume that the way that we use Flash is very similar. I was quite excited as I read through this thread since I have been experiencing very similar browser crashes in my newer courses since FP11 came out. Like you, we have recently upgraded to CS5.5.
All of my crashes are with AS2 courses. I would be curious to know if yours are AS2 or AS3.
Anyway, I took my use case, saved the flas down to CS4 and recompiled all the swfs. This did not fix the problem as it did for you (see DevChaz's earlier post in this thread dated Oct 12, 2011 4:46 PM).
I have my problem logged in the Adobe BugBase here:
https://bugbase.adobe.com/index.cfm?event=bug&id=3018637
fpMonster,
I have recently added my cs4 versus cs5.5 compiled use_case on bugbase. I am hoping that you'll look at this use_case and compare it to PaulGray's use_case to see why my use_case does NOT work correctly when compiled in a lower version of the Flash IDE. In addition, perhaps you could share notes regarding this issue with someone at BugBase. Thanks in advance.

"outside stage content" of swf shown as transparent area in flipbook

Hi
I have a flipbook on stage it loads external swf.
The problem is that after loading the external swf's into the
flipbook,
it shows transparent area in lowerside and to the right.
This transparent space is actually in the offstage area of my
external.swf.
I have used a mask to show only stage content in external.swf
But filpbook shows offstage content as transparent content.
The extra trasparent portion is shown as black area in flip
book pages.

I don't get Stage content for a level editor

Hi, first post. I don't get JavaFX. I've gone over tutorials. I understand how to put things in a Stage.content: ..., but I don't get how to use it for my needs.
I'm trying to make a level editor via browser.
The Stage consists of a the 2d world of objects and a draggable tool panel. The dragable tool panel isn't too much of a problem since it's just a group with a bit of interaction. What I'm having difficulties with is "understanding" my world content.
I don't get how I would draw scrollable grid. I don't get how I would use object placements into the content based on visibility list.
In Swing I would just put my objects in a Vector then cycle through them in an overidden .paint(Graphics g). But JavaFX is declaritive. How do i declare a line drawing routine? how do I add objects to the content.
I'm very confused. I've spent little over a week(part time) trying to get this.
Stage
content: world.getContent()
World
function getContent():Group{
return group
This is the closest understanding I get.

#1 This is the last about a game that Im doing, I have a side scrolling panel, take a look at the code to see if it helps you.

and I can access the objects thru the code. I use inkscape for this.

Distributing the content directly to Secondary Site

We have a particular application that is being used at a only one of our sites with has Secondary site.(SS1)
Now my question is when i distribute the content do i always first need to distribute it to the Primary Site (PS1)or can i skip distributing it to Primary and directly distribute to secondary site SS1.
We have 1 Primary Site & 4 Secondary Sites along with few additional DPs.

can you please help me to understand how should i distribute the content give below is the case:
Primary Site @ UK
Secondary Site (along with DP role) @ Australia
Location of content Network share in Australia.
Now the application that i want to distribute is only used in Australia.
So after creating the application in SCCM how should i distribute the content
A) Only to Secondary Site
B) To Primary Site First & then to Secondary site...
If i use "A" the status keep on showing waiting for content for days. But if i use "B" it works perfectly fine without any hiccups.
