Help needed! From Flash Professional to Edge Animate poll.

If you have used Adobe Flash Professional and Adobe Edge Animate, please answer this 12-question poll. I'm studying in a university at the moment, and to complete the assignment that I have to do, I created a simple poll to find out, how users of Flash Professional can adapt to animating in Edge Animate. I'd appreciate it alot, if you answered this poll!

Thank you!

hi heldeJ,
i just filled out your poll. I'm a flash developer who is moving to edge and would be interested in seeing the results of your poll. Good luck with it!

  • How do you remove a symbol from the stage in Edge animate?

    Hello-
    I'm wondering how to remove a symbol from the stage in Edge Animate so you can jump to another place in the timeline.  In Flash, the symbol was only on the stage for the amount of frames you indicated.  Not sure how it works here.
    For example, I have 2 buttons on my first screen with some text that animates in.  I want the button click to take the user to another section in the timeline or (basically another scene, like in Flash)  that contains different content.  If I change the visibility the buttons are still there and will ( I assume) create problems when other elements are placed on top. 
    Or is the only way with code.  If that is the case what would that code be?
    I would appreciate any help.
    Thank you!

    What I usually do, is, once you have everything set up in the scene you are done with. highlight it all
    right click
    group elements in DIV
    Now all those items act as 1 group and then you give it a properties name, much like a symbol.
    THEN you can refer to that scene name and move it anywhere or hide it and slide in another scene that has the content for that next scene.
    basically you take all the elements that make up 1 scene, gruop it up, name it, and then in the code for the button say something like:
    on click:
    scenename.play(framenumber);
    that will then animate that scene according to any animation you gave it, such as moving to the left, off stage. while moving scene 2 that you create into the stage.
    or just have something like this hide it
    sym.$("scenename").hide();
    sym.$("scene2name").show();
    but if you do that, make sure in your CompositionReady code you hide all scenes EXCEPT the 1st one, so the user doesnt see them all instanatly anyway.

  • Do I need to pay to use Edge Animate

    I hace a paid account I'm still in the 30 days I close my paid account  do I need to pay to use Edge Animate ?

    No you do not need to pay currently use Edge Animate.
    From the Edge Animate FAQ at http://html.adobe.com/edge/animate/faq.html under Pricing & Availability:
    How much is Edge Animate and how do I get it?
    As a limited-time introductory offer, a perpetual, non-expiring license of Edge Animate is available for free. Edge Animate is therefore available to both free and complete Creative Cloud members.
    Edge Animate is valued at $499 USD (perpetual license) or $14.99/month (single product subscription).
    Why is Edge Animate free?
    During the preview period for Edge Animate we received tremendous feedback that helped shape the tool into what it is today. To thank our community for actively participating in the development of Edge Animate we are offering the first full release of the product for free.
    How long will Edge Animate be free? What will it cost later?
    After the free introductory offer ends, we anticipate that future versions of Edge Animate will be available to complete Creative Cloud members, as a perpetual license and as a monthly single product subscription.
    Is Edge Animate only available as a subscription product?
    No. Once the current version of Edge Animate is downloaded and installed, it is available to use at any time, without an ongoing subscription.

  • (How can we) Export FXG from Flash Professional using JSFL

    How can we export a selection from Flash Professional as .FXG using JSFL? It appears that this is not possible... just yet! I have added this as a feature request within the Adobe Labs site for Flash Professional. Someone at Adobe suggested that I also explore the forums, so here we are. If you would also like to have this feature added, please let Adobe know by promoting the idea.
    Our use case is this: we have a large Flash file with a library of over one thousand skins and assets that were built in Flash with Adobe's Flex Skins Templates. These stateful, graphical skins were used within a custom theme by several Flex 3 projects. Our ultimate goal is to bring these through Catalyst, maintaining their vectors, and use them to create Spark skins.
    We've got a JSFL that can export each linked library asset, as well as any frame-labeled 'state' within these clips. However, currently we are using exportPNG, which is not ideal as it flattens our vector art into raster images. We are about to try the exportSWF option, and see what Flash Catalyst does with this. Our early attemps with importing swf's haven't been too amazing.
    I'm starting to imagine some cross-product scripting in which we export symbols at a state-by-state level as .swf from Flash, then rebuild these onto layers in Illustrator, and THEN import these into Catalyst...yikes!
    Anyone have a better solution?

    Follow-up:
    Out of pure wishful thinking I decided I would just see what happened if I pretended 'exportFXG' was already a part of JSFL. Based on the signature of 'exportPNG', i tried the following lines:
      var success = fl.getDocumentDOM().exportFXG("file:///C:/mySymbol.fxg"); 
      fl.trace("success:"+success); // output: success:true 
    It worked! Fantastic! I'm not sure if exportFXG is considered still in "beta" and therefore intentionally excluded from the docs, or if it was just an oversight. But at least it gives us something to experiment with.

  • I need help migrating an existing project from Flash Professional CS6 to Flash Builder 4.6.

    I have followed tutorials...instructions on the web...all I get are unsolvable errors.
    I have a large Air application that compiles fine and works in Flash. However I would like to take advantage of the as3xls api which does not work in Flash Professional (for no reason in particular the internet just tells me it won't work because Flash Professional cannot access some part of the Flex framework).
    So I want to make my project work in Flash Builder. However, when I attempt to reference my document class, flash builder gives me an error telling me the package path com.andrewbefus.ModelMapper no longer works. It does this no matter how I select the folder to reference my document class. If I change the path to nothing...Flash Builder is happy with my document class and unhappy with every other class I have made.
    Then I decided to make a new Flash Builder ActionScript file and simply replace the ModelMapper.as document class that Flash Builder created with my completed ModelMapper.as. After some messing around with paths and directories, I got Flash Builder to be happy with my program structure but then all hell broke loose on almost every single Class outside the Flash Builder framework. One by one I attempted to tell Flash Builder where to go to get my components, fl.motion classes, and my custom classes but Flash Builder refused to recognise them unless I reference the folder containing the files, and then proceeded to tell me that the project path of every single class needed to be changed. I imagine if I spend the rest of my day mucking around with this something else will come up.
    I went looking for a tutorial explaining how to migrate a Flash Professional project over to Flash Builder. The closest thing I could come up with told me to just select my fla. file by going Project<Flash Professional<Create project using Fla file... which worked great except refused to compile my project as a desktop application for no sane reason - giving no option to select my project when I attempted to create a new Run Configuration.
    One frustration after another....

    I've also followed all the instructions here:

    Still no luck...

  • Need Help Please with Flash Professional - No Cursor Change on Buttons/Links in Mac OS

    Hi Folks, I am relatively new to Flash Professional but I recently built a very nice flash website with very little problems.  I noticed after I uploaded my site to my server, that my mouse cursor did not change from an arrow to a finger on any of my buttons.  It did change on the hyperlinks, but not on the buttons.  Everything still worked fine but there was no indication to the user that an object was in fact an interactive button.  I found this code:  button1.buttonMode = true; button1.useHandCursor = true; and inserted it for all my buttons and that seemed to fix everything, I tested the site on firefox, ie, and safari.  I am using a PC with windows 7.  When I went to check the website on a Mac powerbook, the cursor did not change on any of the buttons and it does not change on any of my hyperlinks either.  I have searched all over trying to find a solution and have had no luck.  Can anyone please help me with this problem or point me in the right direction?  Any advice would be very much appreciated.  Thanks so much!!!

    Thank you so much for replying!  I did in fact let flash professional create the HTML page for the site and have not altered it at all.  Would you have any other suggestions as to why it's not displaying my links/buttons on a Mac?  I checked out the browsers Firefox, ie, and safari on my pc, but looking thru safari on the Mac, the cursor does not change on any of my links or buttons.  Thanks again so much for the reply, nice to hear from a human instead of reading thousands of posts!  Very much appreciated!!!!!

  • Need help with actionscript (flash professional)

    Ok so its been a while since I've used flash and i need a
    little bit of help. I've searched through the help books and tried
    to figure it out on my own but im stuck.
    I'm making a website for my music page using flash
    professional on Mac OSX.
    I'm trying to make a menu along the left side that when you
    press the "more" button at the bottom of multiple other buttons it
    will make the set of links (which i have as buttons) switch out
    with another set of links. (also buttons)
    I cant get this more button to do it though!
    here is a link to my .fla file
    http://rapidshare.com/files/196874495/website.fla.html
    Help would be GREATLY appreciated.
    Thanks.
    -Ken

    _parent tells the guy that's holding the movieclip (its
    parent) to do something.
    The reason I say something seems corrupted with the file is
    because I took your button out of the movieclip and used it with
    the code you had for the movieclip, which should have worked as you
    had it on(release){ gotoAndPlay(2)} because for whatever reason,
    buttons don't consider the guy holding them as their parent...
    bitter adopted orphans I reckon.
    but it didn't work, and I gave up trying to figure out why.
    Sometimes files just need to find a new home in another
    file.

  • Need help with Adobe Flash Professional! Somewhat urgent!

    In Adobe Flash Professional, How Can I Split The Frames Of An Animated Symbol That Are Placed On The Seed Timeline Without The Symbol Restarting Its Entire Animation After Each Split? I have looked up many online tutorials and none run into this problem.

    My original response stands.  If you want to stop a timeline animation you need to implement a stop() command.
    If you need the animation to start/restart at a specific point then you use a gotoAndPlay() or play() command depending on where that starting point is relative to where you currently are on the timeline.

  • Help needed with flash and web service call

    Hi all,
    I need some help with web services and flash. I'm very new to flash, so please have that in the back of your mind when reading this :-)
    I've got a .swf file, and I would like to display a number received from a web service (using adobe flash professional cs5). Ive added the web service and provided the WSDL, but when i try to "Add Method Call", nothing happens. Why? What am I doing wrong?
    Hope someone can help

    start with the button that causes the text to be displayed.  find what it does (which may not be easy because most templates are coded by novice or intermediate level coders) and follow that trail to the text.  (note:  the text may be in a txt or xml file that's loaded.)
    to have a button release open a file, use:
    yourbtn.onRelease=function(){
    getURL("http://www.adobe.com");

  • Moving from Flash to Adobe Edge - concerns

    Lets Design makes flash banners for some of our clients (we also make flash games).
    We'd like to shft toward html5 animated banners. As a business we do not wish to take a risk and jump to using Adobe Edge / HTML5 if it's deemed too risky. I would like to know if anyone has any reasons for us not to do this shift?
    I would also like to know of this communities opinions on the following:
    1. Their is a post on Adobe Edge examples. Inside this thread are a number of links to peoples examples. A vast majority point to 404 pages and to pages that take an age to load. Should this slow loading example pages be of concern to us and subsequently our clients?
    2. What are the best graphic formats to use for Adobe Edge. I'd like to start using SVG, yet Adobe seems to have a lack of integration between software packages. Where do you create vector SVG and does it form part of a good workflow with Adobe Edge?
    If not, what is the best method for Vector graphics, it seems Edge haas it's issues with dealing with vector?
    3. Does it support sound yet?
    4. What programming can go alongside the animations. Javascript?
    How deep can you program the animations, can you make games?
    5. If you were to recommend a rival software to Adobe Edge, what would be the best alternative?
    Is it better?
    6. If you could say 1 really bad thing about Adobe Edge, what would it be?
    7. How steep is the learning curve for someone who animates in flash?
    I welcome any answers and help you can give me, even just to answer 1 of the questions.
    Thanks and best regards,

    Hi there,
      I'm not sure what page you are talking about that has 404 errors on the examples. The Edge Animate Showcase can be found in the link below which has examples of Edge Animate that all work and load perfectly fine for me:
    http://html.adobe.com/edge/animate/showcase.html
      There's all different options for graphics/image formats for Edge Animate. Ultimately it's up to you and what you want to deliver for your audience, but the link below points to an article written to explain all of the different image types and what their pros/cons are, as well as talks about best practices for images in Edge Animate:
    http://helpx.adobe.com/content/help/en/edge-animate/kb/best-practices-graphics-edge-animat e.html?promoid=KBHBC
      There is a way to add sound in Edge Animate, however it is all dependent upon the browser's support of audio. This thread below will point you in the right direction on code examples to add sound to your file:
    http://forums.adobe.com/message/4736869
      The programming that Edge Animate supports is Javascript, CSS3, and HTML5. Many users have made games using Edge Animate, and you can find links to examples of these in the Edge Animate Showcase link that I posted above.
      At this time there really isn't anything quite like Edge Animate with it's tools and smooth integration into the rest of the Adobe Creative Suite. My suggestion to find rival software is to search on a search engine for HTML5 software.
      The learning curve for Edge Animate for Flash users is minimal. Coming from Flash myself, it only took a couple of days for me to pick up the interface and functionality of Edge Animate. Below is a link to the getting started tutorials on Edge Animate:
    http://helpx.adobe.com/edge-animate/topics.html
    I hope this helps! I know some of these answers are a little vague but my only suggestion is to try out Edge Animate for yourself and see if it's right for you. I know I fell in love with it as soon as I started using it. : )

  • Import flash animation into edge animate

    Hi,
    I need to import a flash vector cartoon style animation into edge animate, do you know how can I do it?
    Kind regards,
    eugenxi

    Hi eugenxi,
    You can use the Export Png Sequence feature included with Flash CS6 to export a series of pngs from your symbol animation (tut by Tom Green):
    http://layersmagazine.com/png-sequence-from-flash-cs6.html
    Then import the pngs to Fireworks, and use John Dunning's plugin to export a symbol directly to Edge Animate:

  • Trying to reinstall CS5, but I've lost the Serial Number from Flash Professional 8, and it's no longer shown on my account page.

    Something like 10 years ago (2004ish), I bought Flash Professional 8, and I upgraded to CS5 back in 2011. Following a number of hardware upgrades, including a new hard drive, I need both serial numbers to reinstall; I've done so several times in the past, but now the Flash 8 number isn't on my account page anymore, and the original e-mail is gone. The chance of finding the box is basically nil, so am I just screwed?

    Helbereth I would recommend contacting our support team directly at Contact Customer Care and provide any alternate e-mail or phone numbers which the other software title may have been registered under.  You can find additional details on how to locate registered serial numbers at Find your serial number quickly - http://helpx.adobe.com/x-productkb/global/find-serial-number.html.

  • How to add Creative Commons code from GitHub to my Edge Animate project?

    Hi there!
    I am pretty new to Edge Animate, and I am trying to figure out how to add in a GitHub Creative Commons html code to my Edge Animate project.
    I have a feeling there is an easy solution- which I can't seem to figure out...
    Thanks in advance!

    Yes- thanks for asking!
    I would like to use an html code that is available in the GitHub Creative Commons library. I would like to import the html code for the collapsable force layout from the Creative Commons GitHub library found here: http://bl.ocks.org/mbostock/1062288#index.html into my Edge Animate project.
    I am hoping that once I have been able to import this code, that I can than use Edge Animate to customize how it is displaying- i.e. add call-out boxes to the bubbles etc.
    Any advice you may have would be greatly appreciated!

  • Create Flash Content for Pocket PC "Windows Mobile 2003 SE" from Flash Professional 8

    Hi all,
    I would like to create a standalone flash application on my
    two pocket PCs (Dell Axim x50 and Qtek S110). These pocket PC
    uses the "Windows Mobile 2003 SE" operating system.
    At this time, I have installed the "Flash Player 7 for Pocket
    PC" on my 2 pocketPCs. Apparently, I have not flash player
    application
    that is able to load .swf files but only a plugin for Pocket
    IE. Do you confirm?
    I have the license to use "Flash Professional 8". Could you
    explain me the procedure to publish flash content for my Pocket PC?
    Which Flash version I have to use?
    Which Action Script I have to use?
    Is it possible to test my application with Flash Pro 8?
    Finally, I would like to develop a Flash application in
    fullscreen mode and not embedded into Pocket IE. Is it possible to
    realize
    that with Flash Pro 8?
    Sincerely,
    Romain

    Hi Romain.
    As at the time of this writing,
    I suggest you have a look at Flash Assist by AntMobile
    (www.antmobile.com)
    It will allow you to view Flash content at full screen.
    It officially supports Flash 5 and 6, but I've used it with
    Flash 7 for the PPC.
    Flash 7 for the PPC supports AS 2.0
    Macromedia hasn't released a stand alone player /
    distribution Kit, or CDK for Flash Player 7 for the PPC, and I am
    anxiously awaiting that as well.
    However, the stand alone player for the Flash Player 6 for
    the PPC is available
    You will want to change your publish settings to Flash 7,
    AS2.0
    Do some hunting around.
