Help with flash CS4 please!

Hello, I am in school and I have an assignment to complete on flash, but when I try to make an object, an annoying little box appears around my object instead of having nothing around it, I passed this off as nothing and tried to use the selection tool, but then it didnt go all checkered like it should and instead that box came back. Ignored it again, I tried using the bone tool, but it only is working on one shape and it will not go to others to link them! This is what the box on the object looks like and it is really frustrating me. Please help!

You have the 'object drawing' tool selected. On your tool bar near the bottom there is a button that is just a circle (hover over it and it will say 'object drawing' (it is below your paintbucket colour palet and above the fill lock button. Providing yours looks like mine! just click on this and it will toggle object drawing on and off. you can break apart objects you have already drawn as objects by selecting the shape and pressing 'cmd' + 'B' (ctrl + b on a pc)

Help with flash buttons please

hi i wondered if anyone could take a look at this for me
please?
http://beechhouse.yorkwebsites.co.uk
why is it in explorer you have to click the button to
activate it and then click it again to go to the page? and how can
i fix this please?

It's IE-only behaviour as a result of changes Microsoft made
earlier this
year to their browser, regarding how Active Content (Flash,
Quicktime etc)
is handled, after losing a high profile court case.

Using Flash buttons for navigation can negatively affect your

Need help with reviewer CS4

I am usung the Captivate reviewer to distribute draft modules.
The problem I am havving is the .LOCK file - when someone goes to review the module, they have to specify the location of a temp file. (the .lock file). When they have finished that module, then they have to either specify a new location for the next module, ot manually delete the lock file.
Is there a way to disable the comments logging feature, or have the lock file automatically deleted?
Thanks
Terry

Looking forward to your suggestions!

Help with access control please

So I'm trying to set up my brother's PSP to the wirless network through MAC address timed access. What I want to do is make it so that he can only access it through certain times in the day. I'm having troubles with actually getting it to work. Everytime I set it up, the PSP only show's up as a DHCP client and not a Wireless client. I tried the option panel with the add wireless clients through the first try access. Could I get some help with this issue please? Thanks!

Just to calm your fears... There is no conspiracy. If someone had an answer or a suggestion they would post it.

Possible to use FlexUnit 4 with Flash CS4?

When I try to compile and run FlexUnit 4 tests from Flash CS4, there is a run-time error that no tests were found. I believe the cause is that the custom [Test] metadata didn't make it into the SWF, because MXMLC by default does not keep custom AS3 metadata. And unfortunately, Flash CS4 doesn't allow you to supply additional compiler arguments.
Is there a way to use FlexUnit 4 with Flash CS4?
Robert

... metadata which is part of the Flex Framework, and not the Flash Player API.
This may seem like splitting hairs but I would disagree with this particular statement. Metadata tags are a general mechanism that is not specific to the Flex framework. I can create and use my own tags in an ActionScript-only project. The tags are part of the Flash Player API because they can be accessed at run-time through flash.utils.describeType.
Certainly, the metadata can be accessed at compile-time as well. Flex uses tags like [Bindable] for code-generation magic. But FlexUnit is using metadata at run-time, as I understand it.

Help with flash video buffering

I need help with flash video buffering. I've created a
buffering graphic to show up when the clip is loading. The problem
that I'm having is that when the video finishs playing, the buffer
is empty and the graphic pops back on. The following is the code
that I'm using to call and buffer the video. Any help would be
great!
stop();
var nc:NetConnection = new NetConnection();
nc.connect(null);
var ns:NetStream = new NetStream(nc);
ns.setBufferTime(10);
ns.onStatus = function(info){
if(info.code == "NetStream.Buffer.Full"){
bufferClip._visible = false;
if(info.code == "NetStream.Buffer.Empty"){
bufferClip._visible = true;
if (info.code == "NetStream.Stop") {
bufferClip._visible = false;
theVideo.attachVideo (ns);
ns.play("my_clip.flv");
rewindButton.onRelease= function(){
ns.seek(0);
playButton.onRelease= function(){
ns.pause();
}

Again thank you for your help in advance...

Need Help with script: CS4 Flash Buttons

I created a 3 button bar using Flash CS4. It will link to three different HTML pages in a website. This is one of the three scripts I have on the first frame of the main timeline, the code is for one of the buttons, the other two are really the same with differing button numbers. This code does now open the page up in a NEW BROWSER window, but I would like the page to open in the existing window and not in a new one. The 3 buttons also have down states identified by a frame label of “hold”, I would like the script to set the hold frame or down state to be displayed when the proper page is loaded in the browser . Will someone please suggest to me what I need to add to this script to achieve this, your time and effort will be appreciated.
stop();
button1_btn.addEventListener(MouseEvent.CLICK, illus);
function illus(e:MouseEvent):void {
var targetURL:URLRequest=new URLRequest("illustrator.html");
navigateToURL(targetURL);

Thank you Todd... How about the code to display the Down stage when displayed,
got any thoughts on this.
Thanks'

Need help with flash player installation please !!!!

Hello,
I need help with my flash player installation because every time I access a movie this is the message I receive.
This content on Xfinity TV is not available for viewing with Chrome's "Incognito" mode. To play this video using Chrome, please view this page without "Incognito" mode.
Still having problems? Try resetting your Flash player license.

Incognito mode is a Google Chrome setting when you open a new window (Cmd+Shift+N on a Mac Ctrl+Shift+N on Windows) It opens a "private" window with no cookies and no tracking. The problem with it is that when you disable cookies, your license files are not sent to the site (whetehr it's YouTube or xFinity or any other that uses license files for paid content) and it treats you as if you're a first time visitor. Paid videos won't play wihtout the cookies sending the license file info.
This isn't a Flash Player setting. It's in Chrome. I did some research and according to Google, "Incignito" mode is off by default, and can ONLY be activate by the keyboard shortcut. There IS a way to disable it from the registry http://dev.chromium.org/administrators/policy-list-3#IncognitoModeAvailability

ERROR with Flash Player Please help!!

My Roomate was looking at the programs under control panel and well clicked on one of the flash player components and next thing I know it is uninstalled...
My game chat will not work or sign on due to this and I have tryed everything I can think of but I dont know what I need to install or do to fix this.
The error I got was:( sorry I do not kow how to do screen shots)
Adobe Flash Player 10
An action Script error has ccurred.
Error.Error#2134: Cannot create SharedObject
at flash.net::SharedObject$/getlocal()
at njChat_fla::MainTimeline/frame1()
Please if any one can help with this it would be awesome!

A few questions:
what is your operating system & version (also, 32-bit or 64-bit)?
what is your web browser & version (also, in case of Internet Explorer, 32-bit or 64-bit)?
what is your Flash Player version (see http://www.adobe.com/software/flash/about/)?
The error message you listed usually shows a problem of the web application, not on your side. Unless you have the Flash Player debug version installed. What does Add/Remove Programs list under Adobe Flash Player?

Help with flash animation!

Hi there! My name is Dean and I've bought Adobe Flash CS4 4 months ago. I'm very new to flash and I've already made my first animation -
http://www.swfcabin.com/open/1267200676
but I'm here to ask a question.
Well, I've been riding this cartoon -
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=bbUqEPUZ-ds
and I was wondering, how did they do the hands and legs animation? It looks like the bone tool, but whenever I use the bone tool, I can't get it right! I always get wrong edges! Here are some pictures of my failures -
http://img202.imageshack.us/gal.php?g=fail5.jpg
anyway, I just couldn't get it right and I think it's because I draw it wrong.
Please, any help will be awesome!

Oh and by the way, about the lipsync, I think its a little jumpy, How can i make it better? (Like the Cartoon on top^)
Thanks!
