How to animate/delay individual frames in Flash CS3

I need to animate 12 layers and I need layer 1 to be 2
seconds, layer 2 at .5 seconds and so on......
How do you change the individual frame delay in Flash CS3 so
that they don't just keep animating fast and never stopping??
Help!!

Hmmm - not sure i understand your issue. F5 (insert frames)
will lengthen
the "exposure" of the layer. As to how to prevent them from
"animating
fast" - I don't understand what you are referring to - do you
need to change
the frame rate? When you say "never stopping" what do you
mean? Flash loops
by default in the player (playhead goes from last frame back
to frame 1 and
continues to loop).

How do I import individual frames from iMovie into iPhoto?

How do I import individual frames from iMovie into iPhoto? Or how do I export individual frames from iMovie into iPhoto? My final goal is to have a DVD of individual photos from a video I recently shot. Thanks

Here is one way to do it, although you will see there could be variations.
1) Open iMovie
2) Start a new project - name it Stills for iPhoto (or a name of your choice)
3) Go to your EVENT. Find the spot with the cursor that you want a photo of. Right-click (or control-click if you don't have a mouse) and select ADD STILL FRAME TO PROJECT.
4) The photo should be in the Project called Stills for iPhoto.
5) Right-click (control-click) on the photo and select REVEAL IN FINDER.
6)When the finder window opens, right-click and select COPY. Go to your Desktop or a folder of your choice and right-click PASTE
7) Drag the photo from your Desktop to iPhoto

How do I update Java for Adobe Flash CS3?

Hi,
When I ran Secunia Software Inspector today it told me that
the version of Java I have installed on my computer is out of date.
It tells me that it is finding 3 out-of-date files:
Once here:
C:\Program Files\Java\jre1.6.0_04\bin\java.exe
Twice here:
C:\Windows\System32\java.exe
and three times here:
C:\Program Files\Adobe\Adobe Flash CS3\JVM\bin\java.exe
I updated Java via the Sun website and consequently the first
and second warnings disappeared when I reran the Software
Inspector.
The software inspector however is still finding an
out-of-date Java version here:
C:\Program Files\Adobe\Adobe Flash CS3\JVM\bin\java.exe
Question is: How do I update Java for Adobe Flash CS3?
Is it adequate to copy the updated file "java.exe" from
"C:\Program Files\Java\jre1.6.0_04\bin\" to "C:\Program
Files\Adobe\Adobe Flash CS3\JVM\bin\" or do I need to do anything
else?
Any help will be much appreciated.

Hi
I have the same problem of you, and the same dont find a
solution. Me it's Kaspersky Anti Virus (AV) which find this
problem.
So (and I dont know if this solution is perfect), but I open
Flash CS3 with the Java update choiced and apparently Flash
fonctionnely well and Kaspersky dont find this
prob now. But I dont never use Java in Flash (or without that
I know that..), and same, I dont know at what Java is used in Flash
I think that "JRE v 1.6.0_04" and more recent Java version is
not good, because it's not quite the same Java application that in
Flash CS3, In Flash CS3 it's "J2RE" and
not "JRE".
The history of all Java versions (and this) is here (
http://java.sun.com/products/archive/)
(but in all this versions... seriousely it's a true shambles !)
If you want the last version for J2RE in this archives it's v
1.4.2.18 but the last version is J2RE 1.4.2.19 but dont again in
this archives
(search on Java site, maybe first page ? I dont remember
where I to find it...). But the problem... it's that this last
version (19) is always detected bad by my AV...
So I decide to use just the next version (v 1.5) and last
version in this series (in archives site) which is the "JDK/JRE -
5.0 v 5.0.16" but again named "Java 2 Platform
Standard Edition (J2SE) 5.0 Update 16" in this dowload next
archives page
http://java.sun.com/products/archive/j2se/5.0_16/index.html),
so well again named "Java 2" in this page (that which dont
the case for the equivalent same download page for Java 6...)
(Choice "JRE 5.0 Update 16" in this page)
For instal "JRE 5.0 Update 16":
1) Supp all files and folders in "JVM" (Java Virtual Machine)
folder in Flash CS3 (but dont supp this folder, empty now) and save
this contents in archive in you have
affraid.
2) dl "JRE 5.0 Update 16", directly in this page if you want:
(https://cds.sun.com/is-bin/INTERSHOP.enfinity/WFS/CDS-CDS_Developer-Site/en_US/-/USD/View ProductDetail-Start?ProductRef=jre-1.5.0_16-oth-JPR@CDS-CDS_Dev
eloper)
3) In install, choice "personal instal" (or +/- the same
terms) and choice the "JVM" folder of you Flash CS3
and AV dont detect this version same a bad file

How to export height quality gif frm Flash CS3?

Hi,
When i export a .GIF movie from Flash CS3 , the movie quality is not good, here is some dot dots in the gif movie.
How to export height quality gif ? . Kindly explain pls as soon possible...
Thanks & Regards
Mohan

GIF is a color restricted format with on/off support for transparency. There's really no settings you can tweak to output a better GIF. You have a drop-down during GIF sequence export to allow transparency, select the amount of colors (up to 256) and you can choose dither to save a little filespace. The only 2 things in there that really matter are dither and amount of colors used to export.
If your content is very similar (e.g. not a lot of complex gradients/shadows/etc) and is limited in color use turning down the amount of colors used and dithering is your only option.
Make sure you're exporting the GIF via "Publish Settings" so you get a single animated GIF and not file->export->movie because this creates a separate sequence of GIF images for each frame.

How to create a comment form in Flash CS3

I am trying to create an add comment form in Flash cs3. I
have the background design and the text input areas and sub mit
buttons. But how do I get the submit button to add the comment to a
different area in the same flash file? My inputs and buttons are on
the left side of the stage and my display comments is on the right
side of the stage. How do I connect the two?

The user types something into a text input space and when the
user then uses the submit button, you want that same, user entered,
text to display in another, different, text area? If that's the
case then make that second text area a dynamic textfield and set
its text property to the text property of the input text
space.

How to creating a web banner in Flash CS3?

Hi all,
I'm very new to Flash CS3. Can anyone give me a step-by-step
instructions on how to make a banner for a web-site? Or a link were
i can find step-by-step instructions?
I have googled it but found no real help. I have tryed
"Youtube" hoping to even fine any one (most likely a child) with
directions on how to do this. Funny thing is that it seems most 8
year olds are better at Flash CS3 than I am & i'm 45.
Anyway, if you can help please make it simple or for the
simple minded. :)
Thanks to all!!
BJ

I understand your pain...I just posted a similar request
earlier today for help but finally figured it out on my own. I've
done lots of searching online and used Adobe's Flash Classroom in a
Book and also took an online ed2go class and I still don't have a
good handle on Flash. Nothing seems to give clear step by step
directions on animating images for web banners. You just have to do
a lot of trial and error. These websites may help if you don't have
time for the classes:

How to develop a search engine in flash cs3

How to use Text Layout Framework in Flash CS3?

Hi,
I perferctly now how to get TLF to work in CS4.
As far as I know, the the base code is in AS3 so I should be able to locate the classes in CS3 and use it in Flash CS3.
I appreciate if there is anyone who can help me with this?

I'm not that knowledgeable about Flash Pro, however, I'd be quite surprised if you could make this work. CS4 added Flash Player 10 support. That includes a compiler update for Vector - a new AS3 feature. Minimally you'll have to get Flash CS3 to generate FP10 level content and compile with the playerglobals.swc from FP10. If you can get that far than adding textLayout.swc to your project should be straightforward.
Maybe someone else has an idea.
Hope that helps,
Richard

How to link a button to another frame in Flash CS3?

I have a button, and on it, there is this code:
on(press){
gotoAndPlay("second");
the frame I want to link to is labeled "second", but the link is not working. What is wrong?

your button is a movieclip button and "second" is not in that timeline or "second" is not in the timeline that contains your button.
to start, don't add code to any object. assign your button an instance name (eg, btn) and use:
var tl:MovieClip=this; // assuming this timeline contains "second"
btn.onPress=function(){ // and you should use an onRelease for this.
tl.gotoAndPlay("second");

How do I make timelines work independently - Flash CS3 AS2

I've just done my first website in Flash, got all the navigation and buttons to work, but just have a final problem. I want a slideshow timeline (about 30 tweened images to run independently on a loop throughout the website, whilst still being able to use the navigation. Is this possible? Help would be greatly appreciated.

If the work layer is supposed to be the images tweening, then you do not have it as a separate movieclip. Everything on that timeline you showed is on the same timeline. Try copying the frames of that layer (select, right click, choose Copy Frames), then create a new movieclip symbol (insert, new symbol, Movieclip), and then right click on the first frame in that new movieclip's timeline and select Paste Frames. You will now have a separate movieclip of the images layer that you can place on that other timeline in place of what's there now... it should resemble the Background layer when you have it planted in that main timeline.

How to target a file(pdf) from Flash CS3

Hello,
I have some rather heavy stuff that have been converted to a
more friendly pdf file
I have also created a print button in my fla file in Flash.
How do I set it up so when you press the print button, it
opens the standard printer dialog window or download the file and
open the pdf file so the client can decide what do do with it?? or
something similar to that.
I know that there is a "print" function in the action library
but I just can't make it work
The Pdf File is in a different scene that when a press the
print button it goes to it with no problem.
on (release) {
_root.gotoAndPlay("Scene12", 1);
I will really, really, really, appreciate some of your could
take me through the procedure.
Regards

You are better off simply linking to the PDF from the Flash,
using getURL or another like function, so that the PDF opens in
Adobe Reader. Adobe Reader handles the printing for you
automatically, and Flash printing is not what it should be.

Customizing DataGrid component in Flash CS3 using AS3

Can anyone please explain how to customize the DataGrid

How do you remove/change the border?
My day has been lost searching for this answer. Flash

AS3. ASDGRH.
Thanks in advance,

I hope you've found a resolution to this by now, but I just noticed the discussion title when posting a captioning issue.
In a nutshell, create a listener on your FLVPlayback module with a VideoEvent.SKIN_LOADED event. You'll also need to set the showCaptions in your FLVPlaybackCaptioning object to true. Apparently, if the captions are set to false when the player object loads the skin, the captions aren't recognized and your captions toggle will require an extra click to activate the captions.
Here's the link to another discussion on the same topic with all of the details:
http://kb2.adobe.com/cps/402/kb402452.html
Also, have you had any issues with the caption button in the FLVPlayback skin not showing up? That's my current issue. Here's the discussion for it:
