I want to make it a AS3 project from AS2

I am working on a flash file made with AS 1&2, with lots
of layers and library items. I want to make it a AS3 project. How
should I go about this?

First, change as much of the code as you can to be AS3 code.
Then, change your publish settings to AS3. Then, run the file and
fix all of the errors that arise... the first list of errors is not
likely all of them. Errors are often revealed in stages... as one
is fixed, another is detected.
Another option is to start from scratch. This may be better
if you have no familiarity with AS3--you will learn about it in the
process. You can build it gradually and test as you go rather than
starting with a potential flock of code issues.

    You have to add another email address on one of the two devices that you can use as the "You can be reached for FaceTime at" contact address and then remove/uncheck the Apple ID email address as the contact address on that device. The way you are currently setup is like to trying to call yourself on your on phone - from your own phone.
    Using the iPad as the example go to Settings>FaceTime>You can be reached for FaceTime at>Add another email address. Then add a working email address in the next window. Apple will verify the email. Go to the inbox of that email account, read and respond to Apple's email in order to complete the verification process.
    Go back to Settings>FaceTime>Uncheck the Apple ID email address and make sure that the new email address is checked/selected (you will see it being verified again) and that new email address will be your contact address for the iPad.

  • I want to make a CD of images from an Aperture album

    I would like to make a CD or DVD of the images that i have assembled in an album that is part of a larger project. I thought i could do this but cant figure out how to do it. If there is not a simple way to do this, can you let me know a work-around. It seems strange not to be able to do that - to back up or to distribute your images easily.

    Igcnyc,
    A few options:
    Use iDVD
    Or export versions to folder and burn from that folder
    Or this Aperture plug-in http://www.apple.com/downloads/macosx/aperture/burntodisc.html

  • Fireflies using AS3, conversion from AS2

    Hey guys. I'm new to AS3. I do know the bare basics. I figure someone on here will know more than my teacher. (I'm paying for a class to learn actionscript, and as it turns out, he does as little of it as possible.) I wanted to have fireflies floating on my project, like particle effects. I have everything working with a tweaked version of an AS2 file I came across. Everything works in AS2, but I have no idea how to convert the syntax to work in my AS3 file. I get that they're different from each other, but can someone help me acheive the same results in AS3?
    http://www.mediafire.com/?o3qcc9bbt8b4p73
    The original is the file I'm trying to modify, and fireflies.fla is my modifications, in case anyone wants to see how poorly coded my translation was. It keeps telling me that it can't set the value for a String, though I'm not sure why.
    There are two basic components. "Pointer" is an invisible instance that the fireflies use as an anchor (so they can't go off the page), and mcObj is called from the library and is the firefly graphic with coding.
    The actionscript for the the parent is:
    Stage.align = "";
    Stage.scaleMode = "noScale";
    Stage.showMenu = false;
    Stage.onResize = false;
    damp = 0.65;
    Fat = 2;
    limx = 1000;
    limy = 100;
    maxScale = 8;
    bugNum = 15;
    startX = pointer._x;
    startY = pointer._y;
    pointer._visible = 0;
    for (i=1; i<=bugNum; i++) {
        attachMovie("bug", "bug"+i, i);
        dot = eval("bug"+i);
        dot._xscale = dot._yscale=maxScale;
        dot.color = new Color(dot);
        dot.color.setRGB("0xFFFF66");
        dot._x = startX+Math.random()*600;
        dot._y = startY+Math.random()*200;
    btn.onRollOver = function() {
        _root.light.gotoAndPlay(2);
    btn.onRollOut = function() {
        _root.light.gotoAndStop(1);
    And the coding for the firefly is:
    this._x = this._x+this.vx;
    this._y = this._y+this.vy;
    this.vx = this.vx+(Math.random()*2-1);
    this.vy = this.vy+(Math.random()*2-1);
    this.vx = this.vx*_parent.damp;
    this.vy = this.vy*_parent.damp;
    this._xscale = this._xscale-_parent.fat;
    this._yscale = this._yscale-_parent.fat;
    if (_parent.startX+_parent.limx<this._x) {
        this.vx = -this.vx;
        this._x = _parent.startX+_parent.limx;
    if (this._x<_parent.startX-_parent.limx) {

    Anyone who can help, please do. I need to have this done by the end of the week :/

  • Creating a new RH9 HTML project from legacy project

    Hello,
    I am contemplating creating a new project from scratch from the monster that my current RH9 HTML project has become. I would appreciate advice on whether this is the best approach and if so, how to proceed. Here is background:
    I have an RH9 HTML project with 3500+ topics. This project was created with the first version of RoboHelp, back in the Blue Sky software days, about 15 years ago. Each time the RH software was sold to a new company, we ran into major issues with conversions and upgrades. The project kept growing and several times we ran into problems that had to be escalated to the top levels of support with the current owner of the software. Many times the best we could do is create workarounds. The number of files created over the years for this project has become enormous and I'm sure there are many which could be safely deleted but I'm not sure how to find out which ones without lots of trial and painful error.
    The most recent issue that came up was the sudden disappearance of all links between map IDs and topic titles for my context-sensitive topics. I posted here but eventually went to Adobe Support. After long and involved conversation and testing, we determined that one of the topics was corrupted and I was advised to start deleting topics and adding them back until the bad one was discovered. It was a very time-consuming process, and is an example of the other problems encountered, usually one major meltdown like this per year, give or take.
    The project was first created in MS Word 97, with lots of fancy formatting and frills. Eventually I was convinced by members of this forum to switch to RH HTML, so most of that formatting went away, but sometimes not in a nice way.
    So bottom line, I have way too many files, lots of them are messy, and I want to make a nice, clean project and have an easier life.
    What do you experts have to say?
    Thank you.
    Carma

    Good luck?
    The problem with something like this is that it sounds like the topics have built up some horrible code along the way.
    Would you like me to take a prima facie look?
    Contact me via my site if you would.

  • Moved iMovie 09 project from one computer to another - now timing is wrong!

    Hello,
    I wanted to copy some Events and Projects from my Dad's older MacBook Pro to my iMac. So I just copied the event folders (from <Home Directory>/Movies/iMovie Events/) and the project files (from <Home Directory>/Movies/iMovie Projects/) to the corresponding folders on my iMac.
    I then opened up iMovie on my iMac and saw that the Events and Projects were there. So far, so good.
    The first problem I noticed was when I exported one of the projects from my iMac using QuickTime. The duration of the resulting .MOV file was about 30 seconds shorter than the duration of the project!
    I watched the Project in iMovie, and found that the clips in the Project were 'cut off'. For example, the clip in the Project would say it was 10 seconds long, but when you played the Project the clip was only 7 seconds long.
    How could this be? Is the speed of the Project somehow tied to the computer that created the project? i.e. perhaps the speed of the processor could impact this? I highly doubt it, as it would make it impossible to move projects from one computer to another.
    Bottom line - the identical Project file on my iMac (with the same underlying events) will produce a different exported movie file than the exact same Project file on my Dad's laptop. Specifically, my version will be shorter and the clips will be cut off.
    Any ideas would be greatly appreciated....

    The macrumours link just telss you how to move the events which is relatively straightforward.
    Alot of advice just seems to rest with leave the projects on your internal drive as they don't take up much space.
    However, http://karsten.schluter.googlepages.com/im08tricks has a description of how to move the projects and then 'fool' imovie into where the projects are stored.
    Not very flexible but it does allow you to 'clear' your macbook yet when you restore the sym-link file to the right place and restart imovie you can reconnect to all your old projects and events without yellow triangles of death appearing.
    By the by apple needs to sort this out as archiving old projects and events together and preserve the editing is a really basic requirment I think.
    PS anyone found out how to merge projects yet? Another basic function that seems to be lacking.

  • I just finish a subtitling on a 60 min project now I want to make a dvd

    I just finish a subtitling on a 60 min project now I want to make a dvd out of it , first I compressed it using compressor with 90 min best dvd preset , Now I don`t know what tod od , any help ?

    Now you get to read the DVD Studio Pro Users Manual and do the tutorials included on the DVD SP disc.
    Sorry, but by the time someone has written a walk through for you here, you could have probably read the manual twice.
    If you have a problem understanding a particular aspect -sure, ask away.

    I have iMovie 8.0.6 and an iPhone 4S.  I took hours of videos on vacation (Australia and New Zealand) and want to make a movie.  I've imported the first batch into iMovie and started the project.  I just realized that I shot both horizontally and vertically and when I preview (on full-screen) what I've combined, first it's wide-screen, then it's tall, narrow with wide black sides. 
    The film looks choppy, no flow, since it alternates horizontally and vertically.
    I can import the vertical clips two ways:  "Full-Original Size", or "Large 960x540."  But the vertical clips have very short, fat people.
    This didn't happen with my Flip HD; the movies are smooth and terrific.  My heart is breaking.....please, how can I make the videos match?

    Yes, I'd like to use all the video I shot, put it together with music, titles, etc. and make it consistant.  when it goes from full screen to this vertical, narrow clip, it's very awkward.....and it's so narrow, it's hard to see what I'm looking at; my eyes don't make the adjustment quickly.

    All slides in my project are set to 3 seconds. I want them to show for 5 seconds, and want to make this change in ALL the slides, not one by one. Any idea? Thanks

    Would have been easier if you did this before creating the slides (Preferences, Defaults).
    For existing slides:
    Activate filmstrip
    Use CTRL-A to select all slides
    In Properties Panel change time to 5 secs

  • G'day.  I am using iMovie 11 and need to clear disk space.  How can I do that using an external drive, leaving me the option to go back and make changes or access old events or projects from that external drive?

    G'day.  I am using iMovie 11 and need to clear disk space.  How can I do that using an external drive, leaving me the option to go back and make changes or access old events or projects from that external drive?

    The slightly bigger question is whether you want to move all movie content to the external drive (essentially meaning that drive will always need to be attached when you're working with your videos), or whether you just want to archive older videos off to the external drive.
    If you want to move all videos, then just move the 'Movies' folder in your home directory to the external drive, then create an alias of the external 'Movies' back in to your home directory. Now the 'Movies' icon in your home directory will point to the external drive and everything will just work (as long as the external drive is attached when you launch iMovie)
    If you want to archive older movies then each Movie should have its own subdirectory within your Movies folder. These can easily be moved off to the external drive, and moved back should you ever need to work on those movies again.

  • What is an alternative to bins? Sometimes I want to make custom transitions and I need a place to store them for easy use.

    What is an alternative to bins? Sometimes I want to make custom transitions and I need a place to store them for easy use.

    Either projects or events. You can make a compound clip in a event used to hold favorites. Add a couple of generator items to it and apply the custom transition. You can copy and paste from the compound clip to any project. Hold everything you want into the one event. It probably won't ever get very big, and the render files can be dumped at any time. You can simply move the event from machine to machine or place to place as needed, just as you can other custom content, like keyboard layouts and custom color presets.

  • Loading an AS2 swf into a AS3 project?

    I have an AS2 swf that is merely an image gallery made with a few components. I tried loading this swf into an AS3 project I am working on and it seems to load in and play properly in my AS3 file. I'm not looking to communicate with the AS2 swf with AS3 code, I just want to display it and be able to use the component buttons in the AS2 file that play or stop the images from being played.  I was wondering if using this will cause any potential issues in my AS3 project. It seems to render and work fine on my machine. Thanks

    as2 swfs will play without problem when loaded into an as3 swf.

  • AS3 project development into Flashbuilder

    I have been using Flex3 for mxml flex RIA development and I do pure AS3 development with Flash CS3 resources, which in most cases I code in Flex Builder but test and compile in Flash AS3. Twisted I know but the reasons are simple:
    1. I can't access the fl components packages in Flex Builder easily (I have heard of ways to do so but having had a chance to research).
    2. I am often using resources from the library in a .fla file
    3. Clients in most cases have Flash but not Flex and expect a FLA
    4. I also use systems like SWFAddress so I need to compile to a .swf and test live or test the .swf in a standalone player
    Request:
    So firstly I know flex has its own components that are part of the framework but why not give us Developers easy access to the fl flash components (hence Flash Builder)?
    There needs to be an easy way of importing and using a FLA based AS3 project in Flash Builder. I heard about a Flex component that does that but why not at least give access to the library content off a FLA?
    I noticed it expects an AS3 project to be set out as Flex Builder does, using an application .as file named as that project. In the launch configuration you need to be able to browse and set your own application .as (that maybe the document class from the FLA). This would help the above request by letting users export/test in their current file/folder structure.
    Just my intial feedback.
    Cheers
    Elliot Rock

    Also, the best (and most official) way to suggest features is to log an enhancement request in the public Flex bug base at http://bugs.adobe.com/flex/.
    You may want to search to see if these have already been suggested and if so, vote on the issue. If not, file a new enhancement request and encourage people to vote on it.  

  • AS3 Project in Flash Builder

    Hi I am an experienced AS3 developer working on a Mac, been working in the CS4 IDE and using Textmate for html, PHP etc. I am very keen to use Flash Builder IDE to build my AS3 projects. I have been able to create actionscript projects but when I try to incorporate FLA and the library assets in FLAs I get stuck.The way I want to work is to use CS4  for creating graphics, timeline animation, so when I run the project it compiles the fla and scripts as if I was in CS4 ide.
    So my question: Is there any good tutorials or sites that can guide me thru setting up an Actionscript project in Flash Builder and manipulation of stage, timeline and library assets from an FLA?

    Firstly flashbuilder doesn't use a timeline, it can use assets in a CS4 compiled flash file, but knows nothing about the fla format. A good starting point would probably be to down load the tour deflex which has a lot of  flex examples with the source.
    http://www.adobe.com/devnet/flex/tourdeflex/
    there is also the cookbook page
    http://www.adobe.com/devnet/logged_in/esullivan_cookbook_20.html
    this is a great site for resources when you run into problems
    http://blog.flexexamples.com/
    Adobe also have a lot of video tutorials which are great to get an idea of just how Builder works.
