Importing a seperate flash document

Hi, I'm trying to import another Flash file into my Flash
document. What im trying to import is a file with script that
handles email, so a "contact form", but i want this to sit in my
original file? I've tried searching for: MovieClipLoader classes in
Flash but with no luck. Bit of a novice here so could really do
with a heads up.
Really appreciate some advice.
Thanks

Try loadMovie() or loadMovieNum() to load external SWF files
into or
onto another Flash movie.

Where did you search?? It's covered in the Flash help file.
> Bit of a novice here so
> could really do with a heads up.
Handling different timelines and the whole referencing
involved is not
something I'd suggest doing as a beginner.
The problem I foresee is that the email script might work on
its own,
but stop working as soon as you have loaded that movie into
the first.
That has to do with variable scope and will give you
headaches at first.
Maybe MovieClip._lockroot helps you avoid digging too deep.
Check the
manual for details.

How to encapsulate two games in a new flash document

Hi mates!
Now that I have my first two games I want to encapsulate them in a new document!
Here is my idea:
Create a new document with 4 keyframes in the main timeline.
The first one will accommodate the title and two "play" buttons (each allowing to play a game).
The second one will contain the first game.
The third one will contain the second game.
The last keyframe will contain the scores.
Each game contains a movieclip that is being controlled by a main class that I wrote using as3.0. For example imagine that one of the games is a simple rectangle that the user moves with the arrow keys. The motion code is inside the main document class. The second game is something similar.
So, how do I "import" the games (that were developed totally independent of each other ) to the keyframes of my new flash document?
Could you help me?
Thanks in advance

Importing the swf's will destroy any actionscript they have. You'll need to copy the timelines of the games into movieclips in your other file.
You might instead consider just loading the games dynamically, making the main file more of a loading/summary platform that you use to communicate with the loaded games. This approach would likely allow you to easily add even more games as long as you have a similar communication scheme established.

Need a query string to a specific point and zoom in a public GIS Flash document

I am working with a client's website, and have no developer access to the Flash document, only public access.
I have been given the url for a county map that is presented in an interactive Flash document.
http://68.156.95.45/newberrygis//#1
Client would like me to focus in on their specific development, which requires panning the map and zooming in.
How can I find a query string that will help me to do that?

The functionality of the GIS map was important. I was given the email for the person in charge of the map, who helped me out. It appeared that he was able to outline the road in the neighborhood that I needed to focus on. That provided a parcel ID, which in turn made it possible to focus in on the proper area. This is supposition on my part; perhaps he has other info that gave him the parcel ID.
I'm not a huge fan of Flash on other than desktops and laptops, but it is what it is, client needs to use it, I need to help the client out!

Loading a webpage within a flash document

Hi, is it possible to load a webpage withing a flash document,
this is what i want to happen, i want the flash to stop animating/looping (i already have that done)
and then instead of opening a seperate page to load a website i want it to load within the swf.
CS4 ActionScript 3
Please help, thanks

yes, you can display html text in an html-enabled textfield but, the html page will probably not display as you expect because of flash textfields support for a limited number of html tags.

Importing jpeg into Flash

When I import a jpeg image into a flash document the edges
become jagged, not smooth and straight. I tried recreating the logo
in a separate flash doc (which did not have jagged edges) and
importing into the flash doc, but had the same problem. Does anyone
know how to correct this problem?

I don't know the why of it. I don't have this problem most of the time, but I have heard it come up before--I don't remember the solution though. It may have involved importing the image into something that is already scaled smaller.
Anyways, here's a couple of things to check while waiting for someone who might know more to come along.
First, select one of the images and select Modify -> Transform -> Remove Transform. If the Remove Transform option is grayed out, then nevermind.
If that didn't do anything, try dragging one of the images out to the stage from the library and see if it is the proper size.
If you have a ton of images, it's likely that neither of the two things above is an attractive solution anyways.

Editing flash document

I am learning flash 8 by my self and I am stucked.
I bought flash template that come with psd and flash format
files. I can update only index file and can not get to the reste of
the pages. why the template come with the psd file (which I can
edit very well in photoshop but not in flash)
How do I get to the other pages when I open the document in
flash?

Probably a good question for the company that provides the
template for how it works and why the various files are provided.
As far as Flash is concerned, using external loaded JPEG, GIF
and PNG files from the Flash movie is fully supported in Flash 8
and JPEG for most versions back. Embedded images can be loaded from
a wider variety of formats including PSD but not necessarily the
current version.
So the question needs to be more focused as to what you need
to do with the psds. Load them dynamically at run time. If so they
need to be converted to jpeg or gif or png. In this case you want
to learn about the Flash MovieClip.loadMovie method.
Or are they embedded, then import to the Flash movie and
learn Flash to use them.
Finally the index file you are probably talking about is an
HTML file. To change the template you need the FLA file (Flash
Document File) and Flash IDE to make changes. A Flash template
usually implies you are getting the FLA file however it is possible
to deliver only the Swf (Flash Movie) and have you provide the
inputs from an external file like a XML file to feed it and
configure it.

Since swf files cannot be attached to published flash documents for iPad, what format can be attached?

I have a multi-page animated book for iPad developed in Flash 6. Because of its length and to run more smoothly on an iPad, I’ve divided the pages into fifty separate documents –the last frame of each each page would load the next page, a back button would load the previous page. My question is: since an swf file or anything containing actionscript 3 coding cannot be imported or attached to a published flash document, does Adobe have a solution to this problem?

The complexity with this idea is the software has to run from a Mac computer on your network.. so you need a Mac turned on, probably most of the day.
It isn't possible to partition the TC although you can create a image area.
The software would have to copy the material, that means all files to be copied, go from USB drive, back to the Mac, then back to the TC, and written to the drive. In other words you have just added Network congestion, although a proper incremental backup type software will not actually use a lot of capacity.
Finally it will be slow.. network drives are slower than internal drives. Well USB connected drive is much slower than the same drive connected directly to the computer.. and if the drive is connected directly to a computer it can be shared with the network.

Read carefully the speed of the USB drive plugged into the TC.

Can't get simple Flash document to post to web site.

I have created a simple page in Flash CS4 for my class and for some reason when I go to publish the page online all I get is an empty page colored blue (background) but neither the title or any of the graphics or images on the page show up, it is kjust a blank blue page on the web browser. I really need an explanation for this so that I do not fail the project. Please help!!
This is the link to the page I am getting and if you can please view the source code and tell me what in the world is wrong:
http://zlloyd1.com/MachoaNorfolkHistory.html I know it is something to do with the paths to the image files but they are all present in my online images folder and I do not know how to modify the HTML file created when you publish a Flash document. I do have some experience with HTML coding but this is not something I recognize. I will await your reply!!
Lost,

Dear Adobe Support,
I am not entirely sure how to add attachments to a forum post. Could you please explain this to me and I will be more than happy to attach the swf file?? I will await your reply and thanks again!!

HELP! JOB ON THE LINE- Need to import fields from one document to another document

In a nutshell I have a set of documents and we now have a new structure for those documents. Either I have to cut and paste all the data from one to another or figure out how to import fields to another document.
I have two documents. Both are different but require the same information. Basically I need to have one file with fields import specified fields from another document. Ex., Name on document 1, I need the file to know to get the Name field on document 2 and import it into the specified field on document 1. I will have multiple fields that need to do this importing. I REALLY NEED TO FIGURE THIS OUT B/C I HAVE A TON OF DOCUMENTS THAT NEED TO BE COMPLETED.

If you are talking about the field structure, not the content that Bernd commented on, make a copy of the document with the fields. Open the file and use replace pages to replace the pages with the new document layout. After you have replaced the pages, you will have to select the field tools and move the fields to the proper location. If the form was made in Designer, I am not sure of the process. There is likely a similar process in Designer, but I don't use Designer and can't comment. You may have to go to the Designer forum in such a case, unless other Acrobat users here can help.

How do I link a button to another flash document?

I am using action script 3 to make my website and all my files and done for now and complete however I have no idea how to make the buttons I created in flash link to another flash document.

Is each page a different html file? If so, then you would use code like...
function linkFunction(evt:MouseEvent):void {
    var url:String = "awebpage.html";
    var req:URLRequest = new URLRequest(url);
    navigateToURL(req, "_self");
btnName.addEventListener(Event.MouseEvent, linkFunction);
where btnName is replaced by whatever instance name you assign to the button. A condensed version of the function is...
function linkFunction(evt:MouseEvent):void {
    navigateToURL(new URLRequest("awebpage.html"), "_self");
If it is not linking to different html web pages, then you need to provide a clearer description of what your mean.

How do i fix this, there are no images in the document
thanks

We are running FM version 7.2b144 on MS Win xp Pro (32 bit), and I did not notice this until service pack 3 was installed. I believe I have found a work around to the situation and another contributing cause. If graphic files are placed directly in an anchored frame instead of importing by reference, the file somehow becomes misplaced. If you right click the graphic and open the Object Properties dialog box, and see the phrase "no referenced file" below Main Editor: Referenced File: in the lower left hand corner, this has happened. I found if I removed all graphics files without references and imported them by reference, the source file may then be properly saved. I am also using a program called CCleaner, which removes cookies, temp files, browsing history and the like from a system. If the program settings are chosen too aggressively, and the application runs when FM has a file open, this same error will occur, even if all files are referenced properly. I don't know if SP3 has some similar application which is now running in the background and causing this.
To summarize, if you want to retain SP3, I have eliminated this error by confirming the links to referenced graphics files and avoiding using 3rd party "cleaners" while FM is open.

Multiple Forms in a Flash Document and Posting Using ASP

Hello everyone!
I have some what of a dilemma on my hands. I am creating
multiple forms in one document using Flash and need them to post
using ASP script. I have been researching this for the last six
days, and I have had NO luck. I have noticed that all the
information that I have found is for one form, not more than one.
What I have so far is the Flash document, with 4 forms. The
basic idea is that a user chooses from a drop down menu (the
combobox) a location, and depending on the location chosen, it
takes the user to another frame in the flash document. The forms
(all their own movie clip) contains a name field, a department
field, and either a manager name a userID field or an employee
number as well as the basic buttons for submitting the form or
resetting the form.
So far what I have working is the drop down menu (combobox)
taking me to the proper frame and it shows the appropriate form.
The reset button clearing the form (deleting any information that I
have imputed into the input fields), but I have absolutely NO idea
how to get the submit button to work (I did manage to get it to
send me a message if there was nothing in one of the input fields),
and NO idea how to get the information to the ASP file.
Where there are 4 forms do each of them have to have their
own ASP file attached to them, or can I use one?
If anyone knows a site that deals with multiple forms in one
SWF and posts using ASP that would be greatly appreciated, or if
you know some actionscript that could be helpful.
Thank you all in advance.

That would be part of my problem, I really don't know ASP,
and I am flying by the seat of my pants.
The current script I have for the ASP file is:
<% @Language = "VBScript" %>
<%
Option explicit
Dim strfullName
Dim strdeptName
Dim strmanagerName
Dim strobjeemail
Dim strlocation
strfullName.Request.Form("fullName_txt")
strdeptName.Request.Form("deptName_txt")
strmanagerName.Request.Form("managerName_txt")
strlocation.Request.Form("locationName")
Set strobjemail = CreateObject("CDO.Message")
strobjemail.From = "[email protected]"
strobjemail.To = "[email protected]"
strobjemail.Subject = "Program from " + strlocation
strobjemail.Body = "This user has completed this progrmam
from " + strlocation & Chr(13) & Chr(10) & "Name: " +
strfullName & Chr(13) & Chr(10) & "Department: " +
strdeptName & Chr(13) & Chr(10) & + "Manager: " +
strmanagerName
strobjemail.Send
Set strobjemail=nothing
%>
The AS code that I have so far is:
function formValidationChecks(){
if (fullName_txt.length==0){
status_txt.text = "Please enter your Name";
else if (deptName_txt.length==0){
status_txt.text = "Please enter your Department";
else if (managerName_txt.length==0){
status_txt.text = "Please enter your Manager";
else {
status_txt.text = "Thank You!";
variables.fullName_txt = fullName_txt.text;
variables.deptName_txt = deptName_txt.text;
variables.managerName_txt = managerName_txt.text;
varLoader.load(varSend);
trace("-----");
trace("Name: "+fullName_txt.text);
trace("Department: "+deptName_txt.text);
trace("Manager: "+managerName_txt.text);
trace("Form validated");
submit_btn.onRelease = function(){
status_txt.text = "";
if(formValidationChecks()){
var lv = new LoadVars();
lv.fullName_txt = form.fullName_txt.text;
lv.deptName_txt = form.deptName_txt.text;
lv.managerName_txt = form.managerName_txt.text;
lv.sendAndLoad("mail.asp", lv, "POST");
reset_btn.onRelease = function()
fullName_txt.text = "";
deptName_txt.text = "";
managerName_txt.text = "";
So far my reset button clears everything, and the submit
button is tracing the content in the form fields, but it's not even
grabbing the asp page.
Any suggestions? Even pages that have tutorials that are in
the form of a video.
Thanks

A "security issue" for property list in library of flash document

Please take a look at this screen-shot I have taken from the library in a flash document.
see in the link below, you have to copy and paste it in your browser.
http://askervgs.wikispaces.com/file/view/library.jpg/505738374/library.jpg
As you see the modified dates for all these components are 28 April-2014 and for last component it is 29 April-2014.
What is strange is that the flash document itself is claimed to be created in a local exam: date on 30.April 2014 !!
How is it possible the components in the library are modified two days before the document itself is created?
Dose it mean that the student has had access to these components two days before the actual exam date????
*** All other students flash documents look normal and all dates for anything they have created i
their flash document library are actual exam date: i.e. 30.April 2014 between 08.00 - 14:00.
Please help to clarify this issue?
Thanks for any help!

Thank you for your answer!
They use school laptops, and I will later check the date/time on this person's computer, but something which contradicts the "wrong date" case is that I have received three more files(one open office writer text file) from the same student, all created and modified on 30. April 2014, which was the actual exam date.
So until know it seems that this student has had access to the exam file and prepared the main fla file 2 days prior to the exam date.
This is quite possible because we use previously given samples in local exams, (digitally available for "some nerds").
But technical question is:
Do the dates listed in flash-library for created components actual dates which match users computer dates/times?

In Pages 09 we can do Mail Merge and Import Styles from a document. Can someone please explain how we can do this with the new version of Pages 5.1. Even Apple solutions are only valid for Pages Version 09. What a DOWN GRADE!

In Pages 09 we can do Mail Merge and Import Styles from a document. Can someone please explain how we can do this with the new version of Pages 5.1. Even Apple solutions are only valid for Pages Version 09. What a DOWN GRADE! Thank god Pages 09 is still there.

…and the other 98 missing features.
Just use Pages '09, which should be in your Applications/iWork folder.
Rate/review Pages 5 in the App Store.
