Major Questions about Flash Paper 2.0

Question

Ok, I've been fiddling around with flash paper 2 over the
last few days. Like it a lot for my non-technical users..however, I
have a few questions. Hopefully someone can answer soon. Ok, I have
a main swf and in there I'm using a script I found (person who
wrote it, last name: Whitehouse) on the Net which allows me to load
a flash paper file from within that main swf along with some
control on some interface features. Here it is:
onClipEvent (load) {
// function: loadFlashPaper
// Parameters:
// path_s: path of SWF to load
// dest_mc: Movie clip to hold the imported SWF
// width_i: New size of the dest movie clip
// height_i: New size of the dest movie clip
// loaded_o: (optional) Object to be notified that loading is
complete
function loadFlashPaper(path_s, dest_mc, width_i, height_i,
loaded_o) {
var intervalID = 0;
var loadFunc = function(){
dest_mc._visible = false;
var fp = dest_mc.getIFlashPaper();
if (!fp) {
return;
} else if (fp.setSize(width_i, height_i) == false) {
return;
} else {
clearInterval(intervalID);
dest_mc._visible = true; // Now show the document
loaded_o.onLoaded(fp);
intervalID = setInterval(loadFunc, 100);
dest_mc.loadMovie(path_s);
// Function called once the FlashPaper SWF is embedded:
function onLoaded(fp) {
// We can now call the FlashPaper API functions.
// Remove the standard user interface features:
fp.showUIElement("PrevNext", false);
fp.showUIElement("Print", false);
fp.showUIElement("Find", false);
fp.showUIElement("Tool", false);
fp.showUIElement("Pop", false);
fp.showUIElement("Zoom", false);
fp.showUIElement("Page", false);
fp.showUIElement("Overflow", false);
fp.showUIElement("useHandCursor", false);
fp.enableScrolling(true);
// Some additional API features (here commented out):
// Go to page:
// fp.setCurrentPage(3);
// Change the magnification to 50%:
// fp.setCurrentZoom(50);
// Now we're ready to start
// Create the destination movie clip to hold the SWF:
var theDocMC_mc = _root.labserviceworkclip;
// Position it on the stage:
theDocMC_mc._x = 15.4;
theDocMC_mc._y = 211.8;
//theDocMC_mc.useHandCursor = false;
// Load the FlashPaper SWF into the clip,
// size it, and trigger the onLoaded() function:
loadFlashPaper("labservicework.swf", theDocMC_mc, 730, 510,
this);
//_root.miningprojectspopup.hidecontainer.loadMovie("19a.swf");
Now, is it possible to:
1.) Remove the hand curser?
2.) Remove the Flash Paper splash that appears before the swf
is loaded? Maybe replace it with loader bar?
3.) Control color of scrollbar (like you can on flash
components)
4.) The main swf is set to transparency, but if make
background color in Word doc a color, that color does not show up.
Why?
4.) In Word, I want to create multiple pages that appear
seamless when scrolling down in the swf file. however, can't to get
that to work. Has anyone tried this? I'm open to any option such as
using tables inside my Word docs (am trying that now but still not
working).
5.) I created an 8 page document in Word 2003 and saved it as
swf BUT am getting this "Printer Failed.." response. If I do pages
smaller in number, works fine. What's going on with that. I also
have installed CutePDF installed..could that be screwing it up?
6.) I want to include anchors inside the swf file so that at
the click of a button, I can automatically move the scroll up or
down. Any idea how to do that?
7.) I want to inlude links inside the swf file to navigate to
different frames inside main swf. Is that possible?
8.) When creating hyperlinks in Word to swf file, (yes, I
chose correct target frame), the page doesn't appear to open into a
new window. What's up with that?

Answer 1

First off I would recommend buying the non academic full version for $20 more because its worth it. So when Aperture 2.5 or 3 comes out, you do not have to pay the full price for it.
As for your library, make a backup if you want, but all you need to do after installing a licensed version of Aperture 2 is go to your previous library and then select "open with..." then chose Aperture 2 (default)
Once you do that you will receive a message stating that "once your library has been updated, it will not open in previous versions of Aperture, do you wish to continue?"
After you do that your library will be fully imported into Aperture 2 exactly as it was in the previous versions of the program.
Hope that helps.
