Need help with editing flash

Hello everyone, I'm really new to flash and I have some problems with editing my flash file. Currently, I have a small flash application in a folder, containing various kinds of files such as AS, SWF, FLA, HTML. What I want to do is to change the text inside one of the buttons in the application. After doing some reasearching, I realized that I should probably make some changes to the FLA file(Quiz.fla for example) since Quiz.fla is the only FLA file in the folder. Therefore, I opened it using Adobe Flash CS5.5, what what I found out is that the Quiz.fla file is really different from other FLA files. It only shows a plain background when I open it, without showing the actual interface of the flash application. It does contain all the buttons and contants under the Library section on the right side of Adobe Flash . When I try to change the text inside the button then save-publish, the newly published SWF file would just be a static picture of the button I've changed and everything else is gone. Any help is greatly appreciated!

ya, that's why I'm confused. I've actually tried editing some sample flash FLA files and all I need to do is to edit them in the Library and it would work out. But this one seems to have some weird problems. I could actually send the application folder to you if you have some time to take a look at it. Thank you very much again for the help!

Need Help with a Flash Web Project

Hello, everyone. I am trying to use Flash to make a two-step
system. I want the flash document to, first, allow a person to
upload multiple image files and then, second, for the flash
document be able to create a slideshow with the uploaded images and
fade in and out from each image until the slideshow is over. I want
it to be where the flash document creates its own slideshow with
the images that are uploaded in the first step that I mentioned. I
want it to do it completely on its own so I need to know how to
give it the proper AI so that it can do this task.
So, are there any tips that anyone has on how to do this? Can
anyone tell me exactly how to do this? I really need help with this
for my new website project. Thanks in advance, everyone!

The problem with the text not appearing at all has to do with you setting the alpha of the movieclip to 0%. Not within the movieclip, but the movieclip itself. The same for the xray graphic, except you have that as a graphic symbol rather than a movieclip. To have that play while inhabiting one frame you'll need to change it to a movieclip symbol.
To get the text to play after the blinds (just a minor critique, I'd speed up the blinds), you will want to add some code in the frame where you added the stop in the blinds animation. You will also need to assign instance names for the text movieclips in the properties panel, as well as place a stop(); in their first frames (inside).
Let's say you name them upperText and lowerText. Then the code you'd add at the end of the blinds animation (in the stop frame) would be...
_parent.upperText.play();
_parent.lowerText.play();
The "_parent" portion of that is used to target the timeline that is containing the item making the command, basically meaning it's the guy inside the blinds telling the guy outside the blinds to do something.
You'll probably want to add stops to the ends of the text animations as well.
If you want to have the first text trigger the second text, then you'd take that second line above and place it in the last frame of the first text animation instead of the blinds animation.
Note, on occasion, undeterminably, that code above doesn't work for some odd reason... the animation plays to the next frame and stops... so if you run into that, just put a play(); in the second frame to help push it along.
PS GotoandPlay would actually be gotoAndPlay, and for the code above you could substitute play(); with gotoAndPlay(2);

I need help with Adobe Flash Player, PLEASE!

I have been on multiple site trying to play games or watch videos (e.g. YouTube) and keep getting an error message saying I have to install Adobe Flash Player in order to play/view. I have done this multiple times and currently have Flash Player 11 ActiveX and Flash Player 11 Plugin. What more do I need to do because it still won't let me watch the video or play the games!
PLEASE HELP ME!
Additional info: I just wound up downloading Google Chrome (but don't like it) and don't have the same problem. So, it's only happening when I am trying to do all this on Internet Explorer 9.

Need help with Installing Flash 9

First off, let me apologize if this is in the wrong forum, I couldn't really find a forum for my specific need.
I was running Flash 8 just fine, but then a video requested that I update to Flash 9, because that's the only way the video would play.
So I tried installing the PPC version, and right at the last file it needs to finish installing a window pops up saying "ERROR CREATING FILE, 1008:5,-5000 Access denied error."
Now all flash files won't work on my browser.

Did you enable "root user" according to "Mac Help" or did you set up a new user in the system preferences? If you did it according to Mac Help, then Flash should have been installed correctly. Did you try the other option first? That option, if it worked, would have installed Flash into the current user. How many different users do you have?
Post back if you still need help, maybe someone else will pick up on this that is better than I am about such problems.
Sorry that I haven't been much help.

Need help with adobe flash crashing my computer.

i use firefox is this a problem with adobe flash?

You might want to give some specifics. Other then my computer crashes with Adobe....Not to be a S.A but there are a lot of different Adobe programs and computers. You mention FF so Windows would be my guess, or you could be running Linux. Do you see the variables here? What kind of computer? Not a Desktop or Laptop or Dell or HP. Specs like GPU, CPU, Memory. Program running, what you were doing, etc. The more detailed you are the more a user can hop in and try and help you.

Hi eg, If you have Windows 7 the new one, then you have IE8 since it comes with it. We are only working on this one computer, right?
First of all you must be the Administrator in order to Install Flash Player, are you? You need to use that account.
Download this Flash Player Uninstaller to your Desktop:
http://kb2.adobe.com/cps/141/tn_14157.html
Download this Flash Player Installer for Internet Explorer to your Desktop:
http://fpdownload.macromedia.com/get/flashplayer/current/install_flash_player_ax.exe
Close all browsers, you only want to be looking at your Desktop. Check your system tray(the area by the clock) and disable any applications like messenger, etc. You don't want any applications there that use Flash.
Run the Uninstaller and when it is finished, restart your computer. Wait until it is completely restarted, then restart it again. When it is completely restarted, then Run the Installer. When that is finished, restart Once.
Then go to this site to test :http://www.adobe.com/software/flash/about/

I need help with new flash player constantly crashing

Ever since updating the flash player it is constantly crashing. I have updated firefox also which constantly crashes. Firefox is pointing the finger at the flash player..... I need someone who will work with me step by step as i am not a computer tech. The two websites i visit that the flash player crashes on is www.myspace.com while playing mobsters and mafia wars, and www.smallworlds.com which is a 3d interactive " chat room ". I have tried removing the flash player and going with an older version, but it continues to kick me to the updated version...Please help!

Hi, thanks for your Flash file info. You have the SWFlash.ocx that is old. Right click on that one and Remove/Delete it.
Your SWF plug-in is correct as well as the remainder of your Flash files. The SWFlash.ocx that needs removed is conflicting.
The Windows Firewall should be used. Now I see that you have not updated to the Windows XP Service Pack 3, which is the latest. I would recommend that you do that. Many improvements and security issues are included in that. You can go to the Microsoft site for that.
After you do that, Microsoft has the Microsoft Security Essentials which is a free program and has the Anti-Virus and Anti-Spyware features. It does not include a Firewall nor are there any browser add ons that would conflict with your browser, other add ons or Flash Player.
I'm not sure of the system requirements for the MSE, but check. You may need the updated Service Pack first. Before you Install the MSE tho, make sure no other anti-virus is still Installed. The one you mentioned needs Uninstalled and you need to check if they have an Uninstaller and do that first.
Whether you do any of what I suggested or not, you need to Remove that SWFlash.ocx. I would reboot(restart) your computer afterwards.
P.S. Firefox has updated to 3.6.8 and you can do that anytime.
Thanks,
eidnolb

Need help with actionscript (flash professional)

Ok so its been a while since I've used flash and i need a
little bit of help. I've searched through the help books and tried
to figure it out on my own but im stuck.
I'm making a website for my music page using flash
professional on Mac OSX.
I'm trying to make a menu along the left side that when you
press the "more" button at the bottom of multiple other buttons it
will make the set of links (which i have as buttons) switch out
with another set of links. (also buttons)
I cant get this more button to do it though!
here is a link to my .fla file
http://rapidshare.com/files/196874495/website.fla.html
Help would be GREATLY appreciated.
Thanks.

_parent tells the guy that's holding the movieclip (its
parent) to do something.
The reason I say something seems corrupted with the file is
because I took your button out of the movieclip and used it with
the code you had for the movieclip, which should have worked as you
had it on(release){ gotoAndPlay(2)} because for whatever reason,
buttons don't consider the guy holding them as their parent...
bitter adopted orphans I reckon.
but it didn't work, and I gave up trying to figure out why.
Sometimes files just need to find a new home in another
file.

I need help with a flash nav and switching pages!!!

is there anyway to point the browser to play a swf file from
a specific point (labeled frame) in the movie after switching
(html) pages?
basically it's a nav bar that needs to be played from the end
of the movie after the first opening (html)page.
I know i can do this with frames, but i would love to avoid
that if possible. and the only other option i know would be to have
2 swf files. there has to be a "on(load) /gotoandplay() or some
combination to make this work, it seems to be too close to not be
possible.
thanks for all the help.

SHouldn't be too involved. Just set a variable with JS (or
whatever
language you can use, I used JS simply b/c you stated HTML
pages, not PHP or
ASP), then in your flash movie, have your first frame do a
basic if/then or
do a switch (if it's available in AS).
if ($var==1){
gotoAndPlay (1,1);
elseif ($var--2){
gotoAndPlay(1,2);
etc.
Alternately, you could set a session variable, but you would
have to have
dynamic pages to do that.

Need help with a flash template

I'm an action script novice, so I downloaded a cool Flash template to beef up a part of a project I'm working on.
That template rotates thumbnails of web sites in a 3D space.
When user clicks on them they launch a new web page.
What I did:
I substituted the web thumbnails with characters and each character has an swf (info on each character) that i would like to load when user clicks on that character. Now, this thumbnail swf is loaded into a holder within a main movie when user clicks on "The Sensetionals" of the main buttons (in that main movie).
What I want to do:
1. When user clicks on each charater, I would like that character's swf to load into the same holder as the thumbnail swf.
Then I would have a close button that will unloadmovie that character swf and load back the thumbnail swf.
2. In the thumbnail swf, i would like to see the names of each character when user rolls over them. It's in the original code now, and shows up when I test the thumbnail swf on its own, but it's not showing up when it plays inside holder of the main movie. AND it's under the shadow/reflections, not readable. So, I would like to see it show up AND on top of the reflections.
Here's the link to view my version.
NOTE: ENTER ENGLISH ONLY
http://www.sensetionals.com/SenseTest/
I hope that's clear and not asking too much, but I'm really stuck and desperate here.
Any help would be greatly appreciated!
Here's the current code inside the thumbnail source file:
stop();
// total is length of label_list OR link_list
// OR total frames inside "flashmo thumbnails"
var total:Number = 13;
// length of label_list array and length of link_list array must be equal
// to length of frames inside "flashmo thumbnails" movieclip
var label_list:Array = new Array( "Dr Anatomy", "Feelix", "Eyeris", "T Buds", "Earl", "Nosey", "Dr Von Micron", "Karlos", "Tiny", "Funguy", "Protozoom", "Virusam", "Bacterio");
var link_list:Array = new Array("AnaTomyMov.swf", "FeelixMov.swf", "EyerisMov.swf", "BudMov.swf", "EarlMov.swf", "NosieMov.swf", "VonMicronMov.swf", "KarlosMov.swf", "TinyMov.swf", "FunguyMov.swf", "ProtozoomMov.swf", "VirusamMov.swf", "BacterioMov.swf");
var radiusX:Number = 330;
var radiusY:Number = 90;
var centerX:Number = 400;
var centerY:Number = 140;
var speed:Number = 0.005;
tn_group_mc._visible = false;
info.text = ""; fm_label.text = "";
for (var i = 0; i<total; i++)
var t = tn_group_mc.duplicateMovieClip("tn"+i, i);
t.tn_mc.gotoAndStop(i+1); t.tn_shadow_mc.gotoAndStop(i+1);
t.fm_label = label_list[i];
t.fm_url = link_list[i];
t.angle = i * ((Math.PI*2)/total);
t.onEnterFrame = mover;
t.fm_button.onRollOver = function()
fm_label.text = " " + this._parent.fm_label;
t.fm_button.onRollOut = function()
info.text = ""; fm_label.text = "";
t.fm_button.onRelease = function()
getURL(this._parent.fm_url);
function mover()
this._x = Math.cos(this.angle) * radiusX + centerX;
this._y = Math.sin(this.angle) * radiusY + centerY;
var s = this._y /(centerY+radiusY);
this._xscale = this._yscale = s*100;
this.angle += this._parent.speed;
this.swapDepths(Math.round(this._xscale) + 100);
this.onMouseMove = function()
speed = (this._xmouse-centerX) * 0.0001;

Need help with editing AVCHD files in Final Cut Express 4

The AVCHD files were recorded on a Canon HG10 before I bought a Mac Pro OS X 15.1.
I transfered them to a file on my desktop, like the instructions tell me to do, but when I get to the part of "mount the media files in the log and transfer", I get stuck.
The file is named AVCHD and when I try to upload it into the Log and Transfer window through the little plus sign on the left hand top corner, I get the following message:
"AVCHD" contains unsupported media or has an invalid directory structure. Please choose a folder whose directory structure matches supported media."
It does not allow me to import the files individually. I tried dragging the files to where it says "Drag media here" and nothing happens. If I try to drag the file to the area in the top left corner of log and transfer, I get the same message as above.
What do I need to do?

I have a different camcorder, but my experience might be of help to you.
I have a Sony HDR-UX1 AVCHD camcorder that records to 8cm DVDs.
I tried using Apple Final Cut Express 4's FILE > LOG AND TRANSFER command to capture directly from the 8cm DVD, which resided in an external Sony DVD drive... and I was not successful.
Then, I remembered my experience on Windows XP where I used Corel's Ulead VideoStudio 11 Plus.
With Ulead VideoStudio 11 Plus, I found I had to drag the contents of removable media discs and disks to my Windows desktop, which then allowed me to use the software video capture tools successfully.
So I tried the same thing with Apple Final Cut Express 4.
I dragged the BDMV FOLDER on my 8cm AVCHD disc to my Mac's desktop.
I then used the FILE > LOG AND TRANSFER command and simply browsed to the folder on the desktop and -- Voila! -- the contents of the folder appeared as video thumbnails in the LOG AND TRANSFER WINDOW and everything worked.
Hope this helps,
Private Idaho

Need help with Adobe Flash Player

Youtube and several other websites can still identify that my flash player is up to date. Although, many websites including CNN, Aplia, and Southparkstudios do not recognize my flash player. I tried trouble shooting, reseting my axtiveX filter, updating my computers graphic card, ad enabling my flash player. I am currently using a windows 8 computer, but my flahs player does not work in the metro IE, desktop IE, chrome, or firefox. I recently installed Norton Antivirus, and I question if there is any possibility that it could of corrupted my flash player...but troubleshootig with Norton Antivirus was not successful either. So, I guess my question is how do I get my Flash Player to work sufficiently to my needs? I would really appreciate some advice on how to get my flash player to work on all websites.
Thank you for your time
- Jim

Accrding to your post, you're dealing with three separate Flash Plugins.
1. ActiveX - for IE, (embedded by Microsoft - can't be updated or repaired from any file here - functions independently of the other two plugins)
2. Flash Player standard plugin - for Firefox (functions independently of the other two plugins)
3. "PepperFlash" - for Chrome (embedded in the browser by Google - like ActiveX, it can't be updated or repaired from any file here. Like The others, it functions independently of the other two)
Usually when something is causing the exact same problem with all three different plugins (two of which have been modified by second parties)... it's outside of the browsers.
First, I'd recommend creating a new (admin) account and try installing/running the Flash Player under that account. If it works, then it's an issue with your account. If not, it's either in the OS or another app, like your Norton.
