New at Flash
Hey All,
I am new with flash and i am creating a site and i have
created a button which i want to modify.
So i basically copied it and now when i make chnages to one
button, it effects the other ones also.
Can someone help me, its prob easy but i am blind.
I have done a search also and could not find anything, so
sorry if its already been posted somewhere.
Thanks in advance :)
This is because you have many *instances* of the same symbol.
The reason for
this is that if you need the same thing on stage many times,
it is more
efficient in terms of filesize of your finished SWF to use
the same symbol.
What you need to do is:
Select the button you want to change.
In your 'Properties' panel, click the 'Swap' button.
At the bottom of the panel that pops up is a button that
looks like 2
squared with an arrow - click this.
Give your duplicate symbol a new name.
Click OK.
Edit the new symbol.
Repeat until done!

About in tears from new adobe flash player 10.3 not working
After installing the new Adobe Flash 10.2.153.1 on my Windows7 64 bit computer, it can not be found when using my IE8 (does not show 32 or 64 bit only 256-bit).
I have uninstalled using your reference on "please read: when asking Flash Player questions" and then reinstalled. It is on the programs list as installed but when I go to a site that needs me to use Adobe Flash it says I need it install it. Whn I go to the adobe web site to verify that I have installed Adobe Flash it only has a box with a small red x in the corner.
I have updated my devices drivers. I do not completely understand what a "kill-bit" is; however, I have gone into my registry and there is no registry keys that have {d27....etc}. There are many other numbers and most have a compatibilty flag of 0x00000400. So I must not have a "kill-bit" for Flash Player set. Not sure what that means.
Can you help me? And have I given you enough info?
Thanks for any help you can give me.FYI - have uninstalled adobe flash player since we last replied should I try to install again?
I have checked this too and
*Shockwave Flash Object installed and Enabled. version 11.5.7.
* Yes at medium now (was at med high)
* have mcafee but just installed tonight your recommended microsoft security essentals (did a quick scan tonight)
* C:\Windows\SysWOW64\Macromed\Flash - FlashInstall (txt file) and Install (txt file)
* No error messages - was told it was installed successfully
thanks! -
Quicktime and new Adobe flash don't work!!
Ever since I have ? downloaded new iTunes/Quicktime updates I cannot get Quicktime to play any movie trailers. Also, when I go to any sites which need a Flash player, I am unable play any flash related videos. To add further frustration, I am unable to download the new Adobe flash player. It "downloads," but goes nowhere on my computer and is nonfunctional!! I feel like because I have an "old" Mac with Panther (which otherwise works great!), I am slowly being phased out of all the new downloads as they often either don't work or screw up my system. Help!!
Hi again Stephen,
That's great! I'm glad that that got you back on the track.
I personally Repair Permissions about once a week or so (though the need to is highly debated here in Discussions).
You might be interested in having a look at About Disk Utility's Repair Disk Permissions feature.
Always Repair Permissions from Disk Utility on you HD before and after any Software Update/Upgrade for trouble free downloads.
Glad I was able to help and thank-you for the courtesy of extending the Solved star!
good luck,

Whats new with Flash Player 9.0
Hi all ..
i want to know whats new with flash player 9.0. what are the
new features etc..
thanks in advance> He is using stopAllSounds to stop sounds that are in
seperate swfs on an html page. I tested it, and it does not work.
In my

> I put 3 swfs on an html page (not loaded into each
other). On the third swf I have the stopAllSounds command. It stops
only it's
> own sound in the third swf but has no effect on one.swf
and two.swf's sound.
> The thing is I don't know if stopAllSounds ever worked
across separated swfs before in players before version 9.
> tralfaz
I have confirmed his complaint. stopAllSounds works correctly
across multiple swfs on an html page using Flash player 8 but not
with Flash Player 9.
Incidentally, there is another big "improvement" (they say)
that prevents you from uninstalling the Flash 9 player without
running
their uninstaller exe. Unfortunately, their uninstaller
uninstalls all flash player versions (not just version 9) from ALL
browsers
so if just want to remove player 9 from IE you are forced to
also uninstall it from FireFox etc as well. Great, huh?

You can't change size dynamically as it is defined by the
object embed tags.
You could use WMODE transparency which could help you fake it
tho not always best
solution to go with WMODE. It's a very buggy parameter.
WMODE will remove the background color so the flash movie
appear over the html and you
can see the HTML content trough the movie.
You could define some solid shape for the background on
bottom layer to make it look
like SWF background, than change it with the other loaded
movie making it appear as it
changed size while the over all flash size stats the same. As
said above - faking it.

845 PE-Max "NEW" Bios Flash "does it really fix the temp readings?"
So MSI has been having problems with there Temp readings on there boards. So I was surprised to see that they just released a bios update to correct this issue. Of course I couldn't wait to download and flash the bios and see what effect it had. Everything went well, I popped into windows and (I'm testing Intel's stock HSF currently) and my temps dropped drastically????? Now this can't be correct either...
Motherboard: 32c
CPU: 29c
Case 23c
Now remember this is with the retail P4 2.53 HSF. With the new bios flash it shows a cooler temp than my Spark 7. And the Intel is only running at 2400RPM. Before the bios flash with the Intel HSF:
Motherboard: 33c
CPU: 40c
Case 23c
Well ran another test last night. Ran a CPU Burn-In test for 30 Minutes and the temp only hit 45c during the test. Obviously the new BIOS is incorrect. I find it impossible that the retail HSF on my P4 2.53GHz can keep it below 50c under max load. My Tt Spark 7 with Artic Silver II only kept it at 37c idle. I'm reading 28c Idle now using the retail HSF.
MSI - ??????????????????????????
Hi all. I am very very new to Flash, been thinking about usig
it for all of a day! I have to come up with a website and the
general idea is that a lot of 3D is to be used. Although I have
been heavily involved in 3D for 14 years now, web development apart
from HTML is a little new to me. I have been told that the SWF
output from Maya is not actually truly suitable for a website due
to file sizes. Is this true? Would anybody be able to suggest an
alternative or a way to shrink file sizes if needed? Maya is what I
know, 2D animation isn't. Any help on this would be truly
appreciated.
Regards, A.
check out Swift 3D, it's probably one of the best
solutions
I cannot download the new adobe flash player on my mac OSX 10.5
I have always been able to watch videos on line. Now on msnbc it says I have to download the new Adobe Flash player in order to watch the videos. When I try to download it won't do it.
Call Apple and file a formal complaint, it's Apple that is not supplying security or patches to 10.5 users and expects everyone to be computer guru's.
16.5% of Mac users are on 10.5 and Apple just denies security and stability updates to force you to upgrade your OS or your hardware prematurely.
There is a massive botnet of over 600,000 Mac's and the prime location is on 10.5 Intel Mac's which they refuse to fix.
Appe's "solution" is for you to upgrade your operating system to 10.6 or even 10.7 (this will make your machine slow and won't run a lot of your software, another "problem")
http://roaringapps.com/apps:table
IMO 10.6 would be best for you, the least trouble, but you bought a Mac for it to "just work" as your not "into" computers, your just a regular user like most Apple's customers.
So call Apple and complain, then buy the 10.6.3 retail disk and stick it into your machine and upgrade and cross your fingers and update to 10.6.8.
Backup your persona data off the machine first to a storage drive and disconnect.
Most commonly used backup methods explained
Once your on 10.6.3 use software update to get to 10.6.8, then you can install Flash.

Hello,
I am new to Flash development and I've created a simple flash
website with links/buttons on the left and on the right a content
box.
My question is how to make transitions or effects after you
click one of the links on the left, to make the content part load
up into a special effect, something like random tiles flipping over
displaying the new content corresponding to the button on the left
that you click. Are there any tutorials that would be helpful? I'm
also trying to create a special effect that loads the entire flash
in a cool way, not having the flash just appear simply but appear
with a special effect.
Any help would be appreciated,
Alan
You can insert ananimation in a movieclip with an alpha
transition. Load it on a higher level as the button is clicked on a
lower level.
There are many examples, there are about as many ways to do
it also.
Flash Professional CS6 release brings several exciting new features, critical bug fixes, and some important enhancements. For more information, see What's new in Flash CS6.
Me parece algo inverosimil ver a una persona diseñando en un portatil y moviendo vectores u objetos con trackpad, si pudiesemos modificar eso quedaría más creible y profesional. De todas formas el video es bastante ilustrativo.
New to FLASH.... I am wanting to learn the how to say, fly a plane over page
Hi
I am completely new to FLASH, i have managed to create a
basic step by step animation, much like i have done with an
animation tool, painshop pro animation programe.
But it must be easier than this, I have been told to look at
the manual, but i do not even know what i am looking for.
How do i get an image of lets say a plane to fly across the
page or in the window of the flash movie with a few clouds in the
background say.
what i am hoping to next have is for the plane to have a
banner flying behind it with a name on it.
can someone please help me out here i am going crazy with
frustration it can not be that hard i am sure i just need help in
creating the first and i can hopefully work out how to add the
banner in time.
just like PHP i worked it out in the end, i wish to learn all
i can about flash.
or are there any other online tutorials that show a step by
step instruction on how to do basic things, i have looked at the
flash help files that came with the software but have no idea what
they are getting at, and again i do not know what to look for
either,
cheers in advance for your help.
are you using the timeline and motion tweens? for a plane to
fly across the screen, you would need a movieclip symbol of the
plane. create a layer in the timeline that corresponds to this
symbol and place it on the start position on the stage. create a
new keyframe in the timeline several frames ahead, and with this
keyframe selected, move the plane to the end position. Then click
on one of the frames in between the start keyframe and the end
keyframe, and in the properties palette, select Tween: Motion.
replace the playhead at the beginning of the timeline and hit
return to see the animation in the authoring environment. if you
want to make it last longer, add more frames between the start and
end frames (select a frame in between and hit F5 to add frames or
Shift-F5 to delete frames). this is pretty basic, but it should get
you started...
good luck,
albee
New to flash, errors in actionscript compile
Hello all. I'm adding a small .swf object (XSPF Web Music Player) to a site I'm working on. I need to add two lines of code to make external javascript calls, so, I guess I need to re-compile the actionscript (please forgive me, I'm extremely new to flash). I'm using MTASC to compile at the command line. I'm getting errors at the start of the file, pretty much at the first thing not-commented. The .as file is posted here http://pastebin.com/f3c4a4a03 and it produces an error(characters 0-4 : parse error Unexpected stop ) at stop. As I'm new to flash, is there anything you guys see in there which would make it break at stop()? or any other pointers at all?
Thanks.
