Newbie: Can HBox be used in Flash CS4?

Still sorting through the differences between Flex and Flash.  Am wondering if various controls available in Flex can be used in Flash.  I'm coding in AS3.  If so, are there any pitfalls to doing this?
Thanks!

Hi,
Could you please let us know on which text component do you intend to use Squiggly?? Squiggly is a Action Script 3.0 Library which currently supports few UIComponents like:
MX components: TextArea, TextInput and RichTextEditor
Spark components: TextArea and TextInput
In addition it supports TLF TextFlow.
Thanks

    hi there,
    bruce from adobe just posted a comment over at our blog (apdevblog.com) saying that someone here at the adobe forums is looking for a spellchecker that also works with textfields in flash ...
    we released the second version of the Apdev Spellchecker yesterday - check it out: http://apdevblog.com/actionscript-spellchecker-for-flash-textfields-with-source-code-and-e xample
    It's built on top of the Squiggly classes but can be used with every dynamic textfield in flash/actionscript.
    Take a look at the example: http://apdevblog.com/examples/apdev_spellchecker/
    and you can download the apdev spellchecker class here: http://apdevblog.com/examples/apdev_spellchecker/src/ApdevSpellChecker.as
    maybe this is what you were looking for ..!?
    cheers,

  • How do I fix a font compatibilty issue from Mac to Windows, using Adobe Flash CS4?

    Hi,
    I need to edit a Flash movie that somebody else developed in Adobe Flash CS3 on a Mac. I'm using Adobe Flash CS4 on Windows (Vista). However, the font that shows up on my computer is much bigger than on the .SWF that he produced.
    He used a custom font, which I had to add to my system Fonts folder. Because Adobe Flash detected the right fonts on my computer, it didn't map them to substitute fonts. I verified that Flash is indeed using the same font files that he used.
    I believe the fonts are being rendered differently because I'm using Windows.
    How do I fix this?

    hi all - I have a similar problem with flash - basically the plugin crashes pretty much every time I am not looking at it directly (playing online games in tabs for example)
    I have tried disabling the "memory-safe-away-time-out thingee" in config:about - to no avail. I have also tried disabling all other plugins (not that I actually have many - Java, VLC, quicktime, some windows stuff), have set themes to default, have made sure all plugins are latest version.
    currently running the 4.0.b2 Firefox version cause of the plug in crashes in the 3.6.8 version - same problem though.
    and where it gets really strange is that a friendly help person on the adobe site suggested I upgrade my firefox to version 3.8 (while I was on the 3.6.8 version) and that would fix it. which I thought was.. interesting as 3.6.8 is the latest version as Firefox upgrade check insisted.
    by now i have invested at least 4 days trying to fix this issue and I gotta say... I am tempted to actually try other browsers, though firefox is my default browser since years.

  • Can't type in "{" in flash cs4

    I´ve been having this problem ever since I installed flash cs4. I don't know if its because of the operating system or because of the keyboard, the only thing I know is that I can't type in any symbol that requires "ctrl+alt". I'm using a portuguese (PT) keyboard layout. for example, it I want to type in "@", i would have to press"ctrl+alt+2", like for some other symbols. In this specific case, none work from the key 1 to 9 (ctrl+alt+0 works). I've noticed this only happens in flash because while using photoshop i have no problems with the keyboard.
    I've tried re-installing the program but the problem continues. I really need atleast the "{" to work so I can use action script. Can anyone tell me what to do?
    By the way, my OS is vista x64 (if that affects anything)
    Thanks in advance.

    I had the same problem. Simply download and install [http://get.adobe.com/flashplayer/ Flash Player], and you'll be able to type in Flash input boxes again.

  • I could really use some Flash CS4 help.....

    I have used Flash CS4 but I have a problem that no one seems to have an answer?  This may be a bug in the software, I don't really know.  Here's the problem:
    I create a flash movie, including sound clips, and export the movie in an .avi format and the masks won't work.
    I export the exact same movie in a .swf format and the masks work but the sound clips don't.   The sound clips don't even show as a "blue bar" across the movie as they normally do?
    Do any of your really intelligent people know how to get the export of a movie in Flash CS$ into a .avi or .swf format making both the masks and sound clips work?   I'm using Corel Video Studio Pro X2 on a PC.  Ton's of RAM.   I build this computer to build video's.
    Thanks!!!

  • After switching  to Creative Cloud can I still use my boxed CS4 as a second product?

    I'd like to start using Creative Cloud. As I already have boxed CS4 version I am qualified for a first year discount.
    Does it count as an "upgrade" or as buying new product with "discount". In other words, can I use Creative Cloud (bought with a discount for owning CS4) on one/two computer as one license and still use my old CS4 on another(1 or 2) computer as a separate license (for other person to work with)?

    Hi Marta,
    I believe it countrs as an upgrade, which typically means you can continue to use the prior version on the same computer and cannot sell it.

  • Why can't I use adobe flash player to open attachments

    Why can't I use adobe to open attachments - have downloaded latest version but still get a black page

    You're probably using IE11. This is a known problem with Internet Explorer 11, which Microsoft has been aware of since October 18 when they released their latest "untested" browser. The pages can't recognize the browser, so they don't recognize any of the plugins, like Flash Player. So far, Microsoft has made NO indication that they have any plan to fix it soon.
    Microsoft's recommendation is to use Compatibility View for affected pages, and "pretend" you're using an different browser. Trouble with that is it has seen limited success at best, and you have to individually enable it for EVERY page that has problems.
    I'm not big on "pretending" so I recommend actually using another browser, at least until Microsoft gets their act together and fixes IE..
    Firefox (from Mozilla)
    Opera (from Opera)
    Safari (from Apple)
    Chrome (from Google)
    ANY of those will work where IE11 won't, with the Flash Player Plug-in (For all other browsers), and Chrome doesn't even need that because it has its own Flash Player plugin built in.

  • Why can't u use adobe flash player with iPad II ?

    I use adobe flash player a good bit on my pc but I cannot download it from my ipadII why?

    it's an Internet Browser add-on and apple doesn't allow any add-ons for the Safari Application due to security issues, certain add-ons could give potential spyware, virus, or other things to get your personal information.
    Apple computers allow add-ons because typically people aren't using their computer to make emergency phone calls and things like that like they do from the mobile devices, so the computers can afford to get errors and crash while it would be a huge liability for Apple to allow the phone's potential harm.

  • Understanding Flex: Can it be used without Flash-knowledge, and some other questions

    Hi.
    I'm trying to understand how Flex works. My understanding is
    that Flex is like the integration link between Flash-content and
    .NET-applications on the web. We need rich interface on our
    .NET-applications - without ActionScript-coding required from the
    programmer's side.
    Can this be acheived with Flex alone?
    What is Coldfusion required for? Can Flex be used without it
    to create the rich web interface?
    Are basic components included and ready-to-be-used? What if
    special components are needed? E.g. multi-level menu-tree or some
    special data grid. Can this be developed by a Flash-programmer and
    used as a "generic" component?
    My reason for choosing this would be that we easily can
    acheive great web-layouts that are Flash-based, and that interact
    with our .NET-applications. Is this the product I'm looking for?
    Thanks alot in advance! :D

    It is absolutely possible to create complex custom components
    in Flex and without FlashPro.
    Flex can communicate with the server in several ways.
    WebService: SOAP-based
    HTTPService: XML over HTTP, (like REST and AJAX)
    RemoteObject: uses proprietary amf protocol, needs Java or CF
    on back-end
    There are some others like URLLoader and sockets.
    Unless you need your back end functionality to be generally
    available to anonymous third parties (hence the wsdl), WebServices
    are unnecessarily complex.
    I prefer HTTPService, I post xml strings in the normal
    name=value format to the server and use e4x xml as the resultFormat
    in flex.
    Even though you said "roughly", that is still an impossible
    question to answer, there are too many variables: On the back-end,
    do you need to install a database? Create the schema? or is some of
    that part done already? On the front-end, How will you navigate the
    records? See, too many variables.
    The communication part is by far the easiest. Almost
    negligible, although the Flash Player security can cause some
    head-scratching!

    Thanks for the reply.

  • How can I make a 3D cube using only Flash CS4?

    Looking for a tutorial on how to make a 3d cube. The best one I found was how to make a book, which is three sides short of a cube. If worse comes to worse I think there's a way to take two identical movie clips with three sides each and pivot them around the same point to form a cube. But if there's some solid instruction anyone could provide or a link, it would save me countless hours of guessing testing and revising.
    Thanks!

    Hi,
    Wire in '448' to the 'New Permissions' of the Access Rights VI. This will set the file as readable, writable and executable. I just tried this (on WinNT, though).
    The 'permissions' parameter is a 16-bit integer where the least 9 bits are used. Of these, for Windows, bits 8, 9, and 10 (0-indexed) are important (i.e. if these are set = integer 448). See online Help for full details.
    Hope this helps,
    Khalid

  • Why can't I use the Flash executable on my computer to see Flash in FF?

    I was able to get the Flash player installed on my work computer (I do not have admin rights). It allows me to see Flash in IE8, but I can't get FF8 to use it.
    I realize there is a plug-in, but isn't there also the opportunity to use installed applications to run programs?

    There are two different versions of Flash for Windows, the '''''ActiveX''''' version for IE and the '''Plugin''' version used by Firefox and most other browsers.

  • Can't rename Layers in Flash CS4

    When I double click on a layer name the editable text field appears for a fraction of a second, then disappears.
    The only way around this is to right click and change the name in Properties... which isn't very convenient esp. since "Properties" is at the bottom of the list and the timeline is also at the bottom of the screen.
    At one point, this problem resolved itself. Not sure what I did to fix it. But recently I had to trash my preferences and now the problem is back.
    Can anyone help?

    Using CS4 on Visat Ultimate.
    I closed Behaviors and Actions in the Classic workspace and still couldn't rename layers.
    I switched to Essentials workspace and then could rename layers.
    Then switched back to Classic and could still rename layers.
    Haven't reopened Behaviors or Actions, though.
    Why doesn't Adobe fix this stuff?
    And add Type on a Path at the same time!
