Sketching Online w/Flash

I have a client who I'm designing a children's card site for
that wants child visitors to be able to draw and create cards with
Flash or similar program online with the capability of saving the
files for viewing and voting on. Is this possible with Flash? How
much would something like this cost to do. Are any samples or web
sites available where I can find out about this? Do any of you do
this kind of work?
Thanks
David

Yes.

That is kind of like asking, "How much does a car cost?" -
Well, it depends. Are you asking for a Mercedes or a Pinto? In your
case specifically, cost depends on scope, creativity, scalability,
backend architecture, hardware/software and a host of many other
variables. Depending on these variables, it could be 20k or as much
as 150k. Normally something like this would take a meeting or
several meetings to grasp the entire scope; -in order to work up a
proper budget.

Our company did something similar for Chili's "Margarita
Madness." Unfortunately, that contest is over and it isn't online
any more. Outside of that, I don't know of any examples that do
this exact thing. Instead of looking at an overall example that
does everything that you are wanting, perhaps you research the
individual elements. For example, you know that you will need a
voting mechanism. So go find a really good voting script and
reverse engineer it to see how a voting mechanism would work. Then
you have the knowledge to build that into your site. -Do that with
all of your individual elements and you will see your application
starting to come together.

Sort of. I haven't built this exact thing, but I could figure
it out. A good number of people in this forum could. Is that an
offer? Do you want someone to take over building it, someone to
help you build it or someone to council you in getting it done? PM
me if ya want to.

that's normal and expected. go to BIOS, then "LOAD BIOS OPTIMIZED DEFAULTS", then "SAVE AND EXIT". message should gone.
after that if you need to apply some custom BIOS options, back to BIOS and apply them.

How to publish PDF online as Flash player Flip Book

Hello,
Im not sure if this question belongs in this thread, but none the less, here it is:
How can I publish a pdf of a magazine to a website where viewers can flip through the pages like a flipbook. I noticed several publications doing this, and it seems they are using a generic template, that is simply customized for their magazine. Below are some examples of what i am looking for:
http://cmamagazine.dgtlpub.com/
http://update.dgtlpub.com/2014/2014-01-06/home.php
... I was directed to this page by one of the publishers: http://www.adobe.com/digitalpublishing/ebook/
but it does not seem as if this is the technology being used as it is more for mobile readings. Unless digital editions has a feature to publish online as a swf file.
Please help!

True, but my client is the one who sent those samples and asked for something similiar. I am doing some preliminary research before presenting options to the client.
They currently use flippingbooks, just so that viewers can enjoy virtually turning a page. However, the examples i posted have further capabilities such as an archive of the previous publications, which is what my client hopes to upgrade to.
If i were to suggest them to use epub files and actual apps to read ebooks, they may be hesitant as the viewers of the publications will have to be trained on using the new system.
They currently just send an email with a link to the online swf file, and viewers just click and start reading.
It is a bit archaic, but i want to be able to offer all options, one being this outdated swf option, and another which is what desktop publishing suite has to offer.

Cannot view Flash 8 file online with Flash 7 Player

I have content on the site made in both flash player 7 and 8
(simple text animation). The newer content which is just a text
animation is not showing up for my users who are using flash player
7 (it loads blank/white, and you can right click to play/loop etc -
but it doesnt do anything), while it shows up fine for those using
flash player 8. Im sure they could install player 8, but why would
this not work on player 7? Id rather it stay backward compatible.
Am I doing something wrong?
Any problems with this, fixes or advice?
Thanks!

Well .. DERRRRRR
Of course Flash 8 content will not show in Flash Player 7.
If you want to support Flash Player 7, then you need to
publish for Flash
Player 7 (or earlier).
This is called common sense.

Hello kkc_mca.
As I know, unlike desktop PC player, there is no progressive load capability with Flash Lite.
May be there is one option for FL3 is to stream a mp3 from Flash media server or compatible server. You might also be able to use the FL2 video object to stream audio only 3gp or aac audio from RTSP server.
I can not say this is proper way but hope you will be succeed.

Create cool preloader without flash?

Hi all,
Is there a way I can graphically design a preloader with just AI en Flex?
I've found tutorials online using Flash and pure AS3 to create preloaders, but it'd be very convenient if I could use Flash Builder and create a Preloader.mxml with some simple .FXG graphs.
Or maybe there's a way to generate a standard PreloaderSkin.mxml with FlashBuilder which I can use as a template?
Thanks!

Hi,
I had a bit of a play with preloaders, this is what I found.
1. A flex based preloader is no value as it won't work until the framework components are loaded, even if you start to add the needed libraries into a flex swc the file size becomes very large very quickly which defeats the whole purpose of a preloader.
2. Preloaders are happy to be constructed with any elements available in the flashplayer so you don't need a preformed flash based swc or swf as a preloader.
3. Its Easy to write actionscript preloader's in flex.
4. A preloader generator wouldn't be that hard to make maybe an air app with a visual designer that generates the requires actionscript file.
I am going to play with the visual designer idea after experimenting with preloaders that use a config file for 'skinning'.
for a basic as preloader (no flash needed )

If you have NO Flash Player installed on your system, your browser (as long as it's newer than IE8 or Firefox 17) can play YouTube videos.

No sound in browser when viewing flash applications

Hey people, I hope someone can help me...
I have no sound on anything related to flash when viewing
pages online. Flash games or movies (for example) play the video
just fine, but no sound. This has been happening for a few days and
I can't recall anything I did to trigger this.
I am running windows xp home edition, sound card drivers are
all updated, no viruses or spyware, and I have uninstalled and
reinstalled flash player, shockwave player and quicktime a few
times to no avail.
Seems I have done everything in my power to find out what is
wrong, and nothing seems to work. All of my volume control settings
are unmuted and turned up full...
Help?

Regarding web service n multiplayer online board game

I am using a custom web service package : wellconsidered. i
am creating a chinese checkers online using FLash cs3. i used sql
server as database.
This is how it works:
import be.wellconsidered.services.WebService;
import be.wellconsidered.services.Operation;
import be.wellconsidered.services.events.OperationEvent;
var ws = new WebService("
http://www.webservicex.net/WeatherForecast.asmx?wsdl");
var op:Operation = new Operation(ws);
op.addEventListener(OperationEvent.COMPLETE, onResult);
op.addEventListener(OperationEvent.FAILED, onFault);
op.GetWeatherByPlaceName("new york");
function onResult(e:OperationEvent):void { trace(e.data); }
function onFault(e:OperationEvent):void { trace(e.data);
Can this webservice be used for creating the game? this is a
passive pull technology. but is there a way to consistently detect
and send data? the push technology replaced with Timers? Need guide
on this.

OLM SCORM content issue with FLash Player 9 Active X version 9.0.115

Hi,
Does any one have issue completing SCORM online content (flash object) via OLM with FLash Player 9 Active X version 9.0.115 using IE? I have same problem also via mozilla.
I have two computer one with 9.0.45 and one with 9.0.115. I can complete the online course with version 9.0.45 without any issue but the status always incomplete with version 9.0.115. When using 9.0.115 it seem there is not communication between OLM player and the application (nothing showup in the java console).
I checked Adobe website and this is what they quoted:
ActionScript 2 getURL() and ActionScript 3 navigateToURL()calls such as getURL("javascript:myFunction();") fail with live web-server content if the HTML and SWF are in separate domains. This issue appears in Internet Explorer versions 6 and 7.

Dharma,
I just tried a piece of flash content using 9.0.115 on iLearning and had no issues, and this should be no different than OLM.
Is the SCORM Adapter set up and in use with debugging turned on? Do you see information in the java console when running the content using the other version of Flash?

I cannot use Flash Player on Anymeeting

I use an online conferencsing serveice called "Anymeeting." It requires Adobe Flash Player with more than 12 version. I've already installed Flash Player 15. However when I try to enter the system, the same error which says it needs Flash Plyer appears.
The meeting system is installed in the PC and when I start it, it accesses the meeting server online with Flash contents in my understanding.
I couldn't get any respose from anymeeting support center.
I use Windows 7, IE11 (32bit). In tool bar, I check Shock Wave Flash object is on.
I use Adobe Cloud and installed Adobe Flash Professional CC2014, so I was wondering if it affects the meeting system.
If I get any idea to solve the problem, I will really appreciate it. Than kyou.

I never click on a link from Nigeria. They are well known for email scams and other types of internet fraud.

Translating EXE into Flash

Hello.
I am brand new to Flash, Programming, and Network Mechanics in general. I am working with an old version of Flash (Macromedia Flash 8).
My goal is to build a fully functional browser version of the popular MMORPG "Ultima Online" in Flash by the height of this summer (August) for distribution on the Facebook platform.
The server emulator is fully coded freeware (http://www.runuo.com) and I believe the packets are fully documented by a few hobbyists.
Any pointers/tips you can give me would be much appreciated. I have plenty of time and I am willing to learn whatever programs and systems you name.
Thanks!

Building a game is no small feat, especially the size in which you entail. There are so many technologies available today you can leverage to aid you that you can't use I wouldn't even know where to begin.
Here's a start. Take a look at the Stage3D API and classes. Half way down this page links you to several frameworks (Flare, Alternativa, Starling, etc) that are designed to leverage the brand new GPU powered Stage3D framework. They do a lot of the work for you.
http://www.adobe.com/devnet/flashplayer/stage3d.html
For your purposes I would look into Starling first. If it's going to be on Facebook then your audiences computers capabilities will be the entire gaumet from horrifically old win98 laptop to brand new ivy bridge 64gb ram RAID0 SSD gaming rigs. You need to cover them all. So you should start off from the gates using the technology Adobe is promising will adequately power online gaming in the future.
The ever popular Facebook game Cafe World was a good example of AS3 simply not handling lots going on at the same time. It would even bog down a quad core. People would argue flash is not threaded and can't utilize more than one CPU but they don't understand how a CPU works. Aside that, Stage3D removes this problem and opens up the gates up to (as Adobe states) 1000x faster speeds.
Starling is 2D. It is very easy to use and has support from Adobe. They have some nice tutorials to get you up and running.
Problem is, you're on Flash 8. So I'd download the latest Flash Builder and Flash trials. Use Flash Builder to code in and use Flash just to manage assets. Flash CS6 can now even cut out its own spritesheets so you won't need something like Texture Packer (free) to make sprite sheets.
After you make your assets in Flash (graphics, audio, etc) and give it actionscript linkages (classes) you can export that as a SWC. This is optional, you can do the whole thing 100% in Flash Builder, but it's much faster in Flash. Regardless, then you import your SWC into Flash Builder (4.6 is the latest). Make sure you update to the latest release version of Flash (11.2) and AIR (3.2). Then start doing Starling tutorials.
You will find the vast majority of tutorials on any Stage3D or advanced content and examples to be Flash Builder tutorials rather than Flash. There's a reason. It's a better coding app.
There are alternatives to Flash Builder like the FDT eclipse plugin or FlashDevelop. Although not many tutorials utilize them and you'll find yourself spending a lot of time converting what they say into how your particular software does it. And sometimes your software can't do it at all.
If you have any very specific questions, fire away. It's a little large of a target to just ask how to code a game though. But there's a good place to start.
