★★★ .SWF ISSUES--NEED FLASH GURU ★★★

1) I no longer have the .FLA
2) I plan to convert my .SWF to HTML 5 (eventually)
3) Used a decompiler (trillix), but it was buggy--it corrupted the .SWF
4) Need to retain most or all script, etc. from the .SWF to recreate an .FLA
5) Is it possible?
I appreciate any pro / guru advice--it's been pretty hard to come by....

it's possible if you use a better decompiler. sothink is, imo, the best.

Need Flash Guru: How can I create a 2D Simple tag cloud in Flash/AS3

I have done some searches, but couldn't find anything on Simple 2D tag clouds like this.
I don't need to make it animated, i just need to create a simple tag cloud in Flash. Please help!!
I just need two rows with 16 words, no animation, but texts got to fire onclick event as button.
Please help

1. create a movieclip that contains a textfield. give the textfield an instance name (say tf) and assign the movieclip a class (say MC).
2. create a textformat instance.
3. create an array of your words.
4. loop through your array of words
a. creating a movieclip for each word,
b. assign the textformat a size (a random integer between your desired limits should work),
c. assign the word to the text property of the textfield and
d. assign the textformat to the textfield and autosize your textfield
e. add the movieclip to the display list
f. position the movieclip (after the previously positioned one)
g. add your event listener (possibly using another array).

CP SWF file to play on an iRiver U10 MP3 - Do I need Flash

Hi,
Wonder if anyone has tried this and can perhaps explain the
basics to me...
I have been using Captivate to create web delivery projects
Versions 2 and 3...I want to try recreating a couple of my pieces
optimised for playback on a mobile device - specifically the iRiver
U10 - which is described as having Flash file playback capability
(i.e. can play Flash games etc.) It is highlighted as a suitable
device on this site...
But, before I buy one - can anyone tell me if I need Flash
Professional and also Flash Lite software just to achieve this? I
do not currently own Flash...and it is all quite a big expense just
to satisfy my curiosity about how all this works!
Hope someone can help...if you specifically have experience
of the iRiver hardware - I would also like to know what the screen
size is in pixels as I can find no other reference that 2.2
inches...
Hope someone can help.
With thanks
Rach

Thanks for your response :-)
It is when I try open a website that I am busy building on my Wamp Server, then the Flash header doesn't open but instead tells me that I need Adobe Flash Player. When I install the latest version I go into my Firefox Add-ons> Extension, it is is flagged and tells me that it is not compatible with this version of Firefox.
On the other hand in the Add-ons > Plug ins, it shows Shockwave Flash 10.1.r85 as installed, but my Flash header still doesn't play.
Please advise

Issues with Flash Pro CS5 on Mac

Hi,
I recently bought a MacBookPro 15", 2.4 GHz Intel Core i5, 4GB 1067 MHz DDR3 and CS5 Creative Suite. Built in Intel HD Graphics and NVIDIA GeForce GT 330M.
Hi have some issues with Flash Pro:
- when objects on the stage are quite big (for example a 800x3000 movie clip), it start showing strange colors and wrong position, however when double clicking the movie clip to edit it, it looks correct. Also no problem when publishing. See images attached, the first one is correct, the second one shows the problem, when editing the mc in the 2nd image i get the third image that is correct.
Correct:
Wrong:
After entering editing mode:
- after a while, when making a change in the stage or in the time line (deleting frames for example), it doesn't show it immediately, but i need to refresh the page. This happens more when opening many fla in the same time. Closing and restarting Flash fixes it, for a while.
- after a while it doesn't show when selecting an object, the object looks like is not selected, however i can see that it is in the properties panel. This happens more when opening many fla in the same time. Closing and restarting Flash fixes it, for a while.
Hi have been using CS3 and CS4 with less powerful computers before (always mac) and i never encountered these issues.
Removing preferences and Application support files didn't help. I also updated Flash to v. 11.0.1, but no joy.
Does anyone know what's the problem?
Thanks a lot.
Mike

Based on some searching and testing, it seems that if you redirect ~/Library/Application Support/Adobe/Flash CS5 to a location on the local hard drive, rather than the network account storage, the problem ceases.
I hope this helps anyone else who may run into this problem.
Take care,
Branden

Windows Mobile issues re Flash Player

Hi - I am trying to install Windows Mobile on to my PC and it is proving a frustrating experience. Each time I try to load it states "You need Flash Player 8 or later. If you already have it this might be corrupt so please re-load" . I have tried installing FPlayer (v10) many times and am told that this has been successful, however I cannot progress past this same comment "You need..." i.e. cannot load the disk. I have searched this issue and it seems that there is a known issue regarding MS / Adobe Flash Player - something to do with 'permission' but I am unable to find anywhere that (i) explains this so that I can understand it (ii) suggests a solution in layman's terms (iii) has a link to a solution that works - they all say Error. I have tried re-booting, closing all apps before uninstalling old Flashj Player etc but no luck. Any suggestions much appreciated !

Hi Devin,
You would still need the (full) Flash 9 player on your mobile as that is the version of Flash that Xcelsius is generated for. Flash Lite will not work either because that is a cut down version of the flash player...
Maybe Adobe will create Adobe AIR for mobile devices (and support the Flash 9 player), we'll have to wait and see what happens...
Regards,
Matt

How to embed Flex swf into existing Flash?

Hello,
I am brand new to Flex, so I desperately need your help!
I have an existing Flash file, written in Flash 8. When I
open this file, it plays in Flash Player 9, the latest player I
have installed on my machine.
This Flash file tries to dynamically load about.swf, a stub
file created by the designer. It works.
I am a programmer, so I want to create my own about.swf in
Flex 2 and then substitue the existing about.swf written in Flash
with my about.swf written in Flex. The problem is that the existing
Flash file just displays a blank when I try loading about.swf
written in Flex.
Is there any way to load SWF file written in Flex 2 into an
Flash file written in Flash 8?
Thank you for your help!!!
Evgueni

I think no.
Flash 8 uses Actionscript 2.0, but Flex 2.0 uses AS3. I think
these will be incompatible, as they use different VMs.
If the two swf's exist individually, in their res[pective VM,
you can communicate between them using LocalConnection.

.swf imported in Flash Catalyst shows only the Flash Shockwave icon

I have scoured the FC forums and watched all of the Adobe TV episodes
on importing .swf files into Flash Catalyst but I am still faced with the following problem.
I have a basic animated .swf file that I created in Flash CS5. I am trying to import that .swf file into a Flash Catalyst project but when I do I only see the blue border around the asset when I click it in the layers panel. In the top left corner is a small round Flash Icon ( I believe it is the Flash Shockwave version - Blueish Gray). Nothing shows when I "Run" the project nor when I added the .swf file in the local folder from where Flash Catalyst runs the project.
I tried re-publishing the original Flash file in different version of Flash player, but to no avail. Not sure if I am doing something wrong, or if I have imported incorrectly or what.
Even though I cannot see the .swf file imported into Flash Catalyst, I still tried to add an interaction to play on Application Start, but nothing there either.
At a loss and looking for some direction.
Thanks in advance for your response.
Cheers!

Erik -
It's a pleasure to help someone! I just got through this as you can see. Only problem is I just hacked it with no precision, so for example I moved a lot of files to the server to make them accessable and then it played. But near as I can tell, I'll tell you the story.
There are two things going on. When you play it locally it's different from when you play it on the web. You are correct, you should see the first frame of the swf in your animation. To get it to play (assuming it is set to play)you then have to control+enter to preview (on windows). The assests are laid out locally in the file structure displayed in the url bar. no?
Part of it is that there may be several things going on here... All I can do is tell you all the numerous problems I had, made worse because I had 3 different work-stations...
I had problems when I had several swfs floating around in the library and I think similar names: Eventually I just did a clean export of the swf (the first one was from Flash... 3? 4? and Catalyst is cs5... ) and such to just do the work-flow in one motion. I had too many work-stations going on. So that part I finally did cleanly, and when that was settled, I could handle the file issues.
The swf: It does have to be in the same folder, and not in a sub-folder. Also, all the contents from DEPLOY TO WEB - just drag it into your site folder defined by dreamweaver or whatever and put it on the server at the same level, NO russian dolls (no file folders within folders). With Dreamweaver, when you upload a swf, you select the MAIN file and supposedly DW pulls files - it does, but not all of them, such as supporting swfs.
I would have thought that DW would do it correctly automatically : It seems to want to: but there are still kinks.
If you're like me, you recognize that catalyst is a powerful creative stage, but this stuff is just annoying and really easier just man-handled with precision once and forgotten about lol.
I heard also some grumbling on swfs that are just too huge or have aspects that don't import well, but it doesnt' sound like a problem in this case.
Do update me - I'm around this weekend, would love to see you succeed on this.
Cache,
Thanks for your replies. I have put the .swf file in the same "local" directory as the main.html for the FC Project I am working on and no luck locally. However, does the .swf file have to be in the local directory of the FC project prior to it being imported into FC for it to work locally?
Also, when I was watching a video tutorial about inserting .swf files into FC, the graphics/content of the .swf that was inserted could be seen in the design view of FC. My imported .swf only shows a small, round flash icon in the corner and nothing else. This doesn't seem right to me. Shouldn't one be able to see the graphics/content of the imported .swf so that it can be properly placed in the design? That is how it was in the video tutorial. If this is also due to the location of the imported .swf then Adobe has not made that clear in anything I have read or seen.

Saving a swf-file for flash player older than 10.3 in Flash CC

Hi,
I am working with Flash CC and need to save my swf-files for Flash Player older than 10.3.
Is there any chance to do so?
Besides working with CS6 again ;-)
Thanks for every help!

In the meantime I found a very good answer myself.
For anyone who might need it, too:

To Display SWF file or Flash file in Web Page Composer (WPC)

Hi,
I am goning to add & display 'swf file or flash file' in <b>Web Page Composer</b>.
But it is not allowing me to do so.I tried by three ways
1} to upload this file directly from local machine & to add in WPC
2}By using linklist option
3}By creating KM Document iview;which contain swf file.& then adding that iview in wpc.
but at last it is not displaying though allowing to add it in WPC.

Vishal -
First... we are all new to WPC!
Second, no I don't think you need to create a new container. I think that you just need to add the swf type as an allowed type for the container.
So...
Figure out which container you are trying to add the flash file to (as you mentioned, A1, A2, etc).
Navigate to:
Sys Admin --> Sys Config --> Knowledge Mgt --> Content Mgt --> WPC --> Containers.
Edit the container you want to use.
There will be a box named Allowed Mime Types.
In here, select the "swf" mime type (make sure the check box is checked). Then Save.
At my company, we had the WPC ramp up from SP12, and are now on SP13.
I'm not sure what you get if the first time you had WPC is SP13, but for us I see two default A1 (and A2...B1..C4...etc) containers -- one that has "default" in the name and one that has "def" in the name. From what I see, SP13 WPC uses the one with "def" in the name, not "default". So, make sure you modify the one with "def" in the name.
After you make this change, you should see "swf" in the list inside the container when you are editing a page.
Is this clearer? I wish I could attach a screenshot.

After the recent update I am having issues with Flash based games freezing and not responding.

After the recent update I am having issues with flash based programs not running or loading correctly. The programs will not load or take an extremely long time to load compared to jsut a few days ago. This happens across the board on anything flash based. Also, once they do load they will freeze, stop responding or need to be constantly refreshed to come back alive which is short lived at best. I went thru the help and did all the file deleting, cache clearing, disabling hardware acceleration, removing then reinstalling flash, and even removing and reinstalling my browsers. None of this has helped at all. I am using Chrome and it is up to date and I checked my Flash player and it is up to date. I am running windows 7 64bit.

Here's what you're up against guys,
Adobe writes the base code for Flash Player, and then hands it off to Google, who adapt it to a PPAPI plug-in (it's NPAPI when Adobe writes it). It's then "PepperFlash" and Google embeds it in their Chrome browser. While Google is pushing a "webwide" move to PPAPI Flash Content, a reinvention of the wheel so to speak, not everyone "got the memo", and Google is slowly making it so that PepperFlash will block NPAPI Flash content from running properly, and you have to disable PepperFlash to force the NPAPI plug-in to work, which sometimes fixes it, sometimes not. I have a feeling this is only going to get worse. HTML5 will eventually resolve the video end but game developers need to come up with something that won't require a plug-in.
And to the first post: Since PepperFlash is embedded in Chrome by Google, you can uninstall and reinstall Flash Player from here until your hard drive literally seizes up.... guess what? It has NO EFFECT at all on the PepperFlash plug-in in Chrome because it's a separate file in a separate folder and the uninstaller & installers don't have anything to do with it.

Issues with Flash player in CC

Hi,
I am facing this issue with Flash in CC. We have recently upgraded our Adobe suite from CS6 Master Collection to Adobe Creative Cloud ENT.
The video playback in the software(Flash in CC) is incredibly slow and choppy, which makes it difficult for students to work on their animation.
This is happening with all PCs using Flash CC, there are few students who have Flash CS6 on their PCs and they aren’t having this problem.
Thanks,
Ram

Hi Mohan,
Thanx for the response. below are my specs:
Specs:
Windows 7 Pro, Service pack 1, build 7601
Intel Core i5 760 2.8Ghz
5 GB RAM
Nivdia Gefore GT 220
Just tried your recommendations.
The performance issue exists for both the stage/timeline playback as well as test movie. I tried the suggestion to close the timeline and it doesn’t seem to make any difference.
When playing back footage, the FPS display on the timeline can be seen to fluctuate.
I’ve also tried another thing: Closing Flash CC and opening the test movie SWF file, which opens in Flash Player 11 and it plays perfectly fine.
Tanx.. Ram

Issues coping flash files to a network volume

Hello all I need your help. I have CS6 suite and I have a weird issue with Flash only. I take a flash file create it on a Mac OSX 10.9.2 Desktop. I save and close flash. I drag the file file to a SMB share on the network. I open the file from the drive and now I cannot save the file. It gives me an error that it cannot save. I then close and try to open back up and it gives me an error and the file will not open. I have no trouble with Photoshop CS6, Word or any other files doing the same process. Why is flash different? Thank you in advance.

I agree Steve Warner moved me to this forum. How do i go back?
Thanks

Interface freeze issue with Flash Projector

I am facing an interface freeze issue with Flash Projector running a flex state based application. A Flash Projector exe was generated from a standalone flash player ver 10.2. The target machine on which the problem occuresd has 10.3.
Basically "screen freeze" means that the user interface is running as usual on Flash Player, but it's not responding to any user input (like button presses). But if we alt-tab to another application, the state changes in the Flash player. There is display with buttons on the screen, but touching the buttons or doing anything else - it did not respond. Rebooting the computer fixes the problem.
Can you suggest why this is happening? Is there any known bug in Flash Player.
The problem is this is being hard to reproduce on the developer workstation as it doesn't happen always. But it happens quite often on the target machine running an Intel Atom N270. What debugging steps can you suggest?
Problem Description : http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=z25oV9QWRyk

First, thanks for the video. Having this always makes it much easier to understand the problem. A couple of recommendations. First, if you feel like this might be a player bug, please add a new bug report over at bugbase.adobe.com and if possible please include any sample code or swf's that can help us reproduce the problem internally. Linking the video would also be great. In addition, would you mind reposting this question over on the Flash Professional forums? This forum is primarily for end users, the Pro forums will get you in touch with a wider developer audience who might have additional feedback.
Thanks,
Chris
