Testing Flash 6 target movie with Flash 8

I only have a Mac and am wondering if there's any reliable
way to test a movie targeted to flash 6 or 7 when I have flash 8
installed. Is "test movie" reliable? Thanks.

You can try to test the movie using flash player 8, but more
than likely code from flash 6 will not be parsed correctly using
the flash player's engine. You can always uninstall flash player 8,
install a lower flash player and then test it, but that seems like
more trouble than what it might be worth.

Flash Satay: communication with Flash

Hello everyone!
I would want to know if it is possible to communicate with a
Flash Object
wrote with "Flash Satay Method" (IE and Firefox).
Ex:
<object type="application/x-shockwave-flash" width="550"
height="400"
id="flash_conn" name="flash_conn" data="flash_conn.swf">
<param name="allowScriptAccess" value="sameDomain" />
<param name="movie" value="flash_conn.swf" />
<param name="quality" value="high" />
<param name="bgcolor" value="#ffffff" />
</object>
Max

Hello there,
I have also used the SATAY method of embedding into a
webpage..
As Jeckyl has stated, this method is poor, however it may
validate with w3c, it is not a practical method, one of the main
reasons for this is that the movie is not streamed due to the way
the object class is used.
Instead the whole object must be loaded before run.. Im not
sure if the same case is true in IE, but i definately found this
with FF.
I have returned to using the standard flash object method, i
find this version below works best with IE and FF, the object and
embed tags must both be included as FF and IE read the tags
differently..
<object classid="clsid:
d27cdb6e-ae6d-11cf-96b8-444553540000" codebase="
http://fpdownload.macromedia.com/pub/shockwave/cabs/flash/swflash.cab#version=8,0,0,0"
width="700" height="500" id="flash">
<param name="allowScriptAccess" value="sameDomain" />
<param name="movie" value="flash.swf" />
<param name="loop" value="false" />
<param name="menu" value="false" />
<param name="quality" value="best" />
<param name="wmode" value="transparent" />
<param name="bgcolor" value="#ffffff" />
<embed src="flash.swf" loop="false" menu="false"
quality="best" wmode="transparent" bgcolor="#ffffff" width="700"
height="500" name="flash" allowScriptAccess="sameDomain"
type="application/x-shockwave-flash" pluginspage="
http://www.macromedia.com/go/getflashplayer"
/>
</object>
( note: The above example is used in a XHTML 1.1 document,
using Flash 8.
Also, in the first property of the object class 'classid' i
have inserted a space between the "clsid: d27.." as this was
displaying a smiley face on the forum

Flash CS5 movie with 2167 frames doesn't render properly when published

I have a flash animation (.fla) that I am creating in flash professional CS5.
I have not finished development but have hit a snag with completing it, because when the movie has 2166 frames or less, it publishes to swf correctly, but when I add additional frames (2167 or more), upon publishing to swf my 3D animations and text do not display in the published swf file.
I know in the older versions of flash there is a frame limit of 16000 frames, but is there an even smaller frame limit in flash CS5 of 2166 frames or less? Perhaps this limitation is only apparent when using the new features like 3D animation?
Adobe, is there a bug fix for this? Any suggestions?
Thanks

Here's the workaround I used to fix this if anyone experiences a similar problem:
Problem:
When publishing from flash CS5 with actionscript 3.0 to swf, publishing takes a long time and 3D tweens and text do not display in the published movie.
Workaround:
File > Publish Settings
Select the Flash tab
In the script dropdown, change the option from Actionscript 3.0 to Actionscript 2.0
If you have any 3D tweens, a warning will appear - "3D tweens can only be supported in ActionScript 3.0 or higher. 3D properties will be permanently removed from all tweened objects if the current publish settings are changed. There is no undo for this operation."
Click Ok
If you have any TLF text, another warning will appear "TLF text can only be supported in ActionScript 3.0 or higher. TLF text will be permanently converted to classic text if the current publish settings are changed. There is no undo for this operation. Undo history will be cleared."
Click Ok
Any text that was converted to Classic text may have changed in layout & position
review and fix all your text
Save the file.
Publish to swf and test
File > Publish Settings
Select the Flash tab
In the script dropdown, change the option from Actionscript 2.0 back to Actionscript 3.0
Add your 3D tweens back in
Publish to swf and test
If anyone has a better solution I'm still interested to hear it, as my workaround doesn't allow you to use TLF text.

Merge Flash Player Skin with Flash Video for Single Flash File

My company uses a content management system for it's website and I am the administrator. The CMS does not require or use html code. I am a new to Flash, but I am able to produce some simple files. I have compiled a simple 2 minute video clip that I need to upload to my companies website. The Flash file requires a player skin which I was able to produce. I understand that when you output to Flash, two files are created. As I understand it, one file is for the skin and the other is for the movie along with the html code that links the two. Unfortunately, our content management system does not recognize the link between these two sets of files and I am unable to import them. I can import the flash movie clip without the player, but that does not suit my needs. I can import the player skin without the movie, but there would be no point. Is there a way to output both files into a single Flash file with the player skin embedded into the Flash movie? I have the full Adobe Master Suite CS4, is it possible another program could be used for that purpose or is this an impossibility? Any information you could provide would be appreciated...thanks...

Acrobat X Flash content broke with Flash 14 upgrade!

Does anyone know the deal with Acrobat's Flash content support? I recently upgraded to Flash Player 14 and now when I insert swfs into Acrobat X Pro, it tells me to download a compatible version of Flash Player for Acrobat. When I follow the link, it's broken! What is going on? Did Adobe break Flash support in Acrobat? I use this functionality quite often, and it would be miserable to have to maintain an older version just for that feature! Please help!

I ran the update for Acrobat and it now seems to be working.

How to Publish to Flash Player 11 with Flash Professional CS 5.5?

Need help with flash templates in Mac...

Hello, I did some searches in the forum but found nothing.
I have a problem. I have a Mac and and using Dreamweaver CS5.5.
Recently I download some templates with flash from Hostgator.
The message I get is: "This page contains some SWF objects that may not work properly in the most recent versions of Internet Explorer. Dreamweaver cannot convert them to the new SWF markups. Please delete each of them a insert again"
Could you help me please?
Thanks,

Hello,
The support from HostGator.com told me this:
After reading about Adobe Dreamweaver and using the library SWF objects. This seems to be a fairly particular error with Adobe Dreamweaver CS4.
I have read three articles:
http://forums.adobe.com/message/2958378?tstart=0
http://www.dreamweaverclub.com/forum/showthread.php?t=33323
http://www.vbforums.com/showthread.php?t=579625
They all concur this error is completely ignorable in some way. If you include the object, and just ignore the message, your content will still upload to your site. This has to do with how adobe has changed the embedding of objects since previous versions.
However, what I can concur from all of this is that you need to simply just re-add the file to your site/library, or just ignore the error message and the embed code should work just fine.
I test a hostgator template with flash on their server, and works fine.
I want to know your opinion. T hanks for your help...

Maximum frame bytes in 15 fps Flash 8 movie

I have a Flash 8 movie, with several motion tweens that take
the average frame size from 200 bytes up to 1000 at about halfway
thru my movie. What is the max acceptable when designing movies at
15 fps? And is there a way around this that won't cause delays in
downloading?
thanks.

I'm soprry, I should have been more explicit. I am importing
to Flash 8, but
I have to publish as Flash 6 so it's not flv files I am
creating, so thus
not dynamically loaded flv. These files are being presented
inside an
Authorware file so Flash 6 is a must ... I cannot use the
Flash AX control,
I have to use the internal Flash suppor provided by
Authorware.

No, compression is less of an issue for me ... I have a
handle on that black
art. It's just the reconciliation of multiple frame rates I
need to get to
the bottom of :-)

Flash MX vs. Flash 8

Hello,
I have Flash 8 on my Home PC, on which I do most of my
flashing. But somtimes I get bored a school, and work on some flash
stuff there. However, when I try to open up some stuff I worked on
at home (flash 8) at school (Flash MX), It says: "Unexpected File
Type", and refuses to open the file, even though it's a .fla file.
I even tried saving my flash 8 files as flash MX 2004, on my home
PC. I am getting overly frustrated.
Help?

Your title seems to say one thing and your description the
other. You shouldn't have any problem opening Flash MX files with
Flash 8.
But Flash MX (also known as Flash 6) can only open files that
are in MX or earlier format. Flash 7 and 8 didn't exist when MX
came out so how could it know about those formats?
Flash 8 can save to Flash MX04 (also known as Flash 7) format
but it can't save back to MX format. So you are not going to be
able to open Flash 8 or 7 files with MX.
PS: And you should be paying attention and studying in
school!

Installing / upgrading from Flash 10.1 to Flash 11 in Android. How may I do that?

Hello,
I got my new tablet, and I am having problems to browse facebook. I can browse it perfectly, but I cannot see the videos of the walls, it says I need a flash upgrade and that I must press over the video to jump to the adobe website, to detect my operating system and browser.
Okay.
I do that, and it says I have a Mac OS X
That is not true!!! I have Android 2.2 !!!
So it is clear the automatic recognition don't work at all and I have to install the new Flash 11.
Okay... I am very confused about this, and I want to do this safely.
First doubt, where may I get the original Adobe Flash APK file with Flash 11 ?
There are a lot of websites that provide APK in a doubtful manner... and well, I'd rather prefer to enter in an official place from Adobe, and download Flash from there. But without automatic recognitions, I just want to download Flash 11 for Android.
How may I do that?
THIS TABLET DON'T HAVE ANDROID MARKET SUPPORT, so I cannot get the APK file from Market.
There are many many tablets that don't support market, and they also need flash to browse the web.
Second doubt... do I need a specific version of Flash for my browser?
How may I know what browser I have installed? I tried to verify this in my tablet and I have no idea of how to do that?
My tablet is this:
http://www.hannspree.com/Global/Product/TabletPC/HANNSpad/SN10T1/
http://www.hannspree.com/HSPv3Images/MicroSite/Hannspad/EU/index.html
I really would appreciate your help with this.
Thanks

Very nice text, I've read it.
And well ? what happens? Don't understand.
I even cannot upgrade from Flash 10.1 to Flash 10.3
If are you telling me that Flash 11 is for Android 3 that is not my main problem, because I even cannot upgrade from Flash 10.1 to 10.3
So if Flash 11 is for Android 3 ok understood.
But how may I update from Flash 10.1 to Flash 10.3?
I still having the same problem, I cannot upgrade.
When I activate the Merkamarket (an alternative Market) it detects I have Flash 10.1 and recommend me to apply an update to Flash 10.3
Okay, I apply the update, and cannot be installed.
So I need a way to update the dinosaur (Flash 10.1) to something more recent as Flash 10.3
Also... I dont understand why Adobe don't provide a link to download the APK files of Flash 10.1 or Flash 10.3 ?
All the APK files must be find in alternative websites, but not in the website of the maker (this)
I dont understand that. Why?
If you or someone can guide me step by step about how to upgrade a bit my Flash 10.1 to Flash 10.3 (assuming Flash 11 be just for Android 3) I'd be grateful.
Thanks

BPM Workspace can't display the flash movie with IE

Hi
We have the following problem, we have a BPM project with a flash screen, when we execute the project in the workspace of BPM studio we can see the Flash, but when we published the project in BPM Enterprise , the workspace can't display the flash movie, it just display the panel without buttons and fields. This happen just in Internet Explorer, in other browsers we can see the flash.
Any idea or solution ??
Thanks in advance

Actually, I got it working now...
It seems that I have to have all the files in the same folder
as the page it displays on!
Historically I would dump a standard flash clip (not a
converted movie with buttons) into the /images folder.
I tested this intitally in a /video folder (just to keep all
the files in one place) which would display the clip but not the
buttons but as soon as I moved the files in the same directory as
the page itself (which is the main index.html) it worked fine!
So if anyone does read this is there a reason for that as I
would like to keep everything in separate folders!
Cheers, J

How to place a Flash swf file with a movie FLV file embedded in DW

     My hair is getting shorter by the hour or maybe missing. I have created a SWF file with Flash 8 that has an embedded FLV file that was created from a MP4 file.   The SWF file works perfectly in FLASH including my Flash nav buttons, and the movie with soundtrack and the buttons for control of volume and start stop. Now I am ready to place it on the web using DW to make the html page. What happens when I test the page on FireFox or IE is the background loads, the buttons load but do not work properly anymore but worse than that: The slide show and the control buttons do not even show up.
     I am also having trouble defining my site locally. I select new site and tell it where every thing is but no luck. All in the same directory, right now I have a image directory but I have not used them on the page as the only image is a jpg and flv file and they are embedded in the swf file.
     I know this is 2 different programs but the Flash files need to be placed in a HTML file to be uploaded, and I have to text them first.
HELP
Randy

from the Premiere Pro Help section about importing SWF files:
" Interactive content and scripted animation are not retained. Animation defined by keyframes in the main, top-level movie is retained."

Flash movies with play button don't work

I have the 'simple' problem that everytime I see a "play" button on a web page with flash content, clicking on it won't start the movie. However, e.g. YouTube movies work fine. So it seems it's just movies that do not start automatically after clicking on a link.
Also, checking the flash player e.g. at the Adobe site (http://helpx.adobe.com/flash-player/kb/find-version-flash-player.html), tells me in a flash box I have the latest flash player installed, and I see the flash movie 'flash player is running on your system' with the red ball rolling in it.
I have the same problem for both google Chrome and for IE.
I still have an old Dell Inspiron 6000 notebook with Win XP (latest updates) and ATI mobility Radeon X300 graphics chip, for which I also installed the latest available drivers.
Experimenting with Flash Player settings was unsuccessful so far (e.g. no hardware acceleration, clearing all internet data in the Flash Player global settings tool).
My desktop (also with Win XP and with the same browsers and Flash Players/Flash Plugins installed works fine...).
I also know that it worked at an earlier time with this NB...
I managed to run the movie with a Linux Live CD but that is not what I want to do every time...
Any idea is highly appreciated.....

Hi BalusC, i have saved the datamodel (a ArrayList) in SessionBean. It can't be null. The rows of table display correct. I don't understand, why functions buttons with ObjectArrayDataProvider, but not with ObjectListDataProvider?

Adobe Flash CS6 movie test issue.

I've been having trouble in Flash CS6 using AS2. I have created a character with an idle animation and a walking animation. If I try to test either of them (Ctrl-Enter) it just shows the first frame. It was working when i had only one set of animations, but after adding a second it seems to have stopped working. The main reason I find this odd is because I have not added any code into the actions yet, so the reason can't be faulty code.

by default, only your main timeline plays.
only animation/text/graphics that's attached to the main timeline will display. only code that's attachded to the main timeline will execute (unless you use class files).
HOWEVER, anything (like animation/text/code) that's in a movieclip, as long as that movieclip is attached to the main timeline, will also be displayed and execute.
so keystroke code could be attached to the main timeline. it could also be in a movieclip and that movieclip is attached to the main timeline.
note: just because nesting code in timelines will work does not make it a good idea. in fact, it's a bad idea. the only code should be on nested timelines is stop(),play() and gotoAndStop() and gotoAndPlay()
p.s. nesting animations is a central part of animation with flash.
