Updating Studio MX 2004 from Flash mx 2004?

Hi Guys,
just wondering if anyone knows an answer to the following.
I've got myself an update version of studio mx 2004 with
flash pro (with a view to updating to CS3 web premium). My problem
is this, will it update from flash mx 2004 standard or do I need an
earlier version of flash for the update to work?
I know it needs only one application to update, but is flash
mx 2004 standard suitable?
Cheers

Ignore any activation error messages or warnings relating to MX 2004.
The activation server for that version has been shut down.
You can now use a new non-activation serial number provided by Adobe

Passing events from Flash MX 2004 or Flash 8 to Authorware

I would like to send event information, like a button press
or reaching the end of the Flash move, to authorware. Can anyone
help me?

There is an example called 'Flash Nav' in the Show Me folder.

Captivate to MX 2004 to Flash 8

I wasn't sure if this needed to be in the Import, Export, or
Record section.
I have created a captivate project that I ultimately want to
embed in my wordpress blog using the Flash 8 Clear External Skin
(Controller).
I have exported the Captivate Movie to Flash MX 2004
I saved the Flash MX 2004 (.fla) file
When Flash MX opened I "Imported to Stage" the Captivate file
(I've also tried import to library but that didn't work either)
From this point on is were I get stuck... I have tried: "Save
As" "Exporting" etc. from Flash MX 2004.
So that I can import the movie into Flash so that I can then
post the movie to my blog.
I hope that that was clear enough... Please help. >>B.
Val<<

The mistake you made was an early one - when you decided to
bring your Captivate project into Flash and publish from there.
There are many issues with doing that ... for a
Tech
Note defining many of them, click this link
The bottom line is that many Flash users expect that
Captivate will integrate seamlessly with Flash, and it just isn't
so. To understand, remember that Captivate was purchased by
Macromedia with the buyout of eHelp, and the former "RoboDemo" was
put together as a ""first effort" by the Flash family . . . which
was then purchased (very soon thereafter) by Adobe. So Captivate is
really a "version 1.0" effort. Look for better integration with
Flash in the future, perhaps, but right now it is just
not recommended.
You might be very well served, however, by treating Captivate
as the excellent standalone product that it is, and bring the
Captiavte-published SWF directly into your blog or whatever, just
as it is.
Good luck, and
welcome aboard the Captivate User Community!

Flash MX 2004 Patch / updates

Hi Hope this is in the right area.
At the school where I work we use a package system to deploy
software, and after deploying Flash MX 2004, we have found that it
keeps asking us for the product key. From what I have been told and
read this is a bug with in V7.2 and a patch was released to fix the
problem.
Does any one have a copy of the patch or know where I could
locate one to correct this problem, as I have 200+ computers that
will need the key.
I would appreciate any help with this problem.
Thanks
Rob

Hi Walter
Thanks for your reply unfortunately it had no effect on the
problem. I contacted Adobe support and it was their advice to use
the forum, as they could no longer provide support for this version
of flash.
Thanks anyway.
Edit 13th Oct 08 13.09 - Sorry to change the topic a pit but
the company that installed the network CSE have advised that a
network intall of studio mx 2004 might correct the problem. Could
any one provide me with instructions on how to do this?

Update Flash Player in Flash MX 2004

Hi folks,
I'm having a problem with publishing (and previewing)
transitions and reading through the threads think it might be that
I don't have Flash Player 8 or higher. Flash Player 9 is installed
on my computer for web-browsing but when looking in my Flash MX
publish settings, the newest version is Flash 7.
Can anyone advise me how I go about fixing this as it may
solve my other problem? If anyone has any other suggestions of how
to fix the tranisition problem, they are also appreciated.
Thanks in advance.

when i said flash 9 has been released early - i was referring
to the player - not the tool - dont
wanna start false rumours :p

Flash MX 2004 and the Intel-based Macs

Due to the demise of my previous computer I just bought one
of the new Intel-based Macs. Most of my programs seem to work fine
but Flash MX 2004 is crashing shortly after startup. Do I need to
upgrade before I can use Flash again?

I have the same problem launching Flash 2004 on an intel imac 24 inch. All the other programmes of Studio 2004 launch apart from Flash. FYI Flash 8 installs and works fine.
I recollect that someone suggested writing a script(?) in Terminal to solve a similar problem with programmes crashing on launch.

Sizing photo's in Photoshop to use in Macromedia Flash MX 2004

Am trying to create a gallery for webpage using Macromedia Flash MX 2004, have imported photo's into library and got the Flash gallery to publish. But am concerned as the flash .swf file is only 273kb with 20 images in it, the existing gallery file I am wanting to replace is approximaately 2.5mb.
I was advised to downsize each photo to 300x200 pixels which seems to fit the display in the flash file. Thought maybe I am doing something wrong in Photoshop when I am resizing each photo from original 3 or 4 mb photo down to the 300x200 pixel size. Any clues out there?

I really know nothing about Macromedia Flash, but since no one has given any responses my thought is that if doing an action you need small pictures so they will load quickly.
If you resize save as new image so the quality images are not destroyed. If you have a lot of pictures to resize check out Bridge/tools/photoshop/image processor.

Adobe Premiere Pro 2 and Macromedia Flash MX 2004

I'm using Adobe Premiere Pro 2.0 and have recently installed Macromedia Flash MX 2004.
Now when I go to export to Flash I don't get the Adobe Premiere's Flash Export dialog box when I press "Options" from the Export Settings. I get the Flash MX Professional 2004 "Flash Video (FLV) Exporter." It doesn't allow me to change any of the parameters.
I then un-installed Macromedia Flash MX 2004 but still get the same "Flash Video (FLV) Exporter."
Any ideas on how to get the Premiere exporter back?

Well there is no answer to my question, but I did finally get the Adobe Media Encoder dialog box to come back again.
After uninstalling Premiere and QuickTime, then shutting down the computer, rebooting and logging on to the Admin account, shutting down again, rebooting again, logging in to the Admin account again ...
I then went in to the registry and removed all the Entries that had either of these in it:
C:\Program Files (x86)\Common Files\Adobe\DVA\COM
C:\Program Files (x86)\Common Files\Adobe\DVA\FLASH
and these as well
C:\Program Files (x86)\QuickTime\QTComponents\FLV.qtx
C?\Program Files (x86)\QuickTime\QTComponents\FLV.qtx
Rebooted the computer, logged back in to Admin.
I then re-installed QuickTime, and rebooted.
I then installed Premiere and the Adobe Media Encoder Flash dialog now shows up.
I'd be careful messy with the registry if you are trying to fix this type of problem. Try uninstalling quicktime and premiere and do the above shutdown, reboot sequence a number of times before doing anything to the registry.
I'm not sure what I'm going to do about that Flash Website I've working on...

Did macromedia just get crappier with Flash MX 2004?

Did Flash just get cr*ppier? What the h*ll is going on?? Now
that we export our swf, we have to make sure that we f'in mask out
the working area? What genius came up with that bulls**t?? Also,
when we put actions on buttons we have to go thru a lot more sh*t
with typing up all the scripts?? not to mention they are a hell of
lot more bugs!!! c'mon Macromedia, some of us have time constraint
with real deadllnes, so why all the innefficiencies and added
frustrations?? You guys are suppose to make it better with each
version, not f*cking make it sh*ttier..get your head outta your
a$$es. FLASH MX 2004 IS A F'in RIP-OFF!!

"just" get crappier is a bit of an outdated statement - MX
2004 is flash version 7 and the currect
version is Flash 8 - MX 2004 came out well over a year ago.
You don't and never have had to "mask" out the work area - I
have no idea what you are referring to
- can you explain in detail what is or is not happening?
Yes they removed normal mode from the AS panel but brought it
back in flash 8 as "Script Assist"
which is even better.
You refer to "Macromedia" which is no longer (again, dating
yourself
) Adobe bought MM so I think
you may have just emrged from the technology cave so to speak

Won't export to Flash MX 2004

This is the message I get when I export:
"To export a Captivate movie to Flash, you should have
Macromedia Flash 2004 installed."
I do have Macromedia Flash 2004 installed. In fact I removed
Flash 8 from my machine and restarted just so there would be no
misdirection.
Does anyone have any idea what can fix this?
Frankly, I am ready to give up on Captivate for good. I have
been twisting myself over backwards for two months to get Captivate
to work as a robust e-learning tool. It could be that I am just
asking too much of this program.
Still, it is supposed to export to Flash MX 2004 and it's
not. Any ideas?

Hi naimahav
Frankly, I am ready to give up on Captivate for good
I'm not sure what category you fall into here, but it's not
uncommon to see people that are pretty familiar with Flash view
Captivate as some "nifty Flash add in". If this is your category,
it's not surprising you are frustrated. Even though Captivate can
produce .SWF output, it was never intended at any point to compete
with Flash. It has a totally different purpose.
I guess the larger question here is, what are you wanting to
accomplish that you feel Captivate cannot do for you and you feel
the need to resort to bringing it into Flash?
Oh, I suppose while I'm here I should give you a link to a
TechNote regarding the message.

Flash 8 vs. FLash MX 2004

This is a Flash 8 vs. Flash MX 2004 issue...
Anyone else noticing a difference saving files over a network
from Flash 8. I have never had a problem with Flash MX 2004 saving
over a network, but now saving a 14 MB flash file to a Mac OS X
Server is taking up to 2 minutes over AFP!! Server is a Sawtooth G4
running Jaguar Server 10.2.8 - long in the tooth I know!
An odd thing about this is that my first save will take 15
seconds, my second about 2 minutes, the third around 15 seconds,
the fourth around 2 minutes and so on... A "Save as" will take
about 40 seconds consistently.
That is:
0:15 - 1st save
2:00 - 2nd save
0:15 - 3rd save
1:56 - 4th save
Again that is using AFP, but even using SMB I notice this
alternate short/long save time. Using SMB a "Save as" takes 16
seconds on the same 14 MB file. Then the first save will take 3
seconds and the second about 13 seconds, the third save will take 3
seconds the fourth save will take 14 seconds etc...
Now this looks like a good case for using SMB over AFP (but
that is a topic for another forum). However, it is clearly a Flash
8 vs. Flash MX 2004 issue. When I go back to using Flash MX 2004
saves pretty consistently take about 2-3 seconds and "Save As"
takes about 10 seconds. This is using AFP or SMB (SMB is a bit
faster).
I called Macromedia (Adobe) support for help and their only
answer is that "saving over a network is not reccommended or
supported" (neither is this documented, even though some of their
tutorial examples use network workflows). I told them that Flash MX
2004 (and previous) NEVER gave me this problem which has apparently
been introduced with Flash 8 Professional.
Anyone else have this issue?
Thanks
Jfly

you should search this forum the past 2 days - been a few
more posts about working/saving to a
network and losing entire flas - it is never recommended -
with any type of program.

Embedding music; XSPF vs. Flash MX 2004

I'm working on a little personal site that feaatures articles about musicians and short sound clips of some of the their best songs. I've found two good ways to have a little embedded player: XSPF (frree from SourceForge.net) or Flash. Two things I'm worried about: If I use XSPF, it appears the user's browser will download the player and a playlist to the mp3 music file on the server. Pretty much the same way Flash works, I believe, except I think the wav/mp3 is imbedded in a Flash file. Sounds viable. Second thing I'm worried about: I bought Flash MX 2004 from Macromedia before they were bought out by Adobe. It's an old version, but I'm assuming it can do something as simple as create a little player? I didn't really explore it much after I bought it. Any tips appreciated.

1) WMA is not a suitable file type for the web. Use MP3.
2) You don't need to re-invent the wheel.
3) For a better user experience, get a Flash MP3 Player that supports playlists (see link below).
http://www.webdesignbooth.com/10-easy-to-implement-flash-based-mp3-players-for-your-websit e/
For people who don't have Flash capability (iPhone/iPad, etc...), also provide direct links to the MP3 files. Almost everyone has an MP3 capable player like iTunes installed on their system.
Good luck with your site!

ScrollPane in Flash MX and flash Mx 2004 professional

Summary:
The refreshPane method works differently in Flash MX and
Flash MX 2004 Professional
What went wrong?:
I have used scrollPane component in Flash mx and loaded some
content. I changed the content size i.e. width and height
at runtime and after that called the refreshPane() method to
resize the scrollPane. It works fine with Flash MX
But same I tried with Flash Mx 2004 Professional, but it
doesn't work, since in Flash Mx the refreshPane() method resizes
the content and in flash Mx 2004 Professional the
refreshPane() metod reloads the content.
What should have happened?:
Can there be a method in flash Mx 2004 Professional which
just resizes the scrollPane and not reloads the whole content?
Since if I have to generate a content at runtime and resize
it also at runtime then just by calling the method refreshPane() in
flash Mx 2004 Professional, it loads the content what it was
originally and not the changed one.
Product version: flash Mx, Flash Mx 2004 Professional
Product: Flash
Component: scrollPane
I would like to request you to help me in the same as early
as possible.
Thanks and regards,
Shreeram Shiralkar

Flash MX creates .swf files. Dreamweaver CS4 creates HTML
files, and
has the capability of inserting .swf files in a web page. It
doesn't
matter which version of Flash you use to create your .swf
files; they
can be inserted into a web page in any version of

Error in export to Flash MX 2004

Hi,
While exporting to Flash MX 2004 it shows an dialogue box "
To export a Captivate movie to flash, you should have Macromedia
Flash MX 2004 installed."
Even though I've Flash MX 2004 already installed on my
machine, this error shows. How can I get an FLA output from
Captivate ?
FYI: I am making a screen capture movie like elearning
course.

Hi Guys!
Greg said ...
quote:
I wonder if Captivate 2.0 will import a Captivate 1.0 and then
export to Flash with the tweens intact? Any idea yet?]
Hey
Rick, you only made one mistake (but for you even that is
rare). Greg said
"with the tweens intact" ... and you read
"... when tweens interact.".
I'm sure you'll agree that with the clarification, it's not
confusing except the extent to which Greg expects or desires that
movement of objects - including "transitions"? - in the original
Captivate project be preserved after bringing it into Flash 8. As
far as CP1 - to - CP2 - to Flash 8 is concerned, CP1 projects seem
to me to be converted very well. And moving the (now CP2) project
conversion into Flash 8, there is little that won't come along
nicely.
Yes, Greg, including the tweens, which are preserved for the
objects I looked at specifically ... but the right person to answer
that question might be Mark (Fletcher) instead of myself. I
imported CP movies to Flash 8 only to see if it was being done
without the previous loss of non-supported elements (etc.) but I
have no intention of actually working with my Captivate projects
inside the Flash environment - during beta, now, or ever. I just
feel that the power of Captivate is sufficient for my purposes, and
importing it to Flash 8 would accomplish little except to put the
horse in hen-house. (That makes perfect sense to me, and is greatly
humorous as well; but if you don't "get it", I don't think I can
explain it.
